PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

My favourite series is “Pretty little Liars”. It started on the 28th June 2010. The main actresses are Troian Bellisario ,Ashley Benson,Tyler Blackburn,Holly Marie Combs and Lucy Hale.There are 6 seasons of 25 episodes in each one.It’s a series that is usually watched by teenagers.


It is about four teenagers who lived In the small, mysterious village of Rosewood: Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields and Hanna Marin, who at the beginning were very different  but then they became best friends and their leader was Alison DiLaurentis who, despite her popularity and beauty, was also the most manipulative and cruel girl  known in all the town. When Alison mysteriously disappeared from Rosewood, the girls quitted their friendship . With just an year after the disappearance of Alison, the girls  went back to be friends after the discovery of the corpse of Alison and because of some messages and threats sent by a sinister anonymous identity, known simply as 'A'.

I think that is an entertaining,original and terrifying series. When I was watching it I felt very scared.From my point of view it was the most scary series that I have seen in my life.In my opinion the producers should do a new season because the story is so successful and you can’t stop watching it.

I love it !

THE IMPOSSIBLE

My favorite film is “The Impossible” because I think that this film is very spectacular and dramatic. This film is based on the true experience of a Catalan family during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

It tells the true story of a Catalan family, when they start their Christmas vacation in Thailand, passing a few days in a hotel in tropical paradise. However, the holidays are interrupted when in the morning of 26 December 2004, while the family was in the hotel pool, a devastating tsunami dirty water invades the precinct so the family separates and begin to look for each other. Underwater, the mother is hit by runes to leave it ready to die, she holds catch the trunk of a palm, and thinking that it has lost all the family. That's when his oldest son, appears a few meters below the surface.

The film shows what characters do to survive the impact. The mother and the old son end in hospital because she has a serious injury in leg, while the father and two children stay at the hotel without knowing if the others are alive. The father sends the children to a haven while he runs the hospitals and relief centers looking for his wife.


I love this film because it is very beautiful and dramatic and I like dramatic films. The movie wasn’t disappointing at any time because it’s entertaining all the movie. I like this movie by the fact of the force that this family has in time to survive. My favorite part is when the oldest son finds with his mother and the final of the film.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA


One of my favourite movies is the "The Phantom of the opera". It is a very cool romantic film. Me and my best friend love tis movie. My mother thinks we're too obsessed and we exagerate too much.

I recommend this film because it's super great and i love the songs, especially "Music song of the night" and my favourite scene is when Erik lets Raul marries cristine. It's very beautiful because Cristine kisses twice Erik. The Erik's hideaway is a beautifully decorated place and very original. I wish I live there too someday.

The firts time I saw the movie was three years ago in summer in Blanes. It was dark and I saw it with my best friend and my sister. That was the best summer of my life. Since that day I've seen that movie 30 times or a little bit more. Every time I saw this movie I cry in the end.

" LOS PROTEGIDOS"

My favourite series is ‘’Los Protegidos’’, I love this series because it’s so very mysterious, the series talks about love, family and others.

This series is about five boys and girls, that they have powers, one girl (Sandra) has electricity in her body, one boy (Culebra) has the power that he can become invisible, another of the boy (Lucas) can be converted into another persons, and the two children, the girl (Lucia) hears what you think and the other boy (Carlos) can move objects with his hands.

They have a lot of adventures. These girls and boys make a family with one ‘’false mum’’ (Jimena) and one ‘’false dad’’ (Mario), but this dad is the ‘’original dad’’ of Carlos, the family are called ‘’Castillo Rey’’. They make the family because the daughter of Jimena was abducted, because she had powers. And there are a group of bad people that want to abduct all of boys and girls with powers.


But every times the series has funny moments, for example, his neighbour, (Rosa Ruano), she is very crazy JAJAJA when she wants to go in the house of the Castillo Rey and she makes many jokes. But also the series is so much dramatic because it happens so typical ‘’girl loves boy, but boy doesn’t love girl...’’ but not all moments are the same! This series is perfect to me, and I love the actors. I recommend this series for all ages, because it talks about things that they can make learn about life, and family.

RED BRACELETS


I recommended you, because it is a story that talks about superation of cancer, anorexic and more on teenagers. It's very entertaining and original. Sometimes I cried. There are 5 boys and one girl, in this group everyone represents something. The leader, the handsome, the intelligent, the essential, the co leader and the girl. It isn't predictable, you don-t know what's going to happening. I like it because is realistic, the teenagers of the series have the same problems that in real life.

It's call ''red bracelets'' because the leader gave one red bracelet to everyone of the group. He had the bracelets because the doctors put him before every operation. One of them died but I'm not going to tell you who. I memorized the lyrics of every song that sounds in any chapter, I really like it.


The writer of the series is a very famous writer and actor that had cancer, He only had a 3% of possibilities to survive, He's Albert Espinosa. The original series is in Catalan, but today it's translated to a lot of languages.

RECOMMENDED FILM

I recommended “Fast & Furious five”, because it is my favourite film and it is a really good film, I saw “Fast & Furious 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7”. And the five is the most realistic movie and spectacular.

This film is an action film, and it is about cars, the protagonist is Dominic Toretto and his band, first of all, he gathers all members of the band in Brasil and prepares the robbery a dealer. Dominic needs a fast cars to enter in the parking of police because the money is in safe in the police headquarters.

"La que se avecina": don’t miss it!

La que se avecina’ is a TV series that is on in Channel 5. It’s a hilarious sitcom about a block of flats where neighbours are so bad with each other.

In each episode a lot of crazy and funny situations take place. I’ve never seen any funnier moment in any other series. For example, one day one of the characters burnt a funfair while people were enjoying there.

The main characters are the president of the building, the janitor and, especially, one of the neighbours, Mr. Recio, who is always cheating the people in the building for money, and Mr. Amador, who chases any woman he sees or meets. Although these characters are very important, I think that if some other ones didn’t appear lots of moments wouldn’t be the same because all of them are spectacular actors.

I think this comedy is really entertaining and all kind of people should watch it as it’s great to relax and laugh at the end of the day.

However, I wouldn’t like to live with neighbours like those ones!! It would be horrible!!

 – INSIDE OUT


If you don’t know which film you want to see, I would recommend you “INSIDE OUT”. I know it is an animation film, but we can learn a lot with it. An advantage is that this film is suitable for all the audiences.

The main characters are: Disgust, Fear, Joy, Sadness, Anger and Riley. The film is set in the mind of Riley Andersen.


Ø  Synopsis

Riley had to leave Minnesota to settle in San Francisco because of her father’s work. She tries to get used to her new life, guided by her emotions. In the Cerebral Quarter (Riley’s mind control centre), the emotions advise Riley in her life every day. However, Sadness and Joy get angry for a memory and they are expelled from the Cerebral Quarter by accident. Sadness and Joy will explore Riley’s mind to save her from chaos, while Anger, Fear and Disgust are submerged in a discord. Anger makes Riley to steal her mother’s credit card and take a bus to return to Minnesota, while Joy and Sadness, after many adventures, come back to the Cerebral Quarter to get everything back as it was before.

Ø  Reviews

A lot of people around the world have seen Inside Out, and most of them think that it is a fantastic film for all the audiences and it makes you to think about your emotions and her value (adults).

Ø  Personal opinion

When I went to the cinema and watched Inside Out, I thought: it will be a boring animation film for me, but when the film ended, my opinion was different: this film can teach you about the life and the emotions, it is hilarious and entertaining. When I looked around me I heard some people saying the same as me. Some people said that it was spectacular and original.
This is the reason for recommending you Inside Out.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (PART II)

Last weekend I watched with my family the film “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II)”. It’s the last one of Harry Potter’s collection and it’s based on the famous J.K. Rowling books. Now I’m going to explain you the main idea of this film and why I recommend it, because I like it very much.

Harry Potter is the main character of the story. His parents died when he was a baby, so he lives with his uncle, aunt and cousin in the summer. During the year he studies in Hogwarts, because he has an important mission: he must find all the horrocrux and destroy them if he wants to kill Lord Voldemort.

Harry and his friends, Ron and Hermione, destroyed one horrocrux in Gringotts. After that, they discovered that one horrocrux is inside Hogwarts, but the castle is directed by Severius Snape and it’s full of Death Eaters. When Lord Voldemort knows that Harry is about to kill him, he starts the final battle. Harry is in a race against time if he wants to kill his best enemy or he is going to die in the attempt.

I recommend this film, because it’s very original and it has spectacular special effects. Sometimes it’s a bit terrifying, but this is necessary if the main characters have to pass lots of different adventures. I also like it because it’s a non-predictable film, so you never know what’s going to happen next. This is advantageous to make the film more and more interesting.


I had a good time watching this film and I hope that you also enjoy it.

‘THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’

I really like watching American series in English, it’s one of my favorite hobbies, and also I can improve my English. Last year, I watched ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ‘Gossip Girl’, and I really liked them. Two weeks ago I started another series called ‘The Vampire Diaries’, and I’m in the 3rd season! That’s the best series I’ve seen, and I hope it will never finish.

This dramatic and romantic series is about a girl called Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) that lives in Mystic Falls, Virginia, a city with many supernatural beings like vampires, witches and werewolves. Elena lost her parents in a car accident. She is living with her brother Jeremy (Steven R. Mc Queen) and her aunt Jenna (Sara Canning). Elena falls in love with Stephan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) a mysterious, new student, who is a vampire. Stephan has an older brother called Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder), but they don’t get on well. Later on, Stephan is controlled by an original vampire called Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and he loses his humanity. Elena and Damon are trying to recuperate Stephan, and finally Damon falls in love with Elena. I must continue watching the series to explain you more!


I would like to recommend you this series because when I started watching it, I couldn’t stop, and my parents are going to forbid it to me. It’s an enjoyable, spectacular and original story, and you can learn many things about ‘vampires’. It is a mixture between love and action. I love it!

EL COLLELL 2015 Ricard R. (1 BATX A)

El Colell

This last Wednesday I went to el Collell on a holiday house camp with almost all of my classmates. When the teachers told us about this, I wasn’t very motivated and I was expecting the typical ‘’campus’’ that we did every year on Begues; not hateful but boring and monotonous, but I found it pretty nice and interesting and I’m going to explain most of the things that happened there.

First of all, we went by school bus to Banyoles and we stopped there to eat our sandwiches because it was a long trip. When we arrived there, all the bus was freaking out because they were expecting a normal holiday house like Begues but we saw an enormous building in very good conditions. Once we were there, we went to our rooms to prepare it all and get ready to go to eat and to meet our monitors (they were very nice people, I have to say it). Once we past all this, the entertaining part started.

In that same Wednesday, after having lunch and hearing the monitors explaining how all was going to work and a few rules, we all divided in three groups. We had six activities to do on those three days that were; riding a quad on a little circuit on the mountain and laser tag, walking through levitating logs and jumping down zip lines in a vertical forest and something called group dynamics, and biking through the mountains and participating on an orientation race. On that day, we had to do laser tag and quad, and group 2 and 3 had to do the other activities. Firstly, we went to the mountain were there was a little circuit made of mud and dirt with two quads on it. There, the monitor of Day 1 (a peaceful and patient guy) taught us how to drive the quad and told us that it was very important to slow down on the curves because it was raining and it was all messy and we could harm ourselves. All the pairs that drove the quad did it pretty well, some ones faster and some ones slower, but they were doing nice until Eric and Jordi, and Pol and Gerard had to drive it. I really don’t know what the heck Pol and Gerard did with the quad but they got stuck with a tire on the middle of the circuit and Eric and Jordi didn’t realize that and went at full speed right to them. When they realized that they were going to hit them, Eric swerved aggressively and they dodged Pol and Gerard’s quad but then they were going right to the monitor. The monitor had to avoid the accident jumping away and he was so angry, but to make things worse, they couldn’t stop the quad and they hit the tire wall of the circuit. After that, the monitor didn’t allow the rest of us to do the activity, but he thought that that was unfair and he finally let us do it and it was a very nice experience. After that, we went to Laser Tag but he said that as it was raining, we would do it indoors on the top floor of the house and it was better than the other groups that did it in the forest because they told me that in the forest, the shooting scanner didn’t work correctly but we had so much fun inside the house (and the team where I was, won all the wars hehehe)

On Thursday, we had to go to the vertical forest and to that group dynamics thing with the monitor of Day 2 (the best of the monitors. He was so funny and kind). On the vertical forest we had so much fun because it was so cool and well-made. I went three times before to a vertical forest but this was the best one (the zip lines were shorter than the ones that I went before but the ‘trials’ were so much better and more original). After that, we went to the group dynamics thing, there we ‘didn’t have fun’ because it was a very serious activity made to know us more. The activity consisted of the monitor asking serious questions and you had to go to the right if your answer was yes, to the middle if you didn’t want to answer because it was too much or too private for you and to the left if your answer was no. If you took the activity on a serious way it was a nice and interesting activity but if you didn’t (like some ones) it was disrespectful and made you not want to continue.

On Friday, we had to go biking through the mountains and participating on an orientation race with the monitor of Day 3 (a very serious and quite guy). Firstly we went to the orientation race and it was mediocre, I mean, the activity was nice but there was a lot of mud because the rain of Wednesday and we got so messy. After the race we went to biking through the mountains and in my opinion that was the worst activity because; the bike saddles were painful, returning to the house was all an inclined road and it was hard to pedal, it was cold because of the mixture of wind and velocity and on the end of the road there was a lake and we could bathe in underwear but I couldn’t because I had an underpants with a hole that day (yeah, I’m a lucky guy). When we returned to the house after the activities of Friday, it happened something strange. When we arrived, I found all group 2 sitting on round on a fence and when I went there to see what was happening, I found one of my best friends crying and a lot of people of the group crying too. I was so shocked about what was happening so I asked somebody of the group and he said to me that on the group dynamics activity some of the people of the group couldn’t hold the serious and hard questions and they began to cry. It was a very strange thing that I understood a little bit when we were about to leave because they explained it to me but that was the end of our stay and we returned to Barcelona.

I have brought with me a good and enriching experience and followed by realizing a couple of very nice activities that I liked a lot, apart from knowing my classmates more thanks to the group dynamics activity. It was a very nice trip that I will remember.

EL COLLELL 2015 Èric F. (1 BATX A)

What I did while my classmates stayed at “El Collell”

My school organized a trip of three days for all the students studying 5th form to spend some time to see if we all were capable of being cooperative and respectful with everybody. Furthermore, it was also said that all of this was done to do some activities so that we realized our intelligence is not only about our knowledge, but also about our feelings. However, I decided I would not take part in that. So, I will proceed explaining what I did during those days.

To begin with, I woke up much later than I am used to and spent some time relaxed while watching TV. That first day, I dedicated most time on doing homework and even studying for some future exams. I knew that would take me a lot of time working, but I made the most of it. I would have been really busy the following days if I had not done all of it the sooner possible. Besides, I celebrated with my family the birthday of my mother.

On the second day, I got up fairly early as I had made some arrangements the day before. I am a person who is highly interested in politics, and I also have my personal point of view. I met my grandfather and we both went to a demonstration which took part with a lot of public figures such as the president of my country. What is more, I had lunch at a restaurant in the downtown with some relatives who I had not met for a lot of time. After that, I went to my English school as I had class.

On Friday, I met with some people from another school with whom I get on really well. We went to the cinema and had a lot of fun. All this after having spent the morning reading a book. It was called “Tirant lo Blanc” and even though I had thought I would not like it, I really enjoyed it. Finally, my father and I joined a gym in order to be in good shape.

On the whole, despite not having such a memorable trip as I guess most of my friends had, at no time I had the feeling of being bored.
