Watching my portfolio I can see a that I have improved my level of English since September 2006 to June 2008. I can see it in connectors and in the vocabulary. I have learned a lot of new vocabulary.
I think that the activities that show us our level of English are the Oral Presentations because with them you can use a lot of connectors and a lot of vocabulary.
The most useful activities are Oral presentations, because with them you learn to express better in English and the internet news, because they help us to know more new vocabulary.
The activities that were not very useful in my opinion are doing the gramar book and dooing the blog, because with them you don't learn to express in Esnglish and I think that it's the most important thing.

Women on high positions like Chscón can't have a maternity leave
This year in Spain general elections had been celebrate. PSOE, led by José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero hsve won it. The president have decided to do a governament team formed by five women and four men. It's the first time in the history that there are more women than men in the governament.
Carme Chacón have ocuped one of tha most important Ministery. The Ministery for Defense.
Nowadays she is pregnant and a lot of people say that women on high positons can't have a maternity leave.
In my opinion she must have the freedom of decided it but she wouldn't have a maternity leave because four months without Minister for Defense are a lot of months.
There is a lot of arguments to defensed it.
Chacón has a high position but she must has the same freedom of decided that the other women.
An argument to defensed that she wouldn't have the maternity leave is that her husbarnd can have the paternity leave.
In conclusion women who have a high position must have the same freedom to decided that other women but she would think in their job because it's very important

Dinosaurus to call our own
Between 65 and 230 millions years ago in Catalunya there was dinosaurus.
Still today, our knowleadge of the dinosaur species that once held sway in the Països Catalans largely remains a mystery. This fact has now prompted the Institut Català de Palentologia to bring out a book "Dinosaurios del Levante Peninsular", that classifies many of the dinosaur species that could once be found in the region.

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.

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!

ACROSTIC
Early in the morning
I'm in my bed
Gateaway of the real world is opening
Hear your father coming
The garden is still ozen
Oh Blai, aren't you up yet?
Come to take a shower, it's time to go to school!
Light harm your eyes
One new day starts
Come on to the adventure
Know the pleasures of the life
Speaking
This is a speaking witch I did with Gerard, and Carla.
We are three universitaries talking about the parties, the friends...
I hope you like it!
