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!

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

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.

Oral Presentation and Podscat

I got problems to upload videos and podscats so I can't post these tasks. In this post I can valorate my oral presentation and upload our Powerpoint.
I think our oral presentation wasn't good because we didn't prepare good (we don't get time) and I was very nervious, so I think our mark is a correct mark.

V for Vendetta

The last film that I have seen is V for Vendetta. This film is based on a book which calls at the same name ass the film. The film director is James McTeigue, who was born in Australia. The actors are Nataile Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Fry and others.

The plot of the film is based in the V's history. V (Hugo Weaving) is a mysterious man who always wear a mask. This man live in London, England. The political system isn't a demoracy but is a dictatorship whose leader is Adam Sutler. V wants destroy the dicatorship for be free. V found a young girl, called Evey Hammond (Nataile Portman), who is attacked for the police. V wants change the society and shows to Evey what can he do. In the first part of the film, Evey lives with V in his home and sometimes V go out (probably to kill people realtionship with Sutler). In the second part Evey is tried of V and leaves from his house. Now, Evey lives with a fellow worker. In his house she is captured and must think how escape from jawl.
I think V for Vendetta is an excellent film: good scenes, great actors and surprsing end! In our time I think that is a fantastic film because talk about change and new society. Also I think that we should learn about V's speech. I recomend this film for people who are disagree with our system.
