My English improved.

My English improved form 2008-2010
Now I’m going to compare my first email and the last composition.
I noticed the improvement, on one hand, when I write it’s more easily for me, of course, I don’t write perfectly,
I learn news verbs, synonyms... and when I write something in English, I don’t think firstly in French and after I translate, now I don’t do this all the time, of course, sometimes I do it, because I don’t speak very well English, but I am happy now, because I understand more when I listen somebody speaking English! This year do the blog I learn so much, because you have to find new words, new verbs...
My pronunciation... aaaaaaah! I think never will change, I have a French accent! But I hope this summer in USA they will understand me...!

In my opinion my best oral presentation is the last one, because I improve a little bit my pronunciation I have more trust in me. If I compare my last presentation with the first one, the change is obvious!

The only problem for me is when I talk I am nervous, because my English is not fluent enough. But I think with the time, it can change.

I enjoyed very much this year English and I thank a lot my teacher for that. We spent four days in London all together and this will remain a fantastic event.

Listening news

In the Lybian crash plane, 103 people died except Ruben, nine years old, is the sole survivor .
Now doctors say that after several factures he is not in danger.
But his parents and his brother were travelling with him, and they died in the accident.
Ruben had a serious shock but he begins to speak, he says “I want to eat, I want to drink”.

The crash was so violent that only the plane’s tail was intact. The aircraft was one year old, the plane’s voice and flying data recorders have been found and may give some clues of the crash, probably it seems due to a human error.
Most of the passengers were Dutch, at least two of the passengers were coming from Britain, one was a woman of 52 years old, coming from Swansee, she was on her way home in South Africa after visiting relatives.

The uncle and aunt of Ruben are arrived in Tripoli to visit him, but when he will return to Holland he will be without his parents. This survival is a miracle. But it remains very sad for him.

Laetitia

I met Laetitia 13 years ago, We went at the same school in France. And after 13 years we are still friends!
She is an amazing person, when we were little girls, we done something stupid in school or in her or my home!

I remember in school we were talking dance courses, and during the week-end we were ridding together!
Our dream was to do a horse breeding, but, of course, now, we changed our mind!

During the summer's holiday, usually, she came with my parents and I, in Empuriabrava (because before the home wher I live now was our holiday's home), so, we camee here and we went with a boat and it was so funny! At that time, I think, I have more or less, 10-12 years old.

After to stay 2 or 3 weeks in Spain together, we left in France, and I went with her in her home in the country side, we were talking bath in the small river nearly to her house! And, sometimes after the bath we went ridding her horses. It was like a dream.

In 2006, when I came to live in Spain, I missed her a lot! But, fortunately I saw her from time to time and I went some holidays there. And she came here in Spain to see me too.

Now, our friendship changed it's better, both we have cars, and we see z lot more, moreover, when I go to France we go out together, we are talking for hours, we are ridding too, and, of course, we love eachother a lot! It's my best friend, and I hope this friendship will last forever.

USA immigration problem.

While on the one hand, the country has seen its rich culture and civilization being shaped out by talented, ambitious, and hard-working people from around the world, but on the other hand, illegal and disruptive elements have endangered the national security.

Illegal immigration is an alarming problem now, because people cross borders in violation of US immigration and at the national law.

The other problem is that lots of these immigrants are invoved in drug's traffic, and time after time there are more drugs in this country.

Before immigrants held false papers, for this reason, the USA gourvenment decided that everybody must have an electronic passport to reduce the number of false passports.

I think the problem is not only in USA but too in Europe.
In my opinion I agree with the gourvenment to do this reformation, maybe with this reformation the immigration will can reduce.
But, I don't think that this reformation will sregulate the immigration.

I am not against immigration if immigrants don't do anything against habitants of the concernate country.
If immigrants work, do their obligations of the country and don't do something agaisnt the law, they are the right to stay in USA, it's my opinion of course.

the illegal immigration can also advantage the dishonest people who take money from the illegal immigrants, making them to believe that they will stay in the country and that they will find work easily. Of course, it is a lie. That is why, we have to fight against it.

France or Spain.

Now, I am going to compare France ( my country) and Spain ( wher I live now).

Everybody has its own way of thinking, but, on my point of view I prefer France, because there I have got my childhood's friends, my best friends.
However, I have my horse there, and all my family, because I live alone with my mother in Spain, because my dad works in France.
And, OH , Paris it's so beautiful, and there are so many shops, isn't it? But, of course, when you work in Paris it's different, you don't go to buy clothes all the day!! And to live and to work in Paris it's very complicated, because normally you don't live near your job and if you go with a car you have to leave your home very early because of millions of cars driving in the city.

Spain is a very nice country for many reasons, firstly the climate, Spain and its sun! Secondly, I could notice in Spain the great relationship the pupils have with their teachers, in France it's very different, when you speak with your teacher is like if you are talking with a republic's president!!!!

And, of course, what the best thing can we do in Spain? TO GO OUT AT THE NIGHT!
I think is the best in this aspect! In france, and certainly in more country, the sinonyms of Spain is F I E S T A!

I don't know if I'm going to stay in Spain for the rest in my life. Maybe I won't stay in Spain neither in France, perhaps I will realize my dream: to live in the middle of Montana(USA) in the ranch with horses, children, husband and I, maybe, I will be a COWGIRL!

48% of parents are friend of their kids on Facebook.

A survey found that nearly half of parents add their children as friends in Facebook.
Andrew Eisner, the manager of the survey thinks that the parents want to learn a lot about their teenagers by this way.

On the other hand, I think that the private life of teenagers must be kept away from private life of parents. There are a several subjects that the parents don't have to know, even if they want to control their children.

As well as, the children don't have to know the private life of their parents.
Event if the parents and the children have a good relationship but they aren't really "friends".

For example, I don't think it's a good thing that some parents go out at night with their children.

Fortunately, my mother doesn't have facebook, and she doesn't keep an eye on my "private life", even if in facebook I don't have many things about my private life,not intimates pictures... because I don't like that the people can see my intimates pictures, they know who is my new boyfriend or where I go or where I live....

Oral presentation.

These days, I'm watching episodes: Heartland, but not in French nor in Spanish in English!!
Five or six years ago I read the books and now I decide see it in English.
The story talk about One family, the two sisters, Amy who she has the most young and she has a talent to understand the horses and their problems, and Lou who she has more older and in the ranch she tends the account of the ranch, the grand-father, the proprietary of the ranch, he is so sympathetic and very amazing. Ty the young man who he works in the ranch and he is the groom, he is very awesome and he is the boyfriend of Amy. Lou and Amy’s mother died in a car’s accident when he came to help a horse. As you can see, Amy inherited her talent from her mother.

In every episode there are different story with horses but always follows the family’s story.

Doctors without borders

Hello mum,

Firstly, as you know I’m in Cameroon to help ill people. It’s very hard because I work from 7a.m. to 9 p.m., there are a lot of people that I can’t save because they have cruel and strange illness.

Apart from that, I met a boy, he is in Cameroon for the same reason as me. Last Saturday we worked together, and he is so impressive because he works very good and he is attentive to children.
He invited me to go at the beach when we have time, because It’s very hot here.

In short, the problem in Cameroon is the lack of illnesses’ foresight and the carelessness.

I hope that I can help these people and I hope to see you soon and maybe with my new friend.

Kisses mum,

Lesly

Women's day.

Women's rights international day was celebrated the 8 th of march and it found its origin on the women's manifestation early in the XXth century in Europe and USA, calling the equality, the better work's conditions and voting right.
The women's rights international day was created in the united nations in 1977. inviting a lot of countries to celebrate it.

It is a day to enhance around the world the opportunity to claim equality, make an assessment about the situation of women in society. Traditionally, groups and women's activists are preparing demonstrations around the world to make their requirements, improve the status of women, celebrate the victories and advances.

There is still much progress to make in many countries, for example in countries like Africa or muslim countries. The women do not have the same rights as the men. In some religions and countries the women can not work and can not go out alone without her husband (for example in Afghanistan the women can not expect sharing jobs and social activities with men).

I hope that the things will change because all women can have the same rights as the men have, in order to improve their status in the society

Description of Charles Bingley

Do working mums make healthy children?

It is a good question. There are several possible answers. For example, if the mother works, she will have less time to care for her child, to help with the homework, talking to him more often, to share activities with him, to be present in difficult moments of teenage age.
Therefore, I'm not saying that working mothers can not do it, but it's different, they have less time between working all day, then at night when they come back home, they have to cook dinner and clean the house, they have less time to help children with homework, to share things with them.

But there are also negative points when the mother does not work, because the child has the print that the mother is always available for him and she does nothing of the day while the children enjoy it. The children are less autonomous and independent too, therefore their maturity appears a bit later.

In my case my mother did not work all the time, and I am happy because when I need her she is always there, but the problem is that we are always together so it's true that sometimes we disagree for anything! But I must say that I would not change my mum for a mum who works!!

The paint Horse.

Today, I am talking about the beautiful horse: the Paint Horse.
As you can see I love very much the horses, and particularly this breed of horse. This horse is very original in colour, it has a beautiful head and body and it has a good shape.
Its character is amazing, quiet but at the same time reactive.
I think it's one of the best horses, of course it's not a horse to do cross or jumping but it is perfect to do hiking several days along and of course for WESTERN RIDING!
This horse comes from the USA, the cowboys use them for reunification the cattle.
The western is a discipline very hard for the horses, the paint horse and the quarter horse are the only ones able do this discipline, because they are muscular animals, not too tall, they have as well a low centre of gravity for a good manoeuvrability, and they have a rapid acceleration.


The three diferents color of paint horse:

Tobiano:

Overo:

Tovero:

My parents wish to buy two paint horses, because my family love the hiking in the mountains. If we can buy two paint horses, we will let them in France, because the place where my dad lives is very beautiful, in the middle of mountains in the Pyrenees!!!!

A terrible storm in France.

On the night on saturday to sunday, there was terrible flooding in Vendée (atlantic cost in France). Due to a storm the dyke, which protected the city of tide, broke down.
Houses were destroyed by the sea. The people were terrified. Rescuers went as quickly as possible in the most flooded neighbourhoods. They have saved many people but unfortunately there are at least 51 dead and 8 serious injuries.

Now there is a storm a year, is a clear result of climate change. If we do not do anything, storms will happen more frequently and they will do more and more victims.

Crepes party!

The festival of the crepe in France. Every year the same period, in February, we French are celebrating the festival of the crepe.

This festival takes place on the 2nd of february and when we do the first crepe, it must be a piece of money in one hand and fry the crepe on the other hand! Tradition says that it provides prosperity year-round.
We make crepes for all the family and we eat in front a fireplace, we drink tea with it.

To enjoy this famous crepe, we normally put sugar, but we can put a lot of different stuff: jam, maple syrup, nutella, whipped cream, or ice-cream. It all depends on taste.

These crepes which I speak are sweet!
But they are also savory crepes. Especially in Brittany (northern France). crepes are eaten as a main dish with egg, cheese, ham...

I hope that after reading it, you'll want to taste them!

Arthur.

Five years ago, my parents bought to me a second horse, a Hanoverian, ARTHUR.
I was so happy that day. But, one year and a half ago, Arthur became ill, a hoof infection. My parents called veterinarians from different places. The first vet I had was the one doing always the vaccine, also she had treated my other horse for a colic.

But, in this case, she did not know what to do because it was too complicated. So I called the Veterinary University in Barcelona, they have made. The horse seemed to be a little better. Subsequently, I called the last vet who desinfected the hoof every day. But then last Friday my parents and I brought Arthur in France in a clinic for horses. Veterinarians did x-rays, analysis...

By bad luck, the bone was infected. Veterinarians have told us that if they made they should cut across the top, and remove all the flesh and leave only the bones. The horse will have the subsequent 8 months remained attached and lying not to set foot on the floor. It's too much suffering for a horse. A horse needs to gallop in the great outdoors.

It was then euthanized Tuesday morning. Veterinarians gave him a shot and he fell asleep for eternity. I will never forget him. He will remain forever in my heart.

As we say:

"No hoof, no horse"

Arthur, I love you.
