NOMOPHOBIA

Nowadays the people are too dependent on the mobile phones, because now we need them a lot.

We are too dependent on mobile phones, because now we are connected all day. First of all, we are in the era of the technology, so we depend on mobile even if we don't want it. Secondly, we are always with the cell, because we need to chat with other people if they are not around us. I think that now we can't live without the mobile. Because we live with that instrument, that is a part of our life.

In conclusion, we can't live without phones and we are too dependent on the mobiles.

Angelina: Oh my god! What are you talking about! I'm very angry, If you want to make a prenuptial agreement I will not marry you. 

James: I love you! But I think that we don't have to leave to chance our properties and we have to separate your things and my things.

(I do this task with Paula)

Angelina: Well if you want it we will doit like this. 

James: It's not something bad, it's just to be saje. I love you so much and I want to be with you all my life. So basically my things are your things and yors are mine. 

Finally James and Angelina made a prenuptial agreement. They got married on the beach of L.A. Nowadays they are 80 and they are dtill in love!

CAN INTERNET CHANGE THE WORLD FOR BETTER?

It seems that in our society Internet is completely inside our lives. And of course Internet could change the world for better world in the future but still we don't know if it will go for the better or not.

On the one hand, Internet helps us with a faster communication and we can chat with all the world. In addition, the net has more information than our head art it help us with our cotidian problems. And just with one click we have almost all the information that we need.

On the other hand, with the Internet, people forget about the books and only use the net. Secondly, in the Internet it's more frequents the frauds than in the shops. Lastly if electricity fails everithing goes off.

In conclusion, we would say that Internet should change the world for the better. However, that in the we can have more problems than in our private lives.

RESEARCH PROJECT

My research project, consists of an introductory part about how I can do the research about the Mathematic women; a part with the analysis of every woman I called theoretical part.

Then there's another part, with all the works of those women and finally the conclusion of my research project, there were the most frequent characters and the positive and negative connotations are collected. 

To do my research project, I have searched the information on the Internet and books.

HUMOR DISCUSSION

Humor is a type of life. In my opinion, humor given us a different vision about the world, because if you don’t have humor in your life I think you can’t be happy without a little bit of humor.

First of all, humor is related to happiness smiles or some emotions like this. Moreover the people in general smile more than 100 times a day, that’s more that maybe the people get angry one or three times a day. So that’s a percentage much better, because they are calm and relaxed.

To sum up, humor is necessary in our lives, because you can enjoy your days or you can be better day by day.

PODCAST

This is our podcast, the girls with I do this podcast are: Paula Labrador, Alexandra Puentedura and Lídia Sanz. We pass very well editing the video and recording the voice, thats so good for improve our english and for pass very well all of us. 

This video talk about one mouse who has broken heart and he only want her girlfriend. He visit a doctor for help him, but he only want her girlfriend, so Rita came with Stuart and now they are in love.

Description of a person

Paula's great friend of mine, she's one of my best friends. She's not tall and thin, she's green-eyed and she's got large wavy hair, unlike me. She's wuite happyiest and she's got a friendly face.

Paula seems quiet when you first meet her, but on the inside she's extroverted. She's the kind of person who I feel comfortable with. Sometimes she can be a little bit bussy, but I  don't pay attantion to that. One thing that I really like about Paula is that she never two-facedand she always tell me what's on her mind.

Once upon a time

In my opinion, this film is normal; I don't like the fantastic’s films, with unreal characters, because I prefer romances as life, like real things, not special effects or whatever.

The little boy was very lovely with his mother, because he found her and finally he returns with her, and the witch found his book.

The mother, Emma, was so pretty with her son, because she accepted him but finally he returns with his mother. She was the child, who was in the start of the film, and his father put him in the tree and she passed to the future. Then the mother (Snow white) had a son, and this son, stayed with the witch, because the witch passed for the tree too.

I like the personality of the characters (the witch no), because they want the best for her family and that's so good.

FAIRY TALE

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who wanted to live in their own homes. Together they went looking at houses.

The first little pig saw a house of straw. He thought that it would be very easy and quick to build. So he did.

The second little pig saw a house of sticks and he thought, “That’s for me!” It, too, was easy to build. In no time at all, the two little pigs had built their homes. They were then free to play, sing and dance together.

The last little pig built a house of bricks. It took a long time to build, but he knew that it was very strong. It would keep him safe.

The first little pig saw a wolf coming towards him, so he ran into his house. The wolf followed him and blew the house down. Luckily, the first little pig made it to the second little pig’s house. The wolf followed him again. This time he blew a bit harder and the stick house blew down too.

The pigs escaped just in time. Now they all hid inside the brick house. But again the wolf followed them. He tried to blow the brick house down but he couldn’t.

The wolf decided to go down the chimney. Luckily the pigs were ready for him. They had a pot of boiling water in the fireplace. When the wolf came down he made a big splash and that was the end of him.

Soon afterwards, the pigs built two more brick houses. They all lived happily ever after.

SELF-EVALUATION

Introduction - Hello we are Paula and Maria and in this oral presentation we will talk about Australia. We chose this country because we liked a lot. We are going to explain his demography, culture, gastronomy, music, surf and animals.

Demography - The capital of Australia is Canberra. Australia has more than two persons for square kilometre. With 89% of its population living in urban areas, Australia is one of the world's most urbanised countries.

Culture - Australian culture is founded on stories of battlers, bushrangers and brave soldiers. It’s all about a fair go. Today Australia also defines itself by its Aboriginal heritage, vibrant mix of cultures, innovative ideas and a thriving arts scene.

Music - The oldes Australian music is the music of Aborigines. For play this tipe of music the use the “digeridu”. Australia has covered numerous styles, including rock and roll, country, hip hop, and reggae. Kylie minogue, is an Australian singer from melburne she aswell is a recording artist, songwriter and actress. Cody simpson is aswell an Australian pop singer from Gold Coast, Queensland and he is only 16 years old.

Gastronomy - Australians eat plenty of meat, lamb and veal. They also eat crocodile, buffalo, kangaroo and camel. The national dish is a meat pie accompanied by a gravy sauce. A great variety of fish and seafood is also part of the Australian diet. The most popular dessert in Australia is called Pavlova made with fruit and meringue. There is a good variety of tropical fruit in Australia, such as mango, papaya, pineapple, and guava. Regarding drinks, Australia has good wines, such as Malbeec and Chardonnay.

Surf - Surf is the most impotant sport in this country, because Australia Its an island and how you know you have to practice surf in the water, well in the sea with the waves. That’s why almost all the population practices that sport.

Dear Director, 

I have studying for 5 years in this school and I am very angry with the facilities of the center.

Three years ago, it was so warm in class that we had to take of clothing to withstand the heat with radiators on. Now, because of the crisis we have to wear five woolen sweaters to bear the cold, unless you want to spend the cold.

I think you should regulate this some what, to a  midpoint, or make it very cold or very hot.

All students and teachers will appreciate it.

Sincerely a student of 1st Bachillerat.

Maria Roig Martínez

CLOTHES AND ME

I'm don't influenced by the celebrities wear, because I have my own style, I do the clothes if I want and I like it, if I don't like this clothes I don't wear it. 

I think I'm not arrested with the fashion things or that, I only wear the things I like if the fashion is horrible obiusly I don't wear it, but if I like on or two of the things in fashion I wear it.

The appeareance is very important today if you go to find a job in one officine, because you have to be presentable, if you don't appereance this thing, the officer don't contract you. But if you presented for a job in mechanical (for example) you don't have to look very presentable, because in that job the mans are usually with overalls and sweaty all the time.

SELF-EVALUATION

• Presentation 10% (0'75): For explain my presentation I used one powerpoint and some images. The presentation is timing about 5-7 minuts.

• Content 30%(2'25): I introduce my information of the audience and I think cause more people don't know me, and i think all the information is very clear. All my information is original, because it's my life. I only look up the diccionary Catalan/English for saw some of the words.

The sound of the video it's not good, but I think for do the self-evaluation it's okay. Hope you ejoy it! :)

THIRTEEN VS. ADRIAN MOLE

THIRTEEN: 

I think this film breaks the ice in terms of teen movies refeire, is realistic, hard and raw. I love how it reflects the phases and vulnerability through which passed that age (say between 13-16), and is very realistic (you have to consider the environment in which they live). It reflects the strength with which the bonds are forged "friendship" at that age, while the harshness with which they break, betrayal, vulnerability, influence, for me this film is just great, if it were not expected a more dramatic end would give it a 10.

The best:

The character development, the curve suffering.

The worst:

The final expected something harder.

ADRIAN MOLE:

It is a very interesting book for readers 10 to 16 years because it deals with a teenager, and lives with his mother, as he falls in love etc. and all this is described in a very amusing. It is a book that entertains a lot, very interesting. It is a relatively short book, and is not divided into chapters recounts his days but more important or that something interesting has happened.
 It is a curious book, in the classical style (it is written in diary form), but written with grace. Adrian's character produces much tenderness, is a wrestler guy, with cultural aspirations, which, like most teenagers, things rarely go well. The book conveys a sense of existential emptiness but also of hope: not all teenagers become aggressive and wild when they have problems. The author's style is very fun.

PROTESTANT SONG

How come, how long

There was a girl i used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save
Somebody's life
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Some ... wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
Oh i wish that she'd seen the light
How can someone like that call himself a man
He's not a man
Soon reality ...
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

Perquè, fins quan

Hi havia una noia que vaig conèixer 
Era oh tan bonic 
, però ella ja no és aquí 
Ella tenia un títol universitari 
intel · ligent com qualsevol podria ser 
Ella tenia molt a viure 
, però ella es va enamorar 
de l'home equivocat una mica 
Va abusar del seu amor i la va tractar tan malament 
No hi havia prou educació en el seu món 
que podria salvar la vida d'aquesta nena 
Per què, per quant de temps 
, no és correcte, és tan dolent 
¿Deixem que s'acaba d'anar a 
donar l'esquena i seguir 
Desperta, per ja és massa tard 
Ara mateix, no podem esperar 
Ella no tindrà un segon intent 
Obrin seus cors 
, així com els seus ulls 
Ella va tractar de donar un crit d'ajuda 
Fins i tot va culpar les coses per si mateixa 
però ningú va anar a ajudar 
gens estava equivocat en el fet que es podria dir 
que és el que ens agradaria dir-nos a nosaltres mateixos 
, però no, no era així 
Així que ella es va enamorar 
amb l'home una mica malament 
i ella va pagar amb la seva vida 
per estimar a aquest home 
tant, no es pot ignorar , 
Cal buscar els senyals 
I potser la propera vegada puguem salvar 
la vida d'algú 
Per què, per quant de temps 
, no és correcte, és tan dolent 
¿Deixem que s'acaba d'anar a 
donar l'esquena i seguir 
Desperta, ja que és massa tard 
Ara , no podem esperar 
Ella no tindrà un segon intent 
Obrin seus cors 
, així com els seus ulls 
que en alguna ocasió es van reunir aquest noi 
ha estat un sentiment profund de 
alguns ... no estava bé 
La manera com demostra ser un home 
per colpejar la seva dona amb les mans 
Oh, m'agradaria que ella havia vist la llum 
Com pot algú com que cridar-se a si mateix un home 
Ell no és un home 
Aviat la realitat ... 
I no podem passar per alt 
Cada vegada que veiem els signes 
perquè qualsevol tipus d'abús 
Déu ho sap, és un crim 
Per què, per quant de temps 
, no és cert, és tan dolent 
Hem de deixar que només ha d'anar a 
donar l'esquena i seguir 
Desperta, perquè sigui massa tard 
Dreta Ara, no podem esperar 
Ella no tindrà un segon intent 
Obrin seus cors,
així com els seus ulls

FAIRY TALE

CINDERELLA

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters. They treated Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for a grand ball in the king’s palace. But Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her go. Cinderella was made. They went to the ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home.

Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared and said, “Don’t cry, Cinderella! I will send you to the ball!” She said, “I don’t have a dress to wear for the ball!” The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed Cinderella’s old clothes into a beautiful new gown! And she as well had beautiful glass slippers! “How will I go to the grand ball?” asked Cinderella. The fairy godmother found six mice playing near a pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched them with her magic wand and the mice became four black horses and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach. Before leaving. the fairy godmother said, “Cinderella, this magic will only last until midnight! You must come home by then!”

When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was looking at here. Nobody, not even Cinderella’s stepmother or stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and shoes. The handsome prince also saw her and fell in love with Cinderella. He went to her and asked, “Do you want to dance?” And Cinderella said, “Yes!” The prince danced with her all night. Cinderella was so happy dancing with the prince that she almost forgot what the fairy godmother had said. At the last moment, Cinderella remembered her fairy godmother’s words. “Oh! I must go!” she cried and ran out of the palace. One of her glass slippers came off but Cinderella did not turn back for it. She reached home just as the clock struck twelve. Her coach turned back into a pumpkin, the horses into mice and her fine ball gown into rags.

The prince had fallen in love with Cinderella and wanted to find out who the beautiful girl was, but he did not even know her name. He found the glass slipper that had come off Cinderella’s foot as she ran home. The prince said, “I will find her. The lady whose foot fits this slipper will be the one I marry!” The next day, the prince and his servants took the glass slipper and went to all the houses in the kingdom. All the women in the kingdom tried the slipper but it would not fit any of them. Cinderella’s stepmother would not let her try the slipper on, but the prince saw her and said, “Let her also try on the slipper!” The slipper fit her perfectly. The prince recognized her from the ball. He married Cinderella and together they lived happily ever after.
