LA RIERA

It is a TV series that talks about the history of a family, and her friends, who has a restaurant in a village on the coast, called Sant Climent, not far from Barcelona.
I’m doing this writing about “La Riera” because I like it so much. At first, when it began I didn’t follow the story, but sometimes with my grandma and my mother talked about it. And finally they stuck me to watch it every afternoon.
This story, how I said before, is about a family who has a restaurant. The mother, Mercè, is widow and she has 4 children who are adults. They called Claudi, Ernest, Lluís and Sergi. They also have children except Sergi. In this series they have a lot of problems day a day, but it’s amusing because all the problems are related with them and with some of their friends, too.
Claudi is divorced twice and he has three children. He is the worst of the brothers, and his character is the same like his mother. He isn’t a good father and he loves his business.
Ernest is divorced recently from his daughter’s mother. They have deceived each other and their daughter, Ariadna, is destroyed. He is so humble and worker. Ernest is the director of the restaurant.
Lluís is the naughtiest of them. He was always rather independent, but now he is changing and he has given that he wants to help other people who really need his help. Lluís is the reviewer of the restaurant’s room.
And finally, Sergi is the smallest. He hasn’t married yet but he has a girlfriend. He is the chef of the kitchen. He is new in the job and very immature in this type, but he is learning so fast and working hard to forward this restaurant.
A part from those characters there are a lot of more ones, but I think those are the most important to explain you how the series is and a small summary from the protagonists. I hope you have enjoyed this redaction and I hope you like it if you look at the series.

DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE

USHUAIA


I have chosen Ushuaia because in my last trip to Argentina, we decided to go to that place because it’s so beautiful and exciting, but finally we couldn’t, because we wanted to go there by plane and a volcano exploded, so it was impossible. And I want to search of this city to know how it is and which things I could have visited.
Ushuaia is the capital city of Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina. It is commonly regarded as the southernmost city in the world. the total of the population of this city is 56.956.The word comes from the language Ushuaia Yagan: “ush”(the fund) and “waia”(bay or cove). The habitants’ name of that city are “ushuaiense”. 
Ushuaia’s climate is temperate, humid all year round, summer and cold. This climate is also called: cold ocean climate. Strong winds from the west quadrant, originated in the Pacific tend to lash the city, which is why the trees grow unprotected from storms in the direction of the wind, which means that, because of their shape, are called “tree-flag” for their inclination.
This ctiy has a typically Southern cuisine. 
Finally I want to describe some feelings I have experienced. At first I didn't know anything about this city so I can't say a lot. During the experience of looking for information about this city I have learned how the people of there feel and some pictures that have helped me to see how it is. In conclusion I  definitelly want to go there the next time I will go to Argentina, and I didn't put in my redaction a lot of things because I think I have summarized it well.

Dear Mrs Lluïsa Pintó,
I am writing this letter to you because of the situation of this high school, IES Castelló d'Empúries. 
In this high school there are a lot of good points  but there are also bad points. On the one hand, I am going to tell you about the teachers. The organitzation and the department of Education are very good and very organized. I just want you to know that some teachers are very good but some ones are a little bit strict with us and very cold persons. I know that they only have to teach us and go home, but sometimes you learn more doing funny classes and not boring. 
On the other hand, there are some things that me and my friends would like to change if we could, for example the colours of the clases and the corridors. They are very dull and boring. If we have to be with the moral on the top, and with these colours it is very difficult to be consentrated.
In my opinion, musicals, excursions and trips of the school are good and I give the school a lot of points to do that because we forget the routine, we have fun and we learn a lot without books, too. But I also disagree with these excursions because we have to be a lot of people and sometimes it doesn't give us any opportunities to learn about something different.
I will be interested to know your opinion of this letter. 

Yours sincerely,

               Eva Saló.

Self evaluation:

In my opinion I think that my oral presentation of California with Marina was rather good. I think we should explian different topics when we end the project because those are so repetitive, but at the end we did a good structure of powerpoint. And I also think that it was good because we didn't read in our oral presentation. 
I also tried to look at my audience some times, but I think I looked some special guys, because they were in front of the class. 
With this project we learnt a lot of vocabulary and we tried to use it, and some connectors, on the presentation. We check how to pronunce some words and how they are used in the sentence. 
I wasn't nervous because I know all the students of my classroom and I have done a lot of presentations, but I think I could do it better, because in the video seems that I spoke so quikly. So I give myself an eight.
