Alana Smith

Twelve-years-old Alana Smith became one of the most relevant woman-skater in the world, because she is a star.

The last 16th Alana was the most younger skater who won a medal in X Games. She stayed a time in the first position and she did a very spectacular and great trick. In all the round she tried to do a "McTwist" and with this form she became the first woman to land this difficult trick in X games.

All the public and her family were with her. The public were devoted with she and her exhibition, and when finished the game and she returned to her hotel she found much people to get a photo or signature with her.

For she the X games in Barcelona was a good experience. 

I watched the final and for me she is a star. I don't like skate to much but when I watched she I like a lot, and I will meet she and turn watch she. Please watch a little part of her exhibition an you think the same.

In l'Alt Empordà

In l'Alt Empordà Local dishes are the traditional bread with tomato, esqueixada (tomato, cod, onion and red and green pepper), escalibada (aubergine, onion, red pepper, oil and potato). My favorite is escudella (soap with pasta and meat).

If you come to the Alt Empordà, You Should Also try anchovies from Scale for dinner, for lunch, at any time. I recommended because it's a delicious appetizer.

For dessert you can order a variety of sweet dishes. For example I recommended crema Catalana, and brunyols flaonas from Figueres.

The traditional place drinks are wine and cava. And if you will try to sweat a drink you must try Garnatxa.

This is a really summery of traditional food of Alt Empordà, I Encourage you to come here.

The funny theory (Presentation)

Hello classmate today I will present a theory for improve your life.

I choose a story fun Wolfsvagen present a competition of the best idea to improve the life of  people. The competition is a idea for advertising campaign of Wolfsvagen. The idea appears in 2009 but I think it's good for eveybody know this.

I choose 3 or 4 ideas of campaign and now I show you them.

Normally when the people take the subway they prefer the escalator than stairs, for this the idea is promote the exercise and the use of stairs. Now you can see a video of set-up a special and magic stairs.

As I was saying this is a great idea because more than 60% of people prefer the stairs than escalator. I think it's good since the people do exercise while their laugh.

The world now is polluted because many people don't recycle. For this the idea is promote the recycle while you can enjoy yourself.

Wolfsvagen creates a bin with a game. Consist in put bottles in the hole of shine the light. It's quite difficult to understand yet with the video is easier.

I like this idea because it's a form to recycle with a smile. Also I think if have much machine similar to this all the people recycle.

Today everybody knows the DJs world and the next idea is encourage the people to clean the shoes before enter of the place. When the people clean it sound a music. Watch in the video.

The idea is very interesting because with a funny form the people do a boomed action. It's true much people don't clean the shoes and with this form  I think much people cleaning.

These are the funny stories of Wolfsvagen. And now for end the presentation I will explain a really happy and funny story. The story of free hugs.

The free hug!!

I choose news of TV. I saw and I thought it's a good new to explain to the others.

The new explain the story of a man, who after the death of his grandmother, decides sharing his love with the people and he gives free hugs. At the first moment it was difficult but after some people did hug.

One day a band decided to do a video clip with the hug man story and post it to YouTube and it was an exit because now many people know about him his story.

After the video clip the Sydney government demanded an insurance to continue sharing out the hugs. And he and the band asked with signatures to the law. And they achieved 10000 signatures.

But only the video clip achieved the law stop. After a week the video clip was seen by approximately a million people. And after that it appeared in Good morning American and another million people watched this.

I like this news a lot because it's really positive and it's a form to better the life of the people. And I think I see a person with a sign: free hug

¡I give a hug!   

Ladies .vs. Boys

Hello, ladies and gentleman today in Listen and think we talk about Ladies and Boys. We will ask a question: Who are better, ladies or boys?

To speak about this topic today Alexis Mcgregor are with us, she is a teacher at the high school, she lives every day surrender by girls and boys. We also got Izan Pluscuard, he is a psychologist of the Institute of behavioural studies of the people.

Thanks for coming today.

Hello Martha the topic is very interesting. Thanks you for invent me.

It's a pleasure. And come on, we start to talk about behaviour. I read few days ago a news article that explained the rate of drinking, girls drink more than other years, now it's approximately the 70%of the girls who minimum two times in the week.

What do you think about that? It's really bad rate because this means how ladies forger all the sophistication?

Yes, Martha sure. Today the girls aren't sophisticated, they only think of drink and tattoos. The typical really, perfect girls have disappeared.

I disagree because what rules say the girls need be sophisticated and perfect women. If they will be bad girls and have tattoos, they have all the power.

Yes of course but the appearance of these girls isn't the best. Because it's more difficult to find a job or a flat because the appearance is really important and sometimes the first impression is the truth. Probably not for every girl but for many yes.

So the conclusion of the girls is:                                                              

they have all the power of their life but it's better to have a great and pretty impression.

Another question is it the boys are gentlemen? And why at do to understand for gentleman?

Now I read the definition of gentleman: a man who is cultured, courteous, and well-educated. Do you are agree with this?

Please sent me your opinions.

(Do it on 24-5-13)

A really good book

This third term I choose a book to do a review. I will review one of my favourite books I read a lot but this book is different for many reasons it's different because the topic is varied, it's an erotic novel. Because it's an adult novel and I read it. Because I read it in a few days. For these and for other reasons the book is different and special.

The tittle of the book is Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L James. The history explains the life of Anastasia Steel. A girl of 21-year-old and all begins when she goes to an interview in her friends place with Christian Grey, a very important business owner. The feelings between them appear immediatly. But she  is so naive and he's so daring.

After the first date the lives of Chistian and Ana change because they meet so times. Always Christian appears when Ana needs him.

One day Ana, after the finishing her exams, goes to a bar with her friends. In a moment one of her friends Jose attempts to kiss her but Christian arives and stops him. Ana leaves with Christian and all begins. Because since this moment they start a relationship. But a different relationship because Christian  insists that she signs a non-disclosure agreement. But there another paper work: an agreement ofdominance and submission and they not have a romantic relationship, only a sexual one.

For Ana all this is very strange because she's virgin and doesn't know anything about BDSM. 

But she accepts the agreement and intent a sexualship.

Since that  more things happens but I not explain you. If you will know these things read the book I recomend it warmly.

One day I ring Ian up and we discussed with the place where will we go for holidays. We decided to go to Argentina.

We broke off from work and got on a plain. After 12 hours we got to airport at 7 a.m. First we went to the hotel and unpacked. There we met a lady, her name was Joan. After unpacking we got out with her to do some sightseeing. We visited a beach and sorted out our wedding. The maid of honour was Joan and Bruno, Joan's husband, was the godfather. After the wedding we took up dancing and it was a really good Celebration.

The day my mother turned up late to the weeding. On the night Ian gave a gift, it was a digital frame. I switched it on and all our photos appeared. Other gift was Ian gave up drinking, now he is a great man.

During our holidays we looked up all the information about our flight back home. But go to the flight was cancel and we need past two days more in Argentina. After we visited different museum and came in Casa Rosada. It was very pretty and very beautiful. After days we got off plain and came back to our house.

Informal letter

Castelló d' Empúries

Girona

Spain

9th April 13

Dear Lídia,

Thanks for your letter. I'm really happy to hear that you're well.

Regarding your question: What place you choose for a gap year?

I visited different place in the world but in my opinion a good city for your gap year in London.

London is a very interesting city because many cultures live in harmony and it's a good opportunity to meet them.

My first impression when I arrived to London was: Oh my God! All in this city is amazing.

I think I left this because all I watched the building, the squares, the people were different and wonderful.

I accommodated myself next to Trafalgar Square to be really close to the center, but if you accommodate in other place it's no problem because the city has public transport.

For these and for other things I think London is the best option.

For example, I will recommended you different places to visit. If you will see all the cultures in London go to any market of the different areas. But if you only will know culture visit the British museum and National Gallery they are amazing places to see interesting things.

I think I helped you but if you will know more things about London for example the money, the activities or people send me another letter.

Bye Lídia, I love you.

XOXO

PS: In London keep with the weather is very changing.

Now I choose some of my favourite photos about phrases and I translate them to Spanish.

Top 10 English songs for me...

I love  the songs:

·         22 by Taylor Swift

·         Impossible by James Arthur

·         I will always love you by Whitney Houston

·         Count on me by Bruno Mars

·         Little Things by One Direction

Because they have a special meaning for me and for my boy friend because their lyrics are so

magical and romantic, they all are different but when you listen to them you feel the same: your

smile appears in your face and you're happy all day.

I can say that they are our songs.

I like the songs:

·         Feel this moment by Pitbull and Christina Aguilera

·         Don't stop the party by Pitbull and TJR

Because with these songs I feel happy and I feel like going out and I want to dance. Always

when you listen these songs your body begins to follow the rhythm.

I think It's a good song:

·         Diamonds by Rihanna

Because I think that the artist sings really good and do particularly music like in this song,

Diamonds. It also is a dynamic and shaker  song. Nowadays it's chorus is one of the most

famous and everybody sings it.

I believe that this song is so funny:

·         It's time by Imagine dragons

Because it has an important message in its lyrics and I also listened it to a lot of time ago because

I listened to a beautiful cover in one of my favourite tv  series, Glee.

One of favourite songs is:

·         On the floor by Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull

Because It's the song that I love with my best friend, we always dance on it because it has a

funny rhythms a single lyric and a Latin and hot  music.

The tattoo

One of my dreams is that I will get myself a tattoo. I decide to take a Peter Pan tattoo. I love the story about this boy because for me the message he gives is really positive. It's true his story is very sad because he never gets his dream. But his message is really magic: Always I will be a child.

I'm between two parts of my body to do the tattoo, I'm between my right feet or before my left ear. It's a very difficult decision because I will a place where it's difficult to see it. Therefore I think I finally get it before my left ear. But one thing that  I'm not sure to do it is because in Thailand or Asia's countries they don't let you to enter in thermal baths if you have a tattoo. And for this I'm not sure but is my dream and I will do it.

Flatmate

Hello, I’m Marta Moreno and I look for a flatmate. Now I leave all the information about me and my flat.

I begin with my flat. My flat is in the center of Barcelona, next to San Paul hospital and Park Güell. It is five mºinutes from the metre walking. Therefore it's a good place. The flat is very big, for stay in Barcelona, it’s 110 m^2. I have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathroom, 1 kitchen and lounge dining room. It's a big flat and comfortable. 

And now I explain my character. I'm a very extroverted person. I'm very clean and tidy person. I thing t I'm an easygoing person but it's true sometimes I'm selfish. I don't have a car but I'm a good cook. For this I look for a person who have a car. In the house I can't have any pets.

But the free time  isn't a problem because I'm a very interesting person and extroverted. Although I'm a teetotaller but I like the parties to much.

For all these reason I thing I'm a good flatmate.  But for me flatmate I need different requirements:

·        Any animal

·        social drinker

·        Interesting person

·        Clean and tidy person

·        Non-smoker

The prize of the flat is 475 € for bedroom and shared expenses. With disposition of washer, Wifi and telephone.

Thanks for your attention. 

Luna

Luna is a girl who was born on the 23th of September in 2009. She's little short and a bit roly-poly. Her hair is brown, curly and long. Her eyes are very big, they are grey and very expresive.

She has little hands and feet. In her face the most representative things are her lips, rosy and full, and the teeth, these are very white. Also hernose is little and funny. All she is beautiful and pretty.

She has a very special character. Because she is a very happy person, she always has a smile on her face but  she is also stubborn and it's very difficult to make her change her opinion. One of the most beautiful things about her charachter is her soulful aspect. She is extroverted and friendly and sometimes loving. Normally she talks a lot with her family and her friends and it's very nice because her voiceis very sweat. Her sociable aspect is possible to see when she gives hugs to everybody.

I like on aspect of Luna very much. I love her stubborn because when she dicedes a thing, she does it and nobody changes her opinion. For me this is important because I like perseverance.

Other thing I like about her it's her love for her brother. It's true sometimes she disturbs him but, they cannot live without cachother and this is really love action.

I love her and for this I will describe her. For me her bith is very special.

Anna Karenina's life

Now I will explain the biography  of an irreal character. I choose Anna the character of Tolstoi's novel.

She was botn in 1877 in Sant Petersburg. She had a brother, his name was Stepan but everybody called him Stiva.

She moved many times and she travelled all around rusha. She was married, her husband was called Aleskei and they had a son Seiozha. While she was visiting her brother she  fell in love with a man, Vrosky. They were together but her husband didn't give her the divorce. She nearly died during the birth of her daughter Anne.

Her life was bad after meeting Vrosky.

Even her son belived dead. She went crazy with jealusey of her husband. Her life ended when she committed suicide ans a train killed her. After that her first husband took care ot her sons. 

It's possible to match her life in new film: Anna Karenina. 

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time in a forest...

This is the beginning of the series. We watched the first chapter. The series is very strange because all the time viewers travel back in the time. The series explain two stories but they are connected. The first story talks about Snow White and her family. The second story explains the life of Snow White's daughter.

I like the idea to much because they connected all. The fairy tales and the real life. It's good because all in the series it's think through.

One of the most beautiful things in the series is the name of the town. All the story succeed in a little town and its name is storybrooke and it's a very good idea because the name explains the history of the place and of their people.

I never watched the series but now I think, I begin to watch because I will know all the story not only the beginning. And I will encourage the other people to watch this.
