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.

podcast
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.

(El punt) New
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.
