Final Reflection

Looking Back is the Key to Moving Forward

This post is going to be a flashback on my firsts blogs to know if i have improved my English. In my first post, I spoke about my summer experience in 2013.

 Now, in June of 2015, two years later, I think my post is easier to read thanks of images and videos, and the vocabulary and grammar is not as simple as two years ago. 

My best level of English is on listening and reading, I have a good reading comprehension in all languages that I have studied, probably cause I use to read so much and listening in English cause I use to listen to English music and sometimes watch an English film or series.

The most useful activity in these two years to improve English was to read books. If you read something you like, you are not studying, you're just having fun. But you learn at all. This is an activity which makes you improve vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension.

On the other side, some grammar classes were useless to learn English cause you can't just memorize a language, you should know where to use things you know. If you learn "first conditional, second,..." you don't even know which one is every one. It's better to know all conditionals and what they mean.

I would like to read another English book, continue with blog (I don't like it, but should accept that It is useful), and some listenings because the people which don't do it at home needs to do it in class.

Could a real dragon ever carry a human?

If dragons were real could you actually ride one?

In this video, Alan Boyle explain us about the largest flying animals that humans know and say that dragons couldn't carry a human because if they were big enough to carry a human, their own weight should be imposible to carry.

He talk about the biggest animal that humans have ever discovered, Quetzalcoatlus, which was a Pterosaur. The largest one we have found had a wingspan of 52 feet.

As you can see, the problem of dragons to carry a human is not to be so little but to be much large

Murderers in New York

Two Escaped Murderers in New York

Five days ago, two murders scaped the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York. Ther're over 250 officers going door to door, looking into the cars, vans and other vehicles and searching in the forest.

Governamental institutions ofered a reward of 100,000 $ for information about the two murderers. The New York State Police have received over 500 tips about the imvestigation.

I think it's so strange that in this days someone could scape from a prision in USA, they have  a really hight amount of officers and soldiers, Think that the prisioners have run away with someone helping them into the police because if They could do it alone, USA have a really big fail in security and they should improve it.

Opinion essay

Have we made the world a better place?

In the last century, human population has doubled, there were two world wars and we have destroyed near all natural resources in the earth. In Europe and North America, people have cars, computers, food and water. They are the lucky people.

First, there are lots of people, milions in Africa, Asia and south America who can't drink clean water and eat enough food.

Second, in the rich countries, we have everything we need, and what we don't need. But the people happiness hasn't incresed in the last years, We lost a lot of real friendships and most people is selfish.

In conclusion, the world has become a better place for the richest people but not for the poor and medium class people. Every year there is more rich people and more poor people. The medium class, which have cost lots of work in the last generations to be created is disappearing.

China jails two 'Fast & Furious' supercar drivers

Real life "Fast & Furious" drivers

In Xina, the Chaoyang District Court in Beijing on thursday found guilty of dangerous driving two young men. Tang Wentian, 21, and Yu Muchun, 20. They were sentenced to up to five month in jail and fined 10 thousand and 8 thousand Yuan each.

The two men had crashed a Lamborghini and a Ferrari in a late-night race through Beigin. The notice become more interesting when the police announced the men were unemployed.

The court said green Lamborghini reached speeds of over 179km/h and red Ferrari went over 165km/h when they were running their race on the 11th of April.

I found this news interesting cause didn't expect to see anyone mad enough to drive so fast through a city. It's just incredible that two men didn't die when they crashed and another extrange thing is about they were unemployed.

An Interesting Person to descrive

Hi, now i'm going to descrive a student from IES Castelló d'Empúries. Claudia is one of my partners in this center and she live in Alt Empordà. Her hobbies are going into the disco wearing a short floral dress. Also, she's fond of hiding pencilcases and keen on animals, especially insects. We are going to the some class together and laugh a lot with her jokes.

She's blond long haired and tall. She's light-skinned and green-eyed. Usually she use to wear leggings and a white sinthetic jacket.

Clàudia is a crazy person who doesn't worry about any consequence. She likes joking everybody all time. She's narrow minded, extroverted and she has a good sense of humor.

In my opinion, she is completelly mad. She likes torturing insects. She's definetly a funny and cheerful person.

Teenager in handcuffs saves police officer having a heart attack

Footage shows the moment an arrested teenager saves the life of officer Franklin Foulks after he has a heart attack in Fort Lauderdale Police Department booking facility

The Police Officer Franklin Foulks was processing Jamal Rutledge when he had a heart attack. Jamal, began to try to alert officers in the area. When the Sergeant Todd Bunin heard the noise and noticed Officer Foulks was lying on the ground, he went fast to call for help.

One officer made direct radio contact with rescue units. Rescue personal arrived on scene and transported Officer Foulks to Broward Health Medical Center.

Medical staff noted that Rutledge's actions and the quick response of these officers were largely responsible for Officer Foulks surviving this medical episode.

I selected this notice cause we see every day bad news and this is a good once, not really often we see an arrested guy saving the life of a Police Officer. I'm really keen to see this news.

What's Your Animal Personality Type?

Octopus

INTJs are independent types, wildly intelligent and creative — but rather un-interested in what anyone else is doing. They are often considered the most independent of all the personality types, and they work best when given freedom. They are acutely aware of their own intelligence, as well as what they don’t know, and their passion often lies in conceptualizing ideas and processing complex theories.

I aggre with the quiz results. I'm really fond at this quiz. I think it say more than what i'm keen on it. I like to be independent ever and I prefere to be alone than with a large amount of people.
