Final evaluation of 1st Batxillerat

I see my porfolio and I thing that I improve with the writings, I think that now for me, makes writings are most easy, I compare the first text with the last and I can see that are better the lasts.
The activity that show my level of English I think that are the writings that I was made this year, because I think that with the you can show your level of English, with the writings and speaking english too.

I think that the activity that is best to improve my english is see films and listen oral presentations, learn new words, listen songs, talk whit other people in english. I think that the grammatical exercices are good to improve the english, but is more useful the other things, because with this you can make the things that make one english person in her live.

I think that all that make in class is useful to learn English, there aren't nothing that you can make that isn't useful. Only that are things that are more useful than the others.

The activities that I enjoy more is listen songs, watch films in english and read interesting books.

Bye first of batxillerat ^^

Every day dead a lot of people in the hightway for diferents causes. For example : bad and crazy drivers, badly state of the highway, the alcohol and drugs, and another things.
There are more traffic accidents the holidays and in the weekend, because the people take mor the car.

It is said that with increasing age of drivers, reduce traffic accidents.
They say that the causes of all this is the alcohol and drugs, why the authorities are trying to increase the figure of an alternative driver for the weekend.

- Vial education: its a very important thing because is the begining fot the drivers.


The end

And this is the end if you don’t follow the norms.

______________

Ok people, this is our last oral presentation. What I can say about it? First I have to say that I think that its better than the others orals. First because I see that the pronuntiaton its better and the ideas are more complicated (remember that on the first oral presentation we have to talk about something about our live, and it is so easy, more than this). The second thing that I considerate improve is the body lenguage, that is more sofisticated. The words that we use are a speciality lenguage. Its true that some times we wach de paper, but only some times, no all the time.

As soon as, I think that this are better, but I think that I can make it better, we will see it on next year.

An opinion essay

We have almost learnt to respect our world. Do you agree?

I’m not agree. The people who live in our world don’t think about respect it, they only think about the money and how they make to goes rich. They pollute the atmosphere, cut trees, kill animals, and another things.

I think that are not a lot of people that think about the future of our world, only the ecologist people and some person, to care for our earth and make something to change all the badly things that the rest of the people make.

In addition I think that it’s the biggest problem that the humans will have in their lives, because the nature, the world is our home and the pollution in our world are increasing. If we don’t respect it, then where will we live?

In conclusion, I think that we have to try to think about the things that we only well have one time in our live, no more. Although I think that it is too late for change our the problems that are affect in the world.

An opinion essay

Too much importance is given to exams at school. Do you agree?

I agree with this sentence. Aways all of the marks that you can have of schools are exams, but nobody makes this question: What is behind the exams?

In my opinion, teachers have to considerate the importance of the exams, because you have stady to learn things, but I think that they have to conciderate the importance of all taht are behind this exams exercices.

In addition they have to considerate the capacity of the pupil, because if one boy have too much memory, her exam will be ok, but what happens if another boy are very very inteligent but they haven't memory?

In conclusion, I think that its a very relative topic because all pupils are diferent. For this reason I think that the importance are in the exams, but the importance are in the capacity of the person too.

La conca de Barberà

La conca de Barberà is located halfway between the Tarragona coast and the city og Lleida. One important village of La conca de Barberà is L’espluga de Francolí, this town is well known for its caves and as well as this natural undergound attraction, there is also the Museu del Vi (Wine Museum) and the Museu de la Vida Rural, a museum dedicated to Catalan country life.

In this comarca there are too another important village that is called Poblet, there are the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet. It is the larges inhabited Cistercian monastery in Europe, and since,m a UNESCO Wordl Heritage Site. Foundaded in, it is one of a trio of Cistercian communities set un as part of the strategy of reorganisation and repopulation of “New Catalunya”, adopted by the Catalan-Aragonese rulers after the deafeat of the Moorish conquetors. Today it’s possible to visit about halfthe monastery, including the main cloister, the 13^th-century kitchen and dining-room and dormitories.

I saw all of this 3 times, because I was stay there, and I have to say that is a magic place that I think that all people have to see. =)

camera, invention

Camera

• In my opinion The best invention in history is the photographic camera. First diagram of a camera obscura appeared in a manuscript by Leonardo da Vinci in 1519, then Thomas Edison invented the first commercially camera in 1887. but Eastman Kodak, is who invented the digital camera in 1990

• The camera is a little box that allows you to capture images and moments of your live. I think that it’s important for the humanity because it’s a great step for our lives, you can have your past in a picture, and this premise that you don’t forget it.

Climate Change?

The weather around the world is changing, in the past there are for a natural causes, but now, we are the reason, the reason of our destruction. Our cars, the industries, the citys, the contamination... This is the reason of the climatic change.

Nowadays we can't make something to change this, because now its too late, the only thing that we can make its stop the contamination and the impact, maybe, will be less important and the people of the future, our children will can live in a "better world". But the consequences are for all the animals in the world, no only we. The birds, the bears and the pinguins of the North Pole...

My question is, how we can arrived here?

I think that the reason most important its the money. The money make go crazy all man they make all the things to be rich, and we stay making the worst mistake of our lives.

If you have a little of heart, think about it.

Easter Day

Christians around the world are celebrating Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday is the day they believe Jesus Christ was resurrected. All persons doesn't work this day, and they go to the church. Some cultures around the world the children paint eggs because is an Easter tradition.

In a lot of parts of the world ther are a differents traditions, here in Catalonia, the tradition is that the "Padrins" give Mones, that is chocolat eggs or money to "Fillols", and the Sunday ( I think) the children go to the church with the "Palma".

I think that its a nice tradition, but I think that the holidays are too shorts... =))

Diferences between the film and the book.

I think that the film of Frankenstein its better than the book because you can see the especial efects and all that you can't in the book.

There are a lot of diferences with the book and the film, for example in the book the father of Frankenstain died of sadness, and in the film the monster kill he. Another diference is that in the book the monster died burned for his self and in the film the monster burned with frankenstein and he too died. another is that Frankenstain in the film make the woman monster in Switzerland and in the book he goes to Scotland to make it. And the most important diference its the final of the history.

Caribean beach

Caribbean Beach.

Only the blue sea and the blue sky, no more. This two things make that this place, the caribbean beach are one of "dream places", and I think its true, all there is calm, with the sun on your skin, the sand under you, with nobody around you... In the photo the boat that are on the middle can feel you little than all the world. This place are like I say simple but perfect.

Description of a person

Manu

I have known Manu since 10 of September in 2007. He is from El Masnou next to Barcelona, and he is sixteen years old. He is there always, with her smile, her dreams and her guitar. He is a special person, a special friend.
He is brown-eyed, he is tall and he is got short and brown hair. He has a music hands, and always is wearing trousers, a t-shirt and the “Palestine” that I had donated. I think that is attractive, but above all he has a cute smile.
Manu seems rather shy and cool-hearted person, but then, when you want to know he, you can see that is very sociable and really extroverted person. I think that he has a huge heart, and this makes it a sensitive, kind and good person. I think he has a gift, something that makes it special when picks up the guitar. When I look at playing the guitar, he captivates my mind, as if there was not anything else.
One thing that I like more of Manu is her imagination, her optimism and the way that he looks the world… He is Manu, my friend.
