Language games

This is an English game to learn vocabulary and I have learnt a lot playing this game because it's very funny and at the same time you learn a lot of useful vocabulary that in this game it's about football and this type of things. How you can see in the photo I have scored 11 points that there are 11 questions answered good in 90 seconds that it's the time you have to answer the maximum number of questions you can. If you answer well the question you score a goal to the goalkeeper that are there and if you fail the answer you don't score the goal.

This is a photo of the skydive of Empuriabrava. Here we can see some parachuters on the air. They have just jumped form the plane and they are doing a special form for the photo. All these people are in the frontground of the photo but the background is the best because is where we can see the spectacular landscape of the Alt Empordà. In the background on the top we can see "Cap de Creus" and Roses and on the lower part we can see Empuriabrava and all the waterways going to the sea that it is very beautifull and is shining with the reflection of the sun. Apart of this, on the background on the left we can see a lot of fields that are very beautiful too.

What I'm going to do in the future?

What are you going to do in the future?
What do you want to study?
These are the questions I have heard more in this last two months. All the people ask me this and I always answer the same: "I don't have any idea, I'm too young to decide this".
But the reality is that I have to choose which kind of studies I will start the next year and for the moment I have decided to do "Batxillerat" in the same high school I'm now but I have decided this, only because after, you still have many options, and for the same reason I have chosen scientific option.

In the research of the expected motorbike

Since I was thirteen I have wanted a motorbike and when I decided to do the exam for the driving licence, the state change the permitted age to drive a motorbike and I had to wait a year when a many of my friends had already motorbikes. Finally the last summer I could  do the exam and I passed but then my mother didn't like that I go with motorbike because she think that it's very dangerous but with the time she has been used to see my with the motorbike and now I'm proud to can drive my motorbike for all the bad luck I have had.

Your best experencies in Italy

We go to visit a lot of different monuments in Italy and when the trip started we thought that Italy was very beautiful but later it was always the same, and it was for this reason that I think that the best of the trip it was the ship because it was a very big and luxurious ship. There we could do a lot of things and we never were bored because we could go to the disco, to restaurants, to the gym...the only bad thing was that the trip took 22 hours.

Book vs Film

We can find a lot of differences comparing the book and the film in all of the aspects like the language, the places, etc. and these are the most important ones:

First of all the most different it could be the places because the book's story happened in the medieval village of Verona and the film's story happens in the new Verona that it's a very big city with big buildings and with near the beach that it's in United States.

There are a lot of metaphors in the film like when there are fights there are a lot of fire or a storm and when there are love situations usually occurs in swimming pools with very beautiful water.

In the book we don't know the narrator's identity because it's omniscient but in the film the narrator of some chapters is the newsreader.

About the language of the story the book it's wrote in actual english but the film utilizes the antic language of the real book in verse.

In the book the characters wear old and big dresses of the medieval ages and in the film they wear shirts of our time.

A lot of elements have been changed like the swords for the guns, the prince for the police's boss, the apothecary for the drug seller.

Then there are another difference in the way that Tybalt kill Mercutio because in the book they fight with the swords but in the film Tybalt kill him with a broken piece of glass.

Friendship

Friendship is usully false and people used to take advantage of the others, and say you can count on me, I will be there, etc. but you only can count on a few people that you know for a long time. When we are called to help our friends in need or we are in need we can see the true and the false friends and the real ones are those that will be always with you. And if you know that when you need it, someone will be there, this is a true friend and you will never let him go.
