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. 

Climate Pact Recognizes Rights, Now the Work Begins

Nowadays 195 countries adopted a new global agreement on climate change. This is the first global agreement which is addressed to that concerns.The main objective of the agreement protects the people who are more exposed to effects of climate change and another concern is save the glaciers. But for doing it, in climate-related actions, we have to save the protection of natural ecosystems and food security.

The countries who negotiated the deal are focus on bear binding legal obligations to respect and fulfill the rights of their people. I said respect the rights of the people because the obligation of a govern is protect the people who live in their country. 

That is a big step, but the big step is help countries adapt to climate change and above everything help marginalised populations, because if we don't do it they won't can participate in the agreement.

NEW

Vocabulary:

Deal - acord

Fulfill - cumplir

Bear - suportar

Is jealousy natural? Are prenups necessary?

Is jealousy natural?

Before discuss if the jealousy is natural or not, I have to establish what means it. Be jealousy isn't a mental illness. Be jealous is state of being jealous.

For many people be jea bond with the people who have around.

loss is a natural way to protect our 

I think that we are naturally jealousy depending on the kind of relation established. If the relation involves a person who is very  important and have  an essential role in your life, is naturally be jealous or have a minimum  interest or preoccupation to this person. But if the role isn't important you don't have it.

For that reason I think that in a relationship is natural have jealous but exaggeratedly.


                                                                                    Are prenups necessary?


A prenup is an official document signed by two people before they get married that says what will happen to their possessions and children if they divorce.

Prenups are very controversial due that we have to know the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
- Protects your interests in business
- If one of the couple has more debts, when you break up you don't have to pay these debts.

Disadvantages:
- Can build up suspicion between the couple.
-Can be difficult imagine how you going to solve the big problems on your future live.

I think that is not necessary do a prenup if you are a normal person without business. But if you are a businessman, soccer player... I think that can be useful in some situations.


Vocabulary:

Bond - vinculos
Controversial - conflictiu
Debts - deuda
Suspicion - desconfiança

Human right

These days the human rights is a trending topic because we are infringing them. The human right are the rights you have simply because you are human.

They are created in 1945 in Paris for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and nowadays we have 30. 

The article 5  say:

"No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."

I don't know about these human right because it is a break every day. We have the evidence of that human right is violate by 102 countries. In Europ the main countries where is break is in Rusia and Turquia. In Rusia is used to get confessions. In the United Kingdom when he found a terrorist, they send the terrorists to other countries where the torture is legal. Also in Spain we have cases where torture is used by the police. 

I think that human right is difficult to respect in terrorism situations or extreme situations.

Vocabulary:

Punishment - castig o sanció

The trip to London

Last week I went to London for four days. We had to take a bus on thusday at 2:00 a.m. for the early flight from Barcelona. We flew at 6:00 a.m. with Ryan Air I sat in the middle of the plane, in the window seat.

When we arrived in the United Kingdom we had to show our passaports and then take a bus which lasted two hours more. We arrived at the hotel at about 12 o'clock my frist impression of London was bad the streets were full of rubbish.

The trip started very cold but we went to Big Ben. It was bigger than I imagine. We were very tired because we hadn't slept and finally at night we play poker at the hotel.

We were still tired from playing poker very late. But on this day I saw the best part of th trip, the Natural History Museum. Also at the Museum I remember so many dinosaurs. Later at the Science Museum we played the interactive game.

This morning toke the underground to Camden Town Market. There were many band playing and street foot stalls. I had lunch on the street, pizza and a kebab bread.  There were a lot of people and a lot of different things to see. We arrived at about 11 and we spent the day in Camden.

In the evening, we went to the Musical Charlie and the chocolat factory based on the Story of Roald Dahl. The most impresive thing was that the lead boy actor was only like eleven years old. I understand the show but they did jokes and we couldn't understand it.

Our last day, was a free day so my friends and I went to Chelsea football Stadium. We went to the shop and the official T-shirts were 20 punds. That was strange because in the street they were 40 punds. Because of that we buy some Chelsea  T-shirt. Later we go to a verry big park, Hyde Park and there were so many people doing diferent  sports. Also we went to Pizza Hut and after that, back to the hostel an then home.

In the end, I thought the trip was really good. We did a lot of things in only four days and I spoke some English . The trip was well organised and we liked the fact that we had free time for ourselves as well.

My research project

This research project is based on the study of how the conditions of the environment afect human beings.

 For do it I had to compare a whipped habitat with an appeased one to be able to see how affects to the hidrodynamism of the zones as well as algae. Moreover I had to compare morphologic features of the fish depending on the habitat they live in. Acordigly I had to identify and analyze every living being due to I prove the existense of a big biodiversity in Cap de Creus.

My study is based on two transsects. A transsect is a rectangular shapped area where data is collected systematicallt.

Oral presentation

In my opinion I have a good presentation because I use fotos which have a good quality and which are visually appealing. As well I have a correct body language and eye contact.
Above everything I have to improve my fluidity especially when I explain what means transect and the first objectiv. Also I have to progress in my pronunciation. Moreover I was nervous and a result of that I can't stop of waggle.

Looking back

My old blog
1.  Can you see an improvement on your level of English in the past year/s?  Where, for example?Yes I improve so much, now my english isn't perfect but last year was a complitly desaster.In my old blog I repeat some words all the time and my posts are very short, nowadays my posts are like 200--300 words. Also now I can use more verb tenses and conditionals.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English? The your-says is the best activity because you use the english for somthing you like, and with this way is easy learn english.

3. Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why? 
The most useful is the phrasal verbs because with that your english is more professional and you have more synonymous to use. Also presentations are useful because you practice the speaking and you can improve your pronunciation.

4. Which activities did you NOT find useful to learn English? Why not? 
In my opinion I think that news are not useful, because we learn english with the news but are boring and because of that we don't pay attention to that when we do, with the news we learn more slowly.

5. Which activities would like to do again next year to keep on improving your English?

The activities which I like and we would do next year is watch films and listen songs in english. Because the classroom is more funny and we pay attention and we improve on own level of English.

Oral presentation

This time I do the presentation alone and I was nervously. I have to improve my pronunciation because I repeat the same mistake in every presentation.

Fashion Quiz

Librarian

42% Flamboyance, 32% Originality, 41% Deliberateness, 36% Sexiness

[Tasteful Conventional Random Prissy]

You don't pay too much attention to fashion and far be it from you to spend hours on designing outfits which could shock your friends. If you ever shock them it's by how little you care about the clothes you're wearing. The only thing you pay attention to is not to look ridiculous. You don't need to draw attention wherever you come but you definitely need to know you are not the object of jokes. You are happy to blend in. I'm sure this approach leaves you a lot of time and energy for more interesting things than fashion.

The opposite style from yours is Catwalk God(ess) [Flamboyant Original Deliberate Sexy].

All the categories: Librarian Sporty Hottie Office Master Uptown Girl/ Boy Brainy Student Movie Star Fashionista Glamorous Soul Fashion Enemy Bar Cruiser Kid Next Door Sex Bomb Hippie Kid Fashion Rebel Fashion Artist Catwalk God(ess)

You scored 42% onFlamboyance, higher than 53% of your peers.

You scored 32% onOriginality, higher than 4% of your peers.

You scored 41% onDeliberateness, higher than 11% of your peers.

You scored 36% on Sexiness, higher than 13% of your pee

I don't agree with someones of this concluion  for exemple when it said: " far be it from you to spend hours on designing outfits which could shock your friends" I don't agree because I wear according my pleasure and not with the pleasure of my friends.

But I agree whwn it said: "You don't need to draw attention wherever you come". Take it for granted when I wearing I dont think abaout what capture more the attention, I wear according to my pleasure.

Austrailia

We have a better presentation than the first because now we use prezzi.
We think so have a good presentation because it have many color and impresives pictures and it have good structure. But in the begining  we are moving because we were are nervous.

Personality quiz animal

The result of this test for know my personality  is:
I am quiet, observant, thoughtful and sensitive.

ISFJs are quiet but are observant and tought I agree in this. But I don't agree when it said ISFJs don't meet many people because I am not the most popular of high school but neither meet ten persons, I meet enough people.
Also it said we are inctedibly sensitive and trustworthy this is the thing that  I agree the most because I consider a person sensitive and trustworthy.
Too it are interested in maintaining order and harmony, I agree but depend, because when I do anything I am order, but  I don't need my bedroom in order.

World war Z

In this film apper a new illness. This illness transform de humans in zombies. The main character is a retired military and he help to find the remedy.

When the main character start the search they go to many country but they didn't found the cure. All the contries are infect. One day when they land in a military base the cientist dead, for this reason the main character have to found the cure.

My favourite part is when the character are capture in the laboratory, he choose a jar with an illness and he inject it for can go out and in that way the zombies don't attack him, but he doesn't know what is the illness who inject him. If is a wrong illness he dead.

The main character is Leonardo Di Caprio. The effects of this film are very good. This film have action and  intrigue.

I didn't like the part when the cientist dead because the way who dead is very stupid because die for slip when the world is full of zombies...

In my opinion this film have ***
