I RECOMMEND YOU ... Joan O. (3r ESO C)

I RECOMEND YOU…

This week I have just read a book called “Lo mejor que le puede pasar a un cruasán” that could be translated for something as crazy as “The best that could happen to a croissant”. It’s a comedy full of adventures for adults. 

Pablo Baloo Miralles is a man who lives in Barceona. He likes computers, smoking, going out with prostitutes and he is very messy. He is a member of a very rich family, because they have a company called Miralles & Miralles. But Pablo doesn’t have much money. When he needs money he has to ask it to his brother. Usually the request is unsuccessful. His brother is the president of the company and Pablo calls him “The First”. He is a hard worker.

One day, the First tells him that if he finds the owners of an old house, he will pay him 50,000 €. He accepts it because it looks like easy money, but he still doesn’t know how dangerous the assignment is going to be.

When he starts the investigation, strange things begin to happen. Pablo’s father is run over; luckily he only breaks his leg. Days later, a mad band kidnaps his brother with his secretary. But nobody thought that they were kidnapped.

First’s wife is Gloria. She speaks to Pablo looking for help. Pablo thinks that his brother is more important than the investigation of the old house and he changes the plans. He contracts a professional detective but some days later, the detective is murdered. All the family is very scared. Pablo is not scared and he uses the credit cards, car, clothes, and money from his brother. Pablo says to their parents that The First is in Bilbao, but it wasn’t true.

Then he enters into an incredible story, where he could die at any time. The book has an unimaginable ending.

I RECOMMEND YOU... "The Hunger Games" Eric F (3r ESO A)

I RECOMMEND “THE HUNGER GAMES”

I’m writing this because I wanted to talk about the best books I’ve ever read. These books are from the saga of “The Hunger Games” (by Suzanne Collins). Probably, the majority of people will have heard about them because they have been some of the books with more succeed in the literature history. So now I’m going to explain their plot and the reasons why I like all of them.

First, I’d like to say that I started reading this saga because I watched the first film on the cinema and I really loved it, so it motivated me to have good times with all those books. The plot is about 24 persons, one male and one female from each district (there are 12 districts which all belong to Panem where is dictated by the Capitol) who have to fight to survive in an arena designed by the members of the city who organize this games. 

What is interesting about this first book is that to keep themselves alive they create a fake relationship and they play a role to make the Capitol feel bad if they die, and it helps a lot at the end. I’m not going to explain the way it ends, but I just wanted you to know that thank for what they do at the last moments there are two more books which I’m not going to explain the plot because to know it you should know the end of the first book. If you don’t know it, there are three books: “The Hunger Games”, “Catching Fire”, and “Mockingjay”, and there have also been films about them.  

Once said all of this I’ve to recognize that I don’t read a lot of books, I’ve just read these three and some others, but these ones I’ve really enjoyed reading them because at the final of each chapter there are a lot of surprises which force you to read the next one. They are quite long, but you don’t spend much time reading one because they are too entertaining and they captivate you so you read them in days. I do also love this saga because a part from action, adventure and other characteristics they have love scenes, scenes with personal situations, etc.

Finally, I want to recommend to everyone to read the three books of the saga because they are the best I’ve ever read. I have to say that I’m not a reader, but I’ve become a fan of the books and films and I’ve get obsessed and addicted about all of them. So come on, let’s all read “The Hunger Games”!

MY LAST COMPOSITION. Paula S. (2n batx A)

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION AT JMJ

These days before our graduation, that was this last Sunday, I opened my memories cage and I remembered when we were younger and what we did. I thought in different episodes on my life that I passed here, in JMJ. I passed 15 years, 15 exciting ears, full of different emotions, friends, activities and compositions too!

So, when I read the title of our last composition, I remembered all the things that happened to me in this school, and there are a lot! Because these 15 years are plenty of different moments: bad and happy moments (that were the most). Moments that when we have 10 years more we could remember seeing the photos, or reading the dedicatories that we do when we finish one course, or the lab coat that the most of the students have it painted!

To sum up, I would like to conclude by saying that I’ve passed really good moments in this school, but the life go ahead and the next course I will be at university studying what I want. I have stayed in this school since 1999 but now is the moment, now I leave the school and that it will be my last composition at this school.

Bye JMJ, thank you for all!

MY LAST COMPOSITION. Laia L. (2n batx A)

My last English composition at JMJ

These are the last days we are going to spend in this school.

I’ve been coming everyday here since I was 3 and I will leave it when I am almost 18.

I am not really aware of this fact, in one week I will be taking my PAU’s exam to try to join the degree I would like to do the most, which is journalism. After that I will be moved away from the school forever.

I’m sure that, when in a few years I look back to the past, JMJ will appear as one of the most important things I’ve lived, because it’s the place I’ve spent almost more time than in my own house. I am going to remember it with a big smile on my face.

I didn’t always know to appreciate all that this place has given to me, because there have been lots of ups and downs during this 15 years: a failed exam, a teacher’s telling off or an argument with a friend. But also other funny experiences such as the camps in Begues, days spent in Portaventura and different excursions, trips to Madrid and Italy, all the festivals we’ve done in the school theatre, the walking around the neighborhood in carnival’s time.

All these memories are going to last in my memory but above all they are going to stay in my heart. I am happy because it’s time to change (as the song says) and we’re going to start a new phase in our lives, but at the same time I am scared for all the new things are coming to me and also sad, because JMJ has been like my second home. In fact, I believe that I couldn’t ask for a better place to study and I’m satisfied my parents chose this school, because the subjects are important and so are the qualifications, but we can’t forget about the values.

I wish we could see each other soon, thank you for everything JMJ!

MY LAST COMPOSITION. Silvia Vega (2n batx B)

My last English composition

During these two years, I have learnt a lot of things in all the subjects. But, sincerely, at first, it was difficult for me to adapt to the new situation: new school, new teachers who didn’t know anything about me, new classmates…

The first day of class I remember having a stomach ache because of the nerves. Then, to complicate more the situation, Penelope sat us in order of list. I was sharing table with Roger and in front of me, there were Joan Seguí and Arnau. The hardest thing I ever had to do is sitting with another person who didn’t talk with me and who really ignores me. At that moment, I felt really angry. However, now, I understand his posture and I suppose I will have done the same as Roger if I had been him.

After, I know better all my classmates and teachers and I felt more comfortable. But, the life is all problems so: “final exams”, that means stress, nerves and a lot of study. Although Penelope told me I didn’t have to be worried and that my marks were so good, I was really annoyed with myself when she gave me the marks of the first term. When I end the first year, I realized Penelope was right: I shouldn’t have been worried about them.

And the second year was really fast. We didn’t know how and, suddenly, we were visiting Italy and doing the final exams of the third term. Obviously, another thing that won’t disappear of my memories is the trip to Italy: all the places we visited Venice, Florence, the Tuscany, Siena, Pisa, Burano, Murano and all the fun we have. I will never forget it.

Actually, these two years came quickly because all the emotions in which we had been involved. Above all, the main thing I must emphasise is that I had the opportunity to know really good friends: that ones that you can count with your fingers.

 They will be worried for you when you have a problem, they believe in your possibilities and they never permit that you go down. They always make you smile.

I am really sad, writing at this moment my last composition in batxillerat, because I’m remembering all the themes we learnt with English composition. We learnt vocabulary such as: “I’m over the moon”, “I’m scared to death” ore expressions like “Not only did I appreciate my batxillerat in the school but I’m so unhappy that it has finished”.

Probably, you will say I’m superstitious for what I’m going to say, but it’s the truth. I consider it was the destine that guided me to this school, because when I finished ESO, I should have gone to the IES. Jesús Maria de Sant Andreu. At that time, I looked into the internet and I saw this school. I don’t know why but when Joan Marí talked about the school and the process to go to the university I convinced myself and my parents to go here. I strongly believe (another expression we learnt) that the best intelligent action I had done is choosing this school.

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Irene del Caño (2n batx A)

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION AT JMJ

Today I sit in front of my computer to write my last English writing at JMJ, the school that has been my second home for 15 years of my life, 15 years are said soon, but it is time consuming.  And you are thinking about some things they said last Sunday, I know that many people want to leave school, but in my case, they made ​​me feel at home and have given to me  a very special affection.

I have experienced moments of all kinds: laughs, discussions, love, stress on the brink of desperation, hard times and tears, pure friendship ... It has not always been easy, but it was worth it. The biggest thing that I take, apart from my education as student, is especially wonderful people. I always think that destiny has wanted  me to coincide with these people and not others, so it will be something. And although you can never say "always", in this case I am profoundly sure I will keep that friendship, not with all because it would be impossible, but with true friends.

Another aspect to thank the school is my vocation as a teacher, ; I lived a primary so happy, especially I remember with special affection my teacher in first and second, Pili, always so warm with me ... I'm pretty sure that if I had not lived that way and it had not coincided with those people, now I could be focused on another career. I dare say that everything comes from there, and then, of course, the way in which I have been growing and the values ​​that have been inculcated in my house.

For this and more, really, I keep the good things about these 15 years, which are the most of the moments.  After many years, I know that I'll stop at the school's door and I will draw a huge smile on my face.

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Daniel C. (2n batx A)

My last English composition

Writing a last composition is like saying your last words before you get executed. There’s nothing worst than having to count all the words you write cause that’s all that will be left from you. Fortunately, I won’t take it this way. Maybe it’s more about saying goodbye to an important part of our life: schooldays.

Before this weird start, result of writing nearly at midnight before a long day getting ready for selectivitat, I will start explaining how I feel. Nervous, exited, afraid or released are some of the feelings that I would search to describe me right now. 

School in general has been a real good experience and I’m so proud of what I have done here, but along these years I have realized that I needed to start something new. I don’t feel like coming to school anymore. It’s not a matter of comfort, but a matter of human nature. The school is a little bubble where you feel safe while the world is waiting for you. Everybody needs to grow, discover and continue the way on his own. Now the time has arrived for me. Maybe the future is not as good as I expect it to be but I do know I must leave.

So thanks for all we have shared and I send you all my best wishes. Being a teacher is an special job, it has good moments and bad ones. However, a teacher can change a student's mind and make his future different. I ask you to keep teaching with the heart and always cheering your students.

Thank you

MY LAST COMPOSITION. Maria D.P. (2n batx A)

Since I was three years old I am at JMJ school. I have a lot of beautiful moments in the school. I grow up here. In this writing, I can't follow the typical model that we use in all compositions. I think it's a different writing. 

I will start saying that I hated going to school and doing all the subjects that I don't like. When I was three years old, the school was something special. I met my friends, and nowadays, this friends are still here. I learnt to speak, to write, to share my life with other persons. 

I started primary... I was a brillant mathematician girl (it is so strange at present). 

Later, I started E.S.O. I felt so excited and happy.But, every time I closed more doors. Furthermore I spent a few years in down mood. For a few moments, when I finished secondary school, I felt free, I felt the winner, old. I had grown. I grew up not only talents also as a person. 

I started my last experience. Batxillerat. Oh my god! I felt so depressed during batxillerat... In my head there came all sorts of thoughts. I felt rage, helplessness, sadness... But, I passed this bad experience! For once in a life I am proud of what I've done. I cried a lot to get this, but I did it. I am very happy to finish this stage and begin a new one. I close a life of sweet moments like the first friends, first kiss, first failing, the first time I gave a presentation ...

I would like to conclude by saying that my way to school has been wonderful. I have met beautiful people, and obviously wrong people. I am very proud of who I am today and my profound growth in recent years. I'd never thought I'd say this but ... I'll miss school!!

MY LAST COMPOSITION. Marina P. (2n batx A)

My last English composition

Firstly, I want to say that this, is not the last composition in English that hopefully I do, basically, cause I want to do a test to prove and increase my English.

These last two years doing compositions I believe that is one of the most useful thing that I've done in batxillerat as it  increases my level of fluency and expressivity. 

All the topics that I had to write about, some of them are quite strange, but the others are more normal, but if I’m honest, all the topics that I wrote were some strange and interesting.

These topics make you think about some situations or experiences in your ordinary life that you or other people wouldn’t care for , obviously it’s a normal thought.  

One thing I’m absolutely sure about, the purpose that the teacher has had about doing them. All of us have values and we can take the right way in our life and make decisions and if we’re wrong sometimes it doesn’t matter because, always, even if we don’t want to see it, there is a solution.

Finally, I end this composition saying that I’m glad to do this type of exercises because, nowadays, I’ve got the knowledge to express myself better.

MY LAST COMPOSITION AT JMJ

All years lived in this school, remind me unforgettable moments of happiness, tension, thousands of experiences I will never forget.

Since p3 to 2n high school, 15 years in which I have learned to live, to know how to overcome all difficulties, to make friends, to help, to share ... all these are things that your parents teach you but that at school it is where you actually put them into practice.

If we talk about friends, school is where all those known people you saw for the first time in p3, have been slowly becoming friends, friends in whom you trust. Not all of them arrived at nursery school, even so all have been part of me, and most of them will continue forming it.

To sum up, I would like to conclude by saying that for many bad moments I’ve lived at school, this will be one of the most beautiful and special stages of my life.

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Anna A. (2n batx B)

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION at JMJ

That's my last English composition for this school. It seems impossible but it's true. This is the end, the end of my period here, and I don't know how to feel. Should I feel happy? Scared? Sad? I've spent my whole live here and I’ll leave a lot of things here but I’ll take a lot of things with me too.

I know it would sound weird because I’m very young, but what I’ve realized is that time flies! I am the smallest of my family and now I found myself deciding what to study in college! It's unbelievable!

Looking back now, I can see how lucky I’ve been. I have had great teachers during all my school life and I’ve learnt a lot from them, I really admire every one of them. Here I’ve met a lot of different people that have helped me to grow up and discover myself! Apart from all memories I keep in my mind of all the performances of theatre, all break times, trips... 

The best gift that this school has given to me is the group of friends we've done. It would sound typically but it's true. I really appreciate every single one of my friends, maybe they are not a lot, but they are enough for me. I've learnt that the most important thing is that you have to know how to love and not being loved by everyone, because if you don't feel, it doesn't have any meaning. It's hard to say: I have true friends! But I know I can say it. They've been with me always and I’ll never forget them.

Now I can just remember all the good things, all the laughs in class, all the jokes, funny mistakes... We are growing up, but I hope live don't change us. It's good to be mature and responsible, but I promise I'll never lose my smile or my positive energy! 

I wish the best to everyone!

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Laia P. (2n batx B)

My last composition at JMJ

All these years have just prepared us for one reason. Being whatever we want to be getting in the college that we prefer. But behind this huge objective there's been a lot of work, blood, sweat and tears to reach it.

Next year I'll be studying to be a nurse, job that I definitely didn't like the first time someone put it in my mind but then I realised that it was perfect for me. I've never wanted to be in front of a computer as I fall asleep if there's no emotion on it. Being a nurse implies a lot of work and responsibility but also makes daily life exciting.

High school has formed us not only intellectually but also personally. Not always the cleverest person is the best one. And we've discovered it through all these years. We've cried and laughed and we've found out who can we really trust. Friendship has been an important part of all we are leaving behind.

And as all starts, all ends. The graduation was the final step with all our classmates.We're not seeing some of them anymore. Now, we're facing a horizon, waiting for a tsunami that's going to catch us all. We can't run from it, it's meant to be. We are looking forward to being strong enough when it arrives.

Sadly, this is my last composition you are going to read. I know this can be sad. I hope some of the future compositions will entertain you as much as mine did. I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Most of my compositions were thought while I was in the toilet, it is my thinking place, and most of them were written ten minutes before I went to school. Actually, this essay is not any different than the others. Here I am, at 7.50 in the morning, wondering if I’m going to be late for school. This is a little bit stressful, but what am I going to do? I’m always doing things at the very last moment.

I hope you enjoyed reading all my random thoughts all these years.

After two years, the end of a very important stage in my life has come. My high school life has ended! My time in JMJ has finished! And this is my last English composition to you, my English teacher!

Since I arrived, I have written English compositions every week. I recognize that I hated it at first. I have never liked writing things in any language! But then it began to change... No longer did I do them so under compulsion!

I remember that at first I did not get good qualification, but I was improving. In one of composition I had 9.5, It is a very good mark for me. 

The compositions have had very varied topics, I have written about the world, animals, TV, important people, myself and more.

This is the last composition at JMJ! The last in my high school life! I finished this stage, but I will start another! The UNIVERSITY!

Every ending means a new beginning!

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Mariona E. (2n batx B)

My last wonderful English composition at JMJ

I don’t know how to start to write this composition. It will be my last one in this school, JMJ. I suppose I should start with the beginning…

Three years ago I moved to Sant Andreu and I came to this school. I was going to start a new period of my life and I was totally terrified about being in a place where I didn’t know anybody. Those thoughts changed so much quickly and some weeks after I felt like I had been there all my life.

During these three years, it’s true that I have passed really bad moments because they have been full of stress and depression because of the qualifications or because other personal problems but, I strongly believe that these situations have made me grow up as a better, strong person.

On the other hand, I have met amazing people and I have lived fantastic experiences with them. I will never forget my first trip to Madrid or my exchange program with USA, and, likewise, my last trip to Italy. But, to tell the truth, I will remember every day I have lived here because the moments in the classrooms are the ones which make you know who is your true friend, who is the person that gives you the biggest smile when you are feeling depressed.

We have finished a period of our life and, now, it’s time to face the future. It won’t be easy and we have to be prepared for every trouble in our path, but, I’m completely sure we will go on and we will reach all of our dreams. It’s time to conquer the world!!!

MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Adrian C. (2n batx B)

My last composition

It’s widely known that along this course each one of us has had many experiences. In this last writing I have tried to summarize briefly this year.

First of all, the course already began with the aim of selectivity. In the first classes, the teachers already talked about how we would do the exam and about when we do the exam.

Later, the course progressed until they reached the exams. Probably, there were the easiest exams, I would have to be tapped and get better grades. In the second term, the worst, level went up a lot, the marks went down and people began to worry about the course and about the final exams. Afterwards, we made the trip to Italy, which I explained in another writing. Then, we did the last exams. I could overcome these but it was very difficult.

Now, the entire course has passed and we are studying for the entrance examinations to college, it is the last effort and the last stage in the school.

MY LAST WONDERFUL COMPOSITION

After 15 years studying at this school I have wrote more than 100 English essays. They have been about Christmas, Saving the planet or just a formal letter to complain about our lost order. I’ve been thinking about all these writings, some of them better than the others, but all of them about my feelings and sincere opinions.

I would like to write “My last wonderful composition” about our graduation on Sunday. It was one of the best days of my life. Seeing all the big families, teachers and classmates in the school where I have spent such a special times since 1999 thrilled me a lot.

I was so nervous before the theatre ceremony because I was one of the presenters, but after some minutes I felt relaxed and I enjoyed of all the videos and performances behind the theatre curtains. One of the best moments of the ceremony was the final song. Dancing all together such a happy song was so funny and throwing our graduation hats was so exciting. After it, we all eat something on the playground and we took a lot of pictures.

As I said before, it was one of the best days of my life. I will never forget this school and the strong friendships that I have made during these 15 years.
