FINAL REFLECTION

Initially, I would want to say that forme this year is the most useful  because I have improved a lot in english in every way.
For example, last year, I failed the majority of writings that I give to the teacher. But, now, if I prepare the writing with time, I pass it without problems.
For me, the activity that shows that I have improved, how I said before is the writings. This year I realized that if I work, it's problably that I pass this subject. Also, I have improve  with the listenings. Before, in the exams, if the questions were difficults, I didn't suplemently very well. Actually, thanks to Gemma, I understand better that the partners say.
In my opinion, the most three useful things are: do the writings in class with Gemma, talk in english during the class and do the blog.
Do writings with Gemma is better than do alone because she help you with vocabulary and grammar. Also, it's important because we practice for do the blog in the final of the term.
Talk in english during the class is a brilliant idea because the fact that you "can't" talk in catalan, menas that you express in english.
You can talk catalan, but the teacher prefer that we talk with enlgish because with thid form we learn it.
Also, do the blog is the most important thing because you have three months for prepare it. If you prepare it with time, you learna lot because you must do ten or elevn wrintings for term. But, if you doesn't prepare it with time, you doesn't learn any new thing.
One thing that don't like me is when I learnt the pharasal verbs in class with images. For me this isn'a a good idea because I know the phrasal verb thanks to image. So, if in the exam doesn't appeared images, we don't do this part well because we doesn't learn the meaning, we know the images. We associating the words with the image and this is'nt a good thing.
The things that I repeat next year are the writings, speakings in english...
I like would to say that I includ a new thing,see more films with english. See the films completely in english without subtitles in spanish. Every thirty minutes, stop the film and coment it.
To finish I say that for me this is the best year because in it I learn a lot and I have enjoyed a lot.

BIN LADEN DEAD

In the last 2th of may Osama Bin Laden were killed in Pakistan in a hand of american soldier. Osama Bin Laden were the must hunted terrorist.
This man were famour for created Al-qaeda, a terroristic network.
After the execution amercian soldiers threwe the body into the sea because the people doesn't see the dead body of Binladen.

This new is very important because Bin Laden were very dangerous man. He destroy twin towers, a lot of murders...
Also, this is important because if the al-qaeda want revenge, United states is in danger. Also, is possible that Spain is in danger because this country is american allied.
If the Al-qaeda attacks in Spain is posible that a lot of Spanish people will die.
So, this dead have good points and bad points.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

INTRODUCTION
Hello we are Omar and Pep and we are going talk about the capital punishment. Capital punishment, or the death penalty is the sentence of death upon a person by judicial process as a punishment for as offence.

HISTORY
Capital punishment existed since the beggining of the humanity history. In the past, when one of person of a tribe kill another person  without reason, the tribe condemn the murder and kill him.
In the medieval age in the majority of the countries there was a very hard executions like burn, hurt him...
But, in the XVIII century in France appeared the gillotine, a new form to kill but the victim doesn't suffers.
In the same years in Spain appeared the garrote bil that consit of strangle the victim.
This form is very hard because the vicdtim note that he is dying.
Actually, the majority of the countries death penalty are banned. But, in the other countries like USA are lega. Also, the majority countries in Africa are legal in extremetely situations.
In the majority states of USA, capital punishment is legal but in some states in the North are banned.

COUNTRIES WHERE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT ARE LEGAL

China
In China exist when you are a murder or when you are a traficker. This is the country where are more executions. If you kill another person when you are a minor the executions doesn't apply. In Hong Kong and Macau the executions are banned because  doesn't have the same legislation. In this country is where the capital punishments are faster and exist two forms to kill.
the first form is shooting. Consist of a shot in your head, thats produced an instantaneous dead.
The second form to kil is letal injection. The first time that applied this forms was in 1997.

Guatemala
In this country capital punishment were banned but in 2008 the most importants politiscians party wanted that the executions were legal because in this country there are a lot of violence and murders. With this votes, the death penalty were legal. Lately amnisty international say to government president that outlaw capital punishment. Actually, the executions are legal but don't apply it.

Japan
Capital punishment is legal in Japan. The only crimes for wich capital punishment is statutory are omicide and treason. Beginning about fourth century, Japan became increasngly influenced by the chinese judicial system, and gradually adopted a system of diferrent punishment for different crimes, including the death penalty. Japanese death row inmates are imprisioned inside the detention centers of Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo,Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. Japan have one form to kill: Executions are carried out by hanging the chamber within the detention center.
When a death order has been issued, the condemned prisoner is informed in the morning of his or her execution.
United States
In United States is legal for most of country. Death penalty apliqued for aggravated murder and more rarely for felony murder. The first recorded death sentence in the Bristish North American colonies was carried out in 1608 on Captain George Kendall, Spanish government. Crimes subject to the dead penalty vary by jurisdiction.All crime, although most jurisdictions require aggravating circumstances. Treason is a capital offense in several jurisdictions.
Other capital crimes include: the use of a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death, espionage, terrorism, certain violations of the Genva Conventions that result in the death of one or more persons.
In United States exist actually four forms to kill: electrocution, shooting, lethal gas and hanging. The death more recent is when kill Pasul Powell in March of 2010 with electrocution.

OPINIONS FOR DIFFERENTS PERSONS

Alberto Iniesta, bishop of Madrid: I am against the death penalty. Like chrstian I believe that every human life is sacred, because it comes from God. I think the arguments against it are based on is need to restrain evil. I think in practice this isn't done. I am against the death penalty as well as in the case of an error there is no possibility to correct it. Society should not be like the criminal. Should cure a one member sick before kill he.

Julio Caro Baroja anthropologist and historian: I think that is in a time of violence and agression as we are living, make all possible campaigns to ensure the security that all people we are less aggressive and less violent os something that should be supported. All natural demand the abolition of the deat penalty now may seem utopian, but it is also trues that the utopias of the past arise realities.

Carlos Garcia Valdes, Lawyer and Teacher of Criminal Law: I am against of the death penalty in an active way, in my books and in my university activity. I base this on two reasons: first, the global humanitarian sentiment, that is, one reason might be called unscientific. Secondly, the study for many years this problem has convinced me that the death penalty serves to contain crime. To confirm the last satetemn I refer to the British statistics published in 1954.

PERSONAL OPINION
We thinking that is a madness because when one person kill another person, the solution not is kill, the solution os rehabilitate this person, if he don't want be rehabilitated the person retorn to prison.
When you kill one person and discover that is inocent, no turning back and this is an error.

In my opinion, our oral presentation is good because we explain clearly. The bad thing is that we reads a bit and this is a bad point.
Also, a thing that is improve is the time because only lasts 5 minutes.
In theory the presentation must lasts 10 minutes.
The parts that is copy, we don't understand all the words because the vocabulary is too dificult.
Finally I say that it is a good presentation, but there are things that is improving.

ASSOCIATION EQUSOS

Equsos is an association that helps to abused horses.
Last friday, this association do a charity gala for raise money. This money will be used to help the abused   horses : give a house, give food...
The charity gala was a succees, because there are 500 people and the entry costs 15 euros. So, this is a lot of money.
For me this association do an extraordinary task, and for meall the animals must have and association.
Also, this association i'ts important to the horses because before were a abused horses and today have a good life.
I and the majority of the people want to that horses and the animals in general have a decent life.

CUCUMBER KILL PEOPLE

Last week German government reported Spain because in Germany died 15 people and they think that it is the cucumbers.

They saied this because the died persons went to the same restaurant and ate the similar food. German reported Spain because the cucumbers that ate in German, come from Spain.Now, a scientists say that the thing that were bad were the cucumbers.
If cumubers would be bad, Spain would pay a lot of money to the family of deat people.

This is a very bad new because we doen's know what is the thing that is bad. So, we eat them an die.
Also I think that german government are stupid because they reported Spain without clueless.

A MURDER ON THE BEACH

Linda Stevenson was teenage who go with her parents to live to Penmarron by London. She was staying walk in the beach when she saw a dead body.
She go to the police station but the police doesn't believe she because they doesn't find the body.
After this, Linda meet Mark , a Penmarron towner.
They go to the beach and see a man or woman in the beach.
They think that she or he is a person who lives in the mansion, and go there to answer the mistery. In the mansion lives One rich mrs and her sister, Julia who want to be a holliwood actress.
In the end of the history the mistery is solved, the murder is Julia and the dead body is Mrs Landsman, her sister. Julia kill her sister because she wants to her money.
After this Julia and her friends go  out from the police and they crashed into a rock and the police found them and go to the prison.

In my opinion this is a good book because in all the history you doesn't know the murder. So. this is a perfect book of intrigue.
Also, I recommend this book to a people who likes "police books" because is this, all the time you think who is the murder.

UNIVERSITY STUDIES

Next year I will go to Girona, in UDG university to study accounting. When I was a child I want to study forensic because I like touch dead bodys.
After this, I wanted to study to teacher because I like explain to the other people and in my opinion I explain good. Also, I wanted to study to teacher because forensic is too dificult.
Now, I want to study accounting because I like the numbers.
