FINAL REFLECTION.

First of all my English started to improve when I went to Ireland since then I've been quite fluent. I always liked English (lenguages in general) because of the influences in my family. I think learning and knowing lenguages is very important nowadays. 


The things I had improved the most are grammar and speaking. Now I also have facilities in listening movies or English natives and I can understand everything. I think my best talent in English is the grammar and the speaking for sure. 


Well this year I have done a lots of writings and that helped me because I had to look for vocabulary in dictionaries and on the internet, I had to look for information too so I learnt a lot. I don't think there's an activitie that isn't useful to improve English. Because in all the activities you hav to work and wanting or not you find difficulties. 


I really liked the activities we did all together. However I'd like to improve my oral presentations for next year because this year they haven been too low for my level. I should be more confident and memorize my power points.


Finally I want to say that it has been a nice year and our group of English has been strong and with a good level. I hope to see you all next year!! HAVE A NICE HOLIDAYS IN SUMMER!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Well since I was a baby my mum used to put us ( my brother and I ) Disney movies. As I'm a girl I used to like all princess movies and my brother used to like more Peter Pan, the Jungle book, Donald, Pluto, Mickey, Dumbo, Bambi.. In fact when I grew up I'm talking about 2 years ago I discovered Alice in Wonderland. I'm not saying that I'd never heard of it but I just didn't have the chance to watch it. Until something said inside me you have to download it. So I did it. I think is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I think that it isn't a movie for a child, they wouldn't understand it. 
It is a movie from Walt Disney producers. The argument is: A girl who's listening to her sister because she's teaching her history, but Alice doesn't pay any attention. She falls asleep and she has the strangest dream ever. Is like this that she arrives to Wonderland where she founds some wierd characters: the Dodo bird, the March hare and the mad hatter and a caterpiller who's smokes a pipe. She sees herself envolved in some funny events like a party of "happy no birthday" or a match with the hearts Queen. Finally she woke up and her sister tells her to go home. 
I really enjoy watching this movie.



SELF EVALUATION

Well Eugenia and me worked hard to find all the information and to make the power point but the bad think of our presentation is that we didn't prepeared. The pictures we used were shocking and woke up the other children in class. I also have to say that our presentation had many interrumptions. We classify our pp in orther. From the most important things to our conclution. We made a question to the class but noone answered it so this made us feel a bit bad too and more insecure. If I had known the topics from the other people I would have changed my topic because it was very boring but important. Our information was from the internet and so the vocabulary was too sofisticated.
Anyway now I know how to make a nice and properly power point presentation and I'll be ready for next year to rock!

ROSAS.

2 weeks ago a guy from Rosas died. 
He was a photographer in he was taking pictures from a plane while he was taking them the pilot touched with the wing into the sea and the plane lost control. The pilot was injured but the photographer, Jordi Velasco, died. It was really sad because he had been a studiant in my old school and he was a very nice person. He also was very young and his family was with him when all this happened. 



ROLAND GARROS, 2O12

I'm a tennis fan and so this week is the Roland Garros and I'll tell you what it's going on. 
All the matches that have been already played have been totally amazing and there also have been defeats unexpected. 
The matches more important have been: the victory of Del Potro (ARG) vs. Roger Vasselin (FRA), the victory of Paul Enry (FRA) vs. John Isner (EUA), the difficult victory of Novak Djokovic (SBR) vs. Andrea Seppi (ITA), the defeat of Serena Williams (EUA) vs. Razzano (ITA) and the defeat of Azarenka (BRUS) vs. Civulscova. They were really great matches and I love watching them like this I can learn more for me when I play. 
The most special thing in this tournement is that insteat of doing only 2 sets you have to do 3 sets so the matches are much more longers (only boys).
My favourite player is Roger Federer and I hope he wins this year but he'll have to fight hard! 


A TORNADO IN COLOMBIA!

Around 5.000 people stayed without home this last Saturday in the Colombian location of Sabanalarga after a tornado which distroyed everything in the city center. The population was discribing the tornado like this: "the tornado was dragging the tiles from the houses like if they were sheet papers." According to the authorities, at least one person lost his life and more than one hundred are injured by the tornado. 




Giving my opinion to this new is very difficult I can only say that is a terriffic catastrophe. We are so lucky to live in a zone with lalmost any possibilities of having tornadoes. 

FIRST CERTIFICATE.

The 2nd of June I took for the second time the first certificate examination. The first time I didnt pass for three points and it was really annoying! but this year I have been prepearing it with particular courses. 
I had to practice for the reading, writing, use of English, listening and speaking. I had to study hard because I had to know all the prepotitions, adverbs, queation marks, phrasal verbs.. 
On Saturday, the day of the exam, I woke up very early and I had a nice and healthy breakfast to have energy and to keep my mind clear. Then I reviced a bit my notes and I collected a friend who was doing the exam with me. We arrived there at 8.30 and the exam was starting at 9 o'clock. There were a lot of studients and even old people. Then the master came out and called the 30 firsts candidates and so I was number 6 so I had to go in. By casuality in the same class there were three friends of mine. The exam got started at 9 o'clock we began with the reading, every time we finished a part we had a little break. The last part was speaking, my partner was very nice with me, she was 18 years old and her name was Anna. When I had finished I had to wait for my friend because she had the speaking time at 3 o'clock. I finished the day very tired but I finished the exam and I felt free and happy of my work. I will know the results on the 16th of July.
