Description of a person!


Lee Evans,

Today I’m going to talk about him because I think that he’s one of the funniest English comedians alive. His ways of making people laugh are very different from other comedians, more than anything it’s the way he moves around the stage.

He can make so many faces and when he walks he can do it in a way that just looking at him can make you laugh until you start to cry.

I like him very much because I think that the things he says are funny but they’re true, he talks about real thinks that have happened and he makes a big thing out of it, he is a very clever guy.

You just have to look at him and you just see that by nature his just a very funny guy. His first appearance is, a quite skinny guy with an average height but he has got the funniest face ever, he has got like a monkey face and of course when he makes even weirder faces it makes you burst with laughter.

He moves up and down the stage like a mad man, and he sweats so much, he’s always very good dressed with a suit and some nice shoes too, but by the end of every show it looks like he has gone in the shower because he sweats so much, it’s incredible!

I really recommend you to watch him act one day, it’s so funny!

Dear Mis Pintó,

I’m going to write to you about some of my different points of view about this high school, some good but also some bad.
First of all I do agree that “tamagotchis” have immensely improved the behaviour students and the organization of a lot of teachers.
Then, I do not agree with the various subjects that are obligatory, there are far too many subjects making it impossible to really learn and concentrate on your own specialized subjects.
Now, I would like to say that I really do think that there are too many hours, not giving us enough time.
Therefore after high school there is a lot of work, I really do think that you have to be strong minded because psychotically the work is quite hard.
I would be very pleased if you read my different points of view and then give you different ideas to improve if possible.

I look forward hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Robin Monod

Oral presentation



For this oral presentation I used a Power point that had a lot of images to try to impress more my presentation, I think it was an attractive presentation but simple.
When I was up there speaking about my holiday I made sure that I was making eye contact with everyone and I think that I wasn’t that static, I think that I did move my arms quite a lot even if I was very nervous.

I organized my presentation from what I did there in day 1 to the last day there, I organized in how I got there, the hotel, the beaches…
I didn’t have to look up for information or anything because it’s a personal experience so everything that I explained when I was there they where true facts. I did talk quite a lot of what I did there some things in details and other things more superficial because there wasn’t really a lot of time to explain it all in detail.

When I was talking I was trying my best to make myself understood as well as possible, I did have a summary of vocabulary and fraises, do I was really nervous. I think that I did repeat a lot of words, fillers like, and or so…
I don’t think I had a lot of trouble with my pronuntation, I think that I was quite clear, I did do some mistakes, but that just was because I was really nervous.
I did change a lot my voice so then they pay more attention to me and to make them laugh too, make it more interesting.

I really don’t know my mark, because I was so nervous but I don’t think it was that bad, I think I made myself understood so maybe an 8 if I’m lucky?

That’s what I hope!

My opinion about the film


Film Thirteen, is quite a strong film to watch but it’s also quite interesting to see what teenagers can really do on those rebel years, not all of them but some do get bad influenced by others, just because they want to be cooler and change, be more mature and not so immature…

The girl in the movie Tracy, at first is a lovely, young and intelligent girl, but soon as she makes friends with a hot and popular girl called Evie. Everything goes worse.
Tracy before was quite a quiet girl, always did what was told and she just was a good girl, but she had problems at home with her family, and when she meets Evie she rebels against her family, by taking drugs, smoking, stealing, partying, drinking, sex and many other stuff…
She’s always so cross, she answers back to her mum like of she wasn’t anything, her new way to be for her, seems to be an easy way to forget all her problems and have the time of her life. This new life takes over very quickly, she doesn’t realize the harm she’s doing on the people around her and she becomes very selfish. She doesn’t really care about anything; she just does what she has to do to be popular and cool. I think that Evie makes everything worse by staying over her house, like if she was living there, the family don’t have the privacy to take time, talk and try to make things better.
Tracy becomes a very rebel teenager because it seems that she hates her life, her inner self is a very depressing and sad person, there’s always ways to deal with things but she decides to take the easy way.
Every individual acts in a different way in front of a situation, Tracy’s way is to forget her past and just do what ever she likes with herself because that’s her way to do things, she really likes to blame her family for all the bad things even if they try to help her in the best way possible.

Her past hasn’t been good, because she’s been living her life knowing that her mum was an alcoholic that her dad is always working and is never there for her and the mum’s boyfriend was a drug addict. Tracy hates them for that so she does the same as them because they can’t really say anything about that because they did it, she probably thinks that it’s normal.

Adrian Moole also has family troubles and he’s a teenager like Tracy, but he doesn’t act like Tracy, he doesn’t rebel. He wants to make things better by helping, just trying to do good things to see if he can make a difference, and it does seem to work better than Tracy’s way.
In the end Adrian does seem to be a happier teenager than Tracy, Tracy just destroys her life and she doesn’t even know about it until the end that she is so weak she can’t do anything and then that’s when she sees the reality of everything.

NEWS---- Animals!

CAT CARE

Since last year, there has been a cat organization (APDA), their objective has been to reduce the amount of stray cats in the towns of Costa Brava.
The problem is, people on holiday come here in the summer and feed the cats, so there’s a lot of food supply so there’s no problem. But when the summer season finishes, visitors from other countries go back home leaving the cats with no food supply. Here is the problem; cats are forced to scavenge for food wherever they can find it.
APDA look after these cats, they try to take stray cats and give them a good supply of food, they also try to sterilize all the cats so then they can reduce the number of cats.

GATHERIN PACE

The black and yellow tortoise, Hermans Tortoise is the only remaining native of the Mediterranean. There’s only 7000 left, the Centre de Producció are trying to increase the number of tortoises on our native lands.
Most of them have disappeared because of the human agriculture, reducing are woods and fires that are started by humans or natural disasters.
Now they’re trying to release back to the wild were they belong to try and save the population. It’s been prohibited to take these tortoises for a pet now; this also reduced the number of our native tortoises.

INCREASE OF JELLYFISH

This year there has been a huge increase of jellyfish in our beaches in Costa Brava. People have been warned, now there’s a flag to indicate if there’s jellyfish or not on our beaches.
Luckily there not lethal to us, just by putting vinegar or urine we can take the sting away, they tell you that you should rub it in fresh water, it’ll make it worse.
The cause of the increase is caused by human activity, by the global warming that changes the temperatures in the seas and also the overfishing activities there is.
Overfishing in our seas have reduced the number of red tuna and sword fish that are the enemies of the jellyfish, because of this jellyfish now don’t have a lot of enemies so the population has grown immensely.

The mad scientist and his creature


Once upon a time, there was a very intelligent student; he had a lot of knowledge. He always had very high marks, perfect marks, he didn’t even had to study, just listening in class he could remember it all at once, he was very hated by other students, teachers even heated him, because he knew more things than them.

He had no friends, know one wanted him, except a girl called Stacey. He left school because of the pressure, that sadness that he felt soon became anger, he wanted revenge for all of this, after all it wasn’t his fault he was to smart!
Years went by and everybody forgot him…

He became a mad scientist, he lived in a castle on the top of the mountain, there, the thunder was spectacular, the wind was powerful and the rain was intense, it was right next to his old town, know one form that town was brave enough to go to the scary castle. Know one ever knew what was going on in there.
The mad scientist was doing an experiment; the creation of a creature, a four legged giant eagle, so then, it could scare the people of the village away. His experiment came alive, thanks to an accident that has occurred in the process…

It was a wonderful but terrifying creature, the mad scientist was very proud of his new live creature, but he soon found out that it wasn’t that great, it didn’t obey the scientist orders. The creature escaped breaking the thick walls of the castle and it was heading straight towards the town!
It killed everyone, nobody made it. The mad scientist got there as quick as he could, It was to late do, when he got there, there where body parts all over the place, the roads where red, red of the blood of everyone…

He cried, it was very shocking to see familiar bodies and faces that he once knew very well, he even saw his only friend of his childhood, Stacey.
He was in so much pain, that he got a knife he fount on the floor covered with blood, he stabbed himself straight through his heart and slowly died in pain and regret of his creation and his vengeance.
