..Alaska...


We have already had the photographies of our travel in Alaska. It is a wonderful memories.

That day, the sun begans to hide between the white mountains. At the plain there was a big polar bear walking on the snowy land. Suddenly, it stopped next to the water for drink.

But we only got the photograph, nothing else.

The magic moment disappeared when the ducks opened their wings and they started theri flight to the sky.
When I look the photo I feel good, the polar bear in the middle of the mountains....it is a really nice picture.

The Formal Letter...

Los Biblos street,55
Empuria brava
17487
Girona
13th of February 2008
Headmaster, Mrs Pintó
Ies catellod'empuries
Sreet rentador



Dear Mrs Pintó,

I am a student of secondary school in Ies CAstelló d'Emprúries and I am writing to comment on different matters.

On one hand, I want to point that the level of studies in this high school is quite good, the teaching staff is professional and the lessons atmosphere is pleasant.

But on the other hand the building is dull, both the inside and outside walls. It need to be more colourful and maybe some window fences are unnecessary.

In my pinion, this little detail is important to give liveliness to the building. Because as it is now, it's look more a prison than a school.

I am looking forward to get a response.


Your's sincerely,
Ariadna Comas

...Australia..


2Oral presentation

Chanez: Usually when we talk about Australia we use to think automaticly about kangaroos but is not only this.

Chanez: It capital is Canberra. It population it's about aproximatly 20 millions of habitans and it oficial language is the English but there are more then 200 aborigenous languages.
Me: The name "Australia" is derived from the Latin Australis, meaning "Southern". Legends of an "unknown land of the south"date back to Roman times and were commonplace in medieval geography.
STATES AND TERRITORIES
Chanez: Australia has six states, two major territories, and other minor teriitories. The states are New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. The two major mainland territories are the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory.
Me: The msot popular city in Australia is Sydney who is a major international tourist destination notable for its beaches and twin landmarks: the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The metropolitan area is surrounded by national parks, and contains many bays, rivers and inlets.
Chanez: Australia also has several minor territories; like New South Wales, the Jervis Bay Territory. In addition Australia has the following, inhabited, external territories: Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, Cocos Island.
LANGUA GES OF AUSTRALIA

Me: Australia has no official language, it is largely monolingual with English being the national language. Australian English has much less internal dialectal variation than either British or American English. It has also 200 indigenous languages.
INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES
Chanez: There were about 250 languages spokeb by Indigenous Australians before to the arrival of Europeans. Most of these are now either extinct, with only about twenty languages still being learnt by new generations.
The languages with the most speakers today are Arrente, Kala Lagaw Ya, Tiwi, Walmajarri, Warlpiri, and the Western Desert language.
CULTURE
Me: The Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne was the first building in Australia to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. Since 1788, the primary basis of Australian culture has been Anglo-Celtic, and by the indigenous culture. But the australian culture has also been strongly influenced by American popular culture. The vigour and originality of the arts in Australia- literature, cinema, opera, music, painting, theatre, dance and crafts- have achieved international recognition.
Chanez: Australian visual arta have a long history, starting with the cave and bark paintings of its indigenous peoples. Landscapes has too their importance in the art, seen for example in the works of Arthur Streeton and Albert Namatjira.
Australia's film industry has achieved many critical and commercial successes. Contemporary Australian cinema is more complex and diverse than ever, exploring Australian peoples and cultures from a diverse range of viewpoints in recent films such as Looking for Alibrandi, Two Hands, The Boys...
Me: Sport plays an important part in Australian culture, assisted by a climate that favours outdoor activities; and to organise sporting activities. At an international level, Australia has particularly strong teams in cricket, hockey , netball, rugby league, and rugby union, and it performs well in cycling, rowing, and swimming. Nationally, other famous popular sports is the horse racing, soccer, and motor racing.
Chanez: Australia has participated in every summer Olympic Games of the modern era, and every Commonwealth Games. Australia hosted the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and has ranked among the top five medal-takers since 2000. Australia has also hosted the 1938, 1962, 1982, and 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Me: Other major international events held regularly in Australia include the Australian Open (one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments), annual international cricket matches, and the Formula One Australian Grand Prix.
MUSIC
Chanez: Australia has a lot of kind of music, the most important are:
Indigenous Australian music: has become a vehicle for social protest, and has been linked, by both performers and outsiders, with similar forms from Native Americans; Jamaican singer Bob Marley is often credited with helping to revive traditional Aboriginal music.
Me: Country music: Australia has a long tradition of country music, which has developed a style quite distinct from its U.S. . Waltzing Matilda, often regarded by foreigners as Australia's unofficial National anthem, is a quintessential Australian country song, influenced more by Celtic folk ballads than by American Country and Western music.
Chanez: Pop and rock: Australia has produced a wide variety of popular music. Some notable examples include the 1960s successes of The Easybeats and the folk-pop group The Seekers, through the heavy rock of AC/DC, Cold Chisel the slick pop of INXS, to Kylie Minogue, Silverchair and more recently Jet, Wolfmother, Eskimo Joe, Grinspoon, The Vines, The Living End and others are currently enjoying enormous success internationally.
Me: Classical Music: the first Australian musician of any sort to achieve international fame was operatic soprano Dame Nellie Melba in the late 19century.

Do you have any questions?

...horror story...

...The mobile...
One day, I took my bag and I went to the school. The first class was Maths and I slept because it made me sleepy. After the classes Mary and I went to have lunch. We were at Oscar's Cafe. We had lunch peacefully. Then we went to school. I thought that when I arrived home I could go to sleep. But... when the classes finished I was in the toilet. I had not heard the bell, and when I didn't see anyone I was surprised. The wain door of the scool was always opened, but now... now it was closed. I was very frightened. The mobile phone began to ring. I looked at the screen and iy was black!!! I didin't answer the phone. I was very scared. The mobile phone begain to ring again. I thought that maybe it was my mother or Mary. I answered the phone and it was a man. His voice was very cold, deep. He said to me:
- You will die now!!-.
The day after, the caretaker found the girl. She was stoned: She was with her mobile phone in the ear, and.... some blood was dripping from the mobile.
