Carnival is coming!

Its getting close to carnival so I would like to talk about what my friends and I will be doing for those weekends.

This weekend there are three big party's arround this area.

On friday in Rosas and on saturday there is one in Sant Pere Pescador at civic center with live music, and on sunday morning there's one in Escala.

This kind of party consists of a rute arround the town with the home made flotes to finish everybody meets up in the town hall to enjoy live music.

To make it enjoyable people dress up in fanny costumes and decorate their flotes with their theme. It takes many weeks to prepare the flotes to make carnival a very happy and memorable ocasion.

My friends and I are going to those parties dressed up as polar bears,it's so fun!

But I don't know if I can go to all the parties because we have a lot of examens and I think I must encourage me and resist myself from go out to every party, It will be hard!!

Pride & prejudice

"Pride & prejudice" is a title of a novel and now they have done the film of it.


This novel is situated long time ago in the 18th century , and the main problem of it is caused by Elisabeth and Mr.Darcy.

They love each other but Lizzy had too much pride and prejudice them selves, Darcy had a lot of pride too because he came from a very rich family and Lizzy's family was modest.


In the novel we can see that it based in old times for the clothing, the formal vocabulary, the transport vehicles, the way how they see life...

The clothing is very different than nowadays, they dressed more formal and girls went always with dresses or long skirts, they never show in public their legs or shoulders.

It is very different than today people doesn't dress formal, girls can go with short dresses and with jeans like boys. Now we haven't prejudices for others type of clothes, we can't see if anyone comes from a rich family for the kind of dress.

In the film the characters were very formal, they spoke with a lot of respect to everybody and of course to their parents, they also treat other people with formalisms like Mr or Mrs.

How we could apreciate in the film they haven't any cars or buses, they always moved by a carriage pulled by horses. Traveling was very long for them so they didn't have the opportunity to travel so often like now.

In those centuries they saw the life different, they only thing that young girls must to marry to some man than comes from a rich family and have children early, contrary today we only thing to have a good future with a good job, marry to someone that we love and have children later when we have done our life.

Oral presentation TdR

Hello I’m Julia and today I will expose you my research Project. The title of this is “Botanical tour of Castelló d’Empúries” but to be more specific we could say that it is from the Muga’s natural way, starting in geese’s way and ending in the beach, Muga is the name of the river and it’s very important because it is the river that will accompany us all the way.

It results me very interesting this issue because there aren’t any botanicals tours in this area and I had no botanical knowledge and I’ve think that this project would help me to acquire them. For these things I decided to do this project.

To start the methodology we must fix the objectives first and those will bring us to create it.

My principal objective is write a guided botanical tour so that anyone can perform it, showing the principal trees that we found and adding information about them like histories, legends, curiosities, uses, botanical information…

To start the project I went to the promenade, doing photography’s, writing the vegetation that I’ve found left and right and mark reference points.

In second place I must identify the specimens, with the photos and botanical guides, This part bring me a lot of work because I had to compare the more relevant characteristics.

One time I have these trees identificated I search for information about this vegetation.

At last I’ve written the tour and all the rest of the project.

My project is divided in 7 principal parts and into those there are subsections.

The first part of the project is for introduction were I expose my personal objectives and opnions about the work.

The second is about General characteristics, here we can found two subsections, the first is about Geese’s way and Muga and the other of the principal’s trees structure.

The third part’s name is general sections where I’ve written the itinerary, I’ve divided the natural way in five parts so it is easier to follow the explanation. I’ve added a photo like this from the google earth and I’ve make the way were we must go through.

One time I’ve finished the itinerary the other part denominated characteristics includes two subsections. The first are the edifications that I’ve found in the road and the second one is about the vegetation. Giving all the information about them, all the photos that you can find in the project are done by my from the trees in the road.

One time this part is finished, the next point is about conclusions. I will talk about them later.

The penultimate point is the bibliography, and for finish the project we can find attached with a collage with some photos of the tour.

At last I only wanted to say that I’m very satisfied to have done this project because I’ve learned a lot, I had an important practical part this was very good in the summer.

And here finishes my presentation if anyone has a question.

Self-evaluation: 

I liked my presentation, I think I've said all what I wanted to mention.

Course I was very nervous and I talked very fast but I vocalizated good so I don't thing there weren't any problems to understand me.

In general I'm very satisfied with my oral!:)

Internet for a better world

How we all know internet has become very important this last years, and we all can predict that it would be our future or an important part of it, didn't we?


But will this be better?

We all know that internet is a wonderful tool for having informations and a lot of different things but it can become very dangerous. Many people are or have been internet victims, anonimous people has loaded private photografies or videos about them, this type of photos run very fast on the net and in a few minutes it can be saved and seen for lots and lots of people.

This type of "internet bulling" is very difficult to stop because you never could know who has saved those informations or if it is posted in some other place.


This problems happens nowadays and in one future it would be more potentiated, so I think that we would need a lot of specialized people like lawyers only for internet cases.

There are a lot of hackers too, internet is so potent that nobody can have it controlled everybody is allowed to browse in it and it is dangerous.

Revising my opinion, internet is a very useful tool but it must to be used correctly and many people can't do it so in my view it may be controlled by somebody, controlling everyday who wants to create a new page and what they want to introduce in it.

Reserch project

We live near an important natural space, if you think about it you will see that it is very interesting to made a guiated road from Castelló d'Empúries to Empuriabrava's beach going through this natural way knowing more about it.
The main objective of this reaserch project is create a botanical itinerary talking about the more important specimens and giving informacions about it, not only bontanical informations, adding histories, uses, curiosities, legends...
It's nice and interesting to know more about this beautiful place that it's so near, and that we dind't give the necesary importance to it.
The practical part was very important and fun.
