MY ENGLISH PROGRESS

When I was reading what I have to do to finish my blog of English, I found it very strange. I have to compare my first post of 1st of Batxillerat and the last one.

First of all I read all two posts and there are too many differences. I laughed a lot reading my first post. I think that my writing at that time was very cold and introverted. I wrote that composition for writing, not for pleasure and this it can be saw about the information that I gave.

Comparing to the last, I need to tell that I learnt a lot and also now I think that I have pleasure when I write.

I could not compare the oral presentations because I had all of them in my mobile phone and it now it doesn’t work…


This blog and also the other writings that I made in Catalan and Spanish made me think about publishing my reflections and the opinions of my friends. We are thinking about making a web page to analyse the fixtures of Spanish First Division.

GIRONA FC

SUMMARY:

The team Girona FC is been making an amazing, incredible and extraordinary season this year. The team has never been on the first division and now are on the second position.

Girona is one of the teams that have the lower budget and the work of its coach, Pablo Machín is excellent. The team is playing in a good level and the dream of the entire city is near to be part of the real life.


In this part of the season, the supporters of the club are encouraging all the players and they have an important part of the achievement.

PERSONAL OPINION 

In my opinion Girona are doing an excellent job. All this years in second division I went to see Girona a lot of matches and I expect that next year I will see them playing in first division.

LA LIGA

SUMMARY:

In La Liga (Spain), Madrid achieved a draw against Valencia yesterday that get away from the first place in the table. Barcelona achieved a win against Real Societat and there are 5 points between the Catalans and Madrid. There are two fixtures yet, but Barça will win one of those matches.

There is an amazing fight for the fourth place and the seventh. There are a lot of teams fighting for the Champions next season and the Europe League.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion, Barça will win the League title, Madrid will be the second, Atletico the third and Valencia the fourth. Sevilla, Vilareal and Athletic Club will be in Europa League next year. Cordoba, Eibar and Depor will be relegate.

PREMIER LEAGUE

SUMMARY:

Chelsea has won the Premier League title. All the season they demonstrated a big defensive strength. There’s no time since August that it were a better team than Chelsea.

Another reason for the title is that other teams didn’t play at the level that they expected. United and City were irregular.  Arsenal and Liverpool started very bad but they are playing in a top level in the final part of the season.

Chelsea made things good too. Mourinho indentified what the team needs to be better and in summer he signed Costa, Remy and Drogba, strikers. Fabregas and Matic, midfielders. Courtois that he plays as a goalkeeper.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion Chelsea is the exact winner of Premier League because all the other teams didn’t be at the same level than Chelsea. I excpect thet next year it will be more rivalry.


WORDS LEARNT:






Champions League

SUMMARY:

The first round of the Champions League semi-finals has been passed. Last Tuesday, Juventus played against Madrid in his stadium. The result was 2-1 in favour of the Italians. The defensive tactic of Ancelotti was overtaken by all the offensive players of Juventus.

On Wednesday, Barcelona played against Bayern of Munchen in Camp Nou. The match was equalized; Barça put the chances and Bayern the control of the ball. Barça won the match on the last minutes, Messi scored two amainzing goals and Neymar made the third.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion, Barça is near to the final, but they need to do another extraordinary match in Germany. Madrid I think will pass too. In Bernabeu they will dominate the match.

WHO IS MEMPHIS DEPAY?

SUMMARY:

Memphis Depay is one of the youngest talents in Europe. He played for PSV since he has twelve and now he’s age 21. He made his debut when he was seventeen. He plays as a winger and he had scored 38 goals in 88 appearances.  

He had played the last World Cup with Netherlands and he scored a decisive goal against Australia.

Now he had signed a contract for Manchester United for next season.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion, Memphis is one of the best younger players in the world and I think that United had done the best with this signing. I wish I could watch his talent on the Premier League next year.

IS THERE TOO MUCH SPORT ON TELEVISION?

In my opinion there is a good balance of sports programmes and none sports programmes on television. To answer this question I have two reasons:

First of all, there are TV channels only dedicated to sports and also others to films, documentaries or information. Here, in Catalunya, we have Esport 3 and they only put sports programmes. But if you want to watch other kind of programmes, you have a lot of channels for having fun and entertainment.

Then, I understand people that think that are too many sport programmes on television because when Barça wins a match, they talk about this too much on the none specialized channels.


To sum up, I want to say that in my opinion there aren’t too many sports on television. My point of view isn’t objective because I love sports programmes...


THE GIANT PLANTS THAT EAT MEAT

SUMMARY:

There are too many plants that look like very attractive and simple but it can eats hundreds of insects and other animals.

Plants have sweet nectar in the cup. When animals arrive there, they start to slide into the “plant stomach”.  There, the plants have digestives juices. This kind of plants can grow to six metres long.

The carnivorous plants are also beneficial for other plants or trees. Their defecations have a big concentration of nitrogen.

PERSONAL OPINION:

I already knew that carnivorous plants exist before but I didn’t realize that they can eat rats or other animals like this. The form that they eat animals is amazing and also is similar to our stomach. I think that if one day I find one of these plants, it will eat me!

PAUL WALKER, SEE YOU AGAIN

Yesterday I realized how short and strange can be a life. I am not a big fan of Fast & Furious films, I watched one and I felt sleep during these film. But this is not important about this reflection. My girlfriend shows me a song written in remembers of Paul Walker, the main character of these films.

Fast and Furious are different films, all based on illegal street racing. Paul did all the films and never had suffered a big accident doing this. One day he was travelling with Roger Rodas to an event for Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in Rodas’s car. They shocked with different trees and after the car get into flames. Paul died.


This song is See you again and when I listened for the first time it really affects me. Life is too short and we have to live it!
