Courageous creations

This article talks about the female photographer Lee Miller and about her pictures, which are on show in Barcelona until April 22.
Miller was multifaced and multitalented. She started working as a model for the magazine "Vogue", but in 1929 she met the photographer Man Ray in Paris, who had a lot of influence in her work and who actually brought her to photography.
Planty of the photographs which are shown in the exhibition were discovered after Miller's death, stored in boxes in the attic of her house.
The exhibition is divided into four sections and one of them shows the pictures Miller took during the Second World War, basically of the several destructions. This photographer was also famous for her photos of Pablo Picasso, Antoni Tàpies, Joan Miró, Charlie Chaplin and Marlène Dietrich.

News Article I

Good people of Spain vote to dance the "Chiki-chiki"

This article talks about the man who is going to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrad, Serbia, on the 24th May this year. The man is called Rodolfo Chikilicuatre and he is actually known thanks to the late night comedy show called Buenafuente. His song is called "Baila el chiki-chiki" ('Dance the chiki-chiki') and it splits society. Some people think that the song contest is getting every year weirder, so the "chiki-chiki" might have success. But others think that he will be an embarrassement for Spain.

Oral Presentation 2nd Term: My Research Project

This is the second oral presentation I did this year. I talked about my research project called "The Holy Grail - from its origins to the present". I hope you like it ;-)

Visit from Belfast!

Hi!
In this post I'm going to explain Sarah Hannity's visit a few weeks ago. Sarah is one of Annika's friends, and she's Irish. She did a kind of oral presentation about herself, her interests, the degree she's taking, her country, and so on. I think it was very nice to listen to an Irish accent like the one she had, because, in fact, it is quite different to the normal british english we learn at school. I'm sure it was very useful, mostly because it helped to see if we were able to understand a different accent.
So, thank you for organizing this!

Description of a place

I still remember the place were my grandparents lived ten years ago and I still remember the feeling I got everytime I went there. It was not only this beautiful old house or its big green garden. No, it was also the forest right beside the building; a magical place which I surely never forget.
This forest was not a usual one at all; for me it was MY forest, MY place were I could disconnect from everything and where I could feel free. I remember that I always felt like I was in the middle of a fairytale while I walked through the trees, listening to the silent sound of a summer brise and hearing the birds singing happily during nearly the whole day. The air was full of the smell of nature, of trees and leaves which were just fallen down on the ground.
One of the best things of the forest was the area in front of it: a quite large zone covered nearly completely with grass, where, only in some seasons, the moles looked out of their holes. Right behind this area was the place where I nearly always used to enter the wood. Once you have passed the first trees you start to notice how the light slowly gets darker, although you still can see the colourful leaves of the trees and the brown tones of the normally wet ground. If you are lucky, you can see rabbits or foxes coming out of their warren. I always used to watch them, hidden behin a tree, while they were looking for food.

A few years ago people started constructing new houses there, to make the small village, where once my grandparents lived, bigger.
The birds have flown away, searching a new home. The forest has now disappeared, and all its magic with it.

Should we do the research-project in Batxillerat?

Stress, work, hundreds of papares, books, information, meeting your teacher at break time, running up and down with your work trying to get the missing information information... These and more are the typical skills of a Batxillerat student in Catalonia between the first and second year, the skills of people who are doing the well-known research paper. Many students aks themselves: "Is it really necessary to do it? Isn't it unfair that Catalonia is the only part of Spain where this muste be done?

From my point of view, the research paper is a very interesting work which can also bring you many advantatges for your future. On the one hand, doing a research project, as we do, is definitely something which you only do once in life. Doing all this process of looking up information, reading about something you like and about what you want to know more is an incredible experience and can, as I said before, bring you many advantatges.

The only problem: time! It is obvious that second batxillerat students have more difficult and complicated exams and that they hardly can find time to do everything. Furthermore, it is completely unfair, in my opinion, that only us, from Catalonia, have to do this amount of work, while people from other parts of Spain can concentrate themselves on their exams. What's more, it is a fact that these students have one subject less than us, minimum!

Nonetheless, it is important to say that research paper tutors are normally very strict and want their poupils do as much as possible. In my experience, sometimes tutors do not really care about the time you have and they only want you to finish as soon as possible.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that second Batxillerat students should not do the research project, even if it is very interesting and makes you learn a lot. It is just too much to do in the time they give us, basically because we have got enough work by preparing our exams and because, of course, we need a minimum of free-time.
