This project has been quite difficult for me because it is long and requieres a lot time (in my case) and imagination.
I decided to work from a blog which I thought was original and fun and more pleasing to the eyes. Thanks to the blog I could put songs and videos and make it more complete and coluorful and I have learnt to create my own blog for next year.
This work has helped me to review everything we have done during the course, learn vocabulary, to translate texts, to make a flash back in time, jajaja lol.
I hope I have done well and that you have liked my work, I think I have worked hard and I feel I deserve a reward ;)
thanks for everything Lourdes.

Anar, anar, anar! Hi ha diferents tipus de viatges. Algunes persones mai han viatjat fora de la seva ciutat. Algunes persones estan contents amb prendre el sol a una platja o potser caminar per una ciutat durant tot el dia amb un mapa i una càmera. Molta gent no ha pensat realment alternatives per les seves vacances, vet aquí algunes idees ...
charities now organise some interesting trips. People must promise to give you a donation if you complete one of these tripes. Some of this money pays for the trip and some goes to the charity. This year, one charity grup has trekked through the Andes, and another group has cycled around Iceland. You can see the world and do something good at the same time.
Viatjes per a obres de caritat Caritas són organitzacions de beneficència que organitzen alguns viatges interessants. La gent ha de prometrà donar una donació si completar un d'aquests viatges. Part d'aquests diners pagan el viatge i alguns van a la caritat. Aquest any, un grup de caritat ha caminat pels Andes, i un altre grup va donar la volta a Islàndia amb bicicleta. Vostè pot veure el món i fer alguna cosa bona, al mateix temps.
Adventures
if you like the idea of adventure, simply serch for “youth” and “adventure” on the Internet. You can find organisation like Ruta Quetzal, which organises expeditions for teenagers from Europe and America. The route is different every year: young adventures have travelled doen the Orinoco river and they've walked up volcanoes in Mexico.
Translation:
Aventures si t'agrada la idea de l'aventura, simplement busquem "joves" i "aventura" a Internet. Vostè pot trobar organització com la Ruta Quetzal, que organitza expedicions per a adolescents d'Europa i Amèrica. La ruta és diferent cada any: Les aventures dels joves , fan un viatge pel el riu Orinoco i caminen fins els volcans a Mèxic.
For a more eccentric experience, read The Lonely Planet Guide to Experimental Travel. Reported Joel Henry has written this imaginative guide for bored travellers. One of his ideas is to hitch-hike across a country wearing strange clothes. If that's too embarrassing for you, why not try this idea – choose a place beginning with the letter A and then choose a place beginning with the letter Z. then travel from A-Z. You'll difinitely have some interesting experience between Aberdeen and Zaragoza, especially if you are dressed like Superman
Experimentals viatjar Per a una experiència més excèntrica, llegiu La Guia Lonely Planet per viatges experimentals. El reporter Joel Henry ha escrit aquesta guia per a viatgers imaginatius avorrit. Una de les seves idees és "fer dit" en un país amb roba estranya. Si això és massa vergonyós per a vostè, per què no prova amb aquesta idea - triar un lloc que comença amb la lletra A i després triar un lloc que comença amb la lletra Z. després viatjar a la Z. Vostè definitivament tindrà alguna experiència interessant entre Aberdeen i Zaragossa, sobretot si estan vestits com Superman

MORGAN SPURLOCK was watching a TV programme about fast food whn he had an idea. A representative of McDonald's was saying that their food was nutrition and healthy. Morgan disagreed whit this, and he decided to do an experiment. He decided to eat in fast food restaurant every day, three times a day, for thirty days.
Morgan Spurlock estava veient un programa de televisió sobre menjar ràpid quan va tindre una idea. El representant de McDonald's va dir que el seu menjar te nutrients i es saludable. Morgan no estava d'acord amb això, i va decidir fer un experiment. Va decidir menjar al restaurant de menjar ràpid cada dia, tres vegades al dia, durant trenta dies.
At the beginning of his experiment, Morgan went to three doctors, who checked his weight and his health. Morgan was energetic, healthy and happy. Then he started his fast food diet. At first he didn't feel too unhealthy, but soon he was having headaches and stomach aches.
Al començament del seu experiment, Morgan va anar a tres metges, on li van conytolar el seu pes i la seva salut. Morgan era enèrgic, saludable i feliç. Després va començar la seva dieta de menjar ràpid. Al principi no em sentia saludable, però poc despres van començar els mals de cap i els dolors d'estómac.
Normally Morgan didn't eat many burgers, but suddenly he was eating them constantly and he felt unwell; he wasn't eating enough fruit and vegetables, and he was eating too much fat. A burger and chips with a large cola give you enough energy to walk seven miles, but Morgan didn't do any exercise.
Normalment Morgan no menja moltes hamburgueses, però de sobte ell estava menjant constantment i es sentia malament, ell no menjava suficient fruita i vegetals, ell estava menjant massa greix. Una hamburguesa amb patates fregides i un refresc de cola, li ofereixen la suficient energia per caminar set quilòmetres, però Morgan no feia cap exercici.
After twenty-one days, Morgan's doctors were very worried because there was too much fat and sugar in the fast food died. In their opinion, the experiment was dangerous and irresponsible, but Morgan continued. At the end of the thirty-day experiment he felt unhealthy, tired and overweight, and he was elven kilos heavier.
Després de vint dies, els metges de Morgan estaven molt preocupats perquè hi havia massa greix i sucre en la seva dieta de menjar ràpid. La seva opinió era que l'experiment era perillós i irresponsable, però Morgan va continuar. Al final de l'experiment de trenta dies ell es sentia poc saludables, cansat i amb sobre pès, i pesava 11 quilos més.
While Morgan was on the fast food died, he made a documentary about his experience, called Supersize Me. When the film became popular, some fast food restaurant changed their menus. They say that their food is healthier now, but Morgan prefers to eat at home.
Translation:
Mentre que Morgan feia la dieta de menjar ràpid, va fer un documental sobre la seva experiència, anomenat Supersize Me. Quan la pel·lícula es va fer popular, algun restaurant de menjar ràpid van canviar els seus menús. Diuen que el seu menjar és més saludable, però Morgan prefereix menjar a casa.

A survivor's story - Un supervivent de la història.
Last year I was working working my father on his fishing boat. One day we were about twenty kilometres from port when the weather became stormy. There were six of us on the boat and we were all in the cabin, watching the sea.
Suddenly, I saw a massive wave, I was very frightened. When the wave hit us there was a lot of noise. The next moment there was panic. People were shouting and things were falling and breaking everywhere.
Afterwards I was OK, but my father and his friend were injured, so we tried to help them. It was a terrible experience, and where we arrived in port the next day, I felt lucky to be alive.
L'any passat jo estava treballant amb el meu pare en el seu vaixell de pesca. Un dia estàvem a uns vint quilòmetres del port, quan el temps es va convertir en tempesta. Hi havia sis de nosaltres al vaixell i tots estàvem a la cabina, mirant el mar.
De sobte, vaig veure una onada massiva, jo estava molt espantada. Quan l'onada ens va colpejar hi havia molt soroll. Un instant després, hi havia pànic. La gent cridava i les coses estaven en perill de trencar a tot arreu.
Després em va anar bé, però el meu pare i el seu amic van fer mal, així que els vam intar ajudar-los. Va ser una experiència terrible, i quan vam arribar al port al dia següent, em vaig sentir afortunat d'estar viu.

Translation:
Aproximadament seixanta volcans erosionen cada any. A vegades són grans i a vegades són petits. Mount St. Helens es un volcà actiu a Washington, USA. El 15 de Maig de 1980, hi va aver un terratrèmol en l'àrea de Mount St. Helens, i deu minuts després el volcà va erosionar.
An explosion of hot rock, lava and gas, travelling at 300 miles per hour, destroyed everything in the area, there were floods and landslides, and 400 metres of the mountain disappeared. The cloud of volcanic ash was 12 miles high, and the ash closed roads 200 miles away.

Els núvols de cendra del volcà a 12 milles d'alçada, I la cendra va travessar la carretera 200 milles.
Now, imagines a volcano 1000 times bigger and more destructive, than Mount St. Helens. Imagine a “super volcano”. Experts say that the last eruption of a 'super volcano’. Experts say that the last eruption of a super volcano was 75000yaears ago in Toba, Indonesia. Plants and animals which were 2500 miles away from Toba died under 35 centimetres of ash. Ash from the volcano blocked the sun for a year. In this volcanic “winter” it was dark, cold and rainy. The rain was acid and there wasn’t much food. Only 5000 humans survived on the planet.
