Writting selectivtat.

Hi, John
Long time since I wrote you, but when I read a book your face just came out to my mind. So I decided to write to you,
Two days ago I bought a book called death of a Beekeeper by a famous swedisth author, Lars Gustafson.
The plot amused me, I don't want to explain to you the end, but it's about one of the last beekeepers of Sweden. This man is a traditonal beekeeper, he does the same as his father and grandfather, in the same way. Isn't that exciting?
Now, you know why this book reminded me of you...
I hope you make up your mind and read it, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

RANA GUSTAVO

P.D; This old man works like you, traditionally, like two hundred years ago.

Prenup Arrangements are a good solution to divorce conflicts

Now a days, prenup arrangements are one of the most popular stuf to do before getting married. That's because now most people have been married and divorced more than two times, in USA of course.
On the one hand, we can see that prenup arrangements can break a couple before getting married. Moreover, romantic and christian people think that these agreements are ways to kill what it seems to be love.
On the other hand, these arrangements help people keep what's theirs. Besides, currently there are profesional people that live by getting married with wealthy people and steal half his fortune. Tis agreements are perfect for people that don't believe in true love.
To summarize, the best way to get married is with prenuptial agreements, if you have got something to lose, of course. So, whether tou believe in love or not, the prenup arrangements are o good way to keep what's yours in these strange days.

United Nations Human rights committee

United
Nations Human Rights Committee,
It's known that humans rights should be respected in the entire world. However, nowadays mosts countries don't respect the rights.
So, I'm just writing this letters for two main reasons, to ask for a reflection and to make a suggestion. First of all the reflection, do you really think, as an UN committee that your work does any profit and moreover I'm asking for what you have done on countries that are really known such as Xina ?

Secondly, my suggestion, just delete this committee. Human rights are a good idea, but they are an utopia and the organization is just a machine that spends money like a bag with a hole inside.

To sum up, I'd like to say that life is not a dream. I'm wandering to see the world getting up and
looking around, they will see that the reality is neither a bed of roses nor such a wonder of God then I think and I hope that mankind will have chance to survive

Human rights

0. Quiz: do you know your rights? : what's your score?
I got 37 of 41

1. What are human rights?
Rights that all people on the earth should have because of just his existance.

2. Why were they created?
After the second World War, in 1948.

3. How many human rights are there?
There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected

I'm not familiar with this article:
Article 17.
(1) Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.

Because in my opinion this right in Spain is ovious and can't be cheated.

Dreams

My dreams

When I was young I used to have a dream. I wanted to be a firefighter but I grew up and my mind changed, then I decided to be a physician.

First of all I wanted to study physics in the University of Harvard. I got this dream until I reached my last school of high school, that year I went to Canada to improve my English. When I went there, they said a thing that stunned me, to study at an American University if you are foreign you need to get an 80/120 in the TOEFL exams, and to study at Harvard you must get more than 105/120.

Then I decided to change my dream, because it’s so hard to pass TOEFL, harder with a good mark.

I decided to study physics, but in Barcelona.

I’m in last year of non-obligatory high school so next year I’ll go at university. That’s why actually I need new dreams to think about.

Well, I have one, that will happens when I’ll elderly I want a rural house on the top of a mountain, alone in Alaska.

Joke

Oral presentation

Well because of problems uploading videos in blogger I link this webside : http://vimeo.com/32392389

Self Evaluation:

First of all I'd like to say that I hate to evaluate myself.

I think I was very nervous while the presentation, as in the others oral presentations my hands were shaking and that produced more nervous.

In my point of view I did it quite well and I hope teacher give me a good mark

The description of Lionel Messi

Leo Messi is a 23-year-old football player; he's the best football player ever,

He was born in Rosario, Argentina in 1987. He started to play football at the

age of five.

He's 1.69 meters tall, he's thin and small because when he was young he had

an illness and he couldn't grow like other children, but he's very fast

(faster than other players).

Messi is a competitive person who likes to win all the trophies but he is very

modest too, he isn't like other players who only want to score. He's a

hard-working person who trained a lot when he was young, but of course he

has a natural talent too. He's mentally and emotionally strong because he has

to withstand high pressure

The other Barcelona's football players say that he's an ordinary man who

likes to laugh and play games.

Oral Presentation

Hello I’m Pere and I’m going to talk about Canada.
Canada is a country situated on the north of America between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, at the nord it has Polar circle and at the south it has EUA

European browsers arrived on 1497, when Italian seafarer Giovanni Caboto explored Canada's Atlantic coast for England. Between 1498 and 1521, Basque and Portuguese mariners established seasonal whaling and fishing outposts. French explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived in 1603 and established the first permanent European settlements at Port Royal . Years after started wars to control de north of Canada
The English established fishing outposts in Newfoundland around 1610 and established. Four intercolonial wars happened between English and French settles, finally in two treaties French will give to English people Canada and a part of New France at one thousand sixty trhee1763
At 1849 Canada take de independence of UK by the treaty of Oregon with the American help, this happened after a 100 hundred years of argues between Canada and England
Canada is separated in two parts, French part (Ontario and Quebec) or lower Canada and English part or upper Canada. In these parts they speak French and English respectly.
Canada can be divided in 10 provinces and three territories .

Canada is one of the biggest countries in the world that’s why Canada has different biomes or climates like Tundra, Boreal forest, Mixed forest, Broadleaf Forest and Rocky mountains
The most famous and specials animals of Canada are:
- the Polar bear ( who lives on the tundra or the boreal zones, polar circle).
-The reindeer (lives in zones like boreal forests or mixed forests, they could weight more than three hundred kilo’s and 2 meters long)
-The artic hare (the white rabbit, which lives on tundra)
-The red fox (these animal is a dangerous situation because his skin is valued around the world, lives in the low part of Rocky Mountains and on the broadleaf forests
And finally the American Bison is an animal who lives on the tundra or boreal forests; he’s one of the biggest animals of Canada
The main part of the animals is mammals because of the cold and snow they’ve to resist the cold.

IN the two different parts, and the food obviously is different,
On the French part the food is like French cuisine but with ingredients of other countries, because of the colonization these food have parts of Russian, Italian and Germany … The base is the French cuisine and these part is more like Europe than the other.
The English part because of the nealry to EUA has parts of American cuisine. The main ingredient of this cuisine how you know is the meat, they uses meat in each plate. There are like in EUA a lot of fast foods, but the population doesn’t have the same overweight than in EUA
Vancouver a city in Canada had celebrated last year the Olympic Winter Games, because of the snow, Canada is the perfect place to do snow or ski, Canada has a lot of important snowboarders and skiers like Eric Gruay
The Canadian football is much extended in Canada, there are a lot of teams and they play in the American league. In my opinion, but they are not very good.
Finally the main sport of the country is the ice hockey, Canadian team had won several times the Olympic games of ice hockey, and they are really good

If you have any question?

Adrian vs Thirteen

The secret diary of Adrian Mole vs Thirteen

Well at the first I wanted to show you the main difference between them, the sex, Adrian Mole diary is starred by a boy, and Thirteen by a girl, how a we know the girls are more advanced(mentally) in the teenage than boys, that’s why there is so many differences.
Adrian Mole Diary is a book that it’s for children I think, there is no much violence and it’s not very hard to understand. It’s a difficult situation but many children see more violence than this.
After we have thirteen, this film is for teenagers. How we can see, at the first the girl is so politically educated, but when she sees what the popularity represents she started to go with bad influences. She meets Evie, the most popular girl in the High School, then she started to smoke, stole bags and take drugs.
His mother, not like Adrian mother, was worried about her. She tries to help her but she doesn’t want. At the last she cut herself and her mum had to take action.

Oral presentation

Transcription

Hello, in this oral presentation I’m going to talk about tennis.
Tennis could be an indoor sport or an outdoor sport. In this oral presentation I’m going to talk about outdoor tennis, because I play outdoor tennis.

There are two types of tennis. Single and Doubles, the most common is the single tennis. The main difference is that single tennis is between two players and doubles is between two teams of two players each. Well, because the most common is single and it’s funnier than doubles I’ll talk about it.
There are three types of courts:
-The clay court is made of crushed shale, stone, brick or sand. The clay court is more common in Europe or Latin America than in North America, Canada or Brittan.
When the ball touches the court its speed slows but his bounce, jump is higher.
-The grass court it’s the fastest for the balls, and it’s the most typical and common court in the entire world. It could be natural or artificial grass, in the artificial the ball goes faster.
-The hard court it’s made of prefabricated sand and the speed of the ball depends of it. It’s no common here but in America or Australia it’s also used.

The equipment to play tennis is so easy to get. To play tennis you only need a racket, balls and a court, a place with a net and lines. Tennis is much extended in the world, that’s why you can found a tennis court, here, in Canada or in China.
To start a tennis match one player serve and the other receive. When the player serves he has to pass over the net and touch the opposite square. The receiver has to return the ball to it and then the match starts. When a player touches the ball and it doesn’t touch the opponent square or when the ball touches two times in the same court the other player have fifteen points.
These are the easy rules, there are more and more difficult.

Like football or any sport tennis have competitions. The players are qualified in a list, the ATP list. The ATP list doesn’t give points to players when they win a match like most sports; they give points when they win a tournament.
There are four important tournaments and behind them there are others tournaments. These four are called Grand Slam. When a player beat all his opponents and wins the Slam, he gets more than three million dollars and 2000 ATP points.
Behind them there are Masters 1000, if you win you gets 1000 ATP points. In one year there are like 8-9.
At the last the 250-500 series are the most regular tournaments. Normally there are 50-60 at year.

Last ten years had exploded a new start of tennis, Rafael Nadal, he started to play tennis when he was five whit his uncle. Rafael was born in Mallorca, Spain. With his 24 years he had won Roger Federer and he had broken lots of records.
Roger Federer, he’s second on ATP behind Rafael Nadal. He is from Switzerland and he’s the player who won more Slams in the history of tennis. He’s 28 and he has 16 Slams. The specialists on tennis think that he’s the greatest tennis player of all the time

That's all. Thanks and if you have any questions...

1-when did you start to play tennis? (Nuria)

Well, I'm not gonna speak about my personal life sorry.

There are four types of rackets, the young one, the middle one, the biggest and after another that is not for tennis. The professional tennists play with the biggest.

There is not an important Slam, there is one in France, in America, in Australia and one in Brittan
