Plans for a visit

Oral presentation

Transcription


An opinion essay!

Should that the government introduce school on Saturday mornings?
The government's planning to introduce a new law which will mean that students go to school on Saturday morning in order to improve the level of education. In my opinion, this would have some negative consequences.

In the first place, I believe that the students won't study much, because they'll become more tired and bored of both work. The teachers will have to go to school, and they must prepare more work for students. I think that the teachers haven't got more time, but they're have more job. As a consequence the teachers will have more problems with students.

In conclusion, I disagree with that law. There must be a better alternative. If they introduce Saturdays in school, people don't be motivated for school and they become bored.

WRITING: WRITE ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE

This time last year, things weren’t going too well for me. My best friend is moving to the USA and I’d also had a big argument with my cousin. Friends invited me out, but I didn’t really want to see them. I spent a lot of time training roller skaiting.

Everything changed for me the day I saw a programme about the professional girl, who do classes of roller skaiting in Barcelona. I became much optimistic and enthusiastic. My friends made me realize that I should be a bit more positive. I found out that sportsters in my town were training with a professional girl too, so I started to go in it.

These days, I feel much happier. I feel more sociable and useful. If I hadn’t seen the programme, I’d never have had the opportunity.

MUSIC: LADY GAGA

Lady Gaga is famous for her pop, dance and electronic music. If you are a fan of her single Born This Way, you'll love her album of the same name which is out soon. Her first album in 2009, The Fame, made Gaga one of the most important celebrities in the world. Now Gaga is confident that her success will continue: I primse to give you the greatest album of this decade, she told her fans.

Prince William

Prince William is the second in line to the British trone. He has a great lifestyle: he goes on fun holidays and has tea at Buckingham Palace with his grandmother, the Queen. British people love him: he works for charities and serves in the British army.
But William did not choose to be famous. When he was seven years old, William told his mother, Princess Diana, that he wanted to be a policeman. His brother, Harry, said "No, you can't. You've got to be the king!". His mother tried to give him a notmal life. She tookhim to Dinseyland and McDonald's. William went to university too, where he meet his future wife, Kate Middleton. Now the British press are obsessed with the couple!.

Amadeu: Not bad, thanks. Why do you ask?
Tània: Because you told me that you were staying in on Saturday night, but I heard that you were at a party.
Amadeu: Who told you that?
Tània: Grace said that she'd seen you. How come you didn't tell me about it?
Amadeu: Cause I was only there for an hour. My dad asked me to take my sister. I chatted to Paul for a while and then I left.
Tània: Are you telling me the truth, Sergi?

Writtings: Opinion and Write about yurself

School Exams

School exams “Yes” or School exams “No”? In my opinion, the answer to this question must be “Yes”. I think that the School exams are very important for students because their development his mind. If there were no tests, the students wouldn't study.
It is the only way to evaluate the students because if there were no exams, would be very difficult and sometimes unfair to put marks for students.
This is the best solution because nobody can make excuses.



Write about yourself and your view of the world

My name is Amadeu Fabra and I'm student in Casa Nostra in Banyoles. I'm interested in music and football. Some of my friends are into football too. The people who I spend most time with are my friends. The thing which I like best is playing a football match with my team.

I think that the world is a bad place. There are many things that make me angry, but one thing that annoys me is when people use the violence.

As far as the future is concerned, it sometimes worries me that we won't have peace. I'm a bit optimistic about my own future though. In a two months, I see myself winning the league.
