My oral presentation

My oral presentation was about my reserch project of observation and investigation of marine animals in Cap de Creus.

I think that I made my oral presentation good. It's true that some things can be better I think that although I was very nervious because I spoke in front of people and it wasn't in my matternal language I was good.

My power point I believe it's very beautiful, interesting and organized. It's the same power point that I used in my oral presentation of the reserch project, because I considere I did it fantastic.

The pronunciation was wonderful but my voice trembled.

Now I have seen it many times and I have corrected the mistakes, so the next time I explain this project I will do better.

Can teenagers live without mobile phones?

Teenagers can't live without mobile phones because the world changes and people adapts to new technologies. In my view the most technology thing at the moment is the mobile phone.

In my opinion mobile phones are the best thing in the world.
Everybody in the world has a mobile phone. This thing is very important nowadays because thanks to it we can talk a lot with the world.

Nowadays both young and old people have a mobile phone.
This mobile isn't only for talking, it's also used for entering facebook, twitter, photos, videos and other things.
There are very different mobile phones and different colours or things for each person's taste. The mobile phone is very practical because we take it easy and isn't upset us.

I think that teenagers can't live without mobile phones but neither can other people too.

To me, the mobile phone is the best thing of the world.

37 Pakistanis Killed in Blasts in Shiite District of Karachi

In Islamabad, Pakistan have had two powerful explosions in the Shiite neigh borhood of Karachi over two apartament blocks.

Several apartments caught fire as gas lines rupture from the force of the bombs. The first bomb was very strong and it was in a car bomb. The second blast might be by a gas cylinder.

In this moment, people don't know who is the responsible but probably it is a pattern of a compaign against Pakistan's shiite minority.

The city police force had been on alert in anticipation of such attacks given the sunni militant compaign against Shiites.

The most notorious group is "Lashkar-e-Jhangui".

 

In my opinion, the life in Pakistan is  a hell. Nobody is sure at home. Really, Karachi Pakistan's biggest city and commercial capital has a long history of violence.

Queen in hospital for gastroenteritis assessment

The old monarch was taken from Windsor Castle by private car to the Edward VII Hospital in central London.

The last time she was in the hospital, was in 2003 for a knee operation.

Doctors have said that she'll be there for a couple of days, that it is not an emergency. It is a precaution in front of her engagements for this week.

 

In my opinion, the Queen is ill but it's not an important illness. She is taken ill with stomach bug.

She is an old woman, she is 86 years old, but she is a strong woman with a good health.

- assessment: avaluació

This year Adele has won an Oscar for "the Skyfall theme". This is the first time in 47 years of Bond films.

But only Adele has sold with "skyfall", three million copies.

Twelve hours before he killed her, she made a framed four photo collage. It was the Valentine's gift for his boyfriend.

The shop assistant have told how Reeva acted like any girl in love.

He has admited he shot the model but he says he mistook her for a burglar at his luxury home in Pretoria, South Africa.

 

I think it's not possible. Really I don't believe he can mistake her for a buglar. Now, only he knows the truth.

Perhaps they had a problem in their relation. The sad reallity is that she is dead.

My normal life

Do you know me?

 

I'm Èlia Carreras López. I'm 17 years old. I was born in Figueres, but now we are living in Castelló d'Empúries. It's a nice place for living because there are the beach, the boats, good people and some places to go or to visit. I attend a high school in Castelló d'Empuries, called IES Castelló d'Empuries. I wake up very early in the morning, it's very hard for me. Before go to school I prepare a good breakfast and I have a hot shower and finally to get dressed.

 

My favourite subject, I think it's biology, because I like nature and animals. Next year, I will stay in the University. I would like to be a vet. I love animals and I decided to do it when I was younger. I wish that my dream becomes a reality.

 

I have got one brother, his name is Marc. She plays football and only he likes this. My brother is a very good student. He is a very kind boy.

My brother and me always have dinner with our parents and we help at home. My brother helps to my father with the mechanic's things and I help to my mother with the house's things.

 

When the weather is fine, I go with my family to the beach by bycicle or I meet with my friends or I do some fun thing.

 

I know that my family and my friends are the best and I am nothing without them.

My new friend

One day, teacher said that a new boy from another country came here, in our school. I was very happy, I would like know him as fast as it was possible.  We had heard that his name was Karsten. The desk next to me was empty and I knew he would probably sit there. I would like it.
 

When I went to school on Monday morning, I quickly hung my coat up and went to my desk. There was the new boy.

He was fantastic. He was happy and intelligent. He came from Rusian and he spoke English, French, Spanish and Rusian. He liked sciences like to me. Classes started and I found out that he was excellent at maths. He even helped me with one or two of the problems.  He helped everybody with the homeworks. He was incredible.

I knew we were going to be great friends.
 

Sex without love?

Personally, I disagree with this.

First, I consider that some people have sex with another person for their necessity or personal interest. Really? Is it necessary? It's very nasty and bad.

Secondly, I think that some people do that because nowadays they look for love, but it's really difficult to find it, because normally they have sex very easy with out love.

In my view, people pass more fast the illnesses. For example: AIDS, etc.

Before this action was considered a very bad thing, people never told about this, it was a bad thing. Nevertheless, nowadays people look this like a natural thing.

People change...

Habits change...
