Origin: Is an expression dating from 1600s and is considered one of the most commonly used American idioms. It implies that word of trouble travels much faster than news about good fortune. An American might say “I heard about you losing your job Jeffrey: It seems that bad news travels fast”.

EXCHANGE WITH FRANCE

This is a project that is done in my school every year with the third course of the ESO, Is a exchange with France specifically with Normandie, we go one week and then they come to Spain other week. This project works to know other cultures, in this case the French because it is the country where we travel. We travel all students of this course together but everyone go to one house, sometimes there are people that goes at the same house, or have two french like me, and everyone have a French girl/boy.

We have a book trip or something like that, there are two parts, when your are preparing the travel, that you have to write what are you going to go, what do you put in the baggage... and the second part is when you are in France that you put photos of your french girl/boy, of the french people that made your friends, of the family, of the school, of the house...and you write about the french culture, the food, the timetable,thing about the school, the place...  

her home.

We take the plane in the airport of Manises, when we arrive at Paris we take the bus to go to Trouville Sur-Mer, when we arrive we stop at the school and and there were all our French, to each one his French picked it up and brought him/

The days go so fast because we enjoy a lot and the french people was very friendly and we get so good with they, We go to parties and to the bowling alley, we had a really good time with the french people and now we miss they a lot!

My french girls are Louise Lebey and Capucine Boinet, I stay 3 days in one house and other 3 in the other house, first I stay in Louise's house and I dont like the house because it was very small and old house and the floor creak, but the food was very good. And the other house was all opposite but the food was very good too because they used a lot of cheese and I love it!About my french girls I get better with Capucine because she talks to me about things not only the necesary and Louise only spak me to say me the necesary but I dont get bad with she because she welcomed me into their home and she attend me good.

MY FIRST EUROPEAN COMMITTEE

All my classmates and I on Tuesday April 4th trip we went to end of year trip to Germany with the European Committee and now I tell, first what is European Committee and then th

e experience.

WHAT'S THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE?

The European Committee is an exchange which participate a lot of countries like: Spain, France, Holland, Germany, etc…

But not only will a school by country there are more school by one country, for example from Spain there are three schools: Juan Comenius, Escuela 2 and La Gavina.

The European Committee each year is in a different country, this year was in Germany.

In the exchange you stay all the days in a house of a student from other country, the objective in the European Committee is learn more English, how act when you're alone in one house and you don’t understand the idiom, how to relate and make you that the people understand you.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THIS COMMITTEE?

We arrived at the house of our German girl or boy very late like 11:00 on the night, more or less, when I arrived I’m very tired but at the same time nervous because I don’t know the family, but the first I do was go to sleep and I think tomorrow will be another day.

When I wake up I have a breakfast and I go to the school and in the school welcomed us, and then we do workshops.

The others day at the morning we do workshop and in the afternoon we have free time an for example we go to the swimming-pool, had barbecues…

MY PERSONAL OPINION

My personal opinion about this exchange is regular because I enjoyed a lot but when I was outside the house, because I meet with my friends, go to the swimming pool etc… but when I was in the house was very boring because my German girl don’t pay me attention and only give me the computer 40 minutes more or less.About the food I’ve been very hungry because for lunch only give me two muffins or similar things and any day I have diner because they have diner at 6 o’clock and me I don’t have hungry and I don’t get used to the timetable.

  

THE LETTER TO MY GERMAN

                                                                                              Saturday, 20 of April

Dear , Laura

Hello, I’m Mar  and I’m 13 years old. I’m your spanish girl.    

I haven’t any brothers and sisters, I’m only daughter. I live in La Cañada, is a village of Valencia, and I’m studying in Escuela 2, I’m in second of High School. My parents are separated, with my mother I live in a chalet in La Cañada and with my father in Higueruelas, which is a very little village.

            My best friend are Silvia, Yoli, Juana, Lucia and Marina, in the weekend we met together, but no all together, we met for example Yoli, Silvia and me, depends. I like very much to be with they, they are very fun and friendly, and we have a lot of familiarity because we know from we are three years old.

I like to travel, my last travel was to London, I enjoyed a lot. The city is very beautiful to see. I went to London Eye and it was very exciting because you can see all the city and I saw the Big-Ben, Saint Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament.

I’m waiting for the day we know with great enthusiasm and I hope that we had a very good time together.

Huggs,

Mar

MY IDEAL PERSON

   I'm going to talk about my ideal person, first I talk to his fisical description and then to the psychological description.

My ideal person is 15 years old, he is a teenager boy who has a short, wavy and dark brown hair. 

His eyes are very nice, there are very bigs and the colour is dark blue.

He usually shows a lovely smile with cute dimples on both of  his cheeks.

Also he has a cute freckles under his eyes, a little more up their cheeks.
 
His skin is brunette,he is strong but no a lot, and he has a coconut earrings in his two ears.

He is a really nice person, is funny and very friendly because he always has a smile in his face.

But the thing that I like more of him is that he is faithful and honest.




  

CARNIVAL

In this entry i'm going to talk about Carnival:
The Carnival it's a festival  where people dress, it's very fun because the costumes are very diferents and someones are very funny. The Carnival is asociated with the catholic countries, is the pagan party more people celebrate and enjoy in the world, dress up and paint the face it back to antiquity.
As we know today, the carnival is very likely to be a continuation of the ancient Saturnalia, the roman festivals were held in honor of the god Saturn.

I enjoy it a lot my carnival day, it was at the school, my costume was of  "choni", it was with a basic black shirt, a leopard-print maya, a denim shorts, headscarf with leoperd print, plastic jacket and sneakers.
IT WAS VERY FUN.

ORIGINAL VERSION

I'm going to tell my opinion about watch films or series in original version. 

This is my personal opinion: 

I think that is better to watch films in original version, provided that are subtitled because otherwise there will be people that can’t follow the plot, I think is better because you learn to read more faster and also you learn a lot of grammar.

Also I think is better because if you watch the film in original version you can appreciate more the details, the pronunciation, the gestures, the interpretation, in general.

I think also the people must see the films or series in original version because if you like a series but the series there is not dubbed, you lose it.
