Final evaluation of First of Batxillerat

Well, today I will do a little reflection about the blog that I do since two last year’s… This afternoon, I have been looking entries that I do during this time, and I’m fascinated with the progress that I do.

When I started this blog, two years ago my posts were very different from now. I think my level of English has improved a lot, only in these two years. With this blog I learn a lot of things about English, especially vocabulary.

Do this blog hasn’t been easy, especially this year because I have a lot of work and for me has been difficult to find time to do this blog. But I’m sure that I learn a lot building this blog and I think it was worth it.

This piece of news talks about the design of a new future flying car called TF-X. The future TF-X will be the dream of many people, get fly with a simple car.

It’s an illness that comes out in a form of hand blisters and very painful in extreme cases can give cerebral infections which are fatal.

But investigation groups in the Jangse and Beijind provinces have found a solution to this problem. This solution doesn’t cure the problem but thanks to this solution the ill people can avoid been taken to hospitals.

My opinion about this new is good news to see the evolution of medicine for everyone’s well being. 

Pirates of the caribbean

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favourite movies. I like movies with action and intrigue and this is it.

 This movie like the title says is about pirates, particularly the story of a pirate, Jack Sparrow. As long as the story is told Jack Sparrow build an army to go and find his ship, which had been stolen by Captain Barbosa. Barbosa not only stoles the boat, also kidnapped a girl (the daughter of the governor) who was kidnapped at the same time as the boat.

 This is why Jack Sparrow has the support of the entire Royal Family and because of this his ship gets back and the royal family get back their daughter Elizabeth. It’s because of this, that Jack Sparrow has the whole support of Elizabeth’s family. 

From my point of view, it’s an interesting film. As the story evolves around are fascinating scenes images ... This is an excellent film which I would recommend to everyone.
