My 2012’s summer

In June I finish my classes and the summer start with particularly emotion and I can’t wait to come. I’m really enthusiastic because I am going to do a lot of things.

First, I am going to go to a camping with my friends for four days. We will go to the beach, to the swimming pool and go to parties, too. When I return, I will work, in the mornings, in a summer camp side if they take me on for the job, and in the afternoons, I am going to work in a Paintball, like a joker doing what they need, or doing my research project of Batxillerat.

In August, I will be very stressed with the research project and I will be with my friends doing activities. In September, before starting 2^nd Batxillerat I will go to famous parties with my friend, Carla.

I really want to have a breaktime from homework and studying. 

My evaluationof 1st Batxillerat

This year has been very stressful and hard. At first, I was a little bit nervous because I didn’t know how it would be or if I would have to repeat the year. But now, I think it’s like 5 of ESO with a lot of homework and double exams.

I have chosen the best path for me, Sciences. I really like them and I enjoy the units. For example: Biology and Chemistry. I don’t know what I will do in the coming years, but I’m happy this way because I don’t like Economics or Humanities, and I wouldn’t enjoy then or learn anything. Now it’s the end of term and first Batxillerat and we have a lot of exams. I hope that I can do then without any fails. I have all the subjects passed, but this term is the final one and it’s more difficult. I will finish my classes in June, but I have the research project, so I want to do it in summer or move it forward.

I hope that my 2^nd Batxillerat will be with the same people from my class, because we have bonded, and the year could be like the first one.

Oral Presentation - Axolotl

On the 9th May, Marina and me did the oral presentation about animals in danger of extinction. Specifically, we did axolotl. It isn't a common animal, so we decided to do it because we were sure that nobody would know about it. 

My first impression of finishing my presentation was that I did it very well, I was very sure of myself and not embarassed. I think it has been the best presentation of the three we have done this year. When I saw the video, I found some mistakes I did, for example some words I pronunced wrong, I tried to look at the whole class, but in the video I saw that Most of the time I was looking at the teacher. But a part from mistakes, I didn't read so I think it is a good point for me, because I prepaired it before.

Sant George's night

It was a really good day. During the day I was at the school studying and in the afternoon, I was doing my homework and then, at 8 pm I went to sing with my choir. I sing with Fato, Marina, Homa and Joana. That night we had a concert because it was a special or important date in the year for Catalonia. We had to wear a black T-shirt and black trousers, with different accesories for each song we sang. We sang 7 songs; one in Euskera, three songs in Catalan, twice in English, and another one in "Suahili". In the middle of our songs, some people of Sant Pere Pescador were reciting poems and doing a little theatre. It was really good and the people really liked it so much. In my opinion, this concert was one of our best concerts we have done.

A posh phone call!

Pep Guardiola to end reign as Barcelona coach in summer

PepGuardiola will stand down as Barcelona manager at the end of the season after deciding not to renew his rolling one-year contract.

The 41 year-old, who was appointed in 2008 and has led the Catalan club to 13 trophies, will be succeeded by current assistant Tito Vilanova.

Guardiola says: “the reason is simple: four years is enough”, “I’m drained and need to fill up. The demand has been very high and a manager must be strong”.

I’ve chosen this news because it is on the front of all the newspapers, on the internet, on all the TV channels…etc, and it is important for all the Catalans who are fan club. I feel sad because he has done history here in FCB, and I like him and his way of being, his way to do and his thinking. All fans will be unmotivated to see the best coach leaves here, and even more, the players, who have been colleagues for four years. I think he doesn’t want to leave because, here, he has his house and his life, but the famous people have to move because here, he has done a particularly good work, and he wants to do that in another place and grow up the new team.

Blind

“Blind”mice eyesight treated with transplanted cells

British scientists have restored the sight of blind mice by transplanting light-sensitive photoreceptor cells into their eyes.

The work is a step towards a new treatment for patients with degenerative eye diseases.

Institute of Ophtalmology says: we’re hopeful that we will soon be able to replicate this success with photoreceptors derived from embryonic stem cells and eventually to develop human trials”.

But although the results appear promising, there are still many steps to go. For example, more animal studies will be needed before such a technique would be tried with humans.

In my opinion, I think this advance of the vision is very important for the blind. Over time they can see what really is happening ahead, will be independent and be freer with themselves.

Apart from other serious diseases and transplantation, I think the vision is very important. You can live without seeing but it deprives them of many things. And I believe that blind people are very brave and strong, because I don’t know what to do if you couldn’t see the floor, unable to see my family, and if I couldn’t see what my eyes see every day.
