We have practically learnt to respect our world

I don’t agree with this idea that we have practically learnt to respect our world because I think that people continue to do what they want.
It is clear that people contaminate a lot and unfortunately they don’t do anything to help the world furthermore I think that people should recycle more, use transport that doesn’t contaminate…
I also believe that it seems that they don’t realize what is happening and they don’t do anything to solve this problem. Moreover I think they could do more things to save the world.
In conclusion, I would say that people have to think more and save the world from contamination and everything that is happening nowadays.

La pujada

Casi ho veig
El somni que estic somiant però
Hi ha una veu dins el meu cap diguent
Mai hi arribaràs
Cada pas que faig
Cada moviment que faig sent
Perduda sense direcció
La meva fe tremola però jo
Haig de continuar intentant
Haig de mantenir el meu cap alt

Sempre hi haurà una altra muntanya
Sempre voldré fer moure
Sempre será una batalla cap amunt
A vegades m’hauré de perdre
No és l’ho ràpid que jo arribi
No és el que m’espera a l’altre costat
És la pujada

Els problemes que tinc
Les oportunitats que estic fent
A vegades hem fan caure però
No jo no estic trencant
Potser no ho sé
Però això són els moments que
Jo m’enredortaré més yeah
Haig de continuar
I jo,
Jo tinc que ser forta
Haig de continuar,
Causa

Sempre hi haurà una altra muntanya
Sempre voldré fer moure
Sempre serà una batalla cap amunt
A vegades m’hauré de perdre
No és l’ho ràpid que jo arribi
No és el que m’espera a l’altre costat
És la pujada

Sempre hi haurà una altra muntanya
Sempre voldré fer moure
Sempre serà una batalla cap amunt
A vegades m’hauré de perdre
No és l’ho ràpid que jo arribi
No és el que m’espera a l’altre costat
És la pujada

Continua movent
Continua pujant
Mantenir la fe baby
És sobre
És sobre
La pujada
Mantenir la fe
Mantenir la fe
Whoaaa Ohwaoooh

Final evaluation

· Observing your portfolio, can you see an improvement on your level of English since September 2008? Where, for example?

I think that I have improved because we worked on the compositions a lot and we wrote a lot which is a good way to learn.
I think that I improved more during the second term.

· Which activity best shows your level of English?

I think that the activity which best shows my level are the blogs and the portfolios because I write there and it shows my English level.

· Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why?

I think that the most useful activity were the three news items because it was difficult to choose a news items because sometimes it was a very difficult item and difficult to understand but I have always been able to do them.
Other very useful activities are the blog and the portfolio.

· Which activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not?

In my opinion I think all the activities were useful but the one which was the least useful was watching the film, because it was with Spanish subtitles.

· Which activities did you enjoy doing and would like to do again next year?

I think that the best activity was the Aula d’Idiomes activity because you can do a lot of things there.

Observation of the 3rd oral presentation

I think that this presentation is the worst presentation of the three because it was a subject that I didn’t dominate and there was a new vocabulary very difficult.
For me the best presentation was the first one because I know the topic well and I liked the subject a lot.
However I think that I have improved my pronunciation.

AIDS

What is the illness?
The AIDS is an infectious disease produced by a virus, named VIH.

First, coetaneous injuries appear as loss of weight or diarrhea.
If the disease advances the first infections start appearing: pneumonias for slightly frequent, chronic diarrhea and major loss of weight …
If they diminish moreover the defenses the infectious problems become increasingly difficult to control and the patient begins to suffer more than one infection simultaneously.
The death comes for one of these infections or for the appearance of tumours. Other times what produces the death is an extreme malnutrition and diarrheas impossible to treat.

What can we do to prevent the illness?
