My English competece in 2009

For choosing my best oral evidnce I have some problems becase I think the majority are so good. These last podcasts I choose two. The frist is the one that talks about Palestina and Israel. And the second is the one that talks about Pepe Bottle and Napo Bonaparte. I think that there are really serious and funny.
I think that in the blog all the entries are good. But I think that those that talks about sport, specially basketball, are better than the others.
The podcasts: http://ariii9110portfolio.blogspot.com/2009/04/podcast.html
http://ariii9110portfolio.blogspot.com/2009/01/israel-vs-palestina.html
The written evidences: http://ariadna11.blogspot.com/2009/05/final-four-berlin-2009.html
http://ariadna11.blogspot.com/2009/03/barca-and-tau-in-quarters-of-euroleague.html

I choose these written evidences because I know the sports novelties very well so I can explain more things about that than another person. And I choose these podcasts because I like them a lot, one because it talks about a very important war in the world, and in the second because I think it's really funny.
I think that all of this works are really good because I did them with all I learn in the classes. I use imagination, new words and expressions, fluency in the recorders and work in group.

My English 2007-2009

It's true that I learn English a lot: readings, listening, writings etc.
In my last descrpition to the teacher I explain more things about me and about what I'm doing these year. The first one was short and very easy to understand.
Comparing my first oral presentation with the last one, I have to say that there are a lot of difference. Now the orals have more maturity and more length. The fluency has improved a lot, I'm not so much nervous like before. Definitively, I talk with more calm and better.
I have to say that this year is the most intensive one. Because of that, it's in which I learnt more.
I know that for me learning English is difficult but the oral presentations I done these two years of batxillerat I learn a lot for pass the selectivitat and for my life.

Writing

French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said that "the best things people have made are all things that bring people together". Discuss this statement and say what are your mind, the best things people have made. Would you say that Internet make our social life richer or poorer?

At first, I have to say that Saint-Exupéry is right. Some of the things that we invented are for bring people together. Most of them but not all.
For example, the aireplane I agree with him. It's an invention which bring people together because it allows you going to everywhere you want. It's a very useful thing.
Also the telephone is very important for everybody. It brings all together, because it allows you talking with you family or your friends everywhere you are.
But, in the other hand I think that there are other inventions which are less useful. For example: Internet. I agree that Internet is useful to know people from around the world. It's true that you can find information in the net but it isn't the same that being there. The airplane can bring you there, Internet only nears you in that place.
In conclusion, I have to recognizing that most of the inventions of humans are useful, but some more than the other.

News 3: The swine flue


The swine flue is spreading around the world. This flue is made of three other different flues: the first one belongs to humans, the second one to the pigs and the third one to the chikens. These kind of flues are mixed inside the pigs. Everybody becomes infected for respiratory way, so we have to take a mask.
The flue begins in Mèxic and iy spread first in USA, where are 85 cases , in New Zeland, where are 4 cases, and in Canada, where are 85 cases.
Right now, in Spain there are 40 cases, but no one have died because of swine flue. The first one appeared in Bilbao and two more in Girona.
But also there are some other countries around the world which are infected people: Germany, Israel, UK, France, Austria, Denmark, Colombia, Hong Kong and others.
I think that all countries have to take measures for preventing the flue. Only there was deaths in Mèxic and USA, but everybody is worried about this flue.

Toxic friends

Dear Daisy,
I have to talk to you about some issues. You don't pick up the phone so that's why I'm writting to you this letter.
At first, I have to say that I have other friends a part from you. I know that we had a very good friendship, but now I can't stand it. I spent all my time with you, and my boyfriend is angry with me and also with you. You are a very good person, but it's unbearable.
I want you to continue being my friend, because I know you since we were children, and I love you so much. We can be friends, but no like now. I want to spend my time also with Charles, because I love him too.
We can talk on the phone but not for two hours like before, I have other things to do like studying.
I'm sure you will understand what I mean with his letter, if not so we can continue being friends, but not with the same confidence.
Surely you'll understand because you know what our friendship represents to me.
I love you so much.

A letter to my friend about a concert

12th october 2009

Hello Kate!
How are you? I'm writing to you this letter to talk about Lax'n'busto. As you know, I went to their concert in Barcelona, so I want to explain to you how I feel there.
I arrived too early because I knew that there would be a lot of people doing queue. I buy the entry and I have been waiting for four hours, more or less. It was horrible, but you've already known what I can do for this group.
The waiting was worthwhile, because it was very huge, and fantastic. After one more hour, the establishment was plenum of people. I met known people: Mark and Lisa, and Charles.
The sound was really good, and the stage too.
And, the concert begins everybody also begin to shout. The majority of the fans knew all the songs. Others showed their banners. The atmospher was spectacular.
It has been one of the best concerts I've gone.
If you have the opportunity to go to one of their concets, do it. Surely you'll like it a lot.
Now it's time to say goodbye. See you early!
XXXOO
