Since the creation of the humanity people have been creating and inventing new things that could be useful for us to facilitate our daily life.
But not because of this all inventions are useful, here we have an example of something that's not necessary for us: A hand that applies deodorant.
These works like this: First of all you have to push a red button what's situated on the hand's wrist and then the index finger will move downwards. This is the action that will pour the deodorant to your armpit
You can paste the wrist on the wall if you want. These are some internal operations that help this device to work, like the gears who the thumb finger has inside or the connection between the red button and the index finger

Reality TV
Nowadays, reality TV a very controversial topic that gives a lot to talk about. It's usually hear it's good and bad, so now I'm going to talk about the advantatges and disadvantages of it.
On one side, reality TV is an entretainment source that you can watch when you don't have anything to do or you're bored.
On the other hand, what characterizes realities is the obscene vocabulary, arguments, fights...Which could give a wrong appearance to the young people who watch this kind of programmes.
In conclusion, reality TV programmes are ok if they're directed to the adults, and I personally like them because they help me to escape and get entretained although there are too many fights that shouldn't be broadcast.

The sea is dying!
Geologists saved millions of people!
Yesterday... By all the coasts of Tarragona, Benidorm and Andalucía turned up some specimen of sharks, jellyfishes and other kinds of fishes dead.
The Greenpeace ONG affirms that it's been because of the explosion of some oil explorations that were near of this coasts.
The geologists have saved millions of lives warning us about the "Biggest European catastrophe". Some geologists predicted an earthquake that could have place in two years, but a recent research has figured out that it was going to be today. Thanks to them, all the inhabitants from Sweden, Ginebra and Lyon were evacuated, all this was before Sweden became divided in two halfs.
Great Expectations
Alternative sad ending
A different Pip's future
Then, one evening in December, I returned to the old forge.
I supposed I could see Joe so I decided to make him a present. But by the time I arrived there, nobody was there. I thought that maybe he was ill so I went to his house but when I picked up at the door, nobody answered. I saw an old woman who told me that Joe has left the town after I went to University and no one had seen him since then.
I was very disappointed because I felt as if he had abandoned me, so I decided to go and visit miss Havisham. I thought that maybe Estella was there. There had passed so much time and I still couldn't forget her. Although she brought me a lot of problems, she was the only person who made me feel something I would never forget and I believed in the possibility of seeing the love of my life for the last time before trying to forget her.
For my surprise, when I knocked at their door, nobody opened. Not again, I thought. But life wasn't by my side and a little boy told me that miss Havisham has died some time before and so did Estella because she wasn't able to fight against the pain she felt. Once he has told me this, I took the first train directly to London and I came back home with the worst feeling somebody could ever feel.
The summer was a disaster
When I think about last summer, one word only comes to me: disaster. It was 23rd of June in the morning, when my five best friends and I went to Marbella by train, we were going to stay there for a week alone.
​
First we arrived Marbella and then we went to the apartment. We went to the reception and they told us that they had lost the reservation, so that night, all of us, had to sleep on a bench. Next day we paid another hostal. At night we wanted to go party. We started drinking and some neighbors came to our apartment. One of this neighbors who's called Diego gave us a present, weed and extasis. On the 3rd day, I woke up on the floor in a house that I didn't know. Then I undestood tht I was screwed up.
I ran away and I searched a mobile to call my friends but people didn't trust me so I went to a fuel station and I asked where I was. I had to hitch-hike to arrive to my hostel. This day I lost my jacket, my pair of shoes, my money and my mobile phone. So this trip was a disaster.
Light pollution
1. Definition
Light pollution occurs when there is an excess of artificial light. These damage our health and disrupt the ecosystem.
2. Causes
-The lack of sensitivity of the people that is due mainly to a lack of information
-The use of street lamps, spotlights or spotlights ... That, by a bad design or unsuitable position, let a great part of the light escape outside the area that needs to be illuminated.
​
3. Why is it a problem for environment?
-We all know that nocturnal animals are more than diurnal animals, they need the night to feed themselves
-If there is an excess of light at night, the night sky can’t be appreciated
-What worries most are insects, which because of the ultraviolet light of the streets alter their biological circles, what people don’t understand is that if the population of insects descends can cause damage to many other species, such as birds, bats...
​
4. Why is it a problem for people?
Health effects of over-illumination may include: fatigue, stress, aggressiveness and increase in anxiety.
The World Health Organization's for Research on Cancer affirm that an excess of artificial light produce increased incidence of breast and prostate cancer.
5. Solution
Some suggestions for possible solutions are:
-Turn off the streetlight in streets that have less traffic.
-Ban lasers that make light to the sky.
-Build the lampposts by way that the light goes to the earth.
If Pip has never left Joe’s job probably he would has felt better because he could stay with his sister when she died but he didn’t like this job so he could be a bitter person. He would not have been a roommate with the judge's son
The most famous sports in Lleida
There is a fact that doing sport helps us to be more healthy. In different regions there are different popular sports. Today I'm going to talck about the most famous sport in Lleida. Which are the most popular games in our city? Can be Football?
​
Well, of course, football is adored by lots of people in Lleida, but people play other sports like tennis, swimming, cycling etc.
​
In my class, we did a questionary, and the results were amazing! The people practice cycling more than football. This is so strange because teenagers usually play more football. So, is cyclling the new way to be healthy? What do you think? Is it more healthy to play football or go cycling?
The patron of Wales
Dewi Sant was a church man, who was later called the patron of Wales. There's no much known about his life, although his born date is a mistery, it's believed that it must have been between 462 to 512 a.c. It's also said that he lived more than 100 years and he died the 1st of March of the 589.
The 1st of March a lot of religious acts take place around all the country, where there are a lot of festivals and sportive events. The streets are crowded by people waving the black and yellow flag, which represents Dewi Sant. In this celebration, people from Wales normally wear the traditional costume and also the naffodil flower stamped in their clothes as a National sign.
Boys and girls celebrate it in their schools taking part in the 'Eisteddfodau', one of the typical competitions from this party which consists in looking for the biggest naffodil.
English recuperation
My reflection on this year
At the start of this school year I was very excited and I really wanted to do it, although doubtlessly the first trimester was the worst, because I had to adapt to the new rules and new people of the high school. I went through a big change during this course, because the fact of realising that it was going to be harder than I expected, made me feel a bit upset. Meanwhile, in the second term I started to focus on my work, because this way I was able to get away from everything that was happening to me outside the highschool.
The third term has been like a fight inside myself, because of the stress of the end of term exams, I had a lot of doubts between what I had to do and what I really wanted to.
In conclusion, this year has been a completely challenge, whereas I hope it's worth it thanks to my choices, and I also want that this can make all my experiences lived during this months something I'll always remember
The song
Movie in English
Weeds
This serie’s about a family of 4 members, when the householder dies because of an enlargement in front of the youngest son, all their lives start to take different ways. Nancy, the widow, has the duty to get money as she can to maintain her family, so as she started looking for jobs, she decided to sell Weed. When she got into the street world, Nancy realised that one of the risks of her job is to die, but she couldn’t leave it at that moment.
At her home, since her brother’s appears, who’s escaping from the militaries, the problems keep increasing. Her young son, terrified, starts to show some psychopath symptoms. He, because of her illness, starts to bite her peers and asking for drugs at school. Have I already said that he’s twelve? Her older son has met a deaf girl, who’s making him try a lot of drugs.
In my opinion, this serie’s really good, because of all the drama that this family is carrying, but because of this we could say that it’s also a comedy. The life that this mother is living is really realistic and we must be conscious that a lot of people has had to make a lot of ilegal things to survive.
Every night, I live and die
Feel the party to my bones
Watch the wasters blow the speakers
Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light
It's just another graceless night
I hate the headlines and the weather
I'm 19 and I'm on fire
But when we're dancing I'm alright
It's just another graceless night
Are you lost enough?
Have another drink, get lost in us
This is how we get notorious, oh
Because I don't know
If they keep telling me where to go
I'll blow my brains out to the radio, oh
All of the things we're taking
Because we are young and we're ashamed
Send us to perfect places
All of our heroes fading
Now I can't stand to be alone
Let's go to perfect places
Every night, I live and die
Meet somebody, take them home
Let's kiss and then take off our clothes
It's just another graceless night
Because...
All of the things we're taking
Because we are young and we're ashamed
Send us to perfect places
All of our heroes fading
Now I can't stand to be alone
Let's go to perfect places
All the nights spent off our faces
Trying to find these perfect places
What the f**k are perfect places anyway?

"The surprise"
The 26th of July my friends made a surprise party for me and my boyfriend because we were celebrating 4 years on a relationship.
Bertha, Iris and Richard told us to go to have dinner to Richard’s house. Once we were there, my boyfriend Joan and me were very surprise, we didn’t expect that that was going to happen. We saw that all our friends were there, inclusive some other people that we hadn’t seen in a few time. We were really excited.
An hour after talking to everybody who was there and thanking for doing our party, we started having dinner. During dinner they played a video in front of everybody of Joan and me while we were having very good time, since we were kids from now. Once we had finished the party started, and everybody became drunk (including myself). After a while, I realized that my boyfriend wasn’t anywhere, so I started looking for him, although I didn’t find him. My friends started to look for him, because nobody had any idea about where he was. I thought that maybe he had gone to the car to look for something, so I started to enjoy de party again.
It was when I went to the bathroom when I heard a pair of strange noises which became from the bedroom from the next door. When I opened the door, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My boyfriend was having sex with my best friend, Marc!
I hit both of them and I broke Marc’s leg, I wasn’t able to think in those moments so I couldn’t control my strength!
So in resume, my surprise that day was that I got a report and nowadays I’m a cuckolded.

"Someon I admire"
I've been a lot of time thinking about someone I admire and I didn't realize that that person was there, in front of me all my whole life.
My mother was born in 1962, now she's 55. She has brown short hair, she's not really tall but she's the most wonderful woman in the world. But the most I admire about her isn't this, I know that she may have bad things as everybody has. Nevertheless, I admire her the way I admire simple people, those ones who are honest, they're the ones who show the world how they really are. Those who have an attitude like 'That's how I am, you can take it or leave it'. And that's why I admire my mom, for her ability of treating the others and respect every people for who they are, although maybe they don't treat her the way they should. For this and for a million reasons more, my mother's the kind of person I would like to be in a future.
San Francisco
The first I'll do when I arrive at 6:30 at the airport of San Francisco is have breakfast in the airport's café, which costs 11,86$, it ends at 7:00. Later, the first activity starts at 7:00, I'll do a boat tour through the San Francisco bay, it almost lasts about an hour, I'll pass under the Golden Gate bridge and skirt Alcatraz, I find it really amazing because it only costs 31,44$!
The second activity begins at 8:30 and it's a tour of 4 hours, it starts in the Golden Gate and then we'll go until the Union Square and Twin Peaks, it finishes at 12:30.
Once the tour is finished, I'll go to a restaurant near where the boat for the next trip is prepared to sail. This restaurant's called 'Alice's Restaurant' and won a Michelin star, so that's the reason why having lunch there costs almost 83,04$. At 13:30 I'll have finished, so when I finish delighting myself with the delicious meals that they serve there, a very interesting trip will be waiting for me. It's about an eight hours tour through the Alcatraz Island, where we'll be able to see everything from the most famous prison of the world. Because of the impossibility of getting out from there, it'll cost 133$. This activity will end up at almost 22:00 and then I'll go to have dinner to a restaurant which's near the airport, dinner will cost 71,17$ and at the end of the day, I'll go to the airport to come back to Spain.

How to drive your students crazy in 45'
First of all, when you arrive at class, you should say something like: "Students, today you have an exam". When all students became sadness, you can say: "I'm lying, it's just a joke". I'm sure that your students will be thinking about how to kill their teacher.
​
During the class, you can order your students to do five pages of exercises and when they finish, you should say: "O.M.G. I have made a mistake, do another five pages". Another important think is never to solve your students' mistakes, if it's possible you should sing to yourself or make you look like a person who is deaf.
If your students are not crazy enough, this is the key that any teacher should ever know. Of course, when the bell rings, you'd like to leave but you can make the students stay at least half of the break, reading some books in English! This method can't fail. It's the best way to make your students become crazy, and if it doesn't work, I must say that your students are aliens!
The house
The third owner of the house was a 25 year old boy called Zaid. He was and stranger who was running away from his country. He was a hard worker until one day his older brother convinced him to steal a bank. When they carried out with the plan they had thought at first, everything went wrong and the police turned up at the place they were.
The police took Zaid to police station and he said all the idea was think by his brother, so he could go free and didn't stay in jail.
One night, Zaid had difficulties to sleep so he went downstairs to his kitchen to have a glass of water, when he heard some strange noises. Looking for where the noises were coming from, he realized that those were the voices from the last two owners of the house, who were screaming:
- Run! Run away from here!
He went upstairs as fast as he could, closed the door and stayed.
Suddenly, the window broke. Zaid, scared, looked through it to discover what had happened, when he felt two hands who were pushing him. The last he heard before dying on the land was a voice who, between laughs, was saying:
- You should have heard them...

My reflection on this year
This year has been a bit hard and with plenty of ups and downs, we'va had to make a huge effort to get over a lot of kinds of examns and assignments. However, behind all the effort there is also a feeling of delightment caused by every passed exam and correct assignment. I've reached new experiences such as, thankful to the research project, I've been able to understand the correct way of working and carrying on an investigation parting from an hypotesis which was created by myself.
​
​It should be also pointed out that we have received a lot of help, from all the teachers, that have guided us through the whole year and also the classmates, who have created a group where everybody helped each other.
