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!

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 2^nd 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 2^nd 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

Final Reflection

I think I improve a little in this year especially vocabulary and use of realtive pronouns. I think that now I know how use relative pronouns in English. Also I leared more vocabulary reading books and doing exercices in class (for example: barking, enviroment, waste...) However, I don't know why (probably for the "stress" of Batxillerat) my English marks are worst than other years.
In my opinion, Grammar Exercices show my real level English because with Grammar Excercies you demostrate that you have understand English. Probably, readings also show the level English because are essential for understand English lenguage.
It seems that readings are really useful for me to improve my level English because in readings you learn vocabulary and how structure sentences.
I don't see useful do activites as play games. It's true that English games are fun (I'm not disargee play games) but I think that isn't useful. They are more or less imporants for do diferent things but talking about use, I don't think that games are useful.
I enjoyed doing activites as see English films o listenings because are fun but also you learn different things.
