IMPERIUM CIVITAS


Hello,
most of us are a little bit tired about ancient history, because is boring, etc.. But now, exists a game called IMPERIUM CIVITAS, and yes!!! it's about Roman civilization. This game has been awarded by the town hall of Roma. You can build your own buildings and streets. When the city is made, you have to improve level of life of the population and defend it form the "barbarians". This game is fantastic, to learn something now and different form the Ancient Age, while you are playing. For example, now I'm playing in Barcino (Barcelona, and I'm trying make more beautiful the city, building some monuments. I recomend this game to everybody, because is easier to play, insturctive and more addictive!!!!!

Reservoir dogs


One of my hobbies is going to cinema. And one of my favourite director is Quentin Tarantino. His movies are a little strage and impressionant, but I like them. One of his last films I've seen is Reservoir dogs. Six professional gángsters are contracted by Joe Cabot and their son for a work. They do not know themselves to each other and they stay in the anonymity, hidden under names of colors: Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Orange, Mr. brown (Quentin Tarantino), Mr. blue and Mr. "Rubio". They meticulously prepare the robbery to a jewelry shop, but the police appears unexpectedly at the moment of the holdup turning it a massacre. All it makes suspect that there is a traitor infiltrated. Reunited behind closed doors in an old left warehouse, the survivors face to each other trying to discover who has lead them to this situation limit.

Dorian Gray


Hi people,

As we read the book called "The picture of Dorian Gray" I made a little sumary about the story:

Basil was a paintor who wanted to paint his best friend, Dorian. The picture was perfect, the best that Basil had ever done. When Dorian saw the picture, he became very surprised because of the perfection of the painting. A while ago, Lord Henry had told him that youth was the most important thing in life. So, Dorian was worried because he would become ugly, but the pircute not. Basil gave Dorian the picture, and he realised that his paint was becoming older but he was young.
Dorian found a very pretty woman, who was an actress. Her name was Sybil Vane. They both wanted to marry but during a play of Romeo and Juliet, she didn’t sing very well because she was ill. Doriant left Sybil because he stated that Sybil wasn’t an actress. As a result, Sybil killed herself and the picutre of Dorian Gray became ugly. One night, Basil wanted to see his best painting, but when he saw it, he became horrified because of Dorian’s face. Dorian was young, but his picture was quite ugly. Dorian became so furious and killed his friend Basil. Durig a hunting trip someone killed Sybil’s brother, who wanted to kill Dorian. Now Dorian was a murderer. For his fault, Sybil, Basil and Sybil’s brother had died. Finally he decided to destroy the picture, and, as a result, he died.

feelings after the paper


Well, finaly the research is done, and we (at least me) think that it has a meaning or an utility in future. More or less, doing that paper has taught me a lot of things, and also I learnt a lot!!! But it's true that we had a lot of problems because of the time and because of the difficulty of some topics. But, in conclusion, the project is done, and also the most difficult part, the oral presentation in front of three teachers. Now I still remember how nervious I was before do it, and how relaxed I felt after the presentation. After the presentation, all the class went to a dinner in Ampuriabrava to celebrate it!!!! we went to "Dolce Vita" (so original)and after we went to some publs. Now we are very happy, but also so stressed, because we are in the week of the exams!!!!!
