4. The Czech Republic
5. Finland

SPAIN

I was borned in Spain, Catalonia in a village called Roses, on the 19^th of  December 1995.

I lived in Roses until I was 3 years old.Afterwards my family bought a house in Castelló d’Empuries, Empuriabrava.

In Spain, I’ve stayed in Barcelona, Madrid, Valladolid, Almeria, Canarias, Mallorca, etc.

FRANCE

I have been to France 3 times. One time I went when I was 7 years old, I went with my family. We went to France because I wanted to go to Disneyland Paris.

The second time I went because my parents celebrated their anniversary. And this time for the first time I saw the Eiffel Tower.

And the last time i went to Paris, because my brother, when he was 8 years old, wanted to go to DisneyLand Paris too.

ITALY

I went to Italy this year at the end 4^th ESO.

I went with my friends ans my ex teachers. We went to Italy by bus and returned by boat. We visited a lot of cities (Rome, Florence, Pisa) and many monuments (churches, The fountain di Trevi....).

This trip was a wonderful experience for me and I’ll never forget it.

THE CZECH REPUBLIC

I travelled to the Czech Republic with my gymnastic club.We went there because we had a European an international competition.

Apart from the competition, we visited many things in the Czech Republic.The most intersting thing for me was a bridge, that had a monuments and the people said that if you thouch this monument you are welcome to the Czech Republic too.

TUNIS

I travelled to Tunis with my family and my parents friends.

I went there because it was a boat stop on a cruise. I didn’t like this country much because when we arrived the locals attacked us, because they only wanted to sell a lot of souvernirs. I was very stressed.

MEXICO

I travelled to Mexico three years ago. That’s the first time I flight over the Atlantic ocean. I went with my family in holydays. I wanted to go to Mexico since I was 9 years old, and my mother likes hot weather more than the cold. I celebrated there on 19^th of December my birthday.

FINLAND

I went to Finland last week. I went with my gymnastic club because we had a competition too.This competition was only of this country but the association wanted to invite a foreign club, and this club was us.

For them, we are the best gymnastics club they knew in Spain.

In thes trip, we had a change with this gymnasts, in the summer they’ll come to Spain.

Finland for me, is very beautiful and relaxing, but the problem there is the weather because it was very cold.

Many families have a sauna at home.

TRANACRIPTION
 

ELS MEUS VIATGES ARREU DEL MÓN

Jo he estat a:

1. Espanya
2. Tunísia
3. República Dominicana
4. França
5. Itàlia
6. Mèxic
7. Finlàndia

ESPANYA

Jo vaig néixer a Espanya, Catalunya en un poble anomenat Roses, el 19 de Desembre del 1995.

Jo vivia a Roses des de que tenia 3 anys. Després la meva família va comprar una casa a Castelló d’Empúries, Empuriabrava.

A Espanya, jo he estat a Barcelona, Madrid, Valladolid, Almeria, Canàries, Mallorca, etc.

TUNÍSIA

Jo vaig viatjar a Tunísia amb la meva família i uns amics dels meus pares.

Jo vaig anar-hi perquè era una de les parades del creuer. No em va agradar gaire aquell país perquè quant nosaltres vam arribar els d’allà en van atacar, perquè ells només volien vendre moltes coses. Jo estava molt estressada.

REPÚBLICA TXECA

Jo vaig viatjar a República Txeca amb el meu club de gimnàstica. Nosaltres va anar-hi perquè nosaltres teníem una competició europea i internacional.

Apart de la competició, nosaltres vam visitar moltes coses de República Txeca. La cosa més interessant per mi va ser un pont, el qual tenia uns monuments i la gent deia que si tu tocaves un dels monuments tornaries a República Txeca un altre vegada.

FRANÇA

Jo he estat a França tres vegades. La primera vegada vaig anar  quant jo tenia 7 anys, jo vaig anar amb la meva família. Nosaltres va manar a França perquè Jo volia anar a Disneyland Paris.

La segona vegada jo vaig anar perquè els meus pares celebraven el seu aniversari. I aquest cop va ser el primer cop que vaig veure la Torre Eiffel.

I l’última vegada jo vaig anar a Paris, perquè el meu germà, quant tenia 6 anys, volia anar també a Disneyland Paris.

ITÀLIA

Jo vaig anar a Itàlia aquest any al final del curs de 4rt d’ESO.

Jo vaig anar amb els meus amics i els meus exprofessors. Nosaltres vam anar a Itàlia amb autobús i vàrem tornar amb vaixell. Nosaltres visitarem moltes ciutats (Roma, Florència, Pisa) i moles monuments (esglésies, la fontanna di Trevi…).

Aquest viatge va ser una experiència meravellosa per mi i jo mai ho oblidaré.

FINLÀNDIA

Jo vaig anar a Finlàndia la setmana passada. Jo vaig anar amb el meu club de gimnàstica perquè nosaltres també teníem una competició. Aquesta competició era només per aquell país però l’associació volia convidar a un equip estranger, i aquest equip érem nosaltres.

Per ells, nosaltres érem el millor club que coneixien de Espanya.

En aquest viatge, nosaltres fèiem un canvi amb les gimnastes, i a l’estiu elles vindrien a Espanya.

Finlàndia per mi, és molt bonica i relaxant, però el problema és el temps perquè es molt fred.

Moltes familiars tenen una sauna a casa.

MÈXIC

Jo vaig viatjar a Mèxic fa 3 anys. Va ser el primer cop que jo vaig volar per sobre de l’oceà Atlàntic. Jo vaig anar amb la meva família per vacances. Jo volia anar a Mèxic des de que tenia 9 anys, i la meva mare li agrada el temps de calor en comparació amb el fred. Jo vaig celebrar el 19 de Desembre el meu aniversari.

SELF-EVALUATION

I think my oral presentation was interesting and original. This topic was different to the others students. I thought I could do this topic because, now I knew better my  classmate. I hope my oral presentation liked them. I was talking about many experiences and funny things in my travels.

I divided this project in seven parts. Each one is about one country that iIve visited.

So, I think my oral presentation isn’t bored because

I wrote on the blackboard the most difficults words so they could understand very well my exposition when I explained it.

I shown them three o four photos for every country.

I know I read sometimes, but I think, I made a gook oral presentation.

In this oral presentation I used a power point because it’s nicer and more practical.

I think my project was complete.

ADRIAN MOLE VS. THIRTEEN

Adrian Mole's book and the film “Thirteen” are examples about teenager's problems.

Adrian Mole's book the main character is Adrian Mole. Adrian is a child, he has many problems with his family because his parents are separated, and also he has problems with one big child, Barry Kent. This child hits Adrian a lot of times because Barry wants his money. Adrian also has more problems with his friend, Nigel, because Nigel steals his love, Pandora. Adrian looks after an old man. His name is Bert Baxter. Adrian helps him in all things. Adrian has a difficult life, but he fights for a new good life, and he gets it.

In contrast, in the film “Thirteen” the main character is Tracy. She is a good girl, her life is very nice, she has a good marks in school and she goes with a good friends. She is a good daughter for his parents. She is well manered and correct. But she has only one problem in her life, her parents problem, because they have a divorced. But Tracy, this problem is supperatefor her. One day, she looks in the school, the best popular girls, and she decides change her look, and her actitud. She goes with Evie, the most popular girl in the school, Evie teaches Tracy a lot of new things, she steals, escapes from her house, smokes, goes in the night to parties, gets pearcing, drinks alcohol, takes drugs, wears a provocate clothes, makes up, kisses a lot of boys, and more bad things. She begins to insult her family, so she begins has very bad marks in school. As a general rule, her actitud is very bad. And then, her family don't know what to do.

Finally, her family helps her, and she changes a little.

The two histories are different but some things are similar. The first history “Adrian Mole”, he begins his history very bad. He is an unfortunate boy. Adrian fights against his problems and his life changes for good.

The second history “Thirteen”, ata the beginning Tracy's life is nice. She is a very good girl, and then when she wants to be a popular girl as Evie, this life changes and she has a revel girl. She has then a bad life.

Probably, all people has problems in the life. You must be strong and learn of your mistakes, so you must fight agains bad things and you'll get be happy.

MY GYMNASTIC COMPETITION IN FINLAND

My gymnastic club travelled to Finland by plane. The trip was from the 27^th to the 30th of October. We left Spain and we flew to Turku, because the competition was there. It was a Finland gymnastic competition. A few months ago, the organization invited us because they had been in Figueres two years ago. They thought that we were one of the best gymnastic club in Spain.

Our club travelled with two groups, in each of them, there were eleven girls. One group was the 10 to 12 years old and the other group was the 14 to 16 years old.

When we arrived at Turku, we all stayed with a Finnish family house. It was an exchange of gymnasts. The first day we were trainning the whole day.It was very hard.

Then arrived the most awaited day, Saturday 29^th, the day of de competition. It began at 8 o'clock.

When we arrived to the sport's center, we combed our hair us and put on our make-up. Then we dressed and started to train.

The coaches explained us the last details. We were very nervous and I felt a big emotion to be there. A few minutes later, a voice said our name “Club Gimnastica Rítmica Gemma”. They said our names: Natalie, Mireia, Marta, Ester and Elia. We went to the stage. The moment had arrived.

The music began, and we started the exercice. We were very sure and we thought that we made a very good exercise, but in the second minute a ball fell on the floor. It wasn't a problem. We continued much better. People applauded.

After the exercise we celebrated it. Our coaches congratulated us. I was very happy because the exercise went well and I thought we would have a good position. I felt very happy. After the competicion, I was quiet and relaxed.

MY SUMMER IN ENGLAND. Part 2

In England I stayed for two weeks. 

I travelled to England on Saturday 16th of July and I came back to Spain on Saturday 30th of July.

For me it was a good time outside of my home.

·SATURDAY 16th

I met other catalan students at the airport in Barcelona, because they were in the same agency where I was. We flew together to London, the flight lasted 3 hours. 

When we arrived to the campus in the Cambridge University. The director gave us the keys of our rooms. They  were in the same flat.

At that moment in the campus stayed only my group and a french group. 

We went to a comercial center. It was near the campus. 

After we played a game of cards to get to know each other. 

I went to bed early because the next day the school started at nine o'clock.

MY SUMMER IN ENGLAND. Part 1

Guess what I did this summer.

I went to England in July. I had thought about going to England because I wanted to stay in a residence and I wanted to learn English very well. However I discovered that in the residence you don't learn very well, whereas in a house with a British family, you can learn a lot. 

Our residence was in Medway. It's a city in the south of London. Its name was "Cambridge University". There we slept in apartaments and the school was inside "the campus". The travel agency was "Sheffield Center". I flew with another students and a teacher/guide. She stayed with us every day. It was perfect because the teacher/guide was young, she was 23 years old, so we did a lot of crazy things.

In London, I met a lot of people. I met Catalan students (Mireia, Cesc, Ramon, Adrià, Arnau, Roko, Genís, Ferran, Lluís...) and I met students from other countries (Enrico, Marco, Lorenzo, Andrea, Franchesco, Lui, Ben, Tom...). They were nice persons.

The first day, we did an English test and they put us in five groups. It depended on our level in English. We were twelve students in my class. Most  of them were italian. My teacher's name was Ben. He was a good teacher and was very friendly with us.

Consequently, next year when I'll be sixteen, I would like to go to London too, but I'll stay in a British family's house.

It was a very good experience.

ME!

Hello Milco!

My name is Èlia Carreras López.

I’m fifteen years old, but on 19th of December I’ll be sixteen. I’m the youngest in the class.

I live in Empuriabrava (Castelló d’Empúries), I lived in Roses before, but when my brother was born my parents decided to live in Empuriabrava because they bought a house there. I like Empuriabrava because it is a famous port and we can have a boat or a jetski. In summer it is lots of fun to live here but there are lots of people. In the Emporda we live near nature (Aiguamolls, animals, the sea, the river..), we’re very lucky.

I love my family, my mother helps me, my father protects me, my brother is an angel and my cat is very special for me.

I practise rhythmic gymnastics since I was 7 years old, but I will finish it because this year I have started sixth form and I know it will be hard, so I will study and I will try hard to get good marks. I have chosen scientific subjects. My favourite subject is biology. I like Maths and Science of the earth too. I would like to have a high level in English when I finish high school because it’s really important.

I would like go to the university in Barcelona, if It’s possible.

In the future, I would like to be a very good veterinarian, and I will travel to Australia. 

What more could I wish for? To be happy. :)
