Billy Eliot!!

In the film Billy Eliot the character is Billy, he is a weak and sentimental boy. His mother died when he was young and now he lives with his grandmother, father and brother. Billy liked to play the piano. His mother always played the piano when he was young. His Father doesn’t like Billy to play the piano because he remembers his wife. His father and brother are miners. But now, the film is situated in 1984 and they are on strike and they went on strike in Northern England. His father is ill-tempered and he wants his son to go to boxing classes.. Billy only has one friend and his friend was gay. Billy was reserved. Billy doesn’t like boxing and he was a bad boxer. He gave the family glove, it was very old. His teacher tells him that he has to practice a lot and the teacher punished him. Next to the boxing class, the girls do ballet and he want to dance but he is embarassed. The ballet teacher gives him special shoes and he started to practice and he was a good dancer. He smiled and was happy. A person who played the piano told his father that his son went to ballet class with some girls. His father was afraid and he told Billy that he could never be a ballet dancer. I don’t know the end, because I can't see the whole film in an hour.


News!!

Catalan Police study Psychology

The Catalan Police have to study psychology for professional development. It’s a new subject to help the Catalan Police when they have to tell a family the news that a loved one has died. This subject is so that Catalan Police have experience telling of violent events or when trying to console the type more correct. In Catalonia, there is The Police union Sindicat (SPC) which is organizing the classes and these classes prepare the police when it comes to facing emotionally charged situations. In theory, the year of this subject also includes meeting with people suffering mental illnesses. The subject is working with the Association the Victims 11-M. It’s a very difficult very difficult situation and it’s the best example to situate this subject, because in this situation the police have to communicate to a family that a loved one has died and a lot of time the police don’t know what to tell a family about the accident. So the class tries to make the best of psychology of police work to tell a family in the most correct form of communication that a parent has died.


Ave clips the wings of air service


In Catalonia there is a demand for the Ave, ( a high-speed train), between Barcelona and Madrid. The Ave is better than plane to go between Barcelona and Madrid because on Ave you can eat in a restaurant and it is more comfortable than the plane. To travel on the Ave is cheaper than to travel on plane because to travel on the Ave costs about sixty euros less than to travel by plane. The “Prat” slips in wake of train. El Prat Airport is down 5.3% this year and in the pont aeri too. Now the only growth in airport is in international flights because we think that because there is now the Ave and people use them in national traffic.

Migrants opting for domestic work

In Catalonia the migrants opting for domestic work, a woman vacuuming a living room or helping a senior citizen to have a walk. In Catalonia, the domestic services have increased- a lagging construction sector as the industry for migrants. The migrants work as domestic services because they don’t pay taxes and they don’t receive any benefits. The domestic service sector absorbs 16% of immigrants that lack work papers and if we compare it to the hospitality industry 13% and 6% in the industry sector. The industry sector depends on the union, this union is called Union Comissions Obreres (It’s a very important syndicate in Spain and Catalonia). A lot of migrants help senior citizens go about their activities. So they have a house and there is a meal every day and they have to look after the old person.

Fashion Victim!!



My opinion about being trendy is interesting. I am a girl who likes to follow fashion. When I can, I go shopping or I like to go window shopping or I like to try on the clothes. I am interested in fashion and the clothes go out of fashion very quickly. My favourite things are the shoes and now the boots, the scarves and the bags. I like them. My favourite's colours are red, purple, pink, black, and green. I prefer colourful clothes.

The fashion changes every year, so I want to say that the people who follow fashion seem to we to have an obligation to buy new clothes. An example that they follow fashion is Victoria Beckam, Paris Hilton, Carolina (Mónaco)...

My Oral presentation!!

Thirteen and Adrian Mole

Tracy VS Adrian

Tracy and Adrian are adolescents, both are 13 years old and they have started puberty, to love and they started to see a few difficulties in life.
Adrian and Tracy are different teenagers. The both fall in love but the with different people, logically. Tracy falls in love to Javi and Adrian falls in love with Pandora. Adrian and Tracy’s parents are divorced.

The differences are: Adrian is a teenager who has a problem with his appearance, relationships, his family… but he hasn’t got a problem with drinking because Adrian doesn’t drink and drug. Adrian doesn’t go around with bad influences. On the other hand Tracy goes around with Eve who is a bad influence for her. Tracy is a rebel and she wants to be popular so she started to drink and drug. I think that, Adrian has a typical problem when you are a teenager but Tracy has an exaggerated problem when you are a teenager.


Opinion of the film

This film is about adolescents and I think that it is exaggerated, because I think that the teenagers can have a lot of problems in different situations and the mother, if she is divorced, I understand that she lost control with the problems that her daughter has.
What is not normal is a friend that sleeps all night in your house and she livse in your house and finally the friend blames Tracy and her mother, this is incredible!! I like this film because you can see that there are a lot of people, a lot of madwomen or madmen than you. Jajaaa:) This film represents very well what we don’t have to do because we can see the consequences.

Opinion of Tracy

I think that Tracy is a good girl and she is good pupil. But when she doesn’t have control, she is a rebel and she wants to be a popular girl, so she drinks and drugs and she goes around with bad influences. In this film Tracy is impolite and she doesn’t like mother’s boyfriend. She misses his father and she goes to Eve and she feels better but in the end she forgot what she had before because she is tired. She is a girl that miss family love so she shouts for attention.
