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.

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.
