Informal letter

Girona
(Empuriabrava)
08/04/10

Dear Kieron,

I'm writting this letter to answer your question about a holiday in my country.

Exactly, I want to recommend you my town, Empuriabrava. It's a tourist place
where you can go on holidays preferably in summer, when the tourists come here.
It has a very big beach, a big store where you can buy some souvenirs, or eat the tipycal flavours of Spain like Paella or Sangria.
If you're far from the beach, but not much, you'll be near the mountains where you can ski in winter or see our nature and wonderful views.

If you want to have extreme experiences, Tarragona is the best place where you can have it. There's a big funfair, Port Aventura, it's a place where you can watch shows like theatre or fireworks. You can activate your adrenaline.

In general, Spain is a good country where you can have good holidays and when you leave it, surely you'll want to return...

Here is a picture in the beach of my town



Think about it!

Best regards,

Adrian Santeliz

Dialogue

On Saturday a night in a pub, three friends decide to go for see a Football match. this match consist of the competition aganist Barça-Madrid.

Isma: Hey guys, do you want to go to this match or no?.

Adrian: Maybe, but we hanven’t a car.

German: It’s true. But Isma’s father have it.

Isma: Yes, but my father maybe will be working.

German: No i can’t believe that.

Adrian: NO! Your father wont be working on Wednesday, because Wednesday it’s a
holiday day.

Isma: Yes I didn’t remenber that.

German: Well, we have a car, but no money.

Adrian: Isma´s father is rich, so he can buy the ticktes.

Isma: It’s imposible because my father is very mean.

German: OK, I will pay your tickets by my father´s money

Isma & Adrian: Ok thanks.

Adrian: For this I’m going to invite your for a beer.

German: Well, I have to come back to my home, because my mother is waiting for me.

Isma: Ok, tomorrow you have to call me and you too, Adrian.

Adrian: OK, but wait a minute… tomorrow I want to go to the beach because is summer
and it´s really hot, do you want to come all together?

German: It looks really good…OK

Isma: Ok, but, in the morning or in the evening?

Adrian: Pererably in the morning.

Isma & German: OK, bye.

The last OP¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Self Evaluation

I think that German and I were ok. German memorizes all that He had to say and I had a good pronunciation. German need more emphasizing and pronunciation and I need more preparation for memorize all, because I red lot. In my opinion a middle mark for us can be a 6 or a 6,5 like our teacher give us.
Something that has helped us is that the main theme of the exposition had to be chosen by you, and not by other persons. I believe that, this point, can be positive for all, because you can prepare it with your words, with your sense as you like.
An OP with a predetermined theme it can't be better than before.

Iron man 2

In another post that I made, I was talking about my favorite movie, Iron Man, in that other post I want to talk about the second movie of this: Iron Man 2. In this other movie, Tony Stark will be seen pressured by state authorities, because the suit that He made, it's considerated as a dangerous weapon. As a consequence of this, Tony Stark gets a large number of enemies who want to steal the suit of iron, and use it to make mischief. But, as everyone knows, He gets to defeat them all with the help of his faithful friend in another suit made by Tony. Finally, everything returns to be normally, and the technology that Tony didn't want to give to the government for not to fall into wrong hands, nobody knows it.


Look it in full screen...

AC/DC

In this post, I want to talk you about a rock group: AC/DC. This goupe was made by Angus Young & Malcolm Young, two brothers. Angus and Malcolm Young, thought the idea of the band name, after seeing the abbreviation "AC/DC" under the sewing machine of her sister, Anne. "AC / DC" is an abbreviation in English of Alternating current/Direct current), indicating that an electrical device can be used with both types of current. The brothers felt that this name symbolized the energy and the power of the performances of the band, and the name is that. They sing a lot of songs, but soon they left the band and They will be separated. Nevertheless, they have taken millions and millions of records that remain in memory. His most famous songs are: Thunderstrack, Rock & Roll Train, War Machine or Highway To Hell, well, the ones I like...

Here are two of his songs:

Black Ice



Rock'n Roll Train

News

Surely you've heard all about the problems that Catholic religion and the Vatican, had recently.
One of this problems is the pederasty. This is caused by the celibacy. Ths practice consist in abolish the marry for the priests and church representatives.
These priests, unable to marry, can not hold their sexual desires, and They violate childrens and They have sex with them.
This practice is really harmful, because children who now are adults, are now suffering these horrible memories, without saying that this practice is really abusive.
Recently, the Catholic religion is crushing about this, even in England, the people say that if they now that the “Papa” is landing there, they will put him in the jail and take him for a judge.
Finally, do you think that they have to take a several judge, or have the forgiveness of all of us?

News

"Ecological catastrophe: The Coast Guard said it had approved the transaction after consultations with scientists from the Government.
The well that BP is trying to close , spits daily 800,000 liters of crude into the sea from the explosion on 20 April Deepwater Horizon platform operated under concession by the company. The company British Petroleum (BP) announced today the start of the operation known as "top kill" with which he seeks to seal the hole that spits out daily by thousands of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico by a heavy flow injection". 26/05/2010

I think that this company can clean up all this oil, but they need a lot of time. Obama said that they can not clean up before this oil extend for another countries. We´re in expectatives that they can do it, and wait that this can´t happens again.

Technologies

You know what are the last technologies? Surely, no. Before all, I want to comment you that this topic is one of my favorites, Technologies. we use technologies for our benefit, like latest mobile ohnes, or super computer, but... Do you know what is the Gauss Canion?, it's a particle accelerator for accelerate particles and make them collide at high speed, having high energy particles behave differently than low energy. We use that for take a lot of electric energy and for do scientific studies. Do you know that the scientist have had invented a kind of jet engine that has a very high performance? This engine is used in planes or in car, and this motor whit onli 1 liter of petroil, you can do aproximately 60 kilometers (37 miles). You see, with new inventions and new gadgets, we can make our lives easier and more comfortable whenever we use them for good purposes and not for evil porposes like wars or abusive marketing.

A good manga serie

One Piece, is one of my favourite series. One Piece is a pirate adventure. It is the story of a boy named Monkey D. Luffy, who, at seven years old, accidentally ate a Devil Fruit, becoming a rubber man but making the price unable to swim. Luffy, inspired by the pirate Shanks, He go to the sea ten years later to become the Pirate King. This would need to find a good crew, ten persons to help Him on his adventure. To become the king of the pirates, he must find the world's greatest treasure, buried by the most famous and richest pirate of all, Gold Roger. This serie is not finished yet and still has a lot to finish. For that, in Japan are taking a chapter per week to continue the story, but Luffy surely will find the treasure, or they might kill him ...

The one eating meat is the protagonist, Luffy ... XD

Hollywood (U.S.A)

Ones Productor and Director

I have seen your film about “Avatar”, and I say that is a really good film, is amazing. In my critical opinion it was very good in this things: the sound and the music fit too well in this film; the details of the images and video was perfect; and the 3D effects gives them a lot of reality.

I have a cousin who does not like the fiction movies, but when he looks your film, he sais that: “It is the best film that I have watch in my live!, really.

The arguments of the movie are good, because they carrie us to other world that we can imagine us doing all that wa can´t do. The best part of the film was the final battle, whwn the protagonist Jack Sully, fights with the Coronel Quaritch, who wants to destroy Pandora.

Finally, I want to comment you that you can have the best films production company, like Pixar or Marvel, because you have win a lot of Oscars, and your film was expected around the world for a lot of people. In my experience, I have not critic a film better than yours. I want to repeat the exit of the 3D effects, probably, are the best of the history.

Yours faithfully

Marley remains the most known and respected performer of reggae music and is credited with helping spread the music of both Jamaica and the Rastafari movement (which was a committed member) to a worldwide audience.

And finnally we gonna hear a little beat parts of his songs:

News

Surely you have heard about the earthquake in Chile on February 27, 2010. This disastrous earthquake reached a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale. This earthquake was the strongest in history, but luckily only caused about 300 deaths. This data is not entirely accurate, since it probably will find more victims under the rubble. This kind of news usually only catch our attention in the moment, but do not give the sufficient importance. When we see this news, We only think on these problems, and We don´t know what heavy is this. After this disaster the world's remaining nations are prepared for more possible earthquakes to prevent further unexpected deaths. One of the most used system, the SAS, the seismic alarm system that emerges as a tool whose main role is disaster prevention.

Acrostic

War or Peace?

When an evil man comes to fight

A profound terror until it covers you in death in

Remorse of the people who knows all the evil that was done.





People need love care and friendship .

Every word that we let slip.

All the prayers that come from our heart

Could be the sign for peace to start

Everyone must play their part .

My podcast

The transcription of my podcast

Description of a friend
German:
He is 16 years old, but his next birthday it’s from here to a week. When I met him, was in 2005. He lives in Castello d´ empuries and I met him here. He is a shy person without strange people, but if he is whit friends or family, he is really extroverted. He is not very high, quite fat, but not much. He has black hair, brown eyes and it grows a lot of beard.
He eats everything that you give, but his favourite meal is fast food, like pizza or hamburguer. His favourite activity is play video games or play computer. His favorite video games are god of war, assasin´s creed, dragon ball or devil may cry. But nevertheless he study a lot and he do a lot of homeworks. He is a responsible person and friendly. When he can, he invite all his friends to spend some time taking a meal and playing. In conclusion, German is a nice person and if you met him you will be surprised despite what shy he is.

Another Oline Game

I want to talk you about Ogame. Ogame is a strategy game where you can fight against more than 16000 players per server. This game is one of the futuristic style and is based on the growth of your empire around the universe, getting resources for this to expand and get more fleet to defend yourself. When you get your fleets, and an important growth in your empire you get an advantage against opponents. But this growth is due to dark matter, but only you can get it buying whit real money, XD. I want to shaw you some examples of fleet that you can get in this game.

Heavy Hunter


Plasma Cannion

Quantum Leap (Is a type of teleportation)

My favourite meal

I eat a lot of tipes of meals, but my favourite meal is the fast food, really. Always when I´m hungry I want to eat some meals like Pizzas or Hamburguers, but also I like to eat pasta or salads. When I´m in the school in recess of class I always eat some sandwiches or fruit. My mother says that always I´m eating, but it´s normally, beacuse I´m on stage for growth and I need a lot of nutrients, jaja. But apart from this my grandma cooks a lot of soups and homemade meals. I want to show you some examples of my favorite meals and after this tell me if you got hungry, jaja.

My Country

I want to talk about my country, Venezuela. I come from Venezuela, exactly, Maracaibo, the second capital like Barcelona in Spain. The president of Venezuela is Hugo Chávez, and the political state of this country is really poor, but is not poor for his missery, it´s poor because the policticals and goverments take advantage of the civics.
They have a lot of lands, commercial spaces, but the president take it off for the other countryes for do trades, but nevertheless the people are happy and friendly.

The Flag:

The coat of arms:

I love these cars

The models of cars that I like are Lamborghinies, because they have a good silhouettes and they are really wonderfull. They spent more or less 452.562,87 dollars, to 2.000.000 dollars, that it´s too expensive. I think if they are very expensive I cannot give any of them...Ja, ja.

Here´s a little list about some Lamborghini cars in 2006:


-Lamborghini Concept S

-Lamborghini Gallardo

-Lamborghini Hamann Gallardo

-Lamborghini Miura

-Lamborghini Murciélago

-Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

-Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster

A curious Tale...

It´s really absurd and funny... jaja, but enjoy it:


A long time ago, we are exactly in the 1st century after Christ; Roman times and in the famous and prominent Roman Colosseum. One day, Caesar decided to prepare a sort of “Olympic Games” with chariot races, parade of nations conquered and battles between gladiators. After all the session until the battle of gladiators was somewhat boring, but when the gladiators saluted Caesar as always: "Hail Caesar, those about to die salute you", being the duel between the provocative and distinctive Elvis Presley and the outstanding and tireless Michael Jackson, clash of the titans, the battle between ROCK and POP.



After the intensive session, exciting and rhythmic repeated attacks, arrive a few unexpected characters, like angels, were the carrots ... sorry, the beatles, appearing with thair most famous songs: Don´t Let Me Down, by calming the situation and lowering anger; unexpectedly, the 3 gladiators get to sing together, giving the duel for a draw. This story can be applied to our times to imply that if we are rock or pop, meat or fish, are just simple tastes, and we can counter that with our consciousness, to defeat the ideology of our Caesar, where we can all live together.

Dear Lourdes

I know who are you but I´m just writting to introduce myself. My name is Adrian Santeliz and i´m fifteen years old. I live in Empuriabrava (Castelló d´Empúries) with all my family. I love play the saxo and go to gym...it´s my time of relax, sure, jaja.

And...wath about you?What music do you like? I was studying music in the music school of Castelló d´Empúries but i live of this place because there was too expensive of time, I explain you, I don´t have much time for all the extraschool activities.

I´m studying first of Batxillerat in Castelló, because I want to be a mechanical engyneer and get a good job.



That age in the school it´s too difficult because Phisic, Matemathics and another subjects are really complicated...



Well...I write you soon. Bye!

My Oral Presentation and Self Evaluation.

I think that my oral presentation was good, I had a good pronunciation, a good vocabulary, I used tools for the presentation, and the presentation was funny, entertaining and interesting...sure. I think that the best theme about you can speak is about a person that all the people knows who is He or She, but instead the people kows a little beat about this person, because if you talk about yourself it isn´t interesting than this. I was lucky because I did my oral presentation the 2nd thay at all of them. That can give me some examples of goods presentations: the humor of German, or the good expression of Alexandra, and I aplied them in mine. When I was taking notes I was imagining some methods of orals presentations, that helps me for mine. Finally, the video musics was good. I saw that the other students recognize some songs of Mickael, I noted that they liked It, and Livia was singing Billie jean¡¡¡. I think that I have could dance a little beat, like Arunas in the other class, and I was looking for a dress like Mickael, that can be very original, but I cannot have someone. I don´t wanna writte all that i said because you can heard it in the video... So, this is my self evaluation and thanks to all.

A piece of news

Sleep and alcohol

Lack of sleep can cause the same physical and mental problems that excessive alcohol consumption. The reaction time, accuracy, coordination and attention span of those who stay awake for a period of about 18 or 19 hours are so poor, or worse, that the reactions observed in the drinkers with alcohol concentrations blood of 0.05%, the legal limit in many countries, according to a study in the latest issue of the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

A piece of news

Nicotine addiction

The first symptoms of nicotine addiction can start within a few days of starting to smoke and after just a few cigarettes, according to a study published in the journal Tobacco Control. The research has been conducted with 700 adolescents aged 12 to 13 years, belies the belief that nicotine dependence is a gradual process that occurs after a prolonged smoking daily. Of the 95 adolescents who began as occasional smokers, 19 began to notice symptoms of dependence within four weeks of starting to smoke, others 16, within two weeks and several more after only a few days. This is really worrying because our society is very dangerous and really hostile.

Comparatives of adrian Mole and Thirteen

In the story of Adrian Mole, the protagonist, Adrian, has bad nutrittion, problems of sex and other things like Thirteen, that the main character is Tracy. In the movie there is a lot of sex, drugs and auto-hitting: it was a very shocking film because it was too real, but in the story of Adrian there are only problems of a typical teenage boy about family...nutrition and another situations taht a teenage can have at 13 3/4 years old.

In the movie, tracy has very quick and too spontaneous, because She was a very good student, but She doesn´t feel very well with her personality and her body, that is the reason why She meets the bad influences of the school, and the problem was Evie Zamore.



Thracy´s thinking is: if you´re not that away, you are nothing. This thought want to communicate this: the teenagers (14-19 years old) need to have all the modern clothes and modern things, because if you don´t have it, you´re nothing, you´re unpopular and old-fashioned.

Tracy´s problem is that She wants to be popular and modern with the other students and be more recognized, but if She wants it , She needs to go with her friends, and Evie, but She was a very bad influence for Tracy, because She consumes drugs, has a lot of sex, and still a lot of money to be more popular.



Finally, this film was very shocking, 1st because it was too realist, and 2nd, it´s adapted to the problems that a teenage boy can suffer.

My Favourite Song
