It happened on my summer holidays. I was going to the beach with my family. That day we had to get up very early because we anted to arrive at our apartment early. It was a sunny and very hot day. My father was driving and I was reading a very interesting book. Suddenly, my father stopped the car because on the other side of the road a very big lorry crashed. We got scared because we heard a very loud metallic noise.
After a few minutes, the police came to see what had happened and fortunately it was only an accident and everyone was safe and sound.
Then we could continue our travel and, finally, we arrived at the apartment.

INFORMATIVE ESSAY
The Gorilla: An endangered animal
The Gorilla is the closest animal to our species. He can express feelings such us sadness and loneliness like us: humans.
His habitat is the jungle of Central Africa (between Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and Rwanda). There are 3 types of gorillas: the Occidental plain gorilla, the Oriental plain gorilla and the Mountain gorilla.
Nowadays there are less than 650 gorillas left in the wild.
They live in groups: one male, some females and their cubs.
The male is bigger than the female. He can be 170 cm long and weigh about 140 kg. His fur is black and grey.
He is a vegetarian animal and he eats 30 kg of plants and fruit every day.
But gorillas haven’t got an easy life because his principal enemy is the humans. People hunt them to eat, to get their fur, to sell them as souvenirs or to make rituals.
If you want to help this endangered animal you can go to Internet and with only one click you can find a lot of organisations to help them like:
Karisoke Research Center, S.O.S Gorilla…
To sum up, all animals are very important and we must try to preserve them because it is not correct that they disappear only for our benefits.

FINAL REFLECTION
Hi, I’m Cristina Prat and now I’m going to talk about the English class in this year and the Commenius Project.
At the beginning we had to do a personal blog and during the year we make a lot of activities like: compositions about ourselves, a scary composition and others.
The activities I liked most were the recipie because I spend very funny moments with Júlia, and also the experience in the library with the people of fourth course, because I realised that this experience was great.
The activities I didn’t like were doing some compositions and then uploaded them in the blog.
I think that doing all the activities helped me to know more of English and also to learn about some computer programmes.
My oral activity was good although I was a little nervous, I think that my mark has to be a very good mark because I have worked a lot during this term and the last weeks.
In conclusion, my English has improved this year specially in the readings because I know a lot of vocabulary and I understand better than the second course.
I also like watching films, because I think that it’s a way to learn a lot and at the same time to spend a funny class.
To sum up I’m so happy because this year I learned and improved my English and I’m proud of it.

ST JORDI'S COMPOSITION
First of all, I don’t remember many things because I was very small, only the most important things and the most moving days in my life.
When I was a child I remember that I played with my brother and my sister as they were older than me and we spent funny and special moments. I also remember when I went to the beach in L’Escala with my uncles, aunts and cousins and we did large treks near the sea and the dinners in the terrace of the house.
When I was smaller I remember that I expected the arrival of the Three Wise Men with a lot of excitement in Avià with my family and then the next morning I woke up very soon and I always woke my brother and my sister and they were very angry.
I also remember one day when I was doing P4 level in Avià school, because that day I wore glasses for my first day and all the classmates were looking at me and I was very embarrassedly, I think I will never forget that moment!
And finally very important in my life was the day that I did my First Communion because all the family was together and that day was incredible.

LUCIE SILVAS-NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
My favourite song is “Nothing else matters”. It is a song by a group called Metalica, but Lucie Slilvas made a version of it some years later. Lucie was born in London, England. Her parents were also big music lovers and Lucie started this inspired career, besides the fact that her mother was an opera singer and wanted to pursues a career in music herself. She sings, is a songwriter and also plays the piano very well. Since 1996 she has been active with her career and nowadays she is preparing a new CD. This is a well-known song but others are probably more famous.
This song explains how she sees the life and the problems that there are in it. I like this song because of its music and I love the sound the violin and the piano and her voice is so beautiful. It’s important for me because the lyrics are very nice and the music too. I like listening to this song and others of this singer in the moments when I’m down and when I listening to ,I sing and then I’m more relaxed and happy. I don’t like to change anything from the song.
The videoclip is good and I think that it explains the meaning of the song very well.In the videoclip you can see Lucie playing the piano and singing and she remembers the things that have happened to her.
In conclusion, I like this song a lot because the song wakes all your feelings up.

MY FUTURE
In 20 years my life will be like now more or less. I will be taller than now, with long hair and thin. I will be very nice, hard-working and I will live very happily.
I will have a house in Barcelona. The house will have a big garden and I will have a small dog. I will live with my boyfriend, who I will have met at university. We won’t have children by the moment. And sometimes we will visit my family in Avià.
I will teach Catalan in a High School in Barcelona and my boyfriend will work as a doctor. In the afternoon when I finish working I will go shopping or to the gym. Some afternoons I will meet my friends to have a coffee. Every summer holidays we will visit different places.
My life will be very normal and in my free time I will travel a lot, I will go to some concerts because I love music and I will also take drama lessons. I like doing sport, and I will swim, run or play tennis.
