Final reflection. My English competence

Writing : I think that my best composition is the one that came before this, that one. The main reason is that this is the last one and should be the best, not in every cases. I use connectors like "however, in addition, moreover". It's said that I don't write with all my habilities or possibilities, it's completly true. I don't like writting and for this reason I don't use "advanced" vocabulary. Just words, because I use many phrasal verbs. Sometimes I make mistakes because I don't pay attention on what I write, I got the idea in my mind in catalan, I try to translate as I'm writting, and it wouldn't be by this way. 


Speaking: I'm not the best speaking english in public, it's because I'm so shy, even it doesn't seems. I'm very shy and unconfident. But I think that the best OP I've done is my Research paper, that one, not only because I had done in catalan before, because I felt very happy that day and I laughted for every thing that happened. I remember I didn't know what I had to say, so I suffered so much. Summing up, I MUST improve my vocabulary, my pronunciation and my fluency. And I'm sure that I'll get it because I never give up if I don't see that I can die trying that. (metaphorically speaking).


And................. that's all! BYE BYE blog! I will won't miss you! Thanks to all teachers that have had to correct that boring nest full of nonsense posts and photos. Now, I'm free!



Final reflection. My English progress from 2010 - 2012

I can't believe it! Seven months ago I was scared about the idea to arrive at the end of the course. But... here I am. Now, let's look to our backs which work we have done.
The first post I did treated about Mourinho, "Sports news". I don't know what I was thinking in that moment. The main difference is that I had the idea inside my head but I didn't know how to get off from there. For exemple, I wrote very short sentences: "In the opposite site, there is Guardiola." "Jose Mourinho is probably the most media celebrity coach in the Liga.". Nowadays, I can do sentences longer than before using connectors.
The second difference is how I linked differents structures inside sentences. I didn't use any connectors, as I went to the lowest group. I think that go to the higher group has helped me. When I started, the main connector were "and" and "but". Now, I know more than 10, even that not ever I use it.
And the third difference is the vocabulary I use. My weak point is my knowledge of adjectives, I don't know a lot ,however I want to learn to enrich my written expresion. And in addition to it, I shouldn't repeat some connectors and words.
The sentence structure has changed. By the time you grow up, you learn more vocabulary and you are able to write longer sentences as I've said. So.... Have I improved? I think that a little bit. It's normal because if it wasn't I would have a problem. I'm glad with my progress, all the same I think I've polished some mistakes.
As every thing, the only bad point is that I tend to make shorter posts( I can't believe I've written this), I don't know if it's because I haven't ideas to write about or because my life is boring.
So.... 1 from 2.

My thoughts

There are some moments in my life that I don't have anything to do, or I can't sleep, so I start to think. The first thing that came to my mind is how we have arrived where we are, technologicaly, morally, socially, in which things we build our society. This isn't the only topic I think about, moreover that how I am and why I am how I am. These things make me feel sad, well sad isn't the exactly word. It's like you start to consider all things you have done, which of these are corrects, which are incorrectes, if you could have act better than you did.
But the most important thing I'm trying to find is something I call "perfection". It's difficult to explain, it's like the perfection of all things. Whatever that turns impossible things to possible. Probably it's like very geek but I think that this "whatever" can exist and the only way to get is by the power of the mind. In some articles I've read, we just use our 40% brain power, and my question is: how would we see the world if we uses 90%?

Wierd dream

On 23th December I was waiting to get into a car. It happened in Figueres.
I had been training all afternoon and I felt very tired. As the wait was going to be long, I took my book called "Hurin sons"off from my bag and I started to read. Afterwards, what happened in this moment I still can't understand.
A character from the book appeared in front of me and told me:
-Nice book that you're reading.
She was wearing a white tunic and a bow! She probably is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, not just in a dream, in addition in the real life.
I closed my eyes for a while, and at the same moment I opened them again, she told me in a sad voice:
-I hope  we meet again in a future.
I closed my eyes again and shaked my head, and the woman was still there. She started to walk away slowly, and when I looked at my book, she had dissappeared. Afterwards, I heard a sad scream from the centre of the  earth.

"La república"

La republica is my life. I couldn't believe that some day I would say it. La republica is a group of friends with differents ideas and behaviours but with one common point: we love talk about politics. Far from the first idea, piece by piece La republica has become important for me. We are: Guillem Mancilla "the comunist". Costa " capitalist" Sebas " the anarchist" Simon "the nazi" Aleix "Krauso(nobody knows exactly what Krauso is)" Guillermo "The monarchist" and Pablo "the masclist". We discuss different things like how could we do the world a better place, what would we change, if we pass or we fail some laws. In fact, things that I was interested in explain to someone, but I couldn't find people to discuss about. Also, we have lunch in differents places, things that I really enjoy when we do. But the most important things is that whatever we do, we do together, without problems, arguments.
And overall, great persons.

My likely life

My first week isn't boring. I've met new friends, and I've seen old friends I hadn't seen for months. As a consequence, I've started a new life.
I'm studying Computering in Girona, and I didn't want to go and come back every day, I had to persuade my parents to live there. I'm living with friends from high school in a flat. It's quite big and very comfortable. I couldn't afford a flat alone so the best idea is to share. I'm living with Guillem and Clara. Guillem is studying History, and as every guy in the world, we play computer games a lot.
Clara is thin and beautiful, and she's studying nursery. She enjoys drawing a lot and riding her horse. We are single but she isn't.
As I want to be the best, I'm studying a lot to get the best marks I can, and I'm closed in my bedroom almost the day, so I can't help so much with cooking and cleaning. Sorry guys ;) haha
I'm feeling great to stay at univeristy because I like changes and this is one oh them.
But, as I'm very sensible, I miss some things from Castello, for exemple my family, some friends. I will get over it.

How ever, it sounds very well, but I think I won't do all this things...

Conversation

-Hi Stuart! How are you?
-Hi John, I'm fine and you?
-Fine too. How is the job going?
-Well, not really good. I don't have the same work as last year and it meants I won't earn the same amount of money.
-Oh... it doesn't sound very good...
-Yes, but that's the reality. Nowadays, a shepherd is viewed as an old job which no one wants to became.
-I don't agree with you. I think it's because it doesn't generate enough money to live as well as someone would want and apart from thet, it's a little bit boring.
-Yes, sometimes it's boring but on the other hand it's not stressful and you can take breaks when you feel tired. -I love this job and I think more people should join in.
-Probably, when technology impreoves, it will give people more chances to earn more money.
If it happen, I'll be the first one to aplly for a job with you
-I'll be waiting for you if it happens.
-Sure, well, I must come back to my office. See you later Stuart! Bye.

Sorry

The Spanish King has apologized to spaniards after he has been discovered hunting elephants in Botswana.
The king had to come back early than he expected due to his broken hip that he suffered after falling. The Royal family has neither confirmed nor denied that information about his injury. 
The spanish people were upset because while the king was hunting elephants, in Spain there is an important crisis where one of two younger people can't find a job, and about 4 milion people are in unemployed

I think that this kind of things, Royal family should try to hide them, because besides that we are in a critical situation, probably this trip has been paid by us, spaniards. So, while people are trying to pay for every thing, some others are hunting elephants. As I use to say to one friends: Spain is like a joke.

Fabregas

Fabregas has said that Chelsea has turned into a long-ball team since the sacking of Villas-Boas. As a gunner, he has played against Chelsea 16 times and in only 3, he was victorious. A bad experience that tonight it seems it won't be in the same way than with Arsenal. Nowaday, Fabregas plays in FCB, considered the best team of the world and which play the most beautiful football around the world.
He knows that it won't be an easy match, because it's at Chelsea's home, the stadium where 4 years ago, God went down to the earth with Iniesta's goal. Even that, tonight Fabregas has more chances to win because he plays with Barcelona not with Arsenal.
About Villas-Boas, he explained their thoughts abouts what happened. He thinks that Villas-Boas wanted to turn the countdown Chelsea's game into a possession game, playing the ball from back and making more passes .

Bayern-Madrid

In the 89th minute, Mario Gomez socred the winning goal by a cutting from the right, made by Lahm.
In the beginiing, a corner taken by Robben, Ribery took the ball inside the penalty area and scored the first goal of the match.
At 60, Ozil scored for Madrid by a pass given by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ozil gave back the draw in the match. 
After 20 minutes, the last goal from the macth would be scored by Mari Gomez. Madrid lost that match for
 2-1. 
At the end of the match, 3 Madrid players viewed yellow car. Ozil, Marcelo and Khedira made some nasty tackles and the ref showed them the yellow car.
As it usual, Mourinhi said that they sholud have won the match due to Madrid played better than Bayern.

Summer Job

1 month and I'll be free. My life is stressful now. Exams every day, too much work, homework. reading books, etc...
Teachers want to finish the lessons to let us prepare for Selectivity. I do not see how the whole class will be ready to start a new lifestyle. And after selectivity... Majorca. The end-bachelor trip. Finally, the summer will came to me with... my first summer job. I'll be working all summer in a hotel moving shairs, pickings towels, helping people to find their rooms. I'm quite nervous because I don't know what I'll have to do, where to be in every moment, in fact if I'll do my job well. I've chosen this kind of job because I like working in tourism, in a bar, a hotel, whatever related with tourists. And maybe, when I'll be 60, I would be able to own a hotel.

A funny experience

I remember when I was in 2n Esp and we met some old friends again. When we finished 6th, we went to a differen classes. But in sexond, we were together. I enjoyed it a lot. There was a girl whose name I can't remember exactly but seh had a nickname: We called her "Sapo".
In every class she threw paper balls and other things at the classemates, so as a good classmates, me and wo friends threw about fifity paper balls for revenge.
After that, the class seems that there was a civil war inside beetwin her and us. One day we threw more than 200 chalk pieces at her and she threw more than 300 back.
The maximum came when we stamped on her agenda. It was awesome, no-one had ever shouted us as she did.
