Rainy days

Today amb gonna try to speak about rainy days.
Much people think that rainy days are ugly, sad and boring, because you feel better when you see the sunlight and heat to the air, but I think that a rainy day is good to stay at home and think about your life, your problems, and a bit to all; or maybe to lie on the coach with a blanket and watch a movie, or to relax.
You can do some different things with rain, some people gets sad and feel like crying, but I think that the best  thing to do is singing in the rain. It's one of the best ways to feel free and forget everything. It's what I want to do when it rains.
Also, you can leave home and going to the cinema with your friens, and pass a good time with them, and after that you can go snack.

As you can see, days can be different depending on how you look; the best way is thinking positive and smiling!:)

White Horse - Taylor Swift

Say you're sorry 
Digues que ho sents
That face of an angel
and aquesta cara d'àngel 
Comes out just when you need it to 
que surt just quan ho necessites
As I pace back and forth all this time 
com vaig i torno tot aquest temps
‘Cause I honestly believed in you
Perquè sincerament, vaig creure en tu 
Holding on 
aferrant-me
And days drag on 
i els dies s'allarguen
Stupid girl, 
noia estúpida,
I should have known, I should have known 
Hauria d'haver sabut, hauria d'haver sabut

[Chorus] 
I'm not a princes, this ain't a fairytale 
No sóc una princesa, això no és un conte de fades
I'm not the one you’ll sweep off her feet, 
jo no soc la única que carregaves en braços
Lead her up the stairwell 
i pujaves per les escales

This ain't Hollywood; this is a small town, 
Això no és Hollywood, això és una petita ciutat
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down 
Jo era una somiadora abans que vinguessis tu i m'abandonessis
Now it's too late for you 
Ara és molt tard per tu
And your white horse, to come around 
I pel teu cavall blanc, per tornar

Baby I was naive, 
Carinyo, vaig ser ingènua
Got lost in your eyes 
em vaig perdre en els teus ulls
And never really had a chance 
I realment mai vaig tenir una  oportunitat
I had so many dreams 
Jo tenia molts somnis
About you and me 
teus i meus
Happy endings 
amb finals feliços
Now I know 
Ara sé

[Chorus] 
I'm not a princes, this ain't a fairytale 
Jo no sóc una princesa, això no és un conte de fades
I'm not the one you’ll sweep off her feet, 
Jo no era la única que carregaves en braços
Lead her up the stairwell 
I pujaves per les escales
This ain't Hollywood; this is a small town, 
Això no és Hollywood, això és una ciutat petita
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down 
Jo era una somiadora abans de que marxessis i em deixessis
Now it's too late for you 
Ara és molt tard per tu
And your white horse, to come around 
I per teu cavall blanc, per tornar 

And there you are on your knees 
I aquí estàs agenollat
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me 
pregant perdò, pregant per mi
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry 
És el que sempre havia volgut, però ho sento molt

‘Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't our fairytale 
Perquè jo no sóc una princesa, això no és el nostre conte de fades
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well 
Jo trobaré algun dia a algú que em tracti bé
This is a big world that was a small town 
Aquest món és molt gran i aquella ciutat era petita
There in my rear view mirror disappears now 
que ara està desaparaguent en el meu mirall retrovisor
And it’s too late for you and your white horse 
I és molt tard per tu i el teu cavall blanc
Now it’s too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now 
Ara és molt tard per tu i el teu cavall blanc, per agafar-me ara

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa 
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Prova d'agafar-me ara 
Oh, it's too late 
Oh, és molt tard
To catch me now
Per agafar-me ara.
___________________________________________________________

This is one of the best current songs, it speaks about a girl and her boyfriend, and she discover that he has another girlfriend. I think that it's a typical story, but I like love stories I am so loving and sentimental, and of course I think that Taylor Swift is one of the best current singers, she's so great and pretty and gorgeous and thin, she's perfect, and her voice sounds like angels.
When I hear this song I feel a lot of fellings through my body, but it's good when you need to think, you could try someday, might could be better than you think!

Matthew Bomer

He's one of my favourite actors. He was born in Spring, Texas. He studied at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh , and he graduated with bachelor of fine arts degree. He's the main character of White collar, one of my favourite TV programme. As you can see, he's very attractive, Matt Bomer is one of the sexiest actors, most women are crazy for him, but he's paired with another man an they've adoptet three children.
He has participated in many american programmes.
In 2001 he moved to New York City and he started his acting carrer. In my opinion he acts rather well.
The besr  known character he plays is Neal Caffrey,an art thief, one of the most wanted in New York. He has a lot of flase names and he has an innat talent for art, he can falsifying any artwork.
But in the programme he works in the FBI, because like he's a brilliant thief, he thinks like the other good thieves. (Ouch..I think I just create a paradox..).

When you see that programme you can't understand what happen in his mind, it's a question without an answer. And it's so addictive! (How can you see MATT BOMER, the sexiest actors, without wanting to see more?!). Honestly, the chapters are so interesting, when I see them, I learn a few things that I never would have though learning in a TV programme.

If you want to entertain, and you like detective series, you must see white collar!

Money and problems

If I was a millionare I would help people who have not got a house to live in. But I'm not a millionare and If I don't work hard I won't be rich. Well...This isn't one of my dreams because I think If you don't have money you'll be better like a person.  I think that we'll have a better society If nobody have much money. Because when you have more money than others you feel more powerful.
If we'd felt more fowerful, we'd probabli have been bad people. In saying this, I just want to express my opinion. Someone who has more money think that If they don't want somenthing to happen it doesn't happen, is simple.
But If people hadn't fought for their rights, they might have been seriously affected because the system protects rich people.

I've to say something, If all of us don't do anything, our problems and our society will be more difficult to resolve. If we say "Stop" all at once, the system falls.

Gap year

Is a good idea to take a gap year? When is better to do, after 2nd of batxillerat or after university? What can you do during this year?

Well, these are a few questions I think are important to ask and, of course, to answer.

First of all, yes, I think it's a good idea because you can go out and see new things, new people, new animals and plants, and you can learn new languages and traditions or customs. And the most important thing of a gap year is that you don't need to have a lot of money because at the other country, you can get a job where you get paid but you must to pay everything you buy: or you can get a job that doesn't get paid, but you have  all expensis paid.
Obviously, I think it's better to have your gap year after the university because you're more mature and you have more experience of life.

During the year, you can do lots of things, you could get a job, or be a volunteering, you could do what you want to do!

My perfect gap year should be in New Zeland after the university, it's one of my dreams since I was a child. In my perfect trip I would work in research or like a doctor, because it's what I like. I'd like to spend four or five months there, and if I like the experience, I would like to follow my gap year during next six months.

But.. Now it's only one dream because I've to study and doing this and nexts school year, and I have to keep studying to go to university and get a title, after that I can make my dream come true.

Wild child

Film review

I want to speak about this film, not for the film, also for the lesson that it gives you about life.
When the film start, the main character is Poppy, a rich Malibú girl, she doesn't behave and she don't think the consequences of what he do. This is the reason why her father takes Poppy to England in a boarding school. At the first time she felt so bad and she wanted to come back to home, but she can't. In the school they have forbidden the use of the phone, for Poppy it was a shock.

While the weeks passes, she was making new friends in the school and she saw that it's better than it thought when he arrived at the school.
In the school she knew a boy, he's the son of Ms. Kingsley, the director, and his name was Fredy. By the time they felt in love. But Poopy's still breaking rules to be removed to Malibú.
At the dance of the school, they speak a lot and they get a quote to next Saturday.
They both passed a great saturday, and had their first kiss. Well, the problems started when their come back to the school. Poopy's friends were so angry with her because he found a letter in which there were typed bad things of theirs; and when she wanted Freddy, he was angry too.
A few days later, a portion of the school was burned and she though she was the guilty, but finally she was able to prove she was innocent, and she could follow her life with her brittish friends and Freddy.

With this film I learned that you can change if you do, you only have to starte a new path, and trust yourself. You must be much better every day like a person. If a daddy's little girl could, you can!

Hunger and Famine - Oral presentation

Self evaluation of my oral presentation.

Presentation (10%): We udes a prezi to show our presentation and into the prezi there were two videos to show better what we wanted to say, in the prezi there were some photos and graphics to show the statistics.
Body language and eye contact (10%): I tried to look on the face of my audience while I spoke but I vas so nervous.
Structure (10%): We organized our ideas in order, we started to introduction the topic and explain the meaning of a few words like "starvation" and "famine". We also were creative with our presentation and we put graphics and videos.
Content (40%): What can I say about that? I think that is a good topic to explain because it's happening in our world but it seems that people don't want to see it, is an issue that reaches the heart.
Language (20%):I think that the language was good and rich and we used a few special words and past and condicional tenses. We also used linkers.
Pronunciation (10%): I think our pronunciation wasn't the best but I think it was good if we think that we were nervous and there were difficult words.
Final Mark: 9
I think we have to improve our eye contact and we have to drink a tea before do next presentation!

Global warming

global warming now it's the worst  than ever there was. And people don't understand the importance of this problem. If it increases the world can be destroyed, because we can't live in the Earts without our atmosphere and the ozone layer, because it protects us from rays of light and if it were destroyed, the Earth would burn.
A lot of people know that information, me too, but a lot of them are still doing same things that can harm the atmosphere and us. Only a small part of the population change their routines to help our world and reduce the pollution, but if we don't put our grain of sand, we will achieve nothing.

There are some organitzations, like the most famous, greenpeace fight for have a better world, without much pollution, or oil waste. They do everything they can, and sometimes, at the end they have problems for having done it.

In my opinion, we all have to do something to help our world, our plants, our animals, to avoid suffering in the future, it's only my opinion but I'm more aware than some other people, I know that population have to do something, and they have to do NOW.

First of batxillerat.

Well, today I want to speak about this school year, I think it's the hardest I've ever done.
When other students tell me that it was really hard and you had to work everyday, I did'n believe it, I thought that they were exaggerating, but now I can confirm that it's difficult.
When I started this school year, I've got some problems, but I didn't do what I had to do, and now I'm paying for it.
I'm doing scinentific batxillerat and some classes are boring and not interesting, but others like chemical or fhisical are made for me, I think that these two subjects are rather interesting, the future.
But I relaxed during the year, and I didn't work as I have done havid. And you think you have a lot of time to do everything, but time passes so fast, and at the end, you've done everything at the last time.
This is only a reflection, not only for others, also for me, because now I have to work hard to get the marks I want, and also for the next year, because next year is harder than this, I know that I have to fight if I want to get my objectives and of course I have to prepare rather well the selectivity (tests PAU)

North Korea projectile

North Korea fires projectile into eastern waters

5 words I didn't know:
Range-> abast
Diplomacy-> diplomàcia
Easing->alleujar
Eastern-> oriental
State of war-> estat de guerra

Summary:
North Korea shoots missiles short range routinely, but the latest shoots ocurred during a period of tentative diplomacy to easing recent tension because North Korea want to attack EUA and South Korea. The last projectile was fired last Sunday, it was into waters off its eastern coast. Washington don't beliebe that Korea has the necessary technology to win the possible future war. We have to remember that North Korea is officially in state of war.

Opinion:
We must be aware that this is a big problem, not only for EUA, North and South Korea, is for all countries, because it could start the third world war, today some countries have a lot of technology to build biological bombs or others that could be more powerful than Hiroshima bombs, and it affects the whole world. This countries must think in what are they doing, because they're putting everyone in danger.

Baloon crash

Balloon crash kills tourists in Cappadocia, Tourkey.

5 words I didn't know:

Ballooning: vols en globus

Ascending:ascendent

Torn open: es va esquinçar obert

Shaken: commogut

Inquiry: Investigació

Summary:

Ballooning has become a popular business in Cappadocia, because there are a lot of tourists and they like it so much. Today, 20th May, one ascending balloon was torn open as it hit the basket of other balloon, the accident happened in Cappadocia, and it killed two brazilian tourists and injured more than 20 people. People who saw rhis, feel shaken. Luckly, people who was injured now stay stable.
Turkey's civil aviation agency says it has launched an inquiry.

Opinion:
Well, propably the balloon are not in a good condicions, or the pilot hadn't consider the necessary steps. The most surprising is that is not the first time that happen something like this, and ballooning is a famous business, I don't know how a boss can allows this big recklessness. I believe the accidents happen, but not without a fail of someone.

Famous Zebras

Rudy Giuliani

These strong shouldered quadrupeds are closely related to horse personalities. But since zebras have evolved in the competitive environment of the African plains, they've developed a tougher exterior and more aggressive demeanor than their cousins.
Those that come into contact with the zebra find it to be a powerfully loyal and intelligent friend. Its black and white nature shuns the gray zones of compromise and its decided idealism is incapable of accepting defeat in an argument. Zebras find it difficult to be punctual when it comes to meeting commitments that have little value to them, and close examination of this trait reveals the subtle arrogance that pervades the zebra's personality.
While its behavior might be construed as selfish, the zebra is generally appalled to discover that others have perceived it to be egotistical. Zebras always expect to be given the benefit of the doubt and are perpetually on the offensive when it comes to setting the record straight with regard to their motives.
Wild and untamable, zebras have quite an aggressive streak and their enormous self-confidence gives them an unusually swaggering gait. Quick to anger, a zebra's temper often gets the better of it and they are considered so volatile that even lion personalities will think twice before accosting them. However, they rarely initiate these confrontations and are peaceable and self-contained if left alone. Zebras have a tendency to view the world in black and white and have a strong sense of right and wrong. Unlike their horse cousins, they are unwilling to be saddled with the burdens of others and insist that everyone carry his or her own weight.
Once the zebra's mind is made up, it is difficult to shift its position, which explains its reputation for stubbornness. This reputation is somewhat unfounded however, since the zebra's opinions are only formed after deliberate and logical consideration. This analytical thinking primes them for careers in science, engineering, accounting and football refereeing.
Zebras' strong sense of justice makes them ideal for careers in the legal system, including police work or law, while their ability to endure a long race might bring them success in politics. Their love for things tangible makes it unlikely that they'll excel in the arts, and a distaste for physical labor makes zebras largely unsuitable for blue-collar jobs.



Well, I not agree partially with the text.
On the one hand I agree with I've got a strong personality and by the time and with the problems that life has put me, I made stronger. I'm a bit competitive but I think it's good. Sometimes I'm agressive if you want to bother me, but the rest of time I'm calm. I'm afraid to commit with someone, because at the past I suffered a lot and I don't want to go back there. Everytime I think what is right and what is wrong, I've many mistakes, like everyone, but I try to be better day after day.
On the other hand, I disagree with the part of the text where say I'm selfish, because I always do what I can for others, and I worry about their problems. Unfortunately, I'm not self-confident at all, yeah..it's a problem, a big problem, but I can't change it. I'm always puntual. I always accept a defeat and I learn from this.
I think I can't compare with an animal, because I'm different at all, I don't say special, I say different, I've got a lot hobbies, I'm a maniacal person, and It's all I can say, there are other things to say, but not to put here.

Discussion essay

Gap year

A lot of people before going to university, travel around the world to have a lot of experiences. This is known as a gap year. It consists of getting away from your rutine and travel to another country to find out what you really want to do in your future.

On the one hand, it's a very good way to find yourself and to meet new people and learn aother cultures. It's very interesting because you see the real life and put you in the shoes of other people. In addition, you don't need to be a millionaire to do a gap year because there are a lot of offers to work in the country you are.

On the other hand, you may not like the country or the people there and you want come back home but the flights are very expensive and you have to pay them on your own. It's also truth that you probably will miss your family and friend.

In conclusion, if you have enough money and you will do it, get on a plane and do it because we think that's a wonderful and amazing experience and we can not wait to do it ourselves.

Passenger - Let her go

Well you only need the light when it’s burning low / Bé, només necessites la llum quan s'està consumint
Only miss the sun when it’s starts to snow / només troves a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar

Only know your lover when you let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low /només saps que has estat amunt quan et sents a baix 
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home / només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Only know your lover when you’ve let her go / nomes saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
And you let her go / i la deixes marxar

Staring at the bottom of your glass / mirant fixament al fons del teu got
Hoping one day you will make a dream last / esperant el dia en que facis durar un somni
The dreams come slow and they go so fast / els somnis arriben a poc a poc i se'n van tan ràpid
You see her when you close your eyes / la veus quan tenques els ulls
Maybe one day you will understand why / potser un dia entendràs perquè
Everything you touch all it dies / tot el que toques, segur que mor

Because you only need the light when it’s burning low / perquè només necessites la llum quan s'està consumint
Only miss the sun when it’s starts to snow/ només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar
Only know your lover when you’ve let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low / només saps que has estat amunt quan et sens a baix
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home / només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Only know your lover when you let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar

Staring at the ceiling in the dark / mirant fixament al sostre en la foscor
Same old empty feeling in your heart / el mateix sentiment vell i buit en el teu cor
Love comes slow and it goes so fast / l'amor arriba a poc a poc i marxa tan ràpid
Well you see her when you fall asleep / bé, quan la veus et quedes adormit
But to never to touch and never to keep / però mai per acariciar i mai per quedar-te
Because you loved her too much/ perquè la vas estimar massa
And you dive too deep / i et vas enfonsar massa profundament

Because you only need the light when it’s burning low / perquè tu només necessites la llum quan s'està consumint
Only miss the sun when it’s starts to snow / només trobes a faltar el sol quan comença a nevar
Only know your lover when you’ve let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low / només saps que has estat amunt quan et sents a baix
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home / només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Only know your lover when you’ve let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar

And you let her go / i la deixes marxar
Ooooo ooooo oooooo / ooooo ooooo ooooo
And you let her go / i la deixes marxar
Ooooooo ooooo ooooo / ooooooo ooooo ooooo
And you let her go / i la deixes marxar

Because you only need the light when it’s burning low / perquè només necessites la llum quan s'està consumint
Only miss the sun when it’s starts to snow/ només trobes a faltar el sol quan està començant a nevar
Only know your lover when you’ve let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low / només saps que has estat amunt quan et sent a baix
Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home/ només odies la carretera quan trobes a faltar casa teva
Only know your lover when you’ve let her go / només saps que l'estimes quan la deixes marxar
And you let her go/ i la deixes marxar.

Boston bombing attack

Boston bombing suspects had planned July 4 attack

Summary:
The two brothers Tamerlan y Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were accused for a low enforcement official. 
He said both brothers advanced their attack because they complete the building bombs earlier they thought.
They dettoned the two bombs April 15, the day that boston celebrates a marathon.
Police think they're not the only, they're investigating other suspects because they can destroy peace in Boston and kill a lot of innocent people.

Personal opinion:
At the fisrt time I know that news, I thought it was a joke, but when I read it for a second time I can't believe it. How can a person attack other innocent people? I don't know how, but I think this person is a monster. The world is everyday worst, some people are mad and I think we must do what we can to change it.

5 words I didn't know:
Low enforcement official -> funcionari de baix compliment
Advanced->avançar
Dettoned->detonar
Suspects->sospitosos
Marathon-> Marató
