A STRANGE FEELING


Hello!

This is my last composition to this term.

I suppose everyone of you know Robin has passed his driving test. You will ask yourself why I feel strange...
Ok!, that is because I have been going out with him for two years and I am used to see him without car... eventhough he has car, I think he can't drive because I see him like a little boy. I know he is eighteen but it is difficult taking for granted he is enough old to do a lot of things.
Well, as you know why the stranges feelings, I will tell Robin I have read his entry talking about me and I want to tell him thanks for all and thanks for stay close to me and be like he is.

Apart from wishing you everything I hope all goes good in London, I hope you get high marks.

Have a nice weekend!!

A DiFfeRent Expirience


Hi guys!
This entry is going to talk about a new expirience for me. In Fortià, concretly in my street lives a boy who is 10 years old and studies third of primary. His parents are Lithuanian and they have lived here for 4 years. The boy started to go Fortia's school but he didn't understand anything and moreover he didn't pay attention because he doesn't like school. The time passed and my parents and his parents got friends. One of the last summers I wanted to teach Catalan or do extra tuition to people who need it, so Eimans's parents came to visit me because they had decided to bring his child to my classes. Nowadays I help him to get some money.
At first I didn't know how to start to teach him because I didn't know his level, etc. I made him do a dictation and I could see he didn't know anything, at even how to write. He pretended to write something but really he couldn't. So I was shocked and the next thing we did was learn the alphabet, the vowels and the consonants. Luckily now he can write and also he knows tha basic grammatical rules.
I'm very proud and glad for him because he can continue a normal class.

A Sultry World Is Found Orbiting a Distant Star

This piece of news talks about discoveries of stars, possible planets and other space's elements.

This bring me to think on our planet and about what we are doing to destroy it, so I'm going to talk about the Earth and I'll use some words related to the Environment, taking advantage of what I have studied them in class.
First of all I tell you that there is no solution to save the planet from pollution or from the crisis. Talking about pollution, is definitly impossible to arrange the Earth because it's too late so in the future the people who has money will go to another planet and poor people will be ill and they'll die. I know I am very drastic but the real life is like you can read here. Therefore if we discover new renewable resources they will not be enough to stop with all that.
Well, and less not speak about crisis. I don't know if it will be able to be repared because work at the moment is too bad.
I would like to have hope but I have already lost it.

Do you think the crisis will improve? When?

Is my mind clear?


Today my class has gone to Girona's University. This has been the last visit to the Universities so it means I won't get more opportunities to obtain information about different careers.
Now is the moment for thinking seriously in my future life because the time is going on and I am every day nearer the final decision. In Girona I have listened the Biology chat but I really want to study veterinary, it is my wish and I am going to fight for it, but I don't know if I am not able to get in it because I need a 7,5 and there are subjects which stop me getting the mark.
Also I have to look for the registration prices. I hope everything goes well because now I have other personal problems and things are more complicated.
Anyway, now I can try the "selectivitat" subjects and I am not sure about it. If it was left to me I would choose Biology because I think I can pass it, but If I try this, then the other subjects like Chemistry, Maths and Earth Science which I can take the exam willingly round up less. So I don't know what I can do. It's a difficult decision.

As you can see I haven't made my mind up.

What a weekend!


Hello everybody!

This month is full of parties because it is Carnival time. Last weekend I went to the Roses's carnival. Before going there I went to Berna's house with other friends and we had dinner together. We had supper at eleven o'clock and the dinner was prepared by Iñaki, Berna and me. We ate roast potatoes with grilled meat which were bought by Galí. After that we started to prepare ourselves, I mean, we dressed up of as Guti and at 2 o'clock in the morning we caught the but and went to Roses.
In the bus some og them sang... because they were a little bit drunk. Once there, it took us half an hour to find the place where the party was. We asked the people who met on the street where was the carnival but at that time all of them were paraletic and each of them said to us different things.
Well, finally when we found the marguee, we saw other people and friends and we spend a good time. Moreover I met Pablo, a friend who I hadn't seen for a year.
When we got fed up, we decided to return home by bus but the problem was that the bus was going one hour later so I looked for somebody who drive me to Castelló to Berna's house. I was lucky so I could get back. All these would be ended if the next day or on the same day, as you want, I wouldn't have had to go to work. I could sleep two hours.

Saturday when I finished work I went to Castelló again and we went to "El Chic". I was absolutley exhausted but I kept on.

Do you know what did I do on Sunday¿?

Guess what!!!

ORAl PREsENTAtION

Good afternoon!

This entry is dedicated to my second oral presentation. It talked about my research project. I think it wasn't prepared well enough because I was concentrated and worried about my chemestry exam. I have to add that this time I have had more difficulties because I had to prepared it alone, without Robin's help.

Anyway, from the 10% which the presentation represents, my mark woulb be a 9% because I was supported by a power point with images related with what I was talking about. Although I spoke for seven minutes I was in time and the oral presentation wasn't boring.
The part of the body language wasn't too good because sometimes I read the paper when I forgot some things. As far as the eye contact I must say I improved since last oral presentation, I looked most of the time at people and not only at Sonia.
As you know I did some gestures to try to attract the people's attention (5%).
Talking about the structure I could say it was good so I believe this part of the mark would be a 10% and the content would represents a 35%. I know it needs changes but at the moment I did the research project, I did the best I could.
Moreover I extended my vocabulary because I learnt a lot of new words like kidneys, liver... in general my language was better than the last oral but it is a part I must improve.
I used connectors, some fillers and a varied vocabulary. Here my mark would be a 17%
To end with it, my pronunciation was comprehensible but I pronounced some words badly. My voice wasn't monotonous and I spoke fluidly but with something missing. (7%)

Final mark: 83%

Early treatment hope for tinnitus (news)

Hello guys!

Today I am going to give to you my opinion about a scientific peace of news.

Nowadays the world is full of acoustic pollution and is normal that the people who live in it suffer auditive trouble, often grave.
Sometimes we are the only responsables for these problems because we turn on the music too loud or we use earphones too long. All these little things are which put in danger our health. Now a part from thhis, when we are born start to hear a lot of terrible sounds and slowly our ears get hurt.

On my own it is necessary for someone to come up with some treatment but more than anything else we have to reduce the volume because if we don't do it then the treatment won't be efficient.
The last option would be to forbid disco's, MP3...
We must be concious about what is tinnitus because if we had this illness we would have strong difficulties.

Do you know somebody who has some of these type of problems?

My resolutions

Well, we have entered 2010 and like every year I have made my mind up about changing some things.

The first one is to study more. The first term was so good but I'm sure I can better it in some subjects like English. What I want is to get enough mark to go into Barcelona's University. I could say this is my obsession and that it is the most worrying for me because if I couldn't get place there, I would have to go to Saragossa and it is very far... If it were for me I wouldn't leave my town, near your parents life is much easier.
Another resolution is to keep on my weight down or even lose a bit of it. You don't think I believe I'm fat but easily I put weight on and then I try to reduce it. I want to cut down because it isn't good to have too much weight because you can get stretch marks.
Two more would be: to win the lotery and be better person than last year.

What are your resolutions?
