FINAL REFLACTION

I’m going to explain my opinion on my Blog of English this year.

At first when I started to write and do things on the blog I thought that it was difficult and heavier.

But now, I think that it’s a good way to improve my English. I can express more things, and I can find other ways to express myself. My vocabulary is wider.
I can see that my English improves a lot.

I think that the activity that I have improved the most is the oral presentation because this helps us to store and maintain a good conversation in English. Also podcast is a good activity, because you can pronounce without shame.

The activity that I enjoy the most is watching a film, it’s the most entertaining thing that I have done and the subtitles help a lot. If you choose a good and easy film you can learn a lot of things.

For me this year has been difficult and I had to work hard in all subjects. The truth is that English hasn’t been easy, but you learn a lot of.

I would like to thank in particular my teacher Juan Carlos and Jordi, two great teachers who work to help us.

THANKS!!

GUARDIOLA

“Pep Guardiola i Sala”, born 18 January 1971 in Santpedor, Barcelona. Is a Spanish football manager and former player.

Guardiola played as a defensive midfielder and spent the majority of his playing career with Barcelona, whom he currently manages.

He was part of Johan Cruyff's dream team that won Barcelona's first European Cup.

After, Guardiola became coach of Barcelona B. Before, Barcelona president Laporta announced that Guardiola would succeed Frank Rijkaard as the first team manager.

He signed his contract on 5 June 2008. In his first season as manager, Barcelona won the treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. In doing so, Guardiola became the youngest UEFA Champions League winning manager ever.

The following season, Guardiola and Barcelona won the Supercopa de España, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup, bringing the manager's tally to a perfect six trophies in six competitions.

My team is Real Madrid, but I recognize that Pep Guardiola as a best and great coach, who gives everything for his team.

I commend this man for his effort, sincerity and humility. It is an example.

IS BECOMING A DANGER OBESITY?

Obesity is spreading into developing countries. Nutrition experts warn of a global epidemic of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Although a diet of fatty fast foods may account for obesity in some countries, a major cause is that many manufacturers now add more sugar to foods "to make them taste better." Additionally, Asian and African diets include more edible oils, with the consequent extra calories.

People use technology at work and save a lot of physical work. People want to work less and have more free time.


Since obesity is rising rapidly among schoolchildren too, especially in areas where recreation and physical activity have been reduced, there is an urgent need for teachers to be aware of the relationship between nutrition and academic performance

We should'nt go to that extreme, we must maintain a good physique.

TAKE THAT

Take That is an English pop band famous of the united states. The group is made up of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange. Barlow is the main songwriter of the group. Each member performs mainly as a vocalist, though each has some instrumental and composition ability.

In the first half of 1990, the band achieved great success as an act of five boy band with Robbie Williams.

Currently, Williams go out of the group, who in 2005 was gone.
Take That sold more than 25 million records between 1991-1996.

Take That has generated two of the best-selling albums of the decade, and biggest hits of 1996.

The band has released a second album after the meeting of study called The Circus and Circus have completed their tour Live 2009.

For me it’s a great band and their songs are very emotional and expressive.
