Hi Sonia, I 'm your best friend David I'm in Catalunya growing organic products in an old farm. Every day I work for ten hours without break time in hard condition like in African countries.

Well, I sent you an e-mail last sunday in order to explain the reasons why next summer I won't come back to London, I'm so sorry my dear...Since I'm in the village I have learnt more about organic products than I could have learnt in my life staying in London. Here, people are more friendly that in the cities, everybody knows each other. I don't critizise your family because you are living in the city, nonetheless In Castelló I've never seen a fight or an argument between to people, perhaps because the probability is not the same.

Apart from these human attitudes I have enjoyed much gathering or collecting apples and potatoes. Therefore I propose you to come to Catalunya and forget the stressful lifestyle that you are suffering in London.

As well as desbribe the pictures that I have sent you I'm working too much, however the silence of the nature hasn't got prize. For this amount of reasons I hope that one day we can meet in the village.

I don't obligate you to come, because I know it's a diffcult desicion for you and both options are correct.

With love

David Bridges.

Self-evaluation

Presentation: 7
I agree with my classmates who think that, that day I was too nervous, because I didn't prepare it enough maybe... But for my surprise It was been better than I was thought in a first moment. However, finally I decided to do it, as a result, too many stops. My other problem was that I didn't see the people, perhaps because If I had seen them, I would have been too nervous.

Body language: 7
Well, my levels in English didn't let me to use high vocabulary, however I used the specific words about my research issue like reactive plaster, needle and others. In general good, but I think it would be better.

Structure: 7
Sincerely, the order of explanation was the correct, but instead the video I could have broght the material to pick up myself for example to explain better the method which diabetics still everyday. Definitely I have a 7 too in this part because I think I could have done different.

Content: nearly 30
Here it doesn't depends on my the mark, because maybe there were a variety of opinions about content. It depends on every person and if he likes the topic.

Language: 14
In my opinion I never use high language like other classmates, and it is a problem because in this case if I don't learn high vocabulary I won't improve my level and instead of good marks there will be normal marks. However, before every oral presnetation I revise the links.

Pronunciation:6
Well in this apart a lot of people have problems except natives and other good students. I don't have a matture pronunciation yet but I think it was good than other times. Sonia said me the words that I didn't said good and If my memory doesn't lie me, they are "hereditary", "issue", "characterized" and "prova" thats it is prove or test.

To conclude, maybe I put myself a high mark, but in my opinion the oral was better than the first.

Sorry people, for the moment I don t put the video but I am trying to do it.

Dear Mr Clooney
We would like to explain to our children the necessity to have a healthy without pollution planet. If they don't listen, they will have the consequences like the climate change, the global warming and other problems which contribute to diminish the quality of their lifes.

First of all, politicians should respect the environment, even though I know this is a difficult task because they have preferences like the economy or the industry whose actions damage the environment.

Secondly, In my point of view we should reduce de factory smogs and explain to the future genenrations the problems of this disaster. I think my personality can contribute to preserve the climate change but as much as the politicians. So in future years I will have more emphazy in this issue to preserve the popullation.
I ' m writing in order to explain that developing countries have less pollution in spite of developed countries who don't respect the environment and they produce big problems like acid rain exhaust fumes and more.
When I am older, I wil try to destroy these antienvironment attitudes.

To conclude, I hope the future generations will respect the planet better than their ancestors, I wonder if they will.

Yours sincerely

Francesc Farrés.

Oral Presentation: Plastic Surgery

Who made the perfect presentation? I evaluate the presentations together. In my point of view we used many resources like powerpoint, images, but we didn't used a video, sound and real material. Resources were focused in the topic , obviously, and

I think in difficult topics like plastic surgery they are very important to understand the meaning. I think the important problem was only the timming per person, because we spoke very fast. Sometimes I was looking the audience because the other day I was very nervous like the other classmates so the majority of time I saw the floor. I didn't read from my notes and I made a movement or gesture in my last viewpoint to make people notice the picture of a woman without ear. I think we organized our ideas in order of importance, for example I began answering the question: What 's plastic surgery, and after I explained the resources that are used in plastic surgery. We used markers markers to help the people, like first of all, secondly, on the one hand... on the other hand... I didn't do the conclusion consequently I can't evaluate it but I think Marta finished very well with qoutes.

In my opinion we introduced new information because plastic surgery isn' t a famous topic. The information wasn' t extensive but the viewpoints were justified and we showed a lot of examples. Sources were properly referenced and the message was clear. I think I used a normal grammar with future simple , present simple althought I didn' used past or other variety of times.

The vocabulary wasn' t poor but if I used more synonyms and expressions it was more correct. I used the connectors everytime, but, furthermore, also, however... and fillers to understand the pauses. Everybody knows me and my pronunciation isn' t wonderfull to compare with native people, Robin, Jake.. or people who has a good pronunciation like Marta, Julia and Claudia, but I think my pronunciation was comprehensible the other day. Sometimes I changed the tone of voice and I spoke in a fluid continum, only with one interruption. Well, I don't like put my marks but I think in this oral my mark was near 72,5 per cent. Byeee ;)

Are paper books dead?

In the world a lot of people read newspapers and the same of paper books and it 's better for sight. In my view there are many advantatges to read in papers.

First of all, old people have a tired sight, and when they arrive at home they want to read in newspapers or papers. Basically is better for the sight of different ages people.

Secondly, some people prefer buy paper books because is more echonomic, consquently only poeple who are rich would buy digital books. In addition paper books are a folkloric and tradicional objects. Sometimes these books have a wonderfull smell.
Furthermore, people can write in some pages if the books are their property, besides paper books have a magic yellow colour that show the long age of this.

In conclusion, I think paper books will never die so people will read at the same time of digital books.

REC

Is a terror story about a firefighters who went a house of an old woman. Firstly I thinked the firefighters went to the house to help a people because there was an accident or a fire. Good story and bad end.

Last year I watched a horror film with my family. Every friday in Channel plus we use to watch a funny film but that day I stayed in my soffa. At 10 o ' clock began a stange report about firefighters and I didn't understand what was happening and a minutes later I know the topic of these report, the report was the film. The film talked about a firemans who went in a house because a grandmother who was bitten for an ill dog. This grandmother bit another persons of the house and they were ill. Was a mental illnes called rabies. The firefighters get into the house and an hour later the majority of firefighters had rabies. Police closed the house but that was no good for the firefighters becuase they were closed into a terrible house. Everybody was died and that friday night I couldn't sleep XD.

In the film there was terrifying sound effects, violence, althought is a interesting film for people who likes terror films. I like the topic of surprise, spontaneous actions for example when everybody stayed in the house, and suddenly, someone switched on the lights and began the best terrifying part. The characters choosed are prefect for film.

I didn' t like the movements of the camera, and the quantity of blood was excesive. Sometimes the speciall effects were untrue consequently there were a lot of shocking moments. Furthermore in the film didn' t appear the music.

In conclusion, I think the film is not bad, Ok I recommend for people who like terryfing movies.

*People who saw REC 2 said to me that the film is worse than the first. I never will see a horror film in channel + again.

Are the exams now too difficult?

In Catalunya, the exams are more difficult than other parts of Spain.
In my opinion, doing catalan language is much more difficult than the majority of languages.

First of all, there are a lot of words which people have problems. In addition, the marks of people who went to catalan centers of Batxillerat are better than the other Spanish parts, this is not a coincidence.

Secondly, a lot of people who begins batxillerat, later they failed them and it's too difficult because only point the exams. Furthermore, poeple who have doing scientifics are very stressed every day. Maths, chemestry,... and others.

To sum up, I think that the exams are excessive and very difficults, if anyone studied the last day before the exam, he will probably fail the exam.
