My English competence 2014

In this post I will talk about my best evidence written and my best eevydence oral presentation.

“Humour in my country is important like every where but on the street, you don't see people happy when they are walking alone and in my opinion this is sad because it means that they are not happy, they are just living. 

Firts of all, for me, humour is very important in our lives, when we are sad, just a sentence with a bit of humour it can make us happy. 

Secondly if we live without humour our life will be sad, always the same, just work and make moeny. 

 

In conclusion humor makes our lives happier and longer, without humor we would be angry every day and our face would be always sad, so jokes, humour and laughther are very important to live well.” 

I’ve chosen this composition as the best because I think that a little bit of humor it’s always good. I’ve love this topic because it makes me see that live it’s not always bad, sad and tired. And in these times we are living only humor will save us. 

 I’ve used a quite good redaction with good paragraphs whit linking words.

In this riting I’m trying to help people seeing that humor it’s very important in our lives, also I can say that’s it’s a way of live. 

My best oral presentations I think that it’s my last one, and it’s the one that talks about my TDR project. I’ve improved my pronunciation and my fluency compared with my first oral presentation. I was explaining my project and it was quite easy because I have explained a lot of hours doing it.

My English progress from 2012-2014.

In this post I will compare my first batxillerat composition that was an email to the teacher and my last one. And also I will compare my first oral presentation and the last one that was my TDR project. 

An e-mail to the teacher:

“ I just start the new curs of high school. I’m excited and at the same time a bit afraid. These next two courses will be really hard, I need to study and work a lot. 

I love to travel and I really need to know and discovered the world, it’s my passion. 

I will love to visit Berlin, London, New York, Belgium, Holland, Australia, Russia, Marrakech, Dubai…

Still now I’m not sure of what to study, I like criminology, but I have to keep looking of what to do, what I know is that I want to finish my studies in another country to be better witch my languages. 

I want to study German, French and English. I will like to talk all this languages quite well.”

It was my first composition and I have read it again and I have seen with my first and my last composition there are a lot of different and I’m very proud about it.  I have improved a lot in vocabulary and in grammar and also with the adjectives. I’ve learned a lot of new connectors and how to use it. As well now I do longest compositions with some different arguments. And also I think that the maturity of my ideas had also improved. 

If I have to choose my best composition it will be: http://paulalabradorbarneo.blogspot.com.es/2013/12/good-news-about-chocolate.html because it talks about chocolate and I love it and also because I think that I have summarized it well and I have done a good personal opinion. 

Regarding my first and last oral presentations I have seen a lot of differences. Now I feel more confident in front of my classmates, then I was very shy. Also I have improved my pronunciation and my tone of voice. But one thing it haven’t change and it’s that I’ve never liked doing oral presentations because I’m shy and a little bit insecure in front of my classmates, but now I do it quite better than before.

Lia is working as an international busines on the departement of marketing. She loves going to different places and learning new things of the job. 

She is always going to padel, she loves this sport and she has win a lot of trophies. 

She is always with her friends and her boyfriend. 

Lia is very intelligent, hard-working and very friendly. 

In my opinion Lia and her boyfriend are soulmates, they are always good and they don't have any serious problem. 

Human Rights

Human rights are moral principles that set out certain standards of human behaviour, and are regularly protected as legal rights in national and international law.

Human rights are rights you have simply because you are a human, they are universal. There were created for the graces on Cyrus cylinder 5039 a.c. They are 30 human rights.

Human Right # 16 Marriage and Family.

I’m surprise with this human right because I didn’t know that this right exist. I think that I didn’t know his existence because I found it normal and that everybody can do the same and that’s why I’m surprised. In my family for example this right is of course a right because we are free to do what we want and love everybody we want it doesn’t care the age, the origin or the colour of the skin. But unfortunately there are people that didn’t think like that. And that’s the reason that this right is perfect for ending with the racism and for the Integration of new cultures and different people in our lives  

Dialogue

There is a man and a woman talking in a coffee shop in New York. 

They are talking about their prenuptial agreement. 

James: Hey darling!

Angelina: Hey honey! Would you like something?

James: Yes, I want a coffee and you?

Angelina: I want a cappucino. 

James: Okey. Do you know what? This morning, I was thinking about our wedding and I thought that it could be a good idea to make a prenuptial agreement.

Angelina: Oh my god! What are you talking about! I'm very angry, If you want to make a prenuptial agreement I will not marry you. 

James: I love you! But I think that we don't have to leave to chance our properties and we have to separate your things and my things.

Angelina: Well if you want it we will doit like this. 

James: It's not something bad, it's just to be saje. I love you so much and I want to be with you all my life. So basically my things are your things and yors are mine. 

Finally James and Angelina made a prenuptial agreement. 

They got married on the beach of L.A.

Nowadays they are 80 and they are dtill in love!

CAN INTERNET CHANGE THE WORLD FOR BETTER?

It seems that in our society Internet is completely inside our lives. And of course Internet could change the world for better world in the future but still we don't know if it will go for the better or not.

On the one hand, Internet helps us with a faster communication and we can chat with all the world. In addition, the net has more information than our head art it help us with our cotidian problems. And just with one click we have almost all the information that we need.

On the other hand, with the Internet, people forget about the books and only use the net. Secondly, in the Internet it's more frequents the frauds than in the shops. Lastly if electricity fails everithing goes off.

In conclusion, we would say that Internet should change the world for the better. However, that in the we can have more problems than in our private lives.

Music sounds better with them

Some years ago I went to Pitbull’s concert. It was in Badalona. I went there with my friends Maria and Josep and also my mother and a friend of hers, Marta.

The concert was fantastic all the people were dancing and having fun.

It was my first really concert and I was 13. It was a great experience and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. 

I went to Pitbull’s concert because he was my favorite singer and it was the first time he came here, so it was our first concert in Badalona. 

When the concert was finished my friends my mother and I went home by car. 

The memory that I have of the concert is that it was fantastic and I had a great time. 

The social media

The media that I normally use its whatsapp and facebook for chatting with my friends and family and watch what they are doing all around the world. 

I have a cell phone (that is an Iphone 4s white). I use it every day and every hour that I need it. I have internet on the phone and in my house as well. 

I have just three accounts on social webs. I like to use the media just for learning new things and chatting with other people that I know.
