PODCAST

Today I’m with Rihanna who is a very popular star of the world.
Hello Rihanna, thank you for spending your time with me. It’s a very big honor to speak with you

Hi, for me it’s a great honor to be here, it isn’t a problem, because I love speaking (lol)

Well, this year you have had a lot of success, are you surprised?

Yes, because this is like a dream, I never thought that this could happen to me.

But, when you started to sing, at 15 years old, were you aware that you could be so successful?

Well, when I was 15 I thought that singing was only a hobby and I never imagined this!

The song Unfaithful speaks about being unfaithful to a boy, is it something that you feel guilty about ?

Yes, you know when you are a teenager and you have the first boyfriend, and after you don’t want one. But I felt guitly and so I sang this song.

Someone broken your heart?

No, at the moment no. I hope that never happens to me.

Do you go out with a celebrity or do you prefer a normal boy?

It’s about the person not their social class. I only want a boy that loves me and I love him.

Thanks for your attention and I had a great time with you.

Thanks you’re welcome!

I don’t identify with anyone because I find that all characters are very idealized

2nd oral presentation

MERCÈ AND ME

Hello class, Hello teachers.
Good morning everybody
Well, the country that we chose is Jamaica because we think that it’s a country that can interest to all the class. Ok, let’s start.
Jamaica it’s the third biggest island of Antilles. The Capital is Kingston that it’s the biggest commercial city. The official language is English but the Jamaicans spoke a local dialect which is a mixture of words in Spanish, African and French
The islanders are nice and friendly people and they love smiling. His economy is based on the fishing, the growing of pigs and the cultivation of their lands. They still follow the tradition of build their house with wood and paint the wall with shine colors. The music is in their blood, and they love dancing. The minimum musical sound in the distance takes them to it.
I’m sure that everybody sometimes have been listening about the Rastafarianism, but I think that anybody know a lot about it. The Rastafarianism isn’t a religion, it’s is a culture, that was born in Jamaica, and it around all the Caribe and in the black communities of Gran Britain and USA. His culture is based on the bible. For them, the (rasta) is a very important symbol and they respect it a lot,
The flag of the Rastafaris is red, that means the blood spread of our brothers, the yellow the gold, the green it means the grow, and the black the colour of the skin of their brothers
Well now we speak about the music of Jamaica. Jamaica has different kinds of music like, ska, rocksteady, dub, dancehall, ragga y ragga jungle, and finally the most typical and that everybody knows is the REGGAE
The most popular music is the reggae wich Bob Marley created, who did a culture, with his music. The first kind is ska where he was the father. Also, he create a band called: “The Skatalites”. Other oldest music on the island is Mento, the Ghost and Calypso.
The reggae is a derivation of ragga, that is an abbreviation of raggamuffin, in English his significate is harapiento. We use this label to descript the poor in Jamaica, and also the Rastas and cultural movements of the poor districts.
The name “reggay” his means is “regular”.
The Reggae’s father is Bob Marley that you know. Bob Marley was a musician and member of Rastafari Moviment.
Their songs talk about peace and love, and whit their rhythm people fly and discover other fascinating worlds.
One of the best-known anecdotes about the Jamaica sport is the victory of his selection in the world championship bobsleigh, a winter sport.
Jake the other day said that Jamaica hasn’t got a good team of Football, but we say now, that in 1998 Jamaica went to World Cup of football, this it’s a great job, but they only got 3 points, and they can’t passed to the other round.
If you go to Jamaica don’t forget to eat the most famous lunch: “the rondón” and the “bushy” that is a very delicious drink but also is very strong, so, control because you can get drunk.

Mr. Woodcock

The film are two gyms that there is a lot of competition between them. In one gym change completely appearance of a person and another, on the other hand, give more importance to the people and them feelings.
In the end, with the movie you realize your message, we give great importance on the body than the feelings of people.
Really, I like the message and I think that I will like to see it all!

OBSERVATION of last oral presentation

NAME & TOPIC: A trip to London

PRESENTATION
We use a power point with pictures of London, the most beautiful places. We present our plan of the trip.
I think that people liked our power point because the pictures were very beautiful.

BODY LANGUAGE AND EYE CONTACT
We looked our friends continually, we were connecting with them a lot and we didn’t brought notes.

STRUCTURE
We organizated correctly and we introduced a lot of connectors. This is an aspect that we have improved.

LANGUAGE
I admit that my english is bad because I left lose, and now I repent a lot. For this I studiing for improve.

PRONUNCIATION & INTONATION
My intonation and my pronuntation I think that it was correctly.

SELF-EVALUATION
I think that our correct mark is 7 because we have putted a lot of effort.

DESCRIPTION!!

Pep’s my best friend because he is the only one that went at the same class since we wento to school. He lives in Vilanova de la Muga and he’s 16.

Physically, my friend is tall and thin, he’s about 1’75 and 65kg, but hes very strong.
He has brown hair and beautiful brown eyes because he has long eyeslashes. Also, he has small ears and thin lips. In general he has a log face. His neck is also rather long and thin but muscular. His arms and his legs are really strong and long and his foot is big, he’s about a size 43.
As you can see he’s a particularly strong boy.

Psychically, Pep is very kind because if you have a problem he will help you. He is also a little nervous boy, when he is nerveous he becomes read-faced and his legs tremble.
He is quite quiet but when he plays football or he do sport he becomes actives.
His favourite hobby is drowing his maps because he wants to become an architect and he also plays football because he spends a lot of time training.

Finally, I think that Pep is and will be my best friend. In general he’s a very strong-willed boy because he gets all he wants.

FRANKESTEIN

After reading the book and after watching the film, we realize that there are a lot of differences.
For exemple, Elisabeth in the book she has got blue exyes and blond hair but in the film, she has got brown eyes and dark hair.
Also, in the film Victor has got a young brother and in the book he has got twins.
An important difference is that in the book Victor’s father dies of sadness after Elisabeth’s death and in the film Frankiestein kills Victor’s father before Elisabeth’s death.
Also, in the film Victor creates Elisabeth when she dies, and in the book this doesn’t happen.
Finally, I think that the biggest difference is that Frankestein in the book has got yellow eyes and yellow skin and also he’s 2’50m, and in the film he is a normal person but very very ugly!!!

Dear Madam,

We are two students of 1r of Batxillerat, and we are writing about our opinion of the High school.
On the one hand, we agree that you are putting pictures, posters, so the High school is funnier, last year it seemed a jail. Also, we think that the W.C oppened all the day is good for us, but some days are closed.
When we arrived we hadn’t got library, but now it has, are although we don’t use it but we think that the library it’s a good thing for pupils.
In the classroom we have screeners, projector and computer this is a great idea, because there we can do somethings with computer that we never imagine.
And now, English class has improved a lot, the computers are so good and the wall are more funny.
On the other hand, in the High school you didn’t tell us many thing about the UNI, and neighter for students of 4t ESO they haven’t got a lot of information of Batxillerat.
We think that it must be an other exit, because for exemple for us it’s so far.
Also, we always are cold in the classroom and especially on the laboratory.
We think that we shouldn’t do gym classes at 8 A.M because it’s horrible.
Finally we must to go to holidays, because it’s a fantastic present for us, for the work that we have to do every day.

In conlcusion we believe that the high school improve a lot since we arrived, and we think that if you continue improving that this form, this high school will be better.


Yours faithfully,


MERCÈ and LAIA
