Today I'm going to talk about what I'm thinking. This could be the end of this Blog. Since 2014, I started this blog like a high school work, concretly of English.
In my first written document I did a lot of mistakes; so many, that made me laugh. It's weird to look at my old posts because when I read them, I can see how I improved during Batxillerat. My last post is more entretaining and it has more cohesion, connectors and fluency.
Also I'm going to compare my first oral presentation and my final oral presentation. Basically the difference between my oldest and newest presentations is my vocabulary and fluency talking. Now I can use a lot of new words and speak so much faster.
The idea of the blog, the purpose is to improve our English level. All of us, my friends and mates of high school are finishing Batxillerat, we did a lot of work to arrive here. Now, I'm looking back and I could see that boy that thought that he knew a lot of English, he thought that was and expert but he wasn't. I improved a lot, I'm not an expert but I feel that my English level is good now. I can do a writting in 10 minutes and speak and think in English like I never did.
It's incredible how someone can change in three years. I know that my posts are not the best, but that it's because I'm a person who hate do obligatory things. The blog should be an extra mark in my opinion mostly in 2nd of Batxillerat because we are so busy.
My best document is in my opinion the formal letter that I did. I have chosen that writing because it has good words, structure, the use of the verbs was correct and because my teacher put me a good mark for it. Also I have chosen this writing because it consists of an issue that involves all students of Spain, so I decided to make a complain. When you do complains you can give your opinion about something with more freedom, you can use your own words and write more faster than another writing.
For me, what makes it one of my best works is that it is one of the final writings that I did and in consequence it has to be better than another writings that I did in the past. Also like I said previously, my teacher put me a good mark for this work and that made me think that it is one of the best writings that I did.
I think, that this is my final post. Some day, I will read some of my posts and I will see how much I did improve.
It has been a pleasure, thanks for improve my English and thanks for read my posts. See you!!!

Formal letter
25 Calciners Street
Castelló d'Empúries, 17486
Girona, Spain
9th May, 2017
Office of the United Nations
High Comissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writting to complain about education. In the Article 26 of the Human Rights, it is said that everyone has the right to education. I agree with that because if you are born in a poor family, you can study and make the effort and become a succesful person. Education can change lives.
But there are a lot of types of education. There are countries in Europe, for example Sweden, that has a liberal education, completely different from our education in Spain.
Here, children are allowed to go to school abd study. But our education system is not so good, we spend hours of our free time doing homework, studying a lot and doing useless things that won't help us in the future. I can't learn, all we do is memorize and memorize, it's useless.
If you want Spain to improve, you should change education systems because they are so bad and there are a lot of inequalities.
That is a thought that all students of Batxillerat have. Also we have to do Selectivitat, another useless thing because it's study another time the same thing that you have studied during the scholar year.
I would appreciate that you read this and change this situation, not for me, for the other students that are going to Batxillerat. I trust that you will deal with this matter soon and I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Guillem Segura

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

My soul mate- life partner
Narcis, my brother is 13. He looks like ne because we have brown eyes, straight brown hair and a tanned skin. He also has thinner lips than me and small ears and nose. He is shorter than me and he has a thin body.
He likes studying but he is so lazy and has to improve but I think that if he didn't use the mobile everytime, he would show us that he is more intelligent that all we know about him.
Nowadays he is doing 2nd of ESO in Ins Castelló d'Empúries. He can speak English, Catalan and Spanish.
In his free time he likes to play football (he plays in Peralada CF) and also likes to ride scooter and to play computer and Play Station games. I think that he plays football very well and if he put more interest he would improve a lot.
In my opinion, Narcis is so exciting because he is all day laughing and doing crazy things. Also he is lazy, annoying and extraverted. I think that he is so similar to me in those things.
I think that his fault is that he is so bold and doesn't listen to you if he is in contra of something.
In conclusion, I think that my brother coild be my soul mate because he is so similar to me in a lot of aspects. Also I wnat to say that there's a statement that says that there are friends, a lot of friends but family there's only one,

Attacks on Gay Men in Chechnya
https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/05/10/attacks-gay-men-chechnya
This is a video of Q&A that speaks of the Gay men of Chechnya, a region of Russia. The problem is that the police of there are searching people that seems gay or that they believe that are gay, after they beat and humiliate them. HRW’s Russia expert Tanya Lokshina is investigating abuses there.
Here, in Spain, Gay people, I think that are more acceptated than other countries but there's always cases of abuse and humiliation on gay people. They have the right of be what they want to be, there's nobody that have to treat them like "aliens", they are normal, they don't have any problem, the people who humiliate them are who have a big problem.
I think that in a near future this will change and people will have the sexual orientation that they want without people humiliating and abusing of them.
