TRAVEL DIARY

Last April 4^th some school went to Germany and Austria for four days. This was an incredible experience and it also was a very stunning experience because we went to visit a lot of Concentration Camps. We could do this travel because a lot of teachers was in an association to remember the holocaust. So in this entry I want to explain all the activities we did.

·         April 4^th: First day, soon we took a plane to enjoy all day. When we arrived to Bratislava we took a comfortable bus, that led us to the cities we visited, and we went to Gusen, a concentration camp made before Mauthausen. In Gusen we saw a crematorium and a museum because it was destroyed by Nazis, but at the beginning it was biggest than Mauthausen. After Gusen, we went to Mauthausen, it was so biggest and all the rooms we saw was so sad and when I was thinking all the terrible episode that a lot of people lived there I felt something indescribable. It was a very tired and shocking day but I know that I lived an experience that we never will live again.

·         April 5^th:  The second day we went to Linz to visited the city and we also visited Salzburg, a beautiful city where Mozart was born.  The most stunning places we visited in the second day was Hartheim, a castle where at the beginning disabled of Austria was killed and then the people of concentration camps was sent to the castle to be killed. When we arrived and saw the castle outwardly it was very pretty so I can’t imagine the terrible things Nazis did there. At night we went to Munich.

 

·         April 6^th: The third day we were in Munich a very beautiful city with an amazing town hall. Then we went to visit Dachau, the first concentration camp made it by Nazis. I talk about this concentration camp in another entry.

·         April 7^th:  The fourth day we went to Fusen, a small city, where we visited the castle made it by King Felip II: Neuschwanstein castle. It looks like in a Disney movie, when we were there I felt like a princess.

 

·         April 8^th: We took a plane very soon, so we didn’t visit any place.

I have to say that it was very stunning and incredible trip, I always say that the best way to learn is travelling around the world, so in this trip I realized that it is true because I have learned many things. I also want to say that the teachers gave us a very incredible experience and I have to say thanks.

5 WAYS TO BE HEALTHY.

Long ago I thought about be healthier and I realized that I want to be healthier because I think that is also a way to be happier, to have more energy and summer comes soon. So I want to research information about it and do an entry on my blog. Some of ways that I found to be healthier are:

ü  Eat real food, not too much, and mostly plants. I think that many people think that to be fit and be healthy should not eat, but this harms our health. To be fit and healthy we have to eat real food and especially vegetables. This is something that costs me but I will try to eat more vegetables.

ü  Sleeping more. When we try to be healthier, sleep is overlooked but we need sleep like eating and drinking water. Now is exam time and some days I don’t sleep well or long but sometimes I’m so nervous or I have a lot of work. I just think that in a month more or less summer comes!

 

ü  Drink a lot of water. I really have a problem with this because I drink little water and the most important to health is drink water. I also read that drink water not only keeps you hydrated, it also keeps your skin looking healthier and it’s good for digestion and gives us more energy. In summary drink water have a lot of profits.

 

ü  Have a social life and do things that you like. It is so important to be healthier but it also is the most important to be happy, which is the most important: our well-being.

 

ü  Do sport. This is so important for a lot of things. Last year I did sport but this year I don't do nothing and I miss a lot do sport. When I finish the classes I want to do a lot of sport like running or ride a bicycle. I also want to try yoga because I found that is an interesting way to relax and do sport.

TYPICAL FOOD OF GERMANY

I think that one of the better things of travel is taste the typical food of the country. So in my trip to Germany and Austria I tasted really delicious food that I want to explain in the blog. Although in the title of this entry says «the typical food of Germany» I will only talk about the typical food I tasted.

I’ll describe all the meals in order, from the first to last day:

Ø First day we had to bring from home our food, so I’ll explain the second day. The second day we were in Linz. There we went to lunch in an Italian restaurant. I know that it also isn’t a Germany’s food but for dinner we went to a typical restaurant where the waiter was dressed with typical Austria clothes, because these day we were in Austria. In this restaurant we ate a typical soup that was delicious. We also ate chicken.  

Ø  He third day we was in Germany and for lunch I went to another typical restaurant where we ate a delicious sausage with a purée of potatoes. This potatoes was cook with an especial ingredients that made a delicious mixture. At night, we went to dinner to very renowned restaurant, where Hitler met to discuss and create the Nazi party. I have to say that the bread of Germany was very good and delicious but in this dinner we ate a very strange spread and cheese. For second dish we tasted a dough made it with flour, water, potatoes and another ingredients, the consistency of this dough looks like gelatin. There we also tasted the famous pretzel, which was really good.

Ø  Finally the last day we went to the same restaurant that in the third day. There we ate another strange dishes: a soup with pasta which looked as a bread in water but taste was good.

There was the new dishes I tasted in Germany. I realized that in Germany many spices used in cooking and everything is pretty spicy but I love taste the typical dishes of Germany.

DACHAU

This video is a project of school in which we have to recording us explaining one of the places we visited in our trip to Germany and Austria. As the video is explained in Spanish, I want to show you one of the concentration camps because was one of the most stunning things I lived and I’ll live.

In the video we was in Dachau. This concentration camp was the first of the Nazi concentration camp opened in Germany in 1933 by Heinrich Himmler. Dachau is located in the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory.

I can’t describe the feelings you have in places like this. I think that is so sad and terrible think that years ago in this ground the Nazis killed millions and millions of innocent people because they were different.

When we get inside Dachau we can visit different part of a concentration camp, for example we visit the prison, bunker, the reconstruction of barracks and the most shocking: gas chamber, we also saw where they did all the experiments using innocents life and crematorium. There was some places we saw, but even I knowing that this experience would be hard to see I never imagined it would be so shocking.

LETTER TO SUMMER

Dear summer,

I write this letter to you because I want you to know something. This year is being very difficult because I’m doing batxillerat and it is very stressful, there are a lot of exams and home works. I also begin to work in a butcher’s shop and combine work and studies is very difficult because it makes everything more stressful and tiring, but I like work because I think that the shop owners give me a big opportunity and I like it.

 

So I want to say that I miss you a lot and I need you to come soon. I miss your long days, your hot days, the relaxation of your season, the beautiful beaches… please come soon!

ORAL PRESENTATION



Last Friday in English class I made an oral presentation about the status of women. So in this entry I’ll comment my mistakes and I hope that the next time I’ll improve.

As I could see in the video I was so nervous, I think that I was nervous because was he first time that I did an oral presentation alone, but of course I always get nervous when I speak in public.

Another things I think that I have to improve is my pronuntation and body language. About body language I think that it is because of the same problem: my nerves in front of people. And, of course, another mistake are orthographic or construction faults sentences.

 

So for the next time I’ll try to overcome these mistakes and get better mark. But I think that I will focus on improving nerves, body language and my pronunciation.

SUMMARY OF OFFICIALY DEAD.

First of all the theme of book is avarice and wanting to be rich. This book is about a marriage, Colin and Julia Fenton, who have a company (C.J.F. Software Solutions) and another marriage the Bentley’s.

When Colin Fenton was in a business trip in Bentwood he meet in a bar the Bentley’s, John and Linda, and unbelievably John and Colin were physically identical. After the meeting Linda, who have a perfect life with her husband and without economic problems, have an idea: steal the jewelry where she and John worked. From there, the whole story is about how they plan the robbery although at first John opposes because, in the past, he was in jail for theft, but finally he accept.

One day Linda meet Colin and offer him ten thousand pounds if the day of robbery, he will be the alibi. He only have to went to Manchester’s hotel with all the documentation and car of John and forge his signature. So Police believe that he hast been, even though he has a criminal records.

Linda’s plan didn’t work because when Colin was going to Manchester had an accident and died. Colin’s body was identified as John Bentley because in the accident he had John’s documents. Everybody thought that John was dead. In this situation the Bentley’s continued with the lie but they have another problem: Mark Ashwood, the only witness of the accident. When Mark tries to save his life Colin told him to give a message to his wife Julie.

Mark who was so altered and concerned decided to give the message to his wife in person. But when the police give him the address of Colin’s house and he was there he saw another man into the house and he also realized that the wife’s name was Linda and not Julie.

Finally Mark went to Julie house when he saw in the news that Julie searched for her husband and tell that something bad and strange was happening. So Julie and Mark try to uncover the truth and they get it. In the end Mark and Julie get married.

SON OF SAUL

Weeks ago in La Cate, located in Figueres, perform for the first time the famous and award-winning movie: Son of Saul. This event was impressive because La Cate is a cultural entity that together with another association, in which some of our history teachers are involved to remember the holocaust and all the dead from World War II, gave us the opportunity of saw this film. So in this entry I’ll do a summary of this amazing film that reflect well the situation of the prisoners of the Concentration Camps.

This film is about one Hungarian Jewish prisoner, named Saul, who is member of the Sonderkommando. He was forced to work burning the corpses of all the people that was murdered in gas chambers, even his family and friends. Among the dead, Saul discovered the body of a young boy he takes for his son and tries to save the dead body of the children for the flames of crematorium to find moral survival. Apart from there, all the film Saul tries to find a rabbi in the prisoners to give the boy a proper burial in secret.

In my view this film is so stunning because in the film we can see a lot of images that years ago were real, for example how Nazis lying to get them, all the prisoners, into a gas chamber or how they do experiments on prisoners. I also think that the film reflects well the hard work of Sonderkommando and how people tried to find a way to find a moral survival to feeling alive in that Heel.

STORY OF STUFF. ANY SOLUTIONS?

Last Monday, in English class, we saw a video based on another video about the story of stuff, in which explain us the process of creation the things and where it goes when we throw it. So in the second season it explains the story behind the story of stuff, that’s where we’ll find ways to turn this situation.

First of all, the woman of the video, who explains us this story and try to give us some solutions, she say that she try to find a solution, so she read a lot of books about it. But she explain that some of this books has a mistake because it says that if I become smarter shopper and tell all my friends to do the same, I’ve done my part. But if we don’t are a smarter shopper, then is our fault the planet is being destroyed.

Then she explains that we don’t have the fault because we don't choose that all this toxic products are on sale or we don’t choose a lot of things that destroys the planet. Then she says that we have to try to change this planet but it is won't be easy, but if we do three easy things we’ll change it. First we have to share a big idea which help all people, an idea which suggests a new economy with new products and happy and healthy people. Then she says that all the people who changed the world they didn't do it alone, we have to change the «I’ll be more responsible» to « We have to work all together». Finally we have to put this two ideas together and then they took action. Then the world can change and we also have more facilities to do it than centuries ago.
