Final reflection

My level of English isn’t excellent but I have learned a lot this year. Nowadays I understand more than the years ago, I think that my fluency is not very good but if we saw since the third of ESO, I can say that I have improve a lot. The blog is a good method to do writings and all we know and to improve the writings.

The best activity I can show my English was the exams because I do all I know. The writings are the other thing that I like because when I write them I put in the writtings all we have learned. The podcasts is the other one because I like a lot, when I recorded I thought for have I’ll say. The worst activity that I show my English is the oral presentation. I didn’t have luck, on day because I don’t study a lot, the other because I have a lot of nervous…

I think that I have learned with all activities we have done. I find really useful lots of things made in class such as listening to my classmate’s presentations, watching films in class and speaking about them in groups, listening songs and doing a little grammar exercises.

In a language all the varieties or things are useful to improve it. I’ve said that my worst part is the oral part but I find it useful to improve fluency and vocabulary.

Next year it will be a complicated year because we’ll be nervous for the selectivity and to get a good level in all the items: writing, reading, speaking and listening. I really like the reading part and the writing but the other two parts are so complicated for me. I really wish to get the level to get good marks.

My future

Currently, I study first of batxillerat. I hope I will pass this academic year; above all I have to pass another national test called selectivitat (in order to enter at university). But there is a lot of time for theses exams yet.

This year has been very difficult for me. I have gone from fourth ESO to batxillerat and the difference of level is very high. The first term I had a lot of work and I had to study so much, I fell chemistry but I had to study harder and harder in order to pass the exam. However I thought that I had already assumed the difficulty of batxillerat but I didn’t do it. The second term I was more confident than the first valuation, but I fell philosophy. Although this situation I pass the final exam. And the third term: I'm studying a lot of to pass all the exams.

My greatest wish is pass the second batxillerat with good marks. I know is too difficult but every year I pass all the subjects with good marks, why not now? The next year I'll put all my strength, my confidence and my hope for next year. I need enough mark of my degree.

Nowadays I don't know what subject I like the best. And less what degree I have to choose. At present I'm interested in the career of optics and optometry, because I love all around this kind. I'm looking all the possibilities to do this and take place in Madrid. But I also was interesting in chemist degree, because I like all associated with this. To choose my career yet, I have to pass so much time, but I cannot sleep.

I have to decide my future, but I thing that I'm child and do the selectivity and choose one degree for me is very big. I hope to pass the time quickly to stay in the degree and forget all related with the selectivity.

I wish that in my narrow future I could study what I want and that it like me a lot. I don’t know if study Chemistry or a Science degree. But one thing that I’m sure is that I will work hard to get it.

I will meet new friends and study in Girona or Barcelona and I will know different kinds of people.

I’m nervous about my future but I know that I have to get it alone with my effort.

Abortion

Artur and Yeray talked about abortion and its risks and the arguments for pro life and pro chose. They said that abortion has two types: the intentional one and the spontaneous. But Rebeca said to me that when the baby dies in the stomach in English it's called a miscarriage.

Their presentation was very good and interesting because abortion is very important to learn new things. There are 40 million abortions every year around the world. There are two methods to do it, the medical and the surgical methods. If one girl does it, there is a big chance of probability secondary consequences, because it's very dangerous for the foetus, such as deformities.

During pregnancy the baby and its mother can suffer some risks like infections or problems, or also the mother can cause psychological damage.

In Spain abortion is completely legal on request. Parents don't need any reason to abort. But the current government has promised to restrict them. But I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Everyone has to decide whether to have an abortion or not.

I think that natural abortions are not problematic because these things happen. But I don't agree with the people that have an intentional abortion. If the person doesn't want any baby the must use protection. But if the mother is very young or suffers from an anomaly I think they can have an abortion.

Before going to Valladolid

This weekend I'm going to go to Valladolid. I'm going to go with my family and my boyfriend.

Today evening I'm going to pack my suitcase. I don't have to forget my bathroom bag, my mobile charger, my night clothes and of course my high-heeled shoes phone and my trainers to walk, and the most important my mobile phone.

There we will probably to Palencia the first day and to Valladolid the other days. My friends told to me that in Valladolid there is a nice cathedral to visit. We will do there if we can. We would like to go in the main square famous fan its buildings and the town hall.

In the morning we will walk across the streets, we'll take photographs and buy souvenirs. At midday we'll eat every day at difference kinds of restaurants like typical ones to eat ''tortilla de patatas'', ''cocido'', ''pimientos rellenos'', ''cabrito'', etc. At afternoons we will relax a bit. We will take a good hotel with spa zone in order to swim and relax two or three hours. At evening we will visit Valladolid at night because the buildings were full of lights to atrack more tourists like us. We will stop the path in a balcony to take a drink or a coffee and talk quietly. At night we will combine dinner in the hotel or outside. After dinner we'll go in a pub or bar to relax and dance a bit.

I hope I like a lot the tripe with all my relatives and that we will spend a nice time, because today I have surfer the internet to online website forescast anal it will probably rain the first day.

My summer

I stay with my family in l'Estartit for two or three weeks every summer or I also spend one or two weeks more in Camprodon. My family love the mountains, the environment, stay close to nature, breathe clean air... But when it's summer and my sister and I love to go to the swimming pool or go to the sea. For this reason we stay half summer on the beach and the other half on the mountain.

Moreover, we can do something else, for example last summer I went to Sheffield in London. I stayed there three weeks and I learnt so much about English people, their habits, their religions and how they live too. Three summers ago I and my family went for a cruise. We went around the Mediterranean sea. I loved this trip because was one of the longest that we did together.

On my summer holidays I sometimes do nothing but at the same time I do many things. I said that because in the summer I do nothing comparing with what I do in winter sine I have a lot of exams, problems... and I don't have so much time to have a rest. Apart from school extra activities. I do a lot of things, moreover I look after my cousins my cousins and this is hard work. This is why in summer I like walkong on the beach, or sunbathing, I also love eating a ice-cream at night with my close friends or my family and above all have a nap.

To sum up, the summer is the best time of the year. I can do anything and I have a lot of free time. I'm so happy, I spend a lot of time with my friends and I enjoy so much. The heat is better than the cold. When you are hot spend all the day in the water and when you are cold you wouldn't do anything if you haven't got a heater.

Qualities than boy or girl

First of all, I must say that when you have a boy/girl friend is because you appreciate high all his/her way of being, personal qualities, physical appearance… But, on the other hand is true that there are aspects in which you look over by certain reasons depending on the person. 

On the one hand, I am going to talk about the importance the personal qualities and the way of being of your boy/girl friend. These aspects are the most important if he/she likes you by his/her physical appearance. The way of being of one person is the most important for one relationship, because, apart of the physical appearance, this is why a boy/girl likes you and catches your intention, because you always look for someone who is good person, sincere, that inspires you confidence, that is lovely... However, all these aspects are subordinated to the physical appearance, because for you look for these important aspects one person first must like you and not vice versa. 

On the other hand, is true that when you meet someone for first time, are not the personal qualities in which you look at, as you look is if that person is lovely and if he/she has a great body. Once this is accomplished, you intend to check everything said in the last paragraph. 

Finally, say that in my opinions both the physical appearance and the personal qualities have the same importance, but personal qualities come after that physical appearance.

London

London is a great mixture of cultures and languages. This is why I’d recommend it to everybody. The best way to travel to London is by an economic class flight. There are lots of flights from Girona to London Stanted or Luton every day. You’d better travel light and on your own. You shouldn’t go on a guided tour, London is easy to get around by tube (the tube is how London people called their underground). The cheapest way to travel by tube is buying the Oyster Card. 

 

London has lots of hostels and bed and breakfast to stay. I’d recommend to check into an hotel near King Cross St Pancras because is well connected and quiet at night. Hotels are not so expensive in this zone. 

 

You should definitely see the Picadilly circus in Oxford Street. Whatever the season that you go is always full of people. And close there it’s worth to enter to China Town to walk, smell and eat the typical confit duck in the Chinese restaurants. That’s good to know that China town becomes dangerous from midnight. Many thieves watch the clueless tourists.

That’s well worth walking around Hyde Park one afternoon when you are tired to buy in Harrods. Oh no! Harrods is the most expensive big store in London you’d better see but not buy anything.

That’s good to know the two biggest markets in London. One is Candem Town. You ought to go there in order to see lots of bizarre stores and all kind of food (Italian, Japanese, Indian food whatever you like is there). The other market is Covent Garden. It is full of street artists. Jugglers, contortionists and clowns are mixed in a big craft market. 

 

You shouldn’t get back from London without seeing the guards of the Tower of London. Their nickname is beefeater and they are always willing to take a photo with you. 

 

It isn’t really worth visiting Buckingham Palace because it is so expensive and you have to do a long queue at about 2 or 3 hours to enter in Palace. 

 

London Eye and Big Ben are two activities that you should do at night. It’s worth to take them a photograph to give as a souvenir when you come back.

Bring back souvenirs such as t shirts, pencils or red little buses. They put always the same slogan ( I love London).

I’ve already been to London. Have you been in London yet?
