FINAL EVALUATION of 1st Batxillerat

Of course I can say I have seen an improvement in my level of English, compared to my level of September 2008. I've improved my level of writting, I've learned new things about grammar and a lot of new vocabulary.

I think that the activity that shows most my level of English is writting, because I can use words that I know to express myself, and I can do it at my way, so for me it's easier. This year there have been many new activities, there hasn't been too theory, the classes have been far more entertaining than the other years.
There have been many useful activities, such as oral presentations, because it prepares you for selectivitat, for example, and improves your fluency in speaking. I also think that practising all the things related to grammar is very useful.
I also think that there has been less useful things such as listening to others oral presentations, it doesn't improve anything of your English, you just listen, and of course it's interesting, but I think it adds nothing to improve your level of English.
The thing I enjoyed most was not having to endure so much theory or grammar book, make things fun and different, like games, watching movies, listening to music .. etc. These are the kind of things I'd like to do next year.

CORPSE BRIDE


Quite days ago, we began to see the movie Corpse Bride, and I did the summary of what we saw.
In the first scene of the movie, we can see Victor, the main character, with his future wife, Victoria, practicing the vows. Parents of Victor and Victoria think that the wedding will be beneficial because it may take more money from each other. But it isn't, because they are all ruined.
Victor does bad the testing of the votes, because he's so clumsy and he forgets what he has to say, so the priest warns him that he has to know the votes.
Victor goes alone into the forest to practice his vows. He practices and practices until he finally knows his text. But by mistake, he puts the ring on the finger of a buried corpse, thinking it was a branch. The body comes out from under the earth, and it's a dead girl, named Emily. Emily thinks that Victor had asked her to marry him, so she takes him into the land of the dead. Victor is very desperate, because he wants to return to his world, and marry Victoria, but he doesn't know how to explain to Emily the situation, because she looks very excited. He convinces Emily to return to his world, but there Victoria doesn't believe his history, and at the same time, Emily gets offended because she realizes the truth. Victor also feels the pain of Emily, so his heart is divided.

I can say I've already seen this movie, and at the end Victor finally realizes that he's really in love with Emily, and he wants to marry her. But to marry her, he has to drink poison to a die, and be a corpse like Emily. Emily thinks it's unfair, and she doesn't want him to do it. So at the end Victor just marry Victoria. Personally I think is a very sad ending.
