Youth is the important thing in the world

It is true that people worry about youth, but is youth the most important moment in own life?

On the one hand, youth is the best moment in the life of the person. For one thing you are beautiful and young and you enjoy yourself and find a relationship with a perfect person in addition, you have energy to do all things and you don't have to worry.

On the other hand, youth is temporary and finally you become an adult. When you are young, you are a little crazy and after that period you can find stability.

In conclusion, youth is an important stage and I believe that it's true but we shouldn't become obsessed because there are more beautiful moments in life.

Facebook snaps up Instagram for $1bn

Facebook buy the corporate Instagram for $1bn, Instagram allow them people take photos and with "filters" change the aparience of the photos, classic and other and then pubblish in social networks. Facebook says that Instagram worked independly. This is an important buy for Facebook because many people like Facebook because allowed show with photos all the thoughts about people.

In my opinion this is a good think for Facebook because there are a lot of people use this program and with this but Facebook won a lot of money and a lot of new members but I think that the problem that would be a lot of addicts to Facebook and this wich may make worse this problem.

Spain regions: Catalonia to vote in key elections

Today Catalonia a region of Spain vote in eleccions. Artur Mas the president for the moment call early eleccions because it wants to make the most of crisis. The main cause of the eleccions are independence who want the catalan political parties but the national parties say that they look for excuses because they have a several economic problems and a hight debt.

In one hand I think that the eleccions  in Catalonia are good because if catalan politcs parties get self-goverment for Catalonia the get that things will get very better but in other hand there are a problem because catalonia it can be left out of Europe.

Two arrested over Facebook comments in India

Two women have been arrested in India. They publish a comment in Facebook "People like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a 'bandh' [shutdown] for that." and for this they have been arrested. 

The analysts,periodists and media must are critical with the government because they think that the government attacks the right to freedom of expression.

In my opinion Facebook that's not good because people pubblish a lot of things and in developed countries there aren't any problems but in this kind of countries there are a lot of problems for example these. It's true that the goverment is very hard because they don't have a crime but people in this kind of countries have to be careful with Facebook and other social networks.

The football match

Last week, I went to the football playground. I was watching a football match, Madrid was playing against Betis. The match was in Santiago Bernabeu and I went to the stadium by bus. I arrived at seven o'clock in the afternoon but the match started at nine o'clock. I went to the front of the stadium and there were a lot of people, people were support Madrid but also there were a lot of people for Ajax. I decided to went visit the museum of Real Madrid, it was fantastic, there are a lot of cups and prizes. The match started and I sat down, my seat was behind the goal post.
The first ocasion was for Real Madrid, but ten minutes later Beñat a player of Betis scored 1-0. When the first half finished Real Madrid was losing 1-0. During the break time, until playersrest, I went to the bar and ate a sandwich.
A few minutes after started the second part, two minutes later Real Madrid scored, it was a draw. After the goal the match was boring until minute 85. The score was 1-1 and at the last minute Real Madrid scored. Everybody went crazy and they were happpy.
The final score was 2-1 and I went home very satisfeid with my team.

Cheetah

My favourite animal is the cheetah, for his great elegance and skill.
It’s the fastest animal in the world, reaching speeds up to 115 km/h, with his great vision, is what makes him an splendid hunter.
But all these characteristics will not be possible without his special anatomy.
His hearth is big since it has to pump more blood to the whole body, his nostrils are very wide for a superior oxygenation and his claws are characterized for having more traction in high speeds.
Definitively, I have chosen the Cheetah because it is very respected animal, because he has to live alone in the warm savannah and for his great hunting efficiency.

At least 117 killed in fire at Bangladeshi clothing factory

A fire in a clothing factory killed 117 people and 200 people were injured. 2000 people work in the clothing factory but the work of the fireman have been saved a lot of lives. The firefighter fight with a fire very hard because there are cotton and yarn. There are a lot of factories of this type in bangladesh and aproximately 6000 people dead in a fire every year.

I believe that the fire is a very big problem and most worring in this countries. People work without social security, without certaintly of actually being paid and in conditions of extrem poverty, work a lot of hours and a lot of children. The lack of security and conditions in this factories is very worryng and this is the reason that dead a lot of people.

The doctor says that they had done all that they can do, but the bale damage three arteries. The shot have when he stay in a car outside a bar and his friend has dead. The family don't no what to do probably  they decide disconect to life support.

In my opinion this is a terrible news because this acts show the security in the countries of sud america.  But the biggest problem that the famous people of the world of sport are still dying and this is very worring, without mention the million of inocent people that still dying too.

Archduke Joseph diamond sells for $21m

Few days ago in switzerland, a famouse diamond has been sold for $21 million. The price of his sale is a record for the sell of diamonds and for the producers about this jewell.The diamond has a form of a cushion, weighs 76 carats, has the most purest colour and has one of the most rarity diamond on the world. In the second war world the diamond was sold and hidden in a lockbox, then reappeared in 1961 and finally was sold another time in 1993.

In my opinion this news there aren't very important for the normall people, because people don't have the money to buy the diamond. In this time the majority of the people have a big problems with the economic crisis, and I think that the people with a normal economic level doesn't interesting this news, because they have a more important things to worry about. And finally I think that people with a hight economic level doesn't think to buy the diamond, except millionaires.

Final evaluation of 1st Batxillerat

In my opinion this year I have improved my level of English. On September 2011 my level of English are normal level of ESO but in Batxillerat the level increase and this year I think that I learn a lot of English and I have improved my level of English. For example in writings, this year I have made many writings and I have improved a lot my writings.

This year I have made a lot of activities but the activity that show that my level have improved are the writings for the blog. With writings I have improved my vocabulary and my redaction, because now I write are a little bit better that the writings of another years.

In one hand the activities that were useful for my English are oral presentations. With the oral presentations I learn to describe persons, places or another thing, but the most important thing for me are lost the fear to speak in public.

In another hand the activity that I thing not find useful for my English are podcast because with the podcast I only read a writing that I write before.

News:Eurovegas

This year is looking a place to create an Eurovegas. Eurovegas is a group of casinos as in Las Vegas but in Europe. The principal place for this construction is Barcelona. It appears that all are benefits but the principal problem is the destruction of million of areas of forest but this will bring a lot of tourists and many benefits to Spain.

In my opinion the Eurovegas should  will doing in Barcelona because this group of casinos will bring a lot of tourist,  many people, rich people too would come to Spain and they would spend a lot of money here. I think that the Eurovegas would be an ingress for Spain and the new form to make money.

Lorenzo is doing the best motoGP season of his career this year. Today he wins de race in Montmeló, Spain. He is very happy because he wins in his house and becomes leader of motoGP championship.

Lorenzo and Pedrosa mantained a beautiful battle for first place, but finally Lorenzo, who is flying with his Yamaha, wins the race and becomes the leader of motoGP Championship.

In my opinion Lorenzo is the best pilot of motoGP this year. He dominates his motorbike very well and anyone can catch him because he takes the fastest motorbike. I think that Lorenzo will win the motoGP Championship but a small wrong can make Lorenzo loses the motoGP championship.

News: New atraction in Port Aventura

The new atraction at Porta Aventura for 2012 is Shambala, expedition to Himalaya. This is of the kind High Coaster and it is situated in China next to Dragon Khan. Shambala is 78 metres high and it will be the highest in Europe. Shambala will break the records of height, length and speed. Shambala will also go through tunnels. Shambala opens in March and a lot of people are looking forward to this day.

In my opinion this is a good bet for the new year, because in Spain, there aren't atraction of this kind and this attracts a lot of people. Shambala will also affect Dragon Khan, because people who like dangerous attractions will go to Shambala and they won't go to Dragon Khan, so Shambala hasn't got loops.

In conclusion Shambala is a good atraction for Port Aventura and I hope to go there this year.

Criticism of the Hound of the Baskervilles

Dr. Mortimer goes to see Holmes to ask for help about death of Charles Baskerville. Mortimer tells Holmes that Charles Baskerville was killed by a hound and tell him that Henry Baskerville the last of the Baskervilles is arriving. They go to Baskerville Hall and Mortimer tells him about the legend of the Hound. Holmes leaves Watson to investigate and return to London. Watson knows  Stapleton, he lives on the moors and Watson is suspicious of him. Finally Sherlock Helmos, who is hiding in the mountains kills the hound. He discovers that Stapleton, who is to blame, is really a Baskerville and he catches him.

In my onpinion it is an interesting mystery book. This book is a typical Sherlock Holmes story with mistery and murders.
Hound of the Baskerville is a very good book, but at the beginning it is a bit boring.
My favourite moment in the story is when Sherlock Holmes discovers that Stapleton, who is to blame, is really a Baskerville.

Cambridge

The city of Cambridge is 80 km from London, which is the capital of Encland. Cambridge is the home of Cambriodge University, one of the best universities in the world. Cambridge started in 1209, it is a very old University.

Many famous people studied at Cambridge the famous mathematician and physicist, Isaac Newton. He graduated in Cambridge university hundreds years ago. Stephen Hawking, who is a famous phycisit, studied and graduated in Cambridge too.

Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola is the most famous soft drink all over the world. The drink was invented by Dr. John Pemberton, on May 1886 in Atlanta but Frank Robinson, who was his partner gave the name Coca-Cola.

Apart from Coca-Cola, nowadays the business sells other famous products, for example, Fanta, Aquarius...

Television

The general opinion about T.V is that it is exciting, powerful and very dangerous.

T.V has advantages. It has the power to educate, it is a window on the world and children can learn a lot of things from watching it. T.V is a cheap form of entertainment which gives pleasure to millions of people too.

T.V has disadvantages too. It can turn children into criminals and it is also possible that television has had a terrible effect on family life. People and families spend hours in front of "the box" with a result that there is no comunication between families.

Nowadays there are a lot of people who are addicts and the experts think, that one way of changing this is reducing the hours of television in some way.

In conclusion I think television is just another form of entertainament and if you have and if you have another form of entertainment, you wouldn't be addicted to T.V.

Barcelona

Last year I went to Barcelona in Spain, I will never forget this day, the sun was shiing in a clear blue sky.

In the morning I visited the stone wall, then I went to the beach, here I saw the old port.

In the afternoon I went to the church "Sagrada Familia" it was very beautiful and impressive. It has very strange forms, but it is very beatiful.

Then I went to the " Parc Güell" it was very beatiful too, but "Sagrada Familia" was more impressive.

My last visit was "Camp Nou", the football stadium of C.F Barcelona and its museum.

At the end of the day, I was happy to sit down in a small cafe to have a drink.

Third term

Presentation England

News: Formula 1

The new season of Formula 1 has begun. Now the competitors are in Barcelona, they are doing the pre-season tests. Buttton is the fastest at the moment, but Mark Webber pilot of Redbull and Sebastian Vettel ,who won the tittle last year, are close behind him. Ferrari continued their low-key forms and strucated to understand a rdical new car, with Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso the spanish pilot.

In my opinion I tink, that Vettel and Webber will soon pass Button and the other pilots, but this year Ferrari, with their first pilot Alonso could face up to Vettel and complicate things, because you don't won the Formula 1 world championship so easly. But in september when the championship ends, the winner will be the same Vettel.

In conclusion, ever thought Ferrari has prepassed a very good car RedBull with the Vettel will continue being the best.

News: Euskadi in favour of clubs for consuming cannabis

Euskadi intends to pass a law to legalize caannabis. Euskadi is the community with the most number of addicts, and with private clubs of cannabis in Spain, so they accept ths law. They are also the most addicted to cannabis in Europe and this is worrying.

In my opinion, this is an absurd law, because cannabis is a drug and drugs are forbidden in all the country. So I think why should this law be passed in Euskadi and in rest of the country no. Apart from being a drug, cannabis is very addictive and if people begin to consume in the private clubs, finally they will consume in street.

In conclusion this is an absurd law and ever thought there are a lot of people who consume there it is still a drug and this is illegal.

News: Oscars 2012

The Oscars are an award bestowed by the American of Motion Picture and Sciences to recognize proffesionals in the film industry, including directors, actors and writers. The categories of awards are: The best actor and actress in a leading Role, best acrtor and actress in a supporting Tole, best animated film and animated short film, best artdirection, best cinematography, best director, vest documantari...

This year the film are " the artist " a french film, has won 5 oscars, the best director, best film, best ctor in a leading Role, best original score and best cstume desing.

In my opinion " the artist " is a good film because is funny and entertaining, but there are a lot of better films like, for example, " Moneyball ".

Also the ceremonies are very ridiculous. The dresses of the stars are very bad compared to other years.

In conclusion, I think that another film deserved the Oscars and the ceremony was pitiful.

Criticism of Tirant lo Blanc

Tirant lo Blanc is a medieval book. The main characters is Tirant lo Blanc. He is a Knight. He is very goof at fighting and he travels around many countries fighting. In these countries he falls in love. He loves Carmesina. She is a daughter of the emperors of Constantinoble.
These emperors didn't accept that of Tirant lo Blanc and Carmesina were in love, so they got married in secret. Finally Tirant lo Blanc saves the emperors in a battle and the emperors gives his daughter in marriage.
Before Tirant lo Blanc is ill and dies, then Carmesina dies two.

In my iopinion, this is a good medieval book because it is entertaining. The book speak about knights, love, friendship but in my opinion the most important is Tirant lo Blanc because he shows us how a knight was in those days.
My favourite part of the book is when Tirant lo Blanc fights with mr. Vilasermes, his enemy.
This is one of my favourite books but there are moments when this book is very boring, but it is the most medieval book of the world.

The importance of the English language

Some years ago, Polish man invented a language called Esperanto to be used us an international language, so that people all over the world could understand each other. However Esperanto never became popular and nowadays English is the international language.

English is the most important language in the world, practically everybody, everywhere speaks some English and every time it's more important especially with the computers and imformation technology.

English is spoken by about 450 million people all over the world. The English language comes mainly from three different languages: German, Norwegian and French.

English vocabulary contains about 300.000 words and his grammar comes from German, Norwegian and French, so many students find learning English is very difficult.

My sister

Sheila, who is my sister, is 22 years old. She lives with my parents and me. She is tall and thin, brown-eyed and she has got long brown hair. She is dark skinned and she has got a friendly face.

Sheila, who is extroverted with everybody, is an expressive and sociable person and she makes friends very easily, but she is very impulsive and gets angry very quickly. She is also generous, funny and untidy. She likes going to the cinema and her favourite kind of films are terror films. She also likes football, her favourite club is Real Madrid and she watches their matches on T.V.

In my opinion, Sheila is a good sister and normally we get on well togheter. Sometimes we argue but that's normal between with brothers and sisters. I think my sister is a very generous and good person, but her worst characteristic is that she is very impulsive. She is very funny so I laugh a lot with her and I often go to the cinema with her.

Dear sir,

I read your magazine last week, and I'm writing in reply to Maria James's letter about school uniforms. It was interesting letter, but I disagree with some of her opinions.

On the one hand, I agree that school uniforms aren't always stylish, but I don't think that they're practical, because people can't see who you are and how you feel withuniforms. I don't think people spend all of their money on clothes, because everybody will buy clothes for the weekend just the same. Finally, I think it's easy to choose your clothes every morning.

I have never wanted a school uniform, but I think people don't like wearing school uniforms because to wear the same clothes is very repetitive.

One day, I'd be intersted to wear a school uniform.

Crisis at christmas

Christmas has arrived and children want a lot of toys, but it is complicated for families because of the crisis.

Families have always bought toys for children but this year with the crisis, they will take into account the prices. Everybody will go to the shops and buy the cheapest toys, thinking about what the children want. However, this means that parents will have to look around a lot of shops to compare different prices.

For the last years families went to a shop with their children and they bought a lot of toys for all the family, but now families will go shopping and buy less toys.

The crisis doesn't only affect families but also the shops, their prices will be very competitive.
Therefore, in my opinion I think it will be the departament stores or chain stores that will sell the most toys, because the small shops can't compete with them.

SECOND QUARTER
