FINAL EVALUATION OF 1st BATXILLERAT:

FINAL EVALUATION OF 1st BATXILLERAT:

I read my first post in my portfolio, and I can see a lot of differences than my final post.
My fluency in the first term is not good, but in the final of the third term, I feel happy, because I have improved my fluency and I haven't got so many problems than the first term.
My oral presentations are very different, I don't like first oral, the second oral lither, but the last oral presentation in first batxillerat is much better! I dominate the topic and I have good intonation, the rhythmic of my voice is quite good and I feel cheerful.
I think the activity which improve my level of English is the oral presentation, because this activity forces people to prepare and study the presentation and work your intonation, your fluency, your words and your sentences.
The public is very important, because you have nerves and you learn the form to kill this nerves, and I think this is very important.
I don't see any activities which don't improve my English level, because when you write, listen and speak in English, you have learn. Therefore, you always learn English!
The funnier activities are the oral presentations, see the others of the class, because you learn and you are happy because your friends talk about one topic, and you learn it.
Next year... If I could make a wish, I beg to pass second batxillerat! Jaja!
Be serious, Teachers, I wish another year than this, because I like this type of classes and I need to improve my English!
Thanks for all Lourdes!

opinion essay

WE HAVE ALMOST LEARNT TO RESPECT OUR WORLD?

I disagree with the idea that we have almost learnt to respect our world. In my opinion, humans have broken the harmony and the nature of this world.

It is clear that humans cut the trees in the forests, kill animals because they need the meat to eat. However, yhe nourishing chain is like this, but, sometimes humans don't kill to eat, they kill for caprice, and this is very bad, because they eliminate species of the world. Don't forget all the rubbish that the humans have generated for so many years with their factories.

Sometimes I prefer to think about the education of the world. Humans create a new world, technology and science are the most important, and in this world, humans have to learn to survive all the threats, and this is very important.

In conclusion, I would say that the planet isn't very good, because he have some rubbish, and some species are die, but this one is the world of the humans, it is never going to change, unless we try to improve in the future.

Celebrity:

Today in the world, there are so much celebryties. I choose Britney Spears.
She is a celebrity, but, you see she?
For me she is crazy! she cut his hair, she stay in very big problems and I think, for a Celebrity this can't be possitive!

On the other hand, If you can be a celebrity, be careful please! because your personality can be changed and this dislike on your family!
But be a famous person can be positive because you can be rich too! and this is good in my opinion :)

The life of a famous person is interesting and inportant because is the center of the world!

The newspapers and magazines talk about they and this will be important because they will be a models of the population of the world.
