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!

Speaking first (1)

What are the advantages for the people of spending their free time in these ways?

·         The people in the third photograph are not doing any exercise and no much excited, they are a little bit lazy.

·         The advantage of the first photograph is that they are outdoors and they are doing exercise.

·         The advantage of the second photograph is that they are doing exercise and they are more concentrated.

·         The advantage of the third photograph is that they are chill out.

·         The advantage of the fourth photograph is that they are crowded, energetic and having fun.

A bad experience in a shop

Saturday 21th October 

Dear Sir/Madam,  

I am writing to complain about a bad experience in your shop. This happened last Monday, 16th of October in your shop in Banyoles. 

When we came to your shop we just wanted to buy a snack. We did not have more than 1€. So, we were looking for a bargain. We were absolutely brilliant because we found it! We just wanted to buy kites. This bid just cost 0,75€. This were the price that appeared in the advert. So: what is the problem? Then, here it comes: We had to do a long store queue, plenty of people, and we did not have time. But, the worst part is not. When we finally arrived to the cashier, the employee said that it cost 1,19€. Whaat?? The price advertised was 0,75! 

Furthermore, the employee was really bitter and not enough dedicated. Simply, we  want to refund the purchase. We were shocked. We were really tired and extremely sad because we had lost our free time with a rude person.  

Until now, I have always been really impressed with your company and associated your products with quality and good taste. I would be grateful if you could notify the woman of her misconduct. Certainly it would be good to check the price posters. And maybe also make a store queue for people who want to buy a single product. I look forward to receiving it in the very near future. 

Yours faithful, 

Roser Bramon 

Informal email

Hi Emma!

How are you? What have you been doing since we last met?

I've been getting involved in drama class. And I'm really happy!

I decide to go along to his because I love theatre. So, why not?

I’ve met lots of friends and I think it will be a good experience to make a personal improvement. I mean, I’ve read a lot of articles that say that “theatre makes an effort to make the most of you”.

Has that ever happened to you? I mean, have you ever been something enthusiastical?

Anyway, we could meet one day. Keep in touch!

Bye for now,

Oral presentation about my last summer

Catalan referendum: what's happening?

What shocked me?

Sincerely, a lot of things surprised me: in a bad way and too in a good way. 

I didn't think really that the government could treat the people that way: old people, young children, teens, adults... All kinds of people suffered aggregation. There was no respect. Is this normal? 

The videos frighten me. And some made me rage and cry. I'm really defrauded, really, I can't belive it. It seems like we are in the past. Have we returned to the past?

Luckily, there are good things. Yesterday we have prove that we are people of peace and 
peaceful. We demonstrated united and moderation. And I'm really proud of that.



What I don't agree with is in the way in witch  "Guardia Civil" treated people and also the big manipulation of what really happened.  Only remember:

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

What is the summary sentence for me?

"Violence is not solution"

"Union makes the force"

"Democracy is a right"

"The media lie"

My last summer

Hi!

My name is Roser and I'm going to talk about my last summer. This summer has been a good and busy summer and it gone so fast!

First, I'm going to talk about my trip to Northern Spain and Portugal, then I'm going to explain my London trip and finally my ordinary summer days.


Let's go! The holidays began in June, and just the following week I did my first trip. I went to Northern Spain and Portugal with my family. I really like that place! Galicia, Santiago de Compostela, la Rioja, Oporto... looks like here! They are familiar places and really nice! The worst part of this adventure was the trip path. We went by car and it's 14 hours!!!


After that, July started. I really love July because it is my birthday! During this month, I've done another trip! In the second journey we travelled to London. I was really excited because I had never been there. London is a diferent and lovely place. I love it! I love the people, places, bars and travel by metro! There I learnt a lot of English!


Then, Agoust arrived. These were a few quiet days. I didn't make another trip. These days I met friends, I went to the beach in Palamós and Platja d'Aro and I reviewed a bit of Maths and French...


In conclusion, this vacations have been unexpected, fantastic and with a lot of nice surprises, travels and new friends!

So, this is my summer holidays,


Bye for now,

Holi festival ~ megazine podcast

Hi!
I'm Rosie and I'm going to talk about Holi festival!!!

The holi is an indian festival and is about colors: is an explosion of colors: don't be offended, it's holi!

Calebrated since several centuries before Christ, Holi has its origins in a Hindu story about the triumph of good over evil, but it has become the least religious of India's festivals. So, part from being religios indian festival is too a symbol of spring.

In the holi there are only one rule: enjoy the festival!

So, what are you waiting for go there?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing on behalf of all the people who go to the Palamós beach to tell you about the new hotel.

For years ago, my friends and I went to this beach and we don’t agree with the new hotel because it will make the beach private.

We are organizing a demonstration in the street to protest. It is not fair. We sill be stubborn and we are going to use the Palamós central street to do the protest. We are now getting signatures and we don’t need any Money.

In order to publicize our campaign, we would e very grateful if your newspaper could write an article about the unfair situation. The demonstration is going to be this Saturday, 21 of May.

Please contact me on the number or email address given above to discuss further details.

Thank you very much for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
