Dear Ms Lluis Pinto.

- I’m writing to you about the new timetable for next year. Next year the schools will start a week earlier, but in February we will have a week’s holiday.
- Having said that I agree with this new timetable because we have a lot of exams and it is very stressing, so a week’s holiday is good. It is also a good idea to start a week earlier because everybody is tired of the summer.
- The only thing I disagree with is that I only have one more year at school. So it will not affect me very much. It should have been changed before.
- I hope you will be interested to know my opinion about this subject.
Yours sincerely

Hy my names is Xavi, I’m 16 yers old and i study in Ies Castelló d’Empúries. Now I’m going talk about sport, in particular about snowboarding. This sport is practised only winter in the mountains. Compared to skiing it is a more recent sport.

First I will you a little about the history of this sport. The fisrt snowboard was invented by Sherman Poppen in 1965 and was called a Snufer. In 2005 there were about 6,6 millon of people who was practised snowboarding. However in 2008 this number went down because of poor weather.

Snowboard wich like a wide ski with the ability to glide an snow, snowboard generally requiers extra equipment. These type of boards are usually used by people at ski hill resorts for free time, etertaiment and competitive purposes in the activity called snow.

I like going snowboarding with my friends very mutch. We have gone on several trips with friends, but the best it was the trip to Andorra which was last year.

This was 2 fantastic days. We left on Saturday at 6 in the moorning from Castelló d’Empúries and we arrived at 11, as soon as we arrived we skied until the take afternoon. In the evening we went to the youth hotel, we diner and we talked about our day. Then we went to bed early.

The next day we got up early and we skiied all the mooring. At lunch time, we had to down to Andorra. After at about 3, we went back to the ski shops, until 5 o’clock.When we waited for the bus to go back home.

In conclusion it is my favorite sport.

My conclusion:

My oral presentation was regular because: I used some resources, the power point and images. I think that my resources were attractive for the topic. I used the summary for support. I didn’t look at class while i was speaking. And I sometimes looked at my summary. I didn’t use gestures very much. But my structure was good. My ideas were well organized. I din’t use martures for my idea.

In content I introduced some new information, it was detailed and clear, I used pictures some of the information, I got from internet and the best were my own idea, because I practise this sport.

The lenguage of my presentation was good, It contained a lot of grammar. My vocabulary was normal, I used some sentence linkers, why,and,but,also,however...

And I used a few pase fillers.

My pronunciation was normal because I felt very nervious. I didn’t look up words in the dicctionary and I was a little slow.

The time of my presentation was 3:20 an I think deserve a 5’50-6.

This song is an example of the best dance music. It was compused by david Guetta and Akon. For me the music is a system for relaxing. And I like the music especially dance music. It is a different kind of music.

Once upon a time there was a very pretty girl called little red ridding hood.
Once day her mother asked her, to take somecakes to her grandmother. Her grandmother lived on the other side of the forest.
The girl had to cross the forest to get to her grandomother's hause. when she was going there she met the woolf. he asked her where she was going and ahe told him she was going to visit her grandmother and that it wasn't very far. Riding hood put her basker on the grass and picked some flowers mean while the woolf went to her gradmother's hause. he knocked at the dor and gradmother's opened the door thinking that it was red riding hood. the wolf ate gradmother and he put on the gradmother's pink cap. he gat into bed and his eyes. Then the OK. Little girl arrives immediatly the little girl. Saw that her granmother had changed.


- She said big eyes you have got?
-They are to see you better.
-What big eyes you have got?
-they are to her you better.
-What big teeth you have got?
-They are to eat you better.
When the little girl heard she run all over the hause. Meanwhile the grandmothe arrived, from hunting he killed the wolf with a shot.
The gradfather took the gradmother out of the woolf. the family cooked the woolf and they had him for dinner.
They could live happily ever after.

This picture shaws the day when we arrived we were at in beach. the photo is very happy and colourful. In this there is me and my friends.
That day was very fantastic because it was very sunny.
We were subathing.

MEET THE PARENTS

This film is a very funny comedy, take part Robert de Niro and Ben Stiller, everything happens when Greg and Pam, his gilfrend, go to visit her parents because her sister is getting married.

Pam's father is very special, because he is an ex CIA agent and he is very unfriendly forward Greg.

In spite of this, Greg fights for his married and finally at end of the film they get engaged to be married. They go by plane and the flight company lose his luggage, so Greg doesn't have any clothes when he arrives at her father's hause, her father thinks that amokes mariguana. At night they prepare a dinner and Greg opens the shampagne, he breaks the urn wih the grandmother's ashes inside. He lefts the cat escape and he gets another cat and paints the tail. So that the father thinks it is his cat.

He also causes a fire in the garden of the hause.

After all this Greg decides to leave. He goes to the airport and gets on plane, but Pam's father the plane. They talk together and they become friends, and Greg goes back to Pam.

It is my favorite film.

WHEN EVER i GO OUT WITH LOCAL FRIENDS, NO ONE SEEMS TO TIP AND I FIND THIS HARD O GET USED TO. WHAT IS THE CAMMON PRACTICE HERE WHEN IT COMES TO TIPPING?

Many foreigners find it difficult to adjust to the local nation on tipping. Practices very from nation to nation, North Americans generally leave the most for the different services, while tha sapnish. Show their desinterest in the custom.

Generally spaking, restaurants, hotels and cafés add service chorge of 15% along with the 7% IVA to their pricess, spanairds normally leave a few coins, however, there are some exceptions: tips are often left in more important establiments. Large trips are consideral in poor taste, but one or two euros, may help to guarantee a good table the next time arround.

At Christmas parents of wine, cava ar Christmas hampers are often given.

To be sure of when and how to tip, it's generally best to ask your Catalan and spanish friends and neighbours about thei habits.
