The email

Dear teacher,
My name is Joana. I'm 16 years old. Now I'm doing second batxillerat so I will go to university. Second batxillerat is very difficult. This year I will have to work very hard to pass it. In summer I was very scared because I began the Research paper and I have a lot of work but my parents and my friends helped me and supported me to face challenges and never give up and keep going this course.

My short term goal is to pass alll the subjects and get good grades and do a good Research Pper. My long term goal depends on passing batxillerat, because I wil study a degree and will have a good work. To get it I have to put my best effort and I have to meet challenges in the future. Another long term goal is to do a travel around the world and visit a lot of places, but If I want it I have to study a lot to pay all the travels that will do.

Finally, when Obama says: "Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourseld to discover what it is. That's the opportunity education can provide". I think that it's true and this is a really good way to understand how important  education is for all of our lives. When I began school always thought that education is useless but now I don't have this thought, the education is the future of every single on of us.
Best regards

Final reflection 1BAT

I see an improvement on my level of english. The best activity that makes me see an improvement is the part of speaking: the oral test of the third term aboout the book The Queen of Africa, because is the best form to learn the english, and the orals presentation because always we do writings. The activity I think that doesn't have result is the composition writing in class. I like the yoursays when I can choose the topic, because when the teachers give me the topic is harder without dictionary.
When I compare my level of 4th of ESO with the first of batxillerat I can see a improvement. Last year when I must to do essays  I remember that I have more difficults. Last year I didn't do speaking and a little bit listening and a lot of writing. Finally, I think that ten essays is to much.

Self evaluation

The presentation was good and we respected the time. The topic was difficult because it have specific words. The body language and the eye contact with the aducience was good, sometimes I saw my notes. I think that the structure could be better. We gave examples and we used photos to help the audience to understand it. I think that we use a good vocabulary The problem is on the pronunciation and the speaking, I spoke so fast because I was nervous. This is my mistake that I can to be better the next presentation. Finally we saw a trailer of a case of a person who have a disability

I'm very happy with my mark, we pass with and 8'5, that's great

Five facts about story of stuff

The five important things about stuff: extraction, production, distribution, consumption, disposition.That things are a linear system and the good system is the circular system. All of these things are exploited the natural resources of the planet. The production of stuff produces toxics it accumulate in the food chain to humans. We produce 2 million kg of toxics at one year. With the air currents these toxics make pollution, alot of food that humans eat is polluted for toxics

The 90% of all that we consum in six months it becomes to waste. I agree with Annie we have a lot of problems and if we doesn’t do anything we will have healthy problems

The story of solutions

In the video of Annie Leonard about staf, explains solutions that can we do to live in a better planet. We have to change the goal of the entire economy. To get it  she suggests some things to do an these things are: have a better education, better staf, a better chance to survive in this planet, better health, better renewable energy. If we do all this thing maybe the planet can be recovered. All of these things is the minimum that we could do because we are exhausting the natural resources. We treat the planet  as if it be a game economy and that's the worst thing for the planet

It is the second time that a dog remains in first position. The trainer Jules O'Dyer and his dog Matisse have won the Britain's Talent 2015. The first time that a dog remains in the first position was in 2012. Jules said that he can't belive it. The final drew 13,4 viewers on Sunday night. The TV  hosts Ant and Dec said that the show had recieved a four and half milion votes.
My opinion:
It's incredible that one show drew four and half milion votes. A lot of people saw the program. It is curious that  dog remains in first position in a Britain Talent when a lot of people also went to the program to win it

Summary
Caitlyn has had to hace surgery because William Leonard put a tape in the snout.The last Wednseday Caitlyn went to a rescue home in Charleston. The torturer now is in Charleston County Jail (the prision) on $50000 bail. If he found guilty, the maximum penality is five years in prison and a report of $5000. The surgery was good but the tongue of Caitlyn is damaged, will be in recovery for about a week and after that Caitlyn will go to a foster home
My opinion
I think that William Leonard don't have feelings because torture a animal is the worst thing that could do. A dog is the best friend of the human and only want company and attention. I'm against of the torture of the animals.
