Ebola

"Manos Unidas partners in Sierra Leona are fighting to obtain Ebola doesn't become an epidemic disease." 

Ebola is spreading. It is a deadly disease raging in West African countries and it has already become the worst and most important in history of Ebola.

The doctor Sheik Umar Khan, recognized as a specialist by his fiht against Ebola in Sierra Leona, is deceased by Ebola, the disease that he was fighting with and he was trying to control. Another three nurses are diseased in the same hospital by Ebola.

“Ebola is real. Ebola kills”

These are the words that the president Koroma said to the nation. It is a fragment of a speech that maybe come too late.

Hello my name is Giorgia Molteni and I’m 17 years old. I’m a student of 2nd batx IES Castelló d’Empúries. I live in Castelló d’Empúries in a house with my parents and my brother. I used to play volleyball but with the beginning of the Batxillerat I have left it.

My short-term goals are many but the most important ones at the moment are finishing my research project successfully and passing the high school with a good mark. I will do all the homework and study hard to get it. Another short-term goal is to get the driving license and find a good job for the summer to pay for it. Moreover I will go to Italy to visit my family and stay with them a few days.

I also have long-term goals, one of them is to travel around all the world, because I like travelling and I want to see more than I've already seen. Moreover I have more goals like: have a family, be financially stable, have a good job, stay in love with someone, and If I won the lottery I would be 100% happy.

The sentence that I liked is “No one’s written your destiny for you” because it’s true, you can do what you want and you decide what you want to be. No one has the power to stop you, you have to think what it’s good and what isn’t. You have your destiny in your hands. If you have a dream and you want to fullfil it don’t give up, never. And don’t give up if you fail, “let your failures teach you”.

LOOKING BACK

I see an important improvement on my english level, I improved slowly but constantly. Obviously I learned to write better and I learned new vocabulary, but the topics are different, some are interesting and some others are a little bit boring, for example, stages or Frankenstein, I didn't like it, I don't know exactly why, but I prefer other topics.

I think the best activities are the songs in class, the oral presentations and all the activities we do in papers like writings, exercices, etc.

All activities together demonstrate the validity of my English, but I think are necessary spoken improvisation activities, because some day I'll find someone in the street who can need help and I would not be able to answer right away.

I think that all the activities are usefull, because I'll need it in the future, but it's difficult to do everything, especially the blog, because it requires a lot of time, and sometimes I don't have it.

I think that the subtitled movies aren't useful, because no one watch the film, they only read the subtitles ( most people ). I think is better to watch it without subtitles and try to understand what the film say.
  
As I said before, I would like to do activities of spoken improvisation.

The power of words

Many times we don't give importance to the words we say, we say the first thing we thought, without thinking of the consequences. We have to weigh our words because often they make the difference. Words have a big power that no one appreciates.
People who have the gift of speech can convince everyone about anything, and that solves many problems. Here we have a video I saw a couple of years ago in an English class. It impressed me, that video showed me that the power of words is incredible.
I invite you to watch the video and enjoy it:

Squats of Can Vies

After the incident of Can Vies, Xavier Trias porposes transfer the building that remains standing so they can reform it and use it maximum until 2016, when it will be demolished. The first thing that the squatters said was that they rejected the bid. Their agenda doesn't include the building permit or the request submitted to the municipal mandate. "We want to constrict in a model that isn't ours," said a spokesman.

"If there is any entity that wants to present any other project, we will study," said Joaquim Forn. 
It would be a civic management, with some control that squatters are not ready to sign.

The hero of Seattle

"Today should have been a day of celebration for the end of the school year. Again, the epidemic of gun violence has come to Seattle." lamented the Seattle Mayor Ed Murray.
