Oral presentation

This oral presentation has been the first in second of batxillerat. As it's a custom for me, I was so nervous when I started to speak, but then, I improved my own security and I started to speak more clearly and more fluency. Even though I prepare an oral presentation, nerves will be there always, I can't keep them off.
I think I should try to move less, and stop saying wierd things, as sometimes I say. In general, although I don't know the mark I got, I should try to improve my fluency and my vocabulary. I did some important mistakes that I shouldn't do to improve my english. Next time I'll do better than now.

20N

20N is the name people gave to spanish elections on November. Normally when one conutry has elections, people chose the president that they want and normally it is not clearly. But in Spain, probably elections wouldn't be needed.
Spaniards have chosen Rajoy with almost all votes. The PP won about 44% of the vots and socialists 29%. It's one of the most difference since Franco's time. Its PP vots should be abouts 186 seats on the lower house.

It affects us because we're Spaniards and it's our country, all action govern does, it affects to us. Also I think it will be a drak periode for Catalonia so I think catalans must be together to face up it.

I am a champion

I am a champion is the name of one of the videos I see before a match. In this video appears a coach, called Flower who's trying to motivate his players before a match. It's in english but there are lots of traductions to anothers languages. And as somebody say, if you see this video, you can jump to the square without open the door, you jump to play very concentrated, trying to do all things as well you can. This speech talks about how you have to jump to the square, the way you have to be, and what do you need to act correct and think clearly. It's important to get ready physically and mentally if you want to be a good player. Now the video, it's beautiful to hear him speaking to his players:


Nick Vujicic


Probably you won't ever heard this name because you think: oh it's just a man, like me or like some others. But he's different. He's 23 but he was born without limbs. Only there was a little "chiken wing" as he say in his left leg. When he was young, everybody thought that he had a mental disability but it isn't true, and other boys laughted at him. Sometimes he thought about to commit a suicide, even his parents thought that he wouldn't be nobody in this life. Nobody said it was easy and without limbs more. He's very clever, but just with his wing. He can swim, he can talk to someone, he can drive a car, he does a normal life like us.
Nick is very strong. He always say that you must not give up even thought things doesn't go well, you must carry on fighting for reach your dreams, as he did.
In fact, you don't have to feel bad to change your life if things go wrong, just think nothing go wrong *:)

Also there is the only couple in the serie: Marshall Erikssen and Lilly Aldrin. They met them in the university and started a relationship since then. They are the characters who give stability in this serie and the perfect love.
And the character that's it's different than the rest is Robin. She's a journalist from Canada but she decide to work in NYC. Ted fell in love with her and after that he introduce her in his friend group.


In my opinion, this is one of the best tv serie and it shows how important is a friend group to enjoy

Don't worry, be happy.

Sometimes we get stressed and we can't think clearly. It means that there is something wrong inside our brain as neurotransmissors aren't working well at this moment and you need to take a break. Specialists now are trying to find out how the brain workd and what causes some of the most populars neurodegeneratives diseaes. Actually we know what every part of our brain does but we don't know the reason why it happens.

Some specialists are making an effort to look for this solution because they think that it would help them to understand how we are abd why we are.It could also help by looking for the regeneration of neurons, and neurotransmitors.

It can give society a ray of hope because if you have a relative who has a degenerative disease, it can help him and also to make people more intelligent, to understand feelings and emotions, but above all, to help people

Galileo

Europe has launched to the space a rocket that carries the most famous European GPS system: Galileo. A total of 16 satellites that have to complete this system that it has to be the most complex system and useful for us. The system allows you to know where someone is with in a milimetric precision around the world.

But the only bad thing that it has is that you can know were your mobile contacts are if you have an iPhone with "Find my Friends" and it can give problems to some couples.

In general, it shows how technology has improved a lot, and that's a positive point for European technology.

San Francisco

Before to leave LA, we rent a Suburban. I have to say that this car is one of the most comfortable I've ever been. We spent 7 hours traveling trought west Coast. We did a break in Santa Barbara, a great and beautiful place with an endless coastline full of beaches. Then, we arrived to SF, about 8 pm. The city was full of fog and all cars had the lights on. We found our hotel and as we were hungry, we found some place to have dinner. As it's usual in USA, fast food was the best solution to calm our hungry.

At 8am, we were going to pier 33 to take a ferry to Alcatraz. My impression about Alcatraz was magic. When you're there, you start to think how feelings people felt when they were there and how the life was inside the prision.

Afterwards, we went to have lunch, fish and ships in a chinese trade. Then we went to visit little italy and chinatown. When the night fell over SF, all homeless went out from some shelters and the city was afraid. But the positive thing of it, was that we could ride a cablecar, and see all famous places.
In general, one of the most beatuiful cities in USA, and a great place to enjoy.
