Final Reflection

I can see an improvement on my level of english this year, my vocabulary has gotten better and I've learned a lot of new words. Now I speak english more fluently. I think the best activities that show my level of english are oral presentations and writings. The same activities have helped me improve my english because they require a little bit of everything (vocabulary, grammar, verbs) so they are very useful. The activities I didn't find useful were from the grammar book and the dossier, I think they don't really matter because in real life we won't use spread sentences like in those exercices. The activities I'd like to repeat next year are oral presentations to speak more fluently and writings and readings, because we'll have to know how to write and read well in english in the future.

Albino orangutan

An animal organisation rescued a rare albino orangutan from the jungle in Indonesia. A veterinarian said that she was in very bad condition and sick when people rescued her. She was very stressed, had skin and hair problems, and suffered from dehydration. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, which found her, is asking the public to suggest names for the animal. 

Three suns in Mongolia

A weird celestial phenomenon appeared in Mongolia, and it looked like there were three suns in the sky. The middle sun was the one we usually see every day (the real one), but the ones on each side were the sun’s smaller reflections. A local meteorological centre explained that the optical phenomenon it's called anthelion, which means that the reflection is caused by sunshine high in the sky and light passing through snow crystals in the air. An anthelion can appear when the temperature is lower than -30°C, and the air is filled with clouds, vapour and ice crystals.

Cholera in Yemen

Cholera has been found in Yemen. Around 9,000 people this desease. Yemen can't help everybody get well because it doesn't have enough resources and there is not enough room in hospitals for everyone.One billion dollars is promised to the UN (united nations) because it is asking for money. 

Tornado in Oklahoma

Last Tuesday, one person died after a tornado struck houses in Oklahoma, USA. The storm destroyed about 40 houses and damaged another 75, as well as knocked out the telephone service into and out of the city. Aid workers brought food supplies into the area for the local residents.

Gap Year

I plan on doing a gap year when I finish batxillerat. Mainly because I don’t know what to do after that and I want some time to clear my mind and make a decision. It will be a gap year of work to gain some laboral experience. I plan on working in Sephora - a make-up store - in Barcelona or Girona. I want to be a make-up artist so this job it’s not far of my goal because I’ll learn about the brands and the products. I will also do client’s make-up if they ask for it. I will lear of all of this and it will help me in future jobs. My plan is to work there during the school year, from september to june approximately. I’ll earn some money so that I can go to a make-up school later.

My future

I often think about my future and what do I want to do with it. Now more than ever we have to choose the subjects and what we want to do in school to get into university or something like that. I want to be a make up artist, I've known that since 3rd of eso when for some reason something clicked in my mind and I realised that what I am good at and what I enjoy doing it's make up, so I will persue make up as a career. But sometimes I can't avoid thinking about what if make up doesn't go well? What if I can't do make up anymore? That's the reason I am doing batxillerat, to have options and maybe go to University. If I do choose to go to university, the degrees I will be taking are a degree in history or in philosophy. The two things interest me a lot and I don't know which one I would want to know more. I haven't thought of what would I do when I finish either of the careers, I don't think I want to become a teacher so I don't know what would I do. But all of this is only my second option first of all I want to try and be a make up artist because that is the goal of my life. I adore doing make up and I could never get tired of it. I will probably want to work in a magazine doing editorial make up or in a film set in movies and shows doing characters make up.
