I am writing in response to an article I came across on Thursday's edition of the local news. I was disappointed to read the article because we are getting worse since the Industrial Revolution.
Firstly, I know for decades that the Industrial Revolution has solves a lot of problems that were present before, like the communication between different places has become more effective.
When the steam machine was used, it made a lot of changes in every job and the people of that moment. Now, people don't have to work all day and also they don't get really tired than before.
Next, Industrial Revolution was all about oil and now we are using it every day. The oil is what is changing our planet. But the weather it is not the only thing is changing. It is changing the life of different plants and animals, because they are used to the weather that we used to have. So, oil is the problem.
Finally, in other articles I read that oil is going to finish soon, aproximately, in 2050. So, I think it is time to change our daily routine to change our world if we don't want to get worse.
Month 1:
I've just joined the Horse Weekend, which one is a group of teenagers that spend the whole weekend, once a month, in horse riding center and are also looking for the animals in the farm. I wished I had heard about this before, it's amazing! The people are really friendly and it seems to be like a family. My fist weekend I spent cleaning all the stables, it was really tiring but it was worth it, because I was all the time with the animals.
Month 2:
This month we went to do a ride. It was all day going out with my new friends and our horses in the forest. We started doing a little walk in the town but then we went into the forest. We had lunch in there, with a little food we brought. The experience really helped us because we got the chance to get to know each other more, an now I'm feeling more comfortable with them.
Month 3:
This weekend some kids came and we taught them all the horse riding methods to good at this sport. They were so excited about everything so that we also watched a little film about horses and they calm down immediately. I believe that if you teach kids what's about and then you show them in real life, it'd be more succeesful.
I think I improved my English through these last years by watching a lot of TV series in American English. I also read a lot of posts on the social media from different magazines, like seventeen or teen vogue (all for teenagers), of from famous people; I listen to music but I understand it too, it's a really fun way to learn more English every day.
Travelling a lot helped me to improve my English too. I've always looked up to my cousins and my brother, they are fantastic English students and when I was younger I wanted to be like them, so while we were travelling I was always listening to their conversations with other people. The last few years, I travelled with my parents and they don't speak English so I had to talk to foreign people to know everything of the different places.
Hi everyone! It's Núria. So now I'm going to explain to you about my trip to Italy that we did a few weeks ago. We all met at 5.15a.m. at school so I woke up at 4 o'clock. We took the bus to the Barcelona airport, we were a little bit late because there were so many people on the road, but we made it on time. We took the flight and we were in Milan! There, we took another bus and we went straght to Llac di Garda, Sirmione. There we had lunch, (our first pizza in Italy!) and we visited the whole city. Then we went to Verona, we left our luggage in our rooms and we visited the Arena, Romeo and Juliet's place, and we went for dinner to our restaurant. The next day, we took the train to go to Venice. We walked through the entire city until we arrive to the Piazza di San Marco. There we entered to the Duomo (Cathedral), it was really big and beautiful! Before lunch, we went to a Burano's glass Museum. We had lunch all together, but then we made two groups. My group went shopping and also we had the chance to go to the San Marco's Campanile. You could see Venice from the air! On Wednesday, we didn't do many things. We took our luggage because we were moving to Florence. We took two trains until we arrived. Our hotel was amazing, it was in the center of Florence, and from our room we could see the Duomo! We went lunch and we went for a walk around the city. Then we had some free time, but we were so tired that we stayed in the hotel. The following day, we had to wake up really early because at 9a.m. we were going to visit the museum Ufizzi. We spend half of the morning there, but then we went to climb the Cúpula of Santa Maria del Fiore. After lunch, we went to the Accademia, we only went there to watch the David of Michelangelo, because it's the main sculpture. After that, we went to the Baptistery but we didn't make it to see the Duomo. The main part of our class went to climb the Campanile, it was exhausting! After, all the class went to have some ice cream, it was delicious! Then we had some free time, with my friends, we went to the hotel because we were too tired to go shopping. After dinner, some of us took a last walk around Florence because it was our last night there. The following morning, we woke up a little bit late compared to the other days. We had breakfast and we took the bus to go the Florence's viewpoint. There we took some photos and we went to Lucca. In Lucca, we had a walk to the square, then we had some free time and Maria and I went shopping. We had lunch in Pisa, and then we visited the Duomo and the Baptistery, finally we took some photos and we went tto the airport to return to Catalonia.

What’s
a good friend for me:
A
good friend for me is someone who’s truthful enough to tell you
that you’ve got chocolate in all your face, he/she is supportive
when you feel down, dependable, responsible and serious when you
need them to be and a little bit crazy, and finally dedicated to your
friendship.
One
time that I met a new friend:
We
were in a summer camp in Mieres and we were playing an English game.
After that, the Camp monitors told us what we were going to do. They
separated us in 4 groups and I was alone, I didn’t know anyone.
Then a girl walked to me, and she asked me if I was 13 years old, she
was a little insecure at the beginning, but finally she became a very
dependable friend.
I am writing to complain
about the product I bought last week in your website. First of all, I
bought a CD with a hole album of modern music, in your website says
that the purchase will go with a protective box that would keep save
the product during the journey, and when I recieved there wasn't any
box. Unfourtunately, this description is wrong so it'd be better that
you change that in your web.
When I recieved the CD I
was really excited for having it but, because of the no-protective
box, the CD was damaged and I couldn't listen to any song because
there weren't any songs in the CD. Furthermore, I was really shocked
about the fact that there wasn't any MP3 player that I bought with
the CD.
I've always been really
impresed about your store and with your products because your company
is the most famous in the world! I hope that it has been a mistake. I
have already paid the purchase so I hope that you give me a full
refund.
I look forward to hearing
from you in a near future
How
are you? What have you been doing since I saw you last? I’m doing
great; some months ago I went into a volunteer program.
I
decided to go to Lourdes this year but I was thinking about it a
couple of years ago. Well, I’m glad that I made it because it was
really fun and magical.
We went there only five days, but we were like two thousands of
people in there! It was only for the Girona Hospitality. We went
there with the old people that are feeling alone. Basically, we
needed to talk and be with them to make them enjoy the journey.
Has
that ever happened to you? I mean, being in an activity that make you
feel more comfortable and better with yourself? It never happened to
me before and I enjoy most of time since then.
Well,
I’ve got to go now.
See
you

MY LAST SUMMER
Hi, now I'm going to talk about my
last summer. First of all, I'm talking about Lourdes; then about my
days in Banyoles and finally about my journey around Europe.
Some days after finishing the school
classes, I went to Lourdes for five days with my friends with Girona
Hospitality. We needed to take the “sick” people around the city,
talking to them and organize some activities.
In July, I stayed in Banyoles resting
after we came back from Lourdes. For two weeks, my friend, Maria, and
I tried to go kayaking in the lake with the Club. It was so tiring
but so funny because there was people training there too. I also met
some friends during that month and with my family we went to the
beach.
In August my parents and I rent a
little van and we went travelling around Europe for a whole week. We
went through France, Liechenstein, Switzerland, Austria and Germany,
and we turned back to Italy. My favourite places were Austria,
Germany and North-Italy because they were peaceful and beautiful
places with a lot of mountains and lakes.
The rest of the summer I stayed in
Banyoles meeting my friends and my family.
In every way, it was a great summer.
My classmates: Joan Rigau: He went to Lourdes twice, first with Girona Hospitality and the second one was with an international movement. Elisenda: She went to an exchange program in USA for one month and she stayed there with a Mexican family. Joan Cagigós: He went to Hawaii in middle September. He went there by plane going from Barcelona to Frankfurt and then to Hawaii. Núria Jaén: She went to a premonitor school in Medinyà the next Monday after school, she went there every day of the week. Laia: In August she spent two weeks in Palamós going to the beach and walking in the afternoon with her family. Elisabet: She went to Andorra to celebrate her birthday because she had never been there before. Maria Serra: She went to Asturias for the Canoing Spain Championship and in September she went to Belgium to do canoing. My Oral Presentation:
Observation:
In my Oral Presentation, I didn't look to much at the audience, I looked almost all the time to the walls to keep remembering everything. I had a little paper in the table but I didn't read in it, I just had a few looks. I organized the few ideas I had chronologically, to match them I tried to use some markers to make my presentation more clear. I check the grammar verbs to make sense for what I was talking about. I also check in the diccionary for new words and how to pronounse them, but it was hard to do it.
