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!

 

I know that this year it will a little more difficult because I have to work and I also have to do a research project, but at least I won’t have all these exams and home works. So I hope you behave as well or better than last year because was one of the best summers of my live.

 

I love you and I miss you so much, I hope see you soon.

Kisses Marina.

 

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.
