HERE YOU HAVE SOME GOOD SUMMARIES AND COMPOSITIONS FROM 3ºB

2008-04-19T08:36:00.001-07:00

If we continue warming the planet, it will harm the people (persons), animals and plants. We should recycle and not use so (much) many (the) cars, since it harms (to) the environment. We must not leave bonfires and cigars ignited in the forest, since it can cause a fire, If we are still like that we will destroy the planet (?), we have to stop it and help (not to destroy) the Earth , not only we have to say, also act ! NOT ONLY WORDS, BUT ACTIONS ARE NEEDED. By: MªJesús Anta 3ºb good try, Mª Jesús.

Hi!! I'm Raquel from 3ºb. This is my composition:
Dear Sir:I have read so many texts about the greenhouse effect. I think we aren't careful(ly) with the environment. The problems are the excessive use of cars. Every day there are less forests and more carbon dioxide. We can solve the problems if we use public transport and if we recycle more, we will reduce the greenhouse effect.I don't have anything else to say (to say anymore) Bye!!n_n THAT'S GREAT RAQUEL. Congratulations

hello I'm Patri 3ºB. Our planet is getting worse because humans are very insensitive with the enviromment. Every day there are less forest areas and more carbon dioxide. If we try to recycle more, we will have less rubbish and more water.The (situation) excessive use of cars pollutes the atmosphere. If we use public transport,we will reduce greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature. If the greenhouse effect (is) gets bigger,we will die. NICE COMPOSITION PATRI!

David from 3ºB said: The greenhouse effect is very bad for the planet, because (the) cars, motorbikes and other(s) means of transport(s) produ(ct)ce CO2 emissions, but if we use (the) public transport public, we'll pollute less.The next point (about of) is (the) rubbish, this theme is very important because the rubbish is very important in (the) society, it is very important to recycle the rubbish; the glass in the green container; the paper or the carton in the blue container and the metal or the other products in the yellow container. see you later ;^) GOOD WORK DAVID!

Hello!! I'm Melisa from 3ºB:The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere.Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder.The greenhouse effect is important.Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth wouldn't be warm enough for humans to live.But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.60ºF are 15,5ºCbye! -_- ^^! Good summary, Melisa.

hello i am jose from 3ºb and this is my composition.

The pollution and the rubbish that (the) humans produce is making the environment worse.(in) On the one hand, we know that humans produce a lot of pollution because they don´t recycle, so they produce a lot of rubbish too. (in) On the other hand we know (about) that if we (stil) keep doing that , all the world will become dangerous for the environment. (For) To make a better environment, we must recycle and use public transport . In this way, we produce less carbon dioxide and we will make the greenhouse effect better too . In conclusion, we must be careful with the planet and the evironment. OK, good composition Jose.

We're Judith and Gaston. 3ºB

We have to control our pollution, of the water and the earth because otherwise we won't be able to live on the earth. To prevent it, we have to recycle and not throw(ing) rubbish everywhere, so that we can live on a cleaner earth. And not to forget the pollution that comes from the use of cars, motor bikes (gases), etc.

CORRECT, SIMPLE AND PRECISE. Thanks

Hello!!^^ I'm Vicky from 3ºb.

Dear director: My name is Lola and I live in Saint Bernard Street. Every day when I go to work by train I notice that near a development and a park there is a rubbish dump, that contains organic (remains) leftovers (like food), plastics, papers, glasses, metals, paints, clothes, nappies, batteries, and a lot of (diversity) different objects and substances consider(ate)ed contaminants. I (solicit prepare that instance) kindly request a solution for that, for the (next) following reasons: 1._For the (aesthetics) deteriorated image that the development is giving, (that is giving a reprehensible aspect). 2._For the health of the (persons) people that live in the development and go to the park with their children, because they could get an infection or an illness because of the rats.3._Because it is damaging the environment since it contributes to its destruction because of the decomposition process of the matter in the rubbish dump, it forms lixiviates that carry the toxic products present(s) in the rubbish, and contaminate the subterranean water, that (in occasions there) are used for human consumption and watering, and it liberates in the air a lot of important gases like methane, CO2 (gas responsible of the greenhouse effect) or toxic gases like benzene, etc. I request that you move away the rubbish dump (because) for the reasons above mentioned (up there). And I propose/suggest to install an "ecological island" for the perfect/adequate separation of rubbish. Best wishes.

READ AND EXPLAIN IN YOUR OWN WORDS WHY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR OUR PLANET

2008-04-10T13:17:00.000-07:00

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glass house. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun.

The Earth’s atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, land, water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight’s energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.

The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.

THE GOLDEN COMPASS

2008-02-04T11:28:00.000-08:00

The Golden Compass: Watch this trailer and summ up in a few lines the plot of the story. (Escribe en unas pocas líneas el guión de la película)

There is a world where witches rule the Northern skies, where ice bears are the bravest of warriors, where every human is joined with an animal spirit which is as close to them as their own hearts... But this world is dominated by the Magisterium, which seeks to control all humanity and whose greatest threat is the Golden Compass and the one child destined to possess it....

JOSE SAYS: The movie is about lyra a guirl who has a golden compass that it is the threat of the white bears and they are the greatest warriors. so she use the golden compass. Could be better JOSE. The threat is not the Golden Compass nor the white bears. Anyone else wants to try?

ADELINA SAYS: The trailer speaks about a fantastic world which is dominated by a malefic woman,called the Magisterium,whose threat is a Golden Compass.She try (ies) to do yours the girl which was destinated to have the compass, attaining like that her purposes.The girl escape(s) and start a fight for the possesion of the Compass and to protect all the world.The girl ha(s)ve a lot of friends in her service.Ler's see if that will help her to win,and beat the Magisterium.

VICKY SAYS: the trailer is about a world that is (traying to be conquisted) BEING CONQUERED by the Magisterium but a child with a golden compas and an animal spirit will try to (impede) prevent that, with the help of witches and ice bears.!

PABLO SAYS:the movie is about one girl(Lyra).Lyra Ha(ve)s a Golden Compass.The Golden Compass is a "door" for other worlds with Polars Bears and (an)other(s) Fantastics Criatures.

Good job Pablo and Vicky.

ALVARO'S AREQUIPES

Hello my name is Alvaro J Guzman 4c and my (recet) RECIPE is a traditional (sweet) dessert of Latin America (AREQUIPE)-1 liter of milk-230 grams of white sugar-1 spoonful of BAKING SODA (bicarbonate of sodium), (disuelto) mixed in ½ water cup. (To set) Place the milk to boil together with the sugar in a pan (to) OVER LOW FIRE /HEAT slow fire, (without stopping removing) stirring constantly. Little by little add the water with bicarbonate. The arequipe is ready when (he) it thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan when you push it aside with a spoon (on having moved with the spade one sees the fund of the pan) .

ADELINA'S PASTA SALAD:

INGREDIENTS:500g pasta..................1,00€
50ml oil....................0,35€
10g paprika.................0,35€
1/2 tablespoon oregano......0,10€
2 carrots...................0,50€
1 onion.....................0,25€
a tin of peas...............0,75€
100g mushrooms..............0,40
€1 pepper....................0,30€
1 celery....................0,45€
3 tomatoes..................0,70€
40g parmesan................1,00€
200g maize..................0,50€
we spend....................6,65€

1. Boil the pasta in wat(h)er with salt for about 8 min.2. (Temper) Fry all the vegetables (except the tomatoes) in the oil for 10 min. and after that add wat(h)er and cover them with a lid for 5 min.Then add salt,paprika,oregano and the tomatoes.Let them boil for 15 min.3.Add the pasta and half of parmesan cheese.After (the homogenising) mixing well, (put the composition) serve on a plate and add the other half of parmesan cheese.

PASTA SALAD BY jose and rafa
INGREDIENTS:
250g of PASTA of different colours (grazes of colors)....0,80€
- tuna........................1,20€
- cheese......................0,40€
- onion.......................1,12€
- hard egg....................2,40€
- thyme.......................1,10€
- nut nutmeg..................1,10€
- cumin.......................1,10€
- oil,vinegar and salt........1,50€
we spend 10,72€

PREPARATION: We boil(ed) the PASTA with a little oil, (you leave), ADD or FLAVOUR with thyme, nut nutmeg and cumin. Cut cheese, onion to taste (if you put different types (from) of cheese is more (flavorful) TASTEFUL, but with (a) a little/some white soft cheese is (sufficient) ENOUGH) and a hard-boiled egg cut very well into small pieces. - The trick is having the ingredients (at least preparations) READY, the cheese, when the pasta is cooked and still warm, melts a little and when taking it (although it is in the refrigerator) this softens the cheese. - we season to taste with the oil, vinegar and salt. - Keep in the refrigerator and take it when it is cool . IMPORTANT: (not to) DON'T rinse THE PASTA (grazes) once cooked, or the spices would be lost, and this the trick of the salad.

YOU´RE SMART BOYS. YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK. CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE RECIPE.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A GOOD SUMMARY ABOUT THE RATATOUILLE STORY. Good job Alvaro.

My name is ALVARO GUZMAN FROM 4c . The movie leaves us an ¿education? moral on the power to reach a goal. In this case the (personage) leading character wants to be a cook. But he is only a simple attendee because he is very awkward, but with the help of a rat, (that is) he becomes an excellent cook and he can get a good position (can be gained) then as a chef.BYE.

WELCOME CARLOS AND RAQUEL!

Welcome to the new students who are sharing their contributions with us:
CARLOS CRESPILLO from 4ºC and RAQUEL from 3ºB.

Now pay attention: Después del verbo CAN, sólo se escribe un infinitivo sin TO, así que estaría mal CAN'T COOKING - CAN'T COOKS y otras cosas que he visto en los comentarios.

WHEN YOU WRITE IN ENGLISH, DO IT AS CORRECTLY AS POSSIBLE (tan correcto como sea posible) . BETTER BRIEF BUT CORRECT. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. :)

Oh, Paris, France, the home of the finest restaurants and the greatest chefs in the world... All my life I've wanted to be one of them. You may think that's a strange dream for a rat, but I've always believed that with hard work and a little luck, it would be a matter of time before I am discovered..... RAAAAAAATS... GET THEM....

You know what would happen if anyone knew we had a rat in our kitchen. Go, take it away from here. Now, garbage boy...

Don't look at me like that. You are the one who was getting fancy with the spices... I need this job. I've lost so many... I don't know how to cook and now I'm actually talking to a rat as if you... Did you nod? You understand me! I can't cook, but you can, right? Look, don't be so modest, you are a rat, for pete's sake... Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We just need to work out a system, so I do what you want...

Stop that! Stop what? Freaking me out!... I want to make things dad! Stay away from the humans. It's dangerous. Now, shut up and eat your garbage... ETC.

WORK TO BE DONE: 1. WATCH THE VIDEO AND THEN GIVE A SUMMARY (RESUMEN) OF THE STORY: WHAT'S THE STORY ABOUT? WHO/WHAT ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS? WHERE DOES THE STORY TAKE PLACE? 2. GET THE COMPLETE MESSAGE SHOWN IN THE MENUS THAT POP UP IN THE LAST PART OF THE TRAILER(ESCRIBE EL MENSAJE COMPLETO QUE APARECE EN LOS DISTINTOS MENUS EN LA PARTE FINAL DEL TRAILER)

The old lady lifted her hand. She was going to hit Tom.
‘Look behind you, Aunt Polly!’ said Tom.
Aunt Polly let go of Tom’s jacket and turned round quickly. Tom ran away. He ran into the garden and climbed over the fence.
‘Tom Sawyer!’ said Aunt Polly. Then she laughed. ‘He always plays tricks on me,’ she said to herself. ‘I never learn.’

THE GIRLS FROM 4ºD - TATEVIK AND BLANCA'S COMMENT WAS:

Hi...:) On the one hand , we (are) agree with all that is said (with) IN this Spanish students talk, but we think that things like eating fruits after lunch (if it's immediately) is fattening. On the (second) other hand , we think that everyone has THE right to decide a (form of feeding) his own diet. So each person has a( a form) way and an opinion of being healthy. And finally, we are in favour of doing gym exercises whenever we have a bit of free time, because it's really good for our health. Thank you, it was an interesting talk! :) Bye.

THANKS TO YOU. MY SUGGESTION IS: THINK IN ENGLISH WHEN YOU ARE WRITING. DON'T TRANSLATE FROM SPANISH!

Here it goes...
"the environment is very important fot the health of the Earth.We need to take care of it,because if we don´t do it, our children will have to face up to it.That´s why saving water is a good idea, because lakes and rivers are almost dry.We could also try to recycle materials like paper and glass, and we would stop wasting money on producing them,when we can spend less by recycling.However, we can´t hesitate and we must try to help the Earth,because if we don´t do it, we will not be able to go backwards".
