Final evaluation

We are finishing first batxillerat and how is normal we are in the worst weeks of the year. But all isn't negative, in a few weeks we will have finished the year and we'll can enjoy the summer (badly with an enormous weight in back named research project ^^').

The first think I'm done to write this final evaluation has been see all portfolio. At the beginning, my posts were shorter than now (all than in anywhere, my blog posts) and I think that teacher had to spend more time correcting my mistakes (I'm sorry!). In general I think blog and portfolio have been different ways to work, so amazing!

Step to step, I've seen my improvement (more or less) in all activities we've done. In the first term I'm not able to listen a song and write all his lyric, now yes and if I can done it, would be I want to improve. I think writtings and listenings have been the most important ways where we've learnt, because in writtings we have to show all our knowledge about english language and in listenings, we have to show how we know the language in practics. Other activities have result very amazing and interesting, as oral presentations and podcasts to improve our speak for example.

I think next year we will improve a lot more about english secrets. Because this year have been a surprise box, the blog, the podcast, three oral presentations... It not seems, but we've worked a lot!

We have almost learnt to respect our world. Do you agree?

Every day we open tv where there are some news remembering us that we are in a bad crises. But people who do these news know population knowledge about troubles in our world? People don't know totally the contamination there is because of first world industries.

It seems to me that news have to inform to population, more than what they inform, about the principal issues that are doing the blue planet, the black planet. I think that Kyoto's treated has been the only one think have done more contaminant countries to favour the world. Badly, United States is the first country in the contaminant rank and don't seems that want to stop his pollution.

In addition, I think that there are a lot of people without know the consequences of not respect the world. For this reason they don't respect its and contribute to make a worst world unintentionally. These people don't open tv news ussually and they don't know what are doing rich countries with the world where we have to live.

To sum up I want to say that people who don't know planet circunstances isn't because they're not informed, because simply they don't open tv news and newspapers. If not because they don't want to know what planet is afected by our hands. The respect of world will can increase, but we won't be able to erase the actions the humanity have done. There isn't any way to slow down. If the future discovers don't know a new place where the humans can live, we won't have time to see the Sun exploits that already we will have exploited our planet before.

Beatles - Do you want to know a secret?

You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen, do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you
I've known the secret for a week or two
Nobody knows, just we two
Listen, do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you



Mai sabràs ho molt que et vull
Mai sabràs ho molt que m'importes
Escolta, vols saber un secret?
Em promets no explicar-lo?
Acosta't, deixa'm dir-te'l a cau d'orella
Dir-te les paraules que vols sentir
Estic enamorat de tu
Fa una setmana o dues que ho sé
Però ningú més ho sap, només tu i jo
Escolta, vols saber un secret?
Em promets no explicar-lo?
Acosta't, deixa'm dir-te'l a cau d'orella
Dir-te les paraules que vols sentir
Estic enamorat de tu

Beatles - Yesterday

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half to man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday



Ahir
Tots els meus problemes semblaven tan lluny
Ara és com si estiguessin aquí per a sempre
Oh, crec en l'ahir
De sobte
No sóc ni la meitat de l'home que era abans
Una ombra es posa sobre mi
Oh, de sobte va arribar l'ahir
Per què va haver d'anar-se'n?, no ho sé
No m'ho va dir
Jo vaig dir una mica que no devia
Ara anhelo l'ahir
Ahir
L'amor era un joc tan fàcil
Ara necessito un lloc on amagar-me
Oh, crec en l'ahir
Per què va haver d'anar-se'n?, no ho sé
No m'ho va dir
Jo vaig dir una mica que no devia
Ara anhelo l'ahir Ahir L'amor era un joc tan fàcil
Ara necessito un lloc on amagar-me
Oh, crec en l'ahir

Jethro Tull - Living in the past

Happy and I'm smiling,
Walk a mile to drink your water.
You know Id love to love you,
And above you theres no other.
Well go walking out
While others shout of wars disaster.
Oh, we wont give in,
Lets go living in the past.

Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend.
Now theres revolution, but they dont know
What theyre fighting.
Let us close out eyes;
Outside their lives go on much faster.
Oh, we wont give in,
Well keep living in the past.



Feliç i somrient,
Passejo una milla per a beure la teva aigua.
Saps que m'agrada estimar-te,
i per sobre teu no n'hi ha cap altre.
Bé vaig a sortir-hi
Mentre el crit d'uns altres era de desastre de guerres.
Ah, que el costum presenta,
Vam Deixar van a viure en el passat.

Una vegada que solia participar
Cada noi i la noia era el meu amic.
Ara hi ha la revolució, però ells no saben
Que la lluita de que son
Deixi'ns liquidar els ulls;
Fora de les seves vides continuen molt més ràpid.
Ah, que el costum presenta,
Bé seguim vivint en el passat.

Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all-time loser,
Headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old charlie stole the handle and
The train wont stop going
No way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations one by one.
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun.
Hes crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old charlie stole the handle and
The train wont stop going
No way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls.
He picks up gideons Bible
Open at page one
Old charlie stole the handle and
The train wont stop going
No way to slow down.



El regirar la bogeria
Alè de la locomotora,
Corre el perdedor de tots els temps,
cap a la seva mort.
Se sent el pistó raspat
Ruptura de vapor en el seu front
Vell Charlie va robar la maneta i
El tren sol deixar d'anar
No hi ha manera de frenar.
Ell veu als seus fills saltar
En les estacions d'un en un.
La seva dona i el seu millor amic
En el llit i divertir-se.
Ell rastreja en el passadís
En les seves mans i genolls
Vell Charlie va robar la maneta i
El tren sol deixar d'anar
No hi ha manera de frenar.
Que escolta el silenci aullant
Les captures, ja que queden àngels.
I el guanyador de tots els temps
el té per les boles.
Recull Gideons Bíblia Obert en una pàgina
Vell Charlie va robar la maneta i
El tren sol deixar d'anar
No hi ha manera de frenar.

My 3rd oral presentation

Oral presentation transcription

Critical issues

Africa's hunger is the consequence of a series of related factors. Africa is a very big continent, all the countries have a similar problem But there are four critical issues.
The first would be Decades of poorness in rural areas, which have little political power.
There is a lot of corruption in towns and cities in Africa. The poor government is a major issue in many African countries and one of the main issues for lack of food in the continent. Problems such as corruption, and nepotism can greatly effect further contruction.


Unchecked population growth

In some parts of Africa land is plentiful, and this is not a problem. But in others it has had severe consequences.
It has forced farming families to divide their land time and again to make space for other people to plant there harvest, and it’s so bad because there will never be a good crop.

72 percent of all africa's land is unplanable meaning that only 30 percent of all the land in africa is plantable and the nutrient levels have declined over the past 30 years.

Consequences
The result is that a continent that was self sufficient in food 50 years ago, is now a massive food importer. The book The African Food Crisis says that in less than 40 years tafrica went from being a net exporter of basic food to relying on food aid.

Thanks many charities like oxfam, ripple africa, sos children village ans score ethiopia many childrens lives have been saved, but if these charities were to run out of funding there would be a high rais in deaths in africa, so maby one day you to could give some money away.

Informal letter

Hi Pau!

I know your plans to study in USA but I think you can improve your choice by coming to Spain. I will be better!

You can set off going to relax to shops clothes. You'll come across a lot of universities that you can choose. Maybe you want to live in a residence, but if you live in a flat with partners you can break down and do a lot of things with them, because they will be living with you!

I think you can find out a lot of places to have fun. I know that every place is different but I'm living here for a lot of years and I've travelled a lot and I don't know any place better to study or work!

I wish you the best I'm sure it will be your decision!
