Expo Oral

I was very nervious doing our expo oral. I don't know why but when I have to do expo oral always I became nervious. I think our expo was with good structure and good powerpoint. I knew what I had to say but for the nervious I had to read a lot. For this I think my mark is a 7.

You can see my expo oral in Clara's space.

Can we live without humor?

Try to imagine life without humer? Is it so difficult? I'm sure that the answer is yes. Our world is full of humor: we use it with friends, on TV shows, on advertisments etc. Probably, humans can live without humor but that's impssoble in this society. If we lived in a diferent way, may we could be without humor but now, we can't.
Humans, to live together, (families or with friends) needs to use humor. It's impossible to be with other people 24h/day and don't laugh any time. You talk with others and sometimes the conversations are lazy. As a result we use humor to do mor fun the conversations.
Besides, humor gives to live a little bit of color. Without that resuruce, live wold be similar to black and white photos: can be a great photo but it default something. I think humor and laugh are the best parameters to know if one is happy or not.
In conclution, humor is necessary for us because give us a color to this life.

Breaking news: NBA lockout

Since last September, NBA (National Basketball Assotiation) is in lockout. This word in catalan means "tancament patronal". The owners are disagree with the collective agreement. They think that players win too much money and, logically, players say that the actual situation is good.
Both parts have negocied a few times with reunions of 12 hours but today we can say that is so far the NBA start. For this a lot of NBA players are coming to Europe. Rudy Fernandez (Dallas Mavericks) and Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City Thunders) have gone to Real Madrid, Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs) has arrived to ASVEL Lyon, Thiago Splitter (San Antonio Spurs) have signed for Valencia and Andrei Kirilenko (Utah Jazz) has gone to CSKA Moscow. There are other players that left from NBA but         these are the most importants.
In my opinion, players and owners have to arrive to an agreement. Only for the public who wants to see the best baskeball of all the world. European basketball isn't the same that NBA because here there are a lot of leagues (country leagues) and a big competition (Euroleague). In USA this is different: there are only one championship with the bests teams of all times and this is what basketball fans is the best way to see basketball.

Breaking news: Bye Bye Berlusconi

This video explains the dimission of Silvio Berlusconi. It shows how italian people went to street to demand the dimission. When they know it, they celebrate the decision. A man say in the video that Berlusconi was the last dictator in Mediterrian sea.
I'm agree with Italian people who want that Berlusconi left. Althrough, they voted he a few years ago, so they must know who are voting for.
Now, the first minister Italian is Mario Monti, an important economist. He is the chosen because the economic situaction of the country is very bad. I'm disagree with this, because people must have the possibility to choose who governs us. Yes, maybe now for Italy (and Greece) it's good have economist on the goverment but they aren't chose for the people.
That's a good example to see that we are living an important historic period: democraticy's crisis. In this moment, I don't think people have the power of decide, the markets control us. We are living in a dictatorship of market!

Breaking news: Spain's Ghost Airport

This video explains the Ciudad Real airport case. Before 2007, when all the occidental world (include Spain) had money, was possible spend in big infrastructures (trains, airports, buldings...). Obiously, that's a good way to use money. Althrough, the airports and train stations were bulid in places that there aren't a lot of people. In my opinion this is for the famous "Cafe para todos" (Coffe for all).
The Ciudad Real's airoport is desertic. Any flying company wants use that place to put airplanes. The same happen with AVE stations: they are bulit in cities with a little number of people. I think that these money could be used to improve infrastuctures in places where there are more people. Durning spansih goverment had spent money in cases like Ciudad Real, now in 2011, AVE doesn't arrived to France (and now, with economical crisis will arrive more later).
When we got money we use it to do a lot of things that it seems that they are good, but when the bad times arrives, we see that these things aren't so good.

Worst joke ever!

Here's the joke that I told on class. It's a very stupid joke!

Dialogue

An old person and a young person talking about time and getting older
Hello dear!

What’s up, granddad?

Well, today I feel bad, my legs are failing. I hate getting older, it’s a shit.

Really? I though being old would be fun...

Really it’s fun but I don’t know why all the old people say that it’s a shit, I said this because it’s a custom... I don’t think this, being older is the most fun experience in my life!

Are you kidding me? If I could I would be young forever. I’m afraid getting old.

When you get old you have another point of view to the world. For example, today you have to think about exams, homework, your future, maybe you have to study, to go to an after school...

Ah... and you only have to think if there will be a place on the bench for you...

Ha, ha, ha, I have to think how I will be happy this day and I always achieve this. So for me life is like the words of one of your songs: “Don’t worry, be happy”!

Last school year

Now I will talk about last school year. Today, after summer, I can say that last year was the best school year for me. I get good marks and I enjoy during the year. I learned a lot of things too.
At the begining I was a little scared because I started Batxillerat. But quickly, I adapt to new timetable and more work. In the clasroom I enjoy during the year for Simon, Guillem C., Sebas, Paul, Pep, Quim, Omar and the rest of our classrom. With that people, was like return to childrish: we laugh, we turn the our bags, draw cricatures of ourselves... Here are a cricature drawed for Paul
I will explain this picture: Guillaemon is Guillem C. That's because he's head is so big and because is a little deaf (and Doraemon don't have ears), Adolf Zbinden is for Simon. That's because he's from Swiss and we say to him that he's nazi (but obiously is a lie). Sebas got that look for his long hair. Omar is draw it only like a black man. Tucaquim is for Quim, and that's for his long nose. "Unpeploompa! is for Pep because we said to him that looks like oompaloompa. And the last one I'm a monkey because Paul didn't find any strange feature. Maybe it's for my segond name: Mancilla is easy became to "Moncilla" from "mono". A few months later that Paul drew it that, they found me a feature: my big ears!
I hope this year I can repeat the last year experience but I know that 2nd Batxillerat is harder than 1st. But, for now I'm enjoing it too ;-)

inFamous

inFamous is a Playstation videogame. The plot explains the story of Cole MacGrath, a bike mensenger. Cole was working when a strange bomb exploted near him. The explotion caused the destruction of all buldings of the city but Cole didn't die. He get electric powers and he became a super hero with electric powers. At the begining he don't know how to use these powers but during the game he learn it. Also, during first game he must destroy some bands that want get the power of city.
The visual graphics of this game are awesome, it seems that the player is in the city too. inFamous is an original game because for first time you can choose if you want to be "a good person" or a "bad person". Depending of your actions your karma can be positive or negative: for example, if you kill innocent people your negative karma will grow up. The player controls Cole with absolut freedom for all the city. We can use Cole's powers when we want do it. The main powers of Cole are: the thunder (to kill enemies) , the voltaic wave (to move things as cars), the thunder fell, the tension granade, the stactic thursters and the electric storm.
I discovered inFamous last summer. PlayStation Network (PSN) failed last spring and to reward the problems, give to users a free videogame to dowload. So in summer, I downloaded for free inFamous. After I discovered that on june inFamous 2 were in the stores. At begining of Novemeber, my cousin give me for my birthday a mini game of inFamous called inFamous: Festival of Blood where Cole is a vamp.

20N

Tomorrow (20N), Spain celebrates general elections. Zapatero, the actual president, anunciated in summer that in 20 November. Until now, PSOE governed Spain with minority.
The majority of suveys for the 20N elections are saying that PP will win with absolut majority. I think this will happen because a lot of people is agry with PSOE. The majority of people think that Zapatero did bad a lot of things to finish the economical crisis and they look for a solution in PP. I don't think that to vote PP is the solution because will do the same as PSOE: do the things that EU say.
In my opinon, spanish people must to vote other politcal parties than PSOE or PP because in the background they are the same. Both parties are interesed in keep this system and our system is dying gradually. We can change this voting politcal parties who really want change (not PP who say: "Vote for the change") as for example Escons en Blanc, Partit Pirata and others.
Sumarizing, PP will win for majority the elections of tomorrow because the majority of people in Spain thinks that they can change this but, in my opinion, PP won't change nothing. To resume my ideas I will took a sentence that I discover on Facebook: "Entre rosas y gaviotas nos han tomado por idiotas" (Between roses and gulls, they have taken us as iditots)

PD: This is the result of reflection day, haha.

Club Joventut Roses 18 - 14 Club Joventut Mataró

This year, I play for Club Joventut Roses because Club Handbol Esplais (my ex team) and Club Joventut Roses merged in 2009. Thit led that some categories play in Roses and other in Castelló.
Last weekend, handball regular season started. We played against Club Joventut Mataró who last year we (Club Handbol Esplais) won  for one goal. Altrhough, my new team mates never have won any handball match and they wanted win the first.
Normally the final score is about 25 goals but these match finished 18-14. Thit shows that it was a defensive match. Both teams defened very good and our gooalkeeper, Nico, stop a lot of balls. In the second half, we get a distance of five goals and we won the first match on the history of Club Joventut Roses! I only scored two goals but I think I did a good defense. The maximum scorer was Sergio Gómez (our pivot) who scored 10 goals.
I felt very good to be a part of this awesome team, maybe they aren't the best handball players but they are the best team mates!

Here are the photo's team!

L to R, up: Isidro (coach), Nico, Bada, Sergio G., Mariano, Guillem, Marcel and Gil

6-O Student's strike

Last 6 October, the INS Castelló d'Empúries Batxillerat students did strike. We protested against the goverment cuts in education. We think that politicans should to reduce their salaries. Also, they use too many money for militar things, as wars or increase policemen number. In fact, for 10€ we give to the State, 1€ is for military purposes.
On Wednesday 5, in highschool, some people of 1st and 2nd Batxillerat made three banners with differents missatges as "No a les retallades" (No to cuts) or "Som 40 a classe" (We are 40 in classroom). Also we protested against the TSJC's court ruling and we did a banner who said: "L'escola en català" (The school in catalan).
On Thursday 6, six students of 2nd Batxillerat went to Barcelona's demonstration. That's six students were Elvira, Maria, Núria, Clara, Manel and I. Also Sandra, IES Deulofeu's student, came with us. The demonestration started at 12:00 in Plaça Universitat and finished at 13.30 in Plaça Sant Jaume. The event was very peaceful and without important accidents.
I'm very pround of went to that demonstration, althrough it's probably we don't get nothing. I think that was a good expererience for me, not only by protests but also for share a wonderful day with friends.

Here are some photos:

Llança's camping

Last June, I and my friends (incluing people of English class) went to Llança for a few days. We stayed in a camping and pass togheter 3 days. These days were awesome days: all day with friends in the beach, without homework or job; at nights, party...
The first day was estrange for me: we met in Llançà on Monday 20 but some people couldn’t go that day. So the majority of us went to Llançà the next day. I arrived by car with my parents on Tuesday 21. When we arrrive to the camping we didn’t see nobody. My parents left and I phoned my friends. Maria told me that they was in Llança’s beach. Llançà’s beach is big, so I lost looking for the others. Finally after more than 1h lost, I found they at 3.00 p.m. I didn’t have lunch and they did. So I had to eat rests of their lunch. Aforunatly, the rest of the day was normal.
When I remeber these days, I feel very good and relaxed so it’s useful think in Llançà camping times in difficult moments. Sometimes, we talk about repeat that experience but with 2nd Batxillerat, TdR and Selectivitat is impossible do it again (for the moment).

Here are a video did by Clara and some photos took by Sandra. 
Sònia, I know you are the Simon's TdR tutor. I hope you don't change your opinion about him seeing this video. He was young and crazy, now he is mature :-)

New school year!

Hi! I'm here again, now for the 2011-12 school year... I hope you enjoy reading my reflections, tasks, piece of news etc!
I post here my email writed on monday 19 September 2011 to Sònia, my English teacher. It talks about my dreams.


ORIGINAL EMAIL

Hi Sonia, how are going this beginning of school year? I hope you're having a good start.

As you know, I’m sending you this email for explain my dreams. Honestly, I’ve never thought in become a famous sport star (and I don’t know why, all kids wanted be like Ronaldinho or Zidane!)

A real dream I have, since I was 13 aprox., is travel to Brazil. I think that country is amazing: you can go to awesome beaches, go to the most important carnival on the world, visit the Christ the Redeemer... Also you can visit favelas in Sao Paulo, the other Brazil’s face. The lenguage is other thing because I love that country. I don’t know why but I love the portuguese and brazilian accent.

Other dream I have (well, it’s a goal) is finish 2nd Batxillerat, pass Selectivitat and study an history career. Always I love socials sciences (geography and history) because help us to learn why leave in this world. It’s possible that history career don’t give me a job but for the moment, I don’t think in workplace, only in study my favourite “subject”.

My third dream, and the most utopican, is work for a better world. In the last months, I realized that poltial class is very corrupt. I supose that 15M moviment helped to me for open my eyes and say stop. I know that is very difficult but if the majority people are united, why not?

I hope you enjoyed reading my dreams!
See you tomorrow,

Guillem Mancilla
  
P.D.: It’s 10.40 pm, I know, it’s too late. Sorry

Aznar and ecologism

Today I read a surpise new for me: The Ex President of Spain, Jose María Aznar, says now that all spainsh would be a good ecologist. When he was in Moncloa (1996 - 2004) he didn't do any ecoligist politcal. When he was in Moncloa he said that the climatic change is an utopia. Now he's a memeber (honorific president) of an ecologist plataform and he would say that all people would be ecologist. In my opinion, this shows that Mr. Aznar is a false person because depending of the charge that he occupies he is for the ecoligism or no. Also, now he says that everytime he knowed that Iraq didn't have destruction massive guns. But when he was in Moncloa, he attack this country only because Bush said: 'They got a destruciton massive guns!" and Aznar like a dog did the same as Bush.

Thirteen vs Adrian Mole

Between thirteen and Adrian Mole have got a lot of diferences and similties here are the most importants:

The similiarites are that both principal characters are teens (13 years old). Both have got school problems and families problems (the fathers are divorciaded). In the book, a lot of things that Adrian do, he is obligaded to do. In the film the prinicpal charater too. For example she drinks and tries differents drugs. Other similarity is that the friends of principal characters do something first than Adrian or Tracy.

The diferencies are that Tracy got a terrible problems with she (she start to drinks and try drugs..) and Adrian no got this several promblems.

Expo Oral



  


Hi I'm Guillem Mancilla and my oral presentation is about handball. I wanna talk about handball in general, next time I will talk about handball positions. After of other types of handball. Next time I will talk about counties of handball practise and then Catalonia and Girona. Finally me and handball.
Handball is a sport played in pavalion. It's seven players for team. And you can do... other seven... (here I was very nervious!!! I forgeted the word 'changes')em.. in the match you can do changes and the IHF is the federation of reguls handball rules. And the main rules of handball are the follows: when you do a foult you can resived three possibilty penalites: yeallow cards, when the foul is hard but the aren't an obvious goal accion, exclusion the offender goes 2 minutes when it became in a obvious goal accion and exclusion hard, several and obvious goal accion. He goes out of the game. And this is the handball court. This is the area you can't go on area only the goalkeeper. And this is the court. 
Now the hanball positions: Goalkeeper he defends the portery and try that other team no goal.
2 sides that they are in the extrem, in the corner. They try score goals for the corner. 2 sides: they try through of the defence next to the central and tries to goal. The sides are people tall and strong. The pivot is the... is in the defence but he attacks, is attacking and he is strong and fat. He got a good shoot
The central is he, and he directs the attack. He is between the two sides.
The other type of handball are mini handball is the handball of the little children until 12 years old and beach handball pracisted in beach normally in summer. You can't vote because with the sand is impossible.
Well, now handball tradition: for nations internationaly are Germany, Croatia, France and Irland. The actual world champion is France, the European France too and the Olyimpic champion France too. So France is triple king. 
The best clubs are in Spain, Cuidad Real and Barça, Germany, Kiel, and France, Montpellier.
In Catalonia the best club is Barça, the seccion of the football club, Granollers, this is their symbol is the oldest club n Sapin and is in Catalonia and Sarria de Ter is in Girona.
In Girona, only one club in Alt Empordàis the Esplais. And in Banyoles and Fornells there are other handball teams.
I play handball since 2003 but in 2007 I leave because I can't play because any other players have in the club but I back in 2008 because the club reorganizaded and I beagan to play handball of all the court. Since September of this year I'm coach of children of 8 9 years old and they play a league of schools.
Before to the end I wanna show a goal of Juanin Garcia player of Barça.

Question: No in the Emporda in Girona have Banyoles, Fornells, GEIEG... but in all Emporda only Esplais. 
What waht? Question? A well, in Barcelona, Lloret, Parets.... Thank you for you attention

PP videogame

This week, Partido Popular, a catalan politcal partit put on their web a videogame of their candidate, Alicia Sanchez-Camacho. In this videogame, (called Alicia Croft) the user contol Sanchez-Camacho. She, in the vdeogame, was flying in a seagull (PP's logo) and she was eliminating immigrants and catalans independents. Now, the rest of political parites say that PP has cometed an errror. Also, PP eliminate this game of their web.
In my opinion PP has cometied an enourmus error because with this videogame they are saying that their are xenofogs and hate everybody that is diferent that they. Alicia in the videogame kill independece people and lot of polical partits thinks this. So PP want eliminate people who is another "race" and another ideology.
I think that the other politcal partits shouldn't do elecotral publicity of this but yes say to the votants because they choose the next president.

A 21 century princes                                          

Not so long ago and in a kingdom no too distant a princess called Elizabeth was preparing to ascend to throne. Elizabeth's father was very ill so soon she would be the new queen. The education of the princess was focused to make she a good queen.
Unfortunately for Elizabeth’s parents, when she was an adolecent she met people who thought that the king is bad for the country. At the beggining the princess didn’t share this opinion but with time, finally, she thought this too.
For the anti king ideas of the princess, she was thinking not become queen but to be a broken in wall street.
When Elizabeth told her puroposes to his father, the king died instant for a heart attack. A doctor went to the royal palace for see the cause of the death. He said that his heart was weak but with the words of her daughter the heart said stop and killed the king.
‘I will be an excellent broker’ said Elizabeth to her mother. ‘But the kingdom is without king!’ said the queen. Elizabeth said to her mother that in her opinion the kingdom was bad for the people of the country. With this thoughts the new queen, Elizabeth, dissolved the kingdom and funded a new country with democracy.
Elizabeth left the country and went to the United States to be a broker. She didn’t have education for be broker but she got illussion.
In wall street the situation was very bad: the world was inmersed in an enormus economic crisis. For this, only the best brokers could work. As we said, Elizabeth didn’t have any education to be a broker so she couldn't find work. She was forced to go back to her country.
In her country everything was good: everybody got a good wage, the new president (called Montgomery, known as Monty) was very efficent... When Elizabeth arrived to the country she went to talk to Monty become queen. When Monty and Elizabeth met they fell in love. The president was divorced so he could marry.
After six months of relationship they married and were happy forever.
