The Music

For me, music is a system of relaxation and it is for this reason I listen to it every day, I specially like music "dance music" and "house music". That's why I like going to discos because they play this kind of music. Besides I tjink people who ike music are influenced by it their life, the way they dress... I also belive that during the stages of your life ou like different styles of music, now I like this music, but maybe in a year my tastes will change. The song that I have chosen is an example of music "House" Cristian Marchi. These types of musi are ongs that the same verse of the same song, all mixe with electronic music.

Carnival

Carnival is a festival celebrated in February, but this festival is celebrated differentely from the others, you should dress up and go around your village with floats and then there is a party. There is a lot of competitiveness among the group taking part because the municipalities give award. So every year we. So every year we dress, but this year my friends and I dressed as "painters". You usualy typically start preparing for the costume and float at the end of the year, to everything prepared, but we did it a week before 13 of February and we didn't have time to make a float and the costume wasn't very good. On Friday we went to the Carnival of Roses, this is where there are more people and therefore we had a very good time, because we didn't care about the costume. The next day we went to St Pere which was also good but there were very few people campared to the people of Roses. The follow times our village carnival, Castelló d'Empúries, whic was held in a new hall multipurpose room. In this carnival there were a lot of people and I would say that is was the best of three. Next year we will have organize better, and we must start preparing the costume and float earlier to make it better than this year in addiction some of my friens will already have a driving license and will be able t drive the float.

New technologies

Internet, mobile phones, consoles, MP3 players, etc... There are new technologies that affect our lives, the lives of teenagers. For us them the new technologies are like radio the other people. Moreover we use every day, to communicate with friends to search information, to download music for ourselves... How would our life be without the new technologies? I cannot imagine how life would be without such divices, but maybe without these devices, our life would change a lot because, for example what young people would do in their free time without the computer or being unable to listen to music. And besides, we have changed a lot compared to what we did years ago. I also think it is difficult to imagine how these technologies will be in few years time because these technologies evolve very quickly and soon new and old are the others ones will appear to replace the old ones.

My oral presentation

I liked my oral presentation, I think it was original because I used power point when I spoke about the gastronomy, sport and the important places of Australia. Moreover this time I did my presentation with my friends Igansi and Christian, for this reason I was more relaxed. However, in spite of doing it with them, I was still a little nervous.

The structure of my power point was very good, because there weren’t many words so the context was nice, and I use photos.

In part from the power point I also helped me with a summary

While I was speaking the pupils were listening to me, for thus reason I was more relaxed and I tooled at the class from time to time.

I didn’t use connectors very much and I used my hands a little bit to express myself.

In my opinion I think that the oral presentation went quite well, together with my friends. It lasted the time that was necessary, 15 minutes, 5 minutes each person.

I think that we deserve at last a 6,5.

Back to school

Then piece of ESO (compulsory secondary education). In ESO there are main subjects and optional subjects, which vary between schools.

- Batxillerat is two-years between the ages of 16 and 18 and has four subject areas.

- FP (medium grade) is for students who have a lower level.

In my opinion this article is very interesting because there are a lot of foreign people living here who do not know about ESO, Batxillerat and FP.

This piece of new helps to inform them about the different possibilities, this affects me because now I am studying 1rst Batxillerat and I am not sure what I want to study it affects my friends in the same way as me.
