TO SUM UP

Write a short description of these years in the school. (5-8 lines)

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

In think freedom of speech is not what it should be. The censorship is everyday in our life and sometimes we don’t realize. That’s really sad. Is normal to be in a country that, in one way or another, is censuring us because we think, to do, to make, to wear, to manifest…? Nowadays, if you print something, if you wear some color, if you are going somewhere, you can go to jail. So, freedom of speech? I don’t think so. Well, I know if there were an absolute freedom of speech, some people would take advantage of the situation and a lot of people would be affected. Maybe there would be problems. Anyway, I still think that we need more freedom of speech. I think the best way to deal with this delicate topic would be to leave people to do what they want to do. But, always with respect. “With respect and without threats” should be the slogan of freedom of speech. This is just my opinion and I know I can’t change the world. It is only an opinion that shouldn’t be censured. Maybe I don’t think like you. So, this is freedom of speech.

The martian

Roser Bramon

THE MARTIAN

In my opinion, this is a very good movie that everyone should see. I know this could be a typical opinion of this movie but I’m gonna explain why I think so.

At the beginning of the film, it introduces us a very strange situation those who aren’t astronauts: the situation is a storm. But it isn’t a normal storm, is a very strong storm in Mart. So, the first problem or dilemma: what should they do? Well, if the situation wouldn’t have been complicated, it would be easy: approach the mission. But, one of the astronauts stayed behind, he flew to the nothing. They have to leave him.

Well, Mark, this astronaut, is still alive. He is in unknown situation that neither he nor nobody have ever lived. So, what does he have to do now? His colleagues have left him, he haven’t any connection with NASA, he is completely alone and he has to survive.

So, one good thing to see this spectacular movie is for these situations: what would you do if you were in them? I think this movie is worth it for the situations that arise. These make you think about life and they make you re-think or reconsider important things.

An important message that offers us is never give up! Because if somebody in some time of this film has lose it, Mark would never have returned to the Earth.

So, what are you waiting to see it?

WRITING - A RESPONSE

WRITING – A RESPONSE

Dear Editor,

I am writing in response to your article I came across in Tuesday’s Edition of your newspaper. I was disappointed to read this article “Travelling by train a thing of the past”. I am from a Travel train company and I am going to explain why I think this article do not says the truth.

Firstly, there is an obvious advantage of traveling by other methods of transport, like you say in the article, they are not travelling by train. But this does not verify that I share your opinion. When I am talking with other methods of transport, I am not discriminanting the train because I am still thinking it is a good method of transport. So, if you say it is only a thing of the past, that is not the truth.

Next, lots of people use train every day to go work or to study or something. Is a good transport that, if you live in a big city, it is good and you can use it often.

Finally, I know the use of this method is not like before. Before, to make a big trip, always had to use train. Now, I know, the train is not the most used but it doesn’t mean that it is not used at all. If it were only for the past, our company would be ruined. So, I therefore suggest you think carefully before printing such comments.

King regards,

Roser Bramon.

English project - EXCHANGE w/ Guillem Estarriola ~ Roser Bramon

Welcome to Banyoles! This is the first part of the project: visiting Banyoles! DAY 1 - TAKE A LOOK!

How to wash your hair in space?

I'm very surprised because I had never though about it! How the astronauts wash their hair? I had never thiough it could be like in this video: with a water purse. It think it would be more easier if NASA makes a room without gravity for have a shouer because they'll lost less time! But is too a good option and very curious how do they really do it. So, enjoy the video!

My trip to Italy!

MY TRIP TO ITALY

Hello everyone!

Two weeks ago, we went to Italy with the class and now I’m going to explain our trip to Italy.

FIRST DAY

Our trip started the Monday 5. We met at school at 3 am! Too early for us! And we went by bus to Barcelona. At 6.25 our plane was flying to Italy! We landed in Bergman. There, we took a bus to Bergman. We visit Bergman and we ate our first Italian pizza! It was delicious! To finish the day, we took another bus and we went to Verona.

SECOND DAY

The second day, we took a train at 8:21 am and we went to Venice. There, we visit Sant Marc’s square, the Campanile… At 4 pm we took the Vaporeto, fabulous views were seen! At the end, we returned to Verona.

THIRD DAY

Just start the third day, we took another train. This time, but, we went to Florence. We did a change of train in Bologna. We arrived so late to Florence. So, the third day we only visit the city.

FOURTH DAY

In the fourth day we stayed all the day in Florence. There, we visited Il Duomo, Ufizzi’s Gallery, The Florence Academy of Art… A very artistic day! I loved it!

FIFTH DAY

Our trip was finalizing. We are all really sad and tired. On this last day, we go by bus to Luca: a very beautiful little town. There, we had free time and we spend all the morning going shopping. We took another bus and we went to our last destination: Pisa. There we spend all the afternoon going shopping too! We went early to the airport. Our plane arrived in Barcelona at 00:15 am. Finally, we took the last bus to get home, sweet home.

This is the end of our fantastic trip!
