My Plans for summer!!!

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

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!!!

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!!

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!!
