Reflection of all year

During the course, we have done a lot of activities in English. Some of them we had done before and others were new.
I think I have improved since Semptember, especially when I was writing composition. Before I didn't use the conenectors and now I used them a lot more, Sometimes I looked up words on the translator I have also learnt to order the sentences correctly.
The activities that have best shown my level of English are the blogs and the listening, but most of all the blog, Because I looked for information. In general I think everything has een useful , but some more than others.
I enfaged the language class room, because I could watch films and I could listen to the listenings with a friend, which is more enjoyable.

As in the power point, the important things were written.I sometimes gestured my hands. The ideas were in the order that I chose, because I spoke about a organization and information about the customs.I made the speech I without pausing.

This article affects the people around me because most of them won't to go to university.
Personally I'm not sure if I want to you to university yet.
It is important to Know about public universities because the private universities are really expensive.
IN Conclusion IN my point of veiw I think that all universities should be public, so, that everybody has the chace to study what they want.

We haven't learnt respect the world

We haven't to respect the world because at this moment there are a lot of problems in the world, like the enviromental contamination and wars.
Moreover we haven't learnt to respec the people.  A lot of people have differents ways of seeing the world and perhaps they'll never respect the world.

Neverthess we think that this can e soved so, there are organizations like the Red Cross or te United Natios that wan to solve this problem.

Inspite of this , these oganizations are rn by very important countries in the world,so, they are everrun agnst them seleves.
On the one hand they are always helped by people if they have food, water medication etc.
As a resolt in the world there are a lot of injustices and people don't look after the world.
In conclusion I think that every body could do more to help toto conserve the world in which we live.

The peacekeeping forces of the united nations are sent to several regions, ( which have recently finished a war) so that they can help to keep peace. As the Unit nations doesn’t have an independent army, the armies are supplied by different states, but taking part is optional. The authority to send or withdraw the peacekeeping forces is in the hands of the government who sends them.

The security concil usually establishes and defines the peacekeeping operations.

To establish a new mission 15 states have to vote in favour, however if China, Usa, Russia , France or United kingdom vote against, the proposal fails.

All the members have to pay the corresponding part for the activities of peacekeeping. The countries who send soldiers and equipment are repaid by the united nations.

Film

The lord of the rings

This film is very exciting because there are a lot of adventures. In This film there are two boys who have to burn a ring but it is very difficult because other people want ring. At night is magic because when you put on the ring, you becoe obsessed.

First they get to place where they can burn the ring, after they have a lot of adventures and are nearly dies.

In my opinion it is my favourit film because in this film there are very good special effectsand in the film there are a lot of fights at the same time.

Furthermore this film shows you that anybody can be dangerous and even though you are little you can be brave. However strength is important.
In conclusion there are a lot of very beautiful places and a lot of things happier.

Studies

In Catalonia children normally start school when they are 3 years old It is compulsory to go to school until you are 16 years old. After 16 you can study mare and go to university if you want.

However, there are a lot of people who wnat to study, but they can't because their parents can't afford it, on the other hand there are other people who  can studut they don't want to because they are just lazy . Moreover, there are people who really like studying and they study until they are 25 or older. As a result these people usually find a good job.

In conclusion I can say that if young people study they will have a good future and also they will have more culture and knowledge before leaving school.

Manias

I hate sleeping with my socks on, they bother me so much, If there is any light inside the room, I can't sleep, I must have the doors and windows closed and my computer must be turned off.
I hate it when people agree with me instead of trying to understand me, I don't like it when people have some fixed ideas and nothing can make them change their minds.
I make sure several times that I have closed the door.

When I'm having a shower I graduate the water while I'm showering.
I'm always cracking my fingers.
After playing sport I bite the skin around my nails.
I always go onto the field last when I'm going to play a match.
I bite my nails when I'm nervous.
I wear my socks inside out.
I like to see things in pairs. If there are three cokes in the fridge I have to drink one.
When I have a lot of coins I make piles of ten of each coin.
I roll up my sleeves and roll them down again.
When I laught I scratch my body at the same time.

News

This article is very important because it speaks about the life of pep Guardiola. Guardiola is the best trainer in the world at the moment , he won six titles in one year.

Guardiola started training Barcelona B in 2007, but the following year, he began training the first team in Barcelona.

It is important for me because I like football and I am always well informed about everything.

Moreover when I was a child I liked watching pep guardiola on tv and when he began to brain barcelona. I was very happy this article affects me because I like Real Madrid and I don't like barça to have a great trainer.

I would like Pep guardiola to be the trainer of the Real Madrid.

It affects me because every likes football and they always argue about this.

The personality

Why people are what they are?

I think that people start to be what they are because of influences, the places where they live or the friends they have etc.

However I think that everybody can change his personality, if they won't to.

Firstly all childrien begin a have a personality, and these yeras are important for the future, murthermore during these years the mind is much " younger" and can have misteken ideas.

However everyperson is different and they see the world in different ways and , of course, they have different personalities.

I think that there are no two people with the same personality.

A lot of people have opposite personalitis and they don't get on together.

FInally I think that other people can think differently because they have different personalities.

In conclusion personality is influenced by a lot of causes like: the friends and studies etc. but, a mature person perhaps isn't influenced.
Everyperson is a world.

Real Madrid- Fcb Barcelona

 A lot of people watched this match on TV and went to the stadium. Moreover a lot of people watched this watch even though they don't like football.

Perhaps it was the best match in the world because barça and Madrid, of course have the best players.

Nevertheless the champìons don't always win.

Nowadays 300.000.000 is spent between the two. Moreover this match was very important.

As a result this match wwas watched by 270000000 people in spain.

The final score was madrid 0  barça 2, but in this match anyone could have won.

When a team wins the people like to celebrate but often there are fights and people cause damage.

As a resolt at the football matches there is sometimes violence and the young people get a bad image.

So, we have to avoid this.

Credit Cards

Credit Cards have avantatges and inconveniences. On the one hand  Credit Cards are positive because you can buy Things without having use cash, but sometimes people spend and spend and they don't worry about money.
Credit Cars are also positive because when you go to another country, you can buy with Credit Cars without changing money. So, to have a Credit card you can't be inmature. A lot of them are not responsible enough to have one.
I think that one Credit Card is positive but there are people who have a lot of Credit Cards and then it is difficult to control them. Moreover, a lot of people seem to forget, that when tey use credit cards to pay for fhings; they will have to pay for these things at the end of the month, Nowadays with the crisis, using credti cards can cause a lot of problems for people.

Fashion

Fashion changes continually because the preferences of the people's changes over the years. For exemple before people wore very long stgraight trousers. Thet also wore short t-shirts. On the other hand nowadays people wear tight-fitting trousers and sometimes short trousers. Also nowadays they wear baggy clothes. But fashion does not always change because sometimes colurs go out of fashion but black and white is always fashionable.

When you go the shopping normally the shops adapt to the fashion, but usually there are people who don't change there fashion because they think that this fashion is the best. For exemple: The hippies and motorbikes. Clothes are very expressive, but sometimes you can find shops where clothes are very cheap because they are made on a big scale. Moreover, in some countries there are shops that sell second -hand clothes and these clothes are much cheaper

Internet

Internetis the most important technology nowadays, becasuse we can communicate with a lot of people around the would.
With internet we can look for information about a lot of subjects and help ourselives a lot.
On Internet we can find a lot of chats,where are can speak to a lot of people free, in different contries.
Nowadays everybody uses internet, the company has pages where they give informated about this company, So it is free advertising. But, also the people can have pages where they contact with friends, take photos, videos and a lot of writing.
I personal use the internet everday because I can speak with a lot of people that I can't often see. For exemple: my brother.
Also, I have a pages where I take videos photos and a lot of writings
For exemple. Facebook and fotolog.
Sometimes I listen to the music on an page internet that is called youtube. In youtube we can see pariculary videos and particulary video clips of music.

Opinion

I think that a person's character becauxe a person who's chatty is very expressive.

I don't think that a person's character

I'm not really sre if a person's actions cantell about a person's character.

Sometimes it seems to me that being good.looking has a lot of advantages because a lot of people are famous fout the face. their beauty./ their good looks!

I'd say that being nice people is very important because everydody like's people that are saciable, sympathtic and balanced.

In my opinion it is important to be a nice person because beauty.

As faras I'm cancerned, it's really important that a freind is sociable.
