My Plans for summer!!!

2009-06-03T22:31:00.000-07:00

Today I will tell you my plans for summer.

When I finish batxillerat one, I will do my research project during the summer. My research project is about Inditex, the multinational company which is very important. The majority of people buy clothes from this company. The shops that sell clothes are Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pull& Bear, Stradivarius, Bershka,etc

I will analyze the evolution of the company and their strategies. My tutor is Jordi Ferre who is the economic teacher. For the moment, I have started the introduction but there is still a lot to do. So this summer I will have to organize the project very well because in December we have to deliver it.

The other thing that I will have to do is work. I am going to work as a secretary in the office at our family garage with my father and my father's secretary. I am working only part-time from 9 o'clock until 1 o’clock.

Afterwards I will meet with my friends to go to the swimming pool or the beach. At the weekends we will go out at night!!

This summer we will be very busy, so we won't have free time like last year.

ALOMA from Mercè Rodoreda

2009-06-03T22:25:00.000-07:00

On 24th April we decided to go to the theatre because this year in Batxillerat one Social we didn’t do a trip, we went only to the university fof Barcelona and Girona. That night we met in front of the theatre Jardí in Figueras; the Catalan and Spanish teachers and some students.
We watched the play from Mercè Rodoreda called 'Aloma'.

Aloma is the character main and she is a girl who lives in Barcelona with her brother who’s called Joan and his wife who’s called Anna and their son, Dani. Aloma and Joan had another brother but he committed suicide. Everybody lives in the house in Barcelona which Aloma and Joan inherit.

Anna’s brother, Robert come to Barcelona because he lives in Argentina. Aloma falls in love with him. Dani is ill and the doctor recommends that they would have go to a mountain. Anna and Dani, mother and on, go to a friend’s house in the mountain because Dani will get over the disease.

One day, Robert and Aloma go together to the cinema and afterwards Robert kisses Aloma, they fall in love and Joan didn’t realize it.
While the mother looks after her son, Joan link with Coral, a woman who is very beautiful and shallow. Then, Dani returns to his mother and he doesn’t recover and some days later he dies. At this moment, the family changes the house for a small and dirty flat because their economical situation was bad.

Finally, Robert goes off to South America and Aloma was very sad and she told sister-in-law that she was falling in love with her brother and she got pregnant and Anna doesn’t like the situation and Aloma leaves the flat. It’s sad situation but the play is wonderful!! I enjoyed it a lot!!

I recommend it to you!!

The lost suitcase!!!

2009-05-15T14:03:00.000-07:00

In 1988, my mother and her friends went on a trip to Paris. When tehy arrived at the airport, one of them called a taxi and finally thet arrived in the center of Paris.

They went to hire a car because it was cheaper than to always go by taxi. Afterwards, they went to buy something to eat. While they wre buying in the supermarket somebody stole all their suitcases and when they went to the supermarket parking area, they found their car open. My mother phoned the "gendarmerie" police and she explained what happened. The "gendarmerie" told them that it was usual and there were a lot of cases every day.

They had to go to the consulate because they had stolen their passports too because they were in the suitcases and they needed some documents for identification for all the booking that they had made. Finally the next day they went to the hotel and they slept all day.

The compulsive shopper!!

2009-05-01T12:29:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, 12th was the ‘MONA’. All my family went to lunch at my grandmother's house. Then we went to cinema with my cousins. We saw the Compulsive Shopper film.
The film is about a girl who bought things every year and she liked clothes a lot. She is a journalist and she lives with her friend. She gets into debt because she buys a lot and afterwards she had a lot of bills. Every time when she sees a shop or a boutique she likes she has to buy something, it’s compulsive.

She goes to an interview to work for a trendy magazine which she always wanted to work for but on the way she saw a green scarf and she liked it. But she doesn’t have enough money and she begged for some money saying that her grandmother was about to die and a man gave her some money. After she bought the green scarf and she went to the interview but she arrived late and the secretary told her that there was another interview but it was in finance. She thought that if she worked in company it would be easier to change the sector and afterwards she would work as a trendy journalist so she accepts to go to the interview and her boss is the man who paid for her scarf. The Boss accepts her and she starts to search for a lot of information of economy and finance because she didn’t know anything!!

At first she makes absurd commentaries but one day she wrote a good article about spending a lot of money on clothes, which wasn’t very difficult because she was describing herself. The boss and everybody liked her article because it was very real. Then all the people wanted to meet this girl. The Boss liked her because she was sincere and optimistic and friendly and they fell in love. They went to a party with important people and she met a lot of people there.

A man who Rebecca had to give a lot of money to because she was in debt a lot was following her and finally the boy discovered the truth and he got angry with her. Rebecca obsessed about clothes and to lost her job in the ELLE magazine, she lost the friends and her lover and the work. She goes a talk of anti-shopping and she sells all the clothes and after she told her lover and he forgave her and he gave her a green scarf because he bought it and they were very happy!! And she resigns from her job at ELLE magazine.

I recommend it to you!!

The Spring!!!=)

2009-04-16T07:53:00.000-07:00

Today I want to tell you about a season: spring. Spring started on 20th Mars at 12.44. In spring it starts to get hot and we can wear small t-shirt, jacket it’s not necessary that we have got too much on. We can start to go by bicycle with your friends or your family because it’s a good weather. It’s very pleasant. In spring the colours are colourful and I like it because I like colours a lot: blue, red, green, purple, violet... it seems that they show vitality and activity, you have a lot to do.

In spring the flowers come out and this is wonderful when you go to way and you see the field has a lot of flowers. Especially when you see a field has a lot of sunflowers, I like it a lot. And now it’s time for the rose for the day of St. George. Spring has got characteristics and a lot of things change. For example the trends, the colours, the weather...But the inconveniences I think that there are a lot of insects and it's very dangerous for the allergic people because if you have hay fever in spring it is complicated.

The parties that we have in Catalonia is St. Jordi, it’s a traditional holiday that consists of giving a rose your lover and if you are a girl to give your lover a book. It’s a sign of love.

I like it in spring because there are a lot of fruits for example: cherry, strawberries, peach, pineapple...

Pizzas from Casa Tarradellas

2009-04-12T12:15:00.000-07:00

Today I will tell you about Casa Tarradellas pizza because this term I have to do a marketing project on Casa Tarradellas.

Casa Tarradellas's pizzas are very good!! The customers buy pizzas from Casa Tarradellas because they are very cheap and very good. The customers have the feeling that Casa Tarradellas's pizzas are traditional or artisanal pizzas because their logotype shows a farm representing that the pizzas are cooked there. In Casa Tarradellas's advertisements a farm also appears with the grandmother that she's cooking the pizzas. So the customers value these characteristics a lot because it represents good quality.

Afterwards Casa Tarradellas's company prospers every day to create new products and the company increases because the people are true to the brand and they already know that the customers are going to continue to buy.

A lot of people buy Casa Tarradellas pizzas because it is the fastest thing to do, it only takes twenty minutes in the oven and after that you can eat it.
My opinion of the pizzas from Casa Tarradellas is that it’s very good and very fast to prepare and I think that you have to have Pizza of Casa Tarradellas to improvise. I like it a lot, I recommend it to you.

Why do we change the time??

2009-04-07T13:15:00.000-07:00

Another time, the last Sunday of March, this year is in 29thMars 2009, we will put our watch forward an hour and we will change to the timetable of summer, so at two a.m it will be three a.m and the day will be shorter than previous and the day will only be twenty three hours.

This change of hour, I think is to reduce the expense of electricity related to the use of artificial light, especially fireplaces.

In the summer, the day is the longest because before the sun comes out and the night starts later, so we have more light natural in the day. We will put our time forward an hour to use the hours of sun and we can save money. The change of timetable happens in all countries in Union European. There is a reduction of expense of energy about 19M€ for Catalonia. I think that it’s a good idea to save money.

AILUROPHOBIA

2009-03-13T10:54:00.000-07:00

My phobia is cats; I don’t like them at all. I panic. When I see cats I’m very afraid, I suffer from it. But I don’t really know why I have an exaggerated phobia of cats. When I was small a cat scratch me on my leg and from then on I haven’t like them.

When I walk in the street and I see cat I have to pass to the other side because I start to panic. I can’t tell you exactly what their fear of cats is but I can’t stand them.

I went to hipique and now there was a new cat whose name’s Oliviva and she lives in the room where we keep the saddles and the boxes. Now my friends always give me the saddles and the box because I can’t go in.

The other day, I went into the room to take a saddle took advantage that the cat wasn’t there but suddenly as it was bad weather she came in and I was very afraid but luckily Sara was there and I ran out of the room.

My Brother!!*

2009-03-09T11:38:00.000-07:00

I have only one brother whose name’s Jordi, he is fifteen years old and he was born on 13th December. We are fifteen months apart. My brother is a person very important to me. When we were small we went to a lot of places together and we never separated, we always played together and we were happy. When we were small we slept in the same room.
My brother is very beautiful, he is tall and he is strong. He is vain, he always asks me about the clothes that he has to wear. He is a posh boy.

We have a good relationship but sometimes we fight because we have different characters. Jordi is more flexible than me. He’s a person who has an open character, he is friendly and sympathetic if you have problem you can trust him . He is nervous but not more than me. He is very reserved he never tells anything you have to ask a lot of questions so he tells us. He is very good worker, he likes to work but he doesn’t like to study. He works as a mechanic with my father and my uncle and my cousins in GERMANS GALI company of familiar. Every weekend he works and he helps my father, he likes it. He wants to study mechanics.

A trip to Barcelona in Polo!!

2009-02-06T06:56:00.000-08:00

In October, my show jumping friends and I went in Polo to Barcelona. The Polo is a hipique in Barcelona and these days they had a jumping show and the other show was wonderful!!

We went to the station in Figueres and we traveled by train to Barcelona. When we arrived we went to Maregnum and we bought a sandwich for lunch. Then we went by metro and we went to the Polo. We didn’t get lost because there was a boy; he is called Xavi Ramos that lives in Barcelona. The Polo is very big and it’s very beautiful, in the entrance there were lots of advertising stalls. Afterwards we went to sit down on the stands and we met Ariadna, another friend of hipique. Before lunch we saw the show of Lorenzo horse’s and the motors it was spectacular!! Lorenzo is a big expert, he is a professional: he is in charge of seven or more horses and he stand up on two horses one leg a horse and the other leg on another horse and he dominated the situation and he jumped off horses – it was extraordinary. After the other show it was with motors and horses and it was fantastic too. But I liked Lorenzo better than the motor and horses show.

Then we ate a sandwich and we saw the jumping competition, we took a lot of photos there were a lot of horses and it was very beautiful. In this competition Cayetano participated but he was ill and there was a substitute. It was very nice. Afterwards Sara, Ingrid and I went to visit the stalls and we went for a walk and we entered the hipique behind the exposition. We visited all the hipique and it was very big: there was an indoor track. We visited the horses in the stable and it was very nice but the inconvenience was that the horse didn’t have a field. Then we went to the other part of hipique but a guy asked us for as the ticket and we had to leave, jajaJ. We returned to the exposition of hipique Polo and we met other friends and we explained the experience. Then we left by train and we had to sit down on the floor because the train was full.

We liked it a lot and we decided that next year we’ll return to the Polo together!!!

In class!!

2009-02-04T06:41:00.000-08:00

Today, I will speak about the good environment in your class. This year, we change the class because everyone chooses their Batxillerat and we divided in two: the Scientific Batxillerat and the Humanities Batxillerat. I’m studying the Humanities Batxillerat specifically, Social Batxillerat.

In my class everybody knows everybody and it’s wonderful because there is good communication and we are always happy!!!

We always speak a lot and smile too. I think that we have a good relationship because we have to be together two years and it’s the better if there is good communication! And when we need help to learn something or other things you can ask the others. We are 19 pupils in total in our class and I think that it’s good because we are little and you can concentrate better and you learn more. The first term in general was good but only five people passed every subject so now, our teacher has changed because we speak a lot.

I believe that there isn’t any day that we don’t smile. The best classes are in economy and economy of company with Jordi F. and history with Sr. Vernet. We are with these teachers a lot of time and we have a good relationship, in general I like my classes and my teachers!! I’m happy!!!

Do you like to wear a dress?=)

2009-01-23T06:44:00.000-08:00

Do you like to wear a dress?   

There are a many people that don’t like to wear dresses because they think that they're uncomfortable or they don’t feel good on her body or their own quirks. After there are many people that have to wear dresses at work, because it’s a uniform or they have to wear good clothes and they have to have a good presence.

There are a many people too, that like to wear dresses sometimes. Because they feel good and for them, they're comfortable.

The dresses are special, there are a lot of types: short, long, simple, extroverted…

In my opinion I like to wear a dress, I think that the dress is very smart (elegant), I like to wear a dress sometimes because I think that if you always wear dresses, you get tired of them. I like the dresses tight because the dress adapts to your body and it takes the form of your body. I like shorter dresses than long dresses, it’s more sexy and it’s beautiful!!

I think that nowadays, it’s better to wear a short dress on the knees, colourful because it’s more for the kind of day. And at night, I think that it’s better to wear a long dress to the feet because it is smarter. For example: if you have to go a wedding in the day it’s better that you wear a short, colourful dress because you express joy, but if you have to go a wedding at night it’s better that you wear a long dress because it’s smarter. And other advice is that I think if you have to wear a dress to go a wedding for example or other where you always wear heeled shoes.

Haven't you decided to wear a dress yet?

The Television!!

2009-01-17T05:07:00.000-08:00

Today I will speak about television. I like watching TV a lot when I'm tired or I need to relax I watch TV on the sofa. There are people who prefer the computer or to read or to listen to music but I prefer to disconnect to go to living room on the sofa and watch TV- a series or a film. In the week I have programme the series that my family and I watch: Monday, we watch “ fisica or quimica”, on Tuesday we watch “ Ventdelplà”, on Wednesday we watch “ el Internado”, on Thursday we watch “Polònia”, on Friday it depends because sometimes I go with my friends or I go to computer because on TV I don’t see any series and the films are horrible! And the weekend on Saturday normally I go with my friends and Sunday in the afternoon we watch a film and the evening we watch “ 30 minuts and Sexy Money”. You can see how I organize my week and weekend jajjaa
But now “Ventdelpla” will be on Sunday and Monday because the day changes.

I am a TV addict, I like the series and the films I like lay down on the sofa and watch a film or the series that I like.

Ah! I forget every day in half past nine o’clock we watch “el cor de la ciutat” of the 300. The last year Laura and me would go to the gala in Barcelona of “ El cor de la ciutat” in the theater TNC and we phoned in the club but they didn’t give us entrance and we watched on TV.

And you? Do you like to watch TV?

My eyes*

2009-01-16T12:23:00.000-08:00

I have big eyes. My eyes are a color blue and green color, they change depending on the light. I’ve inherited my great-grandfather’s eyes because my grandmother told me her father had the same eyes as me and I have big eyes because my mother has big eyes too. My mother has brown eyes and my father and my brother have green eyes, in general my family has green eyes, I think.

I have to put on sunglasses when it is sunny because my eyes are very delicate because I have light blue and green eyes.

I have a problem in the left eyes, I can’t see a long away, I have myopia (1,00-1,25aprox.) and I have to wear glasses to see a long away for example: to see the blackboard or the TV… If I don’t wear glasses my eyes get tired and it’s bad for the sight and my right eye works a lot because the other doesn’t see a long away. If you don’t wear glasses perhaps you will have a headache or you will have itchy eyes.

I think that if you have sight you have to look after your eyes, because they’re delicate. And it’s better to look after them than go blind.

From the misery to reputation!!

2009-01-14T06:38:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of famous people that were once in poverty and now they are famous people and they live in big, luxurious houses. I think that famous people aren’t special or different to normal people. Because everybody is human and everybody is good at something. Normally the person is famous because they are actors or actresses or they are big players and so the person becomes a rich person. Not everybody lives in the street are alcoholic, drug addicts or unbalanced people. Because a lot of famous people once lived in the street and now they can buy a lot of houses and they are special people for someone. For example:

Antonio Banderas

He arrived in Madrid with 15.000 pesetas and he slept in the street and now he’s a good actor.

Madonna

She asked alms and she ate little doves and now, she’s a woman of luxury

Imanolarias
He slept in the metro and he hid in a theatre school.

JimCarrey
He lived in a van.

Halle Berry

She slept in the indigenous hostel.

Daniel Craig

He lived in the park when he went to London.

Hillary Swank

She lived with her mother in a car.

William Shatner

His wife kicked him out the house and he lived in a van

Charlie Chaplin

When he was young, in his childhood, he lived in an orphanage with his brother.

Jim Morrison

He slept in the street.

Kurt Cobain

He was a teenager rebel and he lived under a bridge.

Rose McGowan

She left home when she was fifteen years old.

George Eads

He lived in a van.

Ella Fitzgerald

She went to a reformatory and she ended up in the street.

Crepúsculo!

2009-01-13T07:59:00.000-08:00

I went to the cinema with my family and we decided to see Crepúsculo. It is a very nice film. It’s a film about vampires. The film starts when (the character’s name is Bella) Bella arrives in the small town to live with her father because before she lived with her mother in the city because her parents are separated. And now she’s come to Forks with her father because her mother just married her new boyfriend.

Bella is seventeen years old and she was always different to others. Her father is the boss of the police in Forks.

In Forks she meets a lot of people but someone special catches her attention. He’s Edward, he is very good-looking and very intelligent, attractive and mysterious. Bella falls in love with Edward and she asks her friends about him and her friends answer that he is very strange and he and his other brothers and sisters are separated from the other pupils and they don’t go to school when there is sun.

Bella and Edward sit down together and the first day they don’t speak and afterwards they speak and Bella wants to know his secret why he doesn’t go to school when there is sun. Edward falls in love her too. Edward feels that he has to protect her. And Edward starts to protect the other people finally Edward tells her the truth and he tells her that he and his family are vampires and he doesn’t read her thoughts. They love and she doesn’t tell anybody that him and his family are vampires. Edward lives with other brothers and sisters in a house with the doctor. The other vampires are afraid of her because they think that she will tell the truth but Bella falls in love with Edward and they don’t separate and from then on the problem starts.

Edward and Bella meet in the forest or meet in her house or other places. They go to play baseball and the other bad vampires go to the field where they are playing and they put a spell on people and they want her and Edward takes Bella and they go into house. The bad vampires want Bella and Edward and her family protect her. But the things are complicated because the bad vampires telephone Bella and they say “ if you go to a ballet room your father will die” and she escapes from Edward’s family and she goes. The bad vampires want to drink her blood and Edward appears in the ballet room because her sister can see the future and the other vampires and Edward fight.

Afterwards Edward’s family arrives and they dress Bella, her injuries and Edward had to spit out the poison that the bad vampires had given her. Edward stopped when his father told him because he is a vampire and he likes blood and he stop and they are happy. Edward saves Bella. Afterwards everybody is happy and they go to the party at school and they dance together. The film is very nice and I recommend it!!

My Cousins!!

2009-01-08T07:32:00.000-08:00

Hello!! Today I will speak about my cousins. I have three cousins: one girl and two boys. My cousin name’s Mireia Bellapart – she is my mother’s brother’s daughter. She is twenty-six years old, she is older than us. My brother and I don’t see her often because she studied in Vic and she has a nursery and she works. We only see her at family lunches and some days. My cousin is a little hippy, she is very nice and she went to an ONG in India and I remember when we were young we phoned her and when she returned to Spain, she told us the experiences and she gave us presents.

The others cousins are Joan Galí and Jordi Galí, they are my father’s bother’s sons. In this part of family I am the only girl because I only have one brother, his name’s Jordi. My cousins live in Castelló d’Empúries and we always see them. My brother and I are younger than the cousins because Jordi is seventeen years old one more than me and Joan is twenty one years old. When we were young, at the weekend we went to family lunches on the family’s familiar farm and we met and we played and we always went together. We played and we went to a river and we went for a swim. We have a lot of experiences with them. We have more contact with their.

Joan is older than us, he works in the family garage GERMANS GALÍ and he still studies because he studies mechanics and he continues because it is fun. Jordi studies mechanics and he work in the family garage too. In the summer we always see because everybody works in the garage, my cousins as mechanics and me in the office of the secretary and I help the original secretary. My cousins are very nice we get on with my cousins!!!

The Soul Christmas

2009-01-02T11:56:00.000-08:00

Christmas Day is on 25^th December and it is a special day for someone and for others it isn’t. These days of Christmas holidays there is a lot of food and drink and joy.

Not everybody likes Christmas and others like it a lot.

These days the family is together, on 24^th December in Catalonia “caguem el tio” and it consists of giving food to “the tio”(log) so that the tio poos a lot!!!.

The next day is the 25^th December, it is Christmas Day and the families are together and they eat and drink and they express happiness and they celebrate Christmas very happily. The next day, is 26^th December, Sant Esteve, it’s a holiday and the people celebrate it too. And later, on 31^st December is New Year eve and people celebrate with their family or with their friends and it’s a long night.

On 5^th December the people hope the three kings come and the next day the people find the presents in their house. It’s a summary that in Catalonia is traditional. Normally Christmas is for the family, everybody is together and the very close families. And it’s fun for the presents and mysterious for the presents and it is very surprising. Some people are together with their family and there is happiness and joy!! So this is very nice when you are together with family because if someone in your family died or you are alone on this holiday it is very sad. On this holiday if you are alone you miss your family or your friends or the person who you have lost and it is very sad because on the television or in the radio or in the street you see the holidays with family and you feel alone and afterwards is when you detest Christmas. Christmas is very nice if you have a family or friends and you are together but if you don’t have this, I think that’s very sad. And other think that to enjoy is to travel during these holidays. I hope that you can enjoy this Christmas with family or friends!! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year*

What do your feel when you look in front of mirror¿?

2008-12-01T14:32:00.000-08:00

Today, I will speak us about somebody feels when they look into a mirror. I think that we all (when they wake up) go into the bathroom we look into the mirror. Some days it seems that today we are beautiful and others days it seems that now we are an ugly person. It’s depends.

Because onr day you can wake up very happy and then when you go in the bathroom or your bedroom to put on clothes, you put on the favourite clothes and colours and you look into mirror and you feel good and you want to go outside.

And the other days, you wake up in bed and you think “why do I have to get up today?”You already know that today will be a bad day.

However, you put on clothes that you detest or you don’t like or the colours: black, green… And when you look into the mirror, you think that you are an ugly person and you don’t want to go outside and you want to be at home. And then, that is when you find fault with everything. It seems that a mirror decides what your day will be like.

A lot of people are afraid when they look into mirror. For example:

- Teenagers: A adolescent who has a problem with spots, the next day or next week he is afraid to look into the mirror because perhaps the spot has got bigger or there are a lot of spots.

- Adult: An adult who has a problem with her weightThey are afraid to look into the mirror because they can put on weight and they can be more wrinkled.

It’s a problem because we want to be perfect so every day we find fault with everything. But everybody looks into the mirror for different situations: make up, to look good in the clothes that we wear or a lot of other things…

Autumn!!

2008-11-28T16:14:00.000-08:00

Today I want to tell you about a season the autumn. Autumn started on 22^nd September and finishes on 21^st December. In autumn it starts to get cold and we can light a fire and we can sit in front of the fireplace when it is raining. It’s very pleasant. In autumn the colours are warm. The typical colours are brown, orange, yellow… the warms colours it seems that they show tenderness and calmness.

In autumn the leaves start to fall and countryside trees quiet season. Autumn has got certain characteristics and a lot of things change for example: the trends, the colours, the weather… But the inconveniences for me are that it gets dark very early. The party that we have in Catalonia is the Castanyada, it is a party traditional and the “moniatus”. There are an orange fruit, tangerines, pomegranates… The sparrows go to the south where it is hot.

What do your prefer: sweet or salty¿?

2008-11-28T14:39:00.000-08:00

I like both but I prefer salty to sweet. I like cold meats a lot. In winter, I always eat salami with bread. I think that I couldn’t be vegetarian because I would miss a steak and a lot of types of meat. When we go to butcher’s my mum always buys salami for me to eat. But I like hot salami or a hot black pudding for my father and I it is the best.

I like sweet things too but sometimes I don’t feel like cake or others things. In general I like everything that’s sweet but I don’t prefer it to salty. Sweet things, I like a lot of is chocolate, I love chocolate! A lot of times I eat a fondue of chocolate with fruit. I melt the chocolate or sometimes my mum buys the fondue prepared that you only have heat in the microwave for 2 minutes and then I take the fruit and I eat the fruit with chocolate, it is very nice.

Of time the fritter my family do them, and I like them but I don’t always eat them because afterwards I don’t feel like them and I get bored of them.

and you, what do your prefer salty or sweet¿?

Carnival!!

2008-11-28T13:50:00.000-08:00

All my life I have dressed up for Carnival. When I was young, my mother, my brother and I dressed up with a group of friends from school. Every year we dressed up different, we dressed up as a lot of things: stars, pirates, the “campaneta”, cowboys, flies, a sack of coffee…. We had a float and before Carnival began we met in someone's garage and we organized and we decorated the float. We went to all the Carnival parties round our town, it was very nice.

But when we started to be a bit bigger, we got tired that our parents always decided about the dress that we had to wear for Carnival and some of us started to decide for ourselves. The first Carnival that we decided to wear what we chose was in 2005 when we were 13 years old. We dressed up as tourists, this year was very important for us, we were happy and it was the first time that we felt free.

The next years we formed our group of friends and we started to dressed up as“majorettes” and the “hooligans of Barça” and the last year we dressed up as Batman. Now we will start to think that we will dress up as this year. The Carnival is a party where I always am happy. It’s very nice.

The South Africa!!

2008-11-28T13:22:00.000-08:00

South Africa has got eleven languages officials: Spedi, Sesotho, Setswana, Siswati, Tshivenda, Xitsonga, Afrikaans, English, Isindebele, Isixhosa and Izizulu. South Africa is the second country that has got more languages than other countries, except India.

Before the 20th Century, South Africa was divided into two different cultures. The first group is the black race (60%), the other group is the white race (30%) and the rest is of mixed race. They resisted each other. The religion is Christianity but there are Protestants and Catholics too. The rest of the people are Muslims or Hindus… The culture of English is more important now because the apartheid and the old afrikaaners who were the most religious disappeared a bit. The people who are the mixed race, in South Africa are called Coloured. A lot of white people in S. Africa speak other languages Europeans for example: German, Portuguese and Greek.

The famous sport in South Africa is Rugby, they have won two world cups and they are going to organize a football world cup in 2010.

The economy of South Africa is the biggest of that continent and the twenty fourth biggest in the world. It is the most developed country economic. Its money is called the rand . The most important thing is mining; coal and the wonderful metal. It is a country that respect the others that has reserves and the rich mining. In South Africa there are a lot of very beautiful national parks.

Crisis Economy

2008-11-14T11:36:00.000-08:00

Our country's economy is in crisis in Spain. The crisis started in U.S.A because they lent loans to people who didn't have a job or they had low levels of income and after these people didn't pay the mortgages and they left the apartment when the mortgage increment and the banks went bankrupt and the U.S.A borrowed money from Spain and Spain lend money everybody.

Afterwards they started to lend loans a people who didn't have jobs the same in U.S.A. Now Spain and U.S.A don’t have enough money and they didn't lend money if you have a maxim of money. They lend money to you because they see that you can return the money.

Now it is not safe to put your savings in the bank. Now people who have got a lot of money buy gold because it is safer than putting your money in the bank. Now we don't trust the advertising on TV because the bank wants us to put money in their bank so they have got more money. The conclusion is that the crisis began a year ago and it still continues.

The fashion Industry

2008-10-24T11:19:00.000-07:00

I want to talk about the fashion Industry because it is a subject that for me is interesting. The fashion changes every year, so I want to say that the people who follow fashion seem to we to have an obligation to buy new clothes.

Now there are people who work to wear fashion clothes so the other people see the girl or the boy in fashion clothes like and the other people copy them. This person who works this is called a trendsetter. The trendsetter is like advertisements for the people in the street. I think that people don't like to be out of fashion so they always buy the fashion clothes. But they accept people who don't follow the fashion. There are a lot of people also who don't like to be fashionable. My opinion is that the people spend a lot of money to pay the top fashion models to walk on the catwalk. I think tat a top fashion models earns 6000 euros an hour on the catwalk.

So my opinion about being trendy is interesting. I am a girl who likes to follow fashion. When I can, I go shopping or I like to go window shopping or I like to try on the clothes. I am interested in fashion and the clothes go out of fashion very quickly. My favourite things are the shoes and now the boots, the scarves and the bags. I like them. My favourite's colours are red, purple, pink, black, and green. I prefer colourful clothes.

It's a trendsetter?

The trip to Italy!!

2008-10-16T13:31:00.001-07:00

Last year, we went to Italy at the end of school year. That year we did a lot of activities to get a lot of money so the trip would be cheaper. We sold a lot of numbers for Christmas. We made cakes to sell in the high school to the pupils and teachers. Every week on Wednesday one of the classes sold the cakes. We did a lot of activities together. After at Christmas we had a stall in the "Nadalenques". 

On the day St Jordi we sold roses for the boys and books for the girls. We did a Play Back together and we rehearsed every mid-day and we had a good time together. It was magnificent. In the end we got a lot of money and we shared the money.

On first March we left for Italy by bus, we were very nervous. We were looking forward to the trip together. We were in the bus eight or ten hours and our first stop was in the lake Di-Garda. It was very beautiful. During the day we went to Verona, we visited Juliet and Romeo house. Everybody we were very happy. We visited a lot of monuments, churches, museums and everything seemed wonderful. My favorite city was Florencia and Venecia. In Venecia we spent all day there, it's magnificent. But the streets were a bit smelly and there were a lot of pigeons and we went on the vaporetto it's was great and better with our friends. Florencia is very big and very beautiful. But we weren't ther very long but everything we visited for example David was very interesting. I liked this trip very much. We returned by boat and we enjoyed ourselves until the last minute.

My favourite animals!!

2008-09-30T10:43:00.000-07:00

I like animals a lot, but I don't like cats, I'm afraid of them and I panic. My favourite animals are horses, I have got two horses, one mare her name's estrella and one horse his name's Beauty. They're very nice. I like them a lot. I started riding when I was ten or eleven years old. Every weekend I go to the Aiguamolls ridingschool in the morning to ride horses and I like horse jumping I sometimes go to the competitions I have done exams to have a level of horse riding. I went to the Equus in Girona to take part with a group. We did several carousels with horses that is similar to dancing or moving by horse with a group.
I have a dog too, Her name's kiss-me is very kind. She is small and she is black, I have had her for a long time I love animals a lot.

See you
