MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE IN 2013

I have choosen my best written evidence and I think that both are from these year. I have choosen two of them because I think that both are quite good and I have written them carefully. The fisrt one is about how was my trip to Thailand. I think that it's good because I use some connectors and I explained myself well.

The second one is about waht I'm going to do this summer and how my life is going to change. In my opinion it 's also good because I writted it two or three days ago so it means at the end of course and it's clear that I have improved.

I would choose both to send them because I don't mind they are quite well written.

If I had to choose one of my best oral evidence, I would choose the final one about my TDR. I think that I speak fluency and everybody understand me so that's the one I would send. 
I can't show you the video because it has a big weight.

MY ENGLISH PROGRESS FROM 2011 TO 2013

Looking back my first writting that I post to my blog was last year when I satrted 1st batxillerat. I think that it was quite good, the grammar was correct and I use words correctly. I have improved since the fisrt composition. I have learnt to use connectors ans some phrasal verbs which I didn't use before.

I think that the main difference beetween the first composition and the last one is that I have learnt to use some phrasal verbs and connectors and also I have learnt to writte better.

The stucture of the fisrt composition wasn't very clear because I didn't separete it clearly, but now I separate every writting in three or four paragraphs. That's importang because if you writte like that it's easily to understand it better.

Relating to oral presentations I also have improved because I have seen my first oral presentation again and I was a bit nervous because I repeated thousand times: "aaah". My pronunciation has also improved because in the video I pronunciated some words wrong. Even if I was talking in front of my friends I was very nervous.

Now It has changed a little. I saw again my TDR presentation and I also was nervous but I think that I did it quite well. I speak fluency and I didn't pronounce any word wrong. Maybe the only think that I did wrong was speak quickly but I think that I would improve it, and lose the shame.

MOBILES TO OUTNUMBER PEOPLE NEXT YEAR

It is said that next year there will be more mobile phones than people in the earth. 

I think that it will happen because now everybody has his phone even children has phones. 

A few years before boys and girls of 12 or 13 years old haven't money and computers so they spent much time playing in the street but now all is digitalize and I think that it's a shame because now children don't do anything else to stay in front of the computer and going to facebook, tweeter and other spaces.

DRUG FIRM JOINS FORCES WITH CHARITY

In Africa there are many charities. One of them has join forces with drugs for maintain their children. 

They think that that's the only way for having enough money for everything. Before they didn't have enough food, medicines or gel to wash injuries and prevent infections.

It is a shame to know things like that. Here people is worried about nonsense and there they are worried because they don't have money for buying food, medicines, vaccines etc. 

VOCABULARY

FLU IN PREGNANCY MAY RAISE BIPOLAR RISK FOR BABY

It is said that if you catch a flu during you are pregnant you have more probabilities to have a baby bipolar. 

Experts say that mothers wouldn't have to be worried about that because if it's tru they will invent a vaccine for prevent that.

They look for different information and they draw that conclusion.

I don't think that it's true because I know people who cathed a flu during their pregnancy and now their children aren't bipolar.

In my opinion people who are bipolar is because of their family environment. 

VOCABULARY

• lead
• manic
• womb
• foetal

MY FUTURE HOLIDAYS

In my future holidays I want go to Cabo Verde in Africa. I really like Cabo Verde because it's a small country and it seems that people are very kind with everybody. It is also very beautiful. It is near the beach.

Every week I see an spanish programme called "Callejeros Viajeros" and each programm they show you a different place to go and they explein you a lot of things about their culture, society etc to know more about it. 

One day I saw that it was Cabo Verde and I really enjoy it and I thing that I don't know much about this country but I love it. It looks like everything was perfect there, living near the beach, having a good relation ship with your neighbors...

They don't need a big amount of money for living. Life there is cheaper. I also think that I love this country like Thailand or Kenia because people who live there are happy with almost anything and that's a thing that we would have to learn. 

SANT GEORGE'S DAY

Sant George's day is celebrated on the 23rd of April in Catalonia. It's the day of love which couples show their love each other. It has been celebrated since the fifteenth century. Men give a red rose to their partner and women give a book.

Why do they do that?

The legend says that there once was a small village which was invaded for a dragon which spitted fire. Everyone on the village was afraid. The dragon decided that he wanted to eat animals so he started. After a few days there weren't any animals and he started to eat people. People had to choose which person was going to die and one day they choose that the king's daughter. The king didn't do anythin for avoid it. When the young girl was in front of the dragon, a young and handsom man appeared. He saved her and kill the dragon and from his blood rose rised. 

And that's why people gives roses and books that explain the legend.
