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.
