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.

Can Internet make the world a better place?

A few years ago, a new technology was born: Internet. Nowadays, it has made our life better than before. Thanks to Internet, we can meet people we don't see, look for places, and more activities. But... has internet more advantatges than disadvantages? Let's see.

In internet we can find informatiion we are looking for or we need, find people we met before, chat with friends and family, and share our experiences and opinions in pur website, apart of sharing music or movies. In addition, one of the most advantatges internet got is that people will see everything upload. You can keep noticied about what is happening in Australia while someone is in USA. It's useful if you want to transmite your message.


However, it has bad points. Security is one of them. As it's available for everyone, you have to protect your ID and personal information from users that could use it to hurt someone, or whatever related with bad things.


In conclusion, it's very useful and dangerous at the same time, so you should protect your persona information and use it safely.

This is my second OP this course. I think I've improved a little bit but not at all I expected. There's moments that I say "aaaah" so I try to improve and correct these mistakes. In addition of mistakes, another mistake I did was to not stop moving all time and that's another thing I have to correct.

From PP, It should had been improved a little because was too basic without photos, without movies, too easy and non attractive so far.

But, in fact, I'm proud of myself becuase I can start to speak with more fluency than before, so it's a positive point and a motive to keep going improving!

My team

Time is passing and every moment I’m a little bit near of the end of the season. I ‘m glad of myself because all I ever wanted I’ve could achieved this season: make a champion team, a team with no fears, a team where someone can find in it my ideas, my way to be. A team who want the ball, take the ball from the other team, a team which doesn’t feel the meaning of pressure, a team which wants to show to the public how they play an attractive basket. Actually I’ve fallen in love with my small team, even sometimes I got troubles, they’re one of my most loved treasure nowadays. Without them, I wouldn’t be me, I would miss some part of me because what they have given to me is huge, something that I couldn’t say with words, a reason to live, to believe in every act I do or every word I say.
I know that it won’t be eternal, but I will just keep with me good memories with them.

News

This summer, Arsenal has sold some of the key players like Samir or Fàbregas.

This fact has made Arsenal account increse in 49.5$ milion, during the last six month. It's good for Arsenal, if you compare with the last six month when Arsenal lost 6.1$ milion.

With this amount, supporters have claimed to join new good players to get some chance to win a competiton or a trophy.

Arsenal is not winning any award from 7 years ago, and could be a improvement if Arsenal join. However, they have warned that not all the money will be invested joining players becaus they have to got a little quantify is thinfs doesn't go as they want.

In addition, Stan Kronite has incresed his stake of the club, and Usmanov has done the same with his stakes.

Europe's cold snap

Many homeless people have died in cities around central and Eastern Europe. In some countries, as there was heavy snow and some people got trapped, the army had to help them out.

Most of them have died because they've been exposed to temperature not higher than -30ºC for days. Governments have put up tents to help them. In many cities you can find outside braziers placed in places where people use to wait for trains, buses, taxis, etc...

This cold snap won't disappear at least for the next weeks. Another problem is that countries are using gas for warm them up and it causes an increse of the gas consume during this period

Games

Games play an important role in my life. Playing when I'm boring or when I want to get fun, I play games. For me, games just aren't playing football or killing people. Behind every moviment I do with joystick there's a feeling, a thought, an idea. Obviously I get angry when players score me a goal and every time I'm looking for some way to stop him. I'm proud of myself in this way because I can think as fast as I think thanks to videogames and trying to preview what my opponent will do. When I do something, for exemple, move a player to another position, my mind has already done this action and is thinking in whatever will happens when I'll have done it. So by this way, I'm not a bad player. I'd better if I use this time not to playing, for studying, but I don't think that's the principal reason why sometimes I fail.
This fast-think way has given me a qualities playing basketball. One of my best skills is reading the game and where I might move to give spaces to my team mates.

Games have taught me good things and bad things. I remembered 2 years ago, I cryed when I got the end of the game, when the principal character die. I didn't think this game could be as well as at final would be. Or for exemple, I usually play shooters in history mode, sometimes I get goosebumps when I see an emotional scene like an heroic act, or when people are trying to save his friend's live.
But as whatever that exists, bad things that games have taught me have been I get angry often so I must control myself if I don't want to go to the jail due to I've killed someone, or when people kill me without understand why I've die.

Carnival

Febrary has come and with him Carnival has arrived. Music, party, customes, young people dancing, etc... This year we divided into 2 groups. The first one, me included, disguise of Wally, fun custome I think, and the second one disguise of Dragon Ball. As a tradition, we went to Roses Carnival and the next weekend we went to Castello Carnival.

First weekend I prefer not to say anything about, because I don't remember anything till 1pm. Well, just blurry images. And one thing I'll remember forever is the hangover I got, it was incredible, I never felt this way before, so I've decided to turn my life around and start a healthy life.

Castello was a different history. I went on Friday to Empuriabrava until 1 am because I had a game with my team. On Saturday we had dinner at home with friends and then went out in Castello. The night could be better but I don't complain.

Carnival is fantastic if you want to have a good time with friends, meet people, make friends, share experiences, songs, and all these feelings that only appear in big situations as can be Carnival or St Joan.

My impression

My impression this year is not so far than I expected, a hard course. The end is close so... should I give up as I have never done? Or just keep working hard and get better marks than now I'm getting. I think I'll choose the second option basicly because all time I've spent, all time I've been suffering and every good mark has made me a smile.

Even people say that the chance between ESO mentality and Batxillerat mentality it's a huge jump, I think that where there is that jump is between 1r and 2n, because you got more homework, more exams, more tasks to be done, and as supposed, less time because selectivity is turning the corner.

But... as every problem in this world, there is a solution: working hard. These two words means more than just two words. Working hard means that you have to optimize the time you got doing school tasks, it means no facebook while you're doing homework, leave activities you did before if these activities spend you more time that you got, etc...

In fact, 2n is a hard course, probably the most befor university, but it is not impossible, and even bad thoughs came to your mind, remember to don't give up never

Gregorio Luri

Gregorio Luri is one of the most important philosophers in our contry, Spain. We went to a philosophy meeting in Figueres, where he did a speech to us. He congratuled us for our composition about the myth of progress.
He said that people had changed their mind and their way to understand the things that happens. After this, he add that the world is going in a wrong way and we'll kill our planet. However, there are some optimistic people who thinks that as everybody, our minds can change to a better way but we have to work together. Apart from this, he also added that we are tending to think on our own, not in the rest. We just want whatever can feel us happy or feel us we're important because we got it.
