MY ENGLISH PROGRESS FROM 2013-2016- FINAL REFLECTION

Wow... Honestly it is difficult to realize that one more year has passed, faster than I could have imagined... But it's not a normal year as it is the last one. I can't believe such a huge stage of my life is about to end. I still remember my first day of first of ESO like it was yesterday and that's it, in just a few days it will be the last one of these 6 years of hard learning but also fun and knowledge of myself.

I consider that I have learned a lot English and my language is so much better than it used to be 6 years ago. When we started 4th of ESO I started this blog and looking to my older posts is when I realize all the knowling I have acquired. And I personally think it is a lot.

My first post in 4th of ESO was "My dreams", a simple speech in which I wasn't very confident on my language and the simplicity of the vocabulary actually surprises me a lot. I used very simple and short sentences because I was scared of showing my language weakness. Therefore, right now, even if I also make a lot of mistakes I'm more confident and I think I'm more fluid. My last post is about racism and in it I express myself in such a diferent way in comparison of the way that I used to express my thoughts before. I have improved considerably my vocabulary and I think the increasment of maturity is also very clear as my topics are much more complicated.

In my first oral presentation in 1st of Batxillerat I was very insecure and because of that fear of talking english in public my speech was dotted of a lot of erros but now, even if I still have a litte part of this fear I feel that I'm becoming everyday more and more fluid and I'm actually very happy with that, because learning english has always been one of my biggest dreams.

Well, it is clear that I have changed a lot in all these years and my English also has considerably evolutionated. I'm happy to have been able to leave all these toughts in my English blog because thanks to this, when I'll grow up I will be able to look to the past and see how I have changed.

I'm happy to have shared this years with you, teachers, a year with each one of you, with whom I have learned a lot and started becoming an adult.

Human Rights

Human rights are moral principles or norms, which describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. These rights are universal as they are applicable everywhere and at any time. 
Many of the basic ideas that animated the human rights movement were developed in the aftermath of the Second World War and the atrocities of The Holocaust, culminating in the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. There are currently 30 basic human rights. 

Personnaly a Human Right that I'm interested with is the "Freedom from Torture" as I think it is not respected as in a lot of subdeveloped countries torture is banalized and a lot of people is being tortured without any control or prevention from governements as they are sometimes interested in closing their eyes and leaving aside these issues to not get into trouble.

Education is the key, School is the lock by @sulibreaks

While we were listening in class the Sulibreaks video about education, a sentence particularly draw mi attention:

If your answer is something outside the books, the automatic response is a cross, so does school really expands your horizons?

I think this sentence is very clever as it is true that very often in school you have to learn automatics things and you have to have a predeterminated state of mind to answer correctly some questions in some subjects.
In my opinion I think that school doesn't really expand your horizon as a lot of things are not teached and you get typecast in a section of knowledge that maybe do not match what you want to do in your future. I also think that when you are in school or High School there are a lot of judgments and stereotypes with what students want to do in their future, as sometimes teachers expects and want you to develop yourselves into typical works and sometimes you don't feel free to say what you really want to do because some people wouldn't consider it as a normal job.

RESEARCH PAPER ABSTRACT

Everyone knows or has heard at least once in his life about the Inditex group, and I used to be one of these people that always shopped in their stores without asking myself the good questions, so that's the main reason that has motivated me to make a research of the company, to investigate the main aspects of the succes of the groups. Succes of Inditex is lead by a single person, Amancio Ortega, whose strenght at work has allowed him to head one of the most important multinational of the enitre world. Even if the group is nowadays intouchable in "pret-a-porter", they are being scrupulously observed by other groups, as Inditex has definitly become THE exemple to follow as he has considerably modificated a lot of aspects of current society.

ORAL PRESENTATION OF MY RESEARCH PROJECT

GET READY FOR LONDON

Safestay London Holland Park

On Thursday 24th of February we are going to London to spend a few days there and to enjoy discovering new places with friends, and we are all so excited to live this new experience.
We will spent 4 days in London and we are acommodating in the Safestay London Holland Park, a beautiful hotel nestled within one of the capital's most prestigious parks.
The hotel has a lot of facilities like Free Wi-FI, Secure key card acces or also a huge private garden and a very nice lounge.

Notting Hill

The hotel is only 20 minutes walking away from Piccadilly Circus and also 20 minutes away using the underground if we take the Kensington High Street Station, as the Holland Park underground statiom is currently closed.
A place that I would really like to visit is Notting Hill because I have always adored the movie and because I think that it seems to be a nice place. To go there from the hotel it's only 15 minutes but taking the undergound it's longer, 20 minutes, so I think that if I'll go there it will be walking.
I'd also really love to see the London Eye and to go into it mostly because I really love visiting monuments that are high, as I think that seeing the whole city from that perspective is really fun and an unforgettable experience. It is kind of far from the hotel as walkind it would last almost a hour and half, and with subway we would last almost fourty minutes.

A place that is probably also very nice to visit is the Madame Tussauds London, which is located in Merylebone. If we go walking it would last an hour but by taking the undergound only 25 minutes.

If we have to go seeing a musical, I'd like to see the Billy Elliot one mostly because the movie is one of my favourites, but I saw the prices and for the saturday night it is very very expensive and I don't think that we can make it. Otherwise if we go there during the afternoon it would be cheap and we could see it.

Piccadilly Circus

Personally it would also be amazing to see the Charlie and the chocolate factory as I'm sure it would have a nice staging as it is an amazing history.
