Noisy cows


A farmer in the French Alps is being taken to court because his cows are too noisy. Neighbours say the cowbells on his herd at a village near the town of Annecy are keeping them awake at night.
In recent years across France there's been a series of law-suits related to rustic nuisances such as the crowing of cocks, the quacking of ducks or the clanging of church bells. So, it’s a reflection of the changing sociological face of the French provinces.

Pre-marriages courses in Arabia

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Social Affairs decides to make pre-marriage courses compulsory for prospective couples. The hope is this will cut the Kingdom's growing divorce rate, especially among young people.
In practice, divorce often hits women hardest because it's almost impossible for a divorced Saudi woman to remarry. One Saudi university study that looked into marriages found about forty percent were unhappy - with aspects of violence, cruelty and continuous disagreement.
Some people suggest that part of the problem is that Saudi men are unable to deal with a female population who is more educated and assertive. Others argue it's simply too easy to obtain a divorce if you're a man.

Computers

Computers are really appreciated machines, nowadays. The main part of the industries depends on them. The use of the internet is becoming more and more popular between young people. Now almost everybody has got a computer at home. There are no limits to the net and it is constantly offering more and more services.

Surfing the internet you can chat with a friend in the other part of the world easily, cheaply and quickly, you can send and receive e-mails, you can find information, download music or films, watch DVD films, buy anything you want, and you can even have your own home page... So these are really strong points of computers, because they help us living better.

But on the other hand, from my point of view, they have some disadvantages too; they are the culprits of the globalization and they are modernising our society in an excessive technological way. I think that the abuse of these kinds of technologies is destroying the “manufactured products” like the letters, the hand-write homework… Moreover, we must think about if we can live without them.
All of you know that it is impossible to destroy all the computers in the world because there are too many industries and particulars who need them to survive. I think that when a society depends on one product it is really dangerous, because it means that the technologies are taking too much importance in our lives.

To sum up, there are lots of different technological products who are simplifying our lives, computers is one of the most important of them. They are the result of the evolution, so, if we want to go on living in a modern and rich country, we have to accept all the technological changes the world is suffering.
I think that we are living in the computer and robots century.

Self-Evaluation

I want to talk about my first oral presentation of this term. As all of you, I have recorded it, so… when I watched it I noticed that I could do it really better. I was really nervous and I looked many times at the paper. I think that the most important problem was that I didn’t love the topic. It’s true that Claudia and I have chosen it, but I think that we have done it really bad, because we could choose something more interesting or funny. I think that if we were more interested in the topic we would do it really better.

From my point of view, on one hand we spent lot of time writing and preparing this oral presentation, and I think that it is the worst I have done, but on the other hand, I think that I wasn’t static and meanwhile I was talking I started getting more comfortable and I think that when I concluded I was more relaxed and I have done it really better than at the beginning of the presentation.

To finish, I recognize that after comparing the presentation I did on the first term of first Batxillerat, I can see a great improvement.

Shark blood may help to fight cancer


Australian scientists have found that shark blood could contain a weapon in the fight against cancer. Sharks have immune systems similar to humans and researchers believe that their biological and chemical defences could help to slow the spread of certain diseases.

Sharks were chosen for the project because they have robust immune systems and rarely succumb to infections. There is evidence that their antibodies can slow the spread of breast cancer.

Oral Prsentation!

Hello everybody, what comes to your mind when you listen this song?


As you know we use to do the orals presentations together, and we normally talk about different topics related with us, but today we are going to talk about different kinds of marriage, so, we have had to do the oral in a different way, overall because we aren’t involved in the topic.

The marriage is the strongest expression of love, sure that some people think that love is one long sweet dream and marriage is the alarm clock… but we don’t think so, always, if you choose the correct person and you if you don’t do it because of money.
In the old societies, unlikely, most of the formal unions of a couple were arranged. Are you thinking about Pride and Prejudice? So, well done, because it is one of the best examples of this kind of marriages.

In all the cultures, the wedding is influenced by family, social and religious aspects.
But all of you know that this is not the most important thing to get a good marriage. The party, from our point of view, is the less important thing in this ambit, so, the most important is the feelings of the boy and girlfriend, and of course, their love. We think like that because we live in a modern country, where love is expressed liberally, but we have not to forget that in some towns of our world arrange marriage continues being the most popular one in their society.
All societies have different ways to prepare young people to their marriage life. Years ago, the family was who teach to the youngest of the house the values of the love and of the couple. During our life, we receive a lot of information from our society about what it is supposed the man and the woman, so you can observe that more or less everybody in the same country, act in a similar way.
This is another important point which is reflected in pride’s and prejudice, because there you can see that in spite of being from a different social class, all of them act in the same way in front of different situations.
By the way, how you know each society celebrate weddings in a different kinds of ceremonies and in our oral presentation we want show you some ones.

INDIAN WEDDINGS

The first one which we want to talk about is the Indian wedding, which we thing that is really interesting and very different from European marriages, you will see: to the diversity of Indian culture, the wedding style vary depending on the state, the region, the religion… while the Christians of India usually follow a more or less Western wedding ceremony, the Indian Hindus, Muslims, follow traditions really different from the west.
We are going to talk about the traditional Hindu wedding, because we think that is nicest:


Before the wedding day, the bride’s parents travel to the groom’s place to formalize the relationship. A really big party is organized by the boyfriend’s family to celebrate this occasion. Typically, only the men relatives are allowed to come to this celebration, female relatives are not present. After this stage, wedding is arranged and the groom and the bride start to prepare all they need for the wedding party.
Wedding ceremony
Varmala/Jaimala: this is the next phase of the ceremony. This stage normally takes place late in the nigh, often starting at midnight and lasting until the early hour’s morning. We think that this is a really nice tradition, we really love night’s weddings.
The main part of the wedding takes place normally in a garden, where there is a reception and a feast, this part is accompanied by the groom arriving with his family and friends in a procession. Meanwhile he is walking, the bride used to wait for him in the ceremony.
Immediately after the groom has arrived, the couple meets and exchange garlands in another ceremony. During this ceremony food is served and the guests present gifts to them.
The more ritualistic part, which involves a priest, is the last one. We are used to do it different because in our weddings the religious part is normally the first one.
After eating, the groom and the bride sit beside the fire and the priest chants, in this moment the groom and the bride exchange their feelings in front of many gods and goddesses.
In the morning, the couple has a final breakfast in the girl’s house; she leaves her parents’ house at the end escorted by the groom. Traditionally this phase is accompanied by the bride’s family tears, and sometimes, they throw white rice.
So, if we compare the Indian wedding with our, we noticed that it’s largest than the Spanish ceremony, and they give lot of importance to the tradition and religion.

On the other hand, we want to talk about the ARABIC WEDDING, particularly the Muslim wedding.
This kind of marriage is strongly linked to the culture and religion, and as you know, most of the marriages in the Arabian world are arranged, because when a man sees a woman and he likes her, he tells his mother about her and his family starts asking about her family and starts working like a detective. The family of the bride takes care of the money and the social status of the groom’s family. So, if the man is rich and he comes from a traditional family, the family of the bride will accept the engagement.
As you can see, it’s like in pride and prejudice because the families, who have a daughter, have to accept the marriage proposal because women can’t work so they can’t earn money, and that’s the reason why they have to try to marriage with rich men. It’s obvious that Muslims live in an old fashioned society.
One of the main characteristic of this fixed weddings, is that the first date takes place in the bride’s house. There, the mothers first meet, and they talk during hours, meanwhile the bride and the groom sit in one place next to them, but where they can’t listen to their mothers speaking. After this first meeting, if both families agree with the wedding, the men of the groom’s family come to the bride’s home; there they meet all the men who are the bride’s relatives. The eldest men of the groom’s side makes a speech asking for the bride’s hand and after that the bride’s father makes another speech saying yes.
Then, they drink and eat to celebrate the engagement.
A few days later, the official ceremony takes place and the bride and the groom become wife and husband. The ceremony is like the proposal party but it is considered more official because it is in front of God.
Then there is the Henna night, where the bride’s female friends join at a house party called Henna, that includes food, drinks, and a lot of dancing and a woman draws Henna on the bride’s and guests’ palms and feet.
In the wedding, the bride and the groom sit in the Kosha that consists in two comfortable seats in front of the guests and where the bride and the groom switch rings. With this ritual, the festivities begin.
Usually there is a belly dancer or a singer- and in modern weddings,sometimes a disc jockey- that entertains the guests, who will dance and sing with the new wed couple and the groom is usually tossed in the air by his friends.
Then the bride and the groom cut the cake. After that the bride throws her flower bouquet behind her back; the female that catches it is lucky, because she will be the next to marry.
Next, the couple open the buffet for the guests, that usually consists on salads, meats, stews, fruits and other Arabian dishes. After that, the wedding party is over. The new wed couple usually stay a night or two at the hotel.


To conclude, we must say that there are lots of different kinds of wedding around the world, but we decided to choose only two because we want to explain them at all, and we haven’t enough time to talk about the others.
We imagine you know other traditional weddings, and in fact, every society has its tradition but nowadays, most of them have a common characteristic because in the modern societies people marry because of love and that’s a great improve between the pride and prejudice times.
Can you imagine that your parents force you to marry someone?
This is one of the worst things can happen to a person, We can imagine it!

- Is humour necessary to survive?

- Is humour necessary to survive?


I’m sure that it is true; what do you think when you knew a person which always is sad and never smiles, I believe that you will think that he or she is a really boring person. So, in my opinion, humour is really necessary to survive and life will be really harder if it disappears.
The first reason is that humour is a different way to contact with the people, and it helps us to know new persons.
The second benefit of humour is that it gives some fun in our lives. Nowadays, we are living in a really stressed society and we always need a bit of distraction and amusement.
The last reason is that it helps us to overcome the hard situations of life. These problems will be bigger if we couldn’t take them with a bit of humour.

So, we have to be grateful with the people who always try to make us smile. I think we can find these persons in every class and they help us to survive each day of school. And, as I said before, we have to take care of humour because if it disappears, fun, amusement, happiness… will disappear with it.

I have spent the whole summer working at home. We have got some fields and a farm; so I have been working as a farmer. I used to get up at half past seven in the morning and I stop working at one o’clock, in the afternoon I started at three o’clock and I finished at six or seven o’clock.

Observing your portfolio, can you see an improvement on your level of English since September?

Yes, maybe I try to use more connectors and my writings are better. But I think that in the third term we had done the blog and the portfolio quickly, because we need time to study and that is the reason why it's difficult to see an improvement.
But as I wrote before, I think that now I can write better and quickly than in the first term.

Whitch activities did you enjoy doing and would you like to do again next year?

My favourite activities are the dialogue and the speaking ones. I don't know why, but I like to record my dialogue and then listen to it, maybe because I can hear my pronunciation and that helps me to improve it. And about speaking, I recognise that I love talking and that's one of the reasons why I enjoy this activity. But I give importance to speaking because if we travel to England or to the EEUU, it's really important!

Witch activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not?

-In my opinion the most unuseful activities are the blog and the portfolio ones.
Although I recognize that they help us to improve our writing ,we spend lots of hours on them and we can’t see all of our mistakes. It's a laborious task and doing the posts we have less time to study for the exams.

Witch activities were really useful for you to improve your English?

-Personally I think that the most useful activity is speaking because if we travel abroad, for example, it’s very important to communicate. And if we know how to speak, it means that we have a good grammar and vocabulary level. So, from my point of view, the speaking with Annika and with the teachers are the most useful activities we have done.

Witch activity best shows your level of English?

-In my opinion it’s difficult because in my case I have different levels, depending on the skills, if I am listening, speaking, reading or writing.
So, the best way to show my level is taking a complete exam , because I have to do it without the book, the dictionary…

Opinion essay

We have almost learnt to respect our World, do you agree?

I think we don’t really know how important is our world and we don’t respect it enough.
If we continue behaving like that, we will not know where to live in twenty years.

In my opinion it’s really difficult to answer this question, because there are lots of different kinds of people. On the one hand, there are some cultures who really respect the planet, and on the other hand there are lots of people who don’t know what respect is.

So… we haven’t learnt to respect our planet, but we must learnt to keep it safe.

Dialogue.

The dialogue, Marina Sarquella & Carles Torracabota.

G=guy

A young guy goes to a sailing school and he talks with a woman about the activities that he can practise there :

G:Hi!! Good morning!!
W: Good morning!
G: Is this a sailing school?
W: Yes, of course!! What do you need?
G: Oh, I would like to come with my friends and we want to do something funny.
W: Ok…well, we have some funny activities like windsurfing, kayak…and some kinds of different boats.
G: Ok, more or less we will be…eleven or twelve…Which activity do you think that could be better for us?
W: If you are eleven…maybe you would enjoy a windsurfing course.
G: That sounds good!! How much does it cost?
W: It depends on the time that you want to spend.
G: We want to spend the whole afternoon here!
W: Ok! So , maybe it will be better if you go sailing.
G: What’s that?
W: Well…we give you a boat and an instructor will teach you to sail.
G: and…Is it possible to book it for tomorrow?
W: Yes, it’s ok. So…tomorrow we will talk about the prize.
G: Perfect! See you tomorrow!
W: Byee!!!

Exam opinion essay improved.

TOO MUCH IMPORTACE IS GIVEN TO TAKING EXAMS AT SCHOOL. DO YOU AGREE?


Exams are the exercise that show better our level in one subject, because during the test there is nobody who can tell us how we can do the exercises. So, if a teacher wants to know our knowledge in his subject he/she must make an exam. In my opinion, tests help us to improve our level.

The first reason why we have to take exams is because if we want to get a good mark, we have to study. If we don’t take exams probably we won’t study, so why should we come to school?
The second reason is that meanwhile we are answering an exam we have to be concentrated and we have to control our nerves and this is really important, because that will help us in our labour life.
The last reason is that exams are a motivation for us. If we haven’t exams we won’t listen carefully during the classes, because nobody will ask us about that. So, as I wrote before, tests improve our level.

To sum up, I think that the exams are really important in our studies, and if we don’t take the tests, the education will disappear with them.

My last oral presentation !

In my opinion this is the worst oral presentation I have done during first of Batxillerat. I don't know why but I was really nervous and I think I didn't take care enough about pronunciation but I think we had done a beautiful and original power point and it helped us during the presentation.

So I recognize that I hadn't prepared it enough and the mark shows that.

Million dolar baby !

This is one of the best films I have ever seen, because there are lots of good actors, such as Hilary Swang and Morgan Freeman. The film is about a girl who wants to practice boxing. She trains a lot, but she doesn't find a trainer who wants to introduce her to the competition.

I really like it because the fights are very real, and I feel very excited meanwhile I was watching it.

Self-Evaluation.

Today I want to talk about my last oral presentation, I have done it with Claudia, and we talked about our trip to England.
We have chosen this topic because we had really enjoyed these holidays there, and we wanted to explain to all the people how interesting England could be. Another important fact to make a great presentation is to love the topic and to prepare it, and we have done both things. That’s another reason why we have chosen our holidays to talk about.

We have explained the places we visited and we talked about the English food, so, we dealt with different cultural things about England and the English people.
In my opinion I did it better than the first presentation, maybe because the experience make me feel better and my nerves disappeared, or perhaps doing the oral presentation in pairs helped us to feel more comfortable.

Dear Lluïsa

We write to you because we want to make a proposal to change some important things of the high school.
On the one hand we think that if you paint the grey walls of the high school, in our opinion we will work more comfortable.
On the other hand we want to ask you if it’s possible that when a teacher can not come to the class, although the lesson is not the first or the last hour the students of Batxillerat could be allowed to go out.

Finally we want to say that we are really satisfied with the technological llevel of the high school


Yours sincerely

Carles Torracabota and Baldiri Gironella

The film.

I have spent most of the hours in the computers so... I haven't watched a film. I started watching "thirteen" but I didn't finish it, so I'm going to talk about the few things I know about this film.

The main character is a thirteen years old girl, and all the film is related to the relation between she and her mother and about drugs, sex and petty crime.

In my opinion it’s an interesting film, but I didn’t like it.

Oral presentation!

I have got some problems with the video, and I can't load it because I recorded it with my mobile phone, so I'm sorry but this term I only write the text of the presentation!!
And the photos are the pictures I showed you in my PowerPoint!




First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name’s Carles as you already know, I’m sixteen years old and I live in a small village called Vilamacolum. Here you can see a photo of the village. is near Sant Pere Pescador, and we are five hundred of people living there. I really like this small village because it’s really quiet and you know all the people who live here.







I have got lots of hobbies but my passion is motorcycling. Before talking about it I will tell you what I do most of the weekends. We are a group of friends, approximately 20.
We usually do lots of different things for example, going to the cinema or going for a ride with our motorbikes, and most of the days we stay in Can Creixell the whole afternoon.
On Saturday night, we usually meet at Ruki’s bar in St Pere Pescador and then we decide where we go.

As I told you before, my favourite sport is motorcycling.
I’ve got my new motorbike since last September. I usually take it every day, but when I really enjoy it is on Saturdays, when we go to different places. For example last weekend we went to Requesens castle. In my opinion this is a really funny sport because when we go for a ride together we see really beautiful landscapes and if you go with your friends you really enjoy these trips.
Now, we are building a motocross circuit and when we finish it we will train there.


Related with the motorbike topic, I’m going to talk about Travis Pastrana. In my opinion he is the best motocross rider of the world.
He has won lots of competitions not only in motocross, but he also practices lots of motorsports, rally racing, freestyle mx, motocross and supercross.
Travis was born on 1983 so now he is twenty-four years old.
At fourteen he won his first world championship. And he has been the inventor of lots of new freestyle tricks. The most spectacular trick that he had done is the double backflip; he was the first rider who do it. At the 2006 X-games he did the backflip so… he won the competition.
After the X-games, Pastrana said that he had no plans to do it again.
His X-games participation ended when he injured his right knee meanwhile he was running to see his friend in the stands.

I hope you have enjoyed my oral presentation and if you have any questions….

PRESENTATION

My name is Carles and I am sixteen years old.

Most of my family live in Vilamacolum, but my uncles live in Figueres, and my grandmother lives in Castelló. We aren't a very big family; I've got two young cousins, called Maria and Júlia, and two older ones, Natàlia and Oriol. I've got a brother older than me, his name's Pau. He's twenty-two.

I've got a pet dog too; its name is Blacky. It is black, small and very nice.

In my free time I use to ride my motorbike, well... If you have visited my blog you already know that I love this sport!

I love going out at nights with my friends, but we usually go for a ride with our motorbikes on Sunday morning, so some days I have to choose between going out at night or driving my motorbike in the morning!!

Horror story

BORKING and MEWING.

Our story starts as a funny one, ten years ago, when we were six years old.
We were at the beach with our parents, the day was really good and the sun was shining as ever before.
We were swimming and playing with our ball when suddenly we heard a loud scream from a woman.
We didn’t panic but a few minuts later we heard the noise again, then our parents came for us.
We wanted to know what was happening, so we decided to escape, then we ran towards where the noise came from but nobody was there, we didn’t know what we could do: by then the evening was felling. A lot of clouds were covering the nice sky and a bit later it started to rain a lot and at the same time we heard the borking and the mewing of dogs and cats.
It was a really wierd sesation, but still more strange was when there started to fall cats and dogs from the sky.
Since that day, “it’s raining cats and dog” has been one of the most popular expressions in England.
