GOODBYE:)

Honestly, this has been the worst course ever. Last year I thought that 1st of batxillerat was hard, but I couldn't imagine what it was going to be the next year. We had exams every week, now we are nearly free, I just have to do four more exams and then practise for Selectivitat. My marks have decreased a lot this year, maybe because of the pressure. First, it was for the research project, then exams and now I'm nervous about Selectivitat.

I have been six years at the highschool and now I feel sorry for leaving. I'll miss all the classmates. This means that I'll meet new people and everything will be new for me, new classes, new streets, new professors.... everything will change. I'm a bit afraid because I'm really shy.

I hope I can live in Barcelona, it is my dream.

So, this is the last post. Maybe next year I continue I don't know.

Bye blog and see you Joan!

AMELIE

Amelie are a Catalan rock band. It was "born" on 2009 in Barcelona, when three of the five members decided to form a group.
The member of the grup are: Carles Ribes, Albert Segú, Marcel Selva, Àlex Pla and Edgar Regincós.
The first time I listened one of their songs ("Per tu") I thought that they were like other Catalan groups, with just love songs, I didn't like them. But I don't know why, now I really like their music. Last Saturday I went to Barcelona and I bought their album, which is called "Somiant Desperts". It contains eleven songs, for exapmle: "Dia i nit", "Àgil", "Necessitàvem", "Escapa't", "Fulls escrits", "Ens hem fet grans", etc. Today they are preforming at Ripoll. Luckily, one of the singers, Carles, post on Fcebook "Hello" on my biography (don't know why) and I asked him if they were going to come at plana the Vic, he said they they would like it very much. I hope they come someday!!

Here's a photo of their album cover.
This is the videoclip of "Per tu":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ-aRZzqon4&ob=av2n

ITALY*

Unfortunately, this was the last trip we did together. We had a lot of fun.

We left Manlleu on Monday 26 March at seven o'clock and arrived at Cannes at six o'clock. There, we went to the beach and at about nine o'clock we arrived at the hotel in France. The following day we arrived at Pisa (at two o'clock, because the bus driver was always late). I was impressed by the tour, I thought it would be smaller. On Wednesday we went to Firenze, which I had been when I was younger. On Thursday, we visited Siena. It is a beautiful city, full of tourists. That night we went out and we met two Italian boys. At first we were afraid because they said that they knew an Irish pub which was very good, and we never arrived. Finally we arrrived and the pub was really good. The last day we had to go to Volterra, which is the city where "New Moon" was shot, but we couldn't go because we didn't have enough time, it was a pity. Instead of going to Volterra we went to St Gimignano. The town is plenty of tourists' shops, but I was angry because I though that Volterra would have been much better.

At the afternnon we took the bus to go to Chivita Vecchia near Rome (our ship was in Barcelona because of the general stike). Our ferry left on Friday at 22.15pm. At night we went to the disco, and I didn't feel like if  I was on a ship. On the morning we went to the deck to see the sea. I was really impressed, everywhere I looked was bue, the bad point was that it was really windy. We spent 20 hours more or less on the ship, but time flied. On seven o'clock we arrived at Barcelona.

In Italy I bought pasta and some jewlery.

If I could I'd repeat it!

ED SHEERAN

His complete name is Edward Christopher Sheeran. He was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, in The UK on 17th February 1991. He's a singer and song-writer. Ed plays folk, acoustic hip hop and grime music. He can play the guitar and he can do beatboxing too!

His last album, "+" was released on the 9th September 2011 and it has four singles: "The A Team", "You Need Me", "Lego House" and "Drunk". At the "Lego House" videoclip we can see Rupert Grint, it's hilarious because they look like brothers and some people got confused while they were watching the videoclip. Ed is very talented, by now he has won thwo Brits at the 2012 Brit Awards: one for "British Solo Male Artist" and the other for "British Breakthrough Act". I really want him to win more in the future. (One Direction won the Brit for "Best British Single".)

I feel relaxed when I listen to him, he has a lovely voice.

Someday we should listen to one of Ed's songs in class. Here are some links for his videoclips:

MY FAVOURITE SPORT

I have never been a big sports fan, but if I have to chose one I'd pick swimming. I've never been afraid of water and since I was little my parents brought me to the beach and some swimming pools. My father and grandad taught me how to swim during the summer. Since then, I haven't stopped practising it.

At primary school, swimming was obligated and once a week we went to the swimming pool. At first of ESO I gave up swimming because I didn't have time.

Now I usually go swimming, sometimes twice a week. I think that swimming can make you forget about batxillerat and all the exams. It makes me feel relaxed especially on exams weeks.

Swimming is one of the best sports people can practise because you move all your body and lots of doctors recommend it.

I'M JUST CRAZY ABOUT COOKING

Maybe it's a strange hobby to be interested in for teenagers but I like it. I love making my favourite dishes.

I started four years ago by making omelettes, which is really easy, the ones I made at the begginig were terrible. Now I can do them with ham, cheese... and they are delicious, but omelettes aren't my favourite food.

My mother has taught me how to make my favourite dish: "spaghetti alla carbonara", of course it's Italian food. At first, I needed my mother's help but now I can do it on my own! I'm proud of it and my parents too because they say that it's delcious. Every Sunday, my sister and I make pizza, it's even better than the ones in restaurants.

Last weekend we made some cupcakes. They were delicious. Here's a photo while they were in the oven.

:)

My day started badly, but it got better and better. I got up at seven o'clock. I got dressed and had breakfast. The school bus picked me up at quarter to eight and fifteen minutes later I was doing a maths exam. The exam didn't go well. The second class we did was P.E. and we played football. I was standing near the goalkeeper and suddenly the ball hit my head. I fell on the ground, but luckily I wasn't hurt. The rest of the morning was boring.

At half past two all classes finished. While I was walking home and listening music on my iPod, I heard a loud noise and fell on the ground again. This is the last thing I remember.

I woke up and everything I saw was white. Then I heard a familiar voice asking me if I was okay. I couldn't believe it! The person who hit me with his car was Niall Horan from One Direction! I wasn't angry with him, because, at least, he stayed there until I woke up. That was the worst and best day of my life.

DESCRIPTION: HARRY STYLES

His name is Harry Edward Styles. He was born in Chesire, England on February the 1st in 1994, so he's seventeen, like me!

He's the youngest member of One Direction, but he sings as well as the other guys.

When he went to the X Factor audition he had just finished his GCSEs at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School. At first he wanted to study Law, sociology and Business, but he wanted to try if he could make it as a singer, and definetelly he can.

At the audition he sang Stevie wonder's "Isn't She Lovely". The judges were Nicole Scherzinger, who said he had an amazing voice, Louis. who said that he he was too young and Simon Cowell, who disagreed with Louis and said that he could be very good with a bit of vocal coaching. he obtained two "yes" and one "no", so he got through to Bootcamp.

He has got brown curly hair, and a lot of girls love him because of his curls. It's a little bit strange.

His eyes are blue-green and I love them. He always smiles, I think he's got a perfect smile!

DESCRIPTION: NIALL HORAN

I don't know what should I write, so I will write two more descriptions.

Today it's time for Niall Horan. He's a member of One Direction.

He was born in Mullingar, a town in Ireland, which is the county town of Westmeath on September 13th 1993. He's the Irish one in the band.

He has been singing since he was a kid, so his dream came true when One Direction won the third place on the XFactor.

Niall is tall. His eyes are blue. He has short and blonde hair, but it's not natural, the stylist of XFactor dyed it. He's really cute!

He's got an amazing voice and Irish accent. I love the way he sings! Hope someday they will come to Catalonia.

ONE DIRECTION

One Direction is a Brittish-Irish boy band. They have become famous because they took part in The X Factor of Britain (Season 7). They didn't win, but they were 3rd.
The band is formed by: Liam Payne (18), Niall Horan (18), Louis Tomlinson(19), Zayn Malik(18) and Harry Styles(17).
Since they left The X Factor, they have been on tour in Great Britain.
They have released only two singles "What Makes You Beautiful" ang "Gotta Be You". The second was on Youtube on Tuesday and there are more than 3 million views far from now! These guys are amazing. On November 21st they will bring out their first album: "Up All Night" I'm going to buy it!
Here's a link of a performance on The X Factor:
