ABOUT MY ENGLISH

My English isn’t very good, because every year, the level that I practise, is more difficult. When I was a child, I went to English classes every week, but I leftit  because I didn't learn much. But, I have improved my English, thanks to two trips in England an. The first time, I went to the South of UK, and the second time, I went to Eastern city. This summer, maybe I will so to USA, to practise my English, but it’s very difficult because my parents, I will not let me go.

TITANIC


  1. SUMMARY

In 1912, the Titanic, the world's most luxurious passenger ship, set out across the Atlantic for New York City. It would never see it's destination.
1500 people were on the ship, some first class, others restrained to the lower decks where windows were limited. Either way, the passengers on board the Titanic held high hopes, not because it was deemed "the unsinkable ship" but because they were leaving their past behind them and preparing for a new life in America.
To Jack, a homeless artist, winning two tickets on the luxery liner was the best thing that ever happened to him. His life, as well as everyone else on the ship, would be changed forever. Even before he discovered the fate of the Titanic did he know what his destiny was; he met Rose.
Rose was a troubled young woman living in a rich society, engaged to a millionaire that her mother had sought out. She was living in a fantasy, a fantasy that she didn't want, and she was looking for a way out.
Jack heroically saved Rose's life and was immediately thrust into her world though no one knew he fit in. He was the only one that could see the anguish that Rose was in... He was the only one who could get her out of it.
Their love affair would be cut short. Nighttime was a dangerous time for ships in that time period, manually having to look for obstructions in the ocean. Titanic's crew saw the iceberg too late and they struck it, the side of their hull ripping to shreds. The unsinkable ship was going to sink and more than half of the people on board were going to die.

  1. Main characters

Jack Dawson: Is one of the main protagonists in Titanic and the love interest of Rose DeWitt Bukater. He dies at the end of the film from hypothermia. He is portrayed by Leonardo di Caprio.

Rose DeWitt Bukater: Is the principal character of Titanic and the love interest of Jack Dawson. In the film, she is portrayed by Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart.

Caledon Hockley: Is Rose's fieance and the antagonist of Titanic. He was supposed to have married of Rose DeWitt Bukater when they arrived in Philidelphia. He was also extremely arrogant and snobbish.

Captain Edward J. Smith: Was the captain of Titanic


  1. Personal Opinion


Personally, I think that is a great film because reflects the facts with high precision and is a nice record of victims. My favourite part was the act that Rous leaves the jewel in the sea and the scene that Titanic crash. But, I don’t like the part that Jack was bound in the room while Titanic sinking because I was very nervous.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about your new sport cam, which I purchased online last month as a birthday present for my brother.

As advertisements for the mini-camera had been broadcast between sports programs,  I thought that the product would appeal to them. The advertisements also made the camera look very resistant and impermeable, which is why I decided to buy it. However, my brother and I think the cam has very bad quality, because the day ,that my brother was it  released it in the water, the cam was broken.

Furthermore, we were shocked to see that with the camera carries no supplement to put it in the head, or in the helmet,...While the advertisements, confirmed that yes.

Until now, I had always been really impressed with your company and associated your products with sports. It is very sad that you are promoting such material. Under the circumstances, I would be grateful if you could give me a full refund. Please find the receipt attached.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,


Quim Tarradas.

THE PLOT



Write a summary ( 100 words)
In 1799, New York City police constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is facing imprisonment for going against traditional methods and favoring forensic investigation techniques, such as autopsies, considered unorthodox and unimportant at the time. Ichabod submits to deployment with his bag of tools to the Westchester County of Sleepy Hollow, New York, which has been plagued by a series of brutal slayings in which the victims have been found decapitated: Peter Van Garrett , wealthy farmer and landowner; his son Dirk; and the widow Emily Winship. Arriving in Sleepy Hollow, Crane is informed by the town's elders that the killer is not of flesh and blood, but rather an undead headless mercenary from the American Revolutionary War who rides at night on a massive black steed in search of his missing head.

    What Makes a Good Friend?

    A good friend is supportive when you feel down, doesn't get bitter when you've fallen out, always says sorry if they were wrong. Also, he or she is responsiable and serious you need them to be, but just a little bit crazy when you need that too.


    Describe a Time When You Made a New Friends


    I met my friend Buba one year ago while I was stating in the hospital in the same room. He broke the leg and 3 fingers and I broke two arms. The second day that we were staying there, Buba ask me if I can help to put a sweater on but I couldn't, he said sorry. Then, we laughed and... we ended up being friends.

    FORMAL LETTER

    Hi Tom,
    How are you? What have you been doing since I saw you last? You won’t believe it, but I’ve been getting involved in the theatre school of Barcelona.
    I used to think the theatre was a waste of time, but I decided to go to the first class anyway. Well, I’m glad I did it because it made a real impression on me! We meet once week to prepare the shwws which will make a difference from the other theatre schools. Yesterday we’ve just finished my first actuation and it's been a big success, so I’m really pleased. Basically, theatre people do things to entertain the elderly people, the adults and young children.

    Has that ever happened to you? I mean, have you had an opinion about something but then got involved in it and changed your mind? It’s never happened to me before! I feel much more outgoing and confident now
    Anyway, I’ve got to go now, otherwise I’ll be late for our next class. Keep in touch!

    Take care

    Quim
