Missing summer

For me summer is the best season of the year. I really enjoy it because I do different things and meet up with firends.
For me its the most relaxing time of the year, I love summer time!
I do many things that I really miss during the winter like going to the beach or having fun in the swimming pool with my friends and family.
I love having tea next to the beach while seeing the sun coming down and listening to de sea.
I have a great time in summer, I really enjoy it.



Helicopter crashed into a pub!!!

30/11/13: In Glasgow, on Friday night, a police helicopter crashed into a busy pub and eight people died. Three of them were the policemen inside the helicopter and the others were visitors of the pub. Many others were injured and taken to hospitals. The police is investigating the reasons for the accident. Scotland’s first minister Alex Salmond says it is a “black day for Scotland”.


Poor people, if you want to go out to dance and have a good time you never think that something like that can happen to you. I am very sorry for them.
It's really an unthinkable thing...



My music!



Today I'm going to talk about music.
I like a lot of differents kinds of music. I always listen to music because it is something that makes me happy and when I meet friends it is something that we always do. When we go out to clubs we always dance to all our favorite songs, it's really funny!
I manly listen to english songs because I think it is the best, the most popular singers are allways from England or USA, but I also like lots of spanish songs. I nearly ever listen to catalan music.
My favourite song now is a song called timbr by kesha, it is a new song and it is very popular.

When I'm sand I allways hear party songs, it makes me feel better!

Oral presentation

Hello, good morning, we are Julia and Judith and now I will talk about Humor.
To begin with I will ask you if you know what humor is?  Humor is the quality that makes something laughable or amusing.
Humor is really important in our lifes because it helps us to deal with the difficult moments. Apart from this laughing it’s very important for everyone, doctors discovered that optimistic people live longer than others, and of course a happier life is better than miserable life.
This title that we have wrote here “Laugh for not cry” it’s a popular topic that people say when they are sad or in a bad situation and they want to face problems with optimism.
Most of the people don't want to express their sad feelings, so they laugh to hide their real feelings.
We have searched in internet opinions of different people about why they like to make other people laugh. We have found an interesting answer from a boy, he said that he likes to make laugh because he loves to see other people happy. When he sees someone sad the first thing he does is trying to make him smile, what this boy does it by telling them his problems with optimism so they don’t feel that they are alone.
In conclusion he said that he wouldn’t be happy if he couldn’t make other people laugh.
With this example we can see that majority of humans are happier if they have people to love and be aprecied from others, too, a person needs to be loved by others.
Now we will show you different types of humor that we can utilize, there are lots.
We will explain you a few examples:
Types of humor :
-Whitemood: this type of humor is driven by surprise factors
-Hacker mood: this humor is exclusive for informatics experts, they usually enter in codes of official pages and do jokes for companies and others.
-Crudemood: This is characterized by producing laughter from the shame of others
-Black mood: tries to make people laugh from death issues and similars
- Green mood: however, is linked to sexuality and often touching obscenity.
Finally we will center our project in an absurd mood, to make this presentacion a little bit more funny we tell you 3 different areas where people can uploade videos and show you examples.
The absurdmood is mainly doing absurd things (as the name says) to make fun on others
The different areas we will show your are: youtube, ads and funny movies.
YOUTUBE:
This is an internet space where people can upload videos, there are many people that put funny videos to make other people laugh and to be a little more popular.
Here is an example from a girl who has become really famous by loading her funny videos in internet.
Sometimes the videos can be thematic and talk about issues that concern the majority and laugh about them. We could say that it would be an optimistic view of things.
youtuber: one who spends much time uploading youtube videos that they have made.
ADS:
The advertisement is to sell a product, service, company or character. Take the idea of ​​getting immersed in the minds of consumers and make them believe that they are offering to buy it.
One of their strategies is to make absurd ads to capt the atencion of the consumers, for example the coca-cola ad
How we have seen this ad has nothing related to cocacola it only tries to be funny.
Doing this they capt a lot of consumers. Another thing what they do a lot is creating a simple mealody in which sticks to people.
MOVIES:
In the adult movies the main resourse to make people laugh is when the characters go wrong or go to anunconfortable situation.
On the other hand in the kids movies they use imaginary characters and make them look stupid and they include parts where the characters sing and dance in ridiculous ways.
Now we can watch a pice of film Madagascar.
To conclude our presentacion we think that life is really hard but if we take it with humor it will be easier and we will be happier.



SELF EVALUATION:

 Our presentation how you could see was about humour.

In my opinion we have done a nice oral, the content was good. We didn't wanted to do a boring presentation and we catch the most important and interesting informacion.

We put videos to show the examples too and that did the presentation funnier.



In general I think it was very good, what I must to improve is my pronuncacion.

And like the others I must be more relaxed
talk a little bit slower.

The roof of a supermarket fell down...

22/11/13   In Riga, capital of Latvia, the roof of a supermarket fell down on the people that were buying inside the supermarket. More than 50 people were killed. It seems that they were doing building works on top of the roof and left a lot of building material that was too heavy and caused the disaster. Also some of the emercency workers died while they tried to help some of the people.


It is sad that this happened because if building engineers had supervised the building works this could have been avoided.
Many people lost their couple, a member in the family or friends, it must to be very hard.
