FINAL REFLECTION: MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE IN 2018

I think that during these two years I've improved a lot with my English.  A proof of that is that if I compare the first posts I made with the new ones there's such a difference between them. When I was in 3rd of ESO, my vocabulary was quite simple, and I made some grammatic mistakes that I wouldn't do them now. The posts were shorter than nowadays and I explain the news better than two years go. I've learnt a lot new words while I was writing these posts that's why every time I make them better.

Below, I'm gonna show you some more evidences of my best works during these years:


MY BEST ORAL WORK

Serious humour

That was my best oral work because I had to act with one of my best friends and we did it very good, and also because the jokes we had to represent were funny for the public who was listening to us. We also dressed up as a doctor and a patient and that was cool too.


MY BEST WRITTEN WORK

My best written work was a post I made in this blog and it was called "Do you think humour is necessary?". That was the best one I made because it was plenty of scientific vocabulary and a good writing grammar, and because of the fact that I needed to search a lot of news and information to write it, which added a plus in the essay.

Love song

LYRICS:

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
'Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every move
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you

(Chorus)

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard

(Chorus)

REFLECTION:

This song is related to what Romeo and Juliet feel for each other. The chorus of the lyrics makes me think of the scene when Romeo told Juliet he had to go away from Verona and and the day before of the banish when he spent all the night with her. Both characters can't live without having each other. It's like they are in completely love. 

How important is love in your life?

Love conversation with Cels

In this discussion I found out that not everybody has the same opinions when it comes to love. Talking with Cels I realised that he doesn't believe in love at first sight, that for him age difference isn't important in a couple, that in a date one person should pay what he/she spends, etc.

I found out also that we have so much in common when we discussed, for example, we both agree in the same characterists that our girl/boyfriend should have or we both said that being single has its own advantatges and it's not as bad as many people may think.

MY FAVOURITE SUMMER

The favourite summer I've never spend was the one I went in PortAventura two years ago. I went to this theme park with my family and my cousin, Carles. We went there because it was the third time we have gone and we liked it a lot, especially my sister and I. It was really fun to go there because we liked exciting activities like roller coasters.

I won't forget this experience!

Below, there's more information about the park:

PortAventura is located in Tarragona, and it's a place that when it's summer is very crowded and everywhere you look is full of tourists. The park is divided into five main zones: Mediterrania, Polinesia, China, México and The Far West. All these are very different to each other. For example, the Far West was the hotest and dryest part in the theme park while the Polinesia temperature was colder than all the others, and also all the buildings that made up each zone were very different from each other.

SUMMER PLAN

This summer is going to be very busy for me. I've never done so much activities in vacations as the ones I'm gonna do this summer. It's weird but, I'm feeling excited and stressed at the same time. Today I'm gonna tell you my plans for the following three months:

The first week of July, I'm going to an English course in the morning, where I'm gonna practise and learn this language in everday situations at EOI; and in the afternoon I'm going to a volleyball training that will finish at 20.00h.

The next seven days, my volley team and I, we're gonna travel to Italy to make a competition against other international clubs. The 3rd and the 4th week of Juli, my family is going to stay in the south zone of Germany (Bavaria). Here we're gonna visit some interesting places such as the "schwarzwald" and the "neuschwanstein-castle".

 

In August, the 2nd and the 3rd weeks, I'm going to do a field work two with my friends in the Alt Urgell. During these days, we're gonna study the flora and fauna of there and we're gonna sleep everynight inside tents. That's going to be such a great experience!

So that's the end of my summer plans... Hope I will have a good time!

That's the favourite number of almost all the population

Everybody, or almost all the people, has a favourite number. Having said that: which factors make us to prefer a number or antoher? Is there any number that is more popular than the rest?

These are some of the questions that wanted to answer the mathematic and writter Àlex Bellos. That's why he prepared an online survey form where he asked to the participants to choose a favourite figure. And which was the result? Number 7 was the clearly winner, followed by number 3 and number 8.

According to what Bellos thinks, the reason why we like so much this figure is because it's "special". "It's the only number between  2 and 10 that it's not multiple and a factor either  of any other number. And that it's a thing that distinguishes 7 from the rest"- claims in the "El Confidencial".

On the other hand, when we have to choose our favourite figure it also influences other emotional factors, such as our date of birth or the dates birth of our loved ones, for example. And you, which is your favourite number? :)

WORDS I'VE LEARNT:

-Survey form: enquesta

-Figure: xifra

-Distinguish: distingir

-Loved ones: sers estimats

-Multiple: múltiple (número)
