My final marks: by Julio Cesar

This text is similar to that one that I posted when we finished last term. But, in fact, this is more important because this will be my last post. So I would like to post everything that I've always wanted to say. At the end I will discover my identity because I might not go to the final party. In spite of I have learnt a lot this course, the most important thing is taht I've met very interesting people, and some of them have become more than simple collegues. Thanks to this class I've had the chance to meet people who I would have never met if we hadn't come to the English classroom. Unluckily, I haven't had the oportunity of knowing all the people considering the differences that we find in that classroom, considering that there is a fascinating variety. If I have to talk about my what I have learnt this course I would say that I've improved my oral fluency, I have understood(at least) how to use different tenses, and a lot of idioms and phrasel verbs... so now I know which is my level and I'm not worried about the future because my English leve is not determinated by a number, only by myself. I hope that I will pass although I'm not getting nervous about this. So the two different teachers that we have had, have been kind and very sensitive about our problems in order to write so I thank them their comprehension. As I said before I will tell you my identity, but not with words: with people. So thanks Bea, Antonio,Miguel, Joaquim, Ingrid and my suffering Lidia. I'm sorry if you are not in that list but you have to understand that I've been working with them and I have special feelings that I cannot feel with you because I don't know as well as these people. So that's the end. Be alive and remember that next year Julio Cesar Will stricke again.

Have you ever lived?

Have you ever felt the ecstasy? The feeling of being powerful, the feeling of being able to do whatever you want. I have. You know the nervous that you feel when you get away with murder. If you have never done anything like this please do it! It can sound strange and a bit dangerous, but if you do it correctly is fantastic. When you don’t get on well with someone and he/she asks you” what are you doing?” and you answer” That’s none of you business” and you enjoy it. That’s hilarious. When you are dying for you girlfriend or your boyfriend and he/she appears in front of you. The feeling of going with a Kart at 85km per hour, the feeling of the speed raising your hair, you can’t beat a race! I always tend to live new experiences (healthy ones) because life is an evolution and as Darwin said only the strongest and the cleverest can survive. The greatest situation for me to feel this sensation is to break an important thing to your parents. When did you last make a fuss? Probably, long time ago? Please do it! You have this duty, the duty of being alive. Go on a spending spree! Make a fuss! Be free. Face your problems. Glance your father when you are breaking to him a bad new. Be powerful. Sleep like a log in Sunday’s morning, dance until you flipped your lid. Tend to behave as you really are, not this false person who always smile and laugh the horrible jokes of your boss. But beggars can’t be choosers so we always behave like robots” yes sir” “yes my darling” yes father”. Get rip of this surface. Gatecrash a party. That’s one of my best dreams, I haven’t had yet the opportunity of doing this, and I would do it if I could. But life is hard. We have to be polite with people. So, all of this explanation is a utopia. I hate being like this but if you want to have success you have to be a robot. So I will never live alive.

. I would like to tell you an urban story (you can believe it or not) which has been the main subject during our breaks since it happened. A few months ago some of my classroom decided to play a football match in the high school on Sunday. As you should know the high school is closed during the weekend, but it doesn’t matter. Anyway, we met in front of the door at half past eleven. When I arrived they were talking how we could get in. After a few moments of arguments, we decided to jump above the door. So at least we got in. And we begin to play football. It was fantastic; we spent a very fun time there until my friend Oriol decided to kick a penalty. He threw the ball so hard that it broke a mirror and it entered into the high school. Oh my God! And the worst thing is that my name was in that ball. Suddenly the bell rang and we had to break it because if we hadn’t done that the police would have arrived in a few minutes. So here we are! I had to enter into the high school. My friend and I decided to get in while the others were looking the street to warn us in case the police would come. We entered through the broken window. Everything was in silent. My friend was afraid of the cameras, but I wasn’t because I knew that they only record if the main computer is open. We searched the ball but it wasn’t anywhere. Suddenly we saw the ball bouncing along the stairs. Why did the ball do that? We began to be afraid, but we had to find that stupid ball. I would kill to have a gun in that situation, but I didn’t have it. I run and I jumped and finally I caught the ball. And when I saw it I had a shiver. Someone had written something in the ball” you have woken me up”. Well I cannot describe what I though when I saw this I preferred not to say anything to Oriol. So I get out as I fast as I could. And luckily we could gateway and we returned to our houses. On Monday everybody was talking about this. I decided to say nothing. Since then I haven’t gone on weekends there.

The show must go on

My dear colleagues, I haven’t written for a long time so this morning I decided to write about someone who has been our teacher since Nuria got ill. I’m talking about Mariona. Yes, this nice girl who has taught English. I like the young people who know what to do in their life and she is one of them. And as we have seen she is very brave and much sacrificed with her work and her students, and this is difficult to find (luckily we have had two of them) and it’s fair to dedicate a paper to this incredible girl. She came when we didn’t know if we had a new teacher, I have to admit that I was praying because I’m always nervous when I’m suppose to spend time with a teacher, I don’t know this is my feeling. Its difficult being friend much older than you (this is not our case) and who is trying to teach you, because she will be correcting you all the time. And for me it’s difficult, and hard. But I gave her a chance (I’m getting used to do this) and she astonished me. She was so lively, I couldn’t believe that. A person who knows that she won’t spend a lot of time with us, and who tries to be as much friendly as she can it’s difficult to know. Teachers who replace for a short time others are usually colder than Mariona. What a pity! But as The Queen said “ the show must go on” and we shouldn’t be sad because Nuria is coming and this will bring us a new air. Goodbye Mariona, welcome Nuria

The oral expositions

I’ve really enjoyed with our oral presentations. I have to congratulate you and me because we’ve done a hard work and this has had some good marks. I have to say that the work in power point (if we except Samuel who is always different of us) has been very beautiful. You know at first, I was a bit worried about this, because I thought that it would be a nasty thing and I was afraid of getting asleep!!!! But I was completely wrong. I think that all the expositions have had something that we have learnt (including Samuel who has shown us what kind of person he is) I liked the macrobiotics, the suffragist, and the Olympics games. These have been my favorite expositions. Well. I also enjoyed these that explained a travel. But the one who surprised me was the last one, about pen games? Really original I would have never waited a thing like this. Well, now, I have to say that I’ve learnt a lot about subjects that I had no idea or I knew them superficially, but for me the most important thing is that I’ve been able to study your way of thinking and I realized that we have all kind of points of view in our classroom and this is a good this is a good thing if we respect other people (we’ve seen that there are someone who is very sensitive). This is very interesting and it lets us se different positions in front of us. Well, retaking the subject of the expositions, I have to say that we should do this more often because it teaches us how to talk in English when you are telling something to people. And has been useful to lose our nervous when we talk in public. In fact only the first people were nervous, later, everybody seemed quite and calm, so I'm sure that we have discovered that nervous aren't a good partner when you are talking. So I hope that you have also enjoyed with the oral expositions.

The strange Komentatore

This story could happen to everybody in our class.It was on Thursday, he/she came back from his/her English classroom my God, what a class! Everybody was talking about Il-Komentatore, who was him/her? Nobody knew it". But he/she didn't think about it because he/she thought that it was a stupid thing” who could waste his/her time saying things to people?”. While he/she was thinking about this, he/she entered into house. He/she turned the lights on but nothing happened. He/she thought that the lights were out. Luckily he/she knew the place of everything and he/she didn't have problems to put everything in its place. After a few minutes, he/she went to his/her bedroom. He/she opened the door and he/she saw that there was a real mess there! Everything was out of their place! When he/she opened the door of the cupboard he/she saw something beside him/her. He/she thought that it wasn't anything. But when he/she opened the door of the cupboard she saw a figure! He/she was frightened” who are you?”, the figure answered” I’m Il Komentatore"."But what are you doing?”,” I have come to warn you” the figure said.” But why are you in my flat, treating me?” he/she answered,” do you want to know who is Il-Komentatore?",he /she got angry because this wasn't his/her cup of tea"Please,turn the light on” said the figure. He/she was fed up with this and he/she turn the light on rapidly and he saw something scared: he was talking to a mirror.(If you haven't understand the story he/she was Il-komentatore)

My marks:by Julio Cesar

Well, we have finished our first term. What do you think about it? Has it been a surprise? Have you enjoyed the classes?I'm sure that you know who I am because I've just said it and it's very logical but If you don't know who Julio cesar is,you will know it now...for me it hasn't been a good term becuase I know that I can do it better,but I'm happy about my class but I must say that when I entered in the first class I thought that i would be alone, and I have to admit that the first two week Iwas alone. Maybe my way of behaviour wasn't the best to to get into the class but What sould I say? I'm very show-off and I can't close my mouth, the perfect combination,hahaha...but in fact when I started working with my collegues I realised that I was wrong(that happens a lot of times).And , please don't get me wrong,Ihave to admite that I didn't like the teacher, because I thought that she was very strong and very narrow-minded, but luckily I changed my feelings about her.Well, I'm a human(but I know that I look like a machine) and I can make mistakes,and here from my blog I apoligize. Sorry if somebody has been hurt by my behaviour specially our teacher. But I have to say that I like being controversial and I like to be the centre of the world.You should see me in class, there isn't a dull moment.I have to congrulate my collegues,you have been able to meet me,well not as much as I am, but you have done the effort.By the way I have to say that since thursday I hadn't talked to everybody(Oh my dearest shy people)Iused to be shy but my condition of show-man doesn't let me be shy,just a pity.So please ask the Kings to bring you patience because you will have Emperator for ages.Merry Christmas.
