MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE 2010

I think that I was getting better on this year, in all areas. In the orals presentation I think that my freedom, my pronunciation and my vocabulary are better as well the podcast because the last one is much better than the podcast of last year because I’m not so nervous to talk. About the exams, it’s more complicated and I think I have maked a good progress for this course, and in the last review I got a 6. In the writing I was learning a lot of the new expressions.

For me “English class” is the best your say that I made in this course and the oral presentation “My research project”, part of the second term. As regard the activities more helpful I think that the blog, although it’s difficult. Help because is the fifty per cent of the mark, you have time to prepare yourself and also improve the level of English of the person in general, and with the oral presentation you can improve the vocabulary, pronunciation, the nervous, attention, etc.

I think that all the activities of the course are good, because if not it doesn’t exist. Of course all the activities are helpful, for example reding, listening, the activities that we do in the Idiom Class.

In general it seems all good and you learn a lot. But the more funny is the Blog, because you can give your opinion about a lot of subjects. I think apart from to be a interesting is more important for learning and is a good opportunity to get a good mark because you have a long time to do it.

I have been happy to do again "your says" and augment my level of English a little bit.

PONTIAC GTO

Pontiac gto is a car of 1965 and is an incredible car. The engine is very big with 360 CV and recorded 0–97 km/h in 5.8 seconds.

I like this car because I like very the American cars because have an incredible power, are very beutiful car and you can crazy with it and also be faster.

In my opinion the Pontiac gto are very beatiful because have a chameleon paint and aesthetics are diferent to the rest. I'm surpriced with this car because although is old, isn't ugly and undeveloped, therefore is spectacular achievements with this car.

In conclusion Gto is my favourite car along with Shelby Mustang GT 500 and my dream is to have one of these.

My Dogs

My favorite animal is the dog specially because is a intelligent animal, I have two German Shepherd , he´s very playful and cheerful. I really like the dogs because I think that are very funny, naughty and can will be your best friend.

I have two dogs, the father and his son, they are the ones of photography and are incredibles. Their names are Rex and Many and their age five years and two months.

I chose these dogs because the German Shepherd breed is incredible, most of these dogs are very respectful and disciplined.

In my opinion I have two incredible dogs and they keep me company and for me are the best dogs in the world.

DESCRIPTION OF MY HOUSE

I live on a Mesones street . It' s the more important street of my town and also is beautiful street where each house is old.

There are benches, trees and plants everywhere. The number 25 is my house. If you look my house you would know which one is.

The are two garages but at the third plant the living room is the first room when entering the house. This room is big, and there are many furniture.

Furthermore there are three more rooms. My brother room is just as big and have a red colour. Parents room is also decorated with old furniture, for example have a trunk of the great grandfather of my mum.

My room is the most important because when I come home from work or school, I spend most of my time in my room. I remember, when I was little, I was always sent to my room. My room is covered with band posters and also there are a many photos on my wall.

In conclusion I have a confortable house and I don't want another.

MOTO GP

MotoGP is the world showpiece motorcycle speed mode. Since 4 years ago I see this competition and I really like because is very exciting, and also I have so much fun.

Before watching Moto GP I saw Formula 1 and also was exciting but after, was boring because ever won the same and my favourite pilot Fernando Alonso didn't win.

On the other hand my favourite Pilot of Moto GP is Jorge Lorenzo because he's crazy and therefore he risks much and for me, is incredible his way of driving beacause is different to the rest.

Furthermore Moto GP have different categories, depend of the engine and there are three categories 125cc, 400cc and 800cc.

In my opinion is a good sport and also interesting, I think that If you see this competition you will like and you will enjoy a lot, because in racing can happen anything and can change all.

Los Delinquentes(offenders)

This is my favourite music group and the name is offenders, they have this name because there are a lot naughty. Is a Spanish group and components from Andalucía doing incredible rumba music.

At first had one more singer and his name was Miguel but he died in 2004 with 21 years old because he ingested a drug.

He was he was a better singer than the singer of now but the current singer works hard on stage and writing songs.

I have seen this group two times, the first in my village in Jaén and the other in Figueres and I had fun a lot because is spectacular because they encourage the public.

In my opinion is a group that have worked harder and they have been very successful and now, they still have it.

In conclusion this is a interesting group and I hope that you can listen another song from them.

Japan's disaster

Last 11th of march 2011 was a tsunami in the Eastern of Japan and distroy the coast of Japan.

The tsunami swept everything found and caused that the people died, were approximately 6400 but there are missing persons.

Still some people died because they don't have food or drinking water and neither a place to live.

Appart of this problem have had another problem more dangerous and is the nuclear power station, because the tsunami caused a problem in Fukushima and the refrigeration system didn't work. For this reason the Japan's government is concerned with this problem because the Power Station can exploit and this could cause nuclear pollution.

I think that the nuclear energy is neccessary to have to live like today but is dangerous and I don't like a lot because the same earthquake can occur here in Europe If the tectonics plates move.

Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic is a country to South America and is a well place to pass a good holidays. Moreover this country is very beutiful because have a lot of incredible beaches, a well culture and also I meet a men to this country.

On the other hand If I go to Dominican Republic I will see him and he can take me and we will go to the beache and Santo Domingo, the capital of this country. As Dominican Republic is the most important exporters of rum, I will buy a rum bottle because is more tasty and more cheap than Spain.

I think that Dominican Republic is a fantastic place to visit and also I never I left of Europe. In my opinion the price is expensive because is far but If you bring 1000 euros you will be the king of Dominican Republic during your holidays because you will can buy a lot of things and do whatever you like.

CRISTIANO CAN GET A RECORD?

Yesterday my favourite team Real Madrid won agains Getafe 0-4 and Cristiano Ronaldo maked three goals. This player is incredible because the last Saturday he maked four goals and this is very important to win the Golden Boot.

Now he has more goals than Messi, five specifically with 37 goals in league. Telmo Zarra ( of Atletic Club of Bilbao) and Hugo Sánchez ( for Real Madrid) have the historic record with 38 goals in league.

In my opinion I think that now is more difficult make goals in the Spanish League but I'm not sure, anyway I hope that Ronaldo will get more goals that these incredible players Zarra and Sánchez and will be difficult to break this record.

For me Ronaldo is a extraordinary football player and no one like him. Let's go Ronaldo you can get this!

A song

Eminem - 8mile

This is the song of the 8 mile film, where the main character is Eminem and this song explain a summery of his life. Somewhat the life on film is very similar to real life of Eminem, he's a person that has worked to get a Hip Hop artist.

On the other hand I like this song, because is very long and rhymes are very interesting and also he say an interesting things. For me is the best rapper abroad and this song and "Lose yourself" are my favourites songs of Eminem.

In conclusion although you don't like Eminem you should listen his songs to understand the Hip Hop and his talent.

Eminem - 8 Mile Road

(It's okay, it's okay. I'm gonna make it anyway.) Sometimes I just feel like Quittin I still might Why do I put up this fight? Why do I still write? Sometimes it's hard enough steal from the real life Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics And show these people what my level of skill's like But I'm still white Sometimes I just hate life Somethin ain't right Hit the breaklights In case of the stage fright Draw on the blank light (Uhh, But if I fall, It ain't my fault, Breakin eyeballs, Myinsides crawl) And I clam up (SMASH!) I just slam shut I just can't do it My whole manhood's just been stripped I've just been ripped So I must been dipped Or the bustin split Man fuck this shit yo I'm goin the fuck home Rollin my shoulders as I run back to this 8 Mile Rd. (Chorus) I'm a man I'ma make a new plan Time for me to stand up and travel new land Time for me to just to take matters into my own hands Once I'm over these tracks man I'ma never look back (8 Mile Rd.) And I'm gone I don't like where I'm goin Sorry mama I've grown I must travel alone Ain't no followin no footsteps I'm makin my own Only way I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Rd. Walkin these traintracks Tryin to regain back the spirit I have 'Fore I go back to the same crap (SMASH!) To the same plant And the same pants Tryin to chase rap Gotta move A.S.A.P. Get a new plan Mama's got a new man Poor little baby sister She don't understand Sits in front of the TV, bury's her nose in the pad And just colors until the crayon gets dull in her hand While she colors her big brother, her mother, and dad Ain't no tellin what really goes on in her little head Wish I could be the daddy that neither one of us had But I keep runnin from somethin I never wanted so bad Sometimes I get upset Cuz I ain't blew up yet It's like I grew up, but I aint grownin two nuts yet Don't gotta rap my step Don't got enough pep The pressure's too much man I'm just tryin to do what's best And I try Sit alone and I cry Yo I won't tell a lie Not a moment goes by That I don't pray to the sky Please I'm beggin you God Please don't let me be pigeon holdin on regular job Yo I hope you can hear me hommie Wherever you are Yo I'm tellin you dog I'm bailin this trailor tomorrow Tell my mother I love her Kiss baby sister goodbye Say whenever you need me baby I'm never too far But yo, I gotta get out there The only way I know And I'ma do that for you On the second that I blow On everything I own I'll make it on my own Off to work I go Back to this 8 Mile Rd. (Chorus) Ya gotta live it to feel it If you didn't you wouldn't get it We'll see what the big deal is Why it wasn't, it still is To be walkin this border line of Detroit city's limit It's different, it's a certain significant certificate ofauthenticity You'd never even see But it's everything to me It's my credibility You've never seen, heard, smell, or met an MC Who's incredible and on the same pedistool as me But check Still unsigned Havin a rough time Sit on the porch with all my friend's who kick dumb rhymes Go to work And servin MC's in the lunch line But when it come's crunch time Where do my punch lines go? Who must I show? To bust my flow? Where must I go? Who must I know? Or am I just another crab in the bucket Cuz I ain't havin no luck with this little rabbit so fuck it Maybe I need a new outlit I'm startin to doubt shit I'm feelin a little scepticle Of who I hang out with I look like a bum Yo my clothes ain't about shit At the Salvation Army Tryin to salvage and outfit And it's cold Tryin to travel this road Plus I feel like I'm only stuck in this battlin mode My defenses are so up And one thing I don't want Is pity from no one The city is no fun There is no sun And it's so dark Sometimes I feel like I'm just being pulled apart Being torn in my limbs By each one of my friends Enough to just make me wanna jump outta my skin Sometimes I feel like a robot Sometimes I just know not what I'm doin I just blow My head is a stove top I just explode The kettle gets so hot Sometimes my mouth just overloads the acid I don't got But I've learned It's time for me to U-Turn Yo it only takes one time for me to get burnt Ain't no fallin No next time Imeet a new girl I can no longer play stupid Or be immature I've got every ingredient All I need is the courage Like I already got to beat All I need is the words Got the urge Suddenly its a search Suddenly a new verse of energy has occured Time to show these free world leaders Three in the third I am no longer scared now I'm free as a bird And I turn and cross over The median curb Hit the burbs and all you see is a blur on 8 mile rd. (Chorus)

Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the intentional killing of a dependent human being, supposedly for his or her benefit. This can be both by act or by omission. Euthanasia often arises polemic between the people that defend it and those who are against it.

I agree to this practise because is the person that want to pass to another life. I disagree therefore with the merciful who say that a person's life is very important, is true but I think that the person suffering a disease must decide What to do with his life and also inhuman suffer so.

In my opinion government must change the law there nowdays because I think it isn't well thought, is a one thing with which I disagree but isn't the only.

I hope that the new government change this law because is insane to let a person suffer so, and also I hope that my friends give their opinion about this problem and and comment on my blog.

DESCRIPTION OF A FRIEND

Her name is Ana. She is 19. She lives in Málaga and studies second batxillerat of social. She has long brown hair, her eyes are brown and his mouth is normal.

Ana isn't very tall but she is thin and has an exellent phsical, she is very beautiful. Ana is a great friend of mine. If you meet Ana she is a shy but later is a friendly and funny person.

One problem with his character is when you annoying her, she has a very hard character. In general she has a good personality.

She is hardworking and competitive, but sometimes when she hasn't got desire to do nothing he prefers sleeping and have a good time. She is also intelligent. If you want to have a fun time you have to go with him.

In my opinion I think that I have a similar character. In general Ana is a great friend and is a person that never fails you.

FORMAL LETTER

World Nuclear Organization Spain
Chemicals st. La Piruleta

Dear Mr. Ritch


I think that nowadays the Nuclear Power is very important to us because the people need energy to have light, for the computers to work, in general to live in heaven.

In Japan there are many problems now with the Nuclear Energy and a lot of people died.

The problem is, when you build a Nuclear Station, I think that the level about the life that we have everyday depend to this energy and the responsability.



Moreover I think that we can end with this problem but we can not have the same life.
Finaly Nuclear Power is necessary but and also dangerous.


I look forward to hearing from you.

Your sincerely.

J.J. Tompson

2o% of the world's population consumes 80% of its resources.

20% of the world's population consumes 80% of its resources

Nowadays the world is very unbalanced, as saying reads only 20% of the world population consumes the most resources. This is together with others the problem of the poverty and is a thing to keep in mind.

The poverty is a thing that affects very people and the mass media don't show the reality of this problem, soften the reality by the word.

On the one hand the rich countries engaged in abuse of resources and just use and throw this instead of provide assistance to undeveloped countries that need to live in fine fettle.

On the other hand we spend on wars much money with which the poverty would be finished, for example the war to USA vs Irak only for oil.

I think that is possible to finish the poverty but the rich people don't want and therefore the undeveloped countries will have no resources to live.

Carlos Sainz

Carlos Sainz was a Rallye races pilot and nowadays he runs a Rallye Dakar. He won the Rallyes world champion in 1990 and 1992. Moreover in 2010 won the Rallye Dakar and his converted in the first spanish person to get this title. For me Carlos is a very good pilot and very technical because he runs the risk although the car to be a dreadful car. But Carlos has bad luck and he must have won more titles.

I think that he was the best rallye racer in history and will never another racer with this quality.

A song

MY HEART WILL GO ON
(Love Theme from Titanic)
by Celine Dion

Every night, in my dreams,
I see you, I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.
Far, across the distance
And spaces between us,
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you opened the door.
And you're here in my heart.
And my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time,
And last for a lifetime.
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you,
One true time to hold on to.
In my life, we'll always go on.

Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you opened the door.
And you're here in my heart.
And my heart will go on and on.

You're here, there's nothing I fear.
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay, forever this way.
You are safe in my heart.
And my heart will go on and on.


I chose this song because is a incredible song, Celine Dion is a well singer and this song makes you think in love.

The weather of Granada

I have been in Granada one year. I have seen the winter, spring, summer, and fall.

In winter is so beautiful. The mountains are covered with a lot of snow and is good to practise ski.

In Spring is a place to lose, because you can see the green colour of mountains and you can visit the interesting places characteristics in Granada.

The summer in Granada is very hot everyday. When I was walking in the streets, it was like walking in an oven and I burned my skin
.
I had a problem in winter because I did not take very winter clothes, my friends to Granada says to me that in Granada have very good weather but in winter the cold is intense.

In the fall the weather in Granada is very strange. One day sun and other day snow, you can't know the weather of tomorrow.

In conclusion Granada was very interesting place and I hope you can visit this place because you will can smell the peace that you breathe.

Description of a footballplayer

DENILSON

He was very knon footballer and he played in Real Betis, Girondins of Burdeos, Flamengo, Al-Nasr, FC Dallas and Palmeiras.

Denilson was very technical player and when he stayed in Real Betis was the best footballer in the world, but his career was not very good.

About his personality, Denilson was very friendly, very joker and funny because he is Brazilian.

He was born in Diana, Brasil in 1977 and his fullname is Denilson de Oliveire Araújo.

His height was 1,78 metres, his weith 80 kg. He very fast in the field and he played with the ball therefore his nickname was "cintura de jebe", Denilson broke the opposites and was a footballshow.

I chose this description because Denilson was very simillar to my favourite footballer Robinho and is an example to follow.

Lexus LFA

The Lexus LFA is a sport car from Lexus, the luxury cars of Toyota that is a Japanese brand.

The Lexus LFA features a V10 engine, 4.8cc, six-speed and bodywork carbon fiber mostly. It's possible to buy this car but is not cheap, the price of Lexus LFA is 415,000 euros and only there 500 vehicles.

I think that this car is incredible because is very beautiful, is very faster and I like so much the Japanese cars (Toyota, Mitsubisi, Nissan, etc.).

If I was rich I buy it this car, I think that is a excellent car to have in your garage and you can go to Germany to prove this car in the roads because there aren't speed control.
