Final reflection

MY ENGLISH PROGRESS FROM 2009-2011
My first writing of 1rst of batxillerat is different from my last writing, it’s different in the way of witting .
At the beginning my English was poor, the first writing reflected it because my level was very low: for example It was badly constructed, spelling mistakes, bad expression, serious mistakes and it was bad without connectors. This was caused because of a low level of ESO where I had had base of English.
Despite, this after two years I can see that my level has improved because now I can do well constructed phases using a few sophisticated words.
I think that the change, that I have done, is big but is isn’t enough, because my level of English is very low compared to other people but for me it’s much better because from 1rst to 2nd I had learnt more. Despite this in the last writing, for example, I have had problems with some verb conjugations and I think that I need more vocabulary for develop writings.
Before structures didn’t follow the steps and now maybe they do, I put the adjective after the name, (for example) and other mistakes.

So about comparing of my presentations, is the same as writing.
The content of the first presentation was very poor because I gave very little information about the subject; the language also needed more effort. So I think that it happen because it was the first presentation that I had done in my life and I had never spoken front of other people. The pronunciation was also bad but I think it hasn’t change from now because I know that my presentation is still bad. I hate not know how to pronounce words well but it’s my fault for not practicing and not paying attention to English conversation.

About the last oral presentation, it seems to have changed with context and language ( that it’s more less good) but pronunciation continues being bad.
Something that can influence is that before everything was new and the listeners were also new but now we have been two years together and my confidence is better. Perhaps now I’m less shy doing presentations.
In relation to this, presentation and blog, I think, it has helped me to improve English because it proposed and effort at home where we can think and develop writing while we are learning. However, when we posted writings in a blog we didn’t know our mistakes that we were doing, so we only saw mistakes with tasks. In the second of batxillerat the same has happened because the system was the same. I think that the problem has been the use of technology because if teachers request writings written by hand saw our mistakes.
The idea of blog has been good but I think that teachers, in two years, have wanted more writings, unless 30, and the result hasn’t been sufficient.
Perhaps the blog should have been less important than other things like doing more tasks and more activities in class.

To conclude, I think that in 1rst of batxillerat, the three groups of levels were perfect because everybody learnt slower o faster depending on their level. This years should have been same because in class not everybody has the same level.

MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE IN 2010
I have chosen this presentation and written for two reasons: the first because the presentation of Medieval age I prepared a lot because I wanted it to be very good and because remember that the result has been good because after doing it I thought that I could do more presentations I wouldn’t be shy. Also I chose the written: long-distance love of this year’s because I expressed my critical comment about the subject and I gave my opinion, so I liked it.

About the best written that I think that I did is (love-distance love) because it started with the expression (it’s true!) so I had never used expressions and it was original. Following I say that it’s possible to have a relationship at long distance but I’m not completely convinced because it’s difficult to have a relationship under these circumstances.
I think it’s other way of writing because it doesn’t’ follow the same structure of my other writings. Also I speak about nowadays, about situations that happen at present and finally I give my sincere opinion.
My arguments support it and also, the writings are actual at the present and it’s a subject that can attract and it’s not boring.
In the end, my final reflection is this, I think that this year has been good, I have learnt new things, perhaps I have continued in the same way and the progress has been small but I’m sure when say that I have learnt more. However all that I haven’t learnt was my fault but English subject is difficult for me.

RUFUS SEWELL

Now I’m going to talk about a very important for me because he is one that I admire a lot.
His real name was Rufus Frederick Sewell, he was born on 29 th October 1967 in London and he is a theater, TV and cinema actor. He is recognized as John Murdoch, in Dark city and Jacob Hood of Eleventh hour where he’s the bad main character and he was the wrong role. These films have only two films where he’s the star because he’s also know for the film Knight’s Tale, The legend of zorro, Bless the child, Hele of Troya and the Illusionist…
In all films he’s the perfect bad man because he has a serious aspect and his face shows mystery and seriousness.

Speaking more about his film, R.Sewell has been lucky because he has been essential for many authors. His first film was Twenty-One (1991) from then he started his career because after he starred in more films and more TV serials like Gone to seed ( the first TV serial-6 episodes). At the moment, in 2011 he has just produced Zen as Aurelio Zen which is a TV serial.
My admiration for Sewell began in Tristan e Isolde, film, when I saw this film at the cinema. However, I already knew about this actor but I never paid attention because he was the main character that made me angry.

However in the film he’s the best friend and assistant of the hero and I knew that he was only an excellent actor. After more films where he was the bad men, he has expressed his boredom saying “I don’t want to be a bad man again”.
Speaking about his biography ¡, he attended London’s Central School Of Speech and Drama completing their years of training.
In conclusion, I think that R. Sewell is one of best English authors.

FAMOUS’ BEHAVIOR

Fame can be dangerous when people abuse it. Since cinema, TV.. the fashion has appeared, a lot of people have had fame as one goal and in the highest position.
USA it he only country where the production of films is as empresarial market that produce the most benefits because with a only one film you can earn more than it other jobs.

However, USA is also the famous and fashion country because it’s a country where there are actors like: Brad Pitt, Jude Law, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johanson, etc, who have been born an artist atmosphere. So nowadays we can met the other part or the fame for people like:
Lindsay Lohan, who at the moment is under a desintoxication process.
The Oldsen, sisters who have also started taking drugs and alcohol.
Amy Winehouse is the best example because she has had bad moments because of drugs and alcohol.
Miley Cirus is living the fame because she is at her best moment yet but when she abandoned the programme Hanna Montana to become well-known as a teenager.
It’s a consequence of fame.
My conclusion, behavior changes a lot when people get the top. In the end they don’t know how to have fun. However, a lot of critical comments about famous people make them feel bad.

Internet is killing TV?

The age of television had suffered a drop in 2010 where EEUU has been a country that has noticed the change.
Since the first year, when television appeared until today or recently, television had been able to overcome everything because it was the big innovation.
However, nowadays technology is killing the traditional television but worst of all is that the technologies killing and even the TV operators.

Why does it happen? The answer is very easy.

TV, DVD, VIDEO and other appliances are lost because nowadays other electrical appliances have appeared like Apple. Which allows you do watch streamed video from: Tunes, Youtube, Hulu, iPlayer, Netflix and a lot of services Apple TV also have launched services of usuries that the consumers can see on Google.

I will never say that television will overtake but we know that everyday people build new services and appliances that give us facilities. So internet, now, has a lot of people who follow the new applications.
However I admit that sometimes I prefer to connect to internet than watch TV...

NEOCLASSISIM: EROS AND PSIQUE

Eros and Psique is sculpture of Antonio Canova. It reflects the end of the mythology history that says Eros, God of love, fell in love with Psique, the beautiful daughter of a King of Asia. Eros wanted seduce Psique so they built palace where they met every night without Psique knowing who was her lover.

One day, she shone him in the face with a flashlight to see who see was, but when Eros awoke he ran.
Psique searched for him because she loved him. She went with Venus, a “oracle”, to recuperate her over and to help her but she had an accident and she remained in a deep sleep, until Eros kissed her.



Sculpture, for me is the best because the mythology subject is very nice but the work with marble is excellent. As we can see, perfection of wings, skin and clothing that reflect smoothness and seems real; and the contrast from it’s the pebble or rock gives the feeling of hardness.
I chose it because the way that Eros and Psique are represented is very delicate and it makes a loving heart.

NEW: PAKISTAN BOMBINGS: TALIBAN ADMITS SHABQADAR ATTACKS

Twuin bomb attacks on a paramilitary force academy in northwest Pakistan have killed 80 people, police say.

120 people were wounded in the blasts at the training centre for the fronter constabulary in Shabqadar, Charsadda district.

The Pakistani Taliban said that they carried at the attack to avenge the death of Obama Bin Laden.
However, the al-Qaeda leader was killed during a batlle in the northern Pakistan town (2 May)


OPINION; Several months this struggle is present on TV's it seems that this struggle will never have an end because muslim people never agree. I think that this situation is very incredible because we are in the century XXI and wars still haven't finished when the last was ( Second GM) started about 1900.

The images that journalists and news show are very shocking because only people appear bleeding or dying every day.
I also think that this war will start late because now the death of Obama, has caused anger and resignation in Pakistan. This situation is very dangerous and it can start wars with other countries.

CATASTROPHE OF JAPAN HAS MADE HISTORY

What about catastrophe of Japan? Everybody has forgotten it already? Because that’s what it seems or what I think. A few weeks ago a giant catastrophe shocked everybody, at first everybody was sorry for the Chinese people because the problems that it caused were very serious but… when the nuclear plants started to give problems everyone started to worry seriously.
Now it seems to have finished because the big problem that caused radioactivity in Japan and in the world seems to be normal because on the news it said Japan will remain unaffected by radioactivity from nuclear plants. Everybody was upset about it.
After many days it seems that everybody has got over this catastrophe. However, the big earthquake and tsunami disaster has left a big footprint that Japan will advance with difficulties little by little.

When I knew about it I worried a lot because each time critical images appeared after the catastrophe. I feel sorry for these people because it could happen in Spain to us.

This photo affected me very much because I saw a little child being checked to see if he had radioactivity in his body. Bff… it’s hard to see because it was a little child who didn’t know what was happening,, I didn’t understand it…
I think that the big catastrophe will be the most important in life because it has had and will have a lot of problems. I also think that Japan will get better because it’s a big country and it’s a big economical power.
I’m sure that Japan has to prepare or invent a fast solution to answer this problem.
To conclude, I hope that Japan will improve and that all the families will rebuilt their new life and they won’t build any more nuclear powers.
