Beyoncé's concert
A few months ago, I saw Beyoncé's concert in Madrid. It was so amazing!
I think that nobody disagreed that Beyoncé is one of the best singers in the world.
In the concert, Beyoncé sang her last album "Beyoncé". The best song was "Drunk in love", it was so sweety and lovely because her husband, Jay Z, sang with her.
The concert took place in El Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid. Unfortunately I couldn't go there, but I saw it on video and, in my opinion, it was the best concert that I have ever seen.

My future
This year is my last year in high school. In September, I will go to the University.
I would like to study in Girona because I'm near my house than if I study in Barcelona.
In the University, I would like to study pedagogy or psychology because they are degrees that they appeal to me and I would like to help people who need it.
During my years in Girona I would like to live with my friends in a flat because I think that it's an experience that I never forget and it helps me to be more independent.
Before I finish the degree I would like to do an Erasmus because I want to know another culture, to meet new people and to learn another language.
Another thing that I would like to do is learn more english and get the first certificate or another english qualification and for get it, I would like to live in England for few months.

British Style
I'm a girl who loves style and be fashion. One of my favourite styles is the British style because the people are very elegant and always look good.
The english girls are famous for their extravagant style. They use a lot of make up, a lot of extensions, fake eye lashes and fake nails.
I also love their clothes. They sometimes wear dresses or skirts and high-heeled shoes.
The thing that I like the most is that they don't criticise between their for their way to dress because they have got a lot of personality or at least it seems.

Can Internet change the world for the better?
It seems that our society has become complety dependent on the Internet.
From our point of view there are more positive than negative aspects about the changes in the world because of the Internet.
On the one hand, we can know a lot of information more quickly about a lot of different things. For example, we can know the economic situation of Jamaica. In addiction, we are connected with the society, a lot of people find a job in the Internet, you can buy clothes, cars, etc. Moreover, you can see your family, your friends, etc throught the Internet. For this reason a lot of people use it.
On the other hand, to use Internet is bad for the society because we don't comunicate face to face so much. Lastly, Internet is a bad thing because it creates addiction.
In conclusion, we think that Internet is a good social media but we should make a better use of it.

Gossip girl
From my point of view, Gossip girl is the best TV programme in the world.
The programme takes place in the city of New York, specially on Manhattan and Brooklyn and sometimes in Paris.
Gossip girl tells the story of Serena Van Der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald and Dan Humphrey. They are wealthy teenagers that they live in Manhattan's Upper East Side, except Dan Humphrey that he lives in Brooklyn because he isn't rich, although he goes to the same school that the others.
There are a lot of romances in the serie but my favourite is the relationship between Chuck and Blair because it's a complicated romace because they are so similar and they are very proud and they don't want to recognize it. But I think that it's a lovely relationship (It remembers me the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy;)).
My favourite character is Blair Waldorf. I really feel identified with her because she loves be in style, she is a little bit insecure but she is very strong and she doesn't let anybody trample over her.
She admires Audrey Hepburn and her favourite film is "Breakfast at Tiffany's, like me.

Study of ADHD
Hello, as you know, my name is Marina Bordas and my research project is about the study of ADHD.
I decided to do my project about ADHD because I would like to study psychology at University, and it is a disorder that is increasingly diagnosed in children and some years ago it was diagnosed for my sister.
This disorder is quite complex, because many people think that it's invented.
This disorder is quite complex, because many people think that it's invented.
Attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common source
neurobiological that begins in childhood between 7-9 years old, and is characterized by
presence of attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Impulsivity is characterized by a lack of self-control or inability to inhibit behavior.
Hyperactivity is characterized by frequent movement of hands and feet.
There is no definite cause for 100% ADHD. Not all children have the same symptoms and the symptoms can vary according to age, so may cause problems about diagnosis and treatment. The treatment of ADHD is multimodal, that is, involves more than one professional doctor,teachers, parents and the patient. And medicines are dangerous, as there are many side effects.
Doing the project I learnt that there are many people who don't know what ADHD is and I think that it should be reported because, as I mentioned before, there are more people with the disorder and, from the point of view of education, I think that teachers should adapt exams and follow the protocol that has been established so that students can continue in classes , with good conditions and they are more motivated to get better marks.
