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.

INFORMAL LETTER
Hi Johnny! What's up? I decided to write this letter to you because, as you know, I'm in a very interesting journey around Europe, and I promised to you before I set off that I would write to you some e-mails, and here you have the first. But I don't have a computer here, so I'm writting in this classical way.
I found out that there were some very cheap train tickets. With them you can travel at some European countries. This is InterRail.
At first I went to Berlin, and the train broke down after half an our. I lost all the night waiting there. However, I met two new friends, Josh and Sue, and now we're travelling together.
We stayedin Berlin for three days. It was so funny and interesting! In fact, I bought a little gift for you, I'm sure you'll like it ;).
Then we took the train and we wet to Amsterdam, where we're now. And yesterday, a very weird thing happened to me: I was walking down the street when I came across a woman that I had never seen before, said to me that she was my mother, and she began to cry in front of me, saying that she had finally found her daughter. I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to upset that poor woman, she was desperate. But my surprise was that after a minute, maybe less, the attitude of woman changed completely, and a camera appeared from somewhere, it was at that moment when I understood that I had been victim of a television joke. After that I was laughing for a long time.
To sum up, I can say that it's being a very interesting journey!
I hope you answer me, actually, I really miss you.
Take Care!
Anna.

OPINION ESSAY: We have almost learnt to respect our world, do you agree?
As everyone knows, this world is full of problems, like pollution, poverty, global warming, and many more. And all this problems are very serious; they unbalance and destroy the world drastically. During the years, people have become aware of all these problems, but being aware is not enough. There must be a solution.
First of all, I think I have to say that in the last years people have realized of what is happening, and they have proposed measures to reduce it. That’s a good thing because it shows that we can stop it.
But on the other hand, I think there is a bigger problem: apathy. People are unable to cooperate in resolving all these problems, we know the solution but we don't do it. Moreover, we're too selfish and we only care about us, even though we know we're harming future generations, or creating a giant inequality in the world.
We tend to think that if our situation is good, the rest doesn't mind, and everything that we do, we do it because it benefit us, not at all the people. We should think a little for everyone and not only for ourselves.
In conclusion, I think that maybe we've learned a little more to respect our world, but we also damage it. Every step we do forward implies two steps back.

Discussion essay: Being a celebrity is a good thing
We've all ever wondered how would be to be someone famous. In fact, is the dream of many people. When we see celebrities who appear on TV, or magazines, at first sight it seems to us that they live in paradise, in a dream. But is it really so? We know perfectly that no. Being a celebrity has its good things and bad things.
There are two main advantages that celebrities have: money and fame.
When you become a famous person, you win lots of money, and it lets you buy things you always wanted, you can some of your dreams, travel to a lot of places, new experiences. You can buy a lot of houses full of luxuries, cars, even private jets. You can let explode all your lust.
And also there’s the fame. Fame is something that attracts many people. People like to be known and popular, have fans and people who identify with them. Celebrities go to big and expensive parties and they appear on television and all media.
But obviously, not all are benefits.

But obviously, not all are benefits.
There are many, perhaps too many bad points. Your private life disappears completely. You're always being chased by paparazzi who take all the photos they can to publish them. And it doesn't matter if you're not working, if you are in holidays or at home, there is no privacy. There are many rumors and speculations about your life, public and private, and often is all a lie. You can't do anything without being criticized, you have to live up to a celebrity, and if you don't do it they judge you badly.
In conclusion I think that becoming a very famous person brings many frustrations, and the quality of life deteriorates. I think the ideal would be to stay in a half point, and have more freedom, although I don't know if it's possible.
Description of a place: My Bedroom
Well, I will try to describe my bedroom, although it's a little bit difficult because it's a bit chaotic.
The first thing you notice when you enter in my room is that is very disorganized. There's no order, I can say that everything has its place in the middle of chaos.
To begin, the door lock is broken. When you finally enter at the room, you can see on the left side of a wall built in wardrobes. There's where I keep all my clothes. The desk is long and narrow, and it has got many drawers. Above the desk there are a lot of things for example a lamp, a mini cactus (which is the only plant I've gotten to keep alive), many magazines, papers, pencils, pens ... In theory, the desk should be a place to study and to do the homework, but I never do it because there's no space. On the other side of the wall there is a library full of books. There are many books that I have had since I was a child because I've never wanted to throw them. Also there is where I keep my notes of the highschool and all the things I don't know where to put them. There are also some stuffed animals, and I would say what's my favourite but I can't.
Then there's my bed. It's metallic and black, nothing special. I use it to hang things wich I don't know where to put, like hats, scarves, belts ... On the bed there are two very comfortable pillows, although I'd like to have many more.
Beside the bed there's a bedside table with a lamp and many more things. That's where I put the cell that I use as a clock all the mornings.
And I can only say that a little further down there's the mini hi-fi, which I use to listen to music and you can also watch TV. There's also the electric guitar with amplifier, so important to me.
The walls are full of posters, drawings, a T-shirt, a coke sign...The last wall is a window with orange curtains.

Adrian Mole & Thirteen
If I think about the lives of Tracy and Adrian, I can say that they haven’t got similar lives. Adrian lives a living more infant, I think he’s very hypochondriac, he cares about nothing. He has got typical problems of teenagers but it’s not very serious, however his family is a little bit chaotic, like Tracy. But Tracy is more radical, she becomes a rebel and provocative stupid girl. I think Tracy has got an inferiority complex, she doesn’t have really an own personality, so she has to be like popular girls in her high school, because she thinks it’s cool. I think it’s the worst mistake she can do. She waives her personality just to impress other guys or girls, and that hurts her family and herself. She isn’t aware of the consequences. I think the problem is not her mum or her dad, I think she has a problem with herself, but it’s still worse when appears Evie. Evie teaches her everything, is her example, her icon to imitate. Moreover, Evie is such a fake friend, she blame Tracy for everything that happens. Because of wanting to be something that’s not, she is left alone, lost herself. Those are the consequences.

Introducing myself
Well I’m trying to introduce myself by an original way although I think it’s a little bit difficult. My parents have no imagination, and they decided to put me a very "original" name, Anna. Already 16 years ago I left the belly of my mother, an August 18, 1992. I have lived in four different places, the last has been Castelló. I like to travel and I hope to take an Interrail and go around Europe with my friends, that’s one of my dreams, besides travel to California. I also enjoy a lot listening to music, and now finally I’m going to buy a guitar that I'm pursuing a long time ago, and I don't have much more to say..
Bye!
Anna.
Bye!
Anna.

HORROR STORY
It happened long time ago, I don't remember it clearly. Evidently it was in the night, I was in my house, eating a very delicious pizza. I used to eat pizza every day for dinner until my doctor said me that I should eat more healthy food. My dog was lurking for a piece of pizza, and I gave it to him, then it stuffed itself and it went to my bedroom, like every night. While I was having dinner I was watching the TV, and I saw a news that frightened me. The news said that a very dangerous killer psychopath who was absolutely mad, had escaped from prison and he was in my neighborhood. He was called " The chameleon". I felt very frightened and I locked up the door. After a little while I felt very tired and I decided to go to bed, when I entered at the room I didn't see my dog, but I supposed that it was under my bed, it used to do it every night. When I was about to fall asleep, I noticed that something was licking my feet, and I suposed that it was my dog, it always did dit. After one while I heard thunders, it was beginning a storm. Suddenly, I heard a very loud and characteristic bark: My dog's bark. I watched trough the window, and my dog was there, in front of the door, waiting to enter! I couldn’t believe that! This couldn’t be happening! I felt a shiver when I wondered: who was licking my feet? I looked fast under the bed: nothing. I returned to look: without nothing nor nobody. I thought that I would faint, my mind was completely blocked. I returned to look trough the window. A strange form was moving away among the rain...
The End.
The End.
