INTERNET EMPOWERS PEOPLE TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD

Since internet exist, people have improve our world a lot. Internet has been a step foward in our lives. Internet empowers people to make a better world because in that way everybody is informing about all things that happen in the world and have access to all information.

Firstly I think that internet is good because it has helped a lot of scientists to investigate in many areas to improve our lives. I think that it is very important because if internet wouldn't exist our world would fall behind. Without internet everything would be worse in my point of view.

I also believe that in the future internet will be more important because it will improve tecnologies and all this will make internet control our lives.

My conclusion is that internet will be one of the most important things in our lives, but is it a good or a bad thing?

Half a century ago the Rolling Stones become popular. It is a music band very important in England. They were like the anti-Beatles. Since they became popular they had sold 2 million albums. They have been singing in many countries. 

Now their voices are out of tune if you compare it with when they were young.

They're the most iconic English band.

The exposure of the fetus to alcohol affects the brain structure of fetuses

The exposure of the fetus to alcohol affects the brain structure of fetuses and can cause problems in their development. Experts have studied it and they had draw this conclusion. It isn't common because only few crazy drink during those nine months.

Drinking while your pregnant it's dangerous for the child and also for the mother. The child could born with no hands or mental deficiencies. 

Some doctors wanted to do this study and they did it with some women who were pregnant and also had drank alcohol. In the case of children exposed to alcohol, the corpus callosum were significantly thinner than the rest.

MALE VIOLENCE

The death toll of women in Catalonia has rise a lot. In the first 6 months there were the same deaths as last year. In Catalonia every year men kill women. It's worrying because only few women reported the men who was abusing of her. 

Nowadays police do talks to young people informating them about this topic. They tell them if they're in this situation that they have to reported. 

For fight against this in Catalonia the red cross has created a campaign.

I think that it has always be there and wherever you go you'll se this. Some people don't think about what they're doing. Thta's a shame because if there weren't people like the world would probably better.

"IDEAL WEIGTH" Ballooning With American Waistlines

Since 1990 American people have dropped weight. Their eating habits are changing because now they are more healthy. The 60% of adults in America say that thei weith is about right. The 36% of those adults are obese. This is very dangerous because overwight can cause heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. People from there are very concerned because it's not good.

The average ideal weight for men was 185 pounds in 1990 but it wasn't. The avarage was 196 ponds. The average ideal weight for women was 140 pounds and also it wasn't because it was 156. That means that in America there are a lot of people who is overweitgh and it have always been so.

The 65% of people polled said that they were over weitgh, only 56% said that would like to lose weitgh and only 24% were seriously trying to lose weitgh.

This article summarize the situation of America it's worrying because if people continue with this habits it would be a disgrace.

HALLOWEEN

Halloween is on the 31st of October. In England is very popular because all of them celebrate it. Children gget dressed and go to the houses asking for candy. Everyone is happy becase they get out of their home and they go with friends asking for candy and spending a good time. 

There are symbols associated with Halloween like pumpings, bats and witches. It includes themes of death, evil and monsters. Some children are scared of that and they don't celebrate it but most of them do it.

When children ask for candy they say "Trick or treating?" That means that you have the possibility of giving them candy or not doing it but then maybe they'll trow eggs at your door or something like that.

Here in Catalonia the 31st of October is known by the name of "Tots sants" because is a remembering of all family or friends that have died. Some children like to celebrate Halloween so it is becoming more popular. Children like it because they get dressed and they walk around the village asking for sweets. Here people in those days they do "panallets" it's like a biscuit which is sweet. Is a tradition to doing it.

English people celebrate every year Halloween because it's important for them and now it's becoming more popular and interesting here. I used to celebrate it when I was a child with my friends but now I don't do it.

THAILAND

This december I'm going to Thailand on holidays. I'm very happy because I never had been there. I'm going on the 28th with my boyfriend and his family.

Last summer my boyfriend's famyli and I were talking about Thailand because we think that's a wonderful place and we thought that it would be great to go on holidays in Thailand because it's very different from here. There people it's more poor and they're always smiling because they're so kind. Bangkok is the capital. It's like New York I think. We're going to spend four days in Bangkok, three days in Kanchanaburi, two days in Chumpon and finally in Krabi we don't know how many days we're going to spend there because maybe we'll go to another place. We're going for two weeks.

Here it would be very cold but ther very hot. I think that the most heavy thing for me would be the flying because from Barcelona to Bangkok there are thirteen hours and I have never been in a plane more than five hours. Instead of that I think that I would be great and I will spend a good time with them.

I like Thailand because you can't say that it's poor or rich because in Bangkok there are places which you see poor people but maybe opposite the street there is a very rich building.

I think that I would like it a lot and I would see things that I have never seen before. I like Thailand and after visiting it I'm sure that I would like it more.

RESEARCH PROJECT

This year I'm doing second batxillerat. It's harder than the provoius years because you have to work a lot.

It means that every day you have to spend minimum 2.30 hours working, doing homework and studying. Apart from that you also have to do the research project.

My research project is about English people who live in Castelló d'Empúries and Empuriabrava. I think that it's different from the others and it's interesting. In this project I have to look for English people from those villages and do interviews and after doing that draw my conclusions. I haven't theory so I think that for that reason is more a research project, I have to look for people, do the intervews, talk with them in English and then explain what they had told me. It's a little bite difficult because for doing that you have to spend a lot of hours. It isn't easy to look for people who want to help you. 

Last summer I work so I couldn't do so much. I think that doing the research project is a little bite annoying because you only ha to do it in Catalonina and in my opinion is unfair.

Why we have to do this? I don't know it. Well in my case I improved my pronunciation and I talked with more fluency so it was great.

In my opinion research project is very stress and they would have to do it in 1st batxillerat. In second batxillerat you're very busy because in that year you have to do the selectivitat and that's no easy if you fall the final exams you can stay one more year in the high school.

SELF-AVALUATION

My oral presentation was about make up and facial surgeries. I did my presentation with Fato and Joana. In general I think that we did it quite well. I was a little bite nervous but in this presentation I think I was more calmly than the others. I think because I like a lot this topic and I knew more things about it. We used powerpoints and we put some funny music for catch the attention of our friends. We thougth that make up would be more interesting so we focused in it and at the finally of the presentation we bring some make up that we had mentioned. It was great because we explain different types of make up and then we show it. I think that I did it quite well because in generally doing oral presentations I'm a shy person but that day I wasn't.

We tried to use new vocabulary and easy to understand. Maybe when I was talking I should look more at the others and move my body because I was a little bite quiet. 

In general I was a little bite nervous but I did it well and I try to explain it well for my friends. I like the topic a lot.

Make up from Homa Baldeh

MY DREAM

I’m Homa and I’m 16 years old. In December I’ll be 17 and I’m not sure about my dream yet. I want to study English philology. I really like languages and I want to study English, German and Italian. I want to study English because I’ve been studying it since I was 6 years old and I think that it’s quite attractive. I like German too because I’ve got German friends and they always speak together and I don’t understand nothing. My boyfriend is also German and maybe next year we’ll go to Germany to visit the country. I think that English people but especially German people are very closed they’ve their clubs, festivals and other things.

Italian is also a language that I think that is very attractive, the accent is very different from the others. When we went to Italy, we visited a lot of things and people were very kind with us. I really like this country.

So my dream is to be a person who can speak at least these three languages perfectly and being a teacher and working with children in a school. I really want to be this and also have a family, my house…

Summering, my dream is to be a woman with education, a job and a family life.

DIALOGE

listen to ‘dialoge Gianluca, Homa and Tiziana’ on Audioboo



T- Hey you're 20minutes late!
G- Calm down it was the fucking bus!
H- Hello sweetheart!
T- Where do you come from?
G- I was cleaning the park. Do you thing it's normal to find condoms on the floor? They aren't biodegradable!
H- I come from the beautician, I just removed my body hair with laser.
G- Oh God, are you still doing it?
H- Yes of course, I'm not like you who has a forest under your arm beat.
T- Girls don't start it. I mean it.
G- Before wasting my money I prefer to giving it to associations of poverty.
H- Tiziana there's a new product which makes you younger and makes perfect your face because you're starting to have wrinkles.
T- Really? I presume that it is very expensive. Eugenia how did it go last Friday in your meeting about frogs in Africa?

T- Girls we decided to meet to relax and you're discussing about silly things! Just stop it don't be killjoys.

WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HUMOR

I think that this sentence isn’t true maybe for somebody is possible but most of people in the world are always smiling, telling jokes…For me it’s impossible to live without humor. Humor isn't only smiling or laughing is also getting angry, cry etc. Everybody in the world has laugh, cried and got angry.

A part of that when we watch television there are a lot of programs about humor. They make you laugh, cry… Your father laughs at least 15 times a day and a child could laugh 400 times a day it’s incredible, that is one reason because I don’t think we can life without humor. If you never laugh you never be happy. Laughing is one way to tell everyone that your happy.

There are a lot of people who knows a lot of jokes and for some of them telling jokes is their life style and it’s a way of getting money. For me jokers are important because if you are sad or tired and they start telling jokes your humor changes immediately and you start laughing.

FINAL EVALUATION

This is one of my last writings this year. I want to do a little evaluation of my english year and my marks etc. In my final evaluation I have a lot of things to say because I think that I have improved a little bit because now I am better at  writing. Although we have done three presentations I have not lost my fear of doing it and my pronunciation has not improved a lot. But one important thing is that I have more fluency speaking and writting and I think that it is important because if I meet  some english people I can speak well with them without any translator. My problem is that I get nervous when I am speaking. This is one of my bad points.

The activity that I think that shows my level of enlish is my your-says, because I have written them without any help and I think that it is great. Last year I didn't have this fluency speaking but now I think that is one of the easiest things in this subject, writing. A part from that, writing these your-says has been very useful to improve my vocabulary. I have learned a lot of words and expresions. 

Rebecca has been great for learning time expressions and a lot of vocabulary, because she is english and she knows a lot of synonyms etc. And that was great because in this way we have not repeated the same word thousands of times in our writings.

The activity that I think that hasn't been useful for me is maybe listening, but I am not saying that it hasn't been useful for me, only a little bit.

I really enjoy talking with Rebecca because in our lifedays we can't do it. We laughted a lot and abobe all we learned. I enjoy a lot doing podcasts too.

THE BOY IN THE STRIPE PYJAMAS

I have read this book last term and I really enjoy it and remoend it because for me it was very interesting. I like the story because it represent the life of one rich child and one poor jewish child and their opposite worlds. The jewish child has been sentenced to death by germans and that means that Bruno, who's parents are germans, is his enemie but they don't see it like this.

Bruno every day talks with his new friend but at the final the die together because germans confuse Bruno with a jewish child, because he was wearing a stripe pyjama that identifies jewish. Bruno's parents don't know where Bruno is and they are very enhappy and sad and finally his mother returns to Berlin but his father wait him for if someday he could return.

It has been one of my favourites books for the history. I recomend it to everybody, I'm sure that you will enjoy it.

MY PODCAST

listen to ‘dialogue with fato and homa’ on Audioboo

MY SELF-EVALUATION

In my opinion my presentetion was very good, because we have the powerpoint and a lot of images for explain everything. We also spend more than 5 minutes talking and that's important.

I was looking most of time looking at my friends and I didn't read more, but at the end I get nervous and I read more than normally and that's bad. I usually read something, like clue words. I didn't move a lot and that maybe was wrong because maybe they weren't looking or paying attention.

I organized most of the things that I said in order. I also used connectors. I think that there were sentences like woman who have children born in poverty may not be able to feed them, or headaches, ear infections, flu and colds may restrict a child from the focus of concentration, are rich both gramatically and vocabulary.

We seek information from the internet and then we write more or less the same but with our words. We found all the information on the internet.

The powerpoint was great but maybe we use some dark colors and we had to use normal color. I use some synonyms and one phrasel verb. I tried to have a good pronunciation and I checked the pronunciation with fato on the Intenet.

My bad point is that I got nervous and then I started reading more than usually, but appart of that I think that I did it well. Everyone can get nervous someday.

MY POWERPOINT

POVERTY

THE UNIVERSITY

Students who will finish Batxillerat this course, people older that 25 and 45 years and people who are older that 40 years  with laboral experience or professional accredited, they must to pay 80€ for registration to participate in entrance examinations to public universities in Madrid. 

The price for registration in the general test, is 80€ plus 10€ for each subject of the specific phase, while students engaged will only pay 40€ this phase, plus 10€ for each subject of an examination. In my opinion, I think that it isn'tgood idea because they are priving us for studying without paying and this is going to affect me because next year and I think that it is unfair.

ABANDONED ANIMALS

Each day the number of abandoned dogs in the street this augmentando, this happens because the Pobresa has augmentado and people is not able to feed the animals. If the crisis continues in a few years hundreds of animals will be in the streets, this scares the kennels because they are the losers. The country with the highest number of abandoned dogs is Xina

REDUCING ALCOHOL TO HALF A UNIT A DAY SAVES LIVES

Today 31st of May I have read an article that says that if people reduce alcohol there wouldn't be so may deaths. I think that it is interesting because it would be helpful if people reduce it. Alcohol is dangerous for many reasons but especialluy for diseases like coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, epilepsy and five cancers.

Students from Oxford Universyty has studied and done questions to 15.000 adults and they have checked that if people reduce alcohol they might live longer.

WE HAVE ALMOST LEARNT TO RESPECT OUR WORLD

Some people think that we don't have to take care of the world but they are wrong beacuse if we don't take care of it who is going to do it? We have to learn a lot of things in order to be able to respect our world.

Nowadays people who recycle are more aware than people who don't do it. They don't respect anything because they think that they are not polluting but it is not true because every day thousands of kilos opf rests of food and other things are polluting our world.

Our factories are polluting a lot and they are not respecting any rule. If they don't stop in 50 or 60 years we may not be able to stay at the park or outdoors.

The temperature is increasing every day because the hole in the Ozone layer is getting bigger and bigger, so the sunlight falls directly into the earth and that is dangerous.

My conclusion is that we have to take care of our world because if not our children may not have trees, flowers and fresh air for breathing.

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO THIS SUMMER

This summer I'm going to work in Sant Pere. It is my first time and I am nervous. I am nervous because this summer I have to do do other things too and maybe at the same time.

Last Sunday I was talking with my new boss and he told me that it will be hard and I have to be prepare for it.

On the 8th of Setember Marina, Joana, Alicia and I are going to sing in a weeding and I am going to play the piano too. The song is "I will always love you" by Whitney houston. I think that it will be great because people will talk about us and that will be helpful.

I think that I will be very stress this summer because instead of working I have to do my research and that's no easy. It will be hard, I know, but I have to do it.

I want to go at the beach with my friends and spending some of my free time enjoying the time with them.

A TERRIBLE HISTORY

When I was 7 or 8 years old my friend Judit and I walked past the old house that was near Capraboo (Figueres) on our way home from school. Our friends told us that it was hunted, but we didn't belive it. One day, we were feeling more adventurous than usual and we decided to go to that house. It was one of the biggest mistakes in our lifes, because we were frigtened. Our parents didn't allow us to go near the house but we told them that we were going to play at the park. We walk quickly to the house. We were a little bit frightenedand we decided not to go into and look at the outside first. We planned that we were going to walk throw the house and explore it and then run away. We get into it and it was dark and dirty. After 15min walking, we start crying and shouting because we were hearing noises. Finally we ran at Judit's house and get calm. Nobody knows that we have been there, it is our secret.

MY FAVOURITE COUNTRY

Since I was little my favourite country has been Norway. I didn't know anything about Norway but little by little I have learnt new things about it.

I think that it bcame my favourite country because my parents have friends from Norway. We were like a family, we were always together. They have three boys and one of them is the same age as me.

His mother's name is Romana. One yar Romana's sister came here and she told me some things about Norway. I would like to go some day. It is realy cold and it is always raining there. This is the bad part of the country.

The capital of Norway is also the most expensive city in Europe. I think that in 4 or 5 years I will have been there but only for visiting it, not for living.

I know many people who have been there and they have said to me that it is wonderful because it is always snowing.

And that's the reason to say that Norway is my favourite country.

SANT GEORGE

Sant George is on the 23rd of April. On that day guys hace to give a rose to the girls and girls have to give a book to guys. This is a tradition that has been celebrated a lot of years. It has its own legend.

The legend says that there was a dragon that had kidnapped the princess of a town. It was eating all the people because it was hungry. There was a knight who was called George. When de knight wanted to rescue the princess the dragon didn't want and started to fight. They were fighting hardly and finally George won and dragon's blood became a rose.

This is why Saint George is so important to give a rose, that symbolizes the dragon's blood, and a book, that refers the legend.

Saint George is next week and I don't know if I'm going to celebrate it yet.

             

MY ENGLISH EXAM

Today, 20th of April, my English teacher has given me my exam. I have failed, it's the first time in this year that I have failed and I am angry with myself because I think that if I had studied more I could have passed.

Now I have learned that I have to start preparing the exam a few days before.

I think that the worst thing that could happen to me is failing my English exams or the subject because I want to be an English teacher or something like that. Now I should have a very good pronunciation but it is a little bit diffucult for me because I don't speak much and I don't have any English friends to speak to. For those reasons I want to travel to England or Canada to learn more.

Now I have decided that I am not going to fail any more exams because I will start studying some days before.

12th MARCH

This Monday I had an accident with Joana, Sonia and Sonia's father. Like every day we were going by car to Castelló d'Empúries. Sonia's father was driving and that day he was driving very fast and he lost control of the car and we crashed twice into the ditch and finally we fell down into the stream.

I got very nervous and I was frightened because the car was sinking. Joana was next to me but because the car was overturning she was on top. nShe copuldn't open thre door. We were all screaming and people outside the car stopped to help us. They took us from de car very quickly, but Sonia's father stayed in a little bit more. 

My mum came quickly because I phoned her when I still was in the car.

There were two police cars, one firefighter and two ambulances.

It was a real nightmare.

DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE

ARGENTINA

The train accident in Argentina has killed 51 passangers and injured more than 700 people. The driver said that the train was traveling normally when it slammed into a bumper and platform, plowing into dozens of people waiting to board, and killing another number of passangers inside the cars. It has been one of the worst accidents in Argentina.

COSTA ALLEGRA

Two weeks ago Costa Allegra had an accident. The boat sank with a lot of people in it. Fortunately only few of all the tripulation died. The captain escaped with his girlfriend, living hundreds of crew on the boat. Nobody thought that this could happen. The captain has been arrested for 5 years minimum. Some of the crew has recovered some of their belongings.

When it happened the captain wasn't there. He was having having dinner with his girlfriend, so he has the blame. Have dinner with his girlfriend when he shouldn't now is going to cost him a few years in a prision.

A FAIL DURING AN OPERATION, BURNS A PATIENT

A fail of the doctor during the operation of a patient caused that. It was a flammable liquid which they merged with another one, and then these began to burn. Much part of the pacient's body is burned because of the liquid. The hospital is very sorry for this unfortunated accident.

It happened in Scarborought's hospital (Britain). The patient has been moved to an other hospital. This is very serious. He had luck because if the fire started next to the airways he would be dead.

UNIVERSITY

Last Friday we went to the University of Girona. We went to 2 talks. One was about english studies and the other one about medicine. I went to the english talk alone and then Fato acompanied me to the medicine talk. As all you know, me dream is to be an english teacher someday. I like the talk a lot, because the teachers were funny and they tried to made us laught. My friends and I would like to go study in Barcelona because we think that it's an important city where you can find work easily.

CARNIVAL

Castello's carnival was on the 25th of february. I got up at eight o'clock and went to Vilamalla to watch a football match. When ut finished I went for a walk in Figueres until half past twelve. Then I went to my boyfriend's house and had lunch there. After that I met Marina, Fato and Eva in Empuriabrava. I went to another football match, but now with them. Our friends from Castelló were playing against Vilamalla's team. At the end of the match they lose 0-1.

When our friends finished, they came to talk abou our carnival's night. We were going to had dinner at half past nine, but Marina, Joana and I couldn't because we had piano's concert at nine o'clock in l'Escala.

When we arrived to l'escala at nine o'clock, we asked to our music's teacher if we could be the first ones and she said yes. So we played our songs and went quickly to Castelló. When we arrived they just started to had dinner. We had dinner together and then went to the party. There were many people dressed. We dressed of mechanics. It was very good. There I met some of my school friends. I spend much time with them. We enjoyed a lot, laughed, sang and danced. It was one of my favourites carnivals in Castelló.

VALENTINE'S DAY

The 14th of February is an special day for some pairs of lovers, because on that day they celebrate thta they love each other. There are lot of people who thinks that St.Valentine was a priest who exercised to the third century in Rome.

This year it was on tuesday, but I celebrated it on friday because my boyfriend wasn't here until friday. I bought some things and then made some biscuits. People usually gave a letter and somnething that they have made manually. This is the first time that I calebrated it, an of course I would like to celebrate it next year with the same person.

I know some people who don't like that they because they thing that it is one more day, like other. They thing that it is not necessary to has an special day to demonstrate to your pair that you love him or her.

In my opinion that's a good day for lovers, and for spend all day wtih him or her.

FIRST ESO'S ENGLISH TEACHER

I'm going to explain my little experience like a first eso's english teacher. Our first presentetion was on monday morning. We did three of the four presentations on monday and the last one on wednesday. We were nervous but then we got calm. When we began the presentation everybody was calm and quiet. The students were looking us and that was a strange sensation. I liked it because that was my first time that I felt like an english teacher. I would like to do it more often because I will improve my pronunciation. I liked it a lot, and of course I would like to do it again if I can, because my dream is be an english teacher an in this way I thing that some day I will be.

MY ORAL PRESENTATION

AUSTRALIA

View more PowerPoint from Homa Baldeh

Last week we had to do an oral presentation about a country. I did with Fato. First of all we chose Prague but then we changed it because we didn't find a lot of information. Finally we choose Australia. We had some little problems, because we decided to change the country, the they before the presentation, so we were a little bit stress.

On friday we did the oral presentation. At the beginning we were nervous but then we got calm. At the end of the presentation Lourdes, our english teacher, asked to us if we would be able to do the same oral presentation but now for first eso A, B, C and D and of course we say yes, because for us it is a way for improve our pronunciation and little by little lose our nervous.

We enjoyed a lot doing this presentation because we learned about the typical australian food, the culture, the aborigines etc.

I would like to do the same but now with second eso and alone, because I think that it will be better for me.

MUSIC

Music is very important for me. It's a way for desconnect. When I catch my headphones and I put it on my head and start listening to music, it's fantastic. Every day I listen to music 1 hour minimum. I think that music is something that defines each person, because there are many kinds of style music.

When I was a child, my dream was to be a famous singer. I was singing all day. I still do it. When I was 12 I started to playing the piano so I have been playind this instrument for 5 years. I chose the piano because my dream was also be a pianist. Now I understand that it isn't easy, because it means that every day you have to practise 1.30h minimum.

I'm not a person who only likes one kind or style of music. I like all of them exept rap. Two of my favourites singers are Beyonce and Rihanna. In my opinion they have a special voy that nobody has. I have played and sang some of their songs this year.

In my opinion music is one of the best things that everybody can have. I love music.

SELF AVALUATION:

In my opinion Fatu and I did a good presentation. We were a little bit nervous but then we get calm because we known everyone of the class. We did a good estructure of the powerpoint and we didn't read a lot. We spoke calm and did breaks.

First of all I thought that we won't arrive at 5min talking, but we arrived at 8min.I was very concentrate and I enjoyed a lot, speaking and explaining somethings to my friends. Most of the time, I tried to look at the audince but I think that at the end I look only some of them. I pronunciate most of the words correctly. Our vocabulary and grammar was correct in my poinion beacuse we tried to don't repeat some words and that's good.

I have improved since last term and I think that if I continue doing oral presentations I will have a very good pronunciation, fluency and spontaneity.

MY FRIEND

Fato has been my friend since 2005. She is a young girl, the same age like me. Fato is tall and thin and she has big, brown eyes. She has short, curly hair and she is very beautiful.

Fato is an important person to me, because when I have a problem she is always nice to me and helps me. This is one of the best things about her. She also has a negative characteristic. She is sometimes moody and that's annoying for me. She is so sensitive.

She is very funny, extroverted and also a bit crazy. When she sees that I'm not well she tries to make me laugh and I do the same with her. When we're together we spend so much time talking and laughing. She likes sports like me and sometimes we go running together. She is always smiling, kissing ans hugging everyone. People like her because she has a good heart.

In my opinion Fato is my best friend because she is always there and because I like her good and bad things. I would never want to lose her friendship.

Dear Mrs Lluïsa Pintó,

In this letter I want to express myself and give my opinion about this high school.

I have been here 5 years, so I think that my opinion can favour us to improve somethings. First of all I am going to tell you bad things of this high school.

I think that it has to be more colorful, because it is a bit dull. The only colours are grey, black, white and green. I think that all the classes should be like the language classroom. If all of them were painted, students would be more concentrate. This is the most important bad thing that the high school has. But it also has good things like that is bigger than others. One of the most beautiful things that it has are the courdyarts, because at the morning there is a lot of sun light. Most of the teachers that work there are very good and thay see us like their little children.

It has bad things but it also has good things. I like it because now it is like my home because I spend hours and hours in it.
