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

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.
