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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
