THE END!

My English compentence in 2009

For me, my best oral evidence is:

and my best written evidence is:
http://laiafont91p.blogspot.com/2008/11/computer-have-made-world-better-place.html

I have chosen these evidence and not others because I think that these are work that I used a correctly vocabulary and good expresions and tricks.
Choosing the best written evidence I had more problems than to choose the best oral, becaue during the last two years I have written ever so many composition, blogs, summaries... And I think that I did quite well in all of them. Yet, I have most definitly improved my writing and so I decided to present one of my last compositions. I have to say that commenting in the forums, etc...
I'm really proud of my work.
To summarize I want to say that after two years of writing my English has improved very much and that with this work I could prove.

My English 2007-2009

About my written documents: From my point of view I now have the tools to analyse the first written document I produced, and comparing it to my last entry.
Frist of all, I had a look at the structure lenguage and fluency of my work, I realized that in my first entry I used a lot of short sentences, repetitions of certain words (really, very...), Spanish translations (spanglish: lost ways instead of secret ways..) incorrect use of prepositions as well as spelling mistakes. Having said that I don't want to say that I don't make any mistakes now, but that now I am able to spot the mistakes I made two years ago. As far as fluency is concerned I jumped from one topic to the other without using connectors.
I think I have proved that in my last composition, thanks to all the posts in the blog.
And about my oral presentations: The first presentation was an easy one because it was about my life and I felt comfortable in presenting it in three minutes. Now the presentations are much longer and the topics very often more challenging.
About my use of language and structure as far as I remember I used inapropriate vocabulary.
As I being nervous, I gesticulated that surely must have made it difficult for my classmates to follow my presentation. However comparing it to my last presentation I would say that I have improved a lot and that now I can be calm while I'm doing a presentation, thanks to the experience of the last two years.
As far as pronunciation is concerned I do have difficulties remembering it but it must have been worse than it's now.
To sum it up I think I have improved in all the linguistic aspects thanks to all the hard work behind.

Hello Mercè!

Hello Pascal!!

I'm Laia,
I watched this film last year and I didn't like anything about this film!
I think that the argument is horrible and is not my style.

BYe!!

A film!

Guido (Roberto Benigni), a young Italian Jew, arrives in Arezzo where he opens a bookshop.
Guido is a romantic and nice person specially when he flirts with Dora (Italian, not Jewish; Nicoletta Braschi).
A few years later, Guido and Dora have a son, Joshua.

In the second half, Guido, Guido's uncle Eliseo, and Joshua are taken to a concentration camp on Joshua's birthday. Dora wants to go with her family to the concentration camp. Guido hides Joshua from the Nazi guards and gives him food.
Guido convinces his son that the camp is just a game; a game who gets 1000 points wins a tank, He tells Joshua that if he cry, he lose poits, while quite boys who hide from the camp guards earn points.

Guido maintains this story right until the end, when he tells his son to stay in a metal box until everybody has left, this being the final test before the tank is his. After trying to find Dora, Guido is caught, taken away, and is shot to death by a Nazi guard.
Joshua survives and thinks he has won the game when an American tank arrives to liberate the camp, and he returned with his mother.

The end is so emotional and sad but the argument is so well.

Composition!

A DIALOG!

Today, we have two mens with us, for speaking about the difference between now and before, in his work, Peter and Josh are farmers but with one difference, Peter is 23 years old and Josh 64 years old.

Peter: Hello, I'm Peter and I started to work farmer because my dad had a log of animals and a log of money in his project, but you, Josh, what is your life?

Josh: Oh, hi friends, I'm 64 years old and I started to work farmer when I had 15 years old, only, the main difference you is that I started because my family needed money and they not wanted to paid a university.

Peter: Yes, I think that it's a very important difference because now if you want to study you have difference opportunities but before it's not possible, and for this, only the rich people had a licence.

Josh: Yes, I agree with you, and also, now the people that their job is farmer, win more money than before.

Peter: Yes, I agree with you!

Ok. We are happy of send you in our show, I hope that the people also like it!

Bye bye Josh and Peter

Peter: Bye! Thank you

Josh: Good night and good luck!

Dear Patry,

How are you? I'm fine, but I know that you are not fine because you are tired of you behaviour your classes, for this I agree with you that this situation need a solution.

When we know you, in the first class, we thought that you were a lot of strict and for this thing we had a correct behaviour in class.

I'm sorry, four our behaviour because we have a good relation ship and if the ghings contunate with this way, ths final course will be horrible because we will have a lot of exams and I think that we have put our part because our relation not be worse.

To sum up, I think that all will be better and I hope that the things have a solution.

See you

kisses*
