Kinda worried about summer

The summer is near and everybody is impatient for the holidays. I don't know if there'll be like the others: I'm thinking about start working besides I have to do a lot of things... You know, I'm kinda worried about it. I don't know what exactly I'm going to do with the "treball de recerca", and it's important to have already clear how to do it.What about friends? Most of them will work, a lot will go on trips and few will stay here for the summer.

In reality, I'm not like thinking... I have some work for tomorrow, and it's very important, besides I'm a bit stressed lately.

Reading time ! : The call of the wild

Buck, a four-year-old dog, lives peacefully in Saint Claire's valley. Manuel, Buck's master's gardener, wants to sell Buck to a man who needs dogs for sleighs to pick gold on North-west Canada. The dog, who doesn't know what's going on, is abandoned in a train. Before he can escape, the train begins to move, sending Buck to an unknown place...

Opinion

Well, it isn't a bad book. Reading how Buck is treated made me sad, but I like the story in general.Good ambientation and adjectives to describe the situations. Recommended for those people who really love animals.

Cinema time ! : Kung-Fu Panda

Po is a panda who wishes to be a kung-fu master. He admires Master Shifu, Master Oogway and the Furious Five, the kung-fu masters who are living in the Jade Palace, in a mountain near the town where he lives. He spend his life being a waiter in his fathar's restaurant, but one day, master Oogway organizes an exhibition in which the Furious Five have to compite to be chosen as the "Dragon Warrior". Accidentally, Po becomes the "Dragon Warrior", wining an oportunity to fullfill his dream... But, there isn't only good things... Tai-Lung, an evil guy who is in prison, wants to have his revenge...

Opinion

I think is a really funny movie! The summary I put above seems to describe a serious movie, but it isn't. Good dubbing and character expresiveness, although is an animation film. Recommended for those people who go after their dreams (all ages).

Final reflection - 1ST BTX

I think I've improved a lot. I had done a lot of practice (mostly with your-says and the grammar book), and learnt a large amunt of vocabulary, that I used a lot of times in my posts (like "environment" (I didn't know that word, I used to say "atmosphere", or terrifying things like "ambiental"), for example). Also I already know more about some interesting verbal forms, like the conditionals (Example: If I don't work, I won't have the 10) and the future (Example: I'll work a lot).

For me, the best post I ever done is... none. All the posts have their caracteristics, and I like them all the same way. I used different grammar and vocabulary on my posts, but I think that the bests about this are the posts that talk about my opinion.

The most interesting activities for learning English were the oral presentations (because you get used to read in English, and you may translate some words, learning their meaning), the "your-says" (because you were talking about something that interests you, and all the words you translated are learnt easily) and the activities on the grammar book (because there are all kinds of exercises on this book, and it's possible to correct them by yourself). I don't think that any activity was unuseful, because in all the activities you had to search for translations, and it helps a lot to learn some vocabulary, or read things in English, and it improves your grammar by getting use to see verbs correctly used, or adjectives,...

I would like to do the same activities; I liked them. It's true that I don't like very much to do oral presentations, but is fine. The idea of doing your-says is great, and good for improve your mark (with effort, and I think it's right to permit it). In this subject, I felt freedoom to do whatever I want to improve my mark, and it's a thing that I value really positively. In other words, I love the English subject, and I hope that it won't change.

Informal dialogue

Maybe I won't put the dialogue video for personal reasons, but it will be here:

We've almost learnt to respect our world

Nowadays, there are a lot of improvements in order to protect the environment. But, is it really true that we have almost learnt to respect our world? There's still a lot of bad things affect our world.
In a way, I agree with the idea that we've made an improvement in our attitude towards teh earth. There are a lot of clean energy plants, a considerable number of foundations and charities,... But it's also true that we became more irresponsible: cars are overused, the seas are polluted,...

 If we respect our world, a lot of things will mostly disappear, and the government isn't showing any interest in that. Respect the world creates less money than destroying it, so it's not a good idea to preserve it. Seems crazy, eh? People literally killing a lot of life forms only for money. Unfortunately, the world is full of such bad people.
I think that this masacre won't stop until the earth becomes uninhabitable. Instead of losing one million euros, for example, they eill lose 30 million to make another planet comfortable for human life (maybe they would find one already prepared, but surely they will let non-important people die here). Silly, very silly. If it's like this, I think that the people who are getting richer due to this "way-of-doing" things are very stupid, or maybe "normal people" will pay for the rich's errors

Oral presentation : Bullying

Self-Evaluation

Quite good. Nervous as usually, but good, better than the presentation of the second term, I think. I have practiced, but not the necessary. I had forgotten some parts, mixed some parts with others, there were some moments that I’ve becomed understandable... The intonation and pronunciation was quite good, though.

I really liked this topic, I wanted to do this presentation for a long time ago. I was quite embarrassed, but that’s all. A moment I really feel “warm” in the class was when someone had asked me if I know someone who was bullied... I felt the time freezed. I love when people show their emotions, or make a try to show a little. It makes me feel very embarrassed and comfortable.

My internet connection hates me, and didn't let me put the video... I'm beggining to get annoyed by this.
