Hello, Good Morning,
We are Mercè and Laia, and we want to present a trip to London by our agency.
Here we present our plan of the trip, that consists of leaving on Saturday the twenty eight of February, in the morning and returning on Sunday, the first of March, at night.
Firstly we will take the plane from Girona and we will arrive in Stanstead Airport, we recommend you do not miss the flight because it is very uncomfortable to sleep in this airport.
THere we will find a guide that will accompany us to the hotel, a hotel that is situated in the center of London and whose web page is:
Here you can see some photos about what you will find. There, if you decide to go on this super trip.
The hotel is situated close to the British museum and very close to a Tube station, and important aspect.
Additionally it is important that you know where our rooms are because the hotel is very big, it has almost three thousand bedrooms, two dining rooms, a games room and two bars. These bars are good for passing the night because to go out at night in London is very difficult if you are under age.
Once you have left your bags in the rooms, the first visit we will do is to Big Ben, that certainly most people know and Parlament. After we will get on The London Eye, where we will be able to see all the sights of London.
After The London Eye we will walk along the banks of the river where we will see all the statues and monuments that there are and after we will cross the river and we will go to see Saint Paul's Cathedral, where will have lunch.
After lunch we will go shopping on Oxford Street and also to see Harrods, where we will spend all afternoon.
As it is dark at seven o'clock, what we will do is go to have dinner in the hotel; excelent, typical English Dinners are incuded, and later we will take The Tube and we will go to an area with atmosphere, to see if we can find a pub where we can go in and if we are lucky it will be a day of football because the attitude of the English fans is very good.
Those who don't want to go out, they can stay in the hotel where there is olso entertainment.
On Sunday morning for breakfast we will have typical English Breakfast, with eggs, bacon and sausages.
Ok, in the morning we will visit Buckinham Palace, where we will see The Changing of The Guards, and after we will wolk to Picadilly Circus, China Town and Trafalgar Squere.
After we will take the Tube and we will go to Nothinhill, a well know area. We will have lunch in Tragalgar Square and we will walk in Nothinghill, where we will have a snack.
Finally we will go to the hotel to collect the bags and we will go to the airport where we will take the return flight to Girona. Have a bus will be waiting for us that will take us home.

ORAL PRESENTATION
dilluns, 1 de desembre del 2008
Hi I’m Laia. Mercè and I would like to talk about the differences between dating and asking someone to marry you, in this century and in the XIX century.
I will concentrate on where we meet our partners, and Mercè will talk about the difference in the clothes, and in the finally we talk about wedding.
In the nineteenth century the places to meed your partner were balls.
They were very formal events, often organised when a woman “come of age”, this means when she turned 18. The aim of the balls was for the woman to meed her future husband. Obviously these balls were expensive and were for the middle to upper classes.
Now the girls go to discos, a much less formal event. They go at an earlier age; they go without their parents; and they dance in a very different way, actually touching bodies!
Hello I’m Mercè, Laia has explianed where we meed our partners, I would like to talk to you about the differences in dress code.
The nineteenth century was a romantic age, women wore expensive, formal dresses. The dresses were always long, to the floor, they were corsets and added details, like rubbons to look their best, accessories were simple, and a niquelase or jewels in their hair. The colours of the dresses were pale, beige, light blue etc. The men also dressed elegantly: jacket, long trousers and a short with a cravat. Normally the suit was black.
Now the style is very different! The girls wear what is in fashion, mini skirts, trousers, jumper or a dress. They are much less formal and of a variety of colours. The less clothes, or the shorter the skirt, the better! Accessories are much more obvious.
The boys style is now very casual, again depending on the latest fashions. The boys also wear fashion accessories, even ear rinigs!
asking someone to marry you in the 19th century was also very formal. The man had to ask the father of the woman if the could marry her. They could only marry within their social class. Money and reputation was very important often marriages were organised by the parents, it was not important if the man and woman loved each other!
Now we normally marry for love, choosing our own partners. Money and reputation are not so important.
In conclusion: In a short thime a lot has changed. Todays society is much less formal that in the nineteenth century. THis is much more confortable for us but we must be careful not become too informal.

THE TERMINAL!
One of the best I've ever seen. Tom Hanks played great! He represented a confused man who had just arrived from Krakozia. He didn't know the language, and was not able to leave the airport. A Civil War had broken out in his Nation. So he was a man from nowhere! He coulnd't get a passport, so he had to stay in the terminal until the war finishes.
He made himself comfortable, he had his way to earn money, and moreover, he worked there as a constructor!
And one day, he met an impressive woman, however, she was already promised but agreed to some dinners with the poor man.
Vocabulary:
In general, more formal words to describe all the terms an aiport has. But I could understand it well, and there was nor really a special and interesting word to learn. Oh yes, I remember one: arrest.
Rate yourself :)
HUMOUR: NECESSARY TO SURVIVE?
dijous, 27 de novembre del 2008
What is humour? Humour is a message with the power to evoke laughter, and in my opinion humour is vitaly in everyday life. Our lifes are full of stress, problems, anxiety and crisis. Without humour all we have is the depressing things in life.
First of all, a person who perhaps in life has bad luck and has few material posessions, for exemple money, cars..., if they have a “good sense of homour” they are often happier than those people who are wealthy. Money does not buy happiness.
Secondly I will quote a famous English saying: “It is better to laugh than to cry” when everything in life seems terrible, what can you do? You can feel miserable and pity yourself but does this achieve anything? No, you have to feel positive, you have to laugh at the situation, not cry, being positive and happier will help to survive these problems. For example, you go on holiday to Hawaii and it rains every day, be positive and laugh at your bad luck. Being positive will help you to think of other things to do than going to the beach, possibility more interesting things!
To sum up, if more people could laugh at life and could look at problems with humour, then, in general living a happier life the world must be a happier place? Obviously there are limits, there are things in life that need to be approached with a serious attitude, for example famine, wars and natural disasters.
It is clear that the alternative to a life with humour is the alternative is a life of misery, pessimism and self pity. In conclusion I ask you, which life would you prefer?
Computer have made the world a better place
Over the last years there have been major developments concerning computers. Now almost everyone uses computers. There are positive and negative resluts of this.
On one hand computers have improved and increased efficiency in a lot of Industries, such as the engineering industry. What is more we need less paper, less space, all information can be stored on computer or discs.
In addition, through computers, communication, local or world wide, is easier.
Another reasun is students can look up informationm, organise and present their projects and even study for diplomas and certificates on the computer.
Finally, our lives are easier people can bank and shop on-line and it is another option to watching TV and fill in time.
On the other hand children fill in time on the computer instead of studying or using their imagination to invent games. Moreover, children and students are losing the skills to research information in encyclopedias, dictionaries and libraries.
Students copy the information from the computer instead of writing their own work.
Alhough industry has been improved by computers a lot of workers lose their work when computers take over the world.
We have access to a lot of inapropriate information, and in addition, our privacy is invaded, banks, employers, etc can look on about us.
Lastly, every year we get lazier, we do not need to move from the computer.
I understand there are reasons for and against computers improving our lives, but as I am a student I am for computers because it makes it easier for me to complete my studies and projects. We have so much work to do we do not have time to go to libraries, look in encyclopedies for research and then to handwrite it all.
A JOKE!! :D

dimarts, 7 d’octubre del 2008
I think that the film is fantastic and all actors act very well. When I finally the film I wanted to dance and sing.
The film is very nice. Jhon Travolta interprets a woman; she is the mother of the protagonist, Tracy.
Tracy, an overweight high-school student who only dream is to be on a local Baltimore teen dance program. While her father tells her to follow her dreams, her mother Edna reminds her that she doesn't look like the girls on that show. After Tracy earns a coveted spot on the program, but when she becomes a popular addition, she earns the rabies of the prettiest girl in school a girl whose mother just happens to operate the local television station. Tracy is visit to detention hall opens her eyes to the racial tension on the show, as does the relationship between her best friend and a boy, Tracy attempts to integrate the races on her favourite program. Perry Seibert.
This is all
I recommend this film!
