LOVE ACTUALLY TRAILER

ITALY
















The trip in general was great. We spent a long time together and now, we are more friends than before. We visited a lot of cities, but the city where I enjoyed most were Milà, because it's a wonderful place with this big galeries and because everybody was tired. It was funny. Venezia is on e of my favourites too. We went shopping a lot, however, all the products in Italy were very expensive. For example, a Cocacola costed 4€. I'll explain some curiosities of the trip: For example, the history of Judit and her loader. Judit said ALL THE TIME in EVERY PLACES that her loader of the mobile was lost, so at the end everybody laugh and told her: Judit, come on, shut up! Also, we had little arguments, but I think that's normal and I didn't worry about it, because I know that we love each other a lot. About the nights, we went out only one day at the disco of the hotel and until 12 a.m. We'd liked to go out more, but it's OK. We were waiting for this trip and it's already finished. I believe that this trip is unforgettable. I imagined it more or less this way, and I'm happy about it.















A LETTER: EXPLAINING A PROBLEM

I've had a problem recently. Two of my friends are going out and the boy loves her a lot, but she isn't interested so much in the relationship and she flirts with other boys. I'm worried and angry at the same time.
I'm worried because I don't want that my friend, the girl, hurts him because I love him a lot. I'm a little angry with her because if she doesn't love him enough, whe has to tell him. She can't flirt with other people while she's going out with him. I think that I have to tell him the truth. Telling him that his girlfriend is flirting with other boys is the best solution, although she's my friend. Doing this, it's possible that my friend don't want to talk to me in a period of time because she'd be angry. I'll understand her, But I believe that she has to understand me, too. My position is very difficult. Another solution is not to say anything, but I don't know...
I'd really like some advice because I have to do something now and because I'd like the opinion of someone else.

A DIARY ENTRY

Alex, my classmate, stole a CD from a shop and he lied to the police saying that he was in my house. I lied to my parents to protect him, but a security video from the shop shows him very clearly. In this moment I thought that what I've done was the correct.
I think that my friend was wrong because he mustn't steal thinkgs. It's illegal. So, he had to bring money if he wanted it. If I hadn't has any money, I would have to tell to my parents or to my friends and they would have given it to me.
I don't think that this will happen again because he was afraid when the police interviewed him and I hink that he felt bad. He's probably learned his lesson now.

BROKEN STRINGS



Lyrics | James Morrison Lyrics | Broken Strings Lyrics


The meaning of the song is that the couple is trying to save te relation, but the boy confess that forgive is not enough because she broke his heart once. And they tried to make it work, but he doesn't love her the same way as before. In short, he can't resist more.

MY SECOND TERM LEARNING REFLEXION

I think that the second term of English in general was great. The aspects that I have to improve are specially the pronunciation and the writings. I'm happy about my oral presentation because I think that now, when I have to be in front of the class and present my power point, I'm more relaxed and of course, I speak better. Also because I enjoyed the topic that I've chosen. The bests parts for me in the subject of English are the half group lessons. Although, the grammar is very important, but I prefer doing speakings, magazine, writings... It's more interactive. As I said as before, I have to practice more the writings. It's quite difficult for me do a writing, because I have to learn more vocabulary and the connections. About the blogs, I don't like so much because for me is quite stressing but we have enough time to do it. I believe that one of the best ways for learning English is watch a film (or also a song) because you have to paid attention for understand what they say. I like a lot the film Crash that we watched in class. In short, I can make it much better, specially in the blogs, but it's OK.
