Brian Griffin's death: Family Guyfans launch petition to bring him back

One of the most special carachters of the US TV is Brian the famous Family Guy dog after a lot of smile, rude comments and a lot of laugh. The best friend of Stewie died in an car accident.Lots and lots of people complain about this and stand up for the Brian's return.

He was or is my favourite carachter in this cartoon TV series he is rude and always say silly things. For me is normal that the people satnd up for this because Brian is so meaningful in Family Guy, I think that without him the TV series can't has sense.

WhatsApp overtakes Facebook as leading mobile messaging service

A study furfilled about social networks, smartphones and chat apps. In this study we can see that whattsapp overtakes Facebook and all the other kind of message apps. Whattsapp users do 20 billion messages per day, the double from Facebook. For example Facebook have more users but Whattsapp are increasing everyday and their users send message every minute. Also Whattsapp is doing important updates and it afect on the users, for example the voice recording.

In my opinion Whattsapp is faster and more confortable to use than Facebook. Whattsapp for the young people is too atractive and we spend a lot of time with it. Nowadays we can't live without mobile and we are being bomb from apps, messages upsates and a lot of other things in the mobile phone that the only thing they do is to spend our time.

Oral presentation

This oral presentation talks about humour and it was special and funny to do it. Also I think that the frindship with my partner Marc was a big help because between he and me are a lot of humour and we laugh a lot together.

Problably our oral presentation was too long because there was a lot of videos and also for the technical problems no video works in our prezi and I don't know why because I revised it at home, but in general it was a good funny and special oral presentation I love to laugh and I laugh a lot doing it.

In the personal things it wasn't a bad oral presentation I think that I was so nervous but I know how to solve it with a good use of grammar and vocabulary.

Fast & Furious star Paul Walker, 40, dies in car crash

The famous actor Paul Walker who participated in some Fast and Furious films died this Saturday in a car crash on South California. He was going to attend to a charity event but he never arrive. In that accident died also another person.


He was a very good action actor he did 6 films about illegal races in Fast and Furious, much people know him only for this kind of films. I love this saga and I loved him I'm so sad because I think that he was a very honest person and he showed it in every work that he did and on his own life he participated in a lot of charities and fought for a better world.

Two die in Brazil World Cup stadium accident

Two workers die in Sao Paulo at the stadium accident. This stadium is where in the summer will be the opening of the Mundial 2014. The crane collapsed causing the destruction of east part of the big building. Then also LED panels and another metal pieces fall down, but fortunately most of the workers were having lunch on their free time. Unfortunately two of them were working and died on this accident.

In my opinion the problem is that Brazil is not ready to do a Football Mundial. The country didn't have the infrastructures and they had to build everything, the stadiums, the shops, the security, all. And they make it fast and in bad condition because with rush it can't be a good stadium. We can't see the first result of that two dead.

Saudi men arrested for offering free hugs in Riyadh

In the last years in some places of the world there was a lot of people doing a campaign about free hugs, but today the Saudi religious police arrested two poor boys. They were only offering free hugs because they thing that this could be happy for the people. The police require them to sign a document to no offer hugs anymore. 


I think that the law, the police and the free expression in that kind of countries are too radical. They don't allow the people and in special they don't allow the women because the religion is the law. For example in these countries the girls can't drive, can't dance, can't do anything and for that reason the laws are being criticize. I don't agree the position of these people the two men are only making hugs for the people. I can't understand it.

Opinion Essay

Some people believe that laughter is very important for our lives for our health. Humour of a person is a really important thing to know the situation of this person and to know how you behave.

Having good humour normally we are better people because the good feelings that we are feeling act on us and make us do good things. Moreover when we are bad-humored we often can't do anything and we feel tired.

In conclusion if you have good humour you can have a better life and have better feelings. The most important thing is to have a good opinion of our lives.

Four people reported dead after New York train derails

Today in New York on the Bronx a big train with 10 carriages derails in a very dangerous area because only 4 months ago there was another derail. 130 firefighters are helping in this area. In this accident died four people and some more are hurt in the hospital.

For me the most important question is why? Because we have the technology to avoid it and now who is the responsible of this massacre who think in the poor families that lost a member. No one, and this is the problem. We need help to lead this kind of things.

derail: descarrilar

San Antonio Spurs New Season

After one of the best seasons of the history of the San Antonio Spurs donig a very very good regular season and arriving at the finals on the playoffs. They lost the finals against the last winners, the Miami Heat where plays the beast Lebron James. After the finals some people think that the team was ruined that it was the last opportunity to win the championship. 

During the preseason a lot of journalist and people criticize them because the team have an old average of age. Then the season began and the team won 11 matches one after the other and shut up all these people that crticized them. With players like Parker, Duncan, Leonard, Ginobili or Belinelli, well the team is old but there is a lot of technical and tactical fundaments. These players, this team lead for the insatiable coach Greg Popovich have a lot chances to win the NBA championship another time, but this time it will be special because all of these players are going to dissapear from the courts in a few years and they want a final championships, to feel a nother time the feeling of be the champion.

GO SPURS GO!!!

Little part from the past

When I was 7 years old I began a new step of my life in Catalonia when I started to live with my mother, because my parents were divorced a few months ago. I had played basketball in my native city, Palencia, since I was 4 years old. When came to Castello d'Empuries I wanted to continue playing it, but it was a horrible team and preferred to start to play football.

At  first  I felt very bad because it wasn't my sport, it was football and didn't like  football. With the pass of time I began to like it and finally I love it because I played with my friends and of course I was happy with them. They were better than me but with  time I improve a lot and the difference of quality was not too excessive between then and me. I remembered that I played in a lot of positions are the beginning I was forward but my coach told me that I was a too defensive player to be a forward and I passed to be a fixed defender. The last year of my football career was difficult because I remember the feeling that it wasn't my sport I wanted to play basketball and this was exactly what I did. Suddenly I began to play basketball in the new team of the village the CB Castello and there is where I played for four years and I  still playing nowadays with my friends.

To sum up I extracted a good opinion and conclusion about these two sports I think that basketball is more modest than football and this is one of the reasons why I love it more.

Special history

This is a story of something that happened to us last summer. One night while we were having a relaxing dinner in our home we were watching a documentary programme, "Callejeros Viajeros". Suddenly there was a familiar face, a man who we recognise he was our school best friend, Jose Maria. What was he doing in Hawaii?

He looked very tanned, relaxed and happy. He didn't look old although he was 41 years old. He had very long dark hair because this is typical in men of Hawaii. Also he looked handsome and strong. At that moment he was wearing Hawaiian skirt and he wasn't wearing a T-shirt. He had changed a lot because when we were children he was a very traditional boy and he was very bad at sports. Who could believe that he was Jose Maria?

We remembered when we spent the holidays together in a small town where his grandparents had a big house. We always played with animals and also every day we went to swim to the river. We were really good friends, best friends.

We were so jealous, he made his dreams reality and we were working in really bad and boring jobs. At the time we were gloomy for us and happy for him. He won a lot of money as a professional surfer, enough to buy a small luxury hotel. I and my flat mate called him and we talked for hours. Finally he invited us to the island to stay one week in his hotel to remember the old times. Jose Maria taught us abit of surfing and we spent the best holidays of our lives.

E-mail

Hello teacher,

I'm Pablo Díez your new student although we met in third of ESO because you were my English classroom teacher. I was born sixteen years ago in a little city, Palencia.  For some familiar problems  when I'm seven years old I came to live in that beautiful place Catalonia. At the first moment I hated it because I thought that  I left my friends, I left my grandparents, my uncles, that I left and that's not the truth because I carry on seeing them. Also now I think that this change in my life was good for me made me stronger and I met a lot of new beautiful people in the school and a lot more in the high school. Now I'm living my life with these people and I'm enjoying my life with them.

Well, nowadays I'm coursing 2º of Batxillerat, I'm doing the technologic subjects in the INS Castelló d'Empúries. All that I want for this studies season is pass all the subjects, do a good and complete research project and of course pass the Selectivitat, I want to try all of these things this year and I now that I can and for that reason my intention to change this year is to forget my horrible lazy personality for all the things in my life. Also I know that without my girlfriend I not be focused in my studies, she help me a lot and centre me in the important things of my life and not in the bad things that hurt me.

All that I do is for my future but, who knows the future? I don't where or what will be my future but I know, if right now I struggle with my studies and I fight for my people my future will be fine. First of all the next I want to study a advanced renewable energies degree in Barcelona because I love this issue I want to work for change the world in a near future. Also in a near future I want to leave this country and go to live outside for example in London I love London and this year I begin to study third of English in the EOI Figueres because in a few years I want to have live in England for some years in my life. I want to have good grades and study for make real my dream.

From the Obama's speech I love one sentence in special. This phrase is "No one's written your destiny for you" because I think the same no one think all the things like you, you have your ideas, your plans for the future and only you feel that inside you. Our destiny is our life and we write it in our soul sometimes we act right and sometimes bad and these are the things that we learn and for them we improve our life.
I want to struggle this year in all the things that I want to do. And I'm going to do it.

See you tomorrow Elisabeth
Have a good day.

Adrian Mole vs Thirteen

 The secret diary of Adrian Mole is a book what talk about an adolescence of Adrian Mole a good boy who helps his father and his mother with the divorced. Also he had a girlfriend with a good and romantic relationship. This history sometimes is funny but the majority of the book it’s so boring because in my opinion is the history of an angel boy that don’t do anything. This is one of the extreme, the angel extreme.

The other extreme, the devil extreme, is thirteen. This film treats about one girl that started the high school and met the popular people then she left her friends for new popular friends. She, Trace knew Evie her new best friend with they did a piercing, had drugs, drunk alcohol, cut her veins, hit their selves, had boyfriends only for sex without love and disobeying their parents. This is a hard film to see but some teenagers chose that type life.

In my opinion the Adrian’s life is too boring and the Trace life is too mad. I don’t like either of these types of adolescence, I think that the best teenager is an average of these two extreme.

Facebook


Facebook is a social network created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg for the use of the University of Harvard, now this man is one of the richest men of the world and Facebook is growing. In 2007-2008 Facebook rose a lot because it could traduce to the France, Spanish, German and more 70 languages. Right now Facebook have more than 1000 millions users, nearly a million apps, approximately 83 millions photos upload a day, more games, the chat room and since 2012 Instagram what Facebook bought for 1000 millions dollars, It’s a photos software.

I think that Facebook is like a drug for the people because I think that a lot of people of the world can’t start the computer and don’t go to Facebook. The first thing that we do when we start our computer is go to see the news in Facebook.
Facebook have a lot of good things for entertainment and to have a good time but we lose too time in Facebook. Also it’s dangerous because Facebook is the owner of the things that you upload that is a characteristic of the licence that you accept when you do user of Facebook, careful with the things that you upload.  




Oral Presentation My Life


My oral presentation is not really good because after I do it I think that my subject didn’t be originally because almost all the people did it about his life.  Were more other subjects for talk like the music I like, my favourite band, the NBA and my favourite basketball team… but I tried to talk about my life.
It was an easy subject for me because I know all the things that I told in my oral presentation in my house I knew all that I said but equal than all my oral presentation in English, in Catalan or in Spanish I went nervous and I needed to improvise because some parts that I studied I forgot during I did my oral presentation.
This it’s not worst oral presentation of my life but neither the best. The oral presentation of the last week was a normal presentation of Pablo Díez with a lot of nervous thing that I go to improve for improve my English and my shy personality. In my next oral presentation I think that I will to do better because this was horrible I don't like anithing I'm not saying that I don't like my life but I don't like my  oral presentations.

I don't put my video because Anton doesn't sent me yet.

Chocolate


The chocolate is one of passions I love chocolate, but what is the best type of chocolate? In my opinion the best chocolate is the dark 70% chocolate because it has that hard touch, the chocolates that are harder than 70% like, the 85% or the 99%, in my opinion are inedible. Once time in my life I tried the 99% chocolate and I said “It’s horrible”. It was the last time of life that I eat chocolate so much harder.
Also I love the milk chocolate I eat all the days of my life I always have one bar keep in my bed room, but I think that this chocolate life should to stop because I’m going fat.
In the weekends I love to have a good breakfast with hot chocolate and toasts, but only in winter because in summer, spring or autumn is too hot for eat hot chocolate.
Also exist the white but I don’t like so much because its flavoured vanilla and I hate the vanilla, but equally sometimes I eat it.


Heavy Metal


The heavy metal is a type of music that supply from a mix from the Rock and Roll and the Blues of the 60s. This music point out harder in the 70s and 80s with groups like Black Sabbath or Rolling Stones, some of the first bands, or like other lately but important bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden or AC/DC. At the 80s the heavy metal had a striking rise, all the people in the world listened it and liked it.

In the 90s and in 2000 decade more people says that the heavy metal was dead, but I don’t think that because I love the heavy metal and in our high school are more that like it, people like Marc Manzanero, Luis Sanchez and more other. Also the people who said that the heavy metal is dead, don’t see the actual lists of music because, the same groups that point out in the 80s continue doing new CDs now and their songs are in first positions of the world rankings. In the 2000 decade formed new bands like Foo Fighters or Airbourne these don’t are so much famous like the 80s bands but they do really good music.

My mother always that I listen music in my computer says "This song I listened it when I have your age".

My favourite band in english is Iron Maden because 
is strong and motivate myself with their faster songs like the trooper. Also I listen heavy metal in spanish but I only listen music from my favourite group, Mago de Oz, I like them because their music have a touch of celtic music and I like so much.

How I met your mother


How I met your mother is a funny TV series produced by the 20th Century FOX. This TV series treat about Ted, the main character, telling to his children how he met their mother, but I follow that TV series and I don’t know who the mother is yet.
The history that Ted, an architect and sometimes a college teacher, tells to his children talk about his young adult life, about a lot of experiences with his friends.
Friends like Marshall the college friend of Ted; also he’s an ecologist lawyer that finishes working for a bank.
 Lilly is the Marshall’s girlfriend since the university and now they are wife and husband, she’s a children’s teacher too.
 Robin met the others lately but she integrated to the gang very well. Also she’s the newsreader of the channel 1, the worst channel of New York.
 Brian is a gold single, he never have girlfriend but he is always surround of pretty women, he’s one of the bosses in the bank where Marshall works.

Ted passed for more relationships someone scatterbrained with a girl that Brian presents but another like Robin that was a good friend passed to be the Ted’s platonic love.
He had more girlfriends but Robin was the most important until he met the mother of his children.





Sports in San Antonio

San Antonio is a city of the United States of America. It does situate on the south of the Texas State, nearly with other big cities like Dallas or Houston.  San Antonio has 1.300.000 habitants approximately. It was a moderate clime because there are soft winters and warm summers.

These are characteristics about the city but I want to talk about the sports in San Antonio. Its some sports in San Antonio like the basketball, the hockey and the baseball.
Now I tell you the most important teams of that city. The San Antonio Spurs for masculine basketball, the San Antonio Silver Stars for the feminine basketball and the San Antonio Rampage for the hockey. Also it’s a baseball team it call San Antonio Missions but it isn’t an important team.

The San Antonio Spurs plays in the at&t centre like the Silver Stars and the Rampage. In the history of this team it won four NBA championships in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007 with important players like David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, my favourite basketball player, and more other players. Now they begin the 2012-13 season and the team is obtaining good results and probably if this continue like right now the San Antonio Spurs can win the 5th NBA championship. It will be satisfactory because The San Antonio Spurs is my favourite basketball team.

The Silver Stars is a young team and doesn’t point out in the WNBA, the feminine league, but I think that in a nearly future this team will be an important team of the league but now is time for work and grow.

The Rampage is the baseball team of the city it’s not a very point out team but as in USA the baseball is the most important sport the people of San Antonio cheer up the team and help it.  Also if you can see the results of the team you can see that team is growing and playing better.

GO SAN ANTONIO SPORTS!!!!
