This video show the effects that the virus caused to Mexico. Rajesh Mirchandani (reports from Cancun) says that Mexico is in the middle of a government-ordered shutdown to stop the spread of swine flu. The virus was been originated in Mexico, so the tourism undergo a negative change because it’s a virus that’s transmits by the air, it’s very dangerous. In the country's main tourist region around Cancun, many are more concerned about the economic impact than the virus.
With the orals presentations I can see a lot of differences. I think that the orals are good examples for recognize our evolution in English language, English expression, English vocabulary and our embarrassment in class. For example, in my first oral presentation I was very nervous, embarrassed and insecure, and in my last oral presentation I’m very calm, very secure, and very agile. I can see that in my first oral presentation the content of the oral and the structure was poorer that in my last oral, the language it’s the same, the structure presentation too, but the fluency and pronunciation get better now. It’s obvious that we have a good progress, but it’s funny and interesting to compare this.
2.
I think that my best oral evidence was my oral presentation of photography, and my best podcast it’s about mistreats people. My best written evidence I think that’s the opinion essay.
I choose this evidence because I think that are so better than the others because I spend more time on crate this.
The future.
I’m sure that this work (portfolio and blogs) was a very useful thing. I’m sure that in the future, when we’ll see all this work, we’ll be proud of us.

This video show some persons (3 persons conretly) who are talking about Orangutan in zoo escape bid. This zoo (in Australia) was temporarily evacuated after an orangutan short-circuited an electric fence in a daring escape attempt. The monkey named Karta blocked a stick into wires connected to the fence, and piled up debris to climb a wall at Adelaide Zoo. She sat on top of the wire for about 30 minutes before apparently changing her mind and climbing back inside.
Thursday 21 of April, the bulldozers began to draw the surplus lands of the place that in the future will be marine zoo, which is to be built on land reclaimed from the sea next to the Parc Fórum (in Barcelona. It will be a centre for the re-introduction of Mediterranean marine species. It's the first step for the reform of the City Zoo, that should allow to shift part of the zoo collection from the Parc de la Ciutadella. If all goes to plan, the zoo is due to be inaugurated in 2010.
Nicholas Mead says: is organic food a healthier way to eat, or a pricey marketing ploy?
Although organic food is as old as the hills, some consider it just another new-age fad alongside such things as yoga, tai-chi and bio-diesel. The Minister David Milliband dismissed organic food as nothing more than a lifestyle choice. Never, skeptics maintain that organic is nothing but a marketing label. Organic crops are those that have been grown without modern industrial methods such as pesticides, artificial fertilizers and they have also been processed without food additives. A result of these is that organic farms still only account for two percent of Spain farms, and over 80 percent of heir produce is exported.

A second film, Dalí is to focus on the artists relationship with Picasso and his rise to worldwide importance.

David Montgomery, the author of this article, says: It is only possible to properly understand the artist by visiting Catalunya.

The brain is the citadel of sense perception, surgeons and research scientists have begun to discuss the possibilities of a brain transplant. A successful brain transplant would be a monumental task. To transplant a heart alone takes a teen of more than ten doctors, while a brain transfer would require an army of physicians. The brain is the only organ that’s actually aware of itself.
One famous brain says:

Faré un canvi Per una vegada a la meva vida Sonarà realment bé ho faré diferent Ho faré bé...
Mentre em col•loco el coll De la meva jaqueta preferida El vent està atordint la meva ment Veig els nois al carrer Sense lo suficient per menjar ¿Qui sóc jo? ¿Estic ceg? Fingint no veure les seves necessitats Una indiferència temporal Una xapa trencada d’una ampolla I l’ànima d’un home Es segueixen els uns als altres A través del vent, ho saps Perquè no tenen cap lloc on anar Per això vull que sàpigues
començaré per l’home davant el mirall demanant que canviï la seva forma de ser i cap missatge podria ser més clar: “Si vols fer del món un lloc millor, mira’t a tu mateix I llavors fes un canvi”:
He estat víctima d’un amor egoista Ara me’n adono De que hi ha gent sense casa Sense diners que deixar ¿Puc realment fingir que no estan sols?
Un forat profundament marcat El cor trencat d’algú I un somni que s’esvaeix. Ells segueixen el curs del vent Ja ho veus Perquè no tenen un lloc en el que estar Per això començaré per mi.
començaré per l’home davant el mirall demanant que canviï la seva forma de ser i cap missatge podria ser més clar: “Si vols fer del món un lloc millor, mira’t a tu mateix I llavors fes un canvi
començaré per l’home davant el mirall demanant que canviï la seva forma de ser i cap missatge podria ser més clar: “Si vols fer del món un lloc millor, mira’t a tu mateix I llavors fes un canvi
Tens que fer-ho bé, mentre hi siguis a temps. Perquè quan tanques el teu cor No pots tancar la teva ment.
Llavors tanques la teva ment. Aquest home, aquest home, aquest home, aquest home Amb aquest home al mirall Home en el mirall (Oh si!) Aquest home, aquest home, aquest home Li demano que canvi la seva actitud (millor canvia!) Ho saps...aquest home Cap missatge podia estar més clar Si vols fer del món un lloc millor, Mira’t i llavors realitza un canvi Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na Na Nah (Oh, sí!) Ara sonarà realment bé! Yeah Yeah! Yeah Yeah! Yeah Yeah! Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Nah (Ooooh...) Oh No, No No.... Faré un canvi Sonarà realment bé !Va! (canvia) Elevat a tu mateix Ho saps Has de parar-ho Tu mateix! (Si, fes aquest canvi!) Has de fer aquest canvi avui! ¡Hoo! (Home davant el mirall) Has de... No t’abandonis a tu mateix, germà... Hoo! (Si, fes aquest canvi!) Saps que tinc que aconseguir que aquest home, aquest home... (Home davant del mirall) Has de moure’t. Va vinga! Has de... Aixeca’t, aixeca’t, aixeca’t! (Si, fes aquest canvi!) ¡Aixeca’t i eleva’t a tu mateix! Ara! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Aaow! (Sí, realitza aquest canvi!) Anem a fer auqest canvi Vinga! (Home davant el mirall!)

I have problems to upload my oral because it was recorded with a Mobil phone (of one member of my class) and I can’t see my video in the computer. I told to Gemma. I’m sorry; I hope that I'll can put in my portfolio my next oral presentation.
The new first minister is in love with a member of her department. A writer elopes to French for reposing his life, and he felt in love again. A happy woman who is married thinks that she has losing her husband. A recently woman married interpret erroneously the attitude of the best friend of her husband. A child boy would like attract the attention of one girl very beautiful. A stepfather who had been widow tries to connect with a daughter who can’t meet… Love stories and lack of love in the Christmas dates.
“Cosmic Ghost” Discovered by Volunteer Astronomer.
Kevin Schawinski, an astrophysicist, and his colleagues at Oxford University enlisted public support in cataloguing galaxies; they never foresaw the strange object Hanny van Arkel found in archived images of the night sky.The Dutch school teacher, a volunteer in the Galaxy Zoo project, discovered a mysterious object some observers are calling a “cosmic ghost.”Van Arkel toke an image of a strange, one gaseous object with a hole in the center. Quickly, Astronomers who run the site began to investigate and soon realized van Arkel might have found a new class of astronomical object.Any person had idea what it was, and for this reason scientists working at telescopes around the world and with satellites in space were asked to take a look at the mysterious Voorwerp. The acientists and astronomers never found any reliable explanation of this mysterious object.
Most African countries have now been independent for over 40 years. Most are blessed with all the elements to help compete on a global stage (abundant natural resources, a young population and the climate and conditions to be a major agricultural force). The symptoms of corruption are:
- Teachers demand bribes from their students because they cannot get by on their wages. - Government officials, doctors and nurses steal drugs meant for their patients to sell on the black market. - African leaders have property portfolios across the globe, while their citizens live on $1 a day or less.
Until these gifted and enterprising people can be attracted to return, most of the world's peacekeeping efforts, on the continent, and certainly most of its aid, will have little effect.
Christmas in Catalonia has a special set of traditions. December us upon one more and the frantic contradiction to Christmas is clouding everyone’s judgment. Mental checklists of presents over whelm all other thoughts, turning innocent day dreams into gift wrapped nightmares. To start with the “dies festius” begin for earlier than December 25th. The All Saints celebration pn November 1st still sits recently in the collective memory, along with its “panallet” cakes, muscatel sweet wine, “castanyes” (chestnuts) and boniatos (sweet potatoes). The days more importants are 25th, 31st, 24th(“caga tió”), 28th (lit Innocent Saints’ day) and 6th (“dia de reis”). It’s a really funny tradition of Catalonia.
In my country, Catalonia, humor it’s a thing very usual and for example, it’s a form to connect the TV with audients, create programs of comedians, humor cartoons, sitcoms… In my opinion, the humor in the TV it’s a great thing, because transmit happiness to people who like this programs.
First of all, there exist different types of humor according to the country. The Spain humor is different to the American humor. The people who live in Spain, generally, hate the American humor, and vice versa. There are humors for each age, too.
Secondly, I think that the humor is the better remedy, the better therapy and the better mechanism for make smiles and spread positivity. Furthermore, I think that’s a great thing to unite and socialize people.
To sum up, I would say that humor it’s necessary to survive because I thin k that’s a drug: We can’t live in peace without.
