My final reflection

My english progress from 2008 to 2010.

If we compare my first composition and my last composition we can see a little bite propgress but no more. My first composition is the letter that my classmates and me written one year ago. This letter is short and my vocabulary is very simply. In my last composition aren't good but there are more fluency than the first writing. Also I find that I had little vocabulary. As the composition is very short the structure aren't very bad it same that the content. But there are more different with the vocabulary, language and fluency althought that my lasts composition isn't very good. In my view I think that althought I have progress a lot because now I do a lot of wrongs that after I didn't do. I believe that the reason is that after as I had little vocabulary and little fluency. For this reason after I did a little composition and I did a little phrases.

This is the link of my first composition in first batxillerat. Here we can see the simply composition that I did.

And in my first presentation oral we can see a bad pronunciaton than now and the vocabulary that I used was very poor.

My english competence in 2010

http://dmarin4.blogspot.com/2010/05/extra.html

This links are the my best written and my best presentation oral.

I believe that I choose this presentation oral as the best because in this I know aa lot about this topic. Furthermore, I was a little bite nervios and when I am nerviuos I need to read althought that I know the presentation or I know to find a different way to say.nevertheless in this show I think I defended pretty well with a more or less appropriate vocabulary and clear, good structure and good content. But I think that I failed in the pronunciation and the eye contact.

Then I choose my extra writing because is one of the last composition and I believe that I didn't very bad. Furthermore a person help me when I was doing this written. It isn't a bad composition because I can see that I don't repeat a lot, I use a clear vocabularyand my structure isn't very bad. Also I can see that the composition has alittle bite madurity unlike the other composition that I did before.

Then, this is all. This year I worked a lot but I should be work the writings! that in the first and second term I didn't take the language room for practise this. In the conclusion I can say that it's true that I have a little bite progress but I don't know if not for better or worse, which is that is not enough and I have to work harder

The last entry!

Finally the last entry! I will do a little bite avaluation of blog and in general.

I think that this blog use to improve the writings and vocabulary. Now I don't find every word inthe dictionary as at the begining but I don't know that I do because my writings doesn't improve. At the begining I have 4 in my wrigtins but now I only have threes. In my view this happens me because It's true that we wrote a lot and the majority of my classmates improve her writings or their vocabulary but If this writings aren't correct, we won't improve. Moreover I never went to a class out the school although that I've asked many times. And for this different reason I don't improve because I try to improve but I get rarely times.

But I also think that thanks for this blog I have get approved because the blog have more work but improve the mark althought the writings aren't very well. I also hope to approved this term even for the blog like the first term because I did very bad the reading and writing exam. Is alo true that I should have tried to improve my writings, readings and listening since the begining.The next year and this summer I try to improve my english for the next studies.

Extra!

I know that as teachers of English as the topic you like related to the environment I have proposed a recycling essay.I choosed this topic because I found some news related with this.This is the result:

Due to of the big production of garbage at the end of the twentieth century providing news houses on the world, many people have stopped buying unnecessary things and they have begun to recycle. Some people suggest that it won’t work. Personally, I don't believe this will happen.
Firstly, the recycling is very important for the environment. As a result, it’s beneficial for us. Moreover, the recycling prevents the augment of garbage around the world.
Secondly, many people are irresponsible about this item but nowadays there are more and more people that they are recycling. Therefore, the global warming is decreasing.
In conclusion, I am convinced that recycling have a future. In my opinion, the recycling is our present and our future.

Bad day

Now I will explain the last day. Yesterday was a gray day. I woke up and I could listen the wind When I went to school at 8 o'clock was very cold and was raining. Furthermore I had very sleep andI was very tired. In the end of this day the History subject give me a bad mark and the next day I have another examen for this subject. Yesterday when I arrived at home I don't slept like always. I studyied a lot all afternoon. I never has suspend som subject and I hope that not happens now. It all of this week and the next week are full of exams. But I believe that I pass the History exam and as they say here in bad weather, good face. The next Saturday It's my birthday and I do eighteen years!I am waiting all year for this day and I will play a football match and then I will went to Barraques with my friends and I will pass very well althought that the next week I have five exams because is the last week! and I try to have the best marks for improve my marks of batxillerat!

The last weekend

The last weekend I went to barraques. I explained the fist day in the last entry but now I will do a summary of remaining two days.

Saturday, then the football match Guillem, Roger who saw our football match and me we went to my house. I was ver tired and I went to wach tv but Roger and Guillem played in the computer games or played basketball. Then we went to Julia's house because was her birthday. In Julia's house we eat with Julia's friend and we give her the presents of her birthday.

Then we went to barraques of Figueres. When we went to barraques started to rain a lot but when I arrived in Figueres stop rain for fortune but there are a lot of pounds and mud. However, we could see the famous group of Delinquentes that they play a kind of music similar "rumba".

Then start again to raining but more less than before. Then I went with my different friends of Figueres, Castello, Fortia... I love Barraques because I always see alot of my friends that normally don't see because they have more friends or living far. In the end of this night I was angry with Andreu and then I went to mygirlfriend's house to slept. The next day I went to Telepizza for eat with the boys classmates, Pau's girlfriend and my girlfriend. At 12 o'clock we went to Barraques but all people left soon because this day was raining a lot. However, we left when Brams was that group of music who played left. And now I want to be the next week that comes back to go Barraques again!

Barraques and football match

This last weekend began the barraques. "Barraques" are the different parades where sold drinks and the next of this place there is a concert of different music groups like Delinquentes or Strombers.

Normally the first day there aren't more people but this year I suprised because there are a lot of people. This day there aren't a good group and I went to my friends and I don't listen th music because I don't like these. Then I went to slep very soon because the next day Ihave a football match against Perelada.

This match was very important because I was fifth in the league and If we won, we would seconds!Football match began at 5 o'clock and I met two or three perelada football players. One of this are my cousin and he is very fast. In the begining cost us a lot. In the first time we were 1 a 1 but in the second time we made two goals. In the end we were one a three and we won!therefore now we are seconds and maybe we up the category!

Manchester

Well, finally we could go to Manchester with my girlfriend Marta. First the 22th of april I slept in my girlfriend's house because the next day we should woke up at 7 o'clock for take to flight at 10 o'clock more or less.

When we arrived to airport was 9 o 'clock and we waited one hour o 'clock. Then we uped in the airplaine. We went to the Girona airport until Liverpool airport that her name is John Lenon Airport. In this place there are more things related with the beatles because they was born in this country. We were two hours in the airplane and then 1 hour to Manchester.

In Manchester Marta's sister waited them and She showed us all city like more important University of Manchester where she study, different universities, churches, a "noria" of Manchester, Hilton building( his building is the father of Paris Hilton) that is the tallest building of Manchester, different parks, studiant places, chinatown,library, Town Hall Square.... the first day we visited the universities and churches and then we went to Julia's house, Marta's sister. We were very tired but the next day We walked a lot and visited Hilotn building, "noria", studiat places, different parks and in the end we went to shopping. We wanted to go in a party but we were more and more tired. The last day we went to the bus stop and in the airport of Liverpool we waited 4 hours because the airplane wast postponing. I arrived in my home at 10 o 'clock. I like a lot. Furthermore this place is not similar with London because in London there are the tipical things of England and in Manchester there are a different ambient. thanks to Julia to move because we were there and had an amazing English.

Too bad I was missing days, but I enjoy it very much!:)

The last week before going to Manchester

5 days left for me to go to Manchester. And I have a big problem!the Island vulcano! I am very worry because only there are five days and now has erupted a vulcano. It's very irreal and I am begin to stress.
A month ago was the my girlfriend birthday. This day her sister Julia, that are living to studying in Manchester, bought two tickets for go to Manchester. My girlfriend invited me to go in Manchester. I was so keen that the time was going very slow. First we are going to decided when. We decided the 23 of April, the st.jordi's day. If we went this day, we returned three days after,26 of april. The last week became the worst. The spanish language teacher decided to put a exam in 23 of april! and I wouldn't do. Furthermore erupted a vulcano. There are a lot of days for a vulcano eruption but wol be that.
I thank that we didn't go but I just had said that I didn't do de exam. I was very stress. It was not until the 22 of april that the ryanair open her doors because a vulcano expelled a dangerous cloud of ash. This cloud of ash was expanded in Europe and all flights are cencelled. If a pane fly in the air with this cloud maybe the motors of the plain stop working and it was very dangerous.
The 22 of april ryanair works again and in the end I could go to Manchester.

Dialogue

Today we do an interview with a shepherd from Granollers. Wewill try to do an interview to know more of thi profession and their way of life now and before because this professions is dying out.

D:Hello, Peter. Are you ready for the interview?

P: Yes of course David, I'm so excited to begin.

D: Well, peter Is it true that now there ar less shepherd thn before?

P: Yes, that's right. I beiee tht the reason is because more people are used tot the new development of the society. Now there are more machines than before that they do our work.

D: Therefore you are agee with me If I say that the shepherd profession in te future will disappear. Could you tell us th causes and consequences?

P: I hope that you are wrong but I think the same. I thin that there are different cases. One of these causes is the developed society, as I said before. Another I am seems that now there are new jobs which are best paid than this. Now we don't see more shepherds than before. In this country I am the only one. However, now with the general crisis problem...

D:So, do you think that with this cisis there will be more shepherds?

P: I don't believ it but If I am sure with one thing is that th shepheds will never disappear. Althogh the are more machines I think that this professon will always exist.

D:That's good, but althought the developed society brings disvantages , there are also some advantages?

P: Yes, of course. The pofession now isn't the same that exited before. Now with new techonology it's easier thanbefore. The conditions nw are better than before.

Youngest debutant steps up to Moto Gp.

With only twenty years old Aleix Espargaró, from Granollers (Catalunya), is the youngest debutant in moto gp. Furthermore He signs for Promo Ducati Racing team for this year. Standing in for Mika Kallio in two Moto GP races has opened the door for Aleix Espargaró. He began in Moto 2 with Promoracing team but in the end he decided to began in Moto GP.
I think hat he isn't prepare to runing in Moto Gp. This ctegory is very potent for his because he doesn't have enoug developed bdy. This same problem Dani Pedrosa had and maybe Esparagaró will have the same problem.


Robot Cars

A team of architects and engineers at the Massachusetts has created a revolucionary a new robot city car.
The most shocking thing is that park thse vehicles with your eyes closed. This scientits are devoluping cars that park themselves automatically. This ars uses sensors to calculat for parking correc manoeuvres.
I believethat this cars will be created her a long time because now I would worry in important problems like climate change or anothers.


Vulcan and Iceland is a disaster air.

The cloud of ash from the Vulcan has reached middle Europe and most flights are disallowed. The ash cloud is composed of particles that leave the blocked aircraft engines and it does take a certain risk QE fly. It took a week to go, thousands of people were without flight, including the Barcelona Football Club had to travel by bus to Milan, because faced semifinal against Inter.
This vulca formed a great problem. I believeIf not had disappeared, Europe stayed in a important crisis. For fortune this cloud of ash had disappeared and now there aren't any problem.

UAB and UDG

A month ago more or less we went to a UAB (one of the univeristies in Barcelona). There we went to choose more or less and we know to operation the subject that we want to do the next year. First I went a bar with Guillem, Roger, Andreu and Adrià but then Andreu and me went to a class where they explained like operation the "education primary" (educació primaria) that I have think to go the next year because I still am not sure that I will do. Then I went to our house.

A couple of weeks ago we went UDG (university of girona). This university divide in diferent campus that this campus are distributed in diferents places of Girona. We went to "barri vell" that is the place of education primary and people that now are doing the batxillerat of lyrics. In this place we meet diferent person that the last year studying with our in the Castelló d'Empúries or that studied in Figueres. This people went to ours because there are some people that they choose a career that now they don't like. I am very undecided because I don't want that I will pass the same that this people. In Girona also we went to class of education primary for we want see the operating of this zone. Then we went to Girona until the hour for return a Castelló. This day I like more because I meet a lot of friends that long time I don't see.

Universe

I love the Universe. I love the films that related the universe or documentals of Universe. I love the idea of infinit, because demostring that all humans and animals or vegetals are something. If we comparate with the univers we can see that we are more little thing. Although If we think in idea of our galaxy. Our galaxia Milky way(Via Lactia) is nothing in comparate with the subtraction of universe.

One thing that I enjoy most is watching the stars in the night of summer. There was days that I am in my house and instead to watching tv I prefer watching the sky and contemplate the stars and her colours. The colours of stars and galaxys are amazing because We see a colour similar tto white, but If we see with atention we can see like the colours aren't hite.While I watch the sky for the night I think more question of this world and I think in the idea of infinit. I try to think in the universe and as Universe can be infinite or sometimes I questioning me that If the scientists are wrong and the Universe isn't infinite because they can't demostrating.

For this reasons I enjoy watching the sky and I have pass more time contemplating the sky, including when even it isn't night.

Presentation oral of my research project.

Well, now I am going to a little bit coment of my presenation oral and I will do autoavaluation part for part.

Presentation
First, I did a lillte bit intruduction my presentation and I explained everithing more or less that I going to said next. For do this presentation I used a the power point do it for me. I believe that we did a correct presentation more or less using a simple vocabulary.

Body language and eye contact.
In this part I tried to don't see more a paper because the last presentation I saw more a paper and my mark down because I am more nervious and I don't remember that I have what said. And If we said of body contact I would put a six of ten.

Structure.
This part with a content I believe that are the parts that I have more mark because I used the same structure than the presentation oral the research project, and I will struggled a lot for to do my research project like other classmates.

Language.
This part I belive that it's can be a part that I have less mark because I didn't went to a extracurricular classes and I only know the vocabulary and grammar that I learnt in this clas and sometimes I don't remember!

Pronunciation and intonation.
This is the part that I have less mark because even I have noticed many errors in pronunciation.

Well, then the my autovaluation I believe that my mark is more or less a six or seven.

TRANSCRIPTION

Well, now I talk about how I did my research project and his parts more importants.
First I will do a little bit introduction and then I explain the different parts of my research project has and in the end the conclusions. I chose this topic because I like the Catalan history and also because this queen was born in my village that it's Fortià.
First part is life and situation of queen and second is study of play and all things related to the queen. And in the end the conclusions.
Well, now I explain life and situation of Sibila. In this part we can find:
- The biography of Sibila where I explain that she was born in Fortia on 1350. Then She got married with Artal de Foces. Thanks for this person Sibila meet a Pere III “el ceremonios”. Later Artal de Foces died the same year that wife of king: Elionor de Sicilia. Afterward king of Crown of Aragon got married with Sibila and she goes to court of the Crown of Aragon. Well, then the king dead and the king's son began to pursue and captured. In the end she is released with a pact and she dead in 1406.

Sir President Hu Jintao,

Your country has a problem. China is the most polluted country in the planet and I believe that you can do something to stop this. Unless you do something we weill give our chioldren a planet with very dangerous problems.

If your country continues polluted the nexxt years there will be a dangerous climate change and we won't live in this planet. For this reason it is very important that the politicians meet and find solutions. Another problem is the ozone layer will disappear and then this planet will be more dangerous, no only your country. You and your country are put in dangerous all the planet!

We can see like during the history we are changing the planet and every time we do more damage in our home, finally will we will finish destroying our home. If you need our help, you will inform please, It is very serious. I hope your answer.

Yours faithfully,

DAVID MARÍN

Bruce almighty

The film that I saw in the lenguage room was Bruce Almighty.
This film is a comedy and her famous characters are Jim Carrey, Morgan freeman, jennifer Anston and others. Jim Carrey is a protagonist with a bad luck that later he has a power of God. Her name is Bruce. Morgan Freeman is a God that he give her power to Bruce. Ans Jennider Aniston is a girlfriend of Bruce.

Bruce almighty is a very entertaining film and it's very fun, equal than other films that it do Jim Carrey. But this film has moments that are a little bit boring and repetitive but in general it's very fun. I laughed a lot when I saw this film with my classmates and I am sure that my classmates also are agree with my when I say that is very entertaining film. This is because this film explain that although you have more bad luck you have to watch in your wishes, because although you have all power of this world It doesn't want say that you will are happy or you will have a happy life.

In the end I will put a image of this film and a video for that your see If you are agree with me.

I went to figueres with my girl and with my friend Adrià almost avery afternoon and we never were boring and we always invented a way for enjoy ourselves. We went to cinema two or three times. The last time we went to see Avatar because I was told that this film has very good grafics and It was amazing.

Carnival Fortià!

Well, the last weekend it celebrated the Carnival Fortià. This Carnival is the last carnival of all. It began at twelve o'clock more or less and finished at six o'clock of night. Then the go in the all carnivals that I can I went for finished in this carnaval because it's my village.First, Guillem Sanz went to my house before dinner at 10 o'clock more or less. Later, Adrià also went to my house disguised and prepared for the party. Then Guillem and me went to disguise for the party. It's the first carnival that it don't do cold! but in the party there aren't more people equal that all years. For two years ago carnival of Fortià was amazing! The people weren't fitting in the civic center and had to open emergency doors! And the musics was the Hotel Cochambre that before were the best. But that year was only year that the fortia's party was amazing because usually it's very boring.This year I went to my house at five more or less because although more people says that Fortia's party were very boring I like this parties.

(the photo that I put is in carnival of sant pere because I don't have any photo in Fortia)
