Final Reflection

This year has been fun because I have learnt a lot of things about the world and I have learnt lots of new vocabulary. I think that I  have improved my English by doing redaccions in my house each week, for example: self evaluation and the news, these are the best for learning because they are essays in which  you have to read and write and learn a lot of vocabulary.

This year, second Batxillerato has been a challenge for me, for the moment I'm struggling to get through and pass selectivity to able to to study at university. This still very difficult and I honestly do not know if I shall pass course, but anyway this year in English I have learned many words and ways of speaking correctly and have  teacher who will always be by my side supporting me.

And a unique word: awesome

 REFORMS IN MY BARN

The barn is one of the best places of my house, especially for me, because I go there from Monday to Friday, some weekends, and the rest of the family don´t go there.

First, I made some changes to improve its image, for example I hung motocross t-shirts of famous people on the wall, I removed the pictures and I tidied the things which I don’t use every day. Second with my father’s help I made a small gym, there is a weight bench, a punch bag, a running machine and finally another machine. I do exercises every day in the evening or in the afternoon to maintain and to improve my physical strength. This and football which is useful for my motocross training.

Moreover, in the barn there is a bed, two mattresses, a showroom and a kitchen. So, it is a really good place to meet with my friends, furthermore we had some dinners and then we slept there, we watched films, we played play station 3, and so on.

Summary of my book: Prisioners of the Amazon

The book begins with the crash of a plane traveling from Miami to Argentina and crashes into the Amazon jungle and the only survivors are Captain John Gates, Cathy Jones, Jane Dixon, Wilhelm Brunt.

 When getting into the jungle are the Yanomami, an Indian tribe that welcomes them in their village. Later the 4 survivors begin their long journey till the Amazon River, for help. There they meet a scientist named Hans van Lunsen.

 Hans van Lunsen it plans to kill them when they learn his terrible secret that consist about illegal animal trading. Brunt allies with Lunsen, but the other survivors plan to stop and save.

Finally with the help of the Yanomami tribe, survivors get away with pales and ask for help to save.

Japan: Children in Institutions Denied Family Life

First let me start with the definition of Human Rights: " A right which is believed to belong to every person".
Every person means from new born to old.
The  Human Rights investigators have decided that the Institutes for children in Japan don't prepare the children for life when they leave from the various institutes. Thousands of children are taken away from their families when the people of  social security in Japan they think that the parents can't look after the children.


Human Right want that Japan changes the system of the Institutes to prepare these children for life outside of Institutes.  


I don't know if the situation is different here in Spain but I hope that it is different to Japan.
An individual can't changes the situation but a world wide organization has more possibilities to make the changes for example an organization like ONU or OTAN.

Package holiday boom's deadly legacy: Huge rise in skin cancer cases since 1970s blamed on sunshine getaways

This article explains that in the past 40 years cases of skin cancer have rise by 7 times.

It also tells us that 13000 people per year suffer from malignant melanoma. 

Now skin cancer is the fifth highest cancer in the world specially in women of 20 years old. 

Experts think that the fashion of package holiday of the years 60-70 they have the blame.

This cancer can start if one time when you are young and you burn and appeares later in life. If we continue with the obsession that we are brown the numers of people with this cancer will rise.  

It also mentions that sunbeds are very dangerous for this type of cancer because exaggerate the obsession of sunbathing .

Cancer Research UK think that by 2027 the numbers of this cancer increase from 13000 to 20000.

Every year 2000 people die of skin cancer in U.K.  

In my opinion this article is very important  and I believe that this article should be read all over the world. It is true that when summer arrives  everyone wants a suntan and a lot of times people do not think the consequences.  

Is very important to put suncream every time  when you sunbathe.

1st MAY 2014

Yesterday, my parents and my brother and I spent all day in “Cadaqués” because I had a football match at six o’clock in the afternoon, so we made the most the sunny day to go to the beach in “Port Lligat”. There,  Sergi and I did the first practice of spearfishing of the year and it couldn’t have started better. I caught five fishes with my new weapon which was brought by the three magic kings.

Furthermore, we made a small boat with some wood and fishing line that we found on the same beach. I would like to tell you that this invention floated and it went inwards to the sea.

We arrived at the beach at eleven o’clock and we left there at quarter past four, due to the fact that I had to be at the football ground at half past four.

Then my team was coming and when they arrived we started to train and finally we played the match. The final result was “Cadaqués”, zero and “Esplais”, seven.

In conclusion, it was a fantastic day and I would like repeat it again, because on one hand we fished some beautiful fishes and on the other hand we won the match with a big difference.

THREE HOURS OF RESISTENCE IN PERALADA

Some weeks ago, on 14^th April, in the village of Peralada, the first race of resistance of ACCEMA, Championship took place. This race consisted in doing the maximum laps which were possible during three hours. The team that did more laps was the winner. To participate in this race you could ride alone or with a partner, so I rode with a friend called Tete Fort.

Firstly, there were timed workouts which lasted around an hour and I did the second best lap. After that, I and Tete made our strategy; it consisted in riding more or less, 30 minutes each one and to warn to change we had to make a special signal. Secondly, there was the big race. We didn’t have a good start and we had to remount. Every hour our position was improving, but the track was very hard and difficult because there were a lot of stones and dust.

Finally, we finished sixth and although our hands and arms were aching, we had really enjoyed the race.
