Something to improve

1. Can you see an improvement on your level of English in these last two years? 
Where, for example?
Of course I can see it. Two years ago it was difficult for me to speak, and now, I think I do it fluently and with an acceptable pronunciation. Of course I understand better the listenings but because I use to watch films in English.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English? 
The speacking of course, and the listening. 

3. Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why? 
The grammar activities for the exam, and the speacking, even though people don't use to take part in the class.

4. Which activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not? 
I think the activities were good, but it's difficult to improve English only watching videos twice a week. If we had more classes it would be perfect.

5. Which activities would like to do again next year to keep on improving your English? 
This stressing days we have a lots of exams, it's grateful to relax our mind, with some nice videos and songs. I think we'll have to do more grammar or vocabulary activities.

We have almost respect the World. Do you agree?

We are destroying our future every day, and now, it’s too late to come back to the bast when the environment was more or less fine. In my view, I think that the sentence “we have almost learnt to respect the world” is totally false. You can check it watching the news or listening them.

Firstly, it’s not a thing of the present, it’s also an effect from the past, and we can see that for what scientifics say, the ozone layer is breaking up and degrading because of all the toxic products we emit.

Secondly, it’s not just what I’ve said before. When you go walking anywhere you see the street full of rubbish and then, if it’s not enough, behind you, there’s someone throwing things on the floor.

In conclusion, there are a lot of things to say that are destroying the Earth and we are just beginning to understand all the consequences about it.

The only thing I can say about all this is that if we don’t look after our environment, we’ll destroy our planet a bit more than now, every time. 

Man spent 15 years with pencil in head after childhood accident

A 24-years-old man from Afghanistan sought help in 2011 after suffering headaches, worsening vision in one eye,... The doctors made a scan and showed that a 10-centimeter pencil was in his head, from his sinus to pharynx and it injured his right eye. The man said that he didn't know how the pencil got there but he said that when he was a child. once he fell badly. 

Strange? Really strange! How can a person have a pencil in his head? Strange things happen, but this is really hard. Can you imagine you with it in your head? Impossible. And without knowing it... I don't know how he could survive. I don't have anything to say about this because it's shocking.

Study finds Facebook helps users ‘Like’ themselves better

Facebook makes elevate a person's seelf-esteem because you always try to post the best you have. But there's not only this, something wrong is on it and that's that this person have the best image of himself, and then, when they see them in an other way, they don't like it.

In my opinion I think it's something everybody do, posting every beautiful picture they have and the best photo they have. And an other consequence of this, when an other person post some photo about you and you don't see yourself fine, you can get angry even for a photo. It's incredible what this famous Facebook can do.

Mom of baby found in Chinese sewer won't be charged

 A stunning chinese baby was rescued from a sewer pipe after his birth, two hours later. His mother isn't criminal and won't have any criminal charges because authorities concluded that the baby fell into the toilet accidentally. That's what local officials and media reports said. 

Do you really think he fell accidentally? Incredible. That's all I can say about this news. I think that it's impossible a baby survives in the situation he was, and the mother, I think he can't have this child anymore, she's not a good mother, unless something really strange happened to this little child and for this reason he fell accidentally, but I thing the probabilities that this happened are really low. If I were the judge, this 22-girl, wouldn't have his son anymore. It's impossible. It's something irreal.

It's over!

This week is the last one. Well, it's not the final one officially, but for me it is. Everyday I have an exam, and I think three of them are the most difficult ones. Tomorrow I've Philosophy, and I don't want to do it. I'm scared because I don't know what can happen with this test because I have an eight from the first term, an other eight from the second and in this third term and the last one, I don't know how the exam is going to be because we're studying a really difficult topic and, moreover, I don't like this subject. But if I get a seven, the only thing that count for the final mark is the exam, nothing else. So I have to study extremely hard.
The only thing I have to say is that there's only one more week studying, and then, if I pass all the exams, I'll say: HELLO SUMMER! I really want it.
