FINAL REFLECTION

This is my last post in this english blog and I talk about my development. Batxillerat has been difficult and I consider that I have worked very hard. This blog is a good example of my effort. Even though if I had had more time would be better.

My english progress from 2008-2010:
My first e-mail: http://monicasporfolio.blogspot.com/2008/10/e-mail.html
My last composition: http://thenewform.blogspot.com/2010/05/hello-everybody-you-are-listening-to.htmltml

In those writings I can see my development during first and second Batxillerat. For example, the structure in my first e-mail is more simple and shorter than my last writting. Furthermore, the content is so different. In the first case the content is poor and in the second case is a little bit interesting although I did it in class and I didn't have any help.
About language there isn't nothing to say because these compositions are corrected by teachers and there aren't grammar mistakes. Moreover I think that my vocabulary increase in those years.

http://monicasporfolio.blogspot.com/2009/06/oral-presentation.html my first oral presentation, http://thenewform.blogspot.com/2010/03/oral-presentation.html my last presentation.

I think that my progress is more visible in the oral presentations. Firstly, the presentation of my firts oral presentation is not good because there are too much text in the power point. Instead the last presentation use only the necessary text.

Secondly, the content is interesant in both presentations, but in the second case I liked more the topic because it was my research project.

Finally, I think that my language has progress, especially in the pronunciation. Besides, we note that the text is more elaborate in the last one.

My English competence in 2010:

My favourite oral presentation is the first: http://thenewform.blogspot.com/2009/11/oral-presentation.html. I did this presentation with ariadna and I liked so much because the topic was really interesting and I could leant a lot with Ariadna. Also I think that all is so good, for example the power point or my pronuntiation.

And my best writting I think that is the human rights, I don't know, in my point of view, this compostion reflects my maturity.

But in general I'm so happy for all my post because are originals, and I put every effort that I could.

Bye!!

DIALOGUE

M-Hello everybody! You are listening to Monica’s program and today we talk with the last farmer from Catalonia.


M-Hi Joan! You’re in the program to talk about your job, a profession that is dying out. What do you think about that?

J-Hi Mònica, I think that to be a farmer is so easy but the reputation of this profession was fallen since 1960 when the Industrial Revolution began in Catalonia.

M-Oh, that’s a shame! Have you lived this change?

J- Yes, I was 13 years old and my father was a farmer.

M-Interesting… You can explain what was your way of life like before this change?

J-Yes, of course, life in these times was simpler. I remember that every day my father woke up when the birds sang, then he ate and all the day he worked with livestock. My father didn’t use machines because he thought that he didn’t need them.

M-Oh my god!! Without machines! And do you use the machines?

J-Of course, I love the machines because they make the work easier.

M-You weren't you bored all day in the field without cinema or shops?

J-No because I had to work all the time, and when the day is ended I was really tired!!

M-Well Joan, the time is over. I like so much talking with you about your profession.

J-Me too. Bye Mònica, it’s a pleasure talking with you.

My life

I was born in Sant Cugat, and when I was a child I live with my mother in Sabadell, because my parents separated when I was six months.

Until 7 years I went to the Carmelite religious school. In this school were very strict but I have a lot of friends. When my mother said that we were leaving I began to mourn. But when I moved I was very well because my mother could be with me.
The first years I went to el cor de Maria, in figueres. Then when I was 11 years I went in Castelló school and I liked so much!!
The last change that I have it was the pass to ESO. In first of Eso I was scared because I felt so small!!
Now I'm finishing Batxillerat and I will change again my life because I will move to Barcelona and I will start university studies.

These years of my life have been really special. I have formed as a person, I lived very intense moments, I fall in love and I have met many interesting people.

Now I'm going and I get a precious memory.

Thank you for those moments. All of yours are amazing!!
Mònica!:)

Scusa ma ti chiamo amore!




This weekend I went to see "perdona si et dic amor" because my mother has read the books and she asked me to acompany.
This film is an adaptation from the book of the Italian Federico Moccia. In Italy it was opened in January of 2009.

Niki is a young woman who is in the last year of high school. Alessandro is a publisher of thirty-seven years-old who his gilfriend splited up with him.
One day Niki and Alessandro have and accident and he leaves her everymorning in the high school because her motorbyke is broken.
Alessandro and Niki fell madly in love and they live a passionate love story without thinking about all social conventions and prejudices.

In my opinion this film shows a real love story. My mother says that the book is better than the film because there are a lot of beautiful escenes that don't feature in the film. For example when is the Niki's birthday he pretends that he doesn't remember but actually has prepared a trip to Paris.

And as always my favourite scene is the end, because she goes with him to the lighthouse.

Therefore I recommend this movie for all those people who likes the love.


*By the way I loved the actor is very handsome!

MY FIRST DAY IN LONDON! :)





Hello everybody!


Today I want to explain my first day in London. Firstly you can see my photos in the video and next you can read my expercience about this day.


As you can see at the pictures, we flew to London with a ryanair plane. When we arribed at the airport, we had to wait a long time because the poor Sergi has an Andorran nationality and in England they are very strict.


After travelling two hours by bus, we arrived at Royal National London hotel. We were very tired and we went to sleep.


The next day we woke up and we had breakfast at the hotel buffet. I didn't like breakfast because it was only bread with jam and butter.


Afterwards we walked to the British Museum. I liked so much the British Museum and with Rocio, Ariadna, Lauren, and Laura we took a lot of photos.


When we leave to de museum we went to coven garden and I ate McDonald's hamburgers with Lauren, Ariadna, Sergio, Rocio, Laura and Xavi in the street!! We ate in the street because it was so late and all the restaurants was fill. For this reason when we finish the hamburgers we went into Starbucks and we sit down in a comfortable sofa.

Then when we wanted to go with teachers we saw Jack Sparrow!!! and we took a photo with he.

After we visited the National Gallery museum but I was very tired and I didn't enjoy very much.

Finally we walked to picadilly circus and oxford street and we came into Hamleys, my favourite shop of toys.

Ariadna, Rocio, Lauren, Jake and me we returned to the hotel by taxi because we were weary. When we arrived at the hotel Rocio and I took pictures with a sweater that had bought us.

Afterwards we ate and we came to the bed waiting for the next day was just as well!

The winners will be asked to bog about their experiences a few times a week and they will also be paid 20,000 euros (about $27,000)!!

I have chosen this news because when I read it I wished could win in this contest! In my point of view this work is the best of the world because only you have to enjoy.
Travel to resorts in Africa is really expensive and I think that I won't have this money in all of my life. The person who invented this contest He was very intelligent because travel agency could make a lot of money, and there are a lot of participants.

But this initiative needs a good organization because there are a lot of possibilities of fraud.

Mr. President
I am writing to you because I would like to talk about the climate change. I thing that an important person, like you, has know what our future will be like.
Firstly, I am sure that you know about the damage that CO2 provokes in the ozone layer. I think that this topic is very important and the goverments and their presidents have to pay for the research looking for other alternatives like hydrogen or electric power.
Secondly, it is necessary that Spain and all the world should be conscious with the impact of climate change and we should change our habits for a better future.
If we don't do anything in the future , there will be natural disasters like tsunamis, earthquakes etc. and a lot of persons will die.
Thank you for your attention, Yours faithfully.

Podcast

I imagine a place where there is a little stone house, its doors and windows are make with a resistent wood for winter time. This house are in a green and extensive meadow that are surrounded by a dark wood fence like in fary-tails. In the middle of the meadow there is a deep well where doesn't have water for a long time. Is a summer evening, the birds sing a lovely melody, and I feel the heat of the shunshine in my cheeks. I see the mountains in the horizon. It is so nice this day! I'm lying down in the lawn and I see the blue sky, where there is a cloud that it looks a flower. What a shame that all of that is only an illusion!

FILM

In idioms classroom with Laura and Ariadna I saw Grease, a musical inspired by the 50s.
Grease is not a masterpiece but I think that is has to see because this film was unprecdented in the musical cinema. I like this film because is a delightful and fun musical. It is a very simple story but exciting because is very superficial full of american topics like burgers, high school dances... and passes just what we want to happen, a happy final.

The soundtrack has become well know because is cheerful and catchy. Also I think that the age of the actors is not appropiate to the age of the characters, John Travolta doesn't look like a high school boy!

Grease is a movie that anyone who sees repeats. Despite everithing Grease is a tacky movie.

NEW "Benetton brings global model search to life with augmented reality"

This new, deals about the new campain of Benetton, this retailer has invested in findig news and differents faces into web 2.0 with a global online casting. Benetton wants to represents the real world, the "new faces of the 21st century".
I choose this new because I was surprised. I think that is a really good new because nowadays the fashion wold is very "infected", they show a perfect girls that aren't exist in reality.
Consequently our society has become obsessed by aesthetic.
The fashion world causes that girls think that they are fat and ugly because the top models are very thin and operated. The fashion is a swindle, nothing is real!

Why do you think that now there are so many anorexic girls?

For this reason I was delighted. Now it's time that someone put some reality in this world!

I you want to see the web where people upload his pics: http://casting.benetton.com/

I choose some photos that I liked:

My first experience with psychology

Probably, You know that I want to study psychology at University and consequently now I'm studying psychology at high school with Albert Piñero. I love this subject because is very different and interesant. In class we are five people (Sara, Cèlia, Laura C., Katy and me). Normally Mondays and Wednesdays we do theory, and Thursday and Friday we do different activities.

A few weeks ago we went to the geriatric of Castelló and we practice with grandparents that they had some diseases such as Alzheimer's. This experience has been unbelievable, I like very much dealing with persons.
The first day that we went to geriatric we talk with geriatric psychologist and she told us what kind of patients we would treat and the function that psychologist makes in a geriatric. We saw that she has much work.
The other days we treat with our patiens and We took note of the dysfunctions that we detect.
And finally the last day the psychologist explain us the real live that patiens have. This day, for me, the worst day, because was the final and because is very sad to realize that these people before they were like us, and now his live is the expectation of death.
In conclusion I think that I remember all of my life this experience and I hope that I will can live a lot of experiences like this.

Bye bye!!:)

Nap time at high school!

Hello!! this entry is about sleep, one of my favourite things ;)
I have decided to talk about this matter because today I have read a magazine called "muy interesante" and the thruth is that is very interesting because it talks about plenty of things.

I have read that a study by the University of California, Berkeley (USA) reveals that 90 minute nap serve to clear the mind and enhance learning ability.
As more time we spend awake, our brain becomes slow down!
Moreover, when you was up all night the ability to start new activities, reduced by forty percent! In the magazine say that, now the scientists wants to investigate if the little sleep, that is related to aging, causes diseases such as Alzheimer's.

All of this information made me think that probably the education structure is not good, because the students don't have time. If when we have exams also we have homework it's impossible do everithing!! Accordingly we have to lose sleep hours.


The Solution, make a sleep time in high school like in nursery... of course I'm joking. I don't know THE SOLUTION but now you know that sleep is very important!

Flashmob!

Recently I knew about flashmobs and I thought that is an interesting topic to talk on this blog.

1The flashmob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse.

The flashmobs are actions that a group of people agree to do in a public place like a train or a square. These people communicate normaly through facebook, email, mobile...

The flashmob origins was created in Manhattan in May 2003, by Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, the first attempt was unsuccessful but nowadays the flashmobs are very frequent and have become in many places around the world.

In barcelona this year it made two flashmobs, one in gran via 2 and the other in the subway. The first it was a dance and the second it consisted of go with uderwear in a subway, these act was done in many cities in the same day!

The flashmob can be a dance, a homenage, a pillow fight or a similar activity.

1 extracted from wikipedia

The first flashmob that I saw in youtube was this:

and I think that is very shocking because all the people dance equal and there are many people!!

And here you can see more videos about flashmobs arround the world ;)

Do you want to dance?








Or you prefer some feathers?



Or maybe you preffer to be still?



I think that the flashmobs are a fun way to make friends and de-stresses!!

good luck :)

National Geographic's Pictures

Well I had to choose an image but I had to choose two because are very beautiful!
These pictures are some of the winning photos of the national Geographic.

On the first picture we can see a child called Cary who this stands on a desert road. He's a lovely boy, his eyes are profound and the colour of his eyes is coordinate with the khaki t-shirt that he dressed. He has a pale skin and contrast with the red of his cheecks. The child have a calm expression but he stays serious.
The road
and in general the scenery is blur, because child is the principal of the photo.

This picture is caption by Lisa Roberts, but I think that the photoshop has contributed because the effect of blur is very difficult to take.



This is the second picture, it has drawn my attention because I see that the flawer isn't finished his growing. Its petals have an intense yellow, we can see that it is greener in the center, which makes this flower even more beautiful.

The background of image is blue and it's like a child picture because it has a blur effect.

This picture is taked by Richard Susanto on a sunny fall afternoon on Illinois.



The photo's information and the photos I take from this web page: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/11/national_geographics_internati.html

This new talk about of children worldwide are thought to be working full-time on tobacco farms, suffering from toxic levels of nicotine exposure and abusive labor conditions.

This practice is an abusive work because the children are exposed in a very bad conditions. I don’t understand how the companies for money, can have the childrens in this situation! is very cruel, and while in the first world complain because the taxes of tobacco are high!! It’s increible, in these things I see that the human are very selfish!

And why the goverments do nothing? For the same thing, money. The money is one of the worst things that man has created. Overall I'm very disappointed with world because are very unffair.

The power of photoshop and make-up




In the famous and glamorous world, the physical image is very important, in the magazines we can see perfect girls with beatyfull faces, but this image that the magazines shows is not the real image. The famous are not perfect Goods, they are humans with spots, wrinkles and flaws. How they get seem Afrodita?!

Well they don’t made a pact with the evil, is more simple than it looks, they using fotoshop and make up. Before that the photographer took a picture the model has make up after with photoshop the photographer removes wrinkles, brightens the picture, changes the eye color… and then published on the magazine If all is correct.

We should know that we aren’t perfect but the famous neither, simplement they show a false reality.

These pictures and this video shows the change that these processes do.

The lion King (flimreview)






The lion king is the best artwork of Walt Disney, the music and the gràfics are perfects, and it isn’t only for children because behind of the children’s characters there are a values like justice or love and all we can learn of them.

The fact that simba’s father dies, that is the lion king, the authority,makes the movie more exciting and sentimental. Is a film very human, we identificate with hem easily.

Also have big moments of humor with Timon and Pumba, that is shared songs that have become history like Hakuna Matata. Timon and Pumba are a characters that they know how to live the life, and he leave his worries and he have fun. They teach to Simba the value of life and that can’t be wasted.

This film theach that for everything is in order it’s it’s needs an authority that controls the bad and the good things, and this authority must be wise.

The music is very good, has a great musical value and fits with the scenes.
A musician that stands out is elton john that made song “can you feel the love tonight”

In conclussion, the lion king is my favorite Disney movie and I shared one of the best stages of my life, the Childhood.





can you feel the love tonight

Oral presentation




Well, once I saw my oral presentation, I think that in general is a good presentation but could improve some things.

For example, I've seen that I was wrong that I see the paper all the time, on the next presentation I will have to try not to bring paper.

Also I notes me a little nervous, and would have to make more gestures and hold the attention of my audience without stopping as (aaaaa, mmmm).

Finally, I should have used connectors and fillers, and I think that my pronunciation is compressive but it could improve in some words for example definitively.

P.D: I'm sorry but in this power point can't see the tittle that is laughter therapy.

Human Rights

The human rights are basic rights and freedoms that all humans in the world are entitled, it’s started on December of 1948 and there are 30 human rights.

An example of human rights is the article 22 that says: “Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality”

In my country the society are entitled to have social security, but for example in USA, the firstling power in the world, the people haven’t got this right, if you don’t have money and take a issue, you can’t go to the doctor. It’s very shocking, that the most important country, don’t have a medical service for his society!
Obama, the president of United Sates, a few months ago, he went to Spain and met Zapatero, the president of Spain, for talking and taking example and maybe copying the same Spanish system of our social security.

But the Social Security is a relative modern right, in the all world history, the medical service was a privilege for a rich group of society. Only the nobility access to the Doctor, other people, came with quack and prayed to God for cure them, and they could live or died.

In concussion, I think that in general term, society doesn’t give the importance that it would have human rights. The human rights are relevant only in developed countries, because in the in poor countries rich men take opportunity of the situation and setting up their businesses to leave them very cheaper, because people don’t ask more than just a piece of bread
The right to social security is an example of 30 human rights, all we have to know that we have rights so that they can fight for them.

My opinion about e-books


I don’t agree with the idea of electronic books. The education now is descreasing and I think that using these books will be worse.

In my opinion this learning method is not good for the level of students because when it will be the moment for writing without mistakes they won’t know because the computers and electronic systems correct the mistakes of spelling.

A part from that, experts says that the computer screen, to restraint over time, cause eye damage. And if now the education use e-books, when students become adults they will have to weigh glasses.

Another disadvantage is that with e-books is much easier to copy each other, with chats, all is possible.

Well in conclussion I think that is better the traditional education with pen and paper, would you like that your life consist just be writing to a computer?

Hi, I'm Mònica in this e-mail I submit, but I won’t say the age or for example where I live because you already know, so try to define me as a person.
I am a little bit shy, but with my friends I’m extroverted therefore probably rather see me in class very happy.
The truth is I can't say what my qualities are that I have, I’m not a pessimistic person with low self-esteem, but I think that there isn’t anything that I do perfect but I think that in general I do the things pretty well.

I am happy because I have my family and friends who support me, I have no problems with the studies and although my life is pretty routine and try to get out of the routine light my way.
I love to laugh and have fun, either with friends or with parents and I hate uncertainty, I don’t like, for example, when someone comes home without telling us first.
One of my Hobbies apart from reading is travelling, this year I went to Germany in the area of Babiera. It's absolutely pretty! everything is green, the people are very civilized and generally you can communicate with English!
If I am studying Batxillerat is because I would like to go to university for study psychology, my father doesn’t like the idea because it says there isn’t work, but is my decision and love psychology, it is a way of learning what I am like. Thank you for your time.

Good Bye teacher! See you soon :)
