Final Reflection

Observing your SPACE, can you see an improvement on your level of English since September 2009? Where, for example?
With this blog, sincerelly I haven't improved. As I said last post, I think that blog is an useless item to learn english.
Which activity best shows your level of English?
The exams shows my level in English I think.
Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve
your English? Why?
The most useful activities are: Oral Presentations, the theory in class and the speaking. Because I think that the most important part of learning English is to speak.
Which activities did you not find useful to learn English?
Why not?
As I said the blog is the worst activity to learn English and the Podcast too. The podcast isn't useful because what you said is written down, you just read it.
Which activities did you enjoy doing and would like to do
again next year?
The speaking area and the reading area are important to imporve English, of course if you speak it there.
The Oral presentations are important, I don't like to do them but I know that they are so important

Avatar

In my opinion Avatar, directed by James Cameron, is a brilliant movie.

The move explains the history of an American invasion to another planet, Pandora. American army try to invade the planet to have in his own a odd mineral that is only in the planet. But the natives, Na'vi tried to stop these acts.

The main caracther does a track suit to camuflate in the native tribes to explain why they are doing that and explain that if a Na'vi tries to stop these, they will kill him. The protagonist falls in love with one Na'vi, and he revealed against the American army. Then the general of the army decide to kill all the Na'vi.

Well, I'm not going to explain more because if you haven't seen it yet you'll be disappointed. The film got a fantastic expectation because it was the first 3D film in the history of cinema.

My opinion about bloggs.

I'm completely in disagree with the policy of bloggs.

Each final term I do the same thing, I expose my opinion about the bloggs and I try to convence the teachers to leave bloggs.
In my opinion a blogg doesn't help students to learn more, a blog just keep bussy the student and that produces stress.

A blog is a bad weapon to study english because, in my opinion, most of students use traductors or texts that are online, they just copy and post, teachers couldn't control it and students in my opinion don't learn.

That's why I'm in disagree about the blogs, they are useless items.

A new law in Italy

The goverment of Italy is going to aprove a law that's going to forbid ugly, fat and anorexic womans that sunbathe in the beach.

This law is trying to be aproved because of the lot of this type of woman in the beach.
I can't opine of that theme in Italy because I don't live there but if Spain does that I'd be in disagree. Because it's ilogical with one of the humans rigths, freedom of speach.

In Spain, an European contry, its unacceptable

That's my opinion

Our country should not have an army. Do you agree?

I think that the goverments don't have to elimate the army. THe army is an important group of people taht could save our life while they are sacrificing themselves.
And what will happen if another country attacks us?
They army of other countries would exterminate us if we don't have an army.
These are the reasons why we are using an army.
Then, another example:
Afew months ago, the people that control the airports, went on strike, in the middle of the Easter Hollydays. Then the army appeared and solved the prolem.
In conclusion, I'm in favor of this opinion. The reasons yo eliminate the army are less strong than the resaon to preserve it.

Wembley have changed until the last final of Barça. Wembley have been restaured, but it also have the base of the old Wembley.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barcelona had won the Champions this Saturday.
Now Barcelona have four Champions in his own.
Barcelona's fans had celebred that two days after the match. Barcelona did a tour around the city of Barcelona and they finally arrived in the Camp Nou, where they did a speach to all the public that was there.
Madrid's fans said that these were unacceptable, they said that they must stayed there, not Barcelona.
In my opinion Madrid's fans have to shut up, they are bad losers

Barcelona-Madrid match

This month three matches have been succed between Barceloona's team and Madrid team and tomorrow another will happpen.
First of all I'm going to explain why is this match so important. Barcelona and Madrid had been rivals from the first days of the Spain league.

FOX Entertainment

The Fox Entertainment Group is an American entertainment industries company.The Fox Entertainment Group was formed in the 1990s after the purchase of the Metromedia-owned Independent stations by the 20th Century Films film studio, at the time jointly owned by Australian media mogul Ruper Murdoch's News Corporation, and Denver billionaire Marvin Davis. It is named after William Fox, born Wilhelm Fried, who created the original Fox Film Corporation.

Play Station 3

Last year Sony, an important technology company, made the most important console ever.

This console had appeared on the top of the lists, Sony had sold more than ten millions of this consoles. Sony won lots of money selling this console.

In EUA more than 40% of childs have a PS3. Then other companies had created consoles like PS3, like the new XBOX or others.

In one year appeared more PS games than in others consoles which had lived more years.

Bruce Springsteen

Now I want to speak about the best singer in the world for me: Bruce Springsteen.
This man stared to sing when he was 13 and now is one of the most famous singers in the world. With songs like Streets of Philadelphia, Born in USA and more. He was in the top ten musicians. He is the fan number one of Elvis Presley. He's known like THE BOSS

He always had made Rock music but in the last album he start to sang in a country style. Here I put the letters of one song:

Born down in a dead man's town

The first kick I took was when I hit the ground

You end up like a dog that's been beat too much

'Til you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.

Born in the U.S.A.

Born in the U.S.A

Born in the U.S.A.

I got in a little hometown jam

And so they put a rifle in my hands

Sent me off to Vietnam

To go and kill the yellow man

Come back home to the refinery

Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"

I go down to see the V.A. man

He said "Son don't you understand"

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn

Fighting off the Viet Cong

They're still there, he's all gone

He had a little girl in Saigon

I got a picture of him in her arms

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary

Out by the gas fires of the refinery

I'm ten years down the road

Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.

Born in the U.S.A.

I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.

Born in the U.S.A.

White week

Last year the Generality of Catalonia had changed the school calendar system. We started a week before but we had a week off in March.
Then when the Generality changed of hands, the goverment decided that next year we will start a week before but we won't do a week off in March.
Specialists said that they do that because of the bad notes of Catalan students.
Parents first of all were annoying about the week off in March, because they couldn't stay at home taking care of their sons.
In my opinion they do it for teachers work more.
Finally I think that these are stupid things, if they want to improve the education they have to do other things
These things won't become childs more intelligent, for example they could improve the education with more agenda or more themes.

Libya

Few weeks ago the Libya's dictator started a civil war between his faithful's and the rebels. Gaddafy the dictator doesn't want to leave Libya and the main part of population want it. The rebels have the second important city of Libya and they tried to eject the dictator, but Gaddafy with his faithful's, the main part of the army, are defending Tripoli, capital of Libya.
The ONU demands to Gaddafy to leave the power, they threaten Gaddafy with monetary sanctions, but he omit it and he tries to kill the rebels with terrest and air forces.
Rebels demand the military help of ONU, but the countries doesn't want to atac Gaddafy.

Today Gaddafy said to his population that his army had controled the main part of the country, but the rebels say just the opposite, that they are attacking cities controled by the faithul's of Gaddafy.

The mechanic

Few days ago I went to the cinema to saw The mechanic.
It's plot it's strange, It's a profesional murderer who does "works" from one company. One day the company give him a work, he has to kill his best friend. If he doesn't do that, another, will kill his friend. Finally he decided to kill him. When he killed his friend, the son's friend, ask to him to help he to venge the death of his father. The boy doesn't know that he was the killer.
He accepted to help the boy, he train him with weapons, strategies, all..
Finally they decided to kill the boss from the company. When they finally killed the boss, the young man discobered by a gun, his father's gun, that his trainer had killed his father.
The boy tried to kill the mechanic but he couldn't. He thinks that he had killed him but when he returned to his house, when he get into the car, its explodes and he dies.

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.

Dear headmistress,

I am writing to tell tou how the school is.
The school has to improve.
First of all there is a deficient luch school system. The building is so sad, there is no color. It looks like a prison, with a watch tower...
There is too the education system, in one word, BAD. I know that you can't do anything but I would like to let you know that the students know it and we are not very happy with it.
Finally has you can see and the students too the WC is disgusting.
I would be grateful if you could change these things. With your position I think that it will not be difficult.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfuly

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?

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia is a Project of Wikimedia Foundation (an organization who doesn’t want money) to build a new online encyclopedia. There are more than 16 million of articles and the most part of them have been written by volunteers of the entire world, these articles could be edited for any person. It has been created on January of 2001 for Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger.
Is in this moment the biggest and the most popular encyclopedia of the world.

Wikipedia is into the ten webs more crowded of the world. There is but a discussion theme, the magazine Nature said in one of his magazines that Wikipedia is equal reliable than the Britannic Encyclopedia, but in 2009 on the newspaper El Pais , from Spain, recognize the Wikipedia is less reliable than the Britannic one.
The creators of Wikipedia don’t want to create exaltation and they don’t say anything about this theme.
The word Wikipedia comes from wiki wiki from Hawaii Islands, it means fast or speed; and from English->encyclopedia.


How we can see in the High School of Castello most people do schools works with a “cut and put” and after the teacher get off the mark because it.
Do you think that’s correct? Just an opinion
