FINAL REFLECTION

1. Can you see an improvement on your level of English in these last two years? 
Where, for example?
Yes, because when I started my were very shorts and simple vocabulary. For example, in my first post in the blog that it was in October on 2012.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English? 
I think that the post that I show my best level of English is this, because I show all, like my pronunciation, my languaje and more things. 

3. Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why? 
I think that the usful to improve your English are the news, because you learn a lot summarize the newas and doing your opinion. I say that because is the part of my blog that is more difficul for me. 

4. Which activities did you not find useful to learn English? Why not? 
In my point of view, all what we do in class is useful but I think that the traduction of the songs is less useful, because is very tiresome, but yo can know what the song say. 

5. Which activities would like to do again next year to keep on improving your English? 
I think the your-says because you explain what you like and you have more inspiration, because you like the topic. 

6. Open Comments (...More ideas, suggestions for activities, suggestion for new topics...)
I think that we have to talk more in class for improve our pronunciation.

WILL APPLE'S IPHONE 6 HAVE A LONG BATTERY LIFE? IOS 8 FEATURE COULD MAKE IT THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT HANDSET YET

Apple desing a new model of Iphone, that could finally Apple's battery woes
The news informations of the Iphone 6 will have arounded, thinner design and a larger screen. It could also feature a protruding camera, and boast new filters. 
The application makes the  power-saving changes, because now the battery of the Iphone is very bad. It also decrease the amount of power for use the phone more time.  

I think that it's going to be a big change of the tecnology, because we can use the phone all the day. But it can perjudice in the others phone companyes because all the people want to have the best phone if they can have.

HOLLYWOOD'S $8000 FACIAL: THE SECRET TO ANGELINA JOLIE'S GLOWING SKIN COMBINES MICRODERMABRASION, LASER AND A PEEL

Why Angelina Jolie seems that doesn't  have aged in years?
The Us Weekly (a magazine) says that she do an $800 treatment called the Triad facial,  which combines microdermabrasion, laser and a glycoloic peel. 
Angelina no is the only celebrity which use this treatment, also Naomi Watts, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz. Jolie stared doing the Triad facial in 2010. Also she use other products for the skincare, which range in price from $52 to $165. 
The treatment can cost between $800 and $1200 depending on the type

In my point of view, it's normal that all the celebrities deal her skin, because they have to be on TV every day, so they have to be beautiful with themselves. 




BAD NEIGHBOURS

Last week, my friends and I went to the cinema to saw the premier of the new film of Zac Efron.

The film is about a happy family which they have a baby and they live in a good neighborhood, but one day appear a brotherhood and all the problems appear. The new guests do all the nights parties and what they want. So the family have to survive with this problems and they survive. 


I like this film but I thought it would be better. Also, I really like the character Zac Efron, that he appears in High School Musical (as a Troy Boltton).





"WE'LL BE HAPPIER IF WE WORK FEWER HOURS AND HAVE MORE FREE TIME. WE'LL SOCIALIZE MORE AND CAN DO WITHOUT PILES OF CONSUMER GOODS THAT WE HAVE NO NEED FOR"

Nowadays, a lot of people are saying that we are going to be happier if we do not go shopping. But, it is true? In my opinion it is true. 

Firstly, I feel that working less hours can be a big change, for all of us, because we can spend more time with our family or socialize withe other people. 
Secondly, the society is focus only to producemore and more to earn more money to consume and they think that are going to be happier, but in my point of view, it is a wrong mentality. We can be happier without all the goods, because we have things that we do not use. 

In conclusion, society is buying more stuff that they do not need and they are working a lot without free time to have fun.

All the girls like  to put fragrance in the morning, but in the lunchtime we don't have the fragrance. So, a jewellery invent a news jewels, a set of pendants and  bracelets that emit fragrance. This moderns jewels have a mini perfume bottle  that can be detached from the chain and used in the same way as a roll-on scent.
OBO, the new jewels, are a foolproof, it has been a series of tests to rule out embarrassing spillages.

Also, it has been a tests for make sure that it has the same results  as a classic pump dispenser. 
The Obo will costs between £49 and £57.

I think that is a big idea, because it's going to be very useful for all the girls because anyone like to take away her bottle of fragrance.
