The 8th of March was a strange day for all Spain. If you know, the weather is crazy now because of the global warming.
I'm going to tell you the story in my view. I stand up how every day at 6:30 in the morning. It was very cold outside and it was very cloudy. I had my breakfast normally and puted on my clothes. At 7:20 I leaved my house and went to the bus stop to catch the school bus. I was talking to my friend and we sayed: "I hope that today will snow!". We went to school and we have done normally class. At the second hour we were in economy and it begans to snow. After the third hour there was so much snow that the teachers decided that we could go home. It was very stressed to wait for the bus because all the children were very nervous.
When we arrived at home, my sister and I went out in the garden to play with the snow, and we did a very big snowman. Also my dog was happy in the snow, at first he was a little bit scared because it was the first time that he has seen snow.
But there were bad things too, we haven't got electricity and water during two days. It was not so good, because we couldn't do any food and also we couldn't have a shower! And sometimes it was boring because we couldn't watch the tv or play with the computer. During these days I realized that now we are depending on electricity very much. But it was good because the next day we haven't to go to school. :)
That's all, I hope you liked my blog and GOOD HOLIDAYS!

Last writing...SUMMER =D
Heeey, this is my last writing for this year and it is very difficult to choose a topic to talk about because I think I have talked about all my things. So I decided to write a little bit about the summer.This year the summer holidays will be very short for me I think. I have a lot of things to do. When I finish the school my cousin comes from Germany to do some holidays here, and I hope that it will be a good time. I also have to work on the evenings. Then in July comes a very good friend of mine from Malaysia (I have talked about her in a previous post), she will stay her for three or four weeks and also it will be a very good time because I have to show her all about my town. We will go to the beach and swimmingpool, go to visit Girona and Barcelona and do a trip to the mountains.
In August, my sister and I are going to travel to Germany for one week. We are going to stay at my grandparents house in Hannover and then two or three days at my cousin's house. After that, I think at the 14 of August, my sister, my cousin, my aunt and I are going to travel to the USA for one week. We are going to visit New York and the Niagara Falls. I'm so exited! I'm very happy to have this oportunity to travel to NY, I think I will love it.
When I come back it's almost September, and then I'm going to make use of my free time and go out with my friends. Then I have another problem... during the summer I have to do my "treball de reserca", and I'm going to do it in english!!!!!!
Satellite ♥
Yesterday, the 29th of May 2010, was the Eurovision song contest in Oslo.
I had long looked forward to the evening, because I like a lot Lena, she is the singer who sings for Germany. I love her song "Satellite" since she has won a competition on the german tv. This song is so good that Lena was on the number one during some weeks! All Germany is crazy about her because she sings so good and has a wonderful voice. Also she has her own style, and she is a little bit crazy and not shy. All Germany hoped that she will win the ESC.
During the competitions there were a lot of good songs too. I liked a lot the song of France and Denmark. But of course I voted for Lena, I could it do because I'm here in Spain. And you know that every country can't vote for himself. And at the end Spain given 12 points to Germany! And a lot of other countries given good points to Lena, it's a sign that a lot of people like her and her song. I hope that she will be famous in all over the world!!! :)
When Lena won the competition, all Germany was happy and in good mood. There is a big pary now in Hannover, because it's the city where Lena comes from.
Here is the video clip of the winner song!

FUTURE
Every time it's more difficult to choose a topic to talk about, so now I've chose to talk about my future. In the last few months I was thinking a lot about this problem, and it has become clear to me that I have to think seriously about it, because it's a very important decision what I'm going to do in some years. Increasingly people ask me what I'm going to do in the future, and always I answer with a "I don't know yet".
Of course one of my proposals is to finish batxillerat, and with good marks. Then I'm going to do the selectivitat and I hope that it will not be difficult for me and I pass.
Then I'm not sure if I go to the university, or do a gap year. I think that I'm going to do a gap year first, because I need a pause after these years of hard working. How I said in the previous post, I would like to travel to Malaysia for three or four months to visit a good friend and for learn more english. My father told me that there I can visit an english school, and it wolud be easier to learn english because I always have to speak in english to conform with the everyday life. At the same time I would work in a cafe or restaurant to earn my own money.
After this gap year I would study in the university in Berlin, Germany. But now I don't know what I'm going to study.
This are my actualy plans for my future, but perhaps this plans change in one year. I hope not ;)

My friends.
Hello, today I'm going to talk a little bit about one of my best friends.
Of course I have good friends here in Spain, but today I'm going to talk about my friend who lifes far away in another country and in another continent.
I would talk about Huixian, she is a 16 old girl and she lives in Malaysia. I know her because she is the godchild of my fater's girlfriend Irene. I've never seen her because she lives so far away but this summer she will come for three weeks for holidays at my house. I'm very nervous because I want to see her. I was very surprised when my father and Irene told me that she will come this July.
I only have spoken to her by messenger or facebook and always she was nice and friendly to me.
She is a very extroverted person and always has good ideas. She never is bored or tired. I hope that we will unterstand us so well how we do it through the internet.
And one plan of mine is, after finishing 2nd Batxillerat and the selectivitat, to travel to Malaysia for three or four months to visit Huixian. And of course also for learning more english! :)
I love her a lot, because she is how my little cousin!

News: 50 cent 25 kilos lighter.
The U.S. rapper 50 Cent starved himself down 25 kilograms and is barely recognizable. But his fans do not have to worry.
The rapper took off for a movie. In "Things Fall Apart" plays 50 Cent, who's real name is Curtis Jackson, a cancer-stricken football player.
The hunger was tough, says the 33-year-old singer. Within nine weeks, he had reduced his weight with the help of liquid food and exercise from 97 to 72 kilograms. But now he weigh again nearly 90 kilograms.
To motivate during the diet, took 50 cents actors like Robert de Niro, Tom Hanks, Renee Zellwegger, or a model, all of which changed her wight for film rolls.
In my opinion, I think that it's not good when people reduce her/his weight only for do a film. Maybe it's good when you loose some kilograms, but not so much that you look ill.
I'm happy that 50 cent looks normal again now!

We have almost learnt to respect our world
I disagree with the statement that we have almost learnt to respect our world. In my opinion, we do the oposite because we don't care about the earth and contaminate it a lot. Another problem is that some people don't have tolerance with other humans.
At first, in my opinion I think that we contaminate too much. The humans don't think and realize about this problem, so it seems to me that in the future it will be the biggest problem ever.
The most responsible for this problem are the factories and the traffic, because they don't control too much what types of toxic gas they drop in the space. So they create pollution.
Also some people don't respect the environment and throw rubbish on the ground and in the sea, this can also afect animal and plant life.
Secondly, I think that the other problem is that some people don't respect cultures and religions from other persons from another countries and continents, so it causes violence between humans. I hope that one day everyone in this world will accept diferent cultures and religions. So the problem of racism would be solved.
In conclusion, I would say that in my opinion we haven't learnt to respect our world because there is a lot of contamination and racism. I hope that the countries will act with more responsibilty and could reduce a little bit these two problems, so the possibilty that the world exists more time is bigger.

Film review.
Hey, today I'm going to talk about a film I saw yesterday with my sister on the TV: "Cheaper by the dozen 2".
It's a film produced in 2005 and it's the continue of the first part: Cheaper by the dozen. Both are comedys with a lot of humor and they are very funny.
The argument of the story consist of two families that the fathers of each are angry with each other. One familiy has 8 children and they are very good educated. The father of them is very strictly and he expects that each of his children will study on a good university and becomes famous. The other familiy has 12 children, and the parents are very normal and the children live a normal life too, how children have to life...having fun! These two families known them on holidays and it begins a hard fight to win the competition race that they do every year on the holiday camp.
I liked this movie a lot. I also loved the first part so I wanted to see the second part too. I don't know wich I liked more because both were fantastic and very funny.
There were a lot of famous actors that I like, for example: Steve Martin, Tom Welling and Hilary Duff. But there were more famous actors like Eugene Levy and Carmen Electra.
I have to say that the actors did it very good, because there were a lot of funny moments that they have to play.
I love comedys, and these was a good one!

Reflection about my oral presentation.
Hi, today I'm going to talk about my oral presentation I did last week about animals in danger of extinction.
I'm very happy about my presentation, I think I did it good and at any rate the best I did this year.
It was not difficult to chose the topic I would talk about, because I love animals and I think that is is a very big problem that so many species are in extinction, and the worst is that humans are the most responsibles for that problem.
Also it was not difficult to find good information, because this problem is very current now in the world and there is a lot of information in the internet. But for preparate my presentation I took a long time because I had to do my text and the power point.
Before the presentation I was nervous, but not so much than the others presentations. I was very secure of my text and I had a good feeling. During the presentation I was more nervous but I think that I did it good and that my pronunciation was good. Of course there are things I can improve for next year for example watch more at the audience, speak louder and not get so nervous.
I would give me a mark of 8! :)

Transcription of my oral presentation
ANIMALS IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION
Hello, today I'm going to explain you about my social topic I have chosen: Animals in danger of extinction.
At first I'm going to tell you the causes why so many species are in extinction, and then I'm going to show you some examples of the most in danger animals.
There are two big groups to differentiate: One is natural causes and the other is human causes.
Natural causes
● Climatic Heating and Cooling: Climate Change is caused by a number of things. The effect that climate has on extinction is very big. When the weather changes very fast and very strong, and the difference of temperature is very big, some species of animals don't have a chance to survive. Because when it's very cold the food for them is freezing and when it's to hot, normally there is no water.
● Acid rain: Another naural cause is the acid rain. The problem is when this rain falls on the earth, it increases the acidity and it affects on plant life. And when the animals eat the plants they become ill and die.
● Diseases: The last problem is that each species has defense mechanisms like immunities and the ability to fight diseases. But with the changing climate some spacies are losing their ability and become ill.
Human causes
● Climate change: The humans are the most responsible of the climate changing, so we are the responsibles of some natural causes I have said before.
● Destruction of habitat: There is another problem, the humans are building new citys everywhere, and for that they have to destroy a lot of woods where a lot of animals live. So a lot of them where dead or died because they had no food.
● Pollution: And the last problem is pollution. Pollution is the introducction of toxic gas in the space. The most responsibles for that are the factories because they don't control too much what gases they leave in the space. Another tipes of pollution are fire, farming and building of citys.
Examples of animals in danger
Now I'm going to show you some of the animals that are in danger of extintion.
● Siberian Tiger: It's a tipe of tiger which lives in Siberia. It's a very big animal and it could arrive to dispite more that 300 kilos. They are white and black and now only exists 200 of this specie in the world.
● Giant otter: Has disappeared in Uruguay and only a few left in Argentina.
● Iberian imperial Eagle: There are only 150 pairs left free.
● Sea turtle: Chased by collectors and offered in luxury restaurants.
● Scarlet Macaw: Imported in large quantities to the USA.
● African Black Rhinoceros: There are only 2.000 left. During the 1970s there were more than 65.000.
● Giant Panda: They were used by Zoos and wanted for their skin. There are only 1.000 left in the World.
So, in conclusion, in my opinion I think that it's a very big problem because in maybe 100 years, a lot of spacies will have disappeared from the world only because the humans don't care about it. And I hope that in the future we will give more importance to this problem.
So, my presentation finishes here, have you any questions?

Dear Laura,
Thanks for your letter. I was very surprised and happy to hear about you. I hope that you're well. In your letter you asked me if I can recommend you some holiday destinations, and I was thinking a lot off it and I think that you would like go to Germany very much, where I go every summer.
I can very recommend you to visit Berlin. It's the capital of Germany and it's a very big and beautiful city. It's full of interesting places, for example you can go to have a look at the "Brandenburger Tor", it's a very big portal in the middle of the city and it deserves a look. Also there are very good shopping malls where you can buy a lot of things. But there are some good museums too, for example the German Historical Museum, I know that you like other countries history a lot, so I hope that that sounds interesting to you.
Hannover could be interesting too, it's a city only one hour from Berlin by train and I would be very proud if you went there, because it's the city where I come from and it would be nice for you to see where and how I grew up. This city is not as big, as Berlin, so it's calmer and still, and in some streets and parks it's very quiet and you can relax a lot in beautiful cafés.
When you prefer sightseeing, this city is perfect for you because there are a lot of old churches full of history and culture, and I think you will love the old part of the city.
I hope that this information is enough to convince you to travel to Germany and visit these cities. When ever you like I can send you more information about other interesting parts of this country.
Ah, and of course when you go in winter don't forget the snow shoes!
Keep in touch.
Love,
Kim
