FINAL REFLECTION

This year has been a tough year for each of us. We had a lot of workand many times we could not give everything we wanted.
My second oral presentation I think it was better than the first. I seethat I understand more what I say and I'm less nervous whenexplaining the ideas, although the final oral presentation I am also very nervous too.
Comparing the first with the last post I see that my level has been improved a bit although I haven't made great progress. Even that I also noticed that on first of batxillerat I were over creative and had more interesting ideas whit the posts than this year.
It was hard to get here, but after hard work we've done that.
This is our last year here and I'm truly very sorry to fire me from thisplace that gave me so many years, and yet I also want to enter the university world.

LETTER

This is a letter to UN human’s right committee

Dear President of human's right committee, I have a question for you: Do you think that women rights have changed between 20^th century to now?

Few years ago, women were used for the home’s works. At the beginnings of the 20^th century they didn’t have rights to do another work, It could be possible although it was frowned.

Nowadays, women have more right than before, even that today they still suffer some consequences of that, for example some women charge less than other men that do the same work.

I think that we have to do anything to change that, now the world is sufficiently modern and mature to do a one step more in this theme.

It’s true that the women’s rights have changed between before to now, although I write this letter because I want that you think about that and it is possible, change this little facts.

HUMAN RIGHTS

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are generally defined as those liberties, faculties, institutions and basic claims relating to any person simply because of their human condition, in order to guarantee a decent life.

2. Why were they created?

Human rights were created to establish equality among all men.

3. How many human rights are there?

there are 30 human rights

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

The article 4, here it is rescpected, even that in underdeveloped countries this article isn't respected.

SElF EVALUTATION

In my oral presentation I was very nervous and I couldn't said that I wanted. It's true that the other partners are my friends even that I don't like talking in front of the class, I'm so embarassed, because of this I never talk a lot in the English class. It is a problem for me, because some teachers think that I don't know anything about the theme that we talk and it influency to my mark.

So I hope to improve my english level and I will try to talk more in english class next term.

My dreams!

My dreams can be classified into three areas: the typical or fantasy dreams, profession dreams and finally leisure dreams.

The typical dreams are that everybody would like live, because I’m sure that everybody would likes can fly, would want to live in a world without worries, war, poverty… but all typical dreams now it are impossible.

My profession dreams now turn around university because I don’t know that I will study, but I would like to can study medicine. I think it is exciting and interesting career. I have ever interested in human body and his operation, but I don’t know if I will get the grade required for career entrance. Therefore this year I’ll fight for get the best grade.

Finally my leisure dreams, the majority revolve around rowing because it is my favourite sport. A month ago I had said that my dream was win the rowing league but this dream has been fulfilled. Now my objective is to win the Spain’s rowing competition in next May, for that we will train a lot next winter. My other dream of row is I should can access to the Olympic rowing team of Banyoles. But this dream will be fulfilled next year because the trainer of this team want that Maria and me created a double team but before we want to finish batxillerat.

My dreams and objectives are difficult but no impossible and I will fight for get them.

Joke!
