FINAL REFLECTION!

Hello, I’m Clara and I’m going to talk about the Comenius Project that we have got this year.
First I’m going to talk about the different activities that we have done. On the beginning of the course, we created a blog. We do the Comenius project with some students of Västervik, in Sweden so they created a blog too and we can share all our works of Comenius. We share, for example, our Christmas traditions, the traditional recipes in Catalonia and in Sweden… We can also see the favorite English song of each other.
In the blog we uploaded different compositions too, like the presentation of us, our hobbies, a story invented by ourselves…
The activities I liked most were our favorite song because I liked to share our tastes and I liked learning more things about my song, and I also liked a lot the activity of Christmas, when we had to invent a song in English. It was very funny and I think that we enjoy it a lot.
The activity I did not like was the oral presentation because I don’t like to talk in front of so much people and I was a little nervous.
I think the oral presentation was very difficult because we had to talk in English and the pupils in our class listened to you.
I think that correcting the exercises is very boring and I hate the homework. I like watching film because I love films and we learn a little English.
About the oral presentation I do it with Cristina and Miriam. We did Gósol. We met some days to prepare the PowerPoint and the text that we had to do. We found the information in some books of Gósol and in Internet. We also looked at the “Enciclopèdia Catalana”. I tried to watch the audience but in some moments I looked to my notes to orientate a little.
I don’t remember if I use markers or fillers but I know that I said some words in Catalan. In general, we learn some English words with work. I think that I was a little monotone. If I were the teacher I will have a seven because I said some Catalan words and I didn’t speak very well.
About the blog I live it a lot. I have uploaded all the works until now. I think that in general it is well-designed but I haven’t got a lot of links.
I think that I have learned some English this year because I have involved a lot because of the Comenius and the different activities that we have done.
My English have improved a lot I think: my grammar, the vocabulary, the writing… But I think that my speaking isn’t very correct.
In conclusion I think that the Comenius project helps us very much to improve our English.

MY CHILDHOOD

Do you remember when you were a child?
Write about childhood memories.


When I was a child, I went to St. Joan School. I had a lot of friends I n my class. I remember when in the playground my friends and I played together.
Sometimes we played football, other days we played hide-and-seek… W were very happy.

I also remember the Christmas with my family. I always laugh when I watch a video of my childhood. All the family were knocking the “tió”. It was, as it is now, very funny.

When I was a child, I played all the day with my old cousin. She is five years older than me. We played when my cousin came in Berga, because she lived and, still lives, in Merlès. We were cooks, hairdressers, shopkeepers… All the jobs! It was fantastic and when my brother was born, he was our son or our brother… I was very thrilled when my parents said to me:


- You will have a brother!

It was enjoyable. A new member in the family!
In the hospital, a lot of people came to see him. I slept in my grandparent’s home and I remembered the stories that my grandpa told me.
I loved so much him. Then, when my parents arrived at home with my brother, I became the old sister and I played with my brother and annoyed him.

I remember my very happy childhood.

I'm yours

I'M YOURS (opinion of the song)

I'M YOURS (by Jason Mraz)

The song that I have chosen is “I’m yours” of Jason Mraz. It isn’t my favourite song, because I haven’t got any favourite song, but I like it a lot.
Jason Mraz is popular especially thanks to this song. He is a singer-songwriter. His real name is Jason Thomas Mraz. He was born in the USA, in Mechanicsville, Virgínia, in 23 of July in 1977.
He studied musical theatre in the American Musical and Dramatic Academy of New York, and then he moved to live in San Diego.
In 2001 he married with Sheridan Edley but they got divorced in some months.
One year later, Jason worked with Elektra Records discography and then he worked with a lot of popular artists, and introduces some singles.
In 2008 he introduces his thirst album: “We sing. We dance. We steal things”. The single of this album was “I’m yours”. He got his total success with this song. It is the most famous song of Jason Mraz. Then he has collaborated with a lot of artists and recently, ha has appeared in "We are the World 25 for Haiti", with a lot of others important singers at the moment.
“I’m yours” is about the love. The really love without complications, free love. It explains a lot of singer’s feelings.

I like this song because it is really nice. I also like Jason’s voice too. It isn’t much important for me but the song remembers me the summer and it makes me feel good and cheerful and also free. In my opinion the song is very relaxing and I hear it when I have a bad day or I feel sad… I think that it happier me a little, because I want to start to sing the song. I like the general message of the song too, because it explains that can be a love without complications and with freedom. I don’t find any negative aspect in the song because I like the voice of the singer, the lyrics and the melody but there are some parts that I didn’t understand only listening. I have to read the lyrics to understand the song. I don’t want to change something from it. I like “I’m yours “as it is.

I like the videoclip too, because it shows a lot of very beautiful places and landscapes. It gives you a free and cheerful feeling. It’s also in the summer and it transmits a calm, hot and happy feeling. It’s very nice to see. I think that it’s a little connected to the lyrics because it gives the same feelings that the lyrics.
In the videoclip, there are a boy, Jason Mraz, who travels and meets a lot of different places and different people. He transmits a very free feeling. He jumps into the sea, he swims, he goes with different people… He travels freely and relaxing, without worries.

To sum up, I think that it is a nice and meaningful that help you to feel better and, in my opinion, encourages you to know different things.

story

STORY
It was a dark and stormy night when my mother arrived at home. She was scared and very nervous. She was tired. My mother said:
- There are ghosts in the forest!! I saw them!!
Then she fell asleep. We live in a lonely house in the forest. Sometimes, people from the village said to me that, in that forest, there are ghosts, but my parents always said that it can’t be true.
That night I took a bag and put some food and drinks inside it. Then I went to explore the forest. I wasn’t frightened of ghosts. When I left my house, my father was sleeping.
I started to walk but I didn’t see anything. We were starting to think that my mother’s ghosts were imaginations when I saw someone or something near a tree. Suddenly it appears behind me and started to laugh. It was a ghost!! When I started to run it said:
- Hi, what are this young girl doing in the forest at half past one at night?
It was a beautiful and young voice and I answered:
- Who are you? Why are you living in this forest? Are you really a ghost?
- Stop please! I can’t answer so much questions! I’m really a ghost but I’m not bad. I’m a good ghost. I don’t want to scare people. I live in these forest because I was dead here, it was an accident. Please don’t tell that there is a ghost to anyone.
- But they know you live in the forest. My mother saw you.
- No, they supposed it, and your mother is a good person. She is going to understand my problem.
- What is the problem?
- I can’t live but I can’t die.
- Of course. You are a ghost.
- But I’m not happy in this life. I want to live or to dead. I can live if someone loves me.
I looked at him. He looked like a good ghost. He was kind and I didn’t have a lot of friends. My parents were very good persons and, although it was incredible, they are going to understand me and the ghost.
Since that day Matt, the ghost, and me started to play every afternoon. When I had an exam, Matt helped me to study. We became friends. And one beautiful day, Matt, my ghost friend became Matt my friend. The ghost transformed a boy.
Today we are very good friends. Matt is the best friend that I have never had, and in the forest, there aren’t ghosts. My family, Matt and I are happy!
