RBD

Today I am going to talk about my favourite group of music is RBD
RBD was beggining in 2004 with a programme tv "rebelde".
The group is compound for six members, three girls and three boys:
Anahi, Dulce, Maite, Alfonso, Christian and Christopher.
In 2004 they did the first concert.
I went to the concert in 2008 in Barcelona, with my two friends Bea and Marc.
It was a perfect day, it was incredible. But one of the six members, cannot come because she
was doing a programme tv. I knew when I was doing the line, and in this moment I was
feeling bad, because I look forward this day for see the six members, not five.
And on December in 2008, they did the last concert in Madrid, but I can't go because
my parents don't permit go there.

Opinion Essay

We have almost learnt to respect our world.

I disagree with the idea that we have almost learnt to respect our world. In my opinion, we do not do enough to respect our world.

I think, that we can do more for our world. We can recycle, between other things. Although there are people who recycle, but other people who do not.

Also, in the floor streets there are papers, bottles, dirt..

In my opinion, pollution is an important problem, and one solution is that we can use the bike when we go to one near site, and use the car less because it’s better for our world.

In addition the biggest problem, are the industries. The laws aren’t strong enough for the industries because these have power to influence about the government.

In conclusion, I would say that we have to do more to respect and look after our world.

Summer

Today, I am going to talk about the summer.

In two weeks we are going to finish the school.

I hope that I don’t fail any subject, because if I fail one subject I will have to study in the summer, and I don’t want it.

In this summer I will have to help my mother in the butcher’s and for this reason I will work some hours in the morning and some hours more in the afternoon, but Sunday not.

And I get money for work, but if I hadn’t need the money, I woudn’t work this year.

Also, every Wednesday, during two hours, I will go to have English lessons.

And every day I will try to go in the beach or in the swimming pool, and meet with my friends.

In addiction, this summer I have to start to do “el treball de recerca”.But I don’t want it, because the summer isn’t for do things of school.

I look forward that the summer arrive, I want to do holidays, and I hope that this summer will be perfect.

New case of racist aggression

A Portuguese national of Guinean origin was beaten up by two young men on April 8 in the small town of Catellar del Vallès, near Sabadell. The victim, 44, was walking in a public square when the two men began insulting him. He walked on and paid no attention to the attackers, who then jumped on him and began kicking him while he lay on the ground. Some residents witnessed the attack and phoned the police, who came within minutes and arrested the two men. The victim was taken to Sabadell hospital and he is due for release soon despite his injuries. The attackers are both members of a neo-Nazi group that is very active in the area, and which organised an attack on a rock band performing in Castellar three years ago. One of the assailants, Abraham Fernandez, 22, has been arrested 14 times before.

New guest at Barcelona zoo

The gorilla Awali is the latest newcomer to arrive in the Barcelona zoo. The animal will be living in the same cage that Snowflake, the deceased albino gorilla, used to occupy. Snowflake became a symbol of the city and was the most visited animal in the zoo until he died one year ago. The arrival of a new gorilla at the zoo, even if it is not an albino, has created great expectations. A spokesperson has said that he thinks that there will be a significant increase in the number of visits to the zoo. 13 years old, 200 kilo Alawi has come from Paignton zoo, in Britain, within the framework of an European exchange program involving several zoos. The main aim of Alawi's stay in Barcelona is reproductive. Hi is living with four female gorillas, the same ones that shared the installations with Snowflake. European zoos encourage the reproduction of animals in captivity so that there is no need to hunt those who are still living in freedom.

In addiction, the zoo has launched a camapign entitled "Lets's save rhinos" which aims to help prevent the animals from becoming extinct.

Informal letter

C/ Onze de Setembre, nº 62

Sant Pere Pescador – Girona

26 March 2010.

Dear Kieron,

If you want to know about places and activities about my country for your holidays, I am going to explain about this. I recommend the places to visit and the activities which you can do.

The capital of Spain (my country) is “Madrid” but I think that if you come here the city that you have to visit is “Barcelona”.

I like Barcelona because it’s a big and beautiful city, but it’s noisy.

There are people with different personality, I mean that the majority people are friendly, but you can find a person who is rude.

You can do some differents things, for example, in this city there are a lot of shops, there are cinemas, you can skate, you can go to the Barça stadium, there are commercial centers for buy, there is a beautiful square, there is a zoo, there is a beautiful beach where you can go in summer, there are bars and restaurants.. And if you like the parks of adventurous you go to “Tibidabo”.

If you go to Barcelona you must to visit “la sagrada familia”, “el parc Güell”, “la casa batllo” and “el monument de Cristobal Colon”.

Finally, you have to go in the harbour, because is one of the most important in Spain.

The weather in this city in winter it’s cold but not very, and in summer it’s hot. If you come here in winter you’ll need a coat, and if you come here in summer you’ll need a little clothing, and swimsuit.

See you soon.

University

Today I’m going to talk about the university. Two months ago I with my course went to the university in Barcelona, and the next week to univeristy in Girona. In there everyone went to a different class for hearing talks about what we can study in the University.

I don’t know in which University I do my studies. I like the two cities.

Barcelona’s University is good, but the building is ugly, and in some parts of the Girona’s University is more beautiful. Also depends about my notes. But in Barcelona I have family and this is one advantage because I have one house, and this is very important, instead in Girona I will have to rent one flat.


I am secure that I want to study “Administració i direcció d’empreses (ADE)” or anything relacionated about economy, because I like it. And for this reason in the univerities I went to hearing a discussion about ADE and everyday I like more, because I think that is interesting and the topics for the future are importants. Also, I think that this studies have got different departures, and I can work for example in a bank or in a company. Also I went to hearing a discussion about tourism but I don’t like, and I am secure that I won’t to study it.

Now, I have one year approximately for decided in which University I will go for study.

Film review

Today I'm going to do a critic of the film: "Un sueño para ella".

The main characters of the film are Daphne, Henry, Libby and Ian.

The film is about Daphne who has got everything that she want, but she dreams about find her father, because she don't know him. She decided to go in London where she discover that her father Henry is an important man in there. Also she knows Ian, and they fall in love. When Daphne go to live with Henry, she want to change her father, and with go with him in a parties, fashion events and social events. But with her father she can't be herself, and she doesn't like live in there.

I like this film because it's fanny and isn't boring. Also I like the characters, because the girl is about seventeen or eighteen and it's more modern. I have seen "Un sueño para ella" two or three times, because I like so much.

I recomend this film for people between thirteen and twenty years.

Self evaluation

When I was doing my oral presentation:

I spoke about differents problems in Salt. We used a powerpoint. Approximately my part during five minutes. I try to looked my companions and my teacher. I tried didn't look my notes. I moved my hands almost all the oral presentation because I was nervous. We organized all the information in differents parts, in this order: immigration, robs, racism, drguds and problems of coexistence. We used words like: first, then, now, after. I think that all of my companions know something about Salt, but I am secure that they now know more things. We searched information in the internet in different pages. I think that my grammar was good, but with some mistakes. My vocabulary wasn't much rich and varied. I used some sentence linker like: and, also. But I dind't use pause fillers. I found all my words for know the pronunce, but maybe some of they I pronunce bad. I check some words in a dictionary. I think that I used a monotone tone all the time. I think that I spoke very fluid, because I studied my text. I believe that I got a mark of six.

My oral presentation

-Now I am going to talk about the immigration, the racism and the drugs.

· Immigration is the introduction of new people into a habitat or population.

The immigration have got negatives and positives ascpects. I think that the immigration could show most positives factors that negatives. For this reason I think that the immigration is not a problem, but is a challenge.

The problem appear when the results of the phenomenon is concentreted in a particular social or geographic group. And this is the problem in Salt.

In 2000, the immigration was around 10%, in 2004 was around 25%, and today is more 35%. And they think that in the next years of the economic growth Salt will be more immigrant population than native.

Now, we don’t help integrate two or three neighbors who just arribed in the building, now, in the most of buildings they are the majority.

But the famous “integration” every day is more difficult, because every day there are much people for integrate and less people who want to help integrate those people that come here.

Racism: Racism is the belief that race is a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

The immigrants in Salt, complain because when they pass in the streets, they are besieged. They say: “the police arrest us and they usually hit us, often times in the same night but they don’t remeber that we have registred a half an hour ago. They treat like criminals and the spanish boys they don’t look. We are tired that they use insult us. We have the same laws like the spanish people, we pay our taxes and we work and to quote here.”

· Drugs: is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.

The most of the students don’t finish their studies, and they dedicated to sell drugs for the Salt streets, and some of them also consum. This is the only solution that they find for have money, because they haven’t got studies for get a good job.

For example, in some streets there are moroccan teenagers that they are smoking “hachis” in a door of a chinese restaurant. Most of them were born in Catalonia. They don’t studying or working. They play in a billiards, speak about cars or speak about have a wallet full of money..
