Christmas

Last Christmas I was in my grandmother's village spending my holidays there. Those days were very cold, and it was snowing every day. In the evening, my friends and I played with the snow. It was very funny. One night, we were riding our bikes on the ice when one of us fell. He broke a leg. Inmediately, we phoned the ambulances and they came. We won't play with the ice anymore.

The African bush elephant

The African bush elephant is one of the 10th most endangered animals in the world. That's because there are many mammals, like lions or crocodiles, that attack the small elephants. Humans are the elephant's major predator. They hunt them.

There are two different species of this animal. It's herbivourious, it eats plants. It eats a lot, because it's very big, it normally reaches between six or seven metres long, and weighs between 6000 to 9000 kg. This intelligent animal is the base of many human experiments about animal behaviour.

These elephants are endangered basically because people hunt them for their meat, skin, bones and tusks. Elephant trophy hunting increased in the 19th and 20th centuries. People hunted millions of elephants. It continues today. Scientists estimated that, if no protective measures were taken, the wild elephant would be extinct by 1995.

How can we protect this animal? It's very easy. These elephants are very important. What we need to do to protect them is stop hunting at all, and then there would be more elephants. It's easy to do. Why don't we do it? Let's start it!

Reflection 2009-2010

Hello, I'm Joan Sáez. I will talk about the most interesting activities of my blog I have done. It's the oral presentation. Not like as Christmas traditions or the recipe, I have found the oral presentation funny because it's very difficult to talk about something in front of a class. My partner was Sergi Torrabadella. We met two days before the oral presentation and we did all the work, but we couldn't learn all we had to talk about. So the day of the oral presentation we were so nervous. We tried to look at our audience and to use markers.
Finally, we found we did it quite well. If I was the teacher, I would put an eight or nine, because the Power-Point was well-designed and we pronounced quite well and we used rich vocabulary. In this year I have improved my vocabulary and listening. I found some activities boring, like "Learning about others experiences in the library" or Christmas activities.
In conclusion, I think my English has improved this year.

My childhood memories

I had been living in a farm, a big farm, with lots of fields and some hectares of wood until my nearly eight birthday. I remember me, alone, with no brothers, nobody who played with, and I had to hear my parents arguing. One day, my mum told me crying that my parents wouldn't live together anymore. I was too small to understand that fact. So my life completely changed. Then, my mum and me went to live in Avià, but three years later we bought a house in Berga. My mum found a boyfriend, but my father had been alone lots of years. He finally found a girlfriend who has a little child. To sum up, my childhood hasn't been very interesting, the most important facts for me have been the death of my dog and the divorce of my parents.

My favourite song

My favourite song is called In the end. It’s a song from the group Linkin Park. This group is from California. It was formed in 1996. It’s one of the most popular bands in all over the world. Linkin Park plays different types of music, like rap, rock or metal. In the end is not the most famous song of this group, although it has millions of visits. Lots of people know this song even though not loving Linkin Park. The song is about the personal failure. It is also based in the time, that it goes quickly and the life is short.

I love this song because I love rap and the instrumental is really good. When I listen to it, I feel motivated, I want to go out and do some things like riding my bike, not to waste my time. I usually listen to it on Saturday’s night when I’m chatting on my computer. I think it’s perfect; it hasn’t got any negative aspect in the lyrics. I wouldn’t change anything of it, but it could be longer than it is.

The videoclip is really good and it’s perfectly connected to the lyrics. In it, the group is in an strange dimension, where plants grow quickly and the world changes from a desert to a jungle.

In conclusion, In the end is a really good and motivating song, perfectly to listen to it when you go out to do sport!

PREDICTIONS

Hello, I’m Joan. I imagine me in 20 years. I’ll be tall, strong and really fast. I’ll have my hair cut and I’ll have a little beard. I won’t be fat. I’ll wear glasses.

My future home will be a small flat in Barcelona. My friends will be my neighbours. I won’t have any grandparents, only my dad and mum living far from me.

I’ll study computer science, and in 20 years, I’ll be a hacker and expert in computers. I’ll work in a small company. Although, I’ll earn a lot of money. I’ll maybe buy a car and a new house. The company won’t need my help every day, so I’ll sleep a lot.

I‘ll have a lot of free time, so I’ll practise tennis, downhill, BMX and skate every week. Of course, I won’t smoke.
