Dear Ms. Pintó,
I am Nuri Galí Bellapart and I anow studying first batxillerat and I'm doing the batxillerat social. I have been studying for five years in this center in IES Castelló d’Empúries. I am writing to explain the bad things and good things of our high school.
I think the high school is very ugly; I know that it won a prize but it’s very cold, aggressive because there isn’t a colour on the wall. I've now started to decorate a few paintings in the interior and it is more decorative but I’m sorry the painting is ridiculous in my opinion. It's cold in the classrooms because if you don’t sit next to the heater you get very cold. I think too, that in high school, we only do one trip in fourth ESO to Italy. In Batxillerat we don’t travel and I don’t like that, because others high schools travel every year and in Batxillerat too. In high school there isn’t a stage and it's necessary because when we do the activities together or we get together we have to go to the gym. For example: the activities of Christmas, someone does a poem or they sing and they play an instrument and we had to go to the gym to see it. And last year to gave prizes we also had to go to the gym. Other things that I consider necessary is that in the changing room there isn’t a mirror and neither in the toilet and especially the changing room of girls, it’s important. The wardrobe doesn't have heating and when the first batxillerat go to do gym at eight o’clock it’s very cold.
The good things that there is in high school is that in Batxillerat, the teachers prepare the pupils very well because we have to work hard but later you prepare for University, its well! And the other things that are good at high school is that we have big audiovisuals. It’s my opinion of high school I hope that you understand.
According to the latest polls the results are that British women spend 500 pounds a year on footwear. In the summer people spend a lot of money to have a lot of shoes. Perhaps the woman has to have ten pairs of shoes or more. On the other hand, men are easier than woman, because they don’t have a problem with their feet - they aren’t expected to look alluring. In general the most comfortable footwear in summer is sandals. And sandals are all types:
-FLIP-FLOPS: it is very popular footwear. And a lot of people have worn this footwear for long time. Flip-flops can cause tendon problems and heel pain. And the people advise that this footwear is dangerous for driving and you can slip when the floor is wet.
-SLIP-ONS WITH MOULDED FOOTBEDS: according to people this footwear is better than flip-flops. Because in this footwear there are supports that help to hold the foot in place in the shoe, so you don’t have to grip with your toes.
-BALLET PUMPS: these shoes are disastrous because there isn’t support at all times because the support has broken or a lot of people often tread down the back of shoes.
-TRAINERS: The people like trainers because they support the foot and they don’t do horrible things to your toes, and it is the most comfortable. But the problem is that some trainers don’t breathe and some people have fungus in their toes because some people have sensitive toes.
-CROCS: It is comfortable footwear . And there are varieties of styles you can try different styles that you like more. And they have straps that hold your feet in place so you are less probable to slip on the floor.
50th ANNIVERSARY OF CATALAN MOTORBIKE LEGEND
Now, the bultaco is a famous brand name in t-shirts, everybody wears their logo in black t-shirts. But once, the bultaco was a name of renown in trials and motorcycle competitions. On the 18th October is the 50th anniversary of the companies founding. After that Francisco Paco Bulto left Montessa motorcycles and the companies left the competition, the Bultaco came and it was famous and nowit is too. Bulto doesn’t want to lose the competitions, he created the company Bultaco in Barcelona in 1958. It’s motorcycle history because before it was very famous, the Bultaco Sherpa t 350 that revolutionized trial competitions in the 1960.
The name Bultaco, is a combination of Bultó’s first and last name, Bultaco. The symbol of Bultaco is believed because Bulto saw a David Whitworth, motorcycle racer, give his team the thumbs up that all was well.
Bultaco closed in 1979 with other company’s bike the Spanish after the crisis increment when Japanese bikes flooded the market. In 1999 Derbi motorcycles had the same name and logo and nowadays people wear sports clothes with the logo.
ILLEGAL SWEATSHOP IN BADALONA
Now, the legal norm is that the worked can’t work more than 9 hours per day, it is maxim. The workers work 8 hours of day and it is the norm.
In Badalona, there was a sweatshop (and it is illegal), which forced workers to work up to 15 hours per day. The workers who worked in this company send an anonymous letter to the police asking for help. The women who worked in this company were forced to work for the Chinese nationals who entered the country illegally. After the Mossos went into the building and they saw nine women sewing and two men that were between 21-34 years old. According to the Chinese family the flat measured 60 m and included 13 sewing machines and with this they could sew a lot of clothes. The flat was very small for a lot of people and there were bunk beds for the women to sleep on as well as a bathroom. The women came to Catalonia illegally for 8000€. The two men were arrested for violations but they have since been released on bail. And the women were held in the sweatshop. These companies forced illegal immigrants to work in flats or garages.
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.
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.
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)...
