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 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 :)

OTHER ORAL PRESENTATION I think that my mark is 7-8 because I make a good oral presentation, but not my better presentation. I think that I can do it more well. It's true that I don't read anything so this must be extra points.
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. All in all I think that they work hard.
Pol Masvidal, Marc Solés and Sílvia Vilaseca.
They talk about Touré Yaya and Sandra Bullok. It was an interesting oral presentation, but the power point was a little poor. I think that they were ok.
Samantha is going to show us Dublin. Dublin is the capital of Ireland. Over for million people visit Dublin. There's a lot of young people. Samantha has a Ireland family. Her grandfather says that the disease kill a lot of people and destroy the potatoes, so a lot of people die of hunger. More than one million people die. Dublin has many old beautiful buildings, one of this is Trinity College. Trinity College is about 16th Century. There's a sculpture of Oscar Wilde, the writer of Oliver Twist. Dublin is the best capital European to live.
In 1759 was built a sculpture called Wilberforce. Wilberforce fight to defend the rights and the people and to eradicate the sell of people. They buy the slaves in Africa. The ships were so small and they transport a lot of slaves. 20 % die for hunger or disease. Wilberforce make a law to protect the slavery and he can eradicate it.

He shows us the Guide Dogs Training Center and it's in Leamington Spa. We can see a interview with a trainer dog's and how they trainer a dog.

New Castle is in Britain and it's a city that have a lot of museums like DAZED or BALTIC. Sally guide us to see the Angel of the North.

It was crated by an British artist called Anthony Colony, he was living in India when he decided to do the sculpture. He receive important prices. The Angel is made of steel and weigh more than two hundred thousands kg. The people of New Castle are very proud of the Angel of the North.
I've had a problem recently. I want to go out at night and my parents say that at 9.30 I must be in my house. They are too strict because they think that I'm young, but I'm to older to return at house more later.
I'm angry because they don't want to talk about this. I think that they should be more tolerant about my life. They are always trying to protect me. But maybe I shouldn't be angry. I usually shout at them when I'm angry and it's possible that for that reason they sometimes don't trust me. I'd really like some advice because if I don't do something soon, we'll probably have a big argument.
Hi Marc, I enjoyed chatting to you last day in the chatroom. In the chartroom you asked me to tell you about what I enjoy doing in my spare time. So, here it goes! I'm really interested in computer games and I likes so much multiplayer games. I usually play with my friends on-line in Call of Duty because they really love the game. I enjoy listening to rock music. My favourite group is Ska-p but I never go to see thir concerts and I never bought one CD of them. I download their music using Ares. I know that this is illegal, but it's free. I also like sports, and I prefer basketball. I play with C.B. Banyoles. I played a match last Saturday and we won. I'm looking forward to play the next match with St Feliu de Guixols. They have good players, and it's possible that we win. Thats is all for now. If you want to know anything else, let me know! Please send me an e-mail and tell me about your interest. Yours faithfully Albert
UNIT
In this unit we work the past simple and past continuous sentences. Like we try to study while our neighbours were having a party. The nois was terrible and they didn't stop all night. Also we know new phrasals verbs and we learn new vocabulary. I think that this unit is great.
TRANSLATE Hi Àlex, are you ok in Banyoles? I'm in San Giminiano and I'm going to buy and ice-cream. This is the best place to buy an ice-cream because they have very good recipes. - Hello, I'd like a vainilla and chocolate ice-cream, please. - 2 euros, please. Hello we are here in Maika pizza, the best pizzeria in San Giminiano and now we are going to buy one piece of pizza like this woma. Yes? Come on. He we are in "piaza di campo" in Sienna. In this place you can see five pizzerias and three or four shops of ice-cream. We are in Sienna and here you can see one of the most beautiful pizzas I have ever seen. We are now in the capitolio of Florencia. You can see al the city and it's all so beautiful . Well, our work has finished here. If you have any question, you should answer us.
Week 6-9 We return of the free days of "setmana santa". I didn't do anything special, so I don't talk about it. These week we have exam of Maths and English. I have studied very hard to have a good mark, so I think that it will be ok. About homework we haven't got a lot of work.
Week 12-16 The exam of Maths and English went very well. I think that of maths I'll get an 8 and of English a 9. These days Anna Vilar say me if I want to participate in a competition. I think that I won't win because the temathic of the competiton is about blogs, not webs. We haven't got exams these week, but a lot of homewor. The next week we are going to travel to Barcelona the Monday and Thuesday, it will be great.
Week 19-24 It's Wednesday and we arrive to Banyoles from Barcelona yesterday. We travel with TEISA, and we slept in an Alberg. The things that we saw were so beautiful. These week is only with three days of class, but we have a lot of work. One exam every day, today tecno, tomorrow FiQ and the Friday catalan. I'm going to work to make a good mark.
Week 27-1 This week we have got a lot of homework, but any exam so I'm going to relax. I think that this week will be a normal and rutinary week.
When we arrived in Sienna we thank that it will be boring but it was not true. The hotel was great because it has balcony and the beds were so good. The only thing bad was that it hasn't got TV. After leaving the bags, we went out to start visiting the city. We started by the square it was brilliant because it was night and thence we could see the night lights of the city. Then we went to the cathedral. We only saw it for outside but it was great. We went to a restaurant like MCDonalds and we ate pasta with hamburger. We ate very well. After dinner we went to a bar and we were able to see F.C. Barcelona. All the trip after this night people were aphonic. Then we went to sleep about one or two o'clock. In the morning we saw the same square but it was shining the sun. We could see the inside of the cathedral. It was incredible. There were a lot of details, it was beautiful and incredible thought that this was build 600 years ago. In general the trip was very funny and it was an experience unforgettable for all the members of the class.
Week 1-5 These week we did two important exams. One of maths and other of FiQ. We must study FiQ to get a good mark. We haven't got a lot of homework because. I played a basketball match and we win.
Week 8-12 It snowed. We did two days free because snowed. We have one exam of History and we can study it in these free days. . I think that it wasn't difficult but we must study. These exam is the first that include 2 units. These week we have a lot of homework. And I don't know if the Wednesday the teachers will correct the homework, because I forgot to catch some things in the school.
Week 15-19 The next week we are going to travel to Italy. I think that the trip will be very good. We'll visit a lot of places and we'll be a lot of time all the class together. Jordi Mossoll and Anna Larroy will go with us. The next week after the trip, we'll have free because it's "setmana santa"
WRITING: GIVING AN OPINION Most people do exams an dget more than a 5 to pass the course? In my opinion, I think that we must do exams. An exam it's a proof to menostrate what we know. We must study to pass the exams. I agree to do exams, but I think that it'll count the attitude and the progress in the subject and I feel that this isn't enough to valuate the pupil. An exam is easy and fast to correct and it can evaluate all the thing that have been worked in class, so it's a good method. Secondly, it's oblivious that we cannot punctuate the pupil only with the criterion of the teacher, we need a lot of professionals in small groups. And I really think that there aren't a lot of teachers qualified to do this work. Man y teachers only know how to correct an exam and when they are explaining the lesson, they only read the book. In conclusion, I think that exams are positive if they are created and used with criteria. It can be easy for the people who aren't enough intelligent and more difficult for the people who have a lot of capacity. And obliviously we need a method to punctuate the mark, don't we? This is the best of all.
UNIT
These unit talks about a lot of things. First there's a reading that talk about the security on the Internet and the people who protect us. There are gramatical, in concrete the order of the sentences: subject+verb+object+manner (how)+place (where)+time (when). Also we practice the formal verbls, of the stative verbs. Stative verbs are verbs which we use in the present simple, even if they are happenin now.
Rafel - Albert, Albert! Look at this! I don't belive it! Albert - Well, tell me! What don't you belive? Rafel - I passed all of my exams. Albert -Hey! Well done! That's great news. What grades did you get? Rafel - Four As, two Bs and a C. Albert - No! Really? Thats incredible! How on earth did you do that? Rafel - I dunno. I must be a genius. Albert - So are you going to celebrate? Rafel - Yes. I can't wait to tell Mum and Dad. I'm going to call them right now.
Man - Excuse me. Albert - Yes? Man - I'm afraid you can't park your motorcycle there. Albert - Oh right, sorry. Where am I allowed to park? Man - Parking is prohibited in all of this areas. Albert - I just wanted to go into this shop for a moment. Man - Sorry, but you'll have to park somewhere else. Albert - Is there anywhere near here? Man - Yes, you could try Walton Street, down there. Albert - OK then. Thanks for your help.
An English teacher wrote these words on the whiteboard: "woman without her man is nothing". The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the words correctly. The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing." The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."
