Lino's restaurant

My favourite restaurant is definitely Lino’s restaurant. It’s an Arabic restaurant, so it’s quite unusual in my city. I think, though, that’s a very special place. It’s a modern building on the outskirts of the city, and there are wonderful landscapes to stare at. From some impressive woods, to the views of the Lino’s river. The sunsets are absolutely beautiful, and the restaurant is a great place for a romantic date, a meal with friends or family, all kind of people will enjoy this place.

The interior of the restaurant is also original. The walls are covered with photographs of Arabic famous people, Buddha’s, and religious symbols of their culture. So you don’t only have lunch or dinner,there if not you can also learn some interesting curiosities. You can also meet, people of anywhere in the world.

The restaurant is famous all over the world for its combination of spiritualist atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food and impressive views. There are forty menus to choose from, but that isn’t all. You can also ask for a personalized menu, because they have all sorts of food. The courses are generous, so make sure you are hungry when you go to Lino’s restaurant!.

For and against ESSAY

“Lowering the age teenagers can get their driving licence’’

People have always wondered the right age at which teenagers should get their driving licence. As we know, the minimum age to get a licence is quite different from other.For example, in the USA, teenagers can drive their first car, at the age of 16, however, in Spain the minimum age is 18. Reading these facts, we could start a debate of for and against main reasons, so this way, we could finally get our own reflection and theory.

On the one hand, many people think that the current age, 18, is the correct one. Their main reasons are that before 18 years old, teenagers aren’t mature enough to take the responsibility of driving a car and being consequent of the problems it can involve.
They also say that, teenagers don’t need the car until 18 because they still go to the high school,and most parents drive them everywhere, or they can also take the public transportation.

On the other hand, other people feel that for some teenagers, (who live outside the cities), the opportunity of getting a driving licence would mean to have a little more of autonomy and comfort in their lives. They could go everywhere at any time they’d like . And last but not least, it would also mean an increase of parents’ free time.

In conclusion, I think teenagers should get their driving licence at the age of 16, because sometimes you are too limited of going wherever you want because of the few public transport that exists here.

Newspaper Article

''The number of people that want to enter University increases an 18%''

The number of people that want to enter University has increased an 18 %. It has been confirmed that the total of people at any age trying to be given a formation, has stepped up amazingly in recent years. For instance, this year, 5000 people aged 45 have done the access test;On the other hand , only 3000 people tried to pass it last year. This data is from the University of St. Louis , in The United States.

They think that maybe the main reason is that nowadays there is a lot of competition to enter the labour world, so people try to improve their curriculum to increase their opportunities of getting a good job.

Writing: The Notebook

This film is about an old man who tells a story to an old woman in a nursing home. The story he reads is about to young lovers called Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who found each other during one summer. But they are separated by Allie’s parents, who disapprove of their relationship because Noah isn’t rich enough for Allie. After waiting for Noah to write her for several years, Allie meets and gets engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon. Then, Allie goes to Noah’s home to see if he is okay. They still have feelings for each other, and Allie has to choose between her fiancé and her first love. She also discovers that her mother hid the letters which Noah had sent to Allie.
Finally we realise, that the characters of this story are the old woman and the old man. He reads this story to her everyday because she has Alzheimer.

To sum up, I liked this film because you don’t understand the story until the end.
I also think this is the best romantic film I have ever seen and I recommend it to everyone, because it makes you laugh, cry, etc. Even if you don’t usually like to watch romantic films, it won’t disappoint you!

Helena’s surprise party!

It was Saturday and my friends and I were preparing a surprise party for Helena. Many people were choosing Helena’s favourite songs.
Everybody was very nervous because we wanted everything to be perfect. I helped to decorate the room and we talked and decided to wear masks at the party to make it more interesting. It all started when we noticed that Mark lying on the floor. Suddenly, his leg moved a movement. We were afraid and we decided to call her mother. She seemed to be very nervous and after a few minutes she arrived. Then, she sat on the floor and looked at Mark carefully. Finally, she told us that it was completely usual because Mark used to lose his consciousness because of a strange illness.
After a while, Helena arrived and we told her everything.
That party wasn’t like what we had expected but although Helena didn’t have a surprise party, we were happy because Mark recovered.

THE BLACK PANTHER

The Black Panther is one of the most endangered animals in the World. Hunters hunt it to sell his furs.
The black panthers live in North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa,( in the jungles and savannah) .
This animal is basically carnivorous, so it can hunt a prey which can be for example a Stag and then eat it.
Another typical characteristic of this animal is that it is very solitary, expect when it is in heat, and that it’s a mammal.
How can people help the Black Panther? Organisations like FPA, are trying to regulate the hunting, and of course is absolutely illegal to hunt animals like the panther, the giant panda, and others.
To sum up, we must hope that organisations achieve their purpose, and that the black panthers will increase in number lefts by, regulating the hunting , trying to fertilize the females or taking care of the blank panther’s cubs. They can also build a centre of protection for this animal.

Conclusions about the year and the Comenius project!

I'm Anna and I'm going to talk about this year and the Comenius Project.
At the beginning of the year we created a blog, and during the year we have explained there different activities, like our Christmas Traditions. The function of the blog is to share Catalan traditions with the swedish traditions, and to be in contact!.
The activity I liked the most was the Christmas song, because it was very funny. The activity I didn't like was the oral presentation. I think it was very important but I had some difficulties speaking in front of the class.
The rest of the activities were interesting.
Talking about the class activities , I remember that we watched a film. It was hilarious because we spent a great time and we learned a lot.
The last week we did the oral presentation. Miriam and me searched information on the internet , and we asked to our families about Bagà.
The explained us some curious things about the village , and we explained them to the rest of the class.
We looked up in the dictionary. We found other words to explain the same things. We also looked the grammar in our students book. I think we could have done the oral presentation better, but it wasn't bad at all!! If I had been the teacher, my mark would have been an eight.
About the blog. I like the way I have designed the blog and I think I have uploaded all the activities. I have also uploaded photos and videos. There were some mistakes in the activities , but I have corrected them. About the grammar and the vocabulary I think it's good.
To sum up, I think I have learned a lot of things this year working with the Comenius, and I have enjoyed it!
In conclusion , my English has improved this year because I have worked very hard.

Do you remember when you were a child?

I don't remember much things of my childhood, but there are several things. which have been on my mind until now. The most important thing was when my parents get divorced .
Those months i was very sad, and my mother and my sister were sad too. But it wasn't bad at all! Because we knew life would be better and we would live in another house very cosy, so I had two houses.
There are also good memories, such as , when I travelled for the first time by plane, or to another country.
I felt ver disappointed when I discovered that the 3 wise men didn't exist. I felt like it was a big fool. But then I understood a lot of things, like, why the poor children didn't receive presents, or why they never gave me domestic animals, like dogs.
Another memory was when I did the communion. I enjoyed that day and the presents too!!
These are some of my chilhood memories , some of them better or worse, but they have been great!

The Song!!

One of my favourite songs ,is ‘’Ain’t no mountain high enough’’. The singers of this song are marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel. Twice died.

They weren’t a group , but they wrote and sang this song together. Marvin Gaye was an important singer of soul. He was from Washington. When her friend Tammi dead , he had a depression. Years later he was murdered by his father.

And Tammi Terrel was an important singer of soul too. They joined and they did duets together. In 1945 she died because of a brain tumor at the age of 24.

I don’t know if this song is the most famous, but it has been very successful.

This song is about a man and a woman who love to each other so much. For them, no matter the distances or the kilometres beside them.

I like this song because I like the lyrics,the ryhtm and the video clip is funny.

The song isn’t very important for me , but I like the melody and all the aspects in general. I don’t usually hear it, maybe, once a month, but I like it very much, because it’s s a classic. I wouldn’t change nothing of the song , because it’s perfect, the way it’s now.

I like the video clip, and it’s connected to the lyrics. I like this song because, it’s very old and different of the video clips we usually watch.

The video clip is very simple, because it was filmed a lot of years ago , but it’s great.

In it appear the 2 singers singing.

To sum up I like very much this song , and it will never be old-fashioned because it’s a classic.

Here there's the videoclip:

FUTURE

In 20 years I'll be taller. I'll have brown hair and maybe it will be shorter. If I do exercise and i eat healthy i'll be thin.
My personality I think that will be like now, but a litte changed, more mature.
Probably , I'll live in a flat of a big city, like Manresa, But not as big as Barcelona. The walls of the flat will be white , like in the american houses. The foor and the furniture will be made of wood. I hope the house will be cosy and beautiful. About the family , I want to have a girl, because they are very nice and sweet. And a brother for her, Because if it is like this, they could play together.
I also want to have a husband, who takes care of the children and does the housework.
If I can , iIll work as a notary.
At weekends I'll go to disconnect of the routine, to the gym or places like that.
My hobbies will be going out with my friends, going to the cinema,..etc.
I think my future will be like this.

Story.

STORY.

It was a dark and a stormy night when, suddenly I heard a noise. I was so scary and I couldn’t move. But, after some minutes , I decided to stand up of my bed , and I went to see what was happening. I opened the door and I went to my parents bedroom. There was nobody! I heard another noise. I didn’t know what to do and I began to cry.
Finally , I walked all around my house to know what was that noise. I saw strange lights in the kitchen, and I entered there without thinking in that to much.
And… surprise!!. My parents had prepared me a birthday party and there were some of my friends!!! It was fantastic.

Composition.

I'm Anna and I am 14 years old. My birthday is on 19th August. I live in Avià, a small village near Berga. I study at IES Guillem Berguedà. We study there from 8:30 to 17:30.
I don't live in Berga , so I've to take the bus to Avià, and I arrive there at 18:00 o'clock.
After school, I usually go home to do my homework or to have rest. But twice a week I go to English classes in an academy. I think it's important because I learn a language, that is so necessary. At weekend I enjoy going jogging, or going for a walk with my friends. I also like going to the swimming pool or going to the gym, to disconnect of the routine. I don't like going to the high school , because I think that then when we arrive home, after school, or after extra-school activities, we haven't got enough time for us. This is my opinion. I don't like practising sports like football or basketball.
