AUTOAVALUATION

In my opinion, I think the theme we have chosen is good enough, as many girls suffer, and someone has to stop.

Watching the video I think that apart from talking fast, the presentation is too short. We should have said more, give more information about the chosen topic.

I was nervous and I started to read the paper. I hope that the next presentation be better.

 IF I HAD BEEN RICH

If I had been rich, I would have gone to Africa to help the children, if I had helped the children in Africa now I would have felt much happier, and the children would have lived better.

If I had gone to Africa, I would have built small schools for children, I could have contracted engineers to fine drinking water.  If we had found drinking water people would have felt much better.

If I had had a lot of money, I would have gone to Hawaii. I would have swum with dophins and would have organized a party and I would have invited local rich people so they would have given me a lot of money for my trip to Africa.

Finally if I had been rich I would have traveled around the world.

MY PERFECT HOME

My perfect home would be very big, we a lot of windows, a very big living-room, a very big kitchen where i could eat, and a lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Inside the home would be a cinema, a disco and a sport-room.
The house full of mirror. The house is surrounded the big garden, with a very big swimming-pool, a spa, and one stereo big to do a party.

MYSELF

I was born in a Hospital in "Miraflores" in Peru, and my mother was born in a Hospital in Lima in Peru. 
I started school went I was 3 years old.  I learn to read when I was 4, and I learn to write when I was 4. My first teacher name was Anna. 
Went I was a child i live in a house in Surco in Peru.

Now I live in Empuriabra, in a flat near the sea. My flat is quite big and confortable. There's a sunny living-room a kitchen, two bedroom's and a bathroom. In the living room there are a lot of windows. There's a very big garden. In summer is very hot so I live near the sea. I live with my mother and my dog, because my parents are divorced.

THE LAST WEEKEND

Last weekend I didn't get up as usual, I got up two hours later, at 10:30 (half past ten in the morning). I had a shower and brushed my teeth. At about 11 (eleven) I had breakfast with my mother.

After breakfast I took the dog out for a walk along the beach, until 12:30pm (half past twelve in the afternoon).

I went back home and I had lunch. On Sundays my mother usually cooks Spaguetii, so I ate Spaguetti for lunch.

In the evening I met my friends and went to the cinema.

After the film we went to a Pizzeria. It was about 11 (eleven) when I went back home.

I went to bed at 1 am (one in the morning) but my mother went to bed a bit earlier.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

At present, the public transport in city centres in my country is good but very expensive. 
At the moment there is a lot of traffic, not only a lot of cars but taxis and buses as well.

In my opinion more people would use public transport if it was cheaper, and in that way they could leave their cars at home.

However people wouldn't stop buying cars, because they are necessary when travelling abroad.

Finally, if people used public transport more often and there would be fewer CO2 emissions.

MY FIRST DAY AT SECONDARY SCHOOL

The might before I started, I got things ready so I didn't forget anything.
I was not nervous, but I felt a bit nervous because I knew I was not going to meet my school friends.
When I went into school building, the director explained the rules of the school and which class we would be.
After listening to him for about one hour everybody went to the classrooms and the teachers were all there waiting for us to begin the new school-year.

Now i finished the Secondary School, and I start the "Batxillerat" in Castelló d'Empúries. The institute is differents, is most big, there are more professors and students. I was not nervous on the first day.

LYRICS

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste

Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
And sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, rain coat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone

And they say
She's in the class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately,
her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
And sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly

An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eyed
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come to free us
And we're all under the upper hand
Go mad for a couple grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
And sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Or angels to die

TRANSLATE

Llabis blancs, cara pàlida
respirant entre copo de neu
pulmons cremats, sabor amarg
La llum s'ha anat, el dia ha acabat
Lluitant per poder pagar l'alquiler

Nits llargues, homes extranys.

I ells diuen:

Ella és de la millor qualitat

atrapada en les seves fantasies

ha estat igual desde que tenia 18 anys

però ultimament sembla que la seva cara

s'està enfonsant lentament, gastant-se

fonent com pastissos

I ells cridan

les pitjors coses que ens passen a la vida venen gratis

perquè simplement som esclaus de la nostre adicció

i es torna boja per un par de grams,

i ella no vol sortir aquesta nit

i fumant una pipa ella torna al seu lloc de neixament

o ven el seu amor a un altre home

fa molta fred fora

perquè tornin els angels

Guants trencats, un impermeable

Va intentar nedar i mantenir-se en flotació

una casa seca,roba mullada

monedes soltes, cartes en blanc

ulls cansats, gola seca

prostituta sense telèfon

I ells diuen:

ella és de la millor qualitat

atrapada en les seves fantasies

ha estat igual desde que tenia 18 anys

però ultimament sembla que la seva cara 

s'est+à enfonsant lentament, gastant-se

fonent com pastissos

I ells cridan:

Les pitjors coses que ens passen a la vida venen gratis

perquè simplement som esclaus de la nostre adicció 

i es torna boja per un par de grams,

i ella no vol sortir aquesta nit

i fumant pipa ella torna al seu lloc de neixament

o ven el seu amor a un altre home

fa molta fred fora

perquè tornin els angels

Un angel morirà

recobert de blanc

ulls tancats

i esperant a un vida millor

Aquesta vegada, anem a desaparèixer aquesta nit

desde ara fins el futur

I ells diuen:

ella es de la millor qualitat

atrapada en les seves fantasies

ha estat igual desde que tenia 18 anys

però ultimament sembla que la seva cara 

s'est+à enfonsant lentament, gastant-se

fonent com pastissos

I ells cridan:

Les pitjors coses que ens passen a la vida venen gratis

perquè simplement som esclaus de la nostre adicció 

i es torna boja per un par de grams,

i ella no vol sortir aquesta nit

i fumant pipa ella torna al seu lloc de neixament

o ven el seu amor a un altre home

fa molta fred fora

perquè tornin els angels

Per volar, volar

o els angles moriran.
