Final Reflection

My English progress from 2011-2013

I must say that my English has improved along this two years. I already had a high level but there were still some details missing to make it better (I don't mean it is perfect now because you will never stop learning a lenguage). However it has improved mainly in vocaboulary. I have learned new words (a lot of them studying the proverbs and a few more doing my blog).
I also must say that I finaly have cleared all my doubts about all kind of writings. I often had problems to diferentiate a discussion from an opinion or a description. Now, I know how to write both formal and informal letters.
My main objective, right now, is to focus in my spelling mistakes and ,of course, keep learning vocaboulary.


My English competence in 2013

I hope my English competence will be entirely useful. I already have the First Certificate (which is asked to get a degree here in Spain), and this summer I will try to go for the Advanced CAE.
I presume that my English is good

NEW: Rafael Nadal winner of the Madrid Master's 1000

Rafael Nadal became the champion of the Master's 1000 from Madrid after beating Wawrinka in two sets: 6-2 6-4. With this title, Nadal has now three Master's 1000 from Madrid (2005' 2010' and 2013'). The spanish won the match in one hour twenty minutes after beating the swiss player quite easily. Everything went as expected. It was the 9th time that both players played against each other, and by 9th time Nadal won the match.

I don't like Nadal very much, but I must say that he is a great tennis player and I must admit he is one of the best (if not the best) players in clay surface.

NEW: Juventus, the champion; Napoli, celebrates the Champions League; Sienna, descends to the Serie B.

Juventus celebra el título con un empateJuventus celebrated last week the championship of the "Serie A". They finished the match with a draw but mathematicaly they are already champions. After so many years, finaly the Juventus has been able to get again the prestige it use to have.
The Napoli has become a new team in the Champions League. With Edinson Cavani as the star, he and his team entered in the classification after beating the Sienna who is now condemnate to play the "Serie B" next season. Right now, the fight in the Italian league is centred in the 3rd, 4th and 5th place. In the third place, Milan is trying to concervate it and be able to play the Champions League the next season. While the Fiorentina and the Udinese still have the possibility of getting the third place by winning the next matches.

NEW: Gunfire in New Orleans

[foto de la noticia]Everything was normal. Around 200 people was listening to a Jazz concert when the gunfire started. Nobody has been arrested but the police is looking for two or three suspects that might be related to the facts.

Your Say: Game of Thrones

Games of Thrones is a serie TV that I have started to watch relatively soon. It has been a serie taken from a saga of 7 books. I have only seen 5 chapters and I can ensure that the TV serie is as good as people say. It is quite cruel and very confusing to follow (at the beginning). But it has the clue and key to make an espectator keep watching it: the mistery. There is a wall, an enormous wall , made of ice and that it is secured by soldiers. I don't know how will it end but I think that everithing will change in a few chapters. I mean that in the just 5 chapters that I have seen a lot of people die and I think that the directors do not have any prejudices at the time of make someone die.
I hope that this TV serie won't disapoint me.

USA here I go

Next year I will go to USA. Why? Because I will go to study there with the luck that I got a schoolarship thanks to my tennis. Right now I'm doing my last papers before being able to go to there. I have taken all the exams I needed, I got in touch with an university that offered me an opportunity that I won't let her go. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I belief that it will be a great opcion. I hope it will be a great experience. I think I will have great stay.
I will study Business Administration, something very recognised in that country. Even though I am very excited I also have some doubts and feel very nervous, as I said.

Your Say: Is "The Great Gatsby" the continue of "Titanic"?

The gossips are that the new film: "The Great Gatsby", is the continuation of the famous film: "Titanic". In the known film Titanic, Jack Dawson is a poor guy that falls in love with a wonderful, beautiful and rich girl. But is an impossible love and it ends as a tragedy. Jack Dawson after the sinking of the Titanic, dies drowned in the sea. At least, this is the story that in the film is shown. But in the new film "The Great Gatsby" it seems that Leonardo di Caprio (actor as Jack Dawson and Gatsby) is the same person. It is said that Gatsby is waiting for his great love (rumors say she is Rose, the  from Titanic). But he will end drowned again, in the swiming pool.

It has been a dificult match for the blue and red team. First of all, they started loosing after a goal from Falcao. Then they had to play with only 10 players: Messi got injured in the second half and Tito had already done the three changes so he found himself with no way of equalize the match. But sudenly Alexis scoared the first goal for Barcelona and then, the Barcelona FC. had the luck that a defender from the red and white team scoared a goal in his own goal.

Today Fernando Alonso got a wonderful race. He won the Catalonia's prize and that one is his 32nd victory of his career. He managed to break the statistics wich said that nobody has been able to won the Catalonia's prize beginning upper than the third place. Alonso in just fourteen laps was in the first position. Firstly he passed Hamilton and Raikkonen in the first bend. Then he reached the second place after overtacking Vettel with the tactic of getting in boxes one lap before him. He could, thanks to the DRS, pass Rosberg in the straight. But after this, the race wasn't finished, there were a lot of laps remaining. Along the rest of the race, Alonso had a battle for the first place against Raikkonen. Finally the first place was for Alonso, the second and third place were for Raikkonen and Massa. Vettel, the actual pilot with more points, ended in the 4th placed.
