FINAL COURSE!!

Can you see an improvement on your level of English since September 2007? Where, for exemple?

I see an impprovement on my level of English with my oral presentation, because the first oral presentation I was very nervous and my pronuntation was bad because I pronounced a lot of bad words for exemple: because! I said [bicaus] and now I has understood that this word is said [bicos].

Also, in my opinion I has improved on writing, now I have better expresioned because we have practised a lot and we have worked a lot! With work everybody imporves.

Finally, I think that now I have better flouency.

Wich activity best shows your level of English?

The activity that best shows my level of English are the oral presentations.

Which activities were really USEFUL for on to improve your English? Why?

Speak in class and do the portfolio, because it's the way that we demostrate all we have understood.

Which activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not?

The activities that I think that I don't learn English is the potdcast because it's a waste of time.

Which activities did you enjoy doing and would like to do again next year?

The activities that I like are watching films and doing the blogspot.

The films are good because it helps to learn new words, and the blogspot are good because we learn writing.

Too much importance is given to exam at school. Do you agree?

I disagre with the sistem of the school because I think that also there is a lot of things for avaluation, because I’m working more than other friends with homeworks and other things, but finally the teachers only avaluate the exams and this is not fair.

It is clear than the students work a lot but for exemple if one boy does the exams very well but always speak in class and never listen the teacher, and an other hand I listen a lot in class but the exam is bad for me, he will have better final mark!

In addition, I think that we work hard at home with the homeworks. For exemple, in english, with the portfolio and with the blogspot but the difference is that in English subject is only subject that avaluate a lot the work that we do at home.

In conclusion, and after this fanthastic arguments I think that the batxillerat wourld be a lot of bad.
I hope that the next year the things changes and also this forms for study.

Leviathan

TEXT 3 : Leviathan, cap. XVII: “Of the causes, generation and definition of a Cammon wealth” (primer de la segona mart: “Of Commonwealth”)
The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another, and thereby to secure them in such sort as that by their own industry and by the fruits of the earth they may nourish themselves and live contetedly, is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will: which is as much as to say, to appoint one man, or assembly of men, to bear their person; and every one to own and acknowledge himself to be author of whatsoever he that so beareth their person shall act, or cause to be acted, in those things which concern the common peace and safety; and therein to submit their wills, every one to his will, and their judgements to his judgement. This is more than consent, or concord; it is a real unity of them all in one and the same person, made by convenant of every man with every man, in such manner as if every man should say to every man: I authorise and give up my right of governing myself to this man, or to this assembly of men on this condition; that thou give up, thy right to him, and authotise all his actions in like manner. This done, the multitude so united in one person is called a COMMONWEALTH; in Latin, CIVITAS. This is the generation of that great LEVIATHAN, or rather, to speak more reverently, of that mortal god to which we owe, under the immortal God, our peace and defence. For by this authotity, given him by every particular man in the Commonwealth, he hath the use of so much power and strength conferred on him that, by terror thereof, he is enabled to from the wills of them all, to peace at home, and mutual aid against their enemies abroad. And in him consisteth the essence of the Commonwealth; which, to define it, is: one person, of whose acts a great multitude, by mutual covenants one with another, have made themselves every one the author, to the end he may use the strength and means of them all as he shall think expedient for their peace and common defence.

This is a philosopher text that we did in class

Invent!!

THE PIANO



In my opinion, the best invention is the piano because if this instruments hasn’t been invented, what would I do?

Well, the piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1690 aproximatly, when it was created he called his instrument gravicembalo col piano e forte.

The piano is a musical string instrument with 88 keyboards that is played with the ten fingers of hands and with the pedals that we have presioned with our foods. The keyboards accione a mecanisme of hammers that hits the strings, and these vibrations are transmit a sound that amplifies them.
There are many manufecturers of pianos as Roland, Yamaha, and others, and also there are many types of pianos, the grand piano, Upright piano and digital piano.

This instrument is used to play musical pieces lonely, with company or for composing.

This invention is important for humanity because if it hadn’t been invented many people wouldn’t have existed be even exist
As Johann Sebastian Bach, Mozart, Beethoven...etc, and surely, now the music wouldn’t be anything because this is the main instrument to compose great songs.

Finally, I think that the music is the way to express our feelings.

We have almost learnt to respect our would. Do you agree?

I’m disagree that we have almost learnt to respect our world, even though I believe that every time we are more aware of that.

It’s clear that we are aware and for this we have got create electricity with sunlight, manufacture vehicles that pollute less or put bicycles to the city centre such as Barcelona, withdraw the prodcuts that not benefit the environment like deodorants, do the speakings for prevents the fires in the forests and speakings for teach to respect the environment since of childhood, also we have done recycling campaings here in Castelló, ang many other things.

But even this, the people continue take car for go to everywhere, we continue cutting trees and destroing our landscape for build hulg flats, and the manufactures continue contaminating the would even though now we’re suffering the concequences.

In conclusion, although we are concients that our would is degrading ever time faster than they was saying, we won’t be capables to aware until all will revolutionize how for example this year with the water problem, because we haven’t done anything until that the problem knock our door because I always think that we utilize our ability to think for the money.

This new talks about this Ipod wich apeared a few days ago. This Ipod is called Ipod thouch becaus it's tactile.
This man tells us the qualities about it. He says that this Ipod is very light, it has wifi, memoria flash of 8 or 16 GB and with a batery that lastes 22 hours reproducing music and 5 hours reproducing video.
This Ipod hasn't got bluetooth but we can go to Internet.
Acording to what he said, I think that it's a great product but also I think that it isn't useful because it's very expensive, if we want 8 GB it costs 298 euros and if we want 16 GB it costs 389!!
