FINAL REFLECTON

Hi everyone! 
Today I will post my last work on this blog. And it's my final reflection. My final reflection about the evolution of my English these last 3 years, in which I was been doing this blog. 
In my opinion I increase a lot my English level these last 3 years, not only doing the blog, the thing that makes me increase is my ex-boyfriend, because he’s English, and I listen English and I talk in English when I were at his house, so it helps me a lot with English, and for this reason I want to say thanks to him.
But the blog helps me a lot too, it makes me do the compositions, and improve my level of writing. I read some of my first posts and they are horrible, very shorts and wrong. But the ones that I did at 1st of BATX, one year ago, are better than the ones that I did this year. That’s because last year I had more time and I was more inspired. My English level improve a lot since 4th ESO to 1st BATX, and this 2nd year of BATX I just keep the level, since three months ago, when I break up with my English boyfriend, and for this reason I lost a lot. And probably my level now will go down, but I do the possible to keep a bit. And of course, with the boyfriend I improve a lot the pronunciation and fluency, and with the blog I improve the language. So, my first oral presentation, at 4th ESO was a shit, and the others that I did, at 1st of BATX are much better. In 2nd BATX my presentations wasn’t very good, because of time, I need more time to do a good presentation... So probably my best was in 1st BATX.
So, finally, my conclusion is that had an English boyfriend and do the blog is a good combination to increase the English level, and in my case, I improve a lot to 4th ESO to 1st BATX, and this last year, in 2nd BATX I just try to keep the level, but that’s because of the time.
I don't know what else I can say... I guess that I repeat a lot... But it's just these: Blog, boyfriend and the last 3 years. 

And I just want to add: Thanks Montse for doing these last English classes less bored and make English more interesting with your way to teach English.

Can we make Human Rights more relevant in the world today?

I think that we could do it. And I guess that a lot of people do it, but maybe it doesn't works because people use social networks  for entertainment, as a break, a moment of relax, to disconnect from responsabilities and homework, work or whatever. Also, it's true that a lot of people use it for their work, because it's a good way to keep contact in business for example, but you know what I mean, when people use some social network they don't want to find advertising about global problems, people prefer to see positive and happy things. 

But, on the other hand, it could be a good way to make people aware about these global problems. Maybe with this way people will start to be more informed about these problems and how we can fix them. And maybe, they would do something then. 

So yes, I think it could be a good way, take away what people want to see on social networks, our planet is more important. 

FORMAL LETTER

Meritxell JuliĆ  Fornells
Spain
Empuribrava, 17487 (Girona)

Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) 
Palais des Nations 
CH-1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland



Dear UN Human Rights Committee, 
Let me begin saying why I'm writting this letter. Since I was little I have seen how humans destroy our planet, with global warming, contamination, etc. There are lots of movements to stop it, but we need more. More movements, more organizations and more rules for citizens, if the majority of people still contamine these little organizations are useless. And if government applies some rules and obligations, like state tax, maybe people will start to do something useful.
I hope that you will be able to take this into mind. Thanks a lot for your time. 
Respectfully yours, 

Meritxell JuliĆ

Is it possible to live without computers nowadays?

Of course it is possible, but very difficult too. We usally use computers at some point of the day, because they are very useful and they can make our life easier. But, can we be without computers now?

I think that it's possible, of course, at the beginning it will be very difficult, but it's all about getting used to it. We used to be without computers and we could survive. We could get information in libraries, keep the contact with people will be very complicated, or impossible, but it isn't necessary, we can survive, and maybe it could be better, because for breaks-ups with boyfriends or girlfriends will be easier forget him/her. 

It's true that things like important works and also keeping the control of big machines could be complicated... But people did it some time ago... So, we can do it again. 

Marriage is in crisis? Are you in favour or against?

In my opinion marriage isn't in crisis. Marriage has allways been in crisis and a bad idea. But, some years ago, the option of divorce didn't exist, but now it does and it has been icreasing these last years. 

So, 100 years ago divorce wasn't very common, beacuse religion wasn't in favour of divorce, and everybody was catholic or something. So, divorce wasn't an option. And now, we have evolved and divorce is an option, we aren't religious now, and we can do it. 

Love is complicated. When you marry someone it's beacuse you love him/her, but probably can't be with this person all your life, it's sad, but true. And when the love is over, you will get divorced. Maybe it's very stupid, but humans are stupid when they fall in love.

Are love-locks romantic or a menace?

In my opinion love-locks are a very romantic act, and I think that's very cute go with your girlfriend or boyfriend and put a lock on a bridge or something, it looks very romantic. But, does this act mean something really?

It's just a sybol, put a lock doesn't mean that you love more or less sombody, you can do it, beacuse it's cute, and if your boy or girl is very romantic, you can do it to impress her/him, or just because you want to show and demostrate your love with this act, and be romantic for a day. In theory this act represents the eternity love, but that's false, beacuse love isn't for eternity for everybody. 

And it's true that this act and to see all the locks on the bridge is very nice. 


TOXIC FRIEND RUINING MY LIFE

Hey mate, 
I'm writting this letter to you because I think that you aren't good for me. I was observing our friendship these lasts days, because I started to feel bad with you, and I arrived to the conclusion that it's your fault. 

So, you aren't a good friend, you aren't a friend really. Our relationship is very toxic. I do a lot of things for you, to make this relation possible and easier, but you do the opposite. For example, everytime when you have a problem I used to be there, helping you and supporting you. Doing my best. And you? What you do when I have a problem? You aren't there. And that's not because you're busy, you have no intentions in helping. And your opinions? All you say to me are bad things! All I do is bad, all I wear is horrible... 

And sorry mate, but I'm just fed up, I prefer to stop, because you are the problem of my life. 

LEARNING ENGLISH MY WAY

I think that the most important fact is that you like learning languages and the language that you're learning. And the second one most important thing is that you aren't learning the lenguage obligatorily. It's better and easier when you learn because you want to learn. 

For example, in the school you are obligated to learn a forgein language, English in my case, and I'm lucky, because I like it and I want to learn English, but somebody that doesn't like Englich and he/she is forced to learn, he/she never learns really. 

And the best way, without doubt to learn any language isn't with a teacher, it's going to the conutry where this language is used, and speak with people, be there some days, months or years, if you can.
