FINAL REFLECTION

To begin, I want to say that I'm very proud of all the work I've done. When I see my blog space I think that I have improved a lot. For example, in my oral presentations I believe that the first presentation I read a lot and the oral presentation of 2on term I wasn't nervous and my pronuntation has improved a lot.

The activity that best shows my level, are the writings because I have learnt a lot of vocabulary and each time it becomes easier to write and faster. Also, the activity that has helped me improve my level of English is the oral presentation because I was able to work better my pronuntation, this is the most difficult aspect for me and the oral presentation has also helped me to speak English in public, for me this is difficult because I'm shy.

For me the activity that I didn't find useful for me level have been the listenings because quite often I didn't understand what they were talking about and then I couldn't follow the conversation very well.
The other activity that didn't help me to improve is when we were in the language classroom because I couldn't concentrate enough.

The activity that I liked a lot was when all the class played games because it was very entrataining and we also learnt a lot.

In conclusion I hope that I will improve my level of English a lot and really I also think that I've worked hard this year and this will help in my future.

LOVE





Love is a really nice word but does it exist? I would like to think that this feeling can be forever, but unfortunately the world is changing. Before there was a clear idea: find a man and get married. Nowadays the mentality society is only live the moment and enjoy it to the maximium. This is OK, but we have to put limits because we have to act like mature people.

We live for now; we want everything, we want move money, more fame. We are very egotistical. How can love survive, when we only think of ourselves?
There's another problem with love, it is difficult for it can last. For example, if you meet a person, you feel confident with and you become to go out with when you are young. It's very difficult because you have all your life ahead of you. Perhaps this young relationship will prevent you meeting your goals.

To finish I would like to say that I think that love exists and that can last forever, but it's not imposible. Now, I have a relationship since four years and I hope not never end and moreover that not be turn off the flame of love.

AT LAST! I'VE PAST MY DRIVING TEST






A month ago I passed the theory and practical exam driving test. When I was younger I thought that it wuold be imposible because I'm afraid of motorbikes and I thought that it would be the same.

First in January I passed the theory exam in 1st time and I was afraid because if you fail the first time you have to pay more.
Then I went to Girona to do the practical exam and I was very lucky because for me the most difficult was the parking. However a very good women examined and me I passed the exam.

The advantatges are that now I don't depend on my mother and I have more freedom and I like this a lot.
But also there are some inconveniences, for example, nowadays diesel oil and petrol is very expansive and this is a problem because you have a lot of expenses. At this moment I don't have a car and I suppose that I will have a car when I'm older. Although I use my mother's car and I share with my sister and at the moment we don't have any problems and I hope that we won't :P

Syria unrest: Damascus "suicide blasts" kill dozens

"Twin suicide car-bomb attacks have killed at least 55 people and wounded 372 in Damascus, Syrian officials say.

The blasts happened near a military intelligence building during morning rush hour. State TV showed burnt cars and two deep craters in the road.

The government and the opposition blamed each other for the attack - the deadliest in Damascus since the start of Syria's uprising 14 months ago.

The two sides are supposed to observe a ceasefire monitored by a UN team."



In my opinion I think that the situation in this country is very violent because this country is at war.

I understand that these people are against the Government and for this reason are revealed with the Government. Although then the Government has a very violent reaction and attacks people, and the consequences of this, many people die and this seems shameful.
The objective of the Government is to have the subject people an it has all the power.

In conclusion I believe that we should be happy with what we have, because in countries like Syria it is very sad.

This film is about a boy called Harry Goldfard and his mother is called Sara Goldfarb.

Sara, Harry's mother, is a widow and she spends most of her time sitting on the couch watching TV. She receives a supposed call from your favourite television programme and she believes that she has been invited to this programme. At this moment her life cahnges because she begins to become obsessed with food and she starts a diet. This diet doesn't convince her and she decides to take pills called amphetamines because in this way she will lose weight faster.

Then Harry and his friend go in Florida for find easier drugs and later Harry is arm becomes infected and they go to the hospital to get help and the doctor says he is suffering fro drug addiction. Sara gets much worse and she begins to have hallucinations and finally she is taken to mental health clinic.

In my opinion I think that this film is very impressive because it is the reality of the consequences of drugs. In the movie all the characters make mistakes because o drugs.


NEW HUMAN RIGHTS

Dominican Republic: double abuse against women with AIDS

In the Dominican Republic women are subjected to tests of AIDS every day and if these are positive they are dismissed and discriminated.
Therefore a lot of women suffer from double discrimination, first, for being women and segond, because are people with AIDS.


In my opinion I don't understand how there may be countries which discriminate this way to women and only for having a disease. It would be just the opposite, they would help a lot to people who have AIDS. The inequality of persons still in Dominican Republic and the women are very discriminated.
Women with AIDS are not treated as people, they are treated worse than animals.

In conclusion, I hope that things will change because I don't like to see these injustices in the world, although I know that the world is full of injustices.
