MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE IN 2015

Imagine now that you have to show your English level to apply for your university/studies/work. From your portfolio/space of 1st batxillerat and 2nd batxillerat choose:

- Your best oral evidence  (podcast or presentation) --> http://lydiapereiraenglishblog.blogspot.com.es/2015/03/dialogue_11.html 

- Your best written evidence  (composition, forum, blogpost, summary...) -->  http://lydiapereiraenglishblog.blogspot.com.es/2015/05/18s.HTML

- Insert the Links of your best oral evidence and best written evidence (URL of the post on your blog)

- Why have you chosen these evidence and not the others?

- What specifically makes it your best work according to you?

   Use personal and linguistic arguments to support your point.

I’ve chosen the last dialoge I did as my best oral evidence because I remember that was the best idea for a dialogue. I recorded it with Giorgia and we came up with the spontaneous idea of two old women. The idea was incredible, the dialogue turned out to be funny and the vocabulary was correct.

The other one I’ve chosen is one of my latest posts. I’ve chosen this one for two reasons: First, for the good expressions and gramar, and secondly, for the experience that I explain in the text, which is my eighteenth birthday! I think I’ve written it very well because the topic that I’ve chosen is an important day and experience of my life.

I think that if I had to choose some of my posts, these ones would be my best ones mainly because of the topics  explain there.

1.2

After these years writing on my blog, I can see some differences in my posts, such as some gramatical mistakes that today I see but when I wrote the text I couldn’t see.
Besides, in my opinion, I have changed a lot my style because when I started the blog I used to put a lot of pictures and I combined the text with pictures. However, now I still put some pictures but I have a lot of posts without them, like the newest one.
The topic of my first post was a dream, labeled under the yoursay’s tag. The other is a new, which isn't complicated because if you were focused on reading the text, you can write a good post.
I think that my English changes since the first post I wrote are fantastic.

NEW 3: GLORIOUS MOMS OF THE ANIMALS KINGDOM

The elephants are  intelligent animals that love their family. The article explains that some humans are in  Africa when the youngest elephant goes to them. The Little elephant starts to do some sounds that alerts his mom. The person who is there says that the elephant tells to his mother than  humans are between they because their car was situated inter mother and son.

He also explains that the elephant mother helps her son to go away without a lesion. That's incredible, the natural things are inimaginable.

NEW 1: "INCREDIBLE SHRINKING CAR" DRIVES SIDEWAYS TO PARK IN TINY SPACES

DICTIONARY WORDS:
shrink tiny

A German cientifics team invented a new experience and a new innovation that is an estrange car that is  like a crab shrink with a simple wheels movement and with it you can pass of all tiny spaces.

They invented that because when they're in a  hurry to go work, they always find a lot of cars and no space to park the car. Now with that great invent they can find the parking easily and also they can pass with other streets that don't be the principal routes and also the consume is different because it's electric!

I think that's a good idea and if they need that, they find the key.

CARTOONS

The cartoons changed a lot throughout the years.

Some years ago, cartoons were some happy draws that talked and had adventures with their friends in some fantastic places.

Nowadays that prototype of cartoons has changed.  because now the cartoons were be some people that pass some thinks that will be passed in every family but without an adequate vocabulary or character.

I think that the bests cartoons that we have now in television were the cartoons that was there since our parent's days like Heidi or the Human body, that were the authentical cartoons and with them the children learn some moral values like friendship, something that the nowadays children don't have because they prefer the play3.

YOUTUBE CRITICS

Hey, what's up kids? Is everything  ok? Is everything alright ? and I am happy for that!

(Hey, ¿qué pasa chavales? ¿todo bien? ¿todo correcto? ¡Y yo que me alegro!)

Do you know what I mean?

Yes, that was the introduction of AuronPlay at all of his videos.

Auron Play is a famous youtuber that uploads weekly videos with critics to every topics. He was sometimes on tv where he explains his experience.

I'm very fan of Auron because he does good videos where he says some things that everyone thinks but nobody would say.  He  do jokes and you can send him your comments and some proposals to new videos.

Other famous youtubers are Rubious or Fortfast WTF









THE AURON'S DIRECTION

FUTURE PLANS

The future will be near and I'm excited because I will pass the Institut del Teatre tests and enter to that excellent dramatic school to study theatre.

Everyday of my life I said that I would be an actress, I would play the big Shakespeare's acts like Hamlet or Macbeth.

I'm not a greedy person. I wouldn't be famous for money or fame. I will be an actress because I love acting, I like everything that is related with theatre, cinema or music. All my future life is based on that, on art themes.

That's my dream and I will fight for it till the end!

EXAMS

Hello to everybody!

I'm very stressed because that week is going to be the most difficult of all school year! everyday we have an exam!
If you don't pass the exam, I mean if you fail, you have the opportunity to retake the exam.
That's a bad period but we need to see the good part of all of that. Next year, If we have goodwill, we could study something that we want and that would be incredible!
All our efforts have good results, but we need to concentrate! Even if the route is difficult  the results will be excellent. It's worth it!

18's.

Last third of May  was my birthday. Now I'm eighteen and I'm like an adult but with Young cravings.

This year my birthday was very special. My fiends Nil and Giorgia prepared a game that consists in riding a bicycle and finding some cards in Castelló. These cards were very special because they showed me places where Giorgia, Nil and I passed good adventures and funny moments.

When I finished the route and got home, another surprise was waiting for me! They have been prepared a birthday cake and a present that was a photo of us in our childhood. That was a lovely present.

My  friends also made me a surprise birthday dinner and  gave me lots of presents, one of them was money to spend on a theatre ticket, something that I love.

And finally, the last present was from my parents  (because the other ones were the day before). They gave me a parachute jump as a present. That was one of the best experiences of my life!!

I'm very happy to be eighteen years old, and  I'm also very happy to start my adulthood like this.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISAVANTAGES OF HAVE A PET?

When you have pets, it's like having "real" friends because all animals have feelings that they can show to us in there way.

But, in my opinion not all the pets are comparable because is different to have a dog or have a fish... Why? Because when you have a dog you have an authentical friend  that takes care and consoles you when you are sad. However an animal without a lot of mind capacity, the fish, they can transmit to you their gratitude when you take care of it.

On the other hand I think that when you have pets you have a some disadvantages like  they can transmit or suffer from desease or the problems with there transport, for example.

When you have pets, normally you love them all and when they die you have also a sad period because they are like people.

SUMMARY:

Liesl Gerntholtz explains in this article the situation of the young pregnants at Sierra Leone. They situation is complicate because when the womens are pregnant they haven't the school right. That's the principal cause of the iliteracy reason and that increase with the violation and the marriage arrangements.

COMMENT:

1) In my country the situation is different because when a young woman is pregnant, and she's studying, the governement admits her into a school and also she can demands, for example, a private teacher whose help her to outpace the studies without a lost day.

2) Yes, I think that if some people try to do in Sierra Leone a school only to them, they can continue they studies.
