Abstract

I have done a research project about body language, and I have studied the non verbal language and after it I have done a research about the meaning of gestures. It allowed me to do an examination of some videos, and it allowed me to discover that some pliticians and celebrities used it to earn the public. Moreover I have done some surveys that helped me to learn that some people think to know what is body language but actually they did not know at all.

Self evaluation

"Body language"

Presentation: I think that my presentation was good and it has leasted long enough. So I think I have an 8/10.

Eye contact: I think that I was so nervous, really nervous, so I think I have a 7/10.

Structure: I think that the structure was pretty well and ordered. I think I have a 9/10.

Content: I think it was good, I've learned new vocabulary. I think I have 8/10.

Language: I think that my language was good, not perfect, but good. I think I have 8/10.

Pronunciation: I think that my pronuntiation is good, I can improve it. I think I have 7/10.

The final mark of my presentation is an 8.

Prenuptial agreements

Are prenuptial agreements good? Should a man and a woman reach an agreement about the rules they will follow in their relationship after getting married?

Some people think that the pernuptial agreements are necessary "just in case", because there are many people that marry another person just because her or his money, so with the pernuptial agreemens money and stuff is safe, it couldn't be stolen with the divorce.

Is it always so?

Some people say that the pernuptial agreements are dangerous too, specially for the persons who didn't work and stay home doing tasks and cleaning, because in many cases, there are a housewife that didn't do anything, and with the pernuptial agreements (in case of divorce) she lose everything, and no one appreciates her work. Moreover there are persons who said that they don't accept the pernuptial agreements in anyway, because they believe that their love will last forever.

In my opinion the two arguments are correct, so I'm for, because in theory it protects you (your money and your stuff), but I'm aigainst too, but only for few cases.

Music

Doing the last post I saw that old music make me happy for the memories that goes with them. Every song is a different memorie, and I love everyone of them because they are parts of my life. It seems like it was 300 years ago, but actually they are only few years, like five years. I had a different periods of music in my life, when I was a child I have listened songs like Asereje, or the "dance of gorilla". Then when I was ten approximately I have listened only radio, because I wasn't very attracted by music. I remember that some years I've done the playback actuation, and I don't know why but the only song I remember is one of "High school musical". When I was 15 years old I listened a little bit of everything as currently.

Memories

A few days ago I found an English work that I've done years ago. This has maked me think about I miss some moments and some people, because people goes away and time never stop. Few years ago my life was completely different, and I think it also was better, because I was a young girl who didn't care about anything, it was like I was free. Currently I'm free too, but it's a different kind of freedom. I miss some people. A long time ago I had many friends, I was always happy with them. Nowadays I have many friends too, but we're more matures, we don't do the same stupids things, well, it isn't true, because my friends are crazy, but most people isn't like they. What we said when we were kids still working currently "Today I like you, we will see tomorrow".

Spain: Rare Iberian lynx tracked in Madrid region

After 40 years the rare Iberian lynx has returned to Madrid, Spain. The male lynx, called Kentaro, was born in captivity and released with seven more lynx in Toledo in 2014. Kentaro has "packed his bags and set off on his travels", it's rare that a lynx goes so far away, they tend to stay close to where they were born. Kentaro wears a GPS collar which allows conservationists to track his whereabouts. 
The Iberian Lynx is the world's most endangered feline, and the only breeding populations are both in southern Spain.

Conference with Noa

The teachers of English of INS Castelló d'Empúries have prepared us a videoconference with Noa, an old student of the school. Currently she is in Sidney, Australia. With this videoconference we all could ask to her some questions to resolve our doubts, and moreover, this conference has opened us to other possibilities such as leaving the country to practice English as Noa.
We have been asking many questions, she seemed prepared for everything, she had an answer for everything. She seemed mature. And this has maked me think, because maybe I should do as she. Anyway, the conference with Noa has helped me, because it has maked me think a lot about my future.

Thank you teachers!

Cirurgy dialogue

Two old women that are in the hospital because they're ill, are in front of the cirurgy room. They see how people change and how many people pass into the room. Moreover they are very gossip, and criticize so many people.

G- Hey! Have you seen the last man? He was very fat and he want a liposuction and the doctor said to him that he needed a nose operation, puajajajaja

L- Sure, I've seen him. He was ridiculous.

G- Yes, he was 200kg jajaja

L- This week a woman have done a nose operation, when she's gone she didn't seem the same person; I think that she’s more horrible than before. Don’t you?

G- I think so. And what about the doctor? He is operated from head to toes.

L- Oh,really? I think that he’s horrible! And when he enter with a lot of women… that’s hideous!!

G- He is very superficial, he isn’t kind or sympathetic, he is really hateful. He uses women for his interests, and then he disappears of their lives. He found girls and lowers their self-esteem to force them to be operated.

L- When he pass in front of us we can bump him into the floor.

G- But, he can be operated another time, it isn’t useful. I think we have to kill him, don’t you?..
