A Great Expeience

The Experience of my Life

I'm going to write about a experience that is since I was 7 years old and also today and this year I'm happy with this.

I have started to play football when I was 7 years, I was very bad but I had a great time when I did this. At 9 years I left this but at 10 I returned, this was the best thing that I have done in my life.

I have practised a lot, all the days I played football and I have seen football on the TV. All these years I was playing in CD Blanes but this year I'm playing in C.F.Lloret because in Blanes there weren't team for girls, it was hard leaving my team but I wanted to play football and this is the prize. At the day of today I'm very happy with the football that I do, because in a team of girls with 17, 18, 19, 20... years old, I play all the match and people say that I'm good

Yesterday, I had a letter and the “Selecció de Girona” wants that I'm going to play with them, I went once but they called me a second time.

I have been very bad when we lost or when I did a bad game, but also I have been very happy when I've played well or when my team has won.

Football has given me a smile and I love it.

I will play football in a future when I will be old, but in an immediate future I will study because female football is not important for people.

Experience with animals

I have had many experiences with animals, I love animals!

Once I travelled to Caribbean Sea, there were many exotic animals. I visited a crocodile park, there was very big and had many crocodiles, I fed and took care a baby crocodile. Also, in the Caribbean Sea, in the beaches of Cuba, there were some sharks, and i swam with then, but they weren't dangerous because they were little sharks. Also I dived in these beaches and trekked.

I love animals, so I have had many types of animals: snakes, lizards, tortoises, chickens, rabbits...

When I was bigger, I want to be volunteer in an animal shelter.

My great experience

 

I went to visit my aunt in Finland because she invited all the family to her wedding. It was in June and we had a fantastic time.

 

It was very cold there even though it was summer. All the family stayed in a house made of wood and it was very warm and comfortable.

 

While we were there, there wasn't any night, only day. It was very strange to see the sun at 11 o'clock at night, but it was beautiful.

 

We had a sauna in the garden of the house and we used it. After you go in the sauna it is normal to jump into a cold pool, or a lake if there is one there.

 

I t was a great experience.

THE CIRCUS English Optative with Jorge Riquelme

Here you got a beautiful story about a circus journey that went quite different than planned!

The Circus

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.

This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean.

The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by- two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.

The father and mother were at the head of the pack standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You’re my knight in shining armor.” He was smiling and basking in pride, looking at her as if to reply, “You got that right.”

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”

The ticket lady quoted the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, the man’s lips began to quiver. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?”

The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didn’t have enough money.

How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?

Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”

The man knew what was going on. He wasn’t begging for a handout but certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking, embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t go without






The Circus   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfvBnMDPJ6o

Wow! A big tent was in the middle of the town's parking lot! We were going to a three-ring

circus. I couldn't wait for it to begin. Inside and outside of the tent, toys, balloons and

food were being sold. All of the children were so very excited.

Inside the tent, we found good seats so we could see everything. The band started to

play loud music, and the ringmaster came out with a big tall hat on his head.

In one ring, there were small animals, dogs, monkeys and parrots doing tricks. The dogs

were dressed in funny clothes, and so were the monkeys. They rode on bicycles, danced

and climbed ladders.

There were wild tigers and lions in a big round wire cage. A man with a whip was inside

the cage with them. He had them trained to jump through a hoop of fire and to roll over.

He even kissed them! He was very brave!

During the break in the middle of the circus, funny clowns came out and did silly things.

They had happy faces and sad faces. Some had big red noses that honked if you

squeezed them. There were rides on big elephants too. I didn't go on one because it cost

too much money.

The last act took up the whole tent. It was acrobats. They hung from their teeth, their feet

and their necks high up in the air! They also swung high up in the air and "flew" to each

other. It's kind of scary to watch because I was afraid they might fall.

I had a very good time at the circus. However, my tummy felt kind of sick from all the

 

cotton candy and junk food I ate!

Zero

I like Zero because their baby was lucky because got an infinite 00 and also because her number was unusual because anybody saw that number before.

 

Nawab Khan, 2nd B

I like this video because, I think about people of USEE. They are diferent than us, and many people laugh of them.

Brian Veiga, 2nd B

I liked because it is a very beautiful and exciting story.  

Mireia Herrero, 2nd B

I like this video, it's exciting and very beautiful. This video does me think of the bullying. I don't like this but in the real world exists. This video presents that NOTHING CAN BE SOMETHING.

Laia Arias, 2nd B 

I loved this video because it's beautiful how these poor dolls with number zero can get to be happy with love. I loved the end because the other dolls accepted the zeros when they saw the babies with their zeros together and it was an infinity.

Jade Ly Lam, 2nd D

I loved this video when I saw it because not to have a different appearance or skin's colour you are not a human of this world.

Celia Rabasco, 2nd D 

 

I like the story because it has a beautiful ending, and I love that Zero efforts of being a good person even when the other numbers underestimate him, and he finally finds another zero and they fall in love. I love that in the end all the numbers respect them for their son, an infinity, the most important number in this symbolic world. 

Rocío Bueno, 2nd D 

I like this video because is a good story to explain the birth of the infinity. 

Alfonsina Alves, 2nd D

I like the video because is cute but I don't like the part of the bullying.

Camila González, 2nd D

I like this video because is a real and interesting story and very important for the people. You mustn't look down the different people.

Leandro Morales, 2nd D 

I like it because they are dolls with feelings. In addition it shows you that each one has got something good. I think so. 

Juan Antonio Jara, 2nd D 

I liked the video because is very impressive and it explains a lot of feelings. My favourite sentence is "So how can nothing be something". The nothing represents the zero and something represents his children. To make more interesting the video they are represented with dolls. I liked them because they were very funny.

Berta Arcos, 2nd D 

I like this video because is very important for the world and for me, too. The video demonstrates the discrimination for the zeros. The video also shows that there are many people who discriminate other people and I do not like me because we are all equal. The video shows us a lot and I like that.  

Ricardo Paredes, 2nd D

The video zero is very interesting but I don't´t understand very much because that's difficult fir me. The video is wonderful because number zero meets an equal number.

Marc Frigola, 2nd C 

I like it because an impressive story.The zero finds the happiness into the love.

Carlos Martínez, 2nd C

I liked this video because the story of zero is very important. Many people live like zero. My favourite piece of this video is when the baby infinite was born. 

Laura García, 2nd C

I like this video because a doll has got the number zero but he is different than other dolls. One day he falls in love of another zero. After they have got two children with infinite. I like it because they are different and they love, too.

Camila Rodríguez, 2nd C 

Zero is a negative number, he has zero opportunities for anything. Nobody likes him, but there is a zero girl who likes him, and she loves him, next they have twins with the number of the infinite. I think Zero is a great number, and people mustn't laugh of him. To be a zero didn't mean he felt unhappy because everybody can find the happiness.

Jenni Díaz, 2nd C 

I like the film but I don't like number zero.

Mohamed Benchrif, 2nd D

I like this video because it explains the life of one person that some people do bullying and in the world there are many people with this problem.  

Mariona Coll, 2nd B

 I like this video because in this story the number zero is different and other numbers are normal, but finally he has twins and do the infinite symbol of number.

Pau Guirao 2nd C 

I think this video is realistic and amazing because "white" people hit "black" people or only people that are different than them. It is distressing because all the people are similar, only change the colour of their skin.

I don't like the racism starts in the school and children do bullying to different people. I feel badly when I see they are sleeping and searching food in the rubbish or when the police hit them when they are together.

I like the end because they respect the unusual son that they have and the father can go out of the prison.

Reflections on my 2nd Term

In the 2nd term I improved a little but I got bad marks.
 
In the 3rd term I will study more and I will do homework and I will have  better behaviour.

Juan Antonio Jara, 2nd D

In the 2nd term I learnt the vocabulary of transport and many new words of competitions. I learnt to make predictions.

In the 3rd term I will improve the grammar and will have good mark than the last term.

Alfonsina Alves, 2nd D  

In the second term I improved the language tests. I studied more the irregular verbs and that was very important. My reading was the worst area and the listening the best. I will read the questions carefully, I'll read the text 2 or 3 times if it is necessary, but I need to improve.
 

I think in the 3rd term I will improve my reading and my speaking. I will try to read more in English and speak only English in speaking activities in class. 

Berta Arcos, 2nd D

In the second term I did it worse because I was relax and I can do it better.

In the third term I will try to do the best that I can do, and I will give the best version of myself.

Rocío Bueno, 2nd D 

In 2n term I improved very much, I had good results because I studied more than 1st term.

In 3rd term I am going to improve more to an excellent score.

Marc Frigola, 2nd C 

In the 2nd term I failed because I did not study for exams and I didn't do the homework.

In the 3rd term I will study more for exams and I will approve the 3rd term with good mark.

Adri Braun, 2nd C 

 

In 2nd term  I improved very much I studied more and prepared the exams better.But I must improve the Reading because I failed Skill Test.

 Laura Espinal, 2nd C

I didn't like this term because I think I could have a better mark and I improved the language test.

In the 3rd term I will improve the language test and the writing. I will study because I want a better mark.

Ivan Motolko, 2nd C

In second term I tried to approve. In the third I'm going to work harder. 

Kevin Aparicio, 2nd C
