FINAL REFLECTION

My English progress (2008-2010)

I think I have improved my English since 2008, well, I hope this jEJje

I'm going to compare an email with "the fair" which I consider my last composition.

In my first written document, an email to teacher, there isn't any structure. Moreover, you can see that I had a lower vocabulary level and I always wrote with the same verbs. Another clear difference is that now, I know how to use the majority of the verb tenses. Besides, I have learned some phrasal verbs, for example: bring down, cut back on, stand for, take care.. and I can use more connectors than the last year.

One year ago I had a nightmare because I couldn't write fast and I needed to much time to write a composition, but nowadays I think I have overcome it.

Talking about oral presentations, the first I did isn't bad but I talked about simple topics with more easy words, constructions than in the last oral. What has been good from the bigining is the structure used in power points. Maybe in the first oral I spoke in a fluid continum enough because I had been preparing the oral, but now I can mantain an improvising conversation without too many complications. The most difficult for me is the pronunciation. It has improved but not much.

MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE in 2010

If I have to choose an oral presentation, it would be the second oral of this year where I talked about my research project. I think it is the best of all 'cause I loves the topic, it reflexes all what I know. What makes it the best of the rest is that I used some phrasel verbs like pick up, hand up... connectors, and of curse, the quantity of technical words that I had to learn. Moreover I was looking at the public ( a difficult thing for me).

Well, isn't easy choose the best composition because I believe any of my writings are perfect. I would take some things of ones and other things of another ones. For instance: a good idiom is:

"If you put your mind to it you will do it!" which you can found it in "Tell me what is one of my favourite pets". "After Cosmetic Surgery, the 'Do Over'", a piece of news, I can say it is the best if I refer to the structure even on it hasn't the best content.

Therefore I don't know what to say to you...

ThanKs for all.

THE FAIR

This weekend has been wonderfull!

Yesterday I went to Figueres because is the Santa Creu's party. There, I met Marta Grau, Fran, Pablo... and we had a good time dancing, talking, drinking and riding on the attractions.

Firstly I changed my money, before going, into coins in case any fair workers took me in. So in that way when I had to pay I had the right money.
After that, I arrived there at half past eleven. Robin drove to the place.

Now I would like to talk about las night but I would have to tell you so many stupif things that I prefer not to bring down our reputation so I'll leave it as it is.

At the end of the night some of us stayed to sleep in Figueres at Adria's house, my cousin.
It was all brilliant but today,.... everyone has swollen eyes.

HEh

Tell me what is one of my favourite pets

A lot of animals are succesfull but one of those is my favourite.

I suppose some of you, will know which is is apart from the dog.

Well, for who doesn't know it, I'm going to give you some clues;

It lives is the jungle, normally surrounded by others of its specie. Sometimes the female doesn't accept her own daughters or suns and always there is one male who is the chief of the group. These animals are similar to us butone of the difference is that they are more hairy than humans.


Can you pick it up¿



I can imagine you get it, so now I'm going to tell you what I would like to do. One of my dreams has been visit monkeys and its place of residence, but at this time it isn't only a dream, it's more than this. Is spite of that, I couldn't study veterinary, I'll spend one month minimum in Africa or Costa Rica with monkeys learning how they live. If I'm realistic, is complicated full field it but I think that If I haven't got any plans for the future I might as well not be here.

Therefore I would be delighted to look after monkeys.



Do you have any expectation which you would like to do in the future?



If you put your mind to it you will do it!

A little bit of everything

If it was for me this composition would be very depressive. I'm not well with myself, I'm not happy with my life at the moment because things aren't going well. But I don't feel like talking about this, so I will only say to you what I'll do in the next few hours or in the next days.

Today after I finished my extra-classes I will meet Monica, Ari, Riki... and other friends to go to have dinner to celebrate Ari's birthday. I believe it'll be good because we haven't gone out together for a long time. Then, some of them are going to the concert in Castelló, where "Els Pets" are going to play tonight.

Well, my weekend is appearing very boring, I'll stay at home studying and studying, and nothing else. Consecuently I hope to get a reword like good marks.

Usually, when the weekend come I take my hand bag and I go to Robin's house but from now on it'll be different, I'll have a change. I'm going to stay at home so it looks bad.

(I have to think a plan which makes my life better.)

Are You SUpersTicioUs¿?

Yesterday while I was watching "El hormiguero" this topic came to my mind because Sergio Dalma broke a mirror and some people of the public got scared and they shouted at him: please don't do it! You can see where my inspiration comes from.

Some people think, break a mirror minds you'll have seven years of bad luck.

Do you believe it¿? And why?

Maybe it is true but I have never checked it. The thing is I don't think it could be true.

Other superstitions are:

- if you walk through under steeps wood it can fall dawn on you.

-if you open an umbrella inside a place you'll be unlucky...

In my point of view all these thoughts are stupid things and they pull my leg because people search their own future. Not always, people get what they deserve because you can go through a bad moment and things aren't as you would like them to be.

I would like you to say something about it so I would know your opinion.

Bye.

A MOnTH WiTHoUT liFe

When I started second of batxillerat I thought the first term would be the most difficult of the year owing to the Research Project but when it passed, my feelings changed.
Then, I believed that the worst was still to come, but now, is the time for not stopping, not sleeping, study very hard and do a lot of Philosophye summaries and others..., as well as not much free time to do anything.

Consequently, I'm planing my timetable, but nowadays I can't get used to all what I must do.
The best advice I can give myself is that I need to be relaxed and to be alert. It'll be difficult for me because I'm not constant, well, I always do my homework... but I need to have breaks so as not to get fed up with all that.

The only thing I hope is that my classmates will help to create a relaxed atmosphere to not ::::::::getting stressed.

Concretly I hope Marta doesn't remind me every day about the amount of work to do. Jejje

Xxx

Something useful!

TGIF everybody!

Today most of you are happy because you have a week's holiday but I am not, fortunatly because I think I'll be working everyday. So, I have thought in some way to do more work in a shorter time and as I won't have enough time to do all my homework, I have decided do a composition about philosophy to go through the lesson and at the same time, practice English.

Well, let's go..
I'm going to talk about hapiness which is a topic talked about by Schopenhauer, the Nietzche's teacher. Schopenhauer defense the irracionalism and he is a Romantic person. He was born on 1788 and he died on 1860. His philosophyc starting pount is that existence is absurd, only is used to fix the species on the Earth. He always thinks there are pain and suffering life and he tries to go on without religion and the consolation. His arguments to say that happiness is not possible are:
- Human are moved by wishes.
- It's impossible not to suffer because if we satisfay our wishes then we are bored so we are disatisfied.
- If I don't make real my wishes, because 'm generating more of them, agains and again, also I'm disatisfied.

Well, in my opinion this man is right, We can only smile because punctually we are good but generally we can't be happy.

Anyway, you can suppose this theme is more complicated and I daren't to go in depth with this topic because I haven't learned it yet.

Have a good holiday!

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!!!

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?

ONE OF THE WORST DAYS FOR A LONG TIME

Today has been a hard day for me because so many things have gone wrong.

First, at ten o'clock in the morning I have made an exam Earth Science. I am 90 per cent sure that I will fail because I was very nervous, so when I was reading I didn't understand anything.
Also I haven't got enough time to finish the test even though I worked during the break time.
When I went out form the class I had the feeling of anger because I studied a lot the previous day for nothing.
To finish it off straight away I had my English exam. It wasn't as bad as the other but I was fed up about tests and I didn't do very well.
At the end, nearly I creid because of the stress.

.... If you want you can write a comment explaining how your day has been.

OPINION ABOUT "THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY"

This book is the best that I have ever read at school. The others were so boring and this has been more interesting because a lot of things happen.

First what I am going to talk about is how Henry influences Dorian and which type of person he is. Later I will tell you my opinion about Dorian Gray by concluding the entry.

Henry is the man who influences Dorian's life and he teaches him the bad ways. Fot the people who have read the book it is clear that Henry only wants his confort and for him the other persons aren't important. What he is looking for is Dorian falling in love with him as Dorian is young, beautifut and handsome so it is interesting for him. Furthermore Dorian has a lot of money because of his parent. In addition, on the other hand the story without Henry wouldn't be the same.
What's more is Henry's life is based in the importance about beauty and youth, two topics. I would say that for me beauty isn't so important because there are other things like feelings which are more significative in life because to be a good person means that you have a lot of friend so you don't need to be beautiful. As far as the youth is concerned only I would say that is better to thing to yourself you are young because then you are happier and for the others you seem young.

Well, now it is the turn to talk about Dorian. He is the main character in the story because all happens around him. He killed a lot of people because he was afraid and crazy. Leaving apart this, he is easily led by others so the only worry for him is to keep young for ever. Phsicologicaly he is wrong but with the money he has, he can do what he wants. Here appears another topic; the rich people.
I think sometimes this kind of people haven't got sentiments and often they are selfish.

To sum up I would say that this is a good book and I recomend it to the people who hasn't read it yet.

DRIVING LICENCE

First of all I have to say I haven't got it.
Do you have it???

On 19th of February I will be eighteen so I will have the age which will allow me to drive a car. At that moment I am not worried about it because I have too much to do, like my research project, exams and besides the homework.

Shurely, I am sure I won't be able to take the driving exam until next summer because of all the school work. Meantwhile, I will be happy with the practises which I am doing with my father around my home where there is some empty ground. These practises help me to learn and furthermore when I go for the exam I won't have to spend too much money because with a bit of luck I will know how to drive.


AH! I FORGOT IT! THE CAR THAT APPEAR ON MY PICTURE IS MADE BY MY FATHER.

Good afternoon guys!

In this write up I'll talk about a serial which it's very interesting for me. It's on TV at 10 o'clock every Monday. I can recommend it to you because it represents every day life and common situations.

The programme started by showing a family's life. The family is composed by a teenager, a girl of twelve and her mum. The problem began when the mum died on a road accident. From then on the teenager called Mel had to start work to keep her sister Julia. Mel had a friend, Africa, and she helped her to be able to survive. After a few days the social worker went to visit the girls and she told them they would have to be looked after by some tutor because they couldn't be alone as they were under aged.
In the end, they thought that their tutor could be their uncle, the only person who was near to the girls and who they knew. The uncle didn't want to have the girls because the girls's mum and him hadn't spoken to each other for a long time.

The time went on and Mel started to work as a Model, like her friend. Her sister often didn't go to school and became involved with bad people like alcoholics...
She made a friend, a woman who liked drinking.
All was good, Mel felt in love with her photographer but he was forty and she was sixteen. Then the photographer didn't accept the relation ship because of the difference of age. He went to bed with an ex-model and Mel with her friend, a boy who was completly crazy about her.

More things happened, more problems until now, that the situation of the story is:
Africa has anorexia and her parents are separated.
Mel and the photographer are together.
The ex-model is trying to interfere in the photographer's life and Julia wants to see the alcoholic and her daughter together.
Finally the photographer's daughter after being depressed because she had changed cities and nobody didn't want to have anything to do with her, then she began to learn to make-up models.


Ok, this is the summary of this serial and I hope you'll start to watch it.

CU on Tuesday!
