Dear Ms. Pintó
I'm a student at his this centre I' been here for 6 years so I know this school very well.
In my opinion this school is very modern and fashionable, but most people think that this school is vey dark and boring.
Now I'm going to talk about the new time table.
On the one hand, we will have less holidays in summer but we will have one weekfree in April.
This week helps to relax and do our homework and also to go to carnival.
I also think that starting at 8p.m helps to use more our time because we have a lot of time because we have a lot of time to do a other things afther school.
On the other hand, I don't like starting school on the 7th of September because on this dates we have the Mediaval Festival.
Next year we won't have this free week in April and ? Don't like this.
Finally, I would be happy they stopped the project of starting the school on the 7th of Setember and starting on the 15th like every years.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Carnival!
Now I'm going to talk about carnival.
Every year my friends and me dress up for the carnival. Every year we have a problem because we don't know which costume to choose. The last year we dressed up as painters. In my opinion this costume was very comfortable because every year for carnival it is very cold but if you have an overall you can put others clothes underneasth it.
Every year we have a meeting to choose the costume. We usually discarting about the costumes because there are a lot of opinions but finally we choose the most confortable option and cheapest.
Last eyar the costume was very confortable. Before carnival we went to a friend's hause to prepare the costume. We took the paint and then we painted the overalls with our hands. In the carnival there were a lot of groups pf painters but we were the best group.

Now I'm going to describe my boyfriend.
We have been to gether for two years and five month so I think that I krow him very well. At the beginning I'm going to talk about his physical character and then about his personality.
His name is Christian, he is 20 years old. He is very tall, he has big and blue eyes, his hair is short and very dark, he also has think lips. He loves goings to the gym so in my opinion he has a good body and he is quite attractive.
Now I'm going to talk about his personality. When you first meet him he seems to be a very moody and shy person, but then he becomes estroverted and funny person He is very sociable so he has a lot of friends. He is a very good listener so he always helps people who have problems. He is a self-critical person because when he does wrong things he ask fot forgiveness. I also think that he is a little competitive with his friends. And finally I am sure that he is big.headed because when he wants something he always gets it

Evaluation of my oral presentation:
I did this presentation with my friend Ariadna and I think that is better.
The topic of own presentation was Hawaii.
In this presentation we used powerpoint with images and we used real information of this country. The time of our presentation was 10-12 minutes more or less.
I was looking at the class all time but sometimes I read the words most difficults.
I made some gestures to hold the attention of the audience and I also did these gestures because I was nervous.
We organized the presentation of differents parts like the climate, the geography...
I used some markesrs to organize the information. In my opinion I think that aur presentation was easy to understand because we used our own vocabulary. I uses connectors and fillers.
I think that my pronunciation was normal but it was bad when I pronounced a difficult words.

Anty tobacco law
At the beginning of 2011 the new anti tobacco law affects all Spain.
Now in the Spanish bars, restaurants, pubs and discotecs the people can't smoke.
The new law says that near schools or hospitals it is also forbidden to smoke.
A lot of bars and restaurant owners are very angry about this, because this new law causes them to lose curtumers.
They also say it is unfair because the government lets them sell cigarets in their bars.
One month ago the first bar owner was given a fine of about 45.000€. This man says that he isn't going to pay the fine.
In my opinion this law is very exaggereated, because before in the bars or restaurants there were smoking and no smoking areas and in my opinion this was satisfactory.
In my case I don't smoke ans now the smoke doesn't bother me, but before this wasn't a problem for me.
To sum up I think that this law is too strict.

They say we will have to use more public transport, buses, trains, undergraund, taxis...
In my opinion thisidea is very good but it is very difficult to do this because in most cities there isn't sufficient public transport ans it is also very expensive.
To do this project first all the transports and roads are be impruved.
To do this project first all the transports and roads are be impruved.
If everythinf are organized, in my opinion the people use more the public transport, but I also think that do this project in a small town is very difficult, because in towns there aren't many buses so the people can't take the bus when it is necessary.
In conclution I think that every body can help to improve the world.

The movie starts when one old man reading a book about love story to an old woman.
The love story begins when a teenager meets a local boy called Noah. When Noah saw the girl called Allie he felt in love with her.

They were together all the summer ans they love each other.

Noah promisted Allie that he would buy a old farmer house, and that he would peint it with blue windous and white walls like she wonted.
When Allie comes back from America and she sees the farm house and he realizes thatshe still loves.
She breaks the relation with Lon and a starts againe with Noah.
At the end the old man and ola woman from the beginig of the story are Allie and Noah.
Noah is wreading his real love story with Allie.
Allie likes to listen to it but she cant's remember it because of her illness, (altsheimer).
My opinion:
The notebook has been one of the best movies that I've ever seen. The plot of the movie is very good, I like a lot the way that the film is explained.
Personaly I like love movies and this movie is one of those that make you think and puts you in the main character situatino.
On the one hand, the end of the film is very surprising because I imagined that the story would ens good and that everyone would be happy.
On the other hand this ending is better because it gives emotion to story.
If Icould change the ending I would like that Allie finally has the memory back to remember the wonderfull love story.
Ukraina
UKRAINE
I lived in the highest part of mountain in a little town called Starey Sambir (Lvov).
If there was a lot of snow, sometimes we had to walk because the road was full with snow.
At summer the feels of Ukraine are green with colorful flowers and nature all around, where you can smell of flowers and hear the sound of the birds.
My grandfather lived in Ukraine. I lived there for 9 years and then I moved to Spain.In Ukraine I have a big house there have 5 rooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, living room...
In my garden I have a smaller house, I play
every day with my sister and cousins. In Ukraine I have one dog and his name is Bim.
At summer I went to swim to the river with my friends and then we always went to eat an ice cream. At Sundays I went to restaurant to eat traditional meals from my country.
The winter in Ukraine is very hard because of the low temperatures. But I like this kind of living because I'm used to this cold situation. There are many adventures at this kind of
weather.
You can practise sky, snowboarding, play with the snow, do snow mans, do tunnels of snow and do ice gliding on the rivers.
And finally if you are cold you can go to a bar have a warm chocolate.
