1. DID YOU WORK HARD? Yes, I did. I work harder at the begin of the year, now I'm a little bit tired.
2. DID YOU ORGANIZE YOUR WORK WEEK BY WEEK? Yes, I did.
3. WHAT WAS MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU? I think that more difficult is present the oral presentation correct.
4. WHAT DID YOU LEARN?( new grammar, vocab..) I learn a lot of new vocabulary, doing the work bank of the workbook. Also I learn new grammar and I think that now I can talk to the audience better than two years ago.
5. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO IMPROVE? I need practice more the conversation. I know that it's impossible with only one teacher practice a lot the conversetion, but I think that this is what I need. Also I need to learn more vocabulary and grammar.
THE ACTIVITIES Write about the different activities.Use I like/don't like.. I prefer/ My favourite..
Magazine reading and activities/dialogues/writings/DVD I think that read the magazine it's very educational, because you learn reading interesting things. Watch the DVD and do a summery it's also interesting, but there are videos that are a little bit boring. But I think that copy the writings and dialogues aren't very useful. It's only copy the dialgoue, and I think that this it's a waste of time.
Films and summaries/Oral presentation/Extra-points projects I think that watch films and do summeries of this videos it's good to imporve our capactity to explain something. Oral presentation is also good for us, because we must preapred it and explain at the audience, and you can learn a lot doing this. But I don't like extra-points projects like my recipie or narnia. I think that they waste a lot of time and they aren't very important in the mark. I think that the teacher must give importance to this projects, because, for example, in the video of Italy, there are persons who don't do it, and anyone say anything to them. Well, it's an opinion.
My blog preparation I like to do my blog because it's a potent software that give you the possiblity to upload a lot of things. I hate when the blog don't run, because the connexion is bad.
In conclusion, I think that work in the language room it's very useful and if you work hard, you'll learn a lot. Also I think that the connection with internet it's very bad and this produce that we lose a lot of time.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST ACTIVITY/ACTIVITIES THIS COURSE? (link it) My best activity was doing the video of italy with Sergi, because was beautiful and interesting remember the moments that we pass in Italy. This is the link: http://albert4t.blogspot.com/search/label/ITALY
DID YOU LIKE WORKING IN THE LANGUAGE ROOM? Yes, I like. WHY/WHY NOT? I think that it's a hour you can work hard but also it's a hour that you can relax a little bit than other hours. You learn to work independetly because anyone control what you do. http://albert4t.blogspot.com/search/label/DIARY.

My friend was in trouble yesterday and he's lucky for don't paying a fined. He'd been at a shop and was coming home with me. When we where arriving home, two police arrest him and he was accuse of robbing a CD and he said that he was all the afternoon with me.
I think that my friend was wrong to rob a CD of the shop. He isn't poor so he could buy the CD. If he'd paid the CD, he would've had less money, but he wouldn't have had any problem.
I don't think that this will happen any more. His parents are furious and they've grounded Marc for two months without receive any money. So he's probably learned the lesson now, and I think that he'll never say an other lie.
Week 3-7 Monday was free. This week we didn't have any exam, so I'm very relaxed. In general this is a normal and current week, so I haven't got anything to explain :)
Week 10-14 All the people are nervous for the exams of week of the exams. This week we have less homework than other weeks because the teachers give us time to study.
Week 17-21 The week of exams has began. We have two exams, one of FiQ and one of Socials. They won't be difficult. But in friday we have the exam of blog of Maths, and it'll be so difficult. Fortunatly I haven't go to do the exam of maths because I have more than a 7. I only have to do a easy exam.
Week 24-28 I have a 8,6 of Socials and 9,7 of maths, but I have a very bad mark of FiQ. I'm very stressed because this week we have 5 exams. EF, biology, catalan, tecnology and english. I think that catalan, Ef and tecnology won't be very difficult. But we must study a lot if we will have a good mark :)

Marc Guilana, Sergi Molina and Marc Nogué
They do a roleplay about two parents and her problematic soon. I think that the idea was very original, and they do it well, but they can prepare it a bit more. It's true that represent something to the auddience it's difficult, so it was OK.
Marc Matamala, Marc Ferrer and Franc Pedro.
They talk about Apple and Microsoft. I think that the topic was very great and interesting, but they don't say important things. It's true that they prepare the oral a lot and his power point was very beautiful, but they say a lot of numbers and names, and I don't remember a lot of things.
