FINAL REFLECTION

When I started 1st batxillerat my enflish was different, because for me was complicated when I was express. Normally, I express myself with a basic vocabulary. During these two years of high school I have improved my vocabolari and my way of expressing myself when writing an essay. Now, I feel much difference when it comes to writing, because every time it costs less to me to express myself or how to say things. One of the points that cost me more to improve me is when I have to speak with angglès front of my class or my teacher, because I've still prefer white without knowing how to say things.

One technique that has helped me has been to several blog posts each quarter, because now I know what my skill level when creating a post. Really, I feel satisfied with my English better, but I know that I've ever further improve.

MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE IN 2013.

If I had to highlight my best oral presentation would be a first presentation of high school. This presentation we did me and my classmate Moha. In this presentation, we talked about obesity that are in spain and the consequences of this disease. I emphasize this because the best presentation I had no problem in talking to my colleagues, so to share it with another I felt safer. This oral presentation is one of the best prepared we were and where we get our top marks from all other presentations. This oral presentation I have not posted on the blog because I did not know how to upload videos.

As written essay, I emphasize the editorial I wrote about my family. In this essay, I explained how my family was, what my family means to me and I spoke a little of each family member. One member I spoke more than I was my sister Rachel because she is a great person and I always have a problem it is the first to help me. I think this is the best writing because when I do it took to write, so I guess these people knew very well.

Finally, I would say that for me this English course was very interesting because I learned new things, new vocabulary, and I could improve my English in general. In the future, I would like to continue studying the language, to avoid the ever-band. If I win lot of money working and I had time, I would like to travel to England for a few months and to learn more English well, but this costs many money!

·Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

- I'm not familiar with the death penalty. In some cases this human right is accepted when sentencing a person who has caused much harm as rape, robbery, murder ... In other cases the death penalty is not accepted because in some countries to apply to cases where the death penalty is too strong a solution by the level of crime.

NEWS; HUMAN RIGHTS

This news talk about Human Rights. Bangui are Members of the Seleka rebel coalition have committed grave violations against civilians, including pillage, summary executions, rape, and torture.

This event took place in another country, this was not Spain. Rape, murder and torture did not Seleka are common events in Spain. Usually, in Spain we can find more cases of rape than torture. 

If I were a rich person, I would travel to this countries and I would save all the people woho were innocent and I would take to place safety. I think that these situations can solve If the goal to politicans wasn't mony and the ONGS can work better, because these haven't got a money.

IF I HAD MONEY AND TIME WHERE WOULD I LIKE TO GO?

First of all and to begin with this dream, I have to say that if I had money and time I would like to go around the world and I would visit all cities as well as I would like to know something of all cultures.

As far as I'm concerned, it widely known that if I have to choose a ple to go with a lot of money and a lot of time is New York. In New York, I suppose that I will be really happy, because I love to go shopping and I can improve my english. I've never gone to this big city as if I go to New York I will come back with a lot of bags, but on the country, without any money because the clothes make me crazy.

On the other hand If I went to New York I had seen all the shops and I has bought all the clothes as well as all the shoes that I wanted. Also, I would liketo go to Mykonos to relax my body and to sunbathe what's more to get a tan. When I had got a tan, I would like to go to Ibiza to take my best night parties with all the young people like me.

Eventually, I would like to conclude by saying. I would like to Amsterdam, Cádiz, Caribbean, Tintoretto...as I have said, I would like to around the world.

HOW THE USE OF THE INTERNET HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES?

First of all and to begin with this option essay about how the use of the internet has changed our lives I have to say that, nowadays, the internet is a part really important and habitual in our lives, up to a certain point, because we use it without thinking that it didn't exist some years ago.

To tell the thuth, I dare say that I'm not sure if the internet is absolutly good for our lives, because for instance, a lot of guys have had interned addiction problems or don't control wich information they wouldn't have to put on the website. As far as I'm concerned, it widely known that the internet is the best advance for us because is we use it we can know a lot of information about diferent topics, chat with people who live far, work...

Actually, the Internet is a really big tool to do a lot of things and if we use it correctly it can be the better source of information as well as to have fun but, however, if we use it wrong it may be the cause of the big problems.

Eventally, I would like to conclude by saying, we have to use internet as it gives us a lot of ideas and programs to do a lot of activities online moreover we have to mentalize ourself that we must be aware of not making us addicts, the sooner the better.

E-MAIL

From Sònia to Manel

Hi Manel!

I was thinking about you few days ago. I wanted to send an email to you but I didn't have a time. I'm really fine and you?

I can't belive that you and Moha are going to run for seven kilometres. It's amazing! You've never liked sport and you had a sedentary life! But It's a relly good option to decide practise sport.

First you should run few minutes every day to stayh in shape. It's important that you do housework like helping your father out in the garden, clean the house and finally you have to eat a balanced diet.

I hope that it will go perfect. I'd also love to hear your news!

Take care

Sònia


PD: I wish you were a professional sportman ot athlete hahaha!

FORMAL LETTER

C/Pujada Nº17 

Sant Miquel de Fluvià 

Girona – Spain 

Monday 10th May, 2013 

Barack Obama.
White House.
Washington- USA



Dear Sir Barack Obama,

I am writing to let you know my opinion about Human Rights in your country. I completely agree with them. I think they are really interesting and so we should take example of them and especially of the work you have been doing for your country until now.

I agree with Human Rights in the USA because I think that they are absolutely legal and what it is more important, there are equal laws for all the residents in the country. People can interact with people of all races without discrimination.

From my point of view, freedom is absolutely important nowadays. People must be able to express themselves without any fears.

I like walking on the street and see two children from different countries and different color of skin playing together. Here in my country, Spain, this is something not very usual. Most of the times, people discriminate immigrants because they weren’t born here. I think we should be more respectful towards all these differences and we should not be so arrogant.

To conclude, I would like Spanish people to take example of all these and avoid discrimination. I definitely think that the world would be better and people would feel happier.

Your faithfully,

Sonia Mesas.
