Oral presentation

The video was too long and I had to divide it in three parts:

New: Live stream what's on your TV with friends ANYWHERE in the world: $129 'Cast' hub lets up to six people watch shows and play games with each other simultaneously

Summary:

This article tells us about a new technology who gives you the chance to share multimedia with your friends and see the same at the same time and anywhere. It’s called Cast and connects different devices via WI-FI to tune them into a wireless system. You can share a content who are reproducing on a channel with a friend who don’t have this channel and also you can see your faces because the Cast includes a camera. Another thing you can do is to play mobile games on TV and share with friends too. This new product costs 129$.

My opinion:

I think that’s a good product because is a way to share all you want as a simple mode. On the other hand I’m not going to buy that because here we haven’t got a good internet connection so I suppose that doesn’t works fluently.

My say: My dog

Three years ago my last dog died and all of my family became very sad. The days after we thought to have a new dog and we started to search one. We thought that was better to adopt one that buy one. Some days later a dog called Nuca became part of our family. The first days she was scared and cried a lot in the nights but more or less two weeks later she started to adopt a normal comportment. Now she behaves very well and is a perfect dog. Finally I want to say that I think it’s better adopt a dog than buy one because a lots of dogs are sacrificed every day due to they have no family who take care of they. And another reason is because the people who sell dogs, make business with him and I don’t like it.

My say: Global warming

Today 28/11/2015 I went to Girona and the weather surprise me. In the sky shone a big Sun and the people wear a thin sweatshirt and I have even seen people with shorts. The temperature was very high and we are almost in December. Normally the people at this stage of the year, used to wear an anorak. This is the perfect example to see that we are destroying the world with the pollution that make the cars, the factories etc. I think it’s very bad for us and we have to find a solution soon because in the future this is going to be worse and the resources that we have today, someday disappear.

My say: Travel to Burgos

When I listened for the first time that we are going to go to Burgos I didn't believe it. I knew that the travel wasn’t going to be out of Spain but Burgos is maybe the last option I choose. And there was no more options to choose, if we want to travel to somewhere the destination in going to be Burgos. I think that there are more interesting places to visit in Spain and personally I don’t like the option but if I have to choose this travel or nothing, obviously I chose the first option. But I think that the problem begins in the travel to Germany from the other class. I can’t understand why we cannot go with them to Germany. I think it isn’t good for us because they are going to do a travel more interesting than ours and I’m not agree with that. Anyway in that case we, the students, don’t have more to do and we have to accept the situation and hope to have fun in Burgos.

New: Why turning off your tumble dryer WON'T stop it burning the house down: Families reveal the horror of discovering their appliances had caught fire even when they weren't on

News

Summary:

This week the media revealed that the tumble dryer could be a lethal fire hazard. Some people at one normal day, his house started to burn because his dryers had manufacture problems. Now the engineers have to changing millions of Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda dryers (the brands who have that problem) because the people are scared about the new since maybe one day his dryer starts to burn.

My opinion:

I think it’s a big fail from the companies and now they have to pay for it. If I had one of that type of dryers possibly I go to change it for another who doesn’t have that problems, basically to be save in my house. Although all of us know that this things happen in the industry world so in my opinion the engineers have to be more careful on this.

Podcast: The princess and the pea

My say: American traditions

When we talk about American traditions like Halloween, some people who are not from America say things like: it’s an American tradition and we are not going to copy that because we have our traditions too. But the situation change when the tradition is called Black Friday. When we talk about Black Friday the people are agree with that tradition and go shopping in this dates. I think all traditions are good to import to our country but not in excess because in that case maybe our traditions are going disappeared. So that’s my opinion of American traditions imported to Europe.

My say: Christmas: tradition or marketing?

All the people celebrates Christmas but the question is: why?                     

At the beginning Christmas was a stage of the year to remember Jesus born, and the people were united with her families. When the multinationals appeared, all of that change and Christmas became a synonym of buy more and more presents to your family and friends. I think multinationals use Christmas as a machine to make money because with her publicity they obligate all the people to buy presents for all who are important to him. Anyway I think it's good for all because in this consumer society we are more united with the presents, and I know lot of people don’t like this but it's the reality. Although the people who don't like that type of Christmas, still buying presents so they are contradicting themselves. That's my opinion about Christmas talking about a different point of view.

My say: My first term in Btx.

Before to start, I want to separate this text in two parts talking about: the subjects I like, and the subjects I don't like.

In one hand subjects I don't like, are not going how I expected, they are going bit lowest. I think that the marks depended a lot on the interest you have in the subject. In my case I hate Catalan and Spanish and that's the reason of my marks in this subjects. For me is very complicated to study something you don't like and I think at our age, we should chose all subjects we do in class or if we have to do some subjects obligatory, this subjects should be related with the Btx we chose. 

On the other hand the subjects I like are going how I expected and I have no complaint with that.

In summary this first term can be better and in the second term I'm going to try to concentrate more in the subjects I don't like to improve my marks and obviously the same about the subjects that I like.

New: China begins testing world's largest radio telescope as construction of the £124 MILLION project enters final stage.

News article

Summary:

This news article explains about the construction of world's largest telescope. It measure 500 meters in diameter and it's being constructed in south-west China, more concretely in Gizhou Province. The project is called FAST which means Five-hundred-meter Aperture Sphercial Telescope and. In the text we can learn this telescope was tested on Saturday and it's going to be finished and running in September 2016 if all is correct.

This article tells us according to The China Daily the telescope will collect information of all universe using the connection of 4500 triangles (more or less) that mesure 11 meters long. The construction will cost £124 M.

My opinion:

I think it's a good project because maybe it helps us to understand some things in the universe that are impossible to be discovered without a telescope like this. Also it helps to improve the science in general and I thing it's very important.

Rebel song

Young Again - Hardwell ft.Chris Jones

When I was a boy, I dreamed of a place in the sky
Playing in the fields, battling with my shields,
Bows made out of twine

I wish I could see this world again through those eyes
See the child in me, in my fantasy
Never growing old

Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again

You wanna feel young
You wanna feel young, again

When I was a boy, I searched for a world that's unknown
All we have is fun, everybody runs, until the sun goes down

I wish I could see this world again through those eyes
See the child in me, in my fantasy
Never growing old

Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again

You wanna feel young
You wanna feel young, again

I chose this song because I think that defines a rebel song perfectly. Maybe the lyric is too sorter than other songs but this is the best rebel song that I can found from the type of music that I listen.

The lyrics explains us the felings that people felt when they were younger and  the desire to be young again. I think that desire appears because when you are young, you are more free than when you are old, and people want to be free and do what he wants and don't following orders of nobody. Is strange for me to talk about the point of view of an adult person but that's what I think about this.

My version of Romeo and juliet

The police was following me and the only place where I could be saved was the church. When I was into the church I saw Juliet. Then I went to her and when i was in front of she, I saw his cadaver. She was died! Juliet had got a potion in her hand and I think his she drunk this before and then she died. I was crying a lot of time  and finally I thought to drank the rest of the potion and sleep with her forever. I caught the potion and I drunk it. Then I fell sleep. In two days I wake up in a hospital and now I'm here talking with you. Now I'm going to find Juliet.

Love song

"SAME LOVE" MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS

When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay 

‘Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight 

I told my mom tears rushing down my face 

She’s like “Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k tripping,” 

Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she? 

Bunch of stereotypes all in my head. 

I remember doing the math like, “Yeah, I’m good at little league” 

A preconceived idea of what it all meant 

For those that liked the same sex 

Had the characteristics 

The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision 

And you can be cured with some treatment and religion 

Man made rewiring of a predisposition 

Playing god, aw nah here we go 

America the brave still fears what we don’t know 

And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten 

But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago 

I don’t know 

(Mary Lambert) 

And I can’t change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted to 

I can't change 

Even if I try 

Even if I wanted to 

My love 

My love 

My love 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

(Macklemore) 

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me 

Have you read the YouTube comments lately 

"Man, that’s gay" gets dropped on the daily 

We become so numb to what we’re saying 

A culture founded from oppression 

Yet we don’t have acceptance for ‘em 

Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board 

A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it 

Gay is synonymous with the lesser 

It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion 

Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment 

The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins 

It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference! 

Live on and be yourself 

When I was at church they taught me something else 

If you preach hate at the service those words aren’t anointed 

That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned 

When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless 

Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen

I might not be the same, but that’s not important 

No freedom till we’re equal, damn right I support it 

(Mary Lambert) 

And I can’t change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted to 

My love 

My love 

My love 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

(Macklemore) 

We press play, don’t press pause 

Progress, march on 

With the veil over our eyes 

We turn our back on the cause 

Till the day that my uncles can be united by law 

When kids are walking ‘round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart 

A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are 

And a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it all 

But it’s a damn good place to start 

No law is gonna change us 

We have to change us 

Whatever god you believe in 

We come from the same one 

Strip away the fear 

Underneath it’s all the same love 

About time that we raised up 

(Mary Lambert) 

And I can’t change 

Even if I tried 

Even if I wanted to 

I can't change 

Even if I try 

Even if I wanted to 

My love 

My love 

My love 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

She keeps me warm 

Love is patient 

Love is kind 

Love is patient 

Love is kind 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is kind 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is kind 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is kind 

(I‘m not crying on Sundays) 

Love is patient 

Love is kind

Describing photos

In this photo, I can see a teacher helping the students probably because they don't understand the exercise. The girl in background and the girl in the right corner bellow seem thoughtful and the other students are doing the exercises. They are in a classroom probably from a small school because they are only four students and the classroom is not too big, or maybe the photo is cropped and it only shows us a small part of the room. On the background of the class I can see a blackboard and an abecedary on top to decorate the classroom and to help the students. 

 

This is a picture of five children and one women celebrating something like a birthday I suppose. The children have got balloons from different colours except one child. There is one women and I think that she is  mother of one of the children. She is ordering something to the children. They are in a sleeping room because in the left of picture I can see the stairs of the berth. They are in a flat because through the window I can see that they aren't on the floor and I can see the lights from the other flats too.
