147. A CLASSMATE I LIKE/ ADMIRE. by G.P.C (E.S.O 3)

SONG: OFRA HAZA -  You

I have never known anybody like Celia.

She is fourteen years old and although with her average height and her straight brown hair she may be considered just another  girl of the bunch, she is definitely not.

She’s thin and very flexible as she does rhythmic gymnastics.

She has big brown eyes and a turned-up small nose which makes her face look friendly and nice. This feeling is increased by her smile, which is always illuminating her beaming face.

When you first meet her, she might seem quiet and a little bit shy, but then you realise that she is not. She’s kind and pleasant, she’s always helping everyone! She’s also very optimistic: when something goes wrong she just laughs and makes a joke of everything and all becomes less terrible.

She’s also intelligent and calm, and you can always ask her for advice. But the adjective which describes her the best is amusing. She always makes you laugh with her pranks and her wittiness. To sum up, she is a funny and witty girl who will always make you have a nice time.

She’s also creative and she loves drawing. However, there is an activity that she loves the most: rhythmic gymnastics.

She started doing rhythmic gymnastics at the age of eleven and she hasn’t stopped since that moment. She spends most of the evenings training with her team, so she can’t usually go out with us, but it has been worth: she’s amazingly good at this sport!

It’s astonishing to see her doing flexibility exercises, she looks as if she were going to bend!

Apart from rhythmic gymnastics she also loves reading and listening to music.

I can just say that I basically like her due to all the things that I’ve mentioned, specially because she’s what she is in a natural way. She doesn’t pretend to be like nobody else, she is just herself.

146. LEARNING AND WORKING IN A NOISY CLASSROOM: HOW DOES IT AFFECT STUDENTS ? by A.F.L (E.S.O 3)

SONG: OMAR AKRAM - A Day With You

Learning and working in a noisy classroom not only affects the correct development of the class, it also affects students’ brains.

Learning and working with constant noise makes you learn more slowly and worse. It’s one of the most important problems in schools as it is negative not only for students, it’s bad for teachers too since they can’t work as they want.

When we are talking about something in class everyone wants to participate but almost nobody raises the hand and they start to speak and then, in less than one minute, everybody is shouting and laughing and it doesn’t stop until the teacher, after trying it many times, can get the students to be in silence.

I think it’s better to work in silence and raise the hand to participate because we learn more, we can do more things and the atmosphere is more pleasant. If we want to speak with friends, we have five minutes between class and class and we also have the break, which is of thirty minutes. We can speak with friends after finishing the classes too. 

145. WRITE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EXCURSION YOU WENT TO , by M.G.D (E.S.O 3)

SONG:  ALIHAN SAMEDOV - Sen Gelmez Oldun

When I was eleven years old, I went to Gijón, in Asturias. I visited the maritime museum with my classmates and my teacher Isabel.

We went by bus to Gijón, and I sat with my friend. We took our headphones and we were listening to music during the journey. Also, we talked about our things.

After a few hours, everybody arrived at the entrance of the museum. We left our backpacks in the reception of the museum, we started to talk and we saw the sea animals.

In one part of the maritime museum, we saw a turtle which was bumping all the time with the walls. Also, we saw a shark, so I asked if the shark ate the fish which were with it. The guide laughed and told me that the shark didn't eat the other fish, because it was very well fed.

When the visit finished, we walked to the beach near the museum. First, we ate our sandwiches. Then, we picked up the plastic of the food, and finally, we went to the park.
