My english progress 2013 - 2016

If you compare my first post with the last, firstly, you will see the biggest difference, the size. The first is shortest than the second. The first redaction,  my dream, has 60 words. As opposed to that, the last redaction has 229 words. That is because now when I write a post I am more interested. In this age I write about things that they don't interest me and nowadays is opposed.

If we focus on the grammar, we will see that in the first post has so many mistakes. For example: "profecionals" is professional, "winner" is win, "grup" is group, "there is" is a there are...
Moreover, if we focus on vocabulary, we will see that in the second I have more diversity of vocabulary than the  first.

I remember that I have so many difficulties to write. Mainly because of I don't have the theory about who, that, which... and  as a consequence I only could write simple phrases. As well as I have problems with the pasts, the s of third person and the much or many. But in the actually I solve it.

In conclusion, I see a big improvement above everything because I learn vocabulary and phrasal verbs, I solve my problems and I give up the google traductor ( in 4rth of ESO I use it a lot).




My english competence in 2016

In my opinion, the best post of my blog is "The fear hunter of the ocean it's now the prey". Firstly I highlight the size the post. It has 400 words. I write a lot because I was very interested in this experiment. I think that is very important because if you are more interested in a post you will pay more attention due to that I will write better. Likewise, I think that is a better post than others like my dog or my dream because they aren't interesting.  In addition, I can't see any mistake and it has images and that do the post more interesting and not boring. It was a reportage of Discovery Max in English.

In my opinion, the best oral presentation is which I do in first of batchillerat about Australia. I think that is because the most important in a  presentation is the Powerpoint or Prezi  and in this presentation the Prezi was so good. It has beauty pictures and colours and it hasn't any text. Besides it was the longest presentation which I do, it was 12 min. As well as we use vocabulary like bit by bit and we use words difficulties to pronunciate like spices.

TED TALKS: Lisa Nip - How humans could evolve to survive in space

When human began to explore space found our limit. We explored the woods and the Jungle and we learned to survive. Now we have used our resources. Nowadays we have certain limits on the earth, in the future we might need to find another place to live and this could be other planets.

We have to think about transport, atmosphere and water. A problem is how to take provisions from Earth and how to grow food for ourselves. The talk says that the difficulties are for example that the human body is not adaptable after one year.

The bones and muscles waste in microgravity. She suggests that robots can help and biology and microbe technology can develop to help us change the human body in the environment.
With microbiology, we could change the genetics of the human body. She says we have made GMO's genetically modified organisms with which get rice and food modified. She says that human is evaluating, like bacterias and organisms. It is not a question of how, but a is a question of when our genetic evolution is finish for do it.
I think so many people dream about this, but the way to do it is very difficult. We need to evolve and find a way to manipulate the human genetic code that is safe and without mutations unwanted.

Unwanted - indesitjat.

White Shark Population

When the bald eagle population grows so many people think that was good news. But what happens if the population of predators like white sharks grows?

People are frightened because they think it is dangerous to swim in summer in the sea. For example, the surfer Mick Fanning was attacked during a race in Carolina (U.S.A). 
The sharks change their behaviour with global warming. There is a very important paper about the sea environment because if the ecosystem changes, shark populations can increase and so other fish species fall. Some species have declined by 90%.


But there always have been shark attacks but now with smart phones we see more attacks and we worry more.

Animal protection laws succeeded in saving mammals like seals and sharks but now they are closer to our beaches. We can coexist if we have information and people are talking about using drones to see sharks.

I think that it's true. We have to change our minds and diminish the possibility of shark attacks. A good idea doesn't put a fish farm near the coast.

Bald eagle - tipus d'àliga

My sports history

In 2003, when I am 5 years old, my parents start to search a sport which I like. This year I start to practice swimming in Empuriabrava. One year later I give up swimming and I start basketball in Joana d'Empúries. We were a little team which don't play matches. My coach was Jordi.

The next year I start to play basketball in the team Splais. This year my coach as  Carlos. Carlos has been an important person because he teaches fundamentals movements of basketball.
The  following year I go to the Castelló and these years my coaches were Jordi and Jose.
The period of Jose was is my favourite because we won always. But last year of Jose was bad. For this reason, two years ago, we change of coach. In 2014, I start rowing and my intentions were given up the basketball and follow rowing, but in rowing we aren't enough.

Carlos becomes own coach again. Moreover, this year the people of one year younger sing up to own team. This year was wrong and because of that the beast players of the team go to others teams. That discourage me, besides the year 2015 was the worst. For this reason I give up the basketball. Nowadays I start swimming again.
