Recording a narration in Movie Maker

2010-05-11T03:53:00.000-07:00

Movie Maker makes it really easy to record a voice narration over your movie. The program even has a built-in recording wizard that allows you to record over a microphone while you watch a preview of your movie.

This feature is very useful, and allows you to quickly narrate descriptive videos. For example, if you are selling a house, you could film all the rooms and later record a running commentary to go with it.

Another great use for a voice track is in creating picture slideshows. You could take pictures from your digital camera, lay them on the MovieMaker timeline, and then record a narration for your “slideshow!”
To use this function, you’re going to need a microphone.

To use the voice track wizard, simply press the “Narrate timeline” button located to the left of the timeline. When you click this button, the narration wizard will pop-up and give you some recording options. Most of these are pretty obvious … you can click “show more options” to see more recording choices.

You’ll need to pick your recording device (your sound card) and plug a microphone into your computer’s microphone-in jack.

Opinion about a travel

2010-05-10T10:32:00.000-07:00

Hi, better late than never :)
I divide my opinion about Madrid in three paragraphs.

Academic part: In this travel I have known many places where I enjoyed a lot. I like museums and you can learn several things there (better with guide). We had to make an oral presentation in a high school in Alcala de Henares and it was interesting. Luckly, it was in Spanish, but we´d have said it in English too if required.

Social part: There were another classes of another high school there and we have met they all, it was very funny!

Cultural part: In my case, that was my first travel to the peninsula. And I have realized that my town in Gran Canaria is such small. The huge buildings are beautiful, highly decorated.And such large roads too. I was amazed!
Alcala de Henares has a rich history, like Cervantes´house. As it is here Vegueta.
There are many kiosks, but trade is basically the same as here.
I have come to the conclusion that I want to return there and may be live for a year. The worst thing that could happen to me,is to get lost in the underground. But the tube is so cool!!!
I can´t wait to Great Britain :D

Hello, I`m Kira, and I`m going to speak about the trip in Madrid, Tuesday morning we went to Alcala de Henares school and we did e presentations about the millennium development goals. I think that it was very good, but we was very nervous. I have to say that somethings we had to do very quicly, but finally, it was right. Maybe we would learn a litle bit more. I thin that black theathre was more less, because, we can´t do much more, because the conditions was wrong.
I love Madrid, it is very beautiful and ancient, I think that in the future I will go to study there. We saw very interesting places, and it was very very entertained. And we learned a little bit more of spanish culture and history.
We met many people, the mayority from Canarias like us, but many of their are now our friends, and I think that people in Alcala de henares are going to be ours friends to, when they come here.
I had one of the best experiences in my live. I learn many things, but not only culture. Human things and I very proud of us, because we did thing well

MaDriD =)

2010-04-26T13:43:00.000-07:00

My Opinion of Madrid's Trip

I'm going to speak about three parts:

1-Academic part: I think that we worked a lot and we did the presentations very well, I puted very nervous but I could finish my part. The high school of the Rincon couldn't do all the presentations because they had problems with the computer or something similar.

Our black theatre representation was quite well apart from the problems that we had with the floor, the music...

2-Cultural part: We visited a lot of importants places, museums... and I learned a lot of culture.

Now I don't want to visit a museum for a long time. XD

3-Social part: I met a lot of people an I felt very confident with you.

IT WAS GREAT, MAGNIFIC...

I never forget this stupendic trip and the magnific people tha you are. (Kisses)

Now I am going to explain my opinion about the city and the people we met in madrid !
I really liked Alcalá de Henares, it is very beautiful and we could see storks on the top of some cathedrals !! I liked the underground too, because it's faster than other transports and for me was funny entered to it very quickly every days although I feel scared too because I was always thinking " Saray you will stay in the station because you are slow ! hahahaha
And with my partners... I haven't words for you ! You made me happy every days but two weeks ago in Madrid, you were like my family and I liked too much live with all of you ! We were always laughing and laughing . I hope you never forget this trip because we are more united because of it ! Teachers ! hahaha I felt that I was with my parents all the week but with you were more funny !! thanks !!

I LOVE MY CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS!

2010-04-26T07:04:00.000-07:00

1.-Academic Part

About the presentations, I´m happy with our work.Among all the groups,in may opinion we were the work more prepared,although we didn´t have much time as others.

2.-Cultural Part

I like the cultural part,because we saw many monuments and also visited some well known places in Madrid.I like the places that we visited.

3.-Social Part

Apart from that we met many people,also we have improced our life together.

2010-04-21T13:08:00.000-07:00

Madrid is my opinion on that I liked did not want to go back to Gran Canaria I laughed a lot with my friends there was no fight and these are things that unite us more.
On to say that madrid is a beautiful city is very beautiful historical monuments and was an privilege to be there. Tired yet With could enjoy the best that I get is when I was in the main square, where we were in the kilometer 0 when I was in the metro. I felt a whole Madrid. the negative part is that people are not very pleasant.

Marina´s opinion!

2010-04-20T04:24:00.000-07:00

My Opinion of Madrid´s Trip

From my point of view, in the academic part, the presentations of I.E.S SCHAMANN was very good, because we worked very hard with it. We did a game of clean point , we did tripticos in English what it deal with millennium development goal and we did three presentation of three goal of millennium ( 1: Eradicate poverty and hunger , 2: Promote gender equality and empower women , 4:Reduce child mortality) Well , my opinion of the other groups are that its project wasn´t very work.

From my point of view, in the cultures part , we went to a beautiful and lovely place , such as the different side of Alcala de Henares etc. Them we went to three deferent museum : The first that we visited , was Prado museum , in it there were a lot of frame what were drawn by different artist , such as Goya , Velazquez etc. In this museum one girl explained as thing what artist wanted to show us. Them we went to Reina Sofia museum and we saw the “Guernica” by Picaso , that he wanted show one war what kill a lot of people. And in the end we went to wax museum , it was boring , because it haven’t a lot of famous .

From my point of view , in the part social, I didn’t know that I went to do a good friend there, Ricon´s pupils were very nice people.

The Millennium Development Goals

Eradicate extrem poverty and hunger

Intex

What are the Millenium Development Goals?
What is Poverty?
What is Hunger?
Which are the objectives to eradicate this problem?
Solutions

What are the Millennium Development Goals?

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight goals to be achieved by 2015 that respond to the world's main development challenges. The MDGs are drawn from the actions and targets contained in the Millennium Declaration that was adopted by 189 nations-and signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000.

What is Poverty?

Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, health care, clothin and shelter. And relative poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others. As:

1.200 million people live on less than one dollar a day.

28.000 children die from poverty related causes everyday.

More than 90% are suffering long-term malnourishment and micronutrient deficiency, because they don´t have nothing to eat, and in this world if there is no money, there is no food to eat.

What is Hunger?

We all know what hunger is. We recognize that feeling in our stomachs, and when we feel it, we don't usually have to much of a problem putting an end to it.

But for more than 850 million people, the hunger never ends and every 3,6 seconds one person dies of starvation.

Which are the objectives to eradicate this problem?

Reduce the poverty and hunger from those countries that hase less. As more than 900 million people live in extreme poverty, before, they were more.

Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day.

Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

Solutions

What can be done by Government to eradicate poverty and hunger

Did you know that natural disasters and armed conflicts are affecting between 5% and 10% of hungry people worldwide. At present, there is a technology and food production capacity enouhg for all people. But the really problem is in the access and distribution of weakth, resources, markets and knowledge. The governments should provide more facilities for those countries whitout a charge, because these places have a large external debt, and after a natural disaster or armed conflict they became poorer; like in Haiti or Afghanistan. And there are many NGOs they can work with.

What can common people do?

We can:

Sponsor a child
Don't throw Food
Don't wasting money on nonsenses
Help NGOs

We know what is really happening and if we do a hard effort, if all of us do a hard effort, the Millennium Development Goals could be achieve.

Millennium Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. They include reducing extreme poverty, reducing child mortalityrates, fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS, and developing a global partnership for development.

Background

In 2001, recognizing the need to assist impoverished nations more aggressively, UN member states adopted the targets. The MDGs aim to spur development by improving social and economic conditions in the world's poorest countries.

They derive from earlier international development targets, and were officially established at the Millennium Summit in 2000, where all world leaders present adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration, from which the eight goals were promoted.

Reduce child mortality

Target 5: Between 1990 and 2015, reduce the under-five mortality rate by two thirds.

Progress

In 2005, over 10 million children died before their fifth birthday. Although a significant number of countries have succeeded in improving the health and wellbeing of babies and children in recent years – the countries with the highest burdens have made the least progress and in some the situation has actually worsened. Progress is increasingly uneven, leaving large disparities between countries as well as between sub-groups within countries.

Unless efforts are increased, there is little hope of eliminating avoidable child deaths. If current trends continue, the MDG will not be achieved until 2045 – 30 years late.

Around 400 million children have no access to safe water. Some 1.4 million children every year - and 3,900 children every day - die because they lack access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.

Problems

The health and well-being of women and their children are completely linked. There is a strong consensus that maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) programmes will only be effective if there is a continuum of care, from pregnancy through childbirth into childhood.
Of the four million babies that die each year in the first 4 weeks of life (neonatal period), nearly three quarters could be prevented if women were adequately nourished and received appropriate care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period.
Most deaths to children under five years are attributable to acute respiratory infections (mostly pneumonia), diarrhoea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS and neonatal conditions
HIV/AIDS is a huge and growing problem for children. In 2006, the estimated number of children under 15 years old living with HIV was 2.3 million – 87% of whom are in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2010, the figure is likely to rise to more than 20 million.

Malnutrition increases the risk of dying from these diseases and over half of all child deaths occur in children who are underweight.

Malaria is a major cause of anaemia in pregnant women and children

Millennium Development Goals

Target 3

What are the Millenium Development Goals?

They are 8 targets supposed to be achieved in 2015

Did you Know?

*Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world, 70% are women.

*Women do about 66% of the world´s work in return for less than 5% of its income

*In the least developed countries nearly twice as many women over age 15 are illiterate compared to men.

*Two-thirds of children denied primary education are girls,and 75% of the world´s 876 million illiterate adults are women.

*Women work two-thirds of the world´s working hours, produce half of the world´s food, and yet earn only 10% of the world´s income and own less than 1% of the world´s property.

GOAL 3

Every singlegoal is directly related to women´s roghts, and societies were women are not afford equal rights as men can never achieve development in a sustainable manner.

*Freedom.Men and women have the right to live their lives and rises their children in dignity, free frem hunger and from the fear of vialonce, oppresion or injustice. Democratic and participatory governance based on the will of the people best assured these rights. The equal rights and opportunities of women and men must be assured.

121 million children are not in school, most of them girls. If a family can afford school fees for only one child, it will likely be a boy who attends.

While most of the Millennium Development Goals face a deadline of 2015, the gender parity target was set to be achieved ten years earlier.

The percentage of women in parliaments has increased in the last decade, but regional averages are all below 20%, with the exception of developed countries.

Problems

One of the problems of frteedom is that girls still wait for equal primary school access in some regions.

All people must have the sames rights.

Solutions

*Eliminated gender disparity in primary and secondary education and at all levels.

*Poverty has a woman´s face. Global prosperity and peace will only be achieved once all the world´s people are empowered to order their own lives and provide for themselves and their families.

#2 Achieving Universal Primary School

2010-03-05T10:43:00.000-08:00

WHAT ARE MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS?
The millenium development goals are eight international development goals that 192 United Nations member states and a least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015
WHAT ARE THE GOALS?
1-Reducing Extreme Poverty and Hunger
2-Achieve Universal Primary School
3-Promode Gender Equality and Empower Women
4-Reduce Child Mortality
5-Improve Maternal Health
6-Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases
7-Ensure Environmental Sustainability
8-Global Partnership for Development
ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY SCHOOL
Every human being shaved have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves.Unfortunately, too many children in the world today, grow up without this chance, because the are denied their basic right to even attend primary school
A sustanaible end to world poverty as we know it , as well as the path to peace and security, require that cities in every country are empowered to make positive choices and provide for themselves and their families.
PROBLEMS
-Since 1990 the countries of the world have called for all children be able to complete primary school and the majority of them are grils.121 million childre are out of school, 65 million girls and 56 million boys.
-There are 693 million primary aged children enrolled in school but there are still around 72 million primary aged children who aren't enrolled in school.
-A few countries remain off track and unlikely to reach the target of education for all by 2015.
SOLUTIONS-Educating girls and women has particular benefits for the health and prosperity of developing countries.
-Aloud the girls in school but the education must be free
-Change the laws of some countries wich denied the education for girls.
-Make new materials schools and build places for children to study
*In many areas of the world more than 90% of all children complete primary school. In the Middle East,Africa and South Asia are lower but have improved since 1990.However well countries are still illiterate

Ensure environmental sustainability

2010-03-05T10:31:00.000-08:00

MDGs
The Millenium Development Goals are 8 international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 International organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015.

This are the 8 Millenium Development Goals:

- Eradicate extreme proverty and hunger.
-Achieve universal primary education.
-Promote gender equality and empower women.
-Reduce child mortality.
Improve maternal health.
-Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
-Ensure environmental sustainability.
-Develop a global partner ship for development.

In this proyect you will learn wich is the seventh goal and our own solutions :

ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.

Sustainable development can be ensured only by protecting the environment and using it resources wisely. Poor people often dependent on natural resources for their livelihood, are the most affected by environmental degradation and natural disasters, the effects wich are worsened by environmental mismanagement.
Althought many contries have adopted principles of sustainable development and agreed to international accords on protecting the environment, land is still being degraded. Forests are being more lost and fisheries overused, plant and animal species are becoming extinct, and carbon emissions are leading to climate change.
Rich and poor contries alike have a stake in using environmental resources wisely.Good policies and economic growth, which improve people's life, can improve the environment.
The MDGs also call for improvements in the built environment. The world may achieve the target for access to water services , but improvement in basic sanitation services has been slow, and slums are growing as more people move into urbans areas.

OUR OWN SOLUTIONS

We must be aware about this problem, because we are the future of this society.If we try to find some solutions for this goal our descendents will be thankful.
We can do a lot of things to ensure the environment and we can change things too, for example.

-Some of us one used to spend half an hour or ah hour in the shower, and it isn't necessary , If we use the water responsibly we will have this resource for a long time.
-Reduce the amount of electricity used in our houses, because this electricity can be used in poor contries.
-We must use more public transport because the cars CO2 emissions are destroying the ozone layer.
-If we want the MDGs to be achieved we can do some demonstrations to demand governaments' urget measures.
-Decrease housing shortage, in the poorest cities and build houses for their habintants.

THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

2010-02-08T13:26:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody,
Here are the links and other resources I told you about at school this morning. I hope you´ll find them useful to work on the goal you have been assigned. I suggest that you watch the videos several times and try to understand as much as possible. I´m sure you´ll come up with some good ideas of your own to carry out this project. Provided that you do your best, your work will result in a beautiful school project to remember for years. Remember that you´ll have to do an oral presentation as well as a written piece of work or a three-page leaflet.
Don´t worry about giving too many details. Stress only on the relevant facts and think about the actions that must be taken to find a solution to the problem. Are you willing to collaborate to create a better world? Can you think of any ideas to achieve this goal?. How about writing letters to the Presidents of the Developed Countries asking them to take urgent measures to put an end
to discrimination, poverty, hunger etc ?.
There are some other ideas in the links below. The sooner you´ll get down to work on this task, the better. The deadline for this project will be on March 5th and the oral presentations will start on Monday 8th March.
See you all at school tomorrow. Sweet dreams,
Lucy

YOUR JOURNAL

2009-11-02T14:50:00.000-08:00

"Many of us today realize the healthy benefits of tuning into ourselves, paying attention to our needs and listening to our intuition. As we listen to ourselves we begin to hear our inner"magic" emerge."
Journal Writing is an innocent and gentle process that has been around for centuries. It is a Powerful tool for personal growth and personal healing. It helps people discover and utilize their greatest gifts & hidden resources; it provides a way to mirror the processes by which they become dynamic and develop themselves -- what concerns students here is mainly "Communicating in English", Encouraging Creativity, & Practising Writing and all of the concomitant thinking skills that underlie writing.
Unfortunately, writing a journal is not as easy a task as it might seem. Our culture is so externally oriented that it is really difficult to stop, shift gears and listen to our inner selves. We have good intentions but find it difficult to turn off the TV or radio, let go of the telephone and sit in the quiet "chamber" of ourselves. The trip inward can be extraordinarily rewarding-once we have begun, since, let's face it, it is the beginning that is so difficult.
So often, when we sit down to do journal writing, we are caught up in our left brain responsibilities and may have a hard time switching gears. What we need to do is breathe deeply and begin to release whatever we have been attached to--to begin to listen to that still small voice within. Some people can do this with relative ease, but others find it difficult ... they often don't know what to write about.

What should you do if you don't know what to write about?

1- You can write about the themes you are studying at school => Your Analysis of facts, situations, what you would do if you were in ... shoes,what should be done to avoid ....... / to improve ...... / to make up for ......

2- You can glue on the inside front cover a list of possible topics you havecollected ourselves (quotes, proverbs ...), so if you run out of ideas you have a list to consult.

3- You can collect some texts that inspire you a lot, and when in need, you use them.

4- You can also use the additional handouts given by your teacher.

5- You can comment on the songs studied and movies seen.

6- You can comment on whatever is going on around you: at school, at home, with a friend, in Lebanon, in the world ....

7- You can write about & interpret (or at least try to) your dreams.

8- You can collect poems, ads, photos, or newspaper clippings (interestingones), paste them in your journal and give your opinion about them.

9- You can write a list of advice you would give to your friend, teacher, parents, supervisor, principal ......

10-You can write about many different areas including personal relationships, career and special interests, body and health, and meaning in life.

Note: It is much better to match the topic of the entry with the theme being studied.

Setting up your Journal:

- Decide what you'd like your journal to look like. Give your journal a title. The title will be the first really creative thing you'll do with your journal, so make your title witty, unusual, thought provoking. - Decorate the cover of your journal. You could sketch on the cover, paste on an advertisement or a photo, or write your favorite quotes on it.

Don't forget to:

- Bring your journal with you to class every week. Your teacher might read one of your entries to the whole class (after having had your permission of course). - Write the date & time whenever you make an entry. Make a List of the entries at the end of the month (on a separate sheet on your journal), for the teacher to see and put a grade.
- Be Creative!!

" If we are committed to growth, we should discover and utilize our inner gifts, then we should move beyond our internal critics, move past the darkness inherent in our life and move into our power, meaning, and joy. We should implement this process of opening to ourselves. As we grow in our openness to love and to being loved, we heal...and as we heal, everyone is benefited."

Common file format

2009-10-16T05:14:00.000-07:00

File format

Images can be saved in a variety of file formats. Different file formats exist because some are better at certain tasks than others. Some file formats are associated with specific software programs. For example, Adobe Photoshop's file format is .PSD.

However, graphics packages also allow the user to save their work in compatible file formats that can be used in a variety of software programs - eg .JPG, .GIF, .TIFF. Most digital cameras automatically save photographs as .JPG and these can be used in a variety of graphics packages.

____________________________________________________________________

Answer the following questions. You can get the information you need through this link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/dida/graphics/selectingrev7.shtml

1.- What are the main characteristics of the three formats: JPG, GIF, BMP?
2.- What are they used for?
3.- Compare the three formats.
4.- Which has a bigger size?

Should the morning-after pill be banned?

2009-10-06T01:43:00.000-07:00

CONS

Emergency contraceptive pills can have serious, harmful side-effects including nausea, vomiting, infertility, breast tenderness, ectopic pregnancy and blood clot formation. Nobody knows the long-term effects.

Emergency contraception is a form of abortion. It works by preventing a fertilised egg and a fertilised egg is a human being, because it contains within itself all that is necessary for a child to develop. Therefore it could be considered as murder.

Should the morning-after pill be banned?

2009-10-06T01:39:00.000-07:00

PROS

Whether intentionally or not, people do sometimes have unprotected sex without wanting to get pregnant. When this happens, emergency contraception allows women to ensure that they are not pregnant, without the stress and increased health risk caused by waiting until a pregnancy can be confirmed and then, if desired, having an abortion.

There are good reasons for making the morning-after pill a non-prescription drug. It can take time to get a prescription from a doctor, and in speed is very important in an emergency. Some patients may be embarrassed to tell their doctor about what they need, and so will not go to get a prescription.

Should the morning-after pill be banned?

2009-10-06T01:35:00.000-07:00

CONTEXT

Emergency contraception, often called the ‘morning-after pill’, reduces the chance of pregnancy following unprotected sexual intercourse. if taken within 72 hours they reduce the risk of pregnancy by between 75 and 89 percent. Emergency contraceptives such as Levonelle are legal in the US and UK; in the UK they can be bought over the counter from pharmacists by over-16s.

A debate on sport

2009-09-29T03:50:00.001-07:00

Pros

1.- Sport is a great way to stay fit and healthy. This is very important today as few people have jobs with physical labour and most of us travel everywhere by car. As a result many people are overweight and suffer poor health.

2. -Sport has lots of social benefits. Sports programmes can give people a positive purpose and something to do. Societies which practise sport have lower levels of crime.

A debate on sport

2009-09-29T03:49:00.001-07:00

Cons
1.- On the other hand, sport can actually be dangerous. Millions of people are hurt playing sport each year, some of them very seriously.

2.-Sport does teach children lessons, but not always good ones. Many children are not naturally talented and only come across failure and embarrassment on the sports field.

Here you´ll find some ideas for your presentations about plastics... . You can also take advantage of the vocabulary yoy learn!

Plastics materials

Everywhere you look you will find plastics.
We use plastic products to help make our lives cleaner, easier, safer and more enjoyable. You will find plastics in the clothes we wear, the houses we live in, and the cars we travel in. The toys we play with, the televisions we watch, the computers we use and the CDs we listen to contain plastics. Even the toothbrush you use every day contains plastics! For more examples on where you will find plastics, click here.

History of plastics
The history of plastics goes back more than 100 years. Compared to other materials however, plastics are a relatively modern.
View here a presentation of how plastics have developed over the last century.

If a mathematic were a ...

2009-05-08T08:09:00.000-07:00

If a mathematic were a animal,they would be a monkey , becaause both are so alike.These are alike ,because both had evolved with the pass of the year.
If a mathematic were a sound , they would be a sound that do the bird,because is natural .I´m thinking that the mathematic are natural.
If a mathematic were a colour, they would be a blue,because it is a colour that never ends like the sky.

If mathematics were a...

2009-05-07T00:28:00.000-07:00

If mathematics were a sound they would be the piano's sound.Because when you are playing the piano you need to be exactly in what you do.Another reason,because when you're working out any math's problem you need to be so concentrated the us when you are playing the piano.

If mathematics a colour they would be blue.Because all of my math's books,in the past and in the present, are bleu.Another reason is because in my math's notebook,I write every calculates with the blue pen.

If mathematics were an animal they would be a cat.Because you be too sure that you know to do any calculation but sometimes it catches you unawares, the same us a cat.

If matehematics were...

2009-05-06T15:52:00.000-07:00

If mathematics were an animal... they would be ... a LIZARD becouse my first book had a lizard in the title page.

If mathematics were a sound... they would be ... a classical music becouse I'm relaxed as maths and too concentrated as mathematics.

If mathematic were a colour... they would be ... a a blue colour becouse all muy books were blue.

If mathematics were...

2009-05-06T07:46:00.000-07:00

If mathematics were a sound, they would be classic music.Because this tupe of music is relaxing and If i study mathematics in this form, I will pass all terms in this year. And to make a composition or classic musics is dificult and the mathematics too.

If mathematics were and animal, the would be a dog. This is my pinion , because this animal is the best friend of the men and they are afectionate and the mathematicas would be easy.And to adriester a dog I needed pacience and the mathematics too. But a little effort all goes well

If mathematics were a colour, they would be red.Because this is the colour that represents the fires, it is like red fire and it turn of quickly sometimes and slow, others.And tith hep it can be completly and the mathematics too.

Math

2009-04-22T14:24:00.000-07:00

If math were a animal, they would be a duck because the duck have two paws and two wings, although the duck can't fly. Its hearing can be a sphere, the beak can be a triangle and the body can be a cylinder.
If math were a sound, they would be a classic music because in this type of music there is some sound and with this different sound you feel love, anguish, fear...This type of sensations is that I feel when I am doing an exercise.
If math were a colour, they would be red because when start the class I feel anguish but when I do a exercise and when I know how to do it, I love math!

Maths..!

2009-04-22T13:46:00.000-07:00

A Sound

If maths were a sound, they would be a clasisic music because the maths is relaxing how the classic music !

A Animal

If maths were a animal, they would be a parrot because the parrot is relaxing and repeat the same equal that maths !

A Colour

If maths were a colour, they would be a green because the colour green is hope equal to the maths !

If Mathematics were...

2009-04-22T12:34:00.000-07:00

A sound...
I think it would be Classical Music. Because it is relaxing and make me think about it.
But the best instrument would be the clarinet. Because the Maths and the music is in harmony, in peace.
As mathematics is an exact science, since it is always a balance, the other is complete, classical music, especially, is balanced. Moreover, the music was invented by Maths. Therefore, the classical music; and between the instruments, the clarinet, for its clear sound.

An animal...
They would be an elephant, because they are the biggest mammal in our planet and they are old, intelligent and never forget. And Maths is like that, big, old and clever.
Or an eagle, because they are very elegant and have a beautiful, fast flight.

A colour...
I think they would be all colours, but above all, white and green. White, because it representspeace and harmony, like Classical Music, and it is pure.
And green, because of the environment, because nature is wise. Many things are green, like plants, and all have their pros and their cons, their equilibrium.
But Maths has many faces, and they can be very different. They are like an adventure, you can´t improvise what is going to happen.

What does been in the proyect mean to me?

2009-03-29T16:38:00.000-07:00

To be in the proyect is something importat, because not all of the students have this opportunity, but sometimes I forget where I am. This will be very useful in our future. Because of that we must get used to speak a little more, without coyness.
In this three years I learned more than I thought I will. And I happy to be here. The most important thing in English is to speak, because that is what you are going to do one day you need; to communicate with people.
For those things I think it is worth to be here.

My presentation

2009-03-29T15:43:00.000-07:00

This is my presentation:

Hello! I´m Sonia. I am 14 years old, but my birthday is soon and I will have 15 years old. I live with my parents and my brother in Mariucha. I´m studying at Schamann High School. I want to go to the university and study Sciences.
When I was 8 years old, I went to Germany with my mother, but I don´t remember many things, but I remember that there was raining almost every day, in the afternoons, and at nights, there were many rays in the sky.
My brother and I want to learn Germany, but for me is too difficul. I haven´t spoken with my family yet. One of my hobbies is write stories and I love swim with a buggie and catch waves.
I don´t like so much do my homework or cleaning my room. And I am afraid of cockroaches.
Ine of my favourite programs is Bones. I must get used to study Sciences or at least ride my brother´s bike to do some exercise.
I would like be an antropologist, because I want to discover something important.
An anecdote was when my family and I went to Artenara to take photos... and then we entered in a restaurant to have lunch. And there was a little child that came behind me with a great smile, he gave myself a small pull in the hair and then he ran away very happy. It was graceful!
Finally, my wish is this:
I´m going to travel as many countries as I can during my life.
Nowadays I am so happy, moreover soon is Holy week!!
Thanks for all and goodbye!

Hello Everybody!!!

2009-03-27T05:13:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, it's Kathryn. Lucy has been kind enough to let me use her account to write to you all, hopefully soon I will have an account of my own so I can write more often. Next week I will be going back to England to visit my family, and the newest member of my family - my nephew, who is just a few days old. My sister will need lots of help, so I will probably spend all of my time helping her clean, cook, and of course - play with the baby!!! So for next week, good luck with your evaluations, for those of you who have done very well - CONGRATULATIONS and keep up the hard work. And for those of you who have not done as well as you wanted, don't give up and i'm sure you'll improve.

Finally, take a look at the link below, this is an aid for English people who want to learn Spanish, I'm sure you'll find it amusing.

Dear students,

I´m glad some of you have decided ( made up your minds) to write your presentations in the blog. I don´t mean to give you lectures all the time but, as you can see, today´s lecture has worked!. It´s very important that you devote some time to writing because this is the only way to improve your writing skill. I suggest that you read your presentations carefully and look for mistakes so that you can improve them next term. You must avoid translating from Spanish literally and stick to the English rules. Remember that English has its own structures and you must stick to them so as not to speak " Spanglish". Pay attention to word order, subject- verb agreement, verb tenses... . It is also important that you revise vocabulary and expressions and use varied language in your speeches. So far you´ve learnt a lot of vocabulary but you don´t put it into practice. How about having a look at your notebooks during the Easter holidays and brushing up on your English?. You´ll be surprised to see how much you have forgotten. Refresh your memories and bring English back. I realize that some of you will have to do an extra effort to catch up and bring your English up to date but it´s worth trying.

Many of you haven´t done your best this term but it´s no use crying over spilt milk, so do your best next term and prove that you really want to learn English.

That´s all for now. It´s late and

Good night,

Hello!!! I´m Kira

I don´t find any vantages yet, only a litle thing that I´m not very happy, but is it not so important.

Hello, my name is Ricardo i'm fiveteen years old, and i live in Las Palmas, in La Galera. I study in Schamann secondary school but i studied in García Escámez school. My hobbies are play football and table tennis.

My life in the present.

All the week (exept th weekend) i wake up in the morning at a quater to seven to go to the school (i hate do this) beacause i want to sleep a little bit. But i think that the solution of this problem is go to sleep earlier. Then i go to the school during six hours. Next i go to my house and i eat (my favorites foods are chips and fried eggs). I study and doing my homeworks about in two hours. Then while in have dinner i watch TV. And finally i go to sleep.
The weekend are so different... I wake up when i want: Then i do mi hobbies and i domy homeworks and study until the lunch time. In the lunch time i have lunch, of course and when i finish of have lunch i go to sleep. Next i do again my hobbies and the rest is similar to all the week.

My past.

When i was four years old my brother was born i out him Sergio. He was snub and thin and now is the same. And i remember last time that i went to León in the mainland, beacause i have family there, and i remeber the day that i went with my family to Las Médulas. There, in Las Médulas the romans found gold, but now at the present doesn't have any more.

My future.

In the future i will go to the university of Valladolid to study phsical therapist and i will travel out of the mailand beacause i haven't traveled out of the mailand never.

Conclution.

I love my life i love the people that love me and i wish that this people love me forever to.
Ricardo

The adventages of to be on the SBO are:

I think that if i was in other class i didn't learn the english that i know now.

Learn other subjects in english are very important.

Have a teacher of united kingdom like katherin are so important to beacause speak in english with a teacher that are not spanish is better to improve and to understand the coloquial english.

Thank you very much and bey!
