1- The First Mail.

Hello Gemma!

I’m Eudald Sanllehí Cortada and I was born on February 4, 1991. I study and live in Castelló d’Empúries. Surely I will study administration and organization of company in Barcelona or Girona. My level of English isn’t very high.

I have many hobbies but the best hobby for me is the sport in general. I watch many events of football, basketball, tennis, handball and more of others sports on TV. I like almost all the sports. But the sports aren’t only my hobbies, also are hobbies play the playstation or the computer and also I like the music. I play music with my contrabass on cobla Empordanesa. But I like different music for listen as ACDC and Kiss, those are the two best groups of heavy rock in my opinion, also I like other types of music as Lou Reed, and others. In the out-of-school hours I practice handball with some friends and play the contrabass in the orquestra, cobla or with my teacher in the music school of Castelló d’Empúries. Also I like eat food, my favorite food is pasta, pizza and hamburgers. I like a lot the animals and I’ have two cats and two aquariums of 120l and 240l. One of my cat isn’t normal because it weights ten kilos but is very quiet and the other cat is very nervous and always run and jump into the house. Into the aquariums I have natural plants and different types of fishes as Discus, Neon or Oscars.

My life is very simple, only go to school at eight o’clock, and when I arrive at my house y do homework, study and after to study I like playing my hobbies. And I expect to approve the subject of English this year.

2- Opinion Essay and Discussion Essay

Humour: Is Humour necessary to survive?

I think that no; the humour isn’t necessary to survive. We can live in the world without humour. The pure humour is the laughing and I believe that isn’t necessary the laughing for live.

I think that the humour isn’t necessary to survive but I believe that if in your life that is humour you live better. A lot of people haven’t humour in their life and they live well, but they can live better with humour. The humour helps to lead the life of today that is much stressed. Also is beneficiary because you can be connected with others persons more better if in your life there is humour, if there isn’t humour in your life and is sad, you can have a problems for connect.

In conclusion, I think that the humour isn’t necessary for live but if in your life there is humour you live better.


Computers have made the world a better place.

Nowadays is impossible find one person without computer, nowadays the computers have become indispensable instruments for live. The majority of people have a computer but still there are people as who lives in the rural houses that haven’t computers. The uses of computers have advantages and disadvantages:

On the one hand there are many reasons why computers have made a better place and easier world. You can communicate with other people across the computers more easily and instantly. Also the computers have an advantage that can save more information and if you connect the internet to the computer these advantages increase.

On the other hand, there are many reasons why computer haven’t made a better place as for example more information that appear in the internet is false, a lot of people get hooked to computer and a lot of children play the computer or game consoles a lot of time and don’t come out to play with his friends on the street.

In conclusion, the computers have made an easier world and for more people a better place but for other persons haven’t made a better place.

Armstrong plans Australian and Tour of France return

The seven Tour de France winners Lance Armstrong will make his much-anticipated return to competitive cycling in the Tour of Australia in January. A lot of people comments that Armstrong join with Astana team, with Alberto Contador, Levi Lepheimer and others cycling stars. Astana suffered two high-profile doping scandals in 2007 and this Armstrong decision can be the return at maximum level of cycling for Astana. In the next Tour Lance has a danger opponent, Contador and I don’t believe that Armstrong can win.

Armstrong is and will be the best professional cycling man of the history. Because he wins seven Tours of France and this year maybe he will win the eight Tour.

LITERAL TRANSCRIPTION:


The Job in 19th century:

The most important thing in the 19th century was the development of the industrial revolution that began in the 18th century in Great Britain; Later expanded to others countries as France, Germany and others.
In the 19th century the people who lived in the rural houses worked in the farm and in the field, and the people who lived in the cities worked in the factories.
The most important factories in the 19th century in Great Britain were the textile an iron that was situated in the cities.
In the film Pride and Prejudice you can see as the family Bennet lived in the rural house and have a little farm next to the house.
In the photos you can see a factory and a work in the field.

In the 19th century education had to be played only the rich people could go to school and the others weren’t able to go school.
The children of rich families had education because their parents could pay the private teachers and the children of poor families hadn’t education because their parents couldn’t pay the private teachers and in the 19th century there weren’t public schools.
From 1899 the children were required to go to school until they have twelwe years old.


In the 19th century there were two types of diet; the diet of the poor people and the rich people diet. The poor people only could eat potatoes, bread, butter, eggs and bacon, and the rich people they could eat all that they wanted.
Until the finally of 19th century the famous fish and chips didn’t exist, that means that the family Bennet didn’t eat the fish and chips.

And to finally:

In the 19th century Great Britain was an Oligarchy and in the society there were two types of person the pours and the rich people.
The poor people were the majority, were the worker class and couldn’t vote. And the rich people were the minority but had a power of Oligarchy and could vote.

7- Final evaluation

Yes, like for example that now I write much better than the past September, without so many mistakes and with great more fluency thanks the portfolio and the blog.
In my opinion the activity which best shows my level of English is the oral presentation.
I believe that are the orals and some activty of writing, the first because you learn to explain and speaking and the second because you can better your level of writing.
All of activities has been good for learn Englis, in my opinion, some more and some less.
The best enjoy activities, I believe that has been the dialogues and acrostics and would like to do again next year the dialogues.

ACROSTIC

My impression about

5- Exam opynion essay

Too much importance is given to talking exams at school. Do you agree?

Normally, schools in the all the world, give more importance to exams than to evaloating students general progres. Im my opinion, this schools in general and also my school give more importance exams.

The exams take a lot of time of study, that we can do other thihng more important in our lives. But on the other hand, I believe that in the exams we learnt a lot and the we learn some things that only with practice we cannot.
For example the English practice is very important for talk, but if we don't study the grammatical English, we will make mistakes when we talk. In my school for example some teacher give more importance to exams like the philosophy teacher or the teacher of spanish, but other teacher like english don't give more importance to exms and give more importance and work.

In conclusion, the exams are very effective for learning but no for this the schools and some teacher had given more importance to exams.

2- Opinion essay

We’re almost learnt to respect our world?


The question is if we preserve the world, the planet like it we would have to preserve, if we go towards good way or not. Some persons can say that we do not go towards good way and others that yes.
The persons who defend that yes that we go for good way, they say that everything what is said of the global warming is a lie and that it is a consequence of the variations that has the planet during his history, which begins another cycle and that the humans don’t have the guilt.
The persons who defend that no that we go for good way, they say that the global warming is an increase of the temperature of the planet and that the humans are the principal guilts. Or we stop of do bad things for the world or we suffer in the future the consequence that won’t be pleasant.
No, in my opinion still we haven’t learned to concern our world, and this is demonstrates for Global Warming and others things how the increase of the temperature of the planet our dissolution of the glass in the north and the south pools... In my opinion all is blame of the humans, because always we have been bad things for the maintenance ours world how for example: the enormous quantity of residues that we throw to the sea or to the air, all the trees that we cut...

The Head Teacher

Castelló d’Empúries


Dear Lluïsa Pintor

I am writing to tell you advantages and inconvenient, in my opinion, of our institute. And I tell you which are things can improve.

I believe that you would be interested to know which the opinion of students is that there are a lot of things for improve. Between lot things, the opinion of students is that the dinner has been better than now, because now the dinner is very bad according to opinion of students. They say that should engage one chef. Others complaints that the students made official to teacher are: We have many hours to school and would like reduce. Also we believe that have too many homework and we ask that the teachers reduce the quantity of homework.
Now, I explain things that the students were to agree. We are agreeing that if in last hour of day there isn’t the teacher, we can go out. Also those in hour of break we can go out to the school and can go to eat at the bar.
More generally in my opinion, I believe that the four types of “batxillerat” are too many generals and I believe that should be more specifics for face one university career.

I hope be me explain good and I hope that you solve some complaint that don’t like me and neither the students of I.E.S. Castelló d’Empúries institute.
Thanks you for read my letter director.

Yours faithfully.

12- Description.

Samuel Eto'o:

Samuel Eto’o is football player from Cameron and he plays in Football Club Barcelona. He’s a pretty good player, one of the best in the world. He’s dark-skinned, he’s greenish eyes and very short hair. Also he’s very fast and he’s body is athletic.

Samuel Eto’o has a lion look, he run behind all of balls with aggressiveness; he’s a winner, so he’s really competitive. On the other hand, he’s very sociable, but when he annoy we can look his bad temper. In TV or radio interviews, for example, he appears to be quiet calm and very friendly.

Some football players are particularly big-headed and not at all friendly, but Samuel Eto’o‘s most friendly than a lot of this football players. In my opinion Eto’o is the best striker in the national Spanish league.
