THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS




This summer, we had a job from the English department. We had to read "The last of the mohicans". In class, we saw the film, but I didn't see the movie. So I had two jobs: see the movie and read the book.
The book is focused more on the part of the war between France and Great Britain on the land.In contrast, in the film talk about war but focus more the love story between Cora and Hawk-Eye.
The book has been very difficult to read, what has caused it was a boring job. Reading has been very difficult since it came out much new vocabulary. See the film was more entertaining.
The story "The Last of the Mohicans" I liked it but the ending is very sad.
I recommend watching the film because it is beautiful. I am not convinced at first, but as the film was passing was better. I was pleasantly surprised.

PLAYBACK

This year we made the traditional playback fourth of ESO. To two numbers: Makeup - Mecano i Hot n 'Cold - Katy Perry.
Prepare Hot n 'Cold was fun because there's a part where Paul comes out and makes it maltractamos boyfriend. It was great doing that song with these two. First why that song is one of my favorites and the latter because I did it with one of my best friends and it was fantastic. Then Ainara and I had to go dressed as brides and it was fun.
For makeup, go out with Sandra, Stephanie, Ainara, Julia and Martha that made girls who are at home, disheveled and untidy. And then had the kids who were Aleix, Oliver, Oriol Julià and Guillem Montero who were dressed as girls.
The playback was a Friday and Saturday at ten o'clock at night.
All the work we did paid off and all the people that saw us welcomed us Ainara me and the dance we did.
Never forget this is why playback unna excuse to spend more time with the people in my course, and know more.

MY MUM

My mother is a very important person for me. She has always been with me when I've needed. Surely it is the person who has seen me laugh sometimes and mourn. But all mothers have their bad side: it is a neat freak, always try to order my room but never achieved only rarely, when I see it is very dirty or when she does, is too heavy, always mine over and try to be the best way. Nevertheless, it is very good mother and not change it for anything.

My mother is unique.






This photo is from the last year.


MY CARNIVAL

The carnival was great. I disguised as policemen with my friends. It was fun, but I think it was the best carnival of all why I've been with my boyfriend, he has made it so special this carnival.
Whenever I dress up with my friends begin to turn around and make me dizzy. But this year has been like had always wanted: dance, drink, sit-se, go out for a while, back in, back to dance.
Why it has been so special, why is the first carnival I've had better.
We went to the Carnival of Roses and Empuriabrava. They were great days to remember.

MILEY CYRUS - CAN'T BE TAMED


For those who don't know me, I can get a bit crazy
Per tots aquells que no em coneixen, puc fer-me una mica la boja
Have to get my way, 24 hours a day
He de pendre el meu camí, les 24 hores del dia
'Cause I'm hot like that
perquè així em sento bé
Every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention
Tots els nois en tots els llocs no deixen de prestar-me atenció
Like I'm under inspection, I always get the 10
Com si estigués sota una insepcció i sempre aconsegueixo els deu
'Cause I'm built like that
Perquè estic feta així

I go through guys like money flyin' out their hands
Paso pels nois com els diners per les mans
They try to change me but they realize they can't
Intenten canviar-me però s'adonen que no poden
And every tomorrow is a day I never planned
y cada matí és un día que mai planejo
If you're gonna be my man, understand
Si vas a ser el meu home, has d'entendre

I can't be tamed, I can't be tamed
No em pots domesticar, no em pots domesticar
I can't be blamed, I can't, can't
No em pots culpar, No pots, no pots
I can't be tamed, I can't be changed
No em pots domesticar, no em pots canviar
I can't be tamed, I can't be (can't be)
No em pots domesticar, no em pots (pots)
I can't be tamed
No em pots domesticar

If I see my reflection about my intentions
Si hi ha alguna pregunta sobre les meves intencions
I'll tell ya I'm not here to sell ya
Et diré que no estic aquí per vendre't
Or tell ya to get to hell
o per dir-te que et vagis a l'infern
I'm like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged
Sóc com un puzzle però totes les meves peces són irregulars
If you can understand this, we can make some magic
Si no pots entendre això, podem fer una mica de màgia
I'm on like that
Doncs així sóc jo.

I wanna fly I wanna drive I wanna go
Vull volar, vull conduir, vull anar
I wanna be a part of something I don't know
Vull formar part d'alguna cosa que no sé el que és
And if you try to hold me back I might explode
i si intentes evitar-ho pordia explotar
Baby by now you should know
Carinyo, des d'ara hauries de saber que

I can't be tamed, I can't be tamed
No em pots domesticar, no em pots domesticar
I can't be blamed, I can't, can't
No em pots culpar, No pots, no pots
I can't be tamed, I can't be changed
No em pots domesticar, no em pots canviar
I can't be tamed, I can't be (can't be)
No em pots domesticar, no em pots (pots)
I can't be tamed
No em pots domesticar

I'm not a trick you play, I ride a different way
No sóc un truc amb el que jugues, sóc diferent
I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake, It's set in my DNA

No sóc una errada ni una falsificació, ho tinc en el meu ADN
Don't change me (x4)

No em canvis
(I can't be tamed)

(No em pots domesticar)

I wanna fly I wanna drive I wanna go
Vull volar, vull conduir, vull anar
I wanna be a part of something I don't know
Vull formar part d'alguna cosa que no sé el que és
And if you try to hold me back I might explode
i si intentes evitar-ho pordia explotar
Baby by now you should know
Carinyo, des d'ara hauries de saber que

I can't be tamed, I can't be tamed
No em pots domesticar, no em pots domesticar
I can't be blamed, I can't, can't
No em pots culpar, No pots, no pots
I can't be tamed, I can't be changed
No em pots domesticar, no em pots canviar
I can't be tamed, I can't be (can't be)

HOW DID YOU MEET MY BEST FRIEND?

I met Ainara six years ago. I was a girl who did not have many girl friends, but boys had many friends. When the course began in fifth grade, Ainara sat alone and on a site next to her and as I'm always late to the sites, the only place left was that free. From there we started talking and saw that we understood in many ways, so we started to make us very friendly.
Over the years we have made more friends and that has distanced itself a bit, but the moments I spent with Ainara have been amazing and in my life I will forget. Ainara always be my best friend. Why always been there with me when I was heavy holding, hugging me when I was crying, I heard when I needed to talk. For the thousands of things he has done for me, forget the potential conflicts that I could have with her.
It is a wonderful person and very sensitive and I regret never having met her, but most will be happy to say one day to anyone that she is my best friend.

MY OPINION ON FINAL COURSE TRAVEL TO ITALY

The travel to Italy was be a good travel. I never went to Italy and I was very excited about the idea of the travel.
My first impression was that Italy was very similar to Spain.
Pisa is a very straightforward. Only has a very significant monument marevellos, Il Duomo di Pisa. Although I was thinking that the tower of Pisa would be smaller and I take a pleasant surprise. Although m'enreocrdo when I enter the place where Il Duomo and gave me an incredible feeling, unexplainable.
I quite liked Florence is a city full of churches and monuments, rather, a city one hundred percent cultural.
The only thing I did not like at all of the city, which for me was a very serious mistake and therefore made me change my opinion was that it was very dirty.
As for Siena, I take a disappointment, but why was not ugly or anything seblant, what happens is that I thought there would be something more to do, but there were only Il Duomo di Siena and the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. I was reminded of Castellon was a very welcoming city.
Finally, Rome is an incredible city. It gave me indescribable as that city in the heart. For me, it was the best of all. The Colosseum, Mouth of Truth, etc.. But without doubt and was the best for me was the Fontana di Trevi. The falling water, people, currencies, the monument of the source ... I was intrigued.

Opinion: If there were monuments in Rome, Florence, would be the best city in the world

THE FUTURE OF BOOKS

Every day, technology is advancing more and more and new devices are appearing with which to replace the old cost-saving or energy. The latest novelty has been the iBooks, digital books. It's as simple as a touch screen than a finger thick, where the bookseller you download the latest bestseller that has gone on sale. Incredible, but true. It is true that they have not yet desaparaecido paper books and many people are still buying, but we must also know that the next generations to leave the paper book for many reasons. First, in classrooms and are beginning to remove textbooks and use projectors to teach the subject from powerpoints. In my school, for example assignatura English, the next year, will no longer book. Secondly, they want children, instead of buying textbooks to buy a small computer which should have internet connection at school and at home because the computers do not have enough hard drive to save the book inside. Finally were iBooks. And if in a few years, my daughter sees something prehistoric read a paper book, not anything unusual.
While all this will have consequences. The eyes of young children grow when they are young, even teenagers grow up and have the computer screens to 50cm is very wrong.
