That new was only in this zone, but for me is a very important notice because all of work of a 10 people group is now realized. We were one year in the AEiG Xiprers al Vent forming us in the scout role, we were months and months administrating the opening and make us know.
It's a different way to educate boys and girls in the leisure with a particulat method, the scout method based in the pedagogy of the project. The boys and girls have to choose a project an do it throught the year. The project can be a diary, extra jobs for a travel, earn money for an ONG... At the same time we intend to instill some values like imagination, fellowship, responsibility...
We are very excited because the people answered very well and we are working now with the children. We know that it's difficult in the start but we are going to work hard to bring it out and improve the society, because the children are the future.
We are very greatful to the wonderful parents we have and all the media that has given us to know more far of the mouth and mouth.
Now the public spanish tv hasn't ads. I think that the time of publicity has to be regulated but not eliminated. It's true that the last years the minutes (maybe hours!) of publicity was excessive but it doesn't means that needs to be suppressed.
The publicity is a good way to earn money for the programs and for the companies is the most important source of consumers.
And think about it... imagine that you haven't seen a film like The lord of the rings, more than two and a half hour of a very interesting film... so interesting that you can't stop to see it to don't miss anything... and suddenly you have to call any person, are hungry or thirsty... or you have to go to the WC! You can't!!
I think that a little bit of publicity isn't bad because all of us have to have a moment to get out the coach.
And.. what the hell.. there are some publicity that's great, I like some ads and they are make because the people have to see it.
Sure you have heard about the bloody end of Gaddafi. Thats for the supressed stress of the rebels who when saw him hided in a tube the only they wanted to do was kill him.
The two bands commited war crimes but maybe for the people who was in Lybia the situation required it. They wanted to get out of the Gaddafis autocracy because the population couldn't resist it.
Maybe it wasn't the best end for the dictator but... if he still alive... what is going to happen? A judgment? Maybe the rebels, who suffered all the Gaddafi's strong, thinks that wasn't enought.
My dreams? Well, now a short-term dream for me is pass the batxillerat with a good mark and can enter in genethic studies in the university. I want to study it because I think that's the science of the future. I want to modify children when they are cells to borrow important mistakes on their ADN (that can cause important illness for example) and improve their live quality in the future. Another way is solve genethic illness in adult people or do specific pills for every different person with the same illness.
A long-term dream I want to live in a farmhouse on the mountains with dogs and horses and where I can walk near nature and recolect mushrooms in autum and... of course where every winter fall a lot of snow. I love cold weather!!
I think that I fit in my dream and the studies that I want to do and I want to be useful for the society.
Yesterday I went to see Raul Black, an ilusionist and magician. He was acting in Navata and with a group of friends we went to see his show because some of them knows him. He isn't a stereotyped magician with beauty assistants and with a suit... no... his assistants are "vampires" and he wears leather and all black... that's because his artistic name is Raul Black. In more or less 2 hours we could see a lot of amazing tricks. In one he was tied into a curtain with a man who wears a blue jacket. In 10 seconds, hided into the curtain with this man with the eyes closed he appeared, still tied like after, with the jacket of this man... INSIDE THE TIES! It was amazing! In other ones we could see how he removed the head of one of the girls and a lot more.
If you can he still in Navata some days, go to see him. I recommend it to you.
This year I changed the subject of physics for the psychology. I wondered if stay with this subject at the start of the year. I like psychology and the teacher, but I like physics too. Finally I told myself that next year my dream is to study genethics and I have to get a very high note and with physics I can't get more than 7 and it will cost me a lot of time studying, that I can use to study another subjects and improve my notes. Of course in genethics you don't need physics.
Like I have said I'm interested in psychology and now, studying it, I know that I have made the best decision. I love the themes of the mind because I think that's very complex and mysterious. Now we are doing the psychoanalysis and it seems very interesting.
The second day in one scout group is the celebration called "festa del pas". In this celebration the members of the group welcome the new boys and girls, and the old group members say goodbye to their old branch (group).
The oldest (right now 12 years) built a "totem" with branchs and we put a lot of green ribbons on it. The boys and girls change the ribbon for a written desire for this year.
The oldest (Rangers) were still there at night, when they "suffered" our special welcome, a night scaring game. At 19.00h when everybody left the site, we started to pretend to be angry and concerned, and every hour more. In one moment all of the leaders went into a room and started to shout ones saying that we had to gone out and others and anothers saying no. The boys started to be scared. In one moment we says, shouting, that we haven't mobile phone right now, for questions of battery and 10 seconds after one of them enter running and swetting with a mobile phone and saying: "We have a mobile phone, we have a mobile phone!!!!!!!". Now I still wondering how we can't help laughing. When we finished the boys asked us, very serious, what was happening. We invented an story that the directors of the park had phoned us to get out of the site for no reason. No one seemed to know what was happening. Finally we manipulated the boys to stayed there. At the dinner they imagined hear some things, seeing another ones... they have a good imagination! At the end of the night we tied up one leader and did some other things more until one of the boys started to cry. At this moment we finished all the story and explained to them all the joke.
Some weeks ago, Clara, Maria, Sandra, Guillem, Manel and I went to Barcelona to a demonstration of the student's sindicate. We wanted to protest against the economic cuts of the government in education. Those cuts made that the number of students in one class rise to 40 boys and girls, some of our teachers couldn't stay in this highschool because the center had to say goodbye at 10 places. Centers installed a lot of computers, but the wi-fi conection can't work correctly.
Education is the future of our country. Maybe politicians have to think about having less wages and cut from other sides too, like roads or militar. It's time to think about everybody and not in our own individual life.
In the actual worldif you don't like any part of your body you can change it. With the publicity the girls, since they are young, learn that one of the most important things in the life (to be famous, rich...) is the beauty. Since girls are young (every year earlier) they wants to be perfect and in the most popular friends group. They don't mind about their future, only in the present. Society doesn't leave space to you to accept yourself, to have enought autoconfidence, to don't think about if your nose is big or not or if we have enought breast. The plastic society doesn't let us take our own personality. Maybe one day ew can be all like Barbies and Kens.
TRANSCRIPTION CHARACTERISTICS The base of the british humour is the irony Irony is a situation in where is an incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words or actions.
Usually of the british humour is refined and smooth, with a good use of the language. It isn't easy humour based on bad words, bad situations of others... British humour wants you to think about some questions.
A great insult can be hide behind a good ironic words.
THEMES In themes i'm going to explain the most representative themes of british humour.
Satire Satire is to not have respect to the authority, an organization... something represent over us.
Absurd A little bit difficult to explain. That uses the surrealism, something that doesn't seems real for the strange situation, dialogues...
Surreal and chaotic Similar with the absurd but the situation can be real, you can imagine it. That picture is a scene of “The young ones” a popular TV serie that has been emited in catalan with the name of “Els joves”. Smut and innuendo Make fun of the sexual acts, situations... all of us have a dirty mind and it's more easy.
Humour inherent in everyday life The name says all. Mr. Bean is a very good example. Is the life of a little bit strange. The humour hasn't to provide of the main character, can be inherent in the environment or other people.
Parodies Parodies make fun of british stereotypes. That picture is a moment of “Little britain” one of the most actual representative ones that uses a lot this theme.
Black humour The topics of the black humour are the ones that in the real life are very serious. Murders, funerals, horror... but all with a comedy back. I can't remember if it was in foth of ESO or the last year but we saw a film called “Death at a Funeral”... a funeral where nothing can succeed right... that's black humour.
Practical jokes The most representative programe here is Just for laughs. It pretends to film some actors making a joke to one innocent man or woman.
SELF EVALUATION I think that I'm very nervous in all of my oral presentations and it's a think that I have improved with the time. It's more evident when i have them in english because I knows less this and I haven't all the resources that I have in catalan or spanish. In english if my mind decides to forget something is more stressing for me find another word to say it. It's true that at the final I'm less nervous but I still shaking.
But, in the other hand, because I know it I prepare it better and all of memory. For me is better not read the guide because I put more nervous wanting the sentence and cutting the presentation, I don't like it.
Maybe my way to relax is having something in the hand and moving it all time. Maybe it seems ugly but one day one teacher says me that's a good way to concentrate and I can say that's true.
I'm satisfied with my oral presentation because I know that could be worse. I worked on it in home more that in other presentations.
Ever is something to improve, maybe watch more the peolpe or better corporal actitude, I wants to seem more secure but maybe I can work it with the other presentations we are going to do.
Humour is everyday in our lives: TV, radio, friends... but can we defend that is necessary for our lives? Maybe the world without humour will be more boring but we still be living.
Humour help us not care about the problems around us. If we aren't happy our life quality isn't in the floor, is in the underground! There are a lot of psicologists who are saying that them patients now wants to be happy with themselves. Now, people who are not ill or have big problems with their lives go to the psicologist because for the present society the felicity is very important: people who can made laught anothers have more possibilities to have an important site in one job because people like them.
But... I'm doing this writing and I don't like it, it isn't humour in this situation, and I'm still living! I can breath and speak with somebody. In conclusion, I think that humour is important because we have put importance on it.
