Review of a film: TITANIC

I'd like to recommend a film which I saw last Sunday, called “Titanic”. The director of the film is James Cameron. He is a Canadian film director.

The film is a romantic tragedy and the setting is a fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. The main characters are two members of the ship: Leonardo Dicaprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose. They are members of different social classes who fall in love during the trip.

The things I like the most about the film were one of the characters and the relationship between Jack and Rose. Some of the scenes are memorable because they are beautiful or very sad. The plot isn't very simple because there are many stories in the ship about people who were in the Titanic.

All in all, I love the film, and though it hasn't got a happy ending. It's a really good film to watch.

Cinema

Hello, my name is Laia and in this oral presentation I'm going to talk about cinema.

Do you often go to the cinema? Well, I don't go to the cinema very often but when I go, I enjoy it a lot. When I go to the cinema, I prefer to watch action and comedy movies. For example, the last film I watched was Lucy and personally I didn't like it although it was an action film. Scarlett Johansson played the character of Lucy. I like the way she acts and some other films she has made such as The Avengers or Captain America.

Do you prefer to watch movies at home or at the cinema? .... For me, there are many pros and cons for both options. A positive reason for watching movies at home is that you can lay in the sofa in the position you want, you can replay a scene again, stop the movie for going to the toilet or other things, and in the cinema you can't do it. However, if you watch the film in the cinema you can watch it before the film comes out on DVD.

Do you think it's expensive to go to the cinema? ... For me it is. I think the discounts they make you aren't very useful because the money you will save will be wasted in another thing such as more popcorns and drinks.

Tenagers Against Petrol Station

5th April 2015

Dear Sir o Madam,

I represent a group called 'Teenagers Against Petrol Station'. I am writing to you because we are concerned about plans to build a petrol station in our area.

In our opinion, petrol stations are not safe, so if there is one near our town, the residents might be in danger. If we have a petrol station here, it will be a problem for a long time. Renewable energy, on the other hand, is a better alternative as it is cleaner and safer.

We have therefore decided to take action, and we are going to organize a protest. For this reason, we are sending a poster and we hope that you will support us and help to publicize this event.

Your faithfully,

Laia Tortós-Sala

THE CAPULETS AND THE MONTAGUES

When the story begins we see both families fighting in the street, Benvolio, a memeber of Montagues wanted peace and Tybalt, a member of Capulets wanted to fighting. This fight start when Sampson a servent of Capulets took out his sword and bit the tumb of the servents of Montagues, it was a great insult. Later the Prince of Verona arrived and they say: 

- I want peace in my city! Drop your weapons or you will all die!

Then Benvolio talked to his cousin, Romeo. Romeo explain to Benvolio that he felt sad because he's out of his lady's favour. He love her but she doesn't love him. 

A servent of Capulets went to invite the guest, for the party of Capulets and he met Romeo and Benvolio in the street. He didn't know that they were Montagues, and he asked for a help. Then Benvolio saw that Rosaline, the person who doesn't love Romeo, will be at the party and they had and idea. They decided to wear mask because the Montagues weren't invited to the party. 

At the Capulets' house, Lady Capulets was talking to her daughter, and she told to her, that she will meet Paris at the party, perhaps she will marry him one day.

THE GARDEN OF THE CAPULETS

When Romeo saw Juliet for the first time. He forgot Rosaline, he fell in love. But when he asked who was these lady, Tybalt recognized Romeo's voice. Tybalt fight against him because it was a great insult for a Montague to come to a party of Capulets. But Lord Capulet stopped Tybalt. 
Romeo went to Juliet and talked to her. He did not know who she was. Romeo kissed Juliet two times. Then the Nurse came to take Juliet to her mother, and she told to Romeo, that is Juliet, a Capulet. Romeo was very surprised and upset. 
Out of the party, Romeo jumped the wall and went into the garden of Capulets. In the dark garden, Romeo suddenly saw a light. Juliet was standing on her balcony. She began to speak to the night. She didn't know that Romeo was listening. Later Juliet asked for the voice she listened, and it was Romeo. They were talking for a few minutes, then the nurse called Juliet, and they decided that tomorrow they will be married secretly.

THE PRINCE OF CATS

Romeo asked to marry with Juliet, to Friar Laurence. And he said, that they marriage will make the Capulets and the Montagues friends. Then Romeo told to the nurse:
"Tell Juliet to come to Friar Laurence's cell this afternoon. We will get married there." 
The Nurse went back to Juliet, who was waiting anxiously. She told her the news. In the afternoon the sun was shining. Romeo went secretly to Friar Laurence's cell. At last Juliet arrived. Friar Laurence took them into his cell and the were married. 
At the moment, Romeo came back from his secret wedding, and he found Tybalt speaking with Mercutio and Benvolio. Tybalt, wanted to fight with Romeo, but he didn't wanted to fight because Tybalt was Juliet's cousin.
Mercutio was angry because he thought that Romeo was a coward. He took out his own sword. Romeo came between Mercutio and Tybalt as they began to fight. Romeo was shouting "stop fighting!" But Tybalt took the opportunity to kill Mercutio. Mercutio fell to the ground and died. It was Romeo's fault. His friend was dead.

Problem in my town

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm writing because there aren't any activities for teenagers to do in our town. I'm sending you a photo which shows our local park. There are no skate or football courts and there's only one small basketball pitch so far of the centre of Banyoles, in Sant Pere. Also, there's a cafe, so we can buy drinks, sandwiches or ice creams.

I think there are two main reasons for this problem. Firstly, the council spends all its money on things for babies and young children. Secondly, the council doesn't want teenagers to go to the park with friends in the evenings.

We must do something about this situation. Maybe the council hasn't go a lot of money but we must do something to help bored teenagers. We need a place to go.

Yours faithfully,

Laia Tortós-Sala Granés

TV highlight

The highlight of this week's TV was definitely the drama series Castle. On Monday's episode, Castle, Beckett, Ryan and Esposito were investigating a murder of a boy found in an ice cream truck. They had a track about a paper in a Primary School, they searched him in Primary School. In the end the testimony was the sister of one children, who went to that school, and the they captured the murder.

Channel 33's TV show, “How do I look” was also worth watching. On Saturday episode, there was a very ugly woman without make up and old clothes, with two daughters, she wanted to subject a radical change. In the end she was a beautiful woman with a very modern clothes and make up.

Finally something which also caught my eye was a story on Tuesday's news. A man paralyzed, the doctors gave to him a medicine and then he could walk. It was a good story, and now the doctors tested this medicine with other people.
