Hi Guys!

According to me everyone has a passion, something in which they are really good. Some of us havn't found out his hobby yet. I have been looking for it for a very long time. Now I'm sure that the greatest hobby of mine is windsurfing. When I was young and beautiful my hobby was sailing. I really enjoyed this sport but the responsibility for other people was too big for me. I decided to find something else. Then I hit on an Idea! Windsurfing was a fantastic solution! On a board you are independent, you can rely only on your own. I'm aware of that, that I'll never be a professional windsurfer (I started too late) but it gives me a lot of fun and makes me full of energy! I recomend this sport a lot. If you like water and you aren't scared of challenges you must try it! In the photo: Me in Chalupy - a town of polish windsurfing.

Our impressions on London by Laura and Sonia

The first day in London

During this course we have been practising English while working on this research project.

Each year we travel abroad and this year we went to London and we've been lucky enough to do it.

On Tuesday May 11 at 8 am, in the morning we were all gathered at the airport anxious to get to this beautiful country.

Because of the volcanic ash cloud we were delayed and the aircraft which had to leave at 10 ended up leaving in the afternoon, at 13h.

For some of us flying was a new experience, others had travelled once, but we were all very excited for this trip.

When we arrived the teachers tested as making us ask the best rate of the underground.

After that, we settled in the hotel which was the largest in all of London, where we were stayed during those days.

Child's Day

June 1st is the international Child's Day. On this day every child gets a small gift and feels very, very good. It is a special time for parents too. They enjoy giving their kids what they want and spending time with whole family, when everybody is laughing and having a good time. Off course kids want to get presents everyday but it is impossible. During whole year children get many presents but this day is really special. It's like second Christmas for us. For parents the most important thing is to see smile on their children's faces and this day enables that. Do you have something like this in Spain? Please write, I'm curious.

My pet :)

Hello everyone, as you see in the picture i have a yorshire female dog called yasmin and it has 5 years old it's very loving and very pretty! a year ago it got very sick and they had to take care of it in a dog hospital, because it had the kidney swollen all my family were really afected, because of the vet told us that there were very little chanses that it survive. now it is recuperated and very happy.

The fair of April

In Barcelona, in April the Fair of April is celebrated. Last Saturday, it was celebrated in our neighbourhood “Prosperitat”. We met our friends and we spent the afternoon and evening in the square "Angel Pestaña” where we had the celebration. In the afternoon women and men danced “sevillanas” and there were many tents around the place. In the evening there was dancing and drinking for the elderly, a lot of music, groups acting... Next week it will be celebrated at the Forum district where we will go and there will be attractions, dances, shops, restaurants ... and I will tell you more!

It is more than racism

I’m going to write about one of the most important, negative things in a society: racism. Many people think that moving to another country is very easy, but they don’t know how difficult it can be. They don’t know that it means leaving your country of origin, your family, your friends, your boyfriend/ girlfriend, your city or your costumes. They don’t know the pain of the nostalgia. But I have to say that not everybody thinks the same way, some people are very empathic and understanding. They don’t make differences among people: It doesn’t matter whether I’m from Africa or I’m from a South- American country.

Unfortunately, many people have other wrong or stereotyped ideas or thoughts such as the majority of South-American people are part of gangs, the foreigners can’t have the same rights as the Spanish citizens, the immigrants can’t have an education or health security, foreigners have to earn lower salaries in compararison to a Spanish person, etc. I think that these thoughts are the result of pure ignorance, because immigrants don’t want to leave their coutries, their celebrations, their language, their essence…; they have to do it out of necessity. I know that these people want to find a better future, better oportunities, a better education or professional training, they hope to archieve it. But I don’t understand why some people have to reject them.

Each person in the world is different and this is fantastic, because we can learn from eachother. We must have unique and indvidual ideas, because we aren’t living in a dictatorship. We are free!

I just have one wish, one dream: I hope that, some day, all the people in the world can look at each others faces and smile… smile with sincerity, respect and affection. I know that it is difficult, because we’re completely different, but we must listen to the person that we have inside, because everybody is important and valuable in their own way and you have to know that

We’re part of this society.

Help!

Hi! I’m doing my Treball de Recerca ( Treball de Recerca is a project work that we have to do when we are in first and second of Batxillerat), and I need help! I’m doing my project work about the culture and leisure of young people in Great Britain. If you are from London, or you know somebody who have lived there, please, tell me! Thank you so much!

Poetry in our school

In our school we celebrate Saint George’s day, which has been explained in a post down here.

The students prepare differents projects for this day, such as a Literary poetry contest in Catalan, English, Spanish or French, a phylosophy essay competition, a photography competition etc.

The teachers in our school act as judges and see the images and read the texts and then choose the best to be the winners.

These are the three English poems that won.

TIME

You cannot stop it

Or make it back

As time goes by,

It will not last

If you have work

Then make it fast

‘Coz it won’t wait

For someone late

Time is pure gold

But making you old

Don’t waste your time

To enjoy your life.

Razel Beloso (15 years old)

MY SUNLIGHT

I just can’t live without you

Because you are my sunlight

And I know I never told you,

But, thanks to you, I’m not afraid of the light.

Before, everything was dark

But, one day you came with the light

Before, I was like a lone shark

Until you brought the life light.

I never confess these feelings

But I won`t be weak this time

Within me, keep my true feelings

And try one more time.

I just can’t live without you

because you are my sunlight

And I’ll never be tired to say to you,

I love you my dear light.

OUR RELATION

I love my boyfriend

We meet every weekend

I like the afternoons with him

But prefer him going to the gym

I only think about his eyes

He has a great sight

I like his mouth too

Above all when it's got plenty of food

His kisses are the best

Yesterday I did a test

that told that our relation is incest

He is my brother,

The police can arrest!

Hi Bloggers We Are Back Again!

Our school trip to İstanbul was really wonderful. Our friends and teachers were all together. We had a great time. We visited Dolmabahçe Palace. The Palace at Dolmabahçe was completed in 1856 It is the third largest Ottoman Palace in İstanbul. Dolmabahçe is located near Bosphorus. Here is the room where ATATÜRK died. In the palace there was a chandelier weighting 6 tons. That was magnificent and remarkable.

After we visited Dolmabahçe Palace, we went to Turkuazo. Turkuazoo is in the Forum İstanbul Shopping Center. Turkuazoo is built an area of 8000 square meters. It opened 22nd of October. 80 meters underwater acrylic tunnel was interesting. It's called "Dream Tunnel". There are 2000 species and 10 000 kinds of fish.

The exhibition,bar,glasses,table are all made of crystal clear ice. There are 34 ice skulps which are produced for 70 ton ice.
