MY WORLD: TRIP TO BARCELONA

Last Thursday, we went to Barcelona for a school excursion. We left a quarter past eight. We were more or less two hours in the bus. We didn't stop until arrived to our destination. When we arrived we got in groups. The bus left us at the Plaça Catalunya. In my group were Rosó and Míriam and I. We went to the Portal del Àngel for looking for tourists. First we found a French couple and Rosó made her questions. Then was my turn, I made my questions at one Dutch woman. Finally was the Míriam's turn and she found a German woman. Teachers let us two hours and a half for made this task but with half an hour we finished. 

Then until one o'clock we went at many differents shops like Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull and Bear... At one o'clock we went to the Cathedral because we met here with the teachers. Then they let us until three o'clock for have lunch and did what we want. At three o'clock we met with everybody to take a bus for went to the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. The play started at five o'clock and the name was Doña Rosita la soltera. I don't like this play because more of the time I didn't understand what they say. This play was divide in three acts. The autor is Federico García Lorca. The play last more or less one hour and a half. Then, we taked a bus again and we didn't stop until arrived to Castelló d'Empúries.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BOOK AND THE FILM OF ROMEO AND JULIET.

  1. Setting: In the book the fights are in the streets and in the film it happens at the beach. The movie set in 20th century and in the book it is the 16th century. 
  2. Imagery: All the importants scenes of Romeo and Juliet in the film happen near the water. It means love. The fire represents thehate of the two families. At night they love because nobody can see them, but at the day light they can't love because the people can see them. The moon is the sun of their love. 
  3. Language: The narrator is the only who speaks in prose. All the other characters speak in verse. The narrator is the news reporter.   
  4. The fancy dress party: Paris think that he is superior to the others. He dress like an astronaut. Juliet's costume is an angel, symbol purity and innocence. She dress like this because in the book, when Romeo see her, he thinks that she is feel like an angel. Romeo's costume is a knight because he's Juliet's Prince Charming. Mercutio's costume is a drag queen. He's a imprudence person and he is a little bit crazy. 
  5. Elements: The horses changes for the cars, the swords for the guns, the garden when Romeo and Juliet taks after the party changes for the swimming pool, the Prince in the film is the policeman, the old dress for the modern dress...

MY WORLD: PREPARING PET EXAM

TEXT 1

I like romantic films, comedy films... but I hate action films a lot because since I was little I hated blood. The reason why I like the romantic films is because I like the stories but for me it is better if there is drama. It's more interesting. I like romantic characters because they are perfect. My favourite film is "The Notebook" because it's very beautiful with a little bit of drama. I like the comedy films because I laugh a lot and are enjoyable. One comedy film that I like a lot is "Niños Grandes" the first and the second film. The las comedy film that I see is "The wolf of wall street".
