Grace Kelly - Mika

I wanna talk to you{The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears)

I promise you that won't happen again.

Do I attract you?Do I repulse you with my crazy smile?Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?Do I like what you like?Yeah, I could be wholesome,I could be loathsome,I guess I'm a little bit shyWhy don't you like me?Why don't you like me without making me try?I try to be like Grace KellyBut all her looks were too sadSo I tried a little FreddieI've gone identity mad!I could be brown, I could be blueI could be violet skyI could be hurtful, I could be purpleI could be anything you likeGotta be green, gotta be meanGotta be everything moreWhy don't you like me?Why don't you like me?Why don't you walk out the door!

Vull parlar amb tu (l'últim cop que vam parlar senyor Smith em vas fer plorar)
Et prometo que no passarà més.
T'atrec?et repel·lo amb el meu somriure esbojarrat?Sóc massa brut? Sóc massa lligon?M'agrada el que t'agrada?Sí, jo puc ser sa, jo puc ser repugnant,m'imagino que sóc una mica tímit. Perquè no t'agrado?Perquè no t'agrado sense deixar-me intentar-ho?Intento ser com la Grace Kelly però tots els seus posats eren massa tristos. Així vaig intentar un petit Freddie, m'he tornat boig pel que fa a la identitat!Jo puc ser moreno, jo puc ser blau, jo puc ser un cel lila, jo puc ser dolorós, jo puc ser lila, jo puc ser tot el que tu vulguis. Has de ser verd, has de ser dolent, has de ser tot i més! Perquè no t'agrado?Perquè no t'agrado?Perquè no surts fora per la porta!

The future: now what?

Well, after this year with such hard work and such stressful exams I'm finally done. I already have finished batxillerat and nobody will be able to steal it from me. However I still have the leaving cert to come and I don't feel satisfied. I feel this year has been a waste of time. Not a full waste of time, because I have learnt a lot, and I have improved in those subjects I thought impossible. But I mean a waste of my studying so hard. At the begining of the course I wanted to do medicine and I worked so hard, so hard as I could and my marks were ridiculous. At the end my marks have improved but I haven't achieved my goal. Now I know I won't get into medicine even I have lots of 8s and other good marks. I feel like all this hard work has gone no where because I won't be able to do what I really wanted, what I really have fought for. Anyway, I'm sure someday I'll find a career I like or I'll get into medicine working harder in some other ways. Who knows what future is waiting for us. Now I have done what I had to, and that was fighting and working hard. If I didn't get it , maybe I'm not clever enough, or maybe it wasn't my thing to do. At least I have given it a try and I now know I have worked the hardest I could. That's the end of the blog, it's the end of batxillerat, and I should be happy but now I'm not. But I'm not angry with anybody I'm just kind of frustrated as many people from the class were today. Marks go lower or higher and they decide what we are going to become in the future. I just hope for all my classmates that the leaving cert goes well , and they, just as me, were sad of having worked so hard and haven't succeeded, I send them lots of hope and luck.

That's it, let's see what we'll become in 4 years or more!

FINAL REFLECTION

My English Competence in 2010



my best oral presentation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o0ShiN2NzU



Well, I actually don't think it is that good but it might be the best one. In this oral presentation I'm introducing some new information about renewable energies and I help my explanation with images. I think this one is kind of the best because I'm not nervous and I'm fluent. I also think the interview with the British people makes the presentation very rich. According to the time, it's between the correct and I'm using connectors very often.



my best written evidence:

http://martagrauu.blogspot.com/2010/05/hey-there-little-story-of-girl.html



If I had to chose my best written evidence it would be that one. It's not special full of connectors or rather with lots of difficult writing. I chose this one because I think I show a knowledge of English big enough. That writting is a story I invented and I actually like my story, because it's a sort of reflection of peoples attitude. But the reason because I chose that composition is for the puntuation, the adjectives, the conectors and the fluency that the composition shows. Maybe I do have other writtings that are better according to structure but I like that one the most.

FINAL REFLECTION

My english progress from 4th of ESO to now:





First of all, lets take a look to the comment on that link:

http://esk0rnacabras.blogspot.com/

Well, in this blog, as you can see I had just written one post using very simple language. Compared to the posts I have written this year, this one is very short and it has a huge lack of connectors. You can notice that my english isn't fluent as I just write short sentences.

Secondly, look at any post on my blog from this year. Well, now you can see that all the compositions I have done during this course do have connectors and a very good structure. In my compositions from 4th of ESO I didn't had any structure, I didn't use any connectors and I didn't use many adjectives either, so I kept on repeating the same words. This year, besides I have been abroad in Dublin, I have learnt a lot about connectors and structures. From now on if I have to write a text in english I won't forget connectors and structure. Either would I forget to use lots of vocabulary that we have learnt to make the composition nicer and more fluent.

Now, let's take a look to my second oral presentation (with the first one I had problems at uploading the video). It's on this link: http://martagrauu.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-03-15T03%3A34%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=7

Well, as we can see this year I have learnt how to do oral presentations and how to calm down. The first oral presentation of which I don't have a video on line, was about plastic surgery. For that oral exposition I got really nervous and I started talking very fast. I remember Frankie was worried because I was going to finish the exposition in 2 minuts due to the speed at which I was talking. During this course apart of learning connectors and structure, as I said before, I have gained a lot of confidence.

As we can see in the second oral exposition I don't talk so fast as I said I did in the first one.

In the second oral though I was moving all the time because of the nerves.

At last, if we take a look to the third oral presentation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o0ShiN2NzU

We can see that in this one I wasn't nervous. So at least after a few oral presentations I have succceeded at controlling my nerves! which was a huge challenge!

I actually don't see that huge development during this course but because I came from Dublin (where I learnt lots of English). I do see development in writing structures, and in my oral presentations. During the course I have learnt how to do a good oral presentation, with new information, connectors, correct grammar... and different types of writings: narrative, discussion, formal and informal letter, opinion essay ...

To conclude with, I would say that the hugest improvement has been from 4th of ESO until now, when I have reached a good level of English.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow
En algun lloc sobre l’arc de St. Martí

Way up high,
Camí amunt

And the dreams that you've dreamed of

i els somnis que vas somiar
Once in a lullaby.
Una vegada en una cançó de cuna

Somewhere over the rainbow
En algun lloc sobre l’arc de St. Martí

Bluebirds fly,
Ocells blaus volen

And the dreams that you've dreamed of
I els somnis que vas somiar

Dreams really do come true.
Els somnis de veritat es fan realitat

Someday i'll wish upon a star
Algun dia demanaré un desig a una estrella

And wake up where the clouds are far
I em desperataré allà on els núvols siguin lluny

Behind me.
Darrera meu.
Where troubles melts like lemon drops
On els problemes es desfan com gotes de llimona

Away above the chimney tops
Més endalt que les ximeneies

That's where you'll find me.
Allà és on em trobaràs.

Somewhere over the rainbow
En algun lloc sobre l’arc de St.Martí

Bluebirds fly.
Ocells blaus volen

And the dreams that you dare to..
I els somnis que tu t’atreveixes a

Oh why, oh why can't I?

oh perquè, oh perquè jo no puc?
Well, I see

bé, jo veig
Trees of green and red roses too,
Arbres verds i roses vermelles també,

I'll watch them bloom for me and you
Jo les veuré florir per mi i tu

And I think to myself,
I penso per mi,

What a wonderful world.
Quin món més maravellós.

Well I see,
Bé jo veig,

Skies of blues and, clouds of white,

Cels blaus i núvols blancs
And the brightness of day, I like the dark
I la llum del dia, m’agrada la foscor

And I think to myself,
I penso per miWhat a wonderful world.
Quin món més meravellós.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Els colors de l’arc de St.Martí tan bonics en el cel

Are also on the faces of people passing by
També estan en les cares de la gent que passa

I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
Veig amics donant-se les mans i dient ¿com vas?

They're really saying I... I love you.

realment estan dient... t’estimo.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
Sento bebés plorant, i els veig crèixer

They'll learn much more than really know
Ells aprendran molt més del que es sap

And I think to myself
I penso per mi

What a wonderful world.

Quin món més meravellós.
Someday i'll wish upon a star
Algun dia demanaré un desig a una estrella

And wake up where the clouds are far
I em despertaré on els núvols estiguin lluny

Behind me.
Radera meu

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
On els núvols es desfan com gotes de llimona

Away above the chimney tops
Més amunt que les ximeneies

That's where you'll find me.
Allà és on em trobaràs.

Somewhere over the rainbow
En algun lloc sobre l’arc de St. Martí

Way up high,
Camí amunt,

And the dreams that you dare to
I els somnis que tu t’atreveixes a

Oh why, oh why can't I?
Oh perquè, oh perquè jo no puc?

LAURA

On a Saturday Laura was talking with Armanda the wife of his cousin Egbert. Laura was going to die on Tuesday and she hardly believed she was going to be rencarnated as an otter and an unclothed Nubian boy after. Laura made angry Egber at letting the dogs from the farm out and they ran after the chickens. Laura died on a Monday and before her funeral the chickens where killed by an otter. Armanda asked to Sir Lulworth if there was anybody insane in her family. They killed the otter though Armanda defended it. Then some Nubian boy threw all the clean shirts of Egbert into the bath. Armanda then got ill.
