Do you think "Inter-High" is a good idea?

Nowadays in United Kingdom exist a new way to do the class. It consist in do the class for internet with a webcam.
I think that this possibility has positive and negative consequences.
On the one hand, I think that it’s a good idea because this form for doing your classes is cheaper than the normal school. Today High-schools are very expensive and this it’s a solution for economic problems; with the webcam you can doing the class from your house and it’s more comfortable; an other advantage is that if you are tired you can do the siesta between classes and it’s good because you can work much better. Finally, if you go to a virtual school you needn’t books and notebooks, you only need a computer.
On the other hand, Inter-High have bad consequences too. To begin, if you doing your class for internet, you haven’t got personal contact with your teacher and your friends and it’s probably that you have never met new friends. Moreover if you have a problem with internet you can’t do class, for example if the power goes off you will not be able to turn on the computer. To finish the worst thing is that if you fall ill you can do class from your bed.
In conclusion, I think that Inter-High has got good and bad characteristics, but I prefer the traditional school.

Hello Sònia,

This summer has been a very good summer, last year I worked in a pizzeria but this year I didn't work, I had one excellent excuse, research project!
At the beginning of the summer my mum said me: Blai where will you work this year? and I answered: no mum, this year I can’t work, I have a lot of school work, I have the research project! For this excuse I didn’t work....jejeje! please don’t say anything to my mother, she will kill me!
I went out all the nights and I knew a lot of fantastic people from around Europe! Germany and English girls are very beautiful!
My cousin Carla went to United States one month and half and I missed her a lot! Next year I think I will go to America too, it’s the only form that I have for don’t work...you already know I don´t like work a lot!
This is all, see you later!!

Reflection

It's over, I finished my portfolio so now I'm going to do a little reflection

This year we didn't do a lot of grammar instead of grammar we did speakings, games, oral presentations, listenings...

On one hand I think that it is great for the people who has a good level of english because they can improve it more than working with the grammar but on the other hand for the people who don't have a good level is a little difficult.

But I think it's a good way to leran english and it is funnier than the grammar, Sonia I think you did a good work with us this course.

And I belive that work the oral presentations and the writtings is the best way to learn but we can't forget the grammar...jeje

bye friends! have a good summer!

Third oral presentation

This is the last oral presentation witch I did.
I did it with Gerard and we talked about the violence and the racism on the football witch nowadays is a serious and a real problem!

Description of a friend

I'm describing Romà, one of my best friends.

Romà is a tall person, his hair are black but he is some blonde too.

He is very thin. He has brown eyes, little ears and he has a little mouth too. His noise isn't big but ¡t isn't little neither.

He has a very good charcter, I don't remember a day that he has been angry. With Romà you can laught a lot because he is like a clown.

He enjoys going to the cinema and riding his bike, we go out every weekend at night and we know a lot of new friends every night, we enjoy dancing in the disco.

Romà is a very good friend but I have more best freinds a part from him and we alwyas go together.

I belive that all of you meet Romà and I'm sure everybody think that he is a great person and I can say that he is also a really good friend.

Are children affected by violence on TV?

Nowadays we live in a society where the most of the people have a TV or a computer at home.
It can look like a good thing but the TV can cause serious problems to the children.
Now I'm going to explain why.
There are a lot of violence on TV and the children can watch it because the violence's programs are usuals on TV. When they watch this programes they can belive that it is a good thing and they can try to do the same.
For this reason there are terrible events like the columbine masacre witch happened a few years ago.
For all this reasons and more parents should control their children, by this way they couldn't watch violent's programmes and maybe the terrible events like the columbine masacre wouldn't be usuals among the population.

Formal letter

Dear Madam,
We are well in the highschool because we consider that there is a very good organization and very good teachers, but also, there are things that we don’t like, for this reason we are writing you, for tell you what we dislike.
First, we are going to talk about the secondary door. We think if there is a door in front of “Punt de Trobada”, in the break time we could use it for going out and go at the bar. If we can go out for this door we will have more time for eating.
Secondly, we complain about the technology of the centre. We think there isn’t a lot of this. Technology is the future of our society and it’s very good for learning. We ask for more computers and more beamers although we know it’s very difficult because it’s very expensive and there are a lot of schools, but we would try this.
Finally, we want ask for more excursions and final school trips. For us, excursions are a good method for learn because they are a practical class and the students enjoy and want learn more. The final school trip is another thing that we want ask for, because we think we have a lot of work during the course and we deserve a little trip with classmates and teachers at the end.

These three things are our dislikes. As you can see, we think the rest of things are well.

My second oral presentation

This is the second oral presentation.
I did it with my friend Carla and we talked about India.
I belive it's quiet interesting and I hope you think the same!
bye

One day in November, 1982 six teenagers called John, Sam, Pitt, Jenny, Anglia and Beth decided went to pass one night at wood, in a leave house. Pitt's grandfather was the owner of the house.
The teenagers went to Pitt's grandfather to ask for the house, he tolk them that in that house lived spirits but the youngsters didn't belive the man and decided to go to the house.
Saturaday in the afternoon teenagers went to wood. When they arrived in the house they decided make a bonfire to cook the dinner, they cooked meat and they made a salad. At half past eight they started dinner and at half past nine they already finished. When the youngsters finished dinner they went in the house and they decided the bedrooms.
John and Beth were couple and they went in one bedroom, Pitt and Jenny were couple too so they went in another room. In the last bedroom went Sam and Anglia.
The teenagers had been in the sittingroom until twelve o'clock, they explained a lot of fear histories. Aftewards they decided went to bed.
Two hours later Sam heard a noice. Anglia already slept. Sam got up and went up in the corridor. The noise was in the bathroom. He entered in the bathroom and suddenly a child appeared. She was very withe and she had a knife. Sam shouted and she cut his neck.
Anglia heard the shout and she woke up. She saw that Sam wasn't in the room, then she heard the door. She watched at door and saw the child. She was under the door. Anglia was quiet and the child stuck the knife in the stomach. Anglia was died.
The near room was the John and Beth's room. The child entered in the room; John and Bed was sleeping. The child killed John, then Beth woke up and saw the child, she shouted and Pitt woke up. The child killed Beth, then Pitt went out in the corridor and saw the child. He entered in the room and woke up Jenny.
The teenagers jumped for the window and they ran since they arrived in the town.
They explianed the story to police.
Sunday morning the police went in the house. They found the bodies, then they decided to destroy the house.
The dead child disappeared for ever.
