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.
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.
Now, on Fridays I'm going to start play one role game called "Vampiro". It's about the today's world where exists a secret vampire society near the humans, but they don't know it. Like all role games you have to complete one or more missions in this imaginary world. I like this game in particular because you can play in Figueres and imagine all figueres sites! (You can walk near the Jardi theatre or go shopping. Well... you are a vampire and can't buy because you live at night).
I made my character and in the game I'm called Abygail. I'm blonde, very pale (you have to think that I'm dead!), thin and with a very big grey eyes. I have a rebel nature that probably made that sometimes don't follow the group laws but my character in front of people is conformist and I think that we probably don't have big problems with it. My race is "Gangrel" that made in you animal features, be very shy and have a special conection with the animals. If I have problems I can call animals from the zone who can help me. I can see perfectly in the dark too.
I'll play with three more members and the Master (who control the game).
Role games are often looked down upon but I think that are a good way to power the team work and the relationship with the members of the group... playing and having fun! And of course... rise a lot your creativity...
The film and the book explain the life of one adolescent but there are a lot of differences between one and another. In the film the change of the girl is enormous and very impactant, there are a lot of things of her life that turn 180 degrees. She was a good girl and a good student and only for popularity starts a big changes in her form of life, wear, way of think, friends... At the end of the film if you compare the girl with the one of the start you couldn't think that's the same person. Another difference with the book is that in thirteen the secundary characters are more integred in the history and you see their evolution behind the girl too. The character of Adrian is more repetitive and uninteresting because he explains every time the same and if its true that in his life are some changes and happen a lot of things the way of explain it is very different of the film.
For me the film was more interesting for the impact that if produce to you.
Once upon a time there was a princess who wanted to be the most beautiful girl in the kingdom. She wanted everyone to turn when she walked in the streets and get married with a very rich and beauty prince. All her life she wanted beauty, she wore the best dresses, the best haircut, had extravagant complements, make-up... but there was one thing that she couldn't change: her body and her face. One day listened that one witch had arrived in the nearest town. She rode her fastest horse and knocked on the door od the witch. the princess kneeled down in front of the witch asking for a magic drink of beuty, but the witch saied that she didn't have any one of beauty and went inside the house. The princess, angry, went to her father, the king, and told him that there was a witch in the town and they had to kill her. When soldiers entered to house of the witch, she run away, and the princess caught and drunk one potion with the inscription. "beauty". Two months later the witch was walking near the castle of the princess and one rat bit her foot. She caught it and, looking into the eyes of the rat and smiling, said: - Hello princess, I think that now you know that I think that the rats are very beautiful...
In summer I only practise one sport, sailing. I started to practise it when I had seven years in Sant Pere Pescador. First we use a little boats call Optimist. I sailed with an optimist until the twelve years, and at the end I really hate them! Is very boring to be three hours alone with a small boat. At therteen years old I start the 420 lessons. The 420 is a more big boat and needs two persons to sail, the boss, who drive the helm and the big sail, and the crewman, who control the little sail and the balance of the boat. In the 420 I'm the crewman. I love it. Maybe some people thinks that be the crewman is easy, in apparence they only move the little sail when the boat turns and hung and relax when the wind is very high. That's wrong, you have to be very concentrated when are hung, it's very difficult to be with the legs joined, on tiptoe and with the body stretched in the edge of the boat. At the end I put a photo of these position. The crewman works to support the boat the most plane with the water possible. You have to have a good comunication with your boss and try to do it sailing at the more possible speed.
Hello, i'm Elvira and in this oral presentation i'm going to speak about Expoterraria.
In the powerpoint you can see photos that i took of the animals of this year edition.
Expoterraria is a like a market of buy-sell reptiles, amphibians and arthropods.
It's celebrated every year in Barcelona.
I knowed about this three years ago, when i started to be interested in reptiles, in a forum.
I saw it and I commented about it to my parents and asked if I could go and they thought that it could be interesting and we went to my first Expoterraria.
Now I'm still going but for my parents it now isn't still interesting... and, for example, this year I went with a friend.
I like very much the hobby of reptiles and for me Expoterraria is a good oportunity to see good animals or strange ones and meet some people that i'm friends with and who are in the hobby too.
I have some friends that I know, in a forum that I'm member, of which i meet every edition.
I like it because I don't have many people with i can speak about it.
Expoterraria is celebrated in a big space and inside are a lot of tables.
These are rented by breeders or somebody who sells products for these animals. They put on them the animals or the products and you can go and buy all do you want.
There are breeders from a lot of countries, the furthest from Hungry.
There you can find reptiles (lizards, geckos, turtles, chamaleons and snakes), arthropods, amphibians and fishes.
The most common are snakes, lizards, geckos and frogs and for me the most interesting are snakes, my favourite reptiles.
You can find different kind of snakes and for all species different genethic mutations of colour and pattern, and sometimes more strange ones, like scale-less snakes.
This hobby isn't very extended in Spain, and this market isn't very big (like 200 tables) but in Germany there are one, the most important in Europe, that's ten times bigger, or more. To this one go breeders of EEUU, the best ones of the world.
This one, called Hamm, is one of my dreams and I think that in a few years I can visit it because every edition are people from here who go with car or bus.
Thank you for your attention i hope that you like it. If anyone have any question I try to answer it.
Minina and Minino are the cats of one friend. Minina is black and white and Minino is all black with the fur a little big long. Minino is very loving and always is wanting you to stroke him. First it can be funny but with the passing of time it's very stressing because you can't be on the sofa without the cat sleeping on you... and if you don't stroke it, he starts to walk around and on you to catch your attention. Minina is another world. she is very maniatic. She doesn't like a lot that you stroke her, she doesn't like that you carry her, she doesn't like to eat the cream for the fur balls... and if you ever forget to change the sand of her cage she can't use it... and you have to prepare the bleach to clean the house! The two cats always want to go out and in the winter they can't, for the cold, and you always are paying attention when you have to go out of the house, so they do not escape!
Hello teacher, my name is Elvira Fina.
I don't know what i have to say in this e-mail but if it is a presentation, i try to explain to you some things about me.
I'm 16 years old and i'm doing the scientific batxillerat. In the future i will go to the university to study something like physics, criminology, genethics... Lately i'm thinking a lot about criminology, but i have to think about it, i like it a lot but the idea of be teacher in a highschool likes me too.
I have a few "hobbies" that i love.
The first one is the snakes. I love the world of this strange animals and i think that they are very interesting, so much that the same people thinks. The 25th of this month i'm going to a exposition of buy-sell (i don't know if it has a special name) about reptiles. It's one of my obligatory appointments of the year.
Another one, very important for me, is the photography. I always go with a little digital camera in my bag and i have got a reflex cam. That's my way of relaxing.
Equally i practice sailing, snowboard and like dogs too.
(one another thing is that i love eat.... yes, i'm all the time eating... ask anybody who knows me!)
I don't like english so much because i don't like any language class of school. One of the problems that i have with english is that a lot of times i have to speak in class or read... and i don't like it. I hate it. The oral presentations are, for me, the worst thing in the english class, sometimes i don't do them.
Well, i go to sleep now because my clock sounds with a horrible sound at 6.40... well, i like to get up early, when the sky is still dark, i think that's because i remember the days when i go to snow.
I want to speak about the book "El hipnotista" of Lars Kepler. I read it a few months ago and I like it a lot. The book is about one psycologyst that in the past hypnotizes mental ill people and for one thing that first they don't tell us he stopped it. But the problems started when he had to hypnotize a man who had kill a family with a lot of violence. At this point all start to go bad and the main character has to have a lot of things to save him, his family and remember a dark past. The book is writing with a good style and when you start it you have to finish it because all time the things deveolpe very fast and you discover new things about the characters and specially of the past of the main one. In conclusion, it's a good novel and I recommend it to all people that are interested in mystery and crime books.
