"Youth is the only thing that matters"

Oscar Wilde tried to show us that this sentence is false and only avaricious people can be against that. A perfect example of that is Dorian Gray, he thought that with a beautiful face could live better than the others, but finally he was the only without soul, he was empty.

The life is a process that you can't change. There are many stages in our bodies, thaey are natural and have their function in the society. Without these changes we can't take place in the world we live, so we don't fit in the society and we can't be happy.

Self evaluation (gallows humor)

Introduction (Arià)

Hello, TGIF everybody, we are Eloi and Arià as you probably know and we are going to explain you what kinds of humor we can find and then we will focus on the black humor also called gallows humor. We will tell you some about its history, this humor in our daily life, in the television and finally we will show you some examples of it. I hope you enjoy very much with our presentation.

Types of humour (Arià)

There are different types of jokes destinate to different people because everybody has their own taste. One important factor to consider is the geographical situation, for example if you are in Africa it’s not recommended to make a racist joke against colored people. Other factors to consider are the culture, the maturity, intelligence... For example this joke is for people with a bit of maths knowledge. If you show it to a intelligent person then he or she will make at least a little smile trying to say “Yes, I understood it” instead of being the worst joke ever.

Black humor consists on making jokes about  serious topics like death or disease. it is exactly the opposite to intelligent jokes, they usually are stupid and if they are bad the other person instead of laughing will probably watch you very bad in the best case. But on the other hand  black humor is funny.

History (Eloi) 

As its name indicates, the expression “Gallows humor” has its origin before the middle age in England, it refers to the practice of execute criminals in front of the crowd, on a stage in a gallows. People went there as an entertaining event, more or less like the actual 3D cinema with the difference that it was quite more realistic. They made comments and jokes about the murder, the thief or other type of criminals. These cruel jokes that consisted on laughing at the condemned face was called gallows humor. In usual circumstances these type of jokes weren’t funny and they were not respectuous, but people made an exception with these people because they decided that condemned people didn’t deserve their respect. We have kept the word but his meaning has changed because nowadays there are not executions like in the middle age but we laugh at modern serious problems like obesity, wars, diseases... In the past, people made the jokes at the condemned face. Now, it’s true that some people, writers, periodists, humorists make black jokes in public but the truth is that we usually hear and we use this humor in close situations at the back of the affected people, not in their faces. The main topic in the history of gallows humor was in the middle age, the serious Black plague that killed many people in Europe. That’s why we also call black humor to the gallows humor.

Black humor in our daily life. (Eloi)

In public, everybody, when we hear a black joke we put indignation face and say: “oh that’s terrible!” But admit this. All of you have laught out loud at a black joke. Even more, the funniest moments in your life when you have laughed most are with black humor. 

The truth is that black humor or gallows humor doesn’t usually appear in our daily life. It tends to appear only in small groups of friends who you have big confidence with. These type of jokes are very dangerous and can cause to you a lot of problems if you are not careful with who is listening to you; because you usually make these jokes with the objective to have a good time with your friends or people who are very close to you but it can become an offense to some people. So there are some things that you must not do: 

In general, what you mustn’t do is make jokes about some topics that can affect someone who is listening. For example, you can’t tell a joke about death if there is a person listening to you who has lost a familiar recently. Or you can’t make a joke about jews in the nazi germany if there is someone very sensitized with this conflict or someone who has a jew in the family. Or you can’t tell a joke about losers if there is a Real Madrid supporter in front of you.. that would be too cruel.

Black humor in television (aria) 

A lot of important writers have used gallows humour in literature. These writers have been  very brave because this kind of humour is accompanied by controversy. In our country, the most famous writer who has used is Quim Monzó. Oscar Wilde, who wrote “The picture of Dorian Grey” has used black humour too. Another famous writer who uses the black humor is Woody Allen. 

In cinema there also have been always gallows humor. Since black and white cinema by Charles Chaplin in his film “The great dictator” which is a parody about the Nazi conflict to actual directors like Tim Burton or Quentin Tarantino. In TV, two drawers have had the protagonism of black humor in their cartoons. Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, and Seth MacFarlane, the creator of American Dad, Family Guy and The Cleveland Show. Both of them uses gallows humor but Seth MacFarlane use it harder and their cartoons are a better example of black humor.

Examples of black humour videos and images (Arià)

Here we have put some examples of gallows humor, first of all we have to say that we are only showing you images and examples and our intention is not to offend anybody. Probably you will find funny some of the images or you will think that they have nothing funny. But what we don’t want is that you think that we are cruel or that we have bad intentions. Everybody has understood it? 

Conclusion (Eloi)

We made the presentation about this topic because we thought that is the funniest type of humor even though most of the people don’t recognise it. But we think that we don’t have to be afraid of using this humor (of course, only in the correct circumstances and with the correct people). Please, don’t go now in front of the President of Spain and tell him a joke of retarded people. we hope that you have enjoyed during the presentation and we are sure that, if you have paid attention, tonight you will go to sleep knowing something new. 

Arià Canadell: Gallows humor
Presentation (10%)	Do you use any resources? Are the resources relevant and attractive and focused on the topic? Do they support your presentation? Is the timing 5-7 minutes? We used a Prezi that is always useful, we put in it all the titles and some images to make our presentation understandable. We also put some examples of black humor that made the crowd laugh a bit, that made funnier our presentation. I don't know  how much time we were speaking but we calculated to speak more or less five minutes each one.		10
Body language and eye contact (10%)	Are you looking at your audience most of the time? Are you reading occasionally from your notes? Are you doing any gestures / movement to hold the attention of the audience? I hope so, I said almost the first part without looking any note, but in my final sentences I had to read because I didn't remeber what I had to say.		7.5
Structure (10%)	Do you organize your ideas in order of importance? Do you use discourse markers to make your ideas more clear? We tried to organize the text in three parts: the introduction, the main explanation and the conclusion.  In the introduction we said which parts we were going to explain: history, black humor in our daily life, in the television and finally some examples of it. In the main explanation we tell these parts and in the conclusion we made a little resume and we made a joke.		10
Content (35%)	Do you introduce interesting, NEW information to your audience? Is your information detailed and clear? Do you give / show examples? Is your information copied from a source or is it original? Did you look up information/facts/ideas in the Internet/books…? I think so, because before the presentation I spoke with some classmates and only one person knew perfectly what gallows humor was (this person was Christian as usual jaja) but when we finished almost all the class understood it. We showed some examples and they were funny to the audience. The information was taken from Internet but we wrote our text to be easier to remember.		30
Language (25%)	Is your grammar correct, complex? Is your vocabulary rich and varied? Do you use sentence linkers? Do you use pause fillers? As I said before we wrote the text to make it easier to remember but we tried to search some synonyms because we wouldn't repeat black humor all time. We used likers like instead, finally, like, for example....		20
Pronunciation  (10%)	Do you know how to pronounce all your words? Did you check the pronunciation with a dictionary, a classmate or the teacher? Do you change your tone of voice or use a monotone tone all the time? Did you speed in a fluid continuum or with breaks and interruptions? Before the presentation I knew how to pronounce it all but when you're in front of the class you all changes, you try to pronounce it good but your mouth is thinking on which is the next word has to say.

Gladiator's music

*I recommend to play the video below before reading this essay*

I have found the song of the year! That's it: "elysium", "honor him" and "now we are free". What do you feel when you hear them? freedom indeed. When we hear these songs automatically the first thought in our brain is the moving movie "Gladiator"; Russell Crowe played the leading role in an outstanding plot. Where a brave soldier, called Hispano, got the opportunity to be Cesar but he refused it because he was missing his family. Cesar's son wasn't able to be the main representative in the glorious empire of the moment, so he tried to kill the soldier but he couldn't so then he murdered Hispano's family. The poor man's life lost all his purpose, he had fought all this time just to meet another time his wife and his son, but he couldn't. He was taken by slave's traffickers and he survived, nothing else, only be alive. Since he recovered the desire to live: to murder his dear's murder. He fought as a slave and he won like a champion, he kept fighting to meet his challenge, instead of being hard, instead of being difficult, instead of his body injuries. Finally he could kill the son's Cesar, he didn't get a wood's sword with his freedom, he got a better prize, the freedom of his own soul. After all this time he could return with his family in his beautiful home place. 

Let me return to the songs, I don't know what my classmates feel this year but when we finish this course we will be as the soldier, free, our ways will be different. That's a bit what happens with the slaves in the film.  The first song "Elysium" when we can see in the video is preparation for the battle where you have to train very hard to be able to win the battle. As the movie shows the way will be long and not easy at all but it's necessary. You will have a hundred temptations to give up but you must keep fighting. In our case this way is obviously studying and doing our homework every day. Then the second song represents the fight in our case selectivity, the first important test in our young lives, it will mark us in a positive or negative way... Finally the last song, "we are free", easy to see the similarity, we are free!

So, I definetly have found the songs of second, but I don't want to finish like the soldier, I want to get the freedom but then I want to approach it.  

The necessity of laughing.

Everyone is different and every person has his own needs. Moreover, most of us have never known someone who has not laughed ever, that is why is difficult to say what would happen to someone who has never laughed. However, most humans need laugh loudly occasionally because it is proved that it gives physical health, mental health and social benefits. 

The best known and the biggest benefits are probably the mental ones. Everyone knows that laughing deletes stress and anxiety and these are factors that makes you less happy. But, what about the physical benefits? Did you know that laughing prevents heart diseases? This is only one benefit; even though, there are a lot: it relaxes muscles, it boosts immunity… We can’t forget the social benefits too. It is helpful for strengthen relationships, for avoid conflicts, it improves teamwork...

What’s the purpose of our life? According to some philosophers, is the personal research to the happiness and the only way to achieve it, is laughter. We have a natural sense of humour, nobody taught us how we had to laugh when we were only days old, but we did. It’s the only natural way to express our feelings with the crying, obviously the first one express the happiness while the second one express bad feelings.

In our society we are educated to earn money and success in the future, so people think that their objectives in the world are to be as rich as possible the day of their death, it’s completely false! You won’t need any stuff in the place you will go after die... So we have to approach every second to be happy and delay the other as much as possible.

To sum up we would like to say “don’t worry, be happy because life lasts two days”. Worries bring problems while laugher eliminate them. Definitely laugh isn’t necessary to live but it’s required to live good, as a person. So, if you want to do a favor to yourself or to the people around you, laugh in every opportunity you have and give a smile to yourself and to everybody.

Obama's speech 2010

Hi Sonia! That's an email to explain you about my goals in a short and a long term. Until now I have earned good grades (in my opinion) and I have played tennis almost every afternoon, so that's a little challenge that I have successfuly passed. Some days I was tired after school but I always went to my tennis class because "you become good at things through hard work". I have lost a lot of matches, of course, but I have never given up. I won't probably be a professional tennis player (because it's very difficult) but I have the second chance to get a scholarship to study abroad (USA). In the future I will meet challenges more difficult but I have to face them and keep fighting like now. 

Well, as I said in the introduction I have the chance to study in USA, clearly that's my short term goal. I have to put my best to earn good grades and achieve go there. Probably most of the people set their own goals but if I go there I will be too much focused trying to fit in and getting my university degree. I will meet challenges every day so it will be enought, my dream is to meet all this little goals.

Long term goals are difficult to say, our lives are changing every time. As Obama said "I have to discover what am good at" so my responsibility is to discover what it is and put my best to develop that. I want to pay my bills in the future so it's important to get a job but keep going with my own live if it's posible. Maybe that's my long term dream, to get a job but without forgetting my live, to approach every single free time I will have. 

Obama's speech was very moving in my opinion, it's like a movie of the poor guy that meet all their goals after having a lot of chances to get a turn for the worse, but he didn't give up and nowadays is the president of the USA. It's a good example of success like Michael Jordan and J.K.Rowling. I liked so much the idea that every one of us are special doing something. While I was watching the vidio I was asking myself (me too?), but mr.Obama said it very convinced so may be true. 

To sum up I must say that it's positive that we thing on dreams but is more important to approach our adolescence. There is a catalan expression that I love so much and says "what didn't kill you makes you stronger" similar to "You have to let your failatures teach you". I think that this sentences are my conclusion, I have to try and if I fail I have to learn of it and keep going, always keep going.

Final post

That's the last post of the course.... it's also the last homework I will do to first batchieller... what can I say... I'm very happy! After a hard working year I have finish all my work. As a philosopher said years ago, "the world is moved by pleasures", so now we will enjoy the next summer as it was the last. 

This year I have improved my english level and these final essays are uncomparable with for example an interview that I made in the first term. I have an extra motivation in english lessons because I imagine myselve in a class in the USA. I will need to understand a lot of cientific names and what the teacher is saying... so I must study hard during next year. Now I'm waiting first exam results every second more nervous, I finish the exam happy but now I think that I will not pass. 

Probably I will continue this blog next year and I promise that I will do it more regularly, because this year I have done the blog too much fast.

I hope you will have a good summer and a good relax! See you soon :)

Documentary

In class we watched an  interesting documentary that made a little sumary of the evolution of the earth and the effects that the humans have caused to it. We are more dangerous than any other specie, we have wiped out a lot of other types of animals and we are going to a near autodestruction of the human race. The documentary which is very powerful shows us how much important has been the use of fuel, it has increased the velocity of the climate change and much changes.

 Their images were really amazing, taken from all arround the world. I haven't seen this video before I hadn't hear of it too. I think that it should be interesting that it could be seen for everybody because that's an important topic that we must respect. However the fuel will run out nearer than we think so we should develope a new ecologic technology. 

Humans have to admit and recognize that we can't do whatever we want without consequences, we also must learn that we aren't alone on the earth and we can't manipulate the nature like our own body, the earth is a place where much animal live on and we must understand that as soon as posible.  

Strange moments in the high school

I have thought that it should be interesting that I explain a funny story that happened to me few years ago... I will keep some names in the mystery because I have to study one more year in the center and I don't want to be involved in any problem.

One friend and me were always going to the school library to play a stupid football game, almost every day, we only were there at last five minutes but one day the "library's teacher" (as you probably know is a bit hard with the students),  came to us and she started to shout very loud. She asked us what were we doing and we only could answer that we were doing a project for the history teacher about the epic football teams. We had to lie but for a good reason. We stopped going to the library and we were very frightened, during a pair of weeks, of the history teacher. He didn't say nothing so all went perfectly. 
I have other funny stories like when I arrived twenty minutes late to the english class, because my friend didn't go to school this day... 
And... when I was near to recive an expultion because I forgot to advice a substitute teacher...
I'm so shy so I try to pass undetected in all the classes where I go but always happen such things to me.

Security is being increased in Brazil's biggest cities after protesters announced they would go ahead with mass demonstrations planned for Thursday.

Security is being increased in Brazil's biggest cities after protesters announced they would go ahead with mass demonstrations planned for Thursday.

Security is being increased in Brazil's biggest cities after protesters announced they would go ahead with mass demonstrations planned for Thursday.

Protesters in Sao Paulo said they would take to the streets "to celebrate" the reversal of a public-transport fare increase announced on Wednesday.

The protests, which were originally triggered by the increase, have since grown into a much wider movement.

Demonstrators are angry at corruption and spending on next year's World Cup.

Fenced off

The authorities in the city of Rio de Janeiro have erected barricades around the state legislature building, which was vandalised during protests on Monday.

The state governor's office, Guanabara Palace, has also been secured by a double layer of barricades.

Workers have also fenced off the elevated walkways opposite the mayor's office and at central underground train stations.

Protesters told the BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio they would not march to the city's Maracana stadium, which will be hosting a Confederations Cup match between Spain and Tahiti at the time

Sincerely I understand perfectly the protesters because it should be very unfair if they  live without some privileges and then their governament spend millions of pounds in a sports event. So I think that these demostrations are justified because the most important thing in a society are the persons who live in. However the world cup has been placed in Brasil and nowadays is very difficult to change the place because there are some international rules. Brasilian people have to approach the turism that it will bring to the country, and the governament must spend some money to improve the city and the security in it. This is the most pleased point to improve, security, they have problems of some bands that lives in "chavelas" and there, there isn't any drugs control and of course any gun's control. I think that it's a perfect opportunity to eliminate the corruption, because most countries are focused on Brasil and the their athletes.

The demonstrations maybe will be useful but in my opion they have done them to much late.

Oral presentation

The right definition of “global warming” is, as you probably know, the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since 19th century and it will rise more and more if we do nothing.

Scientists have spent decades looking for what is causing global warming. They've looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. The only way to explain this rise of temperature is including the effect of greenhouse gases emitted by humans. We produce too much carbon dioxide, the vegetation can’t transform all the carbon dioxide so the gases are being kept in the atmosphere. How you can see in the second photo less re-radiated heats escapes into space. So the energy is not escaping well from the earth and we keep temperature. Our greenhouse effect that usually protect us, now are raising energy levels, but it’s our fault. 

How you can see in this graphic the temperature is rising very slowly.  But this little change supposes big effects. Now Marc will explain some of the most important global warming’s effects on the earth.

All in all we have to say that our presentation was a bit similar to Ana’s and Xantal’s presentation because the topics were very related. Maybe we can say that humans are killing the earth with our pollution, in my opinion now we can do nothing because we are young and is very difficult that a simple person could make sense to a big company that they have to change. But we can give support to a NGO, working for them or giving money to them.   

Finally we will show a you little video related with the effects of global warming 

Global warming quiz

Firstly I have to say that the quiz was so strange, there were different types of questions: obvious ones (that almost everybody must know), logic questions (that maybe you don't know but after thinking them for a minute you can get the correct answer) and finally some questions that I answered luckily. 

I have passed the global warming quiz but I have failed two questions. The third one asked me which planet was the most pollution by the runaway atmosphere gases, the chances were Mars, Earth, Venus and Jupiter. I put the earth because I thought that it was the only planet which have its own atmosphere, but that was wrong, the correct answer was Venus. Then the eleventh question "Hybrid cars get better gas mileage than cars with standard engines" was very confusing in my opinion. The correct answer was "sometimes" but I put always because I didn't know the answer.

Gap year

Gap year

The gap year is a period of time between the high school and the university. It's a good ocasion to get experience in the futures jobs. A lot of people try to do volunteer job because it's a very good chance to improve the CV.

On the one hand gap year students need a little break between two important stages of their lives. So they approach this year to keep positive energy and start the new course as good as posible. Many people who do this type of trips are more sociable and they are more preparate because they have take care of themselves during a year.

On the other hand, students can relax too much during this year and in this case is a lost year. In some places you must pay for the food and the house and not always the family can afford it. Also maybe the students reduce the capacity of studying during this time.

All in all it's a good experience for everybody if you take it as a work year, but if we take it as a holidays year we will have spend a good chance to improve like persons and we will have lost a valuable time.

Opinion essay

We have almost learnt to respect the world.

Nowadays we are emitting gases and waste without taking care of our planet. However, there are more campaigns against the big companies than decades ago.

Firstly, I can't say that we emite toxic products to the sea because I haven't seen it, but I have heard it. That's terrible because we are not only wiping out forests' specis but we are also killing shellfish. 

Secondly, wherever you go we can see pollution and desforestation produced be humans. But while some people try to go green other people are earning money and pollute the earth.

Thirdly, instead of being responsible nowadays we will live in a dirty world because  yhe rubbish lasts a large period of time on the planet.

All in all we are being more responsible than years ago but we must keep improving if we want to live in a world with animals and vegetation.

Police to target drinks drivers with summers enforcements

Police to target drinks drivers with summers enforcements

"As the national summer drink drive campaign launches today, Cheshire Police will be supporting with a series of anti-drink and drug driving initiatives to both raise public awareness and provide locally driven enforcement activity.

The intelligence led operation, which will be driven by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), will focus on drivers aged under 30, but also daytime drinkers who may drive to 'alcohol fuelled' events and take the risk of driving home.

Although drink driving enforcement is an all year around activity for Cheshire Police, road safety messages will be delivered through targeted enforcements involving roadside breath tests and field impairment tests.

ACPO's enforcement campaign will target well-intentioned drivers who do not think they are breaking the law but who may be over the legal limit by the time they get into their cars to drive home. Those found to be over the limit will face prosecution, which can lead to a jail sentence."

This type of campaigns are very necessary to avoid accidents killing innocent persons.

Police from Cheshire do breath tests checking the alchool in blood and also if drugs substancies are taken. This is very good to young people and also adullt ones to avoid accidents. Drivers must be more concious of the danger that represents to drive drunk or  whith less reflexes, it can kills an innocent person and themselves too. For this reason if they are caught having drunk they can be brougt to the jail. Here in Spain is a little bit the same but instead of going to jail they have to stop the car waiting for hours untill the alchool levels in blood are normal, and also the driver loses points of his driving licence and can be ran out of circulation for months.

I think these controls are a very good acction from the police to keep ourselves safe. So people who must drive have in perfect conditions to drive a vehicle. In a group of young people going out they can agree that the driver being a different one every time but the most important thing: choosing a non drinking driver to go home.

Impairment: to reduce or weaken in strength, quality. (Reducció de..)

Prosecution: he institution and conduct of legal proceedings against a person. (processament)
Fuelled: any substance burned as a source of heat or power, such as coal or petrol. (alimentat)

Harry potter

Harry potter

The last film  I have seen is the last film of Harry potter, it has been published months ago, I'm a fan of their films. I think that they are very imaginative and emotional at the same time. I own all his films. I started watching it when I was just a child. All the characters in the film have changed a lot, like me, so I am always watching guys a bit older than me (we have grown together), for that reason I think it's a good film for our generation, we feel a bit identifiied with them despite of being (maggles). My family is also a fan of them, when we can we put together at the living room and we see it. We have other favorite films, the important thing is that we can relax for one day in the week. 

In the last film is when harry's history finishes with the dead of his enemy. It's the best film of his seven ones, because it contains action and we can solve some mysteries that the director gave to us in the other films. 

If the make another film I will see it in the cinema as all the others ones but I think that Harry has ran out of the screen.
