Well... In my opinion I'm so special when I go shopping. I need some special things in classical clothes, because I love formal style and the most classical things, but I don't always wear what I like, for example, In my high school if you wear some different clothes people speak about you and look at you like you're stupid and sometimes you have to follow the trend.
If I could decide everything, I would wear different type of clothes because I love fashion and branded clothes, and obviouly I love high heels. I love suit jackets and tight-fitting outfits. I think that always is a good moment to dress well and wear what you want and what you need to feel good with your body.
One of my intentions in the future is change my style because I don't want to wear the same that other people wear, I need to find my style, and I know that will be so special.
I only want to say one more thing, you don't need by your side someone who needs to speak about you and your style or your clothes, you only need a person who really wants to be your friend.
Presentation: We used a prezi presentation with some photos and a few key words to remember what we had to say. Body language and eye contact: In my case I read a little, I was so nervious (I don't know what happened, I'm never stayed nervious before in a oral presentation). I have to improve my eye contact. Structure: We organized our ideas in order, like we thought that was better. We follow the instructions of the teacher. Content: We introduced some interesting information in the presentation. We spoke about Barbados Island language, demography, gastronomy, culture, nature, and places. Language: I think that our grammar was correct because in my case, I used a lot of verbs tenses, and a few new words. Pronunciation: I think my pronunciacion was acceptable but I've to improve it a lot. If I were my teacher, my mark would be...: 7'5!
In my opinion, this task is the most important of the term (exams too) because we work our oral expression, our pronunciation, our eye contact, our character and obviusly, our memory and improvisation! I practised my presentation, but in the class.. I was so nervious. I've to improve it, because I know I can do it much better.
I will do my post about this film because in my opinion is a classic and it's really amazing and beautiful.
This film speaks about a crazy and teenage love, Her name's Allie and his name's Noah.
Their love story passed in the past and the both had to be separated because they were from different social classes; Allie's family was so rich and they had a mansion. At the other hand, Noah and his father were poor but they were happy with their situacion.
Their problems started when Allie's mum banned her daughter see her boyfriend and Allie had to return to the city.
In my opinion if you still hasn't seen this film, you must to see it, because it's romantic, it's a kind of film that you can see if rains one day and you want to watch one film on your sofa with your blanket...it's perfect, and if you have a "good company" it's even better!
Is important to be fashion? Well, in my opinion yes, it is (obviously) because with wour clothes you express phisicly your mood and your personality.
I think is important to wear what you want, what makes you feel well, clothes that you can wear as you want.
Sometimes I choose some clothes that are so special, because when I go shopping I think in my style, what I want to wear or what I would like to wear or what I must to have in my wardrobe.
I love fashion magazines like elle or vogue, this magazines give me a lot of ideas and with them I can follow fashin without losing my style. I buy the both every month, I love fashion... I feel really better when I dress in clothes that I love than when I dress in old and ugly clothes.
Last years I worn baggy clothes but now I wear tight-fitting and brand clothes, I feel much better with myself.
Now winter's coming. I love this season of the year because people's so lovely, all things are more beautiful, more interesting, everything are better on the streets there are lights and people pass a lot of time into the coffees because out of your house or your school or the coffee, the temperature is low.
I like this season of the year because it's the time about presents, about feelings, about your family or your best friends, about sing a christmas carol and others, and feel and live and feel happy, and love and share your smiles with important people and hug and kiss and feel the ecstasy in your body, in your veins, in your head, and in your heart, of course.
I'm very retailer, I do or buy a little gift to special people, It's like a tradition, a necessity for me.
People say that I'm so lovely, so special, so emocional, and the truth its I'm special, yes, because I'm strange and I do really strange things, but...why not? To be like someone else, or everything else is the worst because you lose your personality, and without it... what would you want to do?
This is one of my favourite songs, it's so special because I've got a lot of memories about it. When I listen it i met one of the most special person in my life, it was a special moment and I think that I'll remember it for a long time.
This song speaks about love, about time when you stay alone, about promises, about doubts. It speaks about people who promise an infinity love and suddenly leave you, about waiting the true love because if it's true, you only live once this feeling. The singer says "I love you for a thousand years" and it's much time and if you promise it you must stay in love and it used to be the first love, the only that you remember in the future. When I listen this song I think about my past and about the feelings that I felt but...this is only my past and I need to live in the present, not just survive and If I would be happy, I would be brave.
Last year, in 4th of ESO I had my first blog and it was good for my and my life.
At the first time I've thought it was boring because we only can speak about one topic, and it couldn't be important for me, because I like so strange topics or things. But at the second time I feel excited, it was amazing and weird because last year my life was boring and dark I never wanted to do anything I just wanted to read books in my room.
But with the blog I could speak about my life, my problems, my emotions, but I could do that with distance and it was the best part. I wrote every weeks about all, my favourite songs, my favourite books, my problems, my friends... I could be relaxed and be myself. It was new in my life, because I'm extroverted but with my problems I'm shy, my heart's very closed.
At the end of the year, my blog was the most special thing that I ever had with the high school and I had a very good mark!:)

Well... I've never written a private diary beause I've never had time and I think that one person can read my secrets, my feels and my fears and that person can hurts me like anybody else.
I want to speak about the differences and the similarities between Adrian Mole and Tracy, the main characters about Adrian Mole book and Thirteen, the film that we saw in our classroom.
Their both have family problems, and have 13 years old, the worst age, because be teenager is difficult, everything is "the biggest problem in the world". But their problems are really different because Adrian writes a secret diary and speaks about his life, his spots, what he felt or about his Nigel or his family but he doesn't do anything. In the other hand, Tracy's problems are bigger, she has real serious problems, she ingesting drougs, screams her mother and cuts herself. But her problems started when she met Evie. Evie seems her best friend but she only stays by her site because she needs someone. She isn't a truth friend.
When we saw the film I felt scared because she only have thirteen years old and her life was complicated. My cousin has the same age and I can't imagine him in that situacion, I wish that he never has problems like these.
People always speaks about love, and tell a lot of stories about it but only a few are true. I think love is the most special think that you ever feel. Love's big, is amazing, is cool, is good, love's... special!
Only a few knows what's love, but the rest think that they know, but what they know isn't love. True love is special, and you fell secure and protect.
When you have an special person in your life and you really love him, you could done everything for him, if he needs you, you stay by him side everytime, if he needs you can sail the world to find him, and if he loves you like you loves him, he would do the same for you, because this is love, do all for other person.
Love's a promise that you shouldn't broke, because love can be painful, if you lose your love, you feel lost, you feel the worst person in the world, you feel broken and sunk and at the end... You feel alone.
If you love you boyfriend, don't hurt him, because if you hurt him, you hurt yourself too.
Last Tuesday 6th of November there was United States presidential election. Barack Obama won it for a second consecutive time and Vice President Joe Biden. He was happy, he hugged his wife when he know that he was the new president, again!
He won in 26 stats or districts and his challenger Mitt Romney who won in 24 stats or districts.
Obama was the first black president in United States and it was very controversial because afew states of USA are racists and they complain so much against the other districts.
This time the election compaign was hard because economic situation's difficult to explain, the whole world have money problems and when people have hungry things are more complicated.
This new speaks about today, about the problems that have everyone, about financial markets and austerity.
Last few years we had a lot of changes in our life, there were more unemployed and privatization of education or healthcare and a lot of social cuts and pass money from public funds into private banks.
We life in a "Democracy" but we haven't got any rights. We live under the yolk of a Financial Dictatorship, and it can't be for a lot of time, we have to do something to change this situation. The EC is bad for the countries because all of them must to pay their debt. They raising the prices on the market, and at the same time lowering wages, it can't be possible, people's hungry. In countries like Greece or Portugal or Spain there are so many ruined families.
For this reason, we had to do a general strike on 14th of November, where was demanded "No payment of European debts!" People need rescue before banks, because people's more important that all!
Today, the president of US, Barack Obama, landed to Thailand to meet the King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the prime minister, to reaffirm an old alliance, it's important for US because it's at the heart of American strategy in southeast Asia.
Thailand was so important for US for the Cold War, because there were air bases from US.
But Obama's not accepted for Thailand people because in this place life's hard and people don't need one rich president in their place, their need food and money.
When he's arrived, one bomb exploit and two people died.
His presidential motorcade has flanked for hundreds of Thai police and special forces and they has passed sped through the government district.

WHAT LASTS
Once upon a time, far, far away... there was a place called New York, and a girl called Caroline. She was a really strange and weirs teenager, and maybe that was the reason she did strange and weird things; or maybe she did strange and weird things and this was what made her strange and weird. Anyway, Caroline was very special.
Caroline was walking for the first time in Central Park. There was still something magical but there was too much technology and pollution and stressed people. It wasn't the place she had imagined. But even if she didn't like Central Park at all, Caroline started going there every day.
Months later, a very cold day of December, one of those she liked so much because everything was white, she noticed something: everytime she was sitting in a specific park bench -an old one and full of writings- she felt better, stronger and full of love.
Then, Caroline thought "This cannot be possible. I'm too romantic and fanciful; and she kept listening to music.
When the song ended, a beautiful man's voice continued singing the same song with different lyrics. It was the voice of the bench.
Caroline stayed hypnotized listening the story explained by the melody of her favourite song.
It was the story of a couple of lovers who had gone there to say to each other words of love along their lives. They had met there when ten years old and had been kept going there until they got older.
Caroline tried to recorded the story but when she got home the phone wasn't working.
The phone was broken, but the love that the couple of lovers had left in the beach was forever and for everyone.
This film speaks about true love and time. It says that if you can't live without a person, you must say him or her because tomorrow can be late, can be too late, now's the moment that you need!
The film tells a love story between a boy, Lorenzo, and a girl, Claire. The both met fifty years ago and fell in love, but in that times it was so complicated and the two of them couldn't stay together.
After fifty years, Sofia, the girl who stayed at Verona on holidays with his boyfriend, found a letter by Claire and she answered and sent the letter to Claire.
When Claire received the letter, she went to Verona with her grandson and they two met Sofia.
Sofia, Charlie and Claire began to search the old love of Claire, Lorenzo.
In the story Sofia and Charlie fell in love but it was impossible because she has boyfriend, Víctor.
At the end, when they had lost their hope, they found Lorenzo, it was amazing but the bad side was that Sofia was left to New York.
After two months, Claire and Lorenzo celebrated their wedding, Sofia went to wedding after break up with her boyfriend because she loves Charlie.
At the marriage, Sofia and Charlie spoke about what they felt and they started a relationship!
I like this film, because is so romantic, but happy ends only exist in the movies. But.. Dreaming's free!
Meri: it's Mery, Hello?
Ana: Hello baby! How are you? Was your summer ok?
Meri: Darling! I'm fine! Everything changed in my life... I've changed myself this summer. And you? Everything okay? Was your summer special?

Ana: Kisses!
Presentation: I used a prize presentation with some photos and a few key words to remember what I had to say.
Body language and eye contact: In my case I read a little because I was so nervious and I have to improve my eye contact.
Structure: I organized my ideas in order, like I thought that was better. I follow the instructions of the teacher.
Content: I introduced new information in my presentation. I spoke about the topics of: sport, diets and problems of adolescents and I spoke about my experience. I gave an example from myself. I think that it was quite good.
Language: I think that my grammar was correct because I used a lot of verbs tenses, and a few new words.
Pronunciation: I think my pronunciacion was acceptable but I've to improve it if I want to pass my FCE!
If I were my teacher, my mark would be...: 7'5!
In my opinion, this task is the most important because we work our oral expression, our pronunciation, our eye contact, our character and obviusly, our memory and improvisation!
I practised my presentation in my house a lot of times, but in the class.. I was so nervious. I've to improve it, because I know I can do it better.
TRANSCRIPTION:
I'm going to speak about sport, diets, keeping fit and some of the problems that adolescents have.
I'd like to talk about my own experience because this year I go to the gym regularly four days a week for one hour.
I like spinning, steps, abdominals and cardio exercise. When I do a lot of sport I feel fit. How many of you go to the gym? How you feel after do it?
Sometimes it's difficult to eat well. I've tried diets but you think you will never do it. Well, this year, I'm doing it and I feel better.
First of all, let's talk about sport.
Sport is good for the body and for the mind because it's important to keep fit.
If you don't do anything you feel more tired. When you do sport or play sports you can think about everything that happened during the day and your mind can relax.
Time passes really fast and after doing sport, you feel really well and energethic. You feel better that you have done something hard.
If you do a lot of sport, you feel good, a lot of people see it. It shows!
Secondly, I'd like to talk about food and diets.
I think that some foods are good for your health: vegetables, chicken, fish, fruit or pasta for example.
It's a problem for adolescents because they often want to eat chocolate, sweets or sugar, but they don't want to get fat!
After eat a lot of bad food, some of them try to go on a diet but they can follow it. They feel bad and dissapointed. They lose motivation and don't lose weight!
Last of all...
If you try to do something well, when you eat a little of everything but not too much, you can do a little of sport.
The problems start when you don't eat enough and you do too much sport; you don't have energy to follow a good rhythm.
In my opinion, my advice is to talk about what you think, don't be frightened, eat well and try to do some regular exercise.
I'm going to speak about friendship, because in my opinion is the best feel that we can ever have.
Friendship's better than love, because when you need help, your really friends are who helps you in the worst moments. I think I've only two real friends, with they I feel happy, because when I think in friendship, I think in happinness too because without friends you can't be happy.
At the end, if you think.. your important friends are your life because without them you can't stay good.
There are too many types of friends, friends who only stay by your side when they need it, friends who are two-faced and on your face they love you a lot but in your back they speak about you, and liers. But really friends are who stay always by your side when you need them and when you don't need them.
I only need my friends, with them I can be happy, I don't need anymore.

It was the song of one important person in my life. The friend who taught me this song is special, because she's shameful but she's the biggest person that I ever had in my life, I love her, she stays by my side at the best moments but, at the worst too.
That summer was my paradise. It was perfect!
When I finished my classes of 4th ESO, and I've get my marks I went to the beach, every day.
At July I went to my oncle's house and it was so good for me. I could disconnect of my problems, I could be happy for that time, and it was more than I could have imaginated. I know better my aunt that days, and we have the same character. I thought the same as she at the same time!
I went to Girona with her, and we went to Hipercor and going shopping, went to the cinema too and Bisbal's party. She's the most surprising person that I ever met. Is one of the most important people in my life, and she's only the wife of my mum's brother!
When I come back to my home things were diferent. I only thought in my problems or others but I didn't think in anybody else, I didn't want to do things. But it was only for two weeks.
In August, I started to meet friends, I went to the beach four or five times a week and I passed a lot of time with my best friend. It was well for me, because I could find myself and my happiness.
But.. Summer, like everything, had an end.
Last weekend I went to la Bisbal, with my family.
They are the best persons of my life, better than friends because when you really need help, who helps you at the end, are your family.
The best person's my aunt, I'm like her, we both have the same character, same pleasures, and same problems. She's so important for me because when I need her, she always stay by my side.
When I stay with her, I feel so better, she gets the best of me, and of everybody because she's strange, special, she's the one.
Three years ago, she had a breast cancer, and I felt really afraid, but she was really strong and she won against it!
After that, she's even better, stronger and more amazing, now she knows who's she and what she can do.
With she life's better, I can do all that I want, but not alone, I can do with my aunt and it's the best, because we can speak about boys, about clothes, life, problems, films, songs, games, food, people, about everything. When I stay with her, I feel special, better, I feel that I can against the world.
My name’s Meritxell Romans and I’m 15 years old but in October I will be sixteen. I live in l’Armentera ( one small site next to St. Pere Pescador). I like pop, rock and row music, love and horror films, go shopping and meet with my friends. Also I like read books by love and others.
My town is small, there are 800th persons who live in l’Armentera. Live in my town is boring. We only can sleep and eat, anothing else.
At high school I’m doing 1st of “batxillerat”, I’m studying Maths, Science, Spanish, Catalan, English, Philosophy and others. After 2nd of “batxillerat” I will go to the University of Barcelona, and if I can, I want to do medical career. Next year I must work hard, because I also do extra classes of English to take the certificate of First.
Next year I want to do many things, but the most important thing that I want is my happiness, if is possible with my motorcycle license and title of first in my hand!
I hope we have a good year in our English classes!
Well... In my opinion I'm so special when I go shopping. I need some special things in classical clothes, because I love formal style and the most classical things, but I don't always wear what I like, for example, In my high school if you wear some different clothes people speak about you and look at you like you're stupid and sometimes you have to follow the trend.
