REPORTERS in LONDON:

Hi everybody we’re in London and we are going to be your guide in some London’s most famous sights next the Thames, the river of London, and we’ll tell you some information about them. London, as you know, it’s the capital of both, England and United Kingdom. The etymology of London it’s a mystery.

TOWER BRIDGE OF LONDON
Hi, how are you today? Well the first sight to comment is the Tower Bridge of London that it was built in 1894. It is a drawbridge that permits pass high boats that they sail in the river. The bridge crosses the River Thames. It has two towers which measure 65 meters of height and 244 of length. Let’s see pictures.

MILLENIUM
Now we are on the most modern bridge of London and it also crosses the Thames that is called: Millennium is a pedestrian bridge made with steel and the design was very innovative. The south side of the bridge is near [?] the Globe Theatre. The construction began at the end of 1998 and it is done in three sections (of 81m, 144m, and 108m) with a final structure of 325m.

LONDON EYE
Since opening in March 2000 The London Eye has become an iconic landmark and a symbol of modern Britain. The wheel design was used as a metaphor for the end of the 20th century, and time turning into the new millennium. Passengers in the London Eye's 32 capsules can see up to 40 kilometers in all directions.

BIG BEN
It’s the most representative icon of London known around the world. This year it’s the 150th birthday. We call BIG BEN the tower with the clock but really Big Ben is the nickname of the bell of the clock. The hour hand is 2.7 meters long and the minute hand is 4.3 meters long, but the tower measures 81 meters height.

TOMORROW MORE...

PARLIMENT
We will talk about the hauses of Parliament, that as a political institution, has developed over hundreds of years. The modern Houses of Parliament have resisted accidents and attacks.

RAVENS

There are ravens around the tower of London there are there because many year ago there was a lot of peope dead there, and the ravens went to eat them. It's a legend that if the ravens escape, the Tower of London will crumble in a disaster. But really It is because it's a tourist atracction. They cut their wings because they don't escape.

BEEFETERS

Befeeters tell the history of the Tower of London,they are a ceremonial guardians of it.
Their real name is The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London.
the name become from Beef (PLUS) eater means "someone who eats beef". Many years ago they where payed with a rations of beef from the King's table sometimes.
Tomorrow we have preparated an interview with one of them and a little guide around tower of london and he will tell us the history of the tower.

Then, don’t forget to see that tomorrow!

personal observation about my 2nd oral presentation

Presentation:
My 2nd oral presentation with Laia of this term has been about landmarks of London near the river Thames, London's river. As Laia has said in her opinion, it has been funny because we had been able to recorder our oral presentation as a reportage in London, because we have explained someplaces in front of them.
Also, whe have done it ilke a TV programme, (Travel TV) a programme about places to visit in this case London. Laia and me are the presenters and also the reporters and it seems that we are communicated by television connexion. The reporters are in London, and we stay here talking with them. (with us..)
We have mixtured it with Movie Maker like a video to show it in class. Also, we have put pictures from places that we talk about because in the videos recordered there aren't many minutes dedicated to show the landmarks.

Body language and eye contact:
I think that is more relaxed do it in other place while you are recordering yourself because it's not the same presion that in class. It has been a different experience, nicer I think. I think that I express with my body and with my face expression and that I don't leave the eye contact with the cámera because I felt calm and happy and I think that is important to do a good explanation.


Structure:
I think that we have structured good our oral presentation because we did an introduction at first, and after we did the explanations of the places that we chose with the essential information. Also, we have structured it in the same order that places are next to the river if you walk around there from Tower Bridge until Big Ben. And at the end, we have introduced the explanations of the presenters to do the oral like a documentary.

Content:
We have learnt with the information that we researched at first and I thinkt that people has learnt it too because it's a new importamtion about the places that we talk about. Like the metaphora of the London Eye that wants to represent the change of the new millenium (XX to XXI) or the name of designers. I would belive that everbody has learnt something new about London like Laia and me.

Language:
I think that we've used known vocabulary but we had to check some words and sentences to make the oral vocabulary richer or more varied like pedestrian, landmark, drawbridge... and we have used relative pronouns to connect sentences. I think that we have used a understandable and comprehensible language.

Pronunciation & Intonation:
I know that my pronunciation isn't quite perfect but in this oral presentation, maybe because I was very relaxed, I have improve my intonation and pronunciation and it is reflected in the fluidity of my words. A problem in this oral is the noise of the city (cars, buses, people, the rain of the last day...) I think that my voice is more sound that Laia's one maybe because I shouted more or because I was closer to the camera. I think that I talk a quick but also I think that my explanation is comprehensible… but the one think that I'm sure that I have improve is my intonation and and the ability to hold attention with gestures, intonations, ties ... It's a question to improve all the skills that we can.

Self-Evaluation:
In general I think that is is a good oral presentation maybe because it is "in live" in the same place of the landmark that we are explaning, and because we could repeat the times that we needed since get the best and nice try. But always it is difficult to put a mark to oneself but I think that it hasn't been a bad oral, contrary, this oral works well, it's suitable. Maybe to get an eight and a half but I think that this is to wish too.

Description of a hand

The hand is an organ of the human body placed to the extremity of the arms.
It is constituted by bones and cartilages that shape five fingers in every hand.
In addition, it is constituted also of the palm that is softer and smooth, it fills completely of different lines in every subject.
Nevertheless, if that there are similar lines in all the hands: the line of the life and the line of the future. Returning to the fingers we can see that are formed for little bones joined by conjunctions called joints to give mobility.
In addition to the top part of every finger the nails are situated.
The nails are basically calcium and sometimes, when the body lacks calcium, a few white little lines appear.
Then, the hand is a curious organ since it is totally lined and constituted of small parts that do an everything.

human rights

In my opinion, like Kant said many years ago, we must have human rights because we all together are rational human beings and we have to respect each other. I think that law has to protect the dignity of people and procure to this people a good way of life and at least, a decent livelihood.

Also, I think that law isn’t equal for each sex (women and men) because in some works men get more money than women or if we talk about gender violence, most of the time are the men who mistreat women and very often the law is not aware of the case until it has happened something more serious. But it’s true that we have a lot of Human Rights, some are similar to each other, that we should respect but a lot of people don’t do it, so society falls into a spiral, like the fish that eats its tail, the more uncertainty there is, problems become more and so on until the law will be insolvent and it won’t be able to pay attention to all the problems and we’ll have to do a RESET and start a new structure of laws and a new system of their implementation.

In conclusion, I think that every people must respect human rights in the same way that they want to be respect by others and it should be the more correct way to improve in respect in our society to be an example of respect to other countries or places around de world.

little soldiers

Help to eradicate the use of girls and children in battles.

In nowadays girls and children are little soldiers that are fighting in at least 17 countries of the whole world.

Girls and children are forced to enter in combat equally; they are exploited in this work and submit to an abominable violence. A possible protocol of the United Nations prohibits the participation of girls and 18-year-old minor children in armed conflicts.
Nevertheless, with supreme frequency this agreement is not applied.

Consequently a renowned campaign has been created: "Campaign red hand" to urge the United Nations in order that they become firmer in front of this situation that commits an outrage against children and 18-year-old minor girls.

The devil wears Prada

The story begins with a girl who dresses in clothes gone out of fashion and badly combined that prepares to get a job of secretary in one of the fashionable magazines fashionest of the country.
First, the workers of this employment criticize her a bit and she has the sensation that she won't be able with everything since the boss is rather pernickety and calls everybody at all hours as if her personnel, repart of be personnel, were servants 24h a day out and inside the work.

She decides to change thanks to a companion experienced in this work and there does a change of look, which makes impressed another secretary and the boss.

words learnt:
- personnel ( el personal )
- pernickety (quisquillosa)
- rather (més aviat, una mica..)

Kids can make New Year's resolutions, too

Jennifer Shu. M.D. did a study on the intentions of new year of the children according to his ages. Major all that is the child, more serious his intentions turn so this result is tied to the maturity of the individual.
The 5-year-old minor children propose themselves intentions related to his pet, pay attention to mothers, etc.
The children between 5 and 12 relate his intentions in spite of eating healthier, finding the favorite sport or something for what to fight physically, road safety, private not transferable information..

Discussion essay

computers in the society

Are computers a good invention for the society or not? have computers made the world a better place?

Nowadays, coputers had become an indispensable tool to work, to study and also to play, to comunicate and a lot of more social activities.

It's obvious that computers are a great reducer of time at the moment of doing any writing, work, etc. It's faster to use the computer to search information or send an email than take the encyclopedia or write a letter by hand. But, is this only a solution, or it's better for the people formation?
The fact of containing orthographic correctors, functions like "copy and paste" and all these tools, allow to follow the line of least effort becouse it isn't necessary to pay much attention.

On the other hand, handwriting, the writer must arouse to misatakes that it could make, must know the spelling of the language and in addition he must have care of the presentation.

What does happen with the people who are addicted to computers? In case of absence of these, it seems that the world is going to finish and they could be unable to do a writing without any mistakes. This way so, besides programs like the Messenger that incites to write abridged and the orthographic correctors, creates inept writers.
Repeating that is evident that the computers are faster also is less trustworthy a lot of information that the network can offer. If the person searching doesn't contrast the first information, maybe could be misinformed.
But the worst thing that it's inherent in computers is the electricity consumption. Can you imagine the amount of energy it consumes the planet only on computers running, in charge of laptop batteries and accessories?

Technology produces ever more quantity and more quickly, leaving obsolete products in a short time, so it creates amount of waste.

Finally, society isn't yet aware of the energy expenditure involved with computers, but it ieists surely a solution with renewable energy. But what can not quell any energy system is the ignorance of virtual writers that are of on the screen and forget the traditional dictionaries and encyclopedias. Computers make all faster in quantity and quality but not in formal and personal growth.

opinion essay

HUMOUR.
"You never know who can fall in love with your smile". That common saying may contain some truth, because if you are always with an angry expression maybe people wouldn't be near you. For many people, humour is a style of life like clowns or humorists. It is a way of liberating tensions and energy, very necessary.

In the first place, people enjoy a lot watching people that are laughing because it is contagious. It's obvious that if you start to laugh people around will be attracted by your laugh and will start feeling desire of laughing too.

In the second place, In my opinion, I believe that sometimes it is better to take life with less seriousness. For example, when we are in a mishap without solution, instead of starting despairing why not to laugh at the situation ironically? Humour can provide the distancing necessary to recover from any situation, though any more than in a few seconds. If we have stumbled over a stone, instead of beginning to exploding of anger or to saying swearwords, we will laugh at our own ridiculous.

Lastly, it has always been said that by laughing we use fewer muscles of the face than putting an expression of anger. Then, shall we take the life with a bit more of happiness? I believe in humour and in laughs of the people because it is something contagious that, sometimes, just by seeing someone laughing of happiness transmits a similar feeling instantly.

Antioxidants 'cannot slow ageing'

A study says that most of antioxidant creams are worthless.
In London College scientists belive that doesn't exist really a solution for tissue ageing.

In 1956, it was suggested that ageing was caused by a group of molecular damage that reactives forms of oxigen cause. This reactives forms are called superoxides, that are inside our body.

To create these creams sometimes they use nematode worms despite they aren't similar of human race, but these worms can detroy the excess of that oxidizing cells.

However, they have no clear evidence to establish that it is the right solution for the aging of tissues. Scientists don't have a magic bullet. But at least, although not eradicated antioxidants, this makes a health maintenance.

words:
bullet: vareta
worms: cucs
oxidizing: oxidants

oral presentation

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELISABETH & MR. DARCY
- developing.

FIRST TEXT:
1.HELLO EVERYBODY. We are going to start our oral presentation about a topic of Pride and Prejudice. Exactly: Developing Relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

2To introduce the developing we are going to explain the character of Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. after That we have selected the 6th most importants meetings between them.

In each one we can see a change in the character's behaviour and how dicrease their pride and take more importance love and feelings.

3Well, Elizabeth it's the main protagonist of the novel. The second daughter of Bennet's family which is not very well considerated because their behaviours and education. She is itelligent and she serch love and happiness within the constraints and proprieties of her society, particulary within arranged engages. Elizabeth has prejudices and because of that she cannot see the realy personality of Mr Darcy with who falls in love.

Mr. Darcy it's a friend of Mr. BIngley who has come to live in Netherfield Park in the same neighbourhood. Primarily seems a proud man who snubs Elizabeth at a public dance in her village. The different opinions of other characters makes that Lizzy takes a wrong image of him. Moreover, Mr. Darcy discriminate Elizabeth because he doesn't think that she is nice and also because her social class.

4. the first time that they meet is in a public ball in Hertfordshire. They are there because Mr. Bingley has rended Nertherfield Park and Mr. Darcy goes with him because they are leal friends. Maybe the ball is dedicated to give the welcome to Bingley and company.
Elizabeth is siting on a chair while Mr. Darcy and Bingley are talking about her. Mr. Darcy doesn't say nothing kind about her. She hears that and her prejudices begin.

5. The second important meeting is in Netherfield Park in BIngley house. Elizabeth goes there because her sister is ill and to take care of her. Mr. Darcy starts to considere Elizabeth unconsciously.
Moreover, when Bennet's family leave at home, Mr. Darcy helps Elizabeth to get into the carriage and he touches her hand. Bouth become desconcerted.

6. In the third important meeting is again in Bingley's house but in a ball. It's amusing because Mr. Darcy invite Lizzy to dance and she accepts although she decided to hate him. While they are dancing they can talk and Elizabeth tried to know more about Wickham and with this question she annoy Mr. Darcy. They are still proud to each other.

7. BOARD let you see waht he said:

8. In Rosings Park they are two meetings.
The first meeting in Rosings we thing that it's important because they equilibrated the tension that was between bouth since this moment. They talk kindly and Mr. Darcy confess that it's difficult to him talk about people who doesn't know. The replied of Elizabeth is that he must practise.
The second meeting in Rosings is outside the house where Mr. Darcy confess his feelings to Elizabeth altough his social position and circumstances. He is sincere despite his shyness.
Elizabeth reject him because she has a wrong image about him because Wickham observations.

9. BOARD Here you can see what he says to declare his love and how she rejects it. Although she started to love him.

10. Elizabeth has already the right image about Mr. Darcy because he wrote a letter to her. In Pemberley they talk to each other nerviously without pride and prejudices.

11.The last most important meeting where we can see their mutual feelings after Lady Catherine has visited Elizabeth the last night.
Mr. Darcy tells his feelings again which are accepted for Lizzy and they becomenge enganged. =)

12. Here you can see how Mr. Darcy repeating his feelings and how he has the hope that Lizzy has changed her feelings.

13. BOARD

My opinion:

Presentation

I think that our oral presentation was attractive because slides had a nice pictures of the film. I think that pictures and the sentences that apear in the film and that we have copied are relevant because are of the important moments of the story.

Body language and eye contact

In my case, I think that I move a lot hands and a little bit my body because I don't like to be all the time static like a not human figure!! But only when I talk, when like talked, I was quiet calm. Also I think that I look at the audience and I only look at the slide when it's necessary for the explanation.
I can see in the video that I don't read a lot from my notes, I only watched their when I was in silence while Laia was talking to do something, maybe =).

Also I think that I do a lot of gestures to hold the attention of my audience because I use a lot my hands to express what I'm feeling when I'm explaining something, specialy in the "fourth meeting of Darcy and Elisabeth" because this moment of the story is very amusing!

Structure

I think that we have oranized slides in order of importance because the moments that we have descrived goes with the evolution of the story and in each slide increase the emotion. Well, only is my opinion, of course.
We use the discourse markers to make our ideas more clear in slides. I think that is where it's easier to see that, but when we talk, we change one to other.

Content

I don't think that we have introduced new information to the audience because it's a topic from the story. Maybe the sentences that characters say because I think that while people where reading the book they didn't pay attention to the amusing sentences.
We have looked up the information from the book and the sentences from internet because it's easier to copy directly the sentences of "cinepatas.com" or search in google putting the first sentence of that we want to find.
I think that our information wasn't superficial because we have select the most important moments of the story and the intention of each character in each moment and we have descrived detailetly these moments. I think that it's original to put the sentences from book and also a sentence from an image that we found that is " when you touched me, I get a thrill, a thrill that I can't ignore" because it doesn't apears in the book but I think that descrives perfectly feeling of bouth characters in the story between bouth.

Language

We have check our grammar from the grammar book and also from internet.
We searched synonyms and new words like "constraints", "snubs", "shyness". This word, shyness, we wrote it unconsiously, and after when we went to check it, we found that it exists!
I think that we have used linkers like moreover, although, also, and, first, second...
and also fillers, but not in the writted text, I think that this is more espontanious like as you know, well, and isn't it.. words to hold the audience.

Pronunciation & Intonation

I know that I don't pronounce perfectly all my words. I feel that I've got a very catalan accent and it makes ugly my english. It's courious becouse when I talk to english people I hear that my english sounds better, but when I have to talk in english to people who speaks the same language than me, my english it's worse. I checked the pronuncition of some words when we did the oral presentation, and I think that I have said it correct but with the nervous...
I change my voice tone when I said things that are amusing for me and I don't thing that I have used a monotone tone and without interruptions despite when we have to pass the slide or to say something that wasn't write in the first text.

Self-Evaluation

If in each oral presentation we improve, I would like to have an eight because I was very nervous but one time in fornt the audience I was feeling very confident, but I know that it's to wish too. But hope is free =)

LITERAL TRANSCRIPTION
Hello every body we are going to tel you a topic of Pride and Prejudice exactly de developing relationship between Elisabeth and Mr Darcy (carles pots passar?) to introduce the topic we have done a description of mr darcy and elisabeth and we have select the most important meetings that they have during the story.

On the other hand we have mr darcy that is a rich man of the hight social position and in the begining he seems a proud man and snubs Elisabeth in the public ball in hemfordshire. but the differents opinions of the other characters specially colonel Wickham makes Elisabeth a wrong image of him and it's the reason that she becomes to had a wrong image of him but also Mr Darcy discriminate Elisabeth beause is not the same social position.

Well the first time that they meet is in a public ball in hemfordshire and we think that this ball is organized to give the welcome to Bingley and company and well, how they meet? Elisabeth is sitting on a chair nearly Bingley and Mr Darcy that they are talking about her but Mr Darcy don't say nothing kind about Elisabeth and here is when started the prejudice of Elisabeth.
-Here you can see that it put "I get a chill when you touch me, thrill that I can't ignore" that is when Mr. Darcy in the film do like ( I move hands) because he is very (it sounds a noise and I cannot listen what I have said).

In the fourth meeting we have included to meetings that bouth ocurres in , in Kent and the first is in Catherine's the Bourg house when Elisabeth is playing the piano as you know sit is imilar in the film, Mr Darcy express that he is not proud, it's becouse he's shy, and is dificult to him express his feelings to people that who don't know and the other...a and the replied that Elisabeth says to Mr Darcy is that he must practise. The second meeting that they have I think that is the must amusing in the story because is when Mr. Darcy shows his feelings to Elisabeth despite the social class and his shyness. But Elisabeth reject him because she knows a wrong things about him because what said Colonel Wickham and well Mr. Darcy said sorry to said that. - Here we can see what Mr. Darcy says to Elisabeth to show that it's difficult to him express his feelings to other people, and bueno, Elisabeth says that he must practise. next please.
- Here we can see when he is showing his feelings and what says Lizzy to reject him, and she says that if this feelings could be repressed util them, why not could be repressed for always, and well. next please.

To finish we have done a conclusion that Elisabeth is the prejudice and Mr Darcy is thepride because Elisabeth in the beginings she takes a prejudice to Mr Darcy because he is a rich man oand f a high social class, and Mr Darcy because that the social class, he can't see the real personality of Elisabeth because how she is of a low social class she couldn't be a nice person or a good woman. and well, At in the end we can see that the bouth social class are in the same position because love put in the same position the two people depite that one is very rich and one poor. and whe have finish our oral presentation.

oral presentation comments

Oriol oliva:

He talked about humour in spanish tv. The important things or things that I learnt were that in tv3 is where are a lot of humour. Oriol preferx Plats Bruts of catalan humour and he thing that there's a offensive humour in this tv.
how he speaks? I think that he said a lot "ammm" and he didn't show emotions when they talk about funny things.
Impressions? Visual pictures, he seems calm. =)

Chanez + Fiona:

They talked about sit comes. It started with a Radio organization. It's a kind of comedy and very popular today. An important sit come is The Cossy created in 1984. Also exist science-fiction comedy. They prefer Principe de Bel Air.
how they speak? Their pronunciation is fantastic for me, and they spoke very fluence. =)=)

Ariadna:

18 and 19 century.
She talked about Illustration, education to change the society, Rousseau was one of the most important representation of illustration. Girls musted to be acomplished. She has a hard accent but she is calm when talks. I like it. =)

Neus & Marina:

Different kind of love. They talked about platonic love, passion love, arranged married... it's a original topic, I thought before that they will do that topic, it's typical of their.

Anna & Miriam:

How to be a gentleman like Mr. Darcy in our days?
THey talked a little bit of what men have to do when they meet a girl. For example say: "ladies first please", talk without full mouth... I think that bouth have a nice accent in english. =)

Claudia i Carles:

Weddings around the world.
Indian weedding it's very nice, in a garden in the night.. Arabiani'ts unfashionable and strange. I like how Claudia feels confident when she talks although she says that she is nervous... =)
And Carles is clever because with only take a look on the notes he can talk a lot.

Baldiri & Bernardo & Iñaki

19th century.
Poor people vs rich people. RIch people had horses carriages, education in school... and houses where a social place not only a house. (balls) Bernardo talks a lot but for me I think that talks with mouth too close and it's dificult to understand what he said, the other two I can understand better. But three seem calm and confident.

Marina Sarquella:

The main themes in the novel.
Three topics: love, reputation and class but love is the most famous. (I was'nt in class that day, but I know that Marina speaks very well english).

Adrià Carmona:

Types of humour.
Epigram is a short tense to talk about a grup.
Irony most important element in humour.
Clewing is a phisical humour. (also I haven't seen this oral p. but for me it's dificult to understand Adrià when he talks in english..sorry :S)

Alejandro:

Buenafuente.
He starts with a funny monoleg. He hasn't got studies. (Laia talks to me that he was nervous, I don't know ¿?)

Alfaro:

Simpsons topic.
sidcome in antena 3. it starts in 1989 it takes pace in Springfield. Adrià talks very good he feels no nervous and he is very friendly. =)=)

Sense&Sensibility

Yesterday I saw the movie of sense and sensibility! In spite of the fact that it is not so exciting or so tense as Pride and Prejudice, it talks about the same topic and almost in the same way also it turns out to be interesting, since really to it frustrated to me very much how the rational sister one was guarding for herself all the feelings, until Edward comes and already she cannot hide any more and she explodes to crying. It's a sad history with a happy ending thanks of the patience of those who really put the love ahead of everything.
This movie is slower and seems that it doesn't advance the history, but ultimately when Marian marries, the poor Will ... makes me sad! But already it's a lesson, for thinking firstly about the money...

When Mr. Henry Dashwood dies, leaving all his money to his first wife's son John Dashwood, because it's a man, his second wife and her three daughters are left with no permanent home and very little income because they are women similar like P&P. Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters (Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret) are invited to stay with their distant relations, the Middletons, at Barton Park, a prayer house.

Elinor is sad to leave their home at Norland because she has become closely relationated to Edward Ferrars, the brother-in-law of her half-brother John who have now their house. However, they meet new pople, including the retired officer and bachelor Colonel Brandon, who fell in love with Mariane, and the gallant and impetuous John Willoughby, who rescues Marianne after she hurts her ankle running down the mountains of Barton throw the rain.

Willoughby shows love to Marianne, until Willoughby suddenly announces that he must depart for London on business, leaving Marianne lovesick and miserable. Anne and Lucy Steele, arrive at Barton Park as guests of the Middletons. Lucy ingratiates herself to Elinor and informs her that she (Lucy) has been secretly in love to Edward Ferrars for a whole year.

Elinor initially assumes that Lucy is referring to Edward's younger brother, Robert, but is shocked and pained to learn that Lucy is actually referring to her own beloved Edward, because when Edward's mother knows about love between Ed and Lucy she retired the money that must take Ed with the marriage.

At the end Ed married with Elionor, and Marianne married Colonel Brandon, and Willoughby, desolated because he had married with a rich woman to save his future, become sad to know that he never could recuperated Marianne's love.

I've to confess..I'm a lover of this two films..and I'm downloading Becoming Jane, that I know that it will be fantastic too.
