The World In 50 Years

Probably in 50 years when I will be an ancian, and whole the world will be contaminated and if we don't do anything for to solve the problem, all the animals will die and the people will have more diseases than now. More than one animals species will desapeared and the reproduccion of the animals will decrease due to animal mortality and climate change. North and south pols will have thawed and the tide will have risen. And if we don't do anything else, we will die because we will have ran out of water due to the contamination of the water. But I am sure that I will solve all the problems and I will save our planet, the Earth.

In my point of view this TV serie is too mysterious and so interesting because it talks about the univers and some day I would like to be an astronaut and it talks about anormal thinks that in the real life it doesn't happen. And this is why I like it.

Foix

Hey!!!

Do you remember me? Well, I don't write anything since May more or less but I come back stronger than before.

Today I am going to describe one of my favourite places of France. Foix is located off the south of France, in the Pyrenees and it's near of Andorra too. It's not one of the most popular holiday destination. Arround Foix all is mountainous and there is too much nature. So you can find a lot of animals there.

Foix is best known for its legendary castle. With some amazing views. From there, you can see all the town and the beautiful mountains so you don't have to forget to visit the castle.

Tourists also enjoy the vintge shops, the big market that you can find it in the center of the town. And most of all, its friendly people.

Foix is visited by for a lot of tourists (students too) every year. It has got spectacular scenery and planty to do for people of all ages.

I hope you enjoy this post.

One morning, Parker leaves for work and Hachi follows him to the train station. Later in the afternoon, Hachi walks to the station, to wait patiently for Parker to come home. They continue to do this every day.

He then imagines Parker coming out of the station and the two greeting each other. Hachi is last seen lying on the snow, alone and still.

Speaking Test

Hello! My name is Judith and now I am going to describe this two photos.

Both images show beaches which people use, but for different functions.

The beach on the left is tidy, clean and there is no body there, but, in the beach on the right, everything is all over the place, and the floor can hardly be seen because as you can see there are too much people.

The beach on the left could possibly belong to an unhabitated beach because it is obviuos that people who want to go there have to pay some money because it is a private beach, where on the right, more than likely, you can look a lot of people because it is a famous beach, as you know its name is Salou.

The image on the left looks like a clean and beach because in the foreground there are two palms and in the background we can see more palms and a blue sea, but in contrast, the image on the right is a polute beach. In the foreground there are a lot of people and in the background there are more people, a lot of palms, some buildings and a dirty water.

If I had the choice , I would prefer to go to the nice and unhabitated beach because there is no body that can storve you.

The Temptation of St. Anthony (Dalí)

This masterpiece was painted by a Spanish surrealist artist, Salvador Dalí.

    It was painted in the year 1946, it is a precursor to the body of Dalí's work commonly known as the "classical period" or the "Dalí Renaissance".(va ser pintada a l´any…)

    Its style is surrealistic because it contains typical elements of his work. Significantly, it was the first of his pieces to exhibit his interest in the intermediates between Heaven and Earth. The painting is now at the Musée Royaux des Beaux-Arts, in Brussels, Belgium.(El seu estil és…)     

Dalí painted "The Temptation of St. Anthony" in 1946, in response to a contest held by the David L. Loew-Albert Lewin film production company for a painting of The Temptation of Saint Anthony, to be used in the film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami. This was the only art contest in which Dalí participated, and ultimately his painting was not chosen for the film.

 

EXPRESSIONS TO BE USED DURING THE PRESENTATION

   This painting appeals to me because in the painting there are animals and I love all of them.(Aquesta pintura m´atrau perquè…)

 It conveys a feeling of stress because it is too subrrealistic (Em transmet un sentiment de…)

   It portrays St. Antonio Abad in a desert kneeling and holding a cross made of two sticks to ward off the temptations that attack him with the ancient gesture of exorcism. These are represented by a horse and a row of elephants, all these with their long and thin legs and each carrring a temptations  (El quadre retrata…)

   In the foreground we can see St. Antonio Abad he is naked and disheveled and rests on a stone. In front of him is a skull.
/in the background we can see a horse and a row of elephants. (En primer pla podem veure/ En segon pla podem veure…)

   At the top there are some black and white clouds. ( A dalt hi ha…)

   At the bottom there is the floor ( A baix hi ha…)

   On the right, you can see St. Antonio Abad again.( A la dreta es pot veure…)

  On the left, you can see the last elefant of the row with a column, and you can see a cliff( A l´esquerra es pot veure…)

The worst day of my life

A year ago, exactly, the 6th of March 2014, it was the worst day of my life.

I had to woke up at 6 o'clock (earlier than the other days), so I was in a bad mood. While I was going to the school, I felt over and I cut myself. When I arrived at school, all my friends laughed of me. I was so sad! Then, in the art class, while I was painting a nice picture, I dropped the watercolors unwittingly. The watercolors produced in my t-shirt a stain. When I went to home, I take my phone and it doesn't work properly. Then I arrived at home and my mum was angry with me because my room was untidy. If I didn't arrenge my room I wouldn't go out with my friends. When I finished, I was ill, so I couldn't go out with them. I went to sleep earlier than the other days because I was tired.

Well, it was the worst day of my life for me.
