FINAL REFLACTION
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!!

FORMAL LETTER

Hi David,
Thanks for you letter, I’m going to describe a place that I have imaginated.
It’s a tropical island. So I’m describing the perfect place for my life, a place where I feel well and I can relax.
The beach, sun and friends, are a combination of good feelings, have fun and relaxation, and my island, should have these three qualities.
In my imagination, I can see I'm in a beachfront house, where I can watch the waves and feel the pleasant breeze. Stepping on the sand and feel my feet burn with the heat.
Then I go walking in a small jungle full of giant trees, all covered with beautiful yellow flowers, and you can smell the flowers.
Inside the forest, there are a lot of houses shops and buildings are made of wood. All the people live on the food provided by the trees.
At dusk, a few fireflies appear throughout the island and illuminating everything. And nearby, in the park of tulips, music sounds better and is full of people, who have dressed in white clothes, drinking, dancing and talking.
It would be a lovely place if it was true.
Sincerely
Guillem Cordon.
DISCUSION ESSEY
We haven’t learned to respect the Earth, human begins cannot respect the poor or starving, for the same reason they don’t respect the land. New technologies offer us alternative routes to renewable energies that don’t pollute the atmosphere, but we still rely on fuel.
We drive cars and other vehicles powered by gasoline or diesel engines, we use electricity from central plants that burn coal, natural gas or oil, and we burn wood, charcoal, natural gas and coal for cooking and heating. All these activities increase the atmospheric concentration of CO2, a gas that traps heat from the Sun and that also destroys the ozone layer in the atmosphere.

We are destroying the planet slowly thanks to the deforestation, air pollution, urban sprawl, global warming, landfills, pesticides and overpopulation.
The solutions are many, but we should all agree. But this is impossible, because many people don’t care about what happens to the planet. Few people are as concerned and try to find solutions.
The solutions are very expensive. These solutions are: reforestation, clean air, clean water, community plantings, organic farming, solar energy, and more.
Personally, I believe that if we all started small steps to help the earth, we would get it to recover and in this way we would be respected
ORAL PRESENTATION: STRESS
WHAT is stress? According to one expert, stress may be defined as “any physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.” Does this mean that stress is inherently harmful? No. A mild degree of stress and tension can sometimes be beneficial. Feeling mildly stressed when carrying out a project or assignment often compels us to do a good job and to work energetically.
So when is stress a problem? It i

The Price of Stress
whether you are young or old or the stress in your life comes from work or school, chronic stress can take a heavy toll on your health. When you feel stress, your heart rate and blood pressure soar. Your levels of blood sugar rise. Hormones are released. If stress becomes persistent, this may produce physical or psychologic damage over time.
What can happen to teenagers?
It is very depressing to find out that in their desire to escape from pain, teenagers take routes such as alcohol and drug abuse, truancy, delinquency, aggression and violence, and running away from home. This is routes that lead them into problems more overwhelming than those they were trying to escape.
Stress is a fact of modern living; it cannot be avoided entirely.
Stress at school
Now our job is to study, and many people think that study is easy job and live well. But as we know it is not so.
This period we are living is stressful, yet we know that what we really want to do and about what high school will have to decide.
There are times when we not pass exams because we felt dispirited when ever had done.
Maybe you would think it would be better to throw in the towel, but if you have a clear objective or goal already defined, you must fight for it, whatever the cost.
How to Reduce Stress
* Give your body sufficient rest each day
* Maintain a reasonable diet. Avoid overeating
* Engage in proper and regular exercise, such as brisk walking
* If something worries you, talk to a friend about it
* Spend more time enjoying your family
* Delegate or share household chores
* Know your own physical and emotional limitations
* Set realistic goals; do not be a perfectionist
* Be organized; have a balanced, reasonable schedule
* Cultivate Christian qualities such as mildness and patience
* Set aside some time for yourself

Castelló d'Empúries
Head Mistress,
I'm writing this letter to you to explain some problems that I have in this academic course.
My name is Guillem Cordon, I am a student of first year scientific batxillerat in your school and I live in Sant Miquel de Fluvià.
This year is the first one that the students of secundary and the students of batxillerat have the same time to get into school, this thing benefits me because I can take the bus in the mornings, but I cannot take it on having finished the classes because we do not have the same schedule.
Another thing that worries me is related to the week of vacations programmed for February.
The majority of students would like this week to be at the end of June.
Finally I would like to propose that the students of batxillerat that do not live in Castelló can be the first to use the dining room, since we have little time to eat.
I'm grateful to you in advance for your interest and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
Guillem Cordon.

- THE REFLECTION QUESTIONS
· What would happen when somebody took out what is ours?
· What would happen when people next to us died?
· What would happen when you progressed and imrpoved and some bogy spoilt everything?
· What would happen when they removed your happoness?
Obviously, we would be different people and we would arrive to a limit point, which might be death.
This happens today in the world, our home, it is dying. We are the cancer of the woorld, we are destroying it.
This happens because of our greed and desire to have more and more. We don't realize that we do damage to the world, but also to us. We are changing the world.
- I HAVE INSPIRED IN THE MOVIE HOME
A movie shows the actions of the man in the world, and the consequences of these acts, and also some of the solutions.
- THE MOVIE
This documentary explains the current situation of the world, its climate and its caracteristics, and we altering its future.
Human activities grow, we pass from an agricultural era to a industrial and technological era, increasing the food, desforestation, light pollution, air pollution...
The global warming increased, the poles are melting, the level of the sea is rising, some species are becoming extinct, changes in climete...
There isn't solution, the world death.

I belive that we have to be conscious and know that happens in the earth.
Know that there are people that help the earth
Help to world respecting it
I invite you see HOME and 2012. Thanks for you atention.
