Be Shakespeare

My opinion about the Blogs.

Well, that's an opinion about the english blogs.
I want that the teachers reflect about this part of the note. All the course I wasn't agree with the english blog, I think that when we use a blog for learn english that it's null, when the teachers (you) see the blog, the note is diferent if the presentation it's normal or if the presentation is exelent. I think that for evaluate your english , the presentation isn't important .The name of the class is English, not Presentation, I think that the presentation don't have to be a note.
( isn't an example of me). You can be a very good student but the presentation is normal or bad your note is low than a person who is a normal student an he has a good persentation. This last person always has the same or high note than you.
This text is the same for the others class.
If you have playing basketball for seven years, and you are at a good league, you can't aprove Pysical Education of basketball with an 6 or 7.
Thats imposible and in this personal opinion I want to express that.

That text is not for criticate the english teachers. It's for criticate all the Catalan Education.

Easter Holydays

This Easter Holydays were very exciting, the first and the second day I spent my time to do the homework. I had a lot and in these moment I was very angry with my teachers. The Third day I and my father went to pick up wood in the forest, I liked very much because I could remember when I was young and my grandfather and my father went to pick up wood.
The forth day I went to Barcelona because my brother and me had to buy some clothes.
The rest of the days I stayed at home playing with the Pc or watching a TV program.

I think that this Easter Holydays were very short, if the High School want to disconect of the studies, with this short holydays they can't, because I spent a lot of my time doing homeworks, and a week later we have to return to High School. I think that the Education, in this country is bad.

Bye.
