self-evaluation!

The topic of my Oral presentation was my dogs. I explained his life with me, his breed and his likes and dislikes. My pronunciation in English it's so bad, I have very problems for pronunciation the difficuld words like "breed" or others. In my presentation, I was wrong many times, but I say "ai, perdo" and I continued, and I think that it's good because I don't stoped my presentation for the wrongs, I continued and finally I had a good presentation.
I don't like my presentation when I look my video, but it isn't so wrong, I have only some mistakes :P. It's my first oral presentation in "batxillerat", and I think I can improve of my mistakes for the next oral presentation! :)

The film VS. The book



The film was very strong, because it was hard when it expressed what Tracy felt, and impacted you more than I could have done it's The Diary of Adrian Mole. The book was hard too, but it was not expressing a book so much.

The chance that Tracy experimented it's very striking, before, she was a good girls, she studied and take care to her family, and after met Evie she completely change, she was a bad girl, she was under the influence of the drugs all the day.







At the book, we can have a look at the middle-aged Mole's life in England. His life was very sad, because his parents are divoriced and she don't have love about nobody.

The book, for me, was a little boring, but I loved, and the film for me, was very interesting and represented the real life about the teenagers girls.

Oral presentation

Hi everybody, my name is Cristina Malirach and today I will talk about my pets.

I have two dogs, they are called Llampec and Quisso. Llampec is nine years, on the 20th November he will be 10 years and Quisso is 9 years, on the 15th of May he will be 10 years.

The Llampec’s breed is Golden retriever, he is white and his eyes are brown. The Quisso’s breed is mongrel, Quisso has 3 colours in his skin: brown, black and white, and his eyes are brown too.
I don’t know where Llampec was born, because my aunt gave my family this dog, he was from a dog shelter in Figueras.

Llampec was a Christmas present for my brother. On the King’s day my mother gave a present to my brother, and this present was a cuddly toy dog and my brother cried because he wanted a real dog. After, when we went to my aunt’s restaurant she gave my brother the real dog, Llampec.

When he arrived at my house he was only 3 months, and he was very afraid. At the nights he slept with my brother in his bedroom and he cried all the time. After 2 weeks he was happy at home, and he had confidence.

Quisso was born in la Bisbal, my grandmother’s friend had a dog, an the dog had 4 sons and 4 daughters, and she gave all the puppies away. I went at her house and I chose Quisso. When he arrived at home Llampec was very happy with him because he could play now.

The name Llampec was chosen by my brother because Llampec, when he was little, he was never quiet, and he ran all the time into the garden and my brother said “he’s as fast as lightening”. And this is the reason.
The name Quisso was chosen by me, and Quisso is a God’s name, and I like it.

In my house, Llampec and Quisso sleep in a room on the ground floor, but in this room we have all the things for swimming, like floats, deckchairs… Now, the room it’s no more the swimming pool room, now is the crazy room, because the dogs play with all the things!

This year, we had problems with Llampec because one day, when I was walking LLampec, I saw him walking wrongly, he was limping. My mother decided to wait 24 hours before taking him to the vet’s, because often he has a little pain in his legs because of his age, and she had reason. The after day Llampec walked right, and we didn’t have any more problems.

Llampec is very jealous, when I stroke Quisso, he is very jealousy and goes quickly to my hand and puts my hand in his head. He doesn’t love to go out, and watch other dogs in his house, because he doesn’t understand he doesn’t play with they, and he cries! Llampec loves to play, he plays all the time, and definitely if a burgler came to my house, he would play with him.

Quisso loves the hot water, when I shower him in the summer, I must use hot water, even though the temperature is 40C. He is afraid of my swimming pool, because one day he felts in the swimming pool. And the water is cold. Quisso doesn’t love to run, he is very lazy and he loves to eat and sleep in the sun, his life is a happy life!

Llampec is a dog, but sometimes he is like a cat because he catches mice! He love looking for mice, lizards, birds and catching them.

One day, Quisso, put his face in a cat flap in the door to look and he came out with regret because in this house fighting cats lived, and the cats fought his face. My little dog cried because he only wanted to play with them! The cats were cruel with him.

In conclusion, my pets have a happy life with me. I speak with them, I explain my life and they appear to understands me. When I’m sad, they make me happy, I love my dogs!


Thank-you for your attention!

She can then be heard arguing with her aunt Rhonda Coshatt who is heard on the call saying: 'No I did not kill your baby, you did.'

The gruesome death in Bartlesville, Oklahoma left many of the emergency crews and police who responded to the incident in tears.
A veteran police chief, who has witnessed multiple murders and gangland shootings, said it was
the most tragic crime scene he has ever investigated.






Summary:

This report talks about a mother called Lyndsey Fiddler, and her ten-day-old-baby called Maggie-May Fiddler. The mother put her daughter in the washing machine when she was under the effects of drugs. The baby was in the washing machine for 40 minutes, with a pile of laundry. The Lyndsey’s aunt came to the house, and found the mother on the floor unconscious and she didn’t found the baby.
After, she heard a strange sound from the washing machine and the baby was here. When Lyndsey called the police she said “my baby is dead”, and Rhonda said “No, you kill your baby”. The people who has saw the baby, said that is the most tragic crime scene.


My opinion:

This success it’s very sad, I’m shocked when I read this. When the mother was no longer under the influence of the drugs she was repented of her act, because for a drugs (a stupid thing for me) she killed her baby unintentionally. Now, she had a judice and she is at the prison.



If I was mayor of Castelló d'Empúries

Today I will explain my plans If I was mayor of Castelló. Before, I will explain something about my town.

Castelló d’Empúries is a little town
in l’Alt Empordà with 10.000 inhabitants approximately. The town is 12km from Figueres, the capital of l’Alt Empordà. Castelló, at the moment has many problems, we don’t have money. The lack of money is an important problem, because the council doesn’t organize festivals or activities for the young people. W go out on Sunday afternoon, and all the things are closed, we can’t do anything in the town.

In the Council, between themselves there are problems, they discuss all the time for who has power, many people want to b
e the mayor; but now, it’s my time to become mayor of Castelló.
If I was the mayor, firstly I must to make peace with all the politicians, because it’s very difficult to work with angry people. After that, I would unite all the political parties to talk about the lack money and find solutions for these problems. Later I would organised a meeting with the inhabitants to explain the situation, and the solutions.

And when, the town starts to be in harmony, not a conflicting group.
My first creation f
or the town, If I was mayor would be was to create a place, where we can meet, watch a film with friends, talk about everything, play with other teenagers…

In conclusion, I would to improve the life in this town.
