We have almost learnt to respect our world. Do you agree?

Nowadays nearly the whole world is concerned about the problems of our environment. There're lots of people working on reaching the way to stop or at least decrease them. Nevertheless, the solutions they find out are not taken into account for everyone.
I think that poeple could do much more to respect the world. The ozone depletion and the global warming are always increasing. There are many things you can do to stop it or not making it higher, nobody care, though. On the other hand, the deforestation is also rising every day and lots of woods areas are now golf resorts. So, do you still think that we are respecting our world?
Furthermore, because of these and other facts, lots of animal especies are becoming extinct. Not only because of changing them their natural environment, but for hunting their preys also.
In conclusion, I think that we should and we could respect much more our environment. There might be more information of all the things you could do to stop all these problems. However, I really don't care about people doing them at all.

informal letter.

Dear Iris,
I received your letter yesterday. How's everything in Canterbury? Are you enjoying it and improving your English? Well, I hope you're having fun!
In Chester everything is going perfectly. My host family is very nice. There's a woman called Jane and her daughters who are twins. They're eighteen so we get on really well.
The town is so charming. In the venings we usually go to such a lovely park near the river which we found out the second day. I've done many good friends here. What about you? Are there many nice persons?
Yesterday was a strange day for me. Jess, one of my host sosters, was bringing me to the downtown when the car broke down suddenly. We had to call the crane and I finally arrived an hour late to the meeting. Then, luckily for me, I came across twenty pounds on the floor and later I received your letter so I was really happy!
When are you setting off from Canterbury? I'd like to meet you when we'll be both home.
Best wishes,

Júlia

FRANKENSTEIN: the film vs the book

I'm going to tell you some of the differences I saw between the book and the film. I'm afraid I won't be able to put them all in the perfect order 'cause I don't remeber it very well.

- At the begining, the monster appears on a sledge in the book, while he is going by foot in the film.
- Justine's mother (whose name we don't know) just appears in the film, while Ernest (Vicor's youngest brother) just appears in the book.
- Victor's mother dies because of an illness in the book, and giving birth to Victor in the film.
- In the film the guardians hang a man who thinks that the doctors who are vaccuning everyone because there's an epidemic are liars. This don't happen in the book.
- In the film, they have a party when Victor goes to the university.
- While in the book Victor meets Henry during the infancy, in the film they meet in the university.
- Victor's teacher dies in the film, but he doesn't in the book.
- The experiment is not completly secret in the book, Henry and the teacher know about it.
- In the film the laboratory it's not in a far island like in the book.
- Victor doesn't go to the prison in the film.
- What does not happen in the book is that, the monster saves Felix from another man who hit him and then they enter to the house.
- In the film the monster doesn't save a girl from a river.
- There's no trial before hanging Justine in the film.
- While in the book the photo of William's chain is from Victor's mother, in the film is from Victor.
- Victor's father dies of sadness because of Elizabeth's death in the book, but he's killed by the monster in the film.
- In the film Victor finally cannot continue with the female monster because it was the Justine's body.
- In the book, the monster drown Elizabeth, while he pulls out her heart in the film.
- In the film, Victor wants to give life to Elizabeth again 'cause he can't stand beeing without her. Then she wakes up and realises that is like the monster, although she recognizes Victor. After she commites suicide.
- The monster burns himself near the Victor's dead body in the film.
- Henry doesn't die in the film.

Beeing a celebrity is a great thing.

When somebody asks you who would you like to be, you usually anwer giving the name of a celebrity. So, looking at this fact, we generally think that be a celebrity would be great.
Of course, there are lots of greats things on beeing a famous person. You have got a lot of money, you can go shopping at the fifth avenue every day and you can travel around the world in the best hotels. Moreover, you know lots of famous ppersons and you are invited to chic parties or events like the past Oscar Awards.
Nevertheless, there are some disadvantatges on beeing known around the world. You haven't got any private life even if you want to because you have got the paparzzies behind you durind the whole day.
So I think that, despite of having a lot of money, it has to be horrible to be followed by someone who you don't know and asks you for your life.

Description of a person

The person who I’m going to write a description about is called Nuri Galí Bellapart. She’s sixteen as me, and she is one of my best friends since I’m in Castelló.

Nuri is quite tall, I think she is 1.67metres, so she is up the average. She’s quite thin, although her body is really strong. She has got long and well-structured legs and curious and quite small feet.

Her mouth is a little bit small, despite of having a nice smile. She had been wearing brackets for one year and a half, so her teeth are in the correct order. She has a got an average nose, although I always say to her that it is really big. She has got a long, brown, bright and wavy hair, so I like it because she can bring it straight or curly easily, quite the opposite of me. Finally, I’m going to pay attention to her eyes. I think they are really fascinating. They are the first think you see when you look at her. They are really big and they have different colours. Even though the predominant is the blue-green, there’s a little of brown in the middle.

Her character is really characteristic. She's an active, and very nervous person, she's never still. She is also cheerful, frienly, extroverted and kind. She is always there to help or just tolisten to you when you need it.

She is quite sportive. She loves horses (she has got two) and she goes to ride them every saturday. She likes swimming in summer, when she comes to my swimming pool I always have to wait for her to go out of it. Another of her hobbies is going shopping, she loves it. We usually go together. I think she wears really well, she matches every cloth with another one combining their colour and their style with a perfect result.

In conclusion, I think she is a perfect firend, with who you can laugh, talk, study, go out or play.

Dear Ms. Pintó,
I'm writing to you because I would like to let you know some personal good and bad points of the highschool so that it'll be easier for you to improve, solve or change things.
I think that the highschool is well-equiped of computers and projectors, so the clases are more entertained and we pay attention to the screen. The play-ground is really big and there are two courts where we can play whatever we want. The gymnasium is also really big and there's lotsof materials to practise different exercices.
On the other hand, I think that there are some things that could be included in the highschool to make it better like a bar or an events-room. In my opinion, I think that the image of the highschool is quite bored, so a touch of colour could be okey, although on Christmas is really beautiful. Finally, I think that it would be a good idea to have a door on the other side of the actual one, because we have got to do a big detour to go outside.
These are my opinions about the highschool, I hope they help you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely.

Reflections about Thirteen & Adrian Moole

I'm going to reflect about what I've understood of them and about my thoughts related to the adolescenthood and all it involves.
They show us how different can be the same period lived by differents persons. The both main actors have problems in their live, but a really different ones.
On the first hand we've got Tracy, a thirteen year old girl who doesn't like herself and wants to change and become popular. What she didn't know, tough, is that it would include drugs, sex or other addictions. She starts to get on well with Evie, the most popular girls in the school, who pushes Tracy to all that rude things. All that changes also include a routine arguments of Tracy and Mel, and Tracy's father doesn't react in front of the problem.
On the other hand, we've got Adrian, a thirteen year old boy who is worried abou his spots and helps elderly people. He delivers the newspaper, loves his grandma, worries about his mother unknowledge of vitamins, he's in love with Pandora (who was first going out with Nigel, his best friend) and he is hit by Barry Kent.
Looking on the differents caracters we can see that there are infinite ways to life your adolescenthood, it can be harder or easier, but you always have your own problems and worries.

First email.

Hi Gemma!
I've done so many things this summer.
First of all, I went for five days to a camping in Platja d'Aro with my aunt and my cousins, we were all day sunbathing in the beach, so I went really brown, but then, as you know, I went to Chester, and I became white again. The two weeks I stayed in Chester were amazing, I enjoyed it a lot, I made new friends and, of course, I improved my English. The whole day excursions were to Liverpool (really beautiful) and Manchester.
In August (15th to 25th), I went to Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava with my parents, but the one that I liked most was Budapest.
And, during all the summer, I've been teaching Maths and Spanish to a nine year old boy.
See you!

"Horror" story.

White

As every day, Peter woke up at seven o’clock and stayed in the bed for a while, then he got up and went to the bathroom for having a shower. When he had gone out from the shower and had got dressed he realized that there was no door, it had disappeared, there was just a white wall with no cracks or stains. He was becoming quite nervous because he didn’t like enclosed places and he didn’t have any idea of what was happening, there was a window, though. In spite of the fact that he though to go out of the bathroom for the window when he achieved to go out he saw that there was just a huge white wall, there wasn’t his garden. He entered to the bathroom again, more nervous now, and checked that now the bath had also disappeared. After a while, there was nothing in the room, just Peter. He though: “Peter, you’ve got to sit down, relax, and think about what’s happening” so, he sat down, relaxed and though about his situation. As the time ran, he realized that the room was becoming smaller and smaller, and when the walls and the ceiling were starting to touch him he saw that he was wearing that type of shirts which you cannot move your arms, he was in a psychiatric hospital.
