Exchange with Berlin 2015

Hellooo!!!

Today I'm going to talk about my exchange with Berlin.

This year I did an exchange with Germany. First they came to Valencia seven days and after we went to Berlin five days with the correspondent and three other days only with our class in a hostel named X-Berger .

Before day came here we are very nervous because we don't know they, but then when they came and after I went my experience was very good.

My correspondent was Emma and she was very nice and lovely. Like she had the same age than me and we both like to do read, and do similar thing we stay very good together.

When she came here, with the school we did activities and at the afternoon, we went to do shopping, went to the beach, etc...
When I went to Berlin, I lived in her mom's flat. She and her mother don't talk any spanish so I talked in english. There at the morning, we went with the school to saw a lot of things like a amusement park, museums, a boat ride down the river... at the afternoons, I went all the days with my friends and I had a very good time visiting tourist places, going to the zoo, and doing other things like go to a barbecue ate in a restaurant...

The other tree days that we stay in the hostel, we went with all the class to saw the city and do shopping.

I think that this exchange was the best because I love my correspondent and I met a new city that didn't know and now I think that is a wonderful city
with plenty to see.

Strangers on a train

Hello!
This entry is about one project that we have done in groups in our english class.
In my group, we are Martín, Andrés, Pau R, Esther and me.
In the project we must to choose a old movie between 1930 and 1980. With my group we choose "Strangers on a train" because we think that is a funny movie of thriller and is one of the best films of Alfred Hitchcock.
After we choose the film in the english class, we met in Martín's house to see the movie and make the scripts. When we finish, we went to record the different scenes that we had chosen before and after Pau, Andrés and Martín made the scenes and Esther and me created the presentation.
The rolls are: Naima coordinator, Esther english expert, Pau, Martin and Andrés computer expert.
Our personal opinion is very good because we think that is a fun project and we can see other films that normaly we don't see. At first we had some problems to met but at the end, everything was very well and very funny.

One special moment at my holidays Easter

Hellooo!!
In this entry I will talk about one special moment at my holidays Easter.
These holidays, I went three days to Madrid, to visit my family.
First I went to my grandparents' house in the mountains of Madrid where I stayed for two days with my cousins and my uncle, and after I went with my mother to Madrid, to visit my grandmother in a nursery for the elderly.
For me, that special moment was when I were with my family in my grandparents' house with my uncle and my cousins eating a barbecue.
When my uncle and my mother was cooking a barbecue, my cousin Arantxa and I were enjoying the sunny day while I was doing hairstyles in her hair and my cousin Rubén was helping my mother.

After we ate, we were in the garden enjoying the very good day that we had.

I think that this moment was special for me because I was in family enjoying the day, and of course because I don’t see them very much so I like stay with them.

IN VALENCIA

MY NEW YEAR'S EVE

Christmas cards

Hello, this entry is about the christmas cards.
Normally on Christmas, we do a sweepstakes and then we make a card to the person who has touched us.
In this case has touched me Joan and I touched to Alvaro A.

My dream house

My dream house would be a house placed in a village near the sea or an attic in the center of New York.

If I lived in a house, it would be a large, very bright and cosy modern house with two double bedrooms.

I would like a house with wooden floors, high ceilings and big windows.

In my house I would like a large kitchen, because I love to cook, and of course I would like to have two bathrooms, one on each floor.

On the first floor, I would like to have the lounge overlooking the garden with a big TV and decorated according to my taste. The dining room would be next to the lounge, with a wooden table and on the top, a nice vase of flowers.  And the kitchen would have with a table on the middle, a big fridge and a lot of shelves.

On the second floor I would like to have a studio where I can paint, study, play the flute… As well I would have a lot of bookshelves with many books.  Also I would like to have my room decorated with paintings and photos by artists or by me. Too, I would have a large mirror, near the closet and in the middle I would have a violet carpet and in front of the bed I would take a TV. On a wall of the room, a large bookshelf with my favorite books.

On the second floor I would also like to have a terrace with a chaise-longue to see the sea.

If I have a very big house, I would like to have a large garden with a swimming pool, a small lake with many trees…

If I live in a attic I would like to have a duplex similar to the house that I just described.

Of course, if I live in a attic in the center of New York, I would like to live in a street with many shops and business.

 If I would live in one of these houses, I think that I would enjoy living in them, because such houses have very natural light and I would not feel enclosed.

I would also take my computer, because I have a lot of photos that I want inside, films, series... and so many things that are very important for me.

As well I would take my camera, because I love to take photos and it is a present from my parents.

Also I would take one of my favorites books: "The fault in our stars" and my ebook because I have many books that I want to read inside.

If my house was on fire, I would never forget my teddy bear that my aunts gave me on my first birthday and the bracelet that my grandmother gave me when I was six.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Meaning:

People sometimes say that every cloud has a silver lining to comfort somebody who's having problems. They mean that it is always possible to get something positive out of a situation, no matter how unpleasant, difficult or even paiful it might seem.

Origin:

This idiom goes back to at least the first half of the 19th century, as it is used in The Atlas newspaper, printed in the 1840s. The idea for this phrase is that when things are looking dreary, there's always a brighter side; the comparison looks to be drawn from how dark clouds have a brighter side to them: their “silverlinings”. 

Managed to clone the first time ever adult human cells

Scientists in the U.S. claims to have succeeded for the first time in history cloning cells from an adult human.

Cloning stem cells for tissue culture, required to date embryonic cells. However, researchers at the Center of Advanced Cell Technology of Marlborough, in the U.S., have achieved at present, similar results using cells from two adult men who their age range was between 35 to 75 years old.

Scientists cloned cells of two adults to create embryos in early stages. Later, they obtained tissues from such embryos that perfectly replicated DNA from donors, shows the study, published in the journal “Cell Stem Cell”.

This achievement reachs a milestone in the field of medicine because this now known as 'therapeutic cloning' adult cells could help develop treatments for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.

The results of the investigation, led by the American scientist Robert Lanza , have also generated controversy because there are people who says could be the first step towards human reproductive cloning.

Exchange with France

What is the project?
The project is to make an exchange, for one week with another school of another country.

When we go to France, with the college of our correspondent, we do activities and we go to visit places. And with the family we watch TV, we play with the wii, we do homework, we go shopping, we do parties...

My personal opinion and my experience:
My experience in the exchange is very good, because I understood very well with the french family, they treated me very well, I really like my correspondent and his family. Also I like because I learn much french and english, other customs...
I think that make an exchange is very good because you learn other languages, other customs and meet people from other countries.
