Report: school events

Students of 1st BAT of SIL school are thinking about how to raise money for a trip of the end of the course. The following two texts are our ideas:

Gastronomic event

This event will be an exhibition of homemade food. Participants will be parents of the students of SIL school, school tutors and our "professional school chef". They will be paired freely and they will have a spot with all necessary cooking equipment. The judges will be the customers and they will vote for their favorite group. Every participant of the winning group will take a set of high quality kitchen knives.

This exhibition will take the day after of final exam. The event will start at twelve o'clock in the morning  and ends at six o'clock in the afternoon. All people who want to participate will have fill out a form at the secretary one week before.

The competition will take place in the outdoors, at the red playground. There will be a recreation area where customers will be entertained while chefs prepare the food.

The price of entrance will be about nine euros per head, for everybody. Free water and free foods. Sodas will be paid apart. The entrance for participants will be free, but they have to bring their own ingredients and foods.

At the entrance of the school will post a large poster to call attention of pedestrians.

Airsoft CQB

This will be a competitive sport, an airsoft battle. The participants will be divided in two groups according to their height, age and experience, to be more fair. There will be two game modes: "team mot team" and "bomb game". Participants may not use airsoft guns more than 350 FPS and it will be obligatory the use of protective goggles. The rules will be based on general rules of practice of airsoft. There will be referees dedicated in this sport. Each participant of winning team will take a high quality 1000 BBs bag and everybody will take a SIL dog tags.

This event will take the last day of class, from four o'clock in the afternoon, when the school is empty, until nine o'clock at night. First two hours will be the "team mot team" game. One hour for snack and rest. Last two hours for "bomb game", with a team switch in the middle if a team wins the game or if time runs out, which it will be one hour and half.

The battlefield will take up the entire school. Entering through the main entrance, left side second classroom, the video room, there will be a safety armory, where the participants can dress, prepare their replicas, and also rent airsoft guns.

Participants will have to pay ten euros for the entrance, with insurance and snack included. Everybody will be allowed. The rental cost of replicas will be about ten euros: three types of automatic electric gun to choose, three hi-cap magazines and goggles. Others supplies will be sold for a reasonable price. And of course, participants can bring their own replicas. People who breaks local objects, such as windows, doors, rented replicas, etc., will be penalized.

We will publish advertisements in the forums of airsoft communities of Barcelona.

END OF YEAR EVENT

For the end of the year, we, 1st of Bat students have thought about doing an event. The objective is to raise money for the trip of the end year. We have two options:

DOING A CONCERT

What to do?

We have thought about doing a concert. So as to entertain more, we can do a pupurri of different people of the school, those who play an instrument.  Thus, artists in school can show their talents, and the audience will see different performances.

Venue

The concert would be in the Hall. There is a lot of space, and a good system of sound.

When?

The best day, would be on Friday afternoon. Thus, people could relax and enjoy a little bit after a long and hard week.

Price

The price for tickets would be 8€, including a pica- pica and one drink. You can take the tickets in front of the Hall.

DOING A DANCE PARTY

What to do?

We have thought about doing a party dance. It would be compulsory to have a partner, and also wear formal clothes, like suit and tie for boys and dress for girls. People that assist with informal clothes would be kept out. In addition, we have thought about doing a contest of dance, and the best couple of dancers would gain 50€.

Venue

The dance party would be in the gym. Thereby we would have more space for dance, and for the jury of the contest.

When?

The best day would be Friday night, around 9:30 pm.

Price

The price for the ticket would be 10€, including: a pica-pica, one drink, and a photo of the couples. You can take the ticket in the secretary.

Report

 
After several meetings and deliberations, the Sil events comittee has eventually decided to suggest the following party proposals:

SPACE PARTY

Summer rescue

One summer summer evening, while me I and my colleague were doing a walk in a forest near our small village I've turned my head up and I've seen saw a small comet falling in our direction. I became rooted to the spoot. My firend Joey looked at me and then he directed his gize gaze at that approaching object. My body was paralized but my thoughts was were rushing wildly across my head.   I'd was still looking even so Joey was conscient about the danger. He grabbed my arm and we started to run. When we had been running like madmen we felt an impact of some heavy object nearly and an explosive wave reached ourselves and made us fall down. When we got right, with only one exchange of glances we decided to go far away from there. One time Once we arrived to the village I realized how fast was my heart was beating and what just had happened. It was such a shocking expirience myself. Instantly I thought in of Joey, my private rescue party. So I looked for him and I saw him streched out on the grass. I started to laugh because I've had seen a banana skin next to him. That evening had happend too many things.

STORY

I was in the field where we used to go in spring, near a small town called Salisbury. My two cousins ​​and I were playing hide and seek. Marc hid behind a tree and we didn’t see him. "Marc! Do not go away", I said. 

About seven in the evening when night fell, we went to house home, but Marc was not there ...

It was night, everything was in completely darkness. We searched him for an hour, but we didn’t found it find him. Suddenly, we heard cries for help. We go ran faster, and there he was my cousin. He had fallen down and a trap to catch rabbits had caught his leg. We try tried to remove the leg from there, as fast as we could, to take him to home.

Finally our parents came for across the field and took Marc to the hospital. Since that day, I haven’t gone anymore to that field…

Quite good. Watch out with verbal tenses!

Rescue in the forest

We were into the forest, when suddenly a very loud and strange noise sounded. We saw and strange shadow so, my friends and I started running without looking back.

After some meters running, one of my friends stumbled and fell in a very very deep hole. When he crashed with against the floor, he started shouting… I poked my head and I saw his shinbone out of his place, he had broken it.

He couldn’t stop shouting; it seemed to be really painful. And when we thought that nothing could be worse, another boy started to feel bad and he became dizzy and fainted.

Seconds later, my best friend remembered that, the boy who fainted had a phone in his back pad. We got it and were able to call the emergency services for asking to ask them to rescue us. Some minutes later they arrived and took us to the hospital. Finally all was fine, except for the broken leg of my friend.


Very good!

Danger in the rainforest

It was getting darker and darker as I was waiting anxiously for help to come. My friend Sharon was fast asleep in her tent, completey still. I checked for the tenth time in the last five minutes the injury of her wrist. The bite of the snake was scarlet red and the wound was alarmingly bright. "Why aren't they here yet?" I wondered.

The nightmare started that midday. Sharon was gathering some wood while I was looking at some notes our mates took the day before about the local flora. Suddently, I heard Sharon screaming and I started running towards her. When I found her, she was white as a corpse and her eyes were wide open. I didin't need to asked her what had happened; the snake bite caught my eye inmediatly. I took her back to the campsite. We didn't know whether the animal was poisonous or not, so, as not to take any risk, I washed her wound the best I could and suck the possible poison out of it. Then I took my walkie talkie and called for aid.

When I thought it was over for Sharon, I heard the voices of my mates. Together, we brought her to a boat that would bring her back to civilization in less than to two hours. I was sure it was not going to work, that in was too late but, fortunately, the poison of the snake wasn't lethal. Sharon was safe and sound when we got through our work.

Awesome!

An informal letter

  Dear Hannah, 
 Today it's my fifth day in Oxford. I went on Friday and I'll stay 3 more weeks here, in an English family doing a lengueage course.
It's so sad that you couldn't come with me over there: I'm having a lot of fun and I've known awsome people, until now. The atmosphere is amazing, even so we do 3 hours of class every day.
Probably I'm in one of the funniest groups here and also, we have the best langueage level comparing with the rest of the groups. Because of that practicing our langueage abilities are a pleasure. 
I'm having a lot of fun and I've known some atractive girls too...
 All in all, I hope meet you as soon as I'll be back. We can go to the beach one day. It would be great to see you again, this time below shining sun.
  Love

If you could do that, we could meet you wherever you want, we know very well the underground plane. So we’re at your disposal. We’ll live London on Sunday, the plane takes off at 9:00 pm. Hope to see you before.

Advantages and disadvantages of moving to a foreign country

Nowadays, many people are moving from their homeland to other countries. This happens for many reasons but most of the emigration is due to economical issues. Then we can understand why people is leaving but, which are the advantages and drawbacks of moving to a foreign country?

Moving away from your land to another may be an excellent opportunity to find work. Many emerging Markets are looking for prepared people so as to work in their enterprises. Besides, living in a foreign country will enrich your culture and, furthermore, if you’re planning to root there and having children, there’re some studies saying that bilingualism is great for their development.

On the other hand, living in a different country may be tough and you can feel homesick, especially if your adopted country is quite more different than your homeland. In addition, you may have no luck and you don’t find a work. Moving to a foreign country can be quite tricky and dangerous.

To sum up, moving away is something that has good things and bad things. In my opinion, this is something you really need to think about if you want to do it; you’ve got to be sure about what are you going to do before taking any decision.

Discussion essay: Many people move permanantly to a foreing country

Nowadays, many people move permanantly to a foreig coutry. It can be because that people have problems in his own country, like economic problems. The better way to move are always developed countries like United States.

There can be a lot of advantages to move away to other country. First of all, vast majority of people that move to another country it's to solucionate personal problems so they can have a better life. Secondly, travel to another country can meet diferent culture of many people, and it, can be fun. Finally, you can learn a lot of think living in another way.

On the other hand, moving away has some drawback as well. Firstly you leave all your family and your habit. On the top of that, you miss the warmth and support of all people known, and you can end up feeling quite lonely and homesick.Lastly, moving away is not always solucionate the problems that obligated you to move.

From my point of view, moving to another country is good. Forthermore, it is something that everyone has to do at some stages, because it can be successfull. However, move away can be better if you have the suport of somebody in the other country that permit you get used to the new rutine easily.

MANY PEOPLE MOVE PERMANENTLY TO A FOREING COUNTRY

In our time a lot of people move away from their homelands or places in which they grew up abroad, to the unknown. They aren’t a specific group of people; these people are students, working people, pensioners, anyone who can afford it.

  For many people emigration is a chance, an opportunity of better life. All the people who suffers unemployment, poor wages, injustice or another citizen’s problems.

However, not only unhappy persons decide move to foreign countries. Some people only emigrates or bought a house abroad because they like the place. On the other hand there are voyagers, people who travels from country to country constantly for their own pleasure.

  Nevertheless, an immigration could turn into a serious problem; Spain is an example of this. Although the restrictions that a country accomplishes would tease to simply travelers or decent people who wants to change their  daily entourage. The migration fluxes also could induce an aggravation of familiar relationships.

  All in all, I think the migrations are indispensable in our today society: the people need to travel and move away form their routine.
 My family and I are an adequate examples of permanently moving people. We’ve moved to Spain five years ago because my parents fallen in love in Spain. And this year, I’m living here, in Barcelona, alone, far away from all my family.

MANY PEOPLE MOVE PERMANENTLY TO A FOREING COUNTRY. ESSAY

Moving to another country is beginning to be something common. Most of the people that move do it because they are offered a better job or they want to find a job. Therefore, the fact of changing the place where you live implies a change on their lives that most people accept.

On one hand, moving to another country has some advantages. Firstly, you can improve, or learn a new language, costumes, way of life… As well as that, it could be a new experience for get used to living with other people, in case that you share home. Finally, changing country nowadays it is a good way to enter in the multicultural world where we live.

On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages. First of all, it could be difficult get used to the new manners and to the native people. Moreover, start to learning a language, could be very difficult, especially if you don’t know anybody. Lastly, you can have some problems to get a job, and also you may realize that you don’t have the support of your family.

To conclude, moving to a foreigner country, if you are a person who like’s try new experiences and knew challenges, is probably a good thing.

In my opinion, I strongly recommend people to open up to new experiences and travel, which is the future for that people who wants to be recognized.

Discussion essay

Nowadays in our society going abroad it is a very usual thing because of the globalization. It is a common thing, for example, that an English person goes to Germany to work or the other way round. This situation has advantages and drawbacks.

To start with this situation allows you to know new countries, new people, new traditions and new societies. Moreover, if you are able to travelling abroad you will have more opportunities of having work than other people that only want to work in their city. You will also have a bit more of independence if you decide going abroad because you will not be with your family and you will have to make a living and get by to have a standard level of live.

On the other hand we all know that knowing a different language it is not always so easy, and sometimes there are societies where it is not that easy to integrate. Furthermore, living behind you all your previous life it is not so easy and taking that decision it is not very easy, because you are also living your family in another country.

All in all I really think that I would go abroad because it ‘s always a great opportunity and the chance of returning home it will always be there, and having the opportunity of travelling to a different country will not last forever.

Dear Hannah
You don't know how much has saddened me this message. I was looking forward to see yourself and spend this time with you. However I'll help you and your family to ejnoy your holidays in Formentera.
 So, one time over there you should go to the most representative local aglomerations like Sant Francesc, Es Pujols or La Mola. Many times at week  there are an artesanal market in La Mola. It'd be an interesting alternative if you wanna join mediterranean culture and bought some awsome souvenirs.  
On the other hand, Es Pujols is the home of intimate restaurants, bars and pizzeria's with delicious savories: something good for everyone. However, there are some nice little shops. But talking about serious shopping a tourist in Formentera should visit te boulevard in Sant Francesc.   I think you can find there evrything necessary for a tourist. If you visit Sant Francesc don't forget to do a walk around the village and see the local church, for example.
 Also resting on the awsome beaches you can do a lot of atractive and exciting activites as windsurfing, kitesurf or beach volleyball. 
 I think in this period the weather won't make you surprises: you'll find sunny beaches and clear sea water; how must to be. 
 Best reguards,
Michal

Subject: Re: Your visit

Hi Laia!

I’ve just read your email. Sorry for not being here, just precisely the weekend that you have come. You can go to many places, depending on where you are installed. If you are installed near the centre, you can go and visit, the cathedral, the classical art museum, the caves. I’m sure, if you go to any of these places, you will enjoy a lot.

Here the weather is irregular, one day can rain be raining cats and dogs, and another one can’t rain. So what you can do is, bring halftime clothes, and a raincoat, for when it rains in case it rained. Tell your mother not to worry about anything, you don’t need anything special.

Well, if you want to buy good clothes, you can go to the shopping center of Half hand square. There are a lot of shops, but they are very expensive, for example: Dolce and Gabbana and Abercrombie, or libraries bookshops and CD shops. Also there’s a shopping center near the cathedral, and there it isn’t so expensive.

Yes, there’s one called Chicoa’s restaurant, it is the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Also Besides, the boss is my friend, and he’s a very funny and good man. I’m sure you will like him a lot.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and I hope to see you another time.

All the best

Laura
