Computers have made the world a better place?

According to the people, the technology have made the world a better place. Do you have a computer? If do you have a computer, do you use them a lot? Experts say that 7 about 10 people use computer every day.
One the one hand, computers spend a lot of electricity and is more expensive than use a simple paper to do some actions. Moreover, if you pass so much hours use the PC, you can get a bad habit. Furthermore, with computers the feelings which could feel children when he played football or with toys is very different like a boy in front of a PC
On the other hand, with computers we have more free time because is very faster use them. Because of that we can enjoy with our activities that before we didn’t have enough time to did it. Adding to that, computers introduce to us a lot of new things like Internet. With Internet we can have a relationship with a friend of Asia, because it is free.
All in all, I believe that computers have the world a better place because If we use the technology with measure, we don’t spend a lot of time to do some simple things and we will have more time to enjoy.

Football! :)

On the dictionary the word football means: a game in which two opposing teams of 11 players each defend goals at opposite ends of a field having goal posts at each end, with points being scored chiefly by carrying the ball across the opponent's goal line and by place-kicking or drop-kicking the ball over the crossbar between the opponent's goal post. But for me the football isn’t only a sport. It is a very big part of my life. Since I was a child I had played every day to football. I had enjoyed a lot with them. When I was little I wanted to be football player. Nowadays, I know that I won’t be able to a football player, but I continue playing football in a team. I am very happy with my team because we are second on the league. Moreover, I like it very much see the football on TV, because of that I see every weekend two or three football match. But, now it is time of exams and I don’t have enough time to watch football. Because of that I only watch the football match of the Real Madrid, my favourite team. As I said before, I play football in a team, and every weekend I have a football match. It is a problem for my mother. She wants that I practise a sport, but she doesn’t like that I have played on this team because she thinks that I spend a lot of time. I think that he is a little right because I spend every Saturday with my football match. Because I played vs Girona’s teams. But when I play football I forget all things and I enjoy like a baby....

What are my dreams?

Hello teacher, I am Víctor Rosillo a simple boy of seventeen years old who lives in Empuriabrava. Always my parents have thought that I am a very inteligent boy, but the last year my marks are very poor and they have started to change of mind.
Why I say my parents’s opinion are you asking. Because I think that the last year I gave up on my studies. Because of that I thought that they were right, but now I want to improve in my life. The first instance is meet my goals and later push and focus them.

When I was a child I wanted to be a news reporter like the people who appears on tv and work in some office with a partner because I wasn’t so ambicius. But now I change of mind. I understand that If I work very hard, I will be the person who I want.

Because of that, to try of fulfill my goals I am going to study very hard. As you know, now my objectives are very different as a news reporter. Today my challenge is study a lot to be an engineer in the future, but not a simple worker, I want to be one of the best engineers of Spain.

Perhaps, you think that my dream is very boring, and I have to say to you that you have reason. Because my dream is not to be engineer as I said before.

My dream it is very simple, I will be very happy if my parents are proud of me. Because of that, the word failure doesn’t exist on my dictionary. And my parents will be proud of me if I be happy. To fulfill my dream the first instance is to get good marks to go on Barcelona university where I want to study, and try to enjoy the way……………..

On the way of my life I want to be part of a family. I want to get married and I will want to see born my son. Then I’ll say “No one has whitten your destinity for you”.

Oral presentation. Víctor Rosillo and Arunas Dumsa.

Reflection:

On my first oral presentation of the year I used a lot of resources: A powerpoint, some pictures and two funny videos which help me to do a better presentation.As you can see on the video I was very nervous, but I think that I looked all the time at the audience. And I read my notes occasionally but I tried to hold the attention of my audience.
The ideas that we explained were in order, and we use a lot of connectors to made the ideas more clear. I hope that the audience were very interested with the information that we explained because it wasn’t easy for us made it. I believe that it was a short, but a happy presentation because the videos are very funnies.As I said before, I think that our oral presentation was very short, but we used rich vocabulary because we looked a lot of words to the dictionary. Moreover we used a lot of connectors.
In spite of that, I think that the pronunciation and intonation was very bad. I don’t like to repeat the things that I said, bit I was very nervous and I could’t talk with normality.Finally I ‘ll have to put my own mark. As I am realist I believe that I get a 5,75. But I hope that the next time I ll do it a good presentation.

Literal transcription:

How we can define the word humour.Any volunteer.
Well, more less.The world humour means: a message whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter.
But what do you think?Is there an international humour? Or humour is culturally specific?In our opinion, we think that the humour depends of each culture for different reasons.
• Because you can’t say some things which can offend to another people of different cultures: For example: In Islamic culture the religion is very important, because of that you can offend them if we try to some topics.
• Moreover, the English humour for example isn’t same as Spanish humour, if a British men tells a joke , a lot of British people can laugh with them, but Spanish people can misunderstand and don’t get the idea of the joke. Quickly: What do you get when you cross the Atlantic with the Titanic? About half way.OK, I don’t see the humour point in this joke, and you? Well, it is because the humour is culturally specific.
Let’s go with the most important point of humour:As you know, in the World exists a lot of bad situations. Some experts, patients and doctors say that the best way to forget our problems it’is with humour therapy.Laughing is found to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, increase muscle flexion, , and produces a general sense of well-being. Moreover, Laughter is infectious. Because of that a lot of Hospitals around the country are incorporating formal and informal laughter therapy programs into their therapeutic regimens. And In countries like India the government have created laughing clubs with a positive results.Now, we are going to watch a video.Enjoy them. It is awesome!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-w0Z08LxFM&feature=fvst
In the video we can see a very famous comedian USA’s profile.But someone of you know what it is the comedian Spanish profile?.....We think, that it doesn’t exist an specific profile. You should have born with a natural characteristic.




In Spain exist a very famous TV programme about jokes. The club of jokes, in Spanish el club del chiste. Where the main characters are very different:

There are the attractive humorists: Martina Klein and David Amorthe simpatic boy called Diego Arjona. Meritxell Huertas Leo Harlem and the presenter Anabel Alonso.

At the end, we can watch a part of a video about humour.Enjoy them. It is awesome!!

Computer games

Some years ago, my parents played with balls, toys, and a simple things. They were very happy with them. But, the technology is very fast, and now, the children don't play with simple things, they play with video games. In my opinion, it is very negative because the feelings that you can fell on the streets are very different as on a chair in front of a computer.

When I was little, the video games are very unusual and I enjoyed a lot with a football match with my friends...but a few years ago, everybody had a computer, I'm too. Then, I started to play to video games and I didn't go out approximately by one month. It was a small period of time because I was very "strong" but there are a lot of people that always are playing with a video games. They are into a bad habit.

Because of that I think that computers are very useful because we can do a lot of things that we couldn't do before, but with a lot of measure.

The research project

The research project consists on an investigation about some topic. I am going to talk about my project which is about the anemia.

I don't like so much my topic but I think that I have done a good work. I haven't finished my project yet. But it is going in a good way. Since I started the research I have done the theory part and I'll have to make the practicals. The practicals as you know is always the best and the happiest part. Because of that, I hope that I'll finish my project at the end of November. It is a good date to finish the project because I'll have three weeks to give in. In this time I'll correct my work.

But, What I think about the project?

In my opinion, I think that the research project is a waste of time, because I believe that we don't learn so much but we have to work a lot. If it is very useful, a lot of countries would do it, but their don't do it, only Catalonia. Because of that I think that it is not necessary, but I am a simple student and I can't do anything.
