The things they used to say...

Every day after school I was eating sweets. I loved sweets! But my mother said to me that if I ate a lot of sweets my teeth would fall. After that I never ate sweets anymore.
Also, my mum said that if I drank a lot of water I would have frogs in my belly.

A diary entry

One of my friends stole a CD from the shop. The police interviewed him and he lied to them. He said that he had been with me in my house. I have also lied to my parents to protect him. Unfortunately, a security video from the shop shows him very clearly.

Alex stole the CD because Alex’s friends and made a bet one day. He said that if he loses the football bet, he stole a CD from de shop of the city.

I know that my friend was wrong because he stole an object from the shop. I think it is a very stupid action to steal anything. I lied to my parents to protect him because he is my friend. I didn’t want anything bad for him. But, now I know that laying is not a good idea to help my friend.

2nd term personal reflection

In the 2nd term I learned a lot of things. Everyday that passes I learned something. English is not my language and always learn vocabulary or pronunciation. For example in my last presentation I learned a lot of vocabulary, and during the term I wrote a lot of writings and now I have more practice to do it. I think is important to record ours dialogues because my pronunciation is not very well I'm embarrassing to listen to me. In this last term I site next to Adam and he helps me with English. Thank you Adam!
I think that is important to say that the portfolio is a good idea to organize our English task. All in all, the portfolio is funny!

What is it talk about? THE OSCAR

The statuette is called Oscar because the most popular story is that Margaret Herrick, librarian and director of the Academy, after looking at the statuettes exclaimed: "it looks like just like my Uncle Oscar.” The meaning of Oscar is a Sir holding a Crusader’s sword, standing on film reel with five spokes.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established in May 1927 as a non-profit corporation to promote the art of movie making.The first Awards were in 1929 and were presented at a private dinner in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with 250 people.

Oscar suffer changes during the years. At first the Oscars’ ceremony awarded the better actors and actress of the moment. A few years later, Oscars awarded the overproductions of Hollywood. And, in the actually the cinema is based with marketing and money has more importance.


Woody Allen's opinion is very important for the cinemas world because he is a famous film director and he has total creative control. Woody says: "I would like that the prizes represent something, but unfortunately the way which they organized it, I don’t believe that it serve for much."
