My progress

http://marina4tenglish.blogspot.com.es/2012/10/dear-sonia.html 

My progress from 2012-2014

My first post was an email to my teacher, and my final post was can Money buy everything? So yeah, my last post was not a farewell but I think that we should do another post doing this. So I wrote a letter, it may seem like a little summary of our life and also now I’m doing it a little like a comparison about my progress. Let’s go back to the start! Firstly, the structure is completely different from the first email or letter structure, while the last post is an answer with a free structure. In the first ones the structure was a little chaotic and the second ones have their arguments. Even though the first post I only used one connector to link the information (however) on the last post I used more connectors. And the structure of the sentence is more complex in the second one.

Related to the vocabulary- in the first my vocabulary was poor and in my opinion I have progressed. The last post I tried to avoid repeating words. Thirdly the content in the last post is richer. I did a lot of posts, so with practice I have improved on writings. And maybe now I think different this time.  

http://marina4tenglish.blogspot.com.es/2012/11/self-evaluation.html

Between my first oral presentations I talked about Tukanas, and my last one where I talked about my TDR. I have improved in content, vocabulary and also the pronunciation. I really have a bad time when I’m doing the oral presentations and at the first one I was really shy and nervous but in my TDR presentation I was not so nervous, only a little bit. Maybe because I did a similar presentation some days before.

Moreover I am still nervous in each presentation that I have to do. And I know that I have to improve, especially with the body language.

In conclusion I can say that day by day nothing changed, but when you look back for example doing this post you can see that all is different. You continue being you but your mind changes completely, so well we can affirm that the experiences change, you, learn about them. And don´t want that it’s seems like a farewell speech, because I think that I will continue to write in this blog because finally I understand that when you write your posts it’s time to express yourself and you express your ideas and no matter what the people thing about it. It’s only you and your mind so it’s sounds a good combination. And remember: no matter how much it hurts, you have to hold your head up and keep going and also you can write about it. And enjoy your time because time flies. Maybe the things only last the exact time to be perfect. 

Kisses see you!

My English competence

Written post
Oral presentation 

I am sure! I would choose these ones. The oral presentation shows I can be in front of the public talking with English and also that I can work with a group.  We talked about humor and I did it with two friends of mine.  We enjoy doing it. In my opinion our pronunciation were in an acceptable way.

Related on the writing, I have chosen this one “ if I Knew then..” because I really enjoy to wrote it, with a short time I remember all my important moments in my life and I had to think how improves and resole those experiences. And I realize how time flies.

In conclusion, doing a lot of practice is successful. So I did it the best I could! And I hope that you like it!  

If I Knew back then...

Dear Marina

Firstly, welcome to the best and worst time of your next six years. I am saying it because if you are prepared for it and you may know how to act. So it's time to break the rules! But be careful, I know that you are young and wild but you can't think that the high school is the best place in the world. At last you are old, and it's like a high school musical...

Secondly, don't spend your time studying only you need to work a little bit and the most important thing: read! read a lot of books and you will fall in love with them. Also you need to go out with your friends, every afternoon, enjoy these little things and don't get obsessed with your marks because they don't matter. it's only a way yo classify how you adapt to this system. Teach yourself! Laugh more, cry, less, kiss more, criticise less, enjoy more, play more because when you stop thinking you will know that everything changed. Life goes by too fast. all you have to do is make sure that your life has started to be the best adventure. And don't remember to search what you can offer to the world.

Be your own heroine!
Love,
Marina

can money buy everything?

Sorry for the cries of my dog I couldn't shut him up

 Money can't buy everything. We mustn't change our society to a marketization society (a society where you can buy everything, where the money will move the world.) So, it’s obvious that money can buy a lot of things but we need to put some limits. These limits are used to stop our society degenerating into a society where the civic values pass take second place. However if in some case it happens, every time we will want more and more and more money we will never be satisfied. In my opinion if it happens we'll only see humans, but not humanity. So for me the limit is: money only should buy material things.  It must be the unique limit of our society, the first law. When the money can buy the intelligence or love or every abstract thing, we need to stop and to think again. Money should only  buy material things, nothing more. In our hands we have the power. The power to change everything that we propose. We need to believe in ourselves, we have the enough strength to keep the continuity of humanity . The only way to do it is not to give power to money. We are able to move the world in another way, the way that the humans build a society and not robots.

Villarreal fined less than £10,000 in Dani Alves race row after fan threw a banana

"Villarreal have been fined less than £10,000 by the Royal Spanish Football Federation after a fan threw a banana at Barcelona's Dani Alves in April.

The League's Competition Committee took into account the fact the supporter was identified and banned.

The fine, which equates to 12,000, is in relation to an incident in the 75th minute of their 2-2 La Liga draw at El Madrigal when the defending champions were awarded a corner.

As Alves prepared to take the set piece a Villarreal supporter threw a banana in his direction.

Spanish police have detained the person and charged him with a 'breach of fundamental rights and civil liberties'.

Images of Alves, a Brazil international, picking up the banana and taking a bite during the La Liga match were beamed around the world and he was widely backed by fellow players and other public figures who denounced the apparent racist taunt.

A 26-year-old man was taken into custody last week before being charged and released and would be appearing before a judge at a yet-to-be-determined date, a police spokeswoman said."

Villarreal was fined 10000 by the Spanish FA after a fan threw a banana at Dani Alves, a player of Barça. The reaction of Alves was to eat it. And this picture is seen around  the world, a lot of followers  have copied it.

In my opinion this shows that racism is still present in our lives. And we need to do something to change it. We are in a modern times and it is unacceptable. So the action to eat the banana was the best thing that he could do. The world is talking about it. He gets to make publicity about this fact. We need to fight against racism and that all the world in that moment think: we need to change it. We need to try it because with a closed mind you can’t go so far. We can’t progress if we still having the same opinions. We need to change the chip.

One in five parents who move buy bigger homes because their children are living at home into young adulthood

"As many as one in five parents who moved house in the past few months wanted a bigger home because their children are staying at home until their late 20s, a new study reveals.

A survey of almost 13,000 adults by Royal Mail found that 21 per cent chose a larger property to prepare for their children staying with them into young adulthood.

Half of those questioned said they waited longer than they wanted to move house, mainly because of a shortage of suitable properties.Alongside this, patience is proving a virtue in the house-buying market with people prepared to sit it out to find the right home for them.’

The survey follows a second survey this week, which revealed parents are putting their financial future at risk to help adult children get on the property ladder.

The expectation that parents will help their offspring buy their first home now applies to all classes, not just the rich, according to a report from the Halifax.

But it places a ‘significant emotional and financial burden’ on ageing parents, the report says.

Nearly four in ten parents who have given support to their children to buy a property are concerned about their own finances in later life, including pension cash."

Four in ten parents who have helped their children buy property are concerned about their own finances later in life. Also one in five parents moved into a bigger home because their children are living with them until their late 20s.

With this fact we can see that parents are not as strong as they used to be. I mean that in most cases kids sometimes need a kick up the back side to go out and find a work. Parents are overprotecting their children, it’s seems like they are putting their children in a bubble in a bubble. In trying to protect their children, they only spoil them. We have to learn to fight for get something. And parents do the opposite to help children do what they need to do. You can’t move to a bigger house for your children, and you can’t affect your finances because you want to protect your children. These young adults are old enough to sort out their lives. Society gets worse.

Oral presentations

Nowadays at school we are used to doing oral presentations and I’m absolutely agree with this change. We are in a time of change. We are moving for innovation, the news technology, new findings. So we need to do a lot of presentations. I’m sure that all the students suffer the terrible situation of standing in front of everybody. You can’t breathe, your body trembles, everybody is looking at you and you need to talk, you have to say something. But you can’t. For example my oral presentation of TDR it was terrible, my worst oral presentation of all my life. My voice was trembling, the words couldn’t came out of my mouth. The truth is that I felt rather stupid. But at that moment you have to talk you don’t have another option. (For bad luck)

With all this I mean that we need to do more oral presentations, we do a lot but not enough. We have to practice until we feel more confidant, until it seems more natural. In all works you need to know how communicate in front of the public, how to speak with people that you don’t know. Even though I hate to do oral presentations I know we need more practice.

A soulmate

We are influenced by films and they create on us a hope to finding our soulmate.

“A soulmate is a person whom you have immediate connection the moment you meet your soulmate. A connection so strong that you are draw to them in a way that you have never experienced before”. It exist but we can find more than one. In all our lives we meet new people and depends on the situation we prefer different kinds of soulmates.

That’s why we only have to live our life and in some moment we will find that moment. The moment on your heart stops. The moment of your life that divides your life in to: your life before meeting him, and your life after to meet him. In some moment these feels will break up but your life continue. And will appears a new soul mate for you. This person that make you feel protected and secure. This feel to look each other into the eyes and you don’t know why but you are smiling.

In conclusion, a strong connection, in amazing moment.

Interview with a career expert on your interest

Good Morning, I'm Marina and I’m 17 year old. This year I'm going to university so there are a lot of question in my mind. Firstly I don’t know which degree to choose. But I have some ideas. My options are: Psychology, philosophy, ADE, International business and criminology. However, my first option is psychology but I might not have a good enough mark.  For that reason I want to interview a career expert, a philosopher. I want to know about that, so my first question is:

- If you need to convince a person to study this degree, what would you say?

+Those who study philosophy are challenged to analyze concepts clearly and evaluate evidence and arguments critically. So if you want a challenge that changes your point of view of the simple things this is your degree.

-Where did you study and why?

+Firstly I choose Philosophy in Girona because I didn’t know what I wanted studied and not even where. I went to the closer one but then I really liked the atmosphere. So I was very luckily.

-Is as difficult as it seems?

+No! The philosopher isn’t  one who complicates the life, inside out, they only inspect the complications of life, how you can understand them and solve them.

Thank you for your attention, you make it a little bit clearer.

Twitter 'blocked' in Turkey

"Late at night here in Istanbul, the city's internet users suddenly faced the same problem: none of us could get onto Twitter. 
The apparent blocking of the website is dramatic, but not surprising. Hours before the site went down, Turkey's prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan mocked Twitter at a public rally. He promised to "wipe out" the site in this country. "The international community can say this or that, I don't care at all," he warned. 
The Turkish government, many of whose officials are regular Twitter users, complained that the website failed to implement court rulingsordering the removal of various links. Those links are thought to be alleged recordings of the prime minister's private phone conversations. The recordings have been widely circulated on Twitter - many internet users believe that conversations reveal evidence of corruption."

Twitter users in Turkey have been blocked in the country. This happened after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip attacked the site on Thursday. He mocked twitter at a public rally. People believe that he blocked it because there were some recordings of private phone conversations.  So maybe these conversations are the evidence of corruption.

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”. So with this action the Minister has refused the freedom of speech. Nowadays social networks are where people express their ideas, explain what is passing through their minds. And also it’s an instrument to pass information  fast. For this reason you always have to be alert because you never know if someone is recording you. But I think that if he blocked this social network it’s because he had something to hide. Probably another case of corruptions and this minister is deleting himself doing this. How we can change it? I think that the solution exist. It’s easy: using another social network because you can’t control all webs. Even though they try to take away our right of freedom speech, they never can’t do it.

Went down: stop working

Wipe out: destroy completely

A soulmate for me

It is said that the perfect guys are supposed to be tall, have blue eyes, blonde hair, the typical model of Calvin Klein…But in my case I don’t have a prototype of the perfect soul mate. Only he has to have a connection with me. But if in some case I have to choose one he will probably i be:

Physically he will be dark-skinned, I really like the men who are dark-skinned, they are so attractive! I will describe it descend from the top of the body to the lower part. The hair has to be brown or black and not too long nor too short. The exact length is that the hair can fly a little. The eyes have to be absolutely green or blue, I don’t know why but I find these colours so interesting.  A perfect simile is the key!  And lips thick are the perfect combination. He has to be tall but not too (perfect measure: you put on your tiptoes and you have to arrive to his lips). He must be brawny it’s necessary that he can pick me up .Looks are not important, but they help.

His personality should be likeable, loving boy (rather important), with a sense of humor. I like people who I can laugh with. Also he has to have a positive mind! Because in this life you need to be optimistic and we need to have hope. I can’t stay with a person that always transmits bad emotions, the only way to be happy is having a positive mind. And the last thing I need is a person who I can talk to. I mean a person that does not always talk about him or talk about something stupid all the time, so a person that you can talk with. I know that all this is an enormous list but it’s only a list with my preferences to be a perfect boy (unreal boy). Therefore in my opinion this boy doesn't exist but I think that my soul mate will be a person who all their imperfections are perfections to me. You need to find the little things that make him special and unique .

Mr. Rajoy

Spanish Governement

Dear Mr. Rajoy,

I am writing in a response to your actions in our country. Specifically about the cuts that you are imposing. And I would like enforcing you to read my proposal.

First of all, I wish to find out how much the cuts cost. The reason is your actions are having consequences that are affecting everybody. You cut on education implies less future for our country. You cut on health implies less development of our country. They will degenerate into society where only rich people will be able to live.

Secondly, I wish to propose a solution. It consists of only cutting on the military department. You are destination an excess quantity of money on it. And in my opinion with less money will be enough. In our times is impossible that we enter on a war, or something else. Maybe you let throw the money on a rubbish.

Certainly, you should look your system because it does not work.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely.

Janet Cruise.

Sarah: Stop checking your mobile phone! Now you’re with me and we should talk as before.

Blake: One moment please! I’m talking with my mum!

Sarah: Oh my God! Do you think that I’m stupid? Don’t use this ridiculous excuse.

Blake: It’s truth!

Sarah: You need to stop it! If you continue like this you will lose all the persons that you Love.

Blake: Don’t start again...

Sarah: Because you mean a lot to me and you know it. How will you feel if you want to talk with somebody and they are ignoring you?

Blake: But I’m listening you.

Sarah: it’s not enough. The communication consists of a conversation between two persons minimum. And not only listening.

Blake: I know it...

Sarah: Give me your iPhone!

Blake: Why?

Sarah: Give me tour iPhone! Okay thank you. Please try to live without it for a week. Your life will improve. You will be less stressful! And I’m sure that your social life too.

Human rights: Education

Human rights are the rights you have simply because you're human (click in). I'm going to write to answer this question:  Which human right were you not familiar with?

I choose the right to education and I should to be familiar with it. But it's not the case.  We're living in a modern society but I'm not sure about it. Why? Because I don't see anywhere that all the humans rights are carried out .  I'm talking about education, the human rights say: "Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit." So, with this definition everybody has the possibility to study. But the hard truth is that not everybody can do this. If you want to go to university you can’t always afford to do it. I know that scholarships exist but it's not available to everybody, only the brilliant students can get this. This has to change, education is a human right so the government has the obligation to put more money in to this, for our futures. I mean the future is us. if we don't have the possibility to go we can't form our lives. I know that some brilliant minds like Steve Jobs didn't go to university but not everybody is like him. So on facebook are a group called selectivitat 2014 and a lot of comments said that they can't go to the university because they didn't have the sufficient mark to opt for a scholarship and didn´t have enough money to pay the university fees. So it's necessary to extend this right. The people who want to study need the possibility to be able to do it.. Also, if everyone has the right to education why are there a lot of people illiterate? Education is the key, the key of progress and we are not going to progress in this way. 

" Sant Jordi"

How everybody knows the tradition is the boys give a rose to the girl and the girls give a book. So I hoped that my dad or my brother would buy one for me but they didn’t do it. With Lídia we decided to go to Figueres and buy some books. And we did it. Also we could see that everybody was in love, all the Rambla was full of couples ( the girl with a rose in her hand and the boy probably the book in his backpack) for that reason we felt a little depressed but we were happy for them. I decided to buy a cupcake of chocolate (amazing cupcake) and I enjoyed a little more. Now I can see how commercialism affects us. Because our society profits from the 23 of April to sell more and more so it’s another day to raise the sales.

Even though a lot of people don’t remember the story of the importance of the day. I want say that when I returned to my house my father gave me a book so I am also a bit commercial as well!

"Setmana Santa"

A desired week for all students of second batxillerat. I want to talk about this break that we had. A break that for my opinion we needed. I’m sure if we didn’t have it I wouldn’t be able to finish batxillerat. My body needed a break to disconnect from the school world, I needed new air.

I’m also thankful for it because if we didn’t stop we can’t stop until selectivitat (more stress). So we can use this week to work but also for our time. In my case I used this time for ballet but also to go out and meet with my friends. How I explained in another post I had an awesome excursion with very good weather.

So after these seven days I was prepared to start gain. With enthusiasm to finish the little time which we will spend in a place where I will never come back to. For this reason I will try to enjoy it. After this explanation I want to show that if we only work it is not good for us, we need to have fun as well.

A little break in our life

There (the first photo) we can see a beach from “Cap de Creus”. This is a typical Mediterranean place. The beach seems like a big pool which ends at the open sea. This reminds us summer. The water, which is as blue as the sky and as clear as diamonds, is so awesome and extraordinary that it seems unreal. This photo was taken yesterday. With some friends we did an amazing excursion across the coast. We walked six hours but the landscape was indescribable. Our plan was  to disconnect from the world and we did it. This was a time to realize about how beautiful and magical the Costa Brava is. The second photo  is the photo before we jumped into the sea for the first time of the year (18/04/2014). The water was very cold at the first moment. But we had a sensation of liberty, how I said before, we disconnected from the world. I want to recommend  to you that someday you  do it!

Operation bikini

It’s time for operation bikini. Yes, the summer will come back in a short time so I’m sure that the gyms will be fuller. Everybody is a little scared about their body. Summer times means beach time and it means bikini time, so we need to be in form to look good. People start diets again. But my operation bikini is to go to the gym, also do come abdominals while I’m in class. They consist of breathing in with your stomach in, hold 20 seconds. And then you have to breathe out. So you take advantage of your time because you are doing two things at the same time. With my cousin we decided to go to the gym on New Year’s Day and we still haven’t been! But today after 3 months we’re going to the gym!

But I propose another thing apart from gong to the gym her name is “dance walking” a new fashion in exercise. While you’re walking you dance, jump and you do whatever you think about. So you enjoy the place (that you’re seeing) and you dance. A mixt of dance and walk. And it must be so funny and funnier that if you do this with your friends. Also it does not cost any money!

Change in the Abortion Law

Few days ago the abortion law changed. Now, it is illegal.

Firstly I want to say that I'm totally opposed to his absurd law. We are returning to the past. They are controlling us. They are deciding for our body. They are taking away some of our life.

The government, as usual, control us but now they cross the line.

Everybody has their opinions and enough knowledge to think they want to do. If you have a child your life change. If, for example, I have a baby my life will change completely. This means that everybody knows their situation  and I think that in these "modern times it's absurd that we're retuning to the past.

Also if for some mistake a teenager is pregnant , their life will be ruined. if for some terrible thing happens like that someone raped you. you have to be pregnant because some stupid person ruined your life it's absurd that you can't have an abortion!! Yes, I know that for this case is you pass a test you can abort, but they make you a lot of tests and maybe they don't believe you.

So, if their mentality is too closed it isn't our fault. it has to be a male that made this law.... A chauvinistic male. I'm sure that they didn't think that if their daughters is pregnant, he will be a grandfather for his stupid and ridiculous law.

I have my right to do whatever I want with my pussy!

Man survives 16 months at sea

Fish, birds, turtles - anything he could get hold of, he would kill with his bare hands. Jose told his rescuers he even drank turtle blood to stay alive during the 16 months he says he was adrift at sea. When his boat finally washed up at Ebon Atoll on Thursday, halfway between Hawaii and Australia, he was emaciated and barely able to walk. Ola Fjeldstad, a Norwegian anthropology student who's doing research in the Marshall Islands, said Jose's fiberglass boat bore the signs of the harrowing 7,500-mile detour:

Ola Fjeldstad, anthropology student:

We first found his boat, which was probably a 24-footer, engine broken, grown over with shells and other sea animals. And it had a live baby bird, a dead turtle, some turtle shells, fish leftovers and it was in pretty bad condition.

And there's tragedy in this tale. There were two people on the boat when it set off from Mexico to El Salvador in September 2012, but Jose said his companion had died several months earlier. Little is known about the circumstances, as so far he's had to draw pictures to communicate with people on the remote Pacific island because they can't understand Spanish. Locals have been nursingthe long-haired, bearded stranger back to health and Ola Fjeldstad says Jose's doing much better:

Ola Fjeldstad, anthropology student:

He's gained a lot of strength. He's been eating a lot of food, fish, rice, fruit and drinking coffee. He's in a lot better shape now. He's able to walk around by himself. He's cracking jokes!

There are good reasons to be cheerful; had he missed the Marshall Islands, it could have been another 1,000 or so miles before Jose would have had any hope of hitting land again. a man alone at sea for more than a year, killing animals to stay alive. That's what Jose Salvador Albarengo from Mexico says happened to him when he was trying to sail to El Salvador.

Summary:

Jose Slvaador Albarengo form Mexico stayed alone at sea for more than a year, killing animals to stay alive. This happened when he was trying to sail to El Salvador. Also there were two people on the boat  when it set off from Mexico but his companion had died several months ago.

Opinion:

It's amazing, it's all that I can say!  The capacity of humans isincredible, more than we think that we can really do. Probably you can't think that if you will find yourself in this situation you would probably die. But we need to trust in ourselves. Don't give up. This news shows us it! If your decied to do something  yourself,  you can do it if you really want it. Only you need the most important thing : trust in yourself. Because if you don'then, who will? ¨Don't let the noise of other peoples opinions drown out your inner voice¨- Steve Jobs-.

Vocabulary:

Adrift: (of a boat) moving across the water but not controlled by anyone.
Emaciated: thin and weak because of extreme hunger or illness.
Harrowing: extremely frightening or upsetting.

Is your smartphone giving you wrinkles? 'Techneck' caused by constantly looking down at gadgets

"We all know smart phones are zapping our free time, our sleep and even ruining our sex lives but it seems they are responsible for the demise of our looks as well.

Whether it is on the daily commute, at our desks or even lying in bed, we are constantly looking down at our gadgets.

All this screen gazing means tech-obsessed Britons could be ageing faster than ever. As the head is constantly bent downwards a new wrinkle appears around the neck and it’s not helping our backs either.

Labeled the 'Techneck', the wrinkle around the neck and chin is caused by the modern day compulsion to always be checking handheld devices and computers.

Joining the likes of 'laughter lines', 'crows' feet' and 'worry wrinkles'; the 'Techneck' is the latest face furrow and was identified following a surge of neck-related enquiries for treatment.

CACI, experts in non-surgical facelifts, have noticed the emergence of the new wrinkle amongst tech-obsessives and are offering to combat it with a treatment called the Microlift.

Dean Nathanson, Managing Director of CACI international commented: 

‘We're a hard working nation and our hectic everyday lives mean that keeping one's head down, be it buried in work emails or in an e-reader, is completely the norm.

‘Recently we noticed a surge in enquiries for our product, specifically to combat lines around the neck area."

Summary:

Clinics  are seeing a rise in patients wanting to fight lines around the neck. Experts believe the wrinkles are caused by staring down at phones. Also we are a hard working nation and  we always need to read emails or  work with computers or phones. This is completely normal. So they call the wrinkle: Techneck.

Opinion:

Everybody knew that this was coming. Because all  acts have their consequences. If we use the phone a lot ,we will seems  older than we really are. But I don't care about it, all people will have it for that reason, all the world will seem older. so if everybody has  the same problem the society won't fix this. And other reason is that I'm sure that  next week the technology will create something to avoid it or  overcome the wrinkle. Even though, we can see that  technology creates  bad habits and they affect our health. In conclusion , modern is not always  progress.

My research work is based on the seven flaws of memory. As a theoretical frame I go in depth about all these mistakes from the psychological point of view. But also I research about biological bases. I want to know our ¨machine¨, the machine that makes us who we are. So I think that the best option is to talk about the memory that without it we can’t remember all the experiences, the good memories, all that we did. All is in our mind. However the memory is very extensive, for that reason I decided to concentrate on only talking about the seven flaws of memory. With the information I could create a map showing the situation of memory. It ‘s rather important because we see that memory is in all places. For my practical work I confirmed some hypothesis of Daniel Schacter. In the experiments I proved that we remember more negative experiences, that the memory is narrative, that people have the tendency to make flaws in attribution of words, and  a tendency to improve  marks, if you consider that you have good results.
