My favorite music,,♥
I was thinking a lot for what I could write today, and I decided to talk a little bit about my favorite music. In my opinion it's a very interesting topic because everyone likes different tipes of music.
And I have to say that I like a little bit of all. But the music a like the most is in english of course ;-)
First, I like very much pop music, also all the music that plays on the radio, for example on FlaixBack.. at my house all the day the radio is on. On this tipes of radio programme the music is very different and there were sometimes songs that I didn't like, but normally the music is very good. And I also have to say that some days I didn't like to hear all that tipes of new music how for example pop, rock and house... I like to hear old music. Music from the period of our parents. There are some very good old CLASSIC songs that are beautiful and the texts are very interesting and full of love. Sometimes I ask a friend of me if he/she know who is that singer, and he/she didn't know it! And I think that is unbelivable because it's a legend of music and they didn't know him/her... of course he/she is a little bit older than we but he/she was or is very famous and it's a MUST to know him/her. hahaha :)
Now I'm going to talk a little bit about my favorite singers and favorites groupes.
I have a lot of singerst that I like, for example Justin Timberlake, Milow, Beyoncé, Alanis Morrisette, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Alicia Keys, etc.
But there are some good groups too: Black eyed peas, Cobra Starship, One Republic and Owl City.
Another thing is that I never had a favorite song forever. I change every week, and every day I descover new songs that I like, and when I found a good song I hear it 20 or 30 times, and finaly I'm tired and I change.
In the last days I liked very much two songs, here you can see it. One is "If we ever meet again" from Katy Perry feat. Timbaland and the other is "Fireflies" from Owl City.

Empuriabrava
Hello everybody, today I'm going to talk about Empuriabrava, it's the small town where I live.
Empuriabrava is situated next to the Mediterranean sea, in the Costa Brava. It's a very beautiful town, it's very popular for tourist from all Europe.
During the year there live not so many people, approximatly 5,000 persons. But in the summer there were a lot of tourist and in July and August the town is very full, approximatly 80,000 people. This is possible because a 75% of the houses in Empuriabrava are apartments to rent.
The town is so popular because it has two very beautiful and big beaches with white sand, a lot of good restaurants and pubs and good places to shopping.
I think that in winter it isn't good to live in Empuriabrava because there aren't any people and it is quite boring, and when it's cold, there aren't any things to do because a lot of shops are closed.
In summer it's different, because the weather is always good and you are all the day outside and enjoy it. It's very good that the beach is so near because you can get the bycicle and arrive there in 5 minuts. Another option is to swim in the swimmingpool, I think that every house in Empuriabrava has a swimmingpoolm and when not there is a public pool where you always can go and relax a little bit. And when you like do sport you can go to the gym, it's next to the public swimmingpool, and there you can keeping in shape if you like.
For young people there are some good pubs for the night, for example Sikim, Milk and Saloon. And a lot of good discos: Pasarel·la, Pacha, Viva, Noche Latina... and in summer there are very full!
Empuriabrava is very popular for the canals too, there are more than 30 km of canals and 5,000 parking places for the boats.
Moreover Empuriabrava is a popular place for skydiving because it has an airport, from which one can in windless weather in one of the largest skydiving centers in Europe.
Also the town has two or three surf schools on the beach, and one next to the river Muga, where you can start to practise windsurfing if you never had done it and learn very fast.
that's all :)

Horror-hurricane 'Xynthia': More deaths than 'Cyril'
NEWS
Meteorological bomb: More than 60 deaths in Europe
Dreadful record: The Orkantief 'Xynthia has' seized in Western Europe at least 62 people to death and caused damage amounting to millions. In France alone, according to civil defense are 50 people were killed and nine others were still missing. Up to 180 miles per hour with gusts quickly raced over Germany on Sunday. Seven people died. On roads, rail and air the traffic chaos broke out.
Especially bad was 'Xynthia' on the French Atlantic coast. With wind speeds of nearly 200 kilometers occurred mainly along the coast of Vendée and Charente Maritime for dyke breaches and floods. In La Rochelle, the city was flooded, the storm washed yachts in the harbor to the docks. President Nicolas Sarkozy was shocked when he saw the devastation and the dead bodies.

Frankenstein
Since the scientist experiment on human life, there have been a lot of good experiences to help people with illnesses, but there are some bad experiences too, for example accidents.
On one hand, experiments on humans can help to the scientists and doctors to discover about life and all the illnesses that exist in the humanity, and so they can invent new medicines to help us.
On the other hand, there is always a risk when the scientists experiment on human life, because there could be an accident, so they have to know what they are doing and be very sure about it. For example cloning people is not a good idea because each person is anique and a clone can't replace them. And for the clon isn't a good thing too, because it's not nice to be only a copy.
in my opinion I agree that some scientists experiment on human life to discover about some illnesses, but I really disagree with putting life into a dead body how it did Victor Frankenstein because it is very nasty to create a new creature and then don't love it.

Reflection about my oral presentation.
I'm not so happy with my oral presentation because I think I could have done it better.
The day before the oral presentation I could all my text in memory, but during the presentation I forgott a lot of things because I was very nervous. And that is one of the thing that bother me, always I'm nervous and I don't know why. I hope that one day it will be better.
On the begining I wasn't so nervous and in my opinion I spoke good, so that everyone could understand me. But then, after two or three minuts I was more nervous and at the final I had to read a lot.
A part from that, I think that our presentation was good, because we had a lot of new information about New Zealand that we don't know before, and our power point was nice and I hope that everyone could understand it.
Another thing is that I found that oral presentation more difficult, because we had to search a lot of information and we had to study our text. The first presentation was easier because it was a personal topic and we haven't to study a lot because all the information is about you and easy to remember.
I hope that the third presentation will be better as this.
I would gave me a mark of 7.
