Re-write the exam composition

"Time is your enemy. It will steal everything away from you".

Do you think time is your enemy? In general, people think that it's particulary true but they don't have a clear answer.

First of all, the time never stops, never goes faster or slower, it is on its way. Consequently, if I want that my childhood goes fast to enter to my adulthood it's impossible because the time teaches you that you have to pass for all those days and experiences at the same time than the rest of the other days of your life.

It can also be argued that time will steal everything from you, because if you like doing something or you have friends and you love them, they never will go away from you, if you are not bad with them or if you don't permit it. however is true that the experiences you have lived, are not going to happen in the same time and space.

To sum up, I firmly believe that you only have to live extremely and enjoy your adventures because you never know what you will find, don't you?

SUMMER PARADISE

My last summer was really stressful. I did a lot of things. First of all, when I finished 1^st of Batxillerat, I started to work on a summer camp, taking care of children at the age of three, four and five years old. I was working in the mornings all of July, and at the afternoons I was working in a Paintball. I really enjoyed this month because I like being stressed, but the next month was better than July. In august, I didn’t work in a job, but I particularly worked in my schools’ project of 2^nd Batchillerat. I have learned a lot because it’s an interesting topic for me. My project is about the apples of Sant Pere Pescador, in particular. Apart from working, I have seen a lot of friends that I didn’t see for months. We really enjoyed the beach, the swimming pool, going by boat, going out at nights and also to different towns’ festivals. On the last party of the summer, I went to a small town festival. I go there every year and it’s amazing. You have to dress up like Carnival and other different activities, too. I love go there because all the residents take part on the festival and they do it together.

The end of the summer was sad because I didn’t want to start school. Now, I’ve just started and I hope that those quarters will be easy and quick, although I know it’s not true.

Lovely summer, goodbye until the next one!

FINAL REFLECTION

First of all, I think that my 1st Batxillerat has been very good and I'm proud of my improvement. I have worked very hrd and I tried to do th best of myself to improve y Engish and my marks.

Observing my work on the blog and in the exams I have increased a lot grammar and vocabulary from a lot of places (news, books, oral presentations...). And, I also think my oral fluency is the skill I have improved the best. Rebecca and oral presentations have helped me a lot. I don't think any activities are unuseful to improve or to learn English, because all help you, bu in my case, listening to songs is a waste of time.

I have enjoyed a lot doing speking with Rebecca, reading books, doing acivities in Aula Idiomes, ... and I hope to do it next year.

I'm going to end my final evauation saying hat the ext year could be the same, because I was comfortable in the class with the teacher and the students, that they are, now, my companions.

Left outside alone

All my life I’ve been waiting/ Tota la meva vida t'he estat esperant 

For you to bring a fairy tale my way/ perquè tu em portessis un conte de fades

Been living in a fantasy without meaning/ he estat visquent en una fantasia sense sentit

It’s not okay/ no està bé

I don’t feel save/ no em sento segura

Left broken empty in despair/ em vas enfonsar en el buit de la desesperació

Wanna breath can’t find air/ vull respirar, però no trobo aire

Thought you were sent from up above/  pensava que tu em pujaves des de dalt

But you and me never had love/ però tu i jo mai hem tingut amor

So much more I have to say/ tantes coses t'he de dir

Help me find a way/ ajuda'm a trobar un camí

And I wonder if you know/ i em sorprenc si tu saps

How it really feels/ com realment se sent

To be left outside alone/ estant sola

When it’s cold out here/ quan fa fred fora d' aquí 

Well maybe you should know/ bé, potser tu sabràs

Just how it feels/ com se sent 

To be left outside alone/ estar sol

To be left outside alone/ estar sol

All my life I’ve been waiting/ tota la meva he estat esperant

For you to bring a fairy tale my way/ perquè tu em portessis un conte de fades

Been living in a fantasy without meaning/ he estat visquent en una fantasia sense sentit

It’s not okay/ no està bé

I don’t feel save/ no em sento segura

I need to pray/ necessito resar

Why do you play me like a game?/ per què em tractes com un joc?

Always someone else to blame/ sempre algú més a qui culpar

Careless, helpless little man/ sense cures, sense ajudes petit home

Someday you might understand/ algun dia potser entendràs

There’s not much more to say/no hi ha gaire res a dir

But I hope you find a way/ però espero que trobis un camí

Still I wonder if you know/ encara em sorprenc que sàpigues

How it really feels/ com se sent

To be left outside alone/ estant sol

When it’s cold out here/ quan és fred fora d'aquí

Well maybe you should know/ bé, potser hauries de saber

Just how it feels/ només com se sent 

To be left outside alone/ estar sol

To be left outside alone/ estar sol

I’ll tell you/ t'explicaré

All my life I’ve been waiting/ tota la meva he estat esperant

For you to bring a fairy tale my way/ perquè tu em portessis un conte de fades

Been living in a fantasy without meaning/ he estat visquent en una fantasia sense sentit

It’s not okay/ no està bé

I don’t feel save/ no em sento segura

I need to pray:/ necessito resar:

Heavenly Father/ Pare celestial

Please/ siusplau

Save me/ salva'm

And I wonder if you know/ i em sorprenc si tu saps

How it really feels/ com realment se sent

To be left outside alone/ estant sola

When it’s cold out here/ quan és fred fora d'aquí

Well maybe you should know/ bé, potser hauries de saber

Just how it feels/ només com se sent 

To be left outside alone/ estar sola

To be left outside alone/ estar sola

It’s not okay/ no està bé 

I don’t fell save/ no em sento segura

I need to pray/ necessito resar

My first day on the beach

Yesterday, when I left from classes, Marina and I were very tired and very hot because of the weather. When we were coming home, we decided to go to the beach. We didn’t know who will carry us, but we wanted to do the first tan.

When we arrived, anyone was at home, so we decided to go by bike. We were riding for 20 minutes approximately and at last, we arrived on the beach. I really wanted to have the first bath because I love the sea but I am a bit afraid to it. At first, the water was cold but then, when you are all inside it’s the best. There weren’t any jellyfishes, so I could swim.:) After half an hour, I went to sunbathe for a long time.

It was particularly fine because I could relax and think. I hope I could repeat that day with Marina!

Brownie

Today I’m going to tell you something about me and then I’ll put here a recipe.

Well, I like cooking, specifically make the desserts but I don’t know so much. If some day I have to prepare the lunch or the dinner to my family, I use to cook easy dishes like Italian pasta (macaroni, spaghettis …) or rice with a little bit of tuna, tomatoes, corn, egg, cheese, some olives etc., vegetables boiled, cheeps, salads, meat or fish and more, but not complicated dishes.

Now, it’s coming the season (summer) I have to cook the lunch very often, because my parents work and they can’t make it.

I make these and other cakes with my sister because she knows a lot, more than me.

The dessert I make often is the brownie which is much known in England and more places of the world. The essential ingredients of this dessert are the chocolate and the walnut… it’s very good.

Here, I leave brownie’s recipe if someone can make it or if he/she doesn’t know it.

Ingredients: 

-80g of fondant chocolate

-125g of butter

-2 eggs

-150g of sugar

-60g of flour

-100g of walnuts

Preparation:

1. Melt the chocolate with the butter (to the bain-marie). Take off the recipient from the fire and to stop to cool.

2. Beat the eggs with the sugar until they are creamy and add the molten chocolate.

3. Incorporate, little by little, the flour and the minced rudely walnuts, and mix well.

4. Lead it in a rectangular tin (mottle) smeared with butter. Introduce it in the oven (200ºC), and cook it during 20-25 minutes.

5. And taste it!

I hope that somebody try to cook this dessert ;)

Enjoy your meal.

We have almost learnt to respect our world

I agree with the idea that we have learnt to respect our world. “Respect our world” is a sentence that you can understand in many ways.

I have understood it as we don’t have to contaminate or leave our waste in the street, we don’t have to endanger animals for our benefit, even if it’s indirectly.

In my opinion, I think people have learnt to respect our world by watching TV, documentaries, reading magazines, etc., but we don’t pay attention to this because we think we are doing right, and we don’t want to correct it. I am talking in general, because we know that some people do it right, but no one is perfect and we are humans, we are wrong.

I would say in conclusion, that we produce a lot of waste, but we are going to continue in this way, because we are lazy. If we encourage it, the world would be a better place to live in.
