Description of my soulmate

Marta is my girlfriend, and she is 16. I spend a lot of time with her, and I really love all her characteristics, personality, and attitudes.

She looks like a panda, because she has long black hair, she is dark brown-eyed, and she has rosy and big cheeks. She is medium height, and I really like her weight, because she isn't skinny person and she isn't obsessive of losting weight.

She has a delicate, fine and light skin, and she hates her light, white skin, but I think that's so beautiful and that defines best her "panda" complexion.

She has a pointed and short nose, wich is defined best when her cheeks are rosy because she is shy.

She is so brave and energetic, and sometimes she scares me because her serious, nervous and cold reactions when she is angry, but a few minutes later she changes completely because she is sad or lazy or calm. She is so moody, and it is so difficult to understand her sometimes.

She loves spending a lot of time speaking with me by Skype or mobile phone. But her favorite hobby is sleeping. Yes, she is soo lazy.

She is a very sociable person and she loves helping people, and she so good at it. She wants to work as a social assistent when she finishes her studies.

I love all her personalities and qualities, she is so energetic and lovely.

TDR presentation self-evaluation

I wiil epresent how my classmates and my teachers think that I presented my research paper, and after that I will evaluate myself.

My classmate are really really good classmate, because a lot of them evaluate me with a mark over the seven point half or eight, and a few of they comment a bad thing on the oral presentation, but I need to be realistic to do a good self-evaluation and improve my english and oral presentation levels.
My teacher helps me to be more realistic, and comment me the necessity to improve my vocabulary and pronuntation, and she put me a seven point two, a really good mark for me.

I need to improve my pronuntation, because is so difficult for me and I practice a lot in my house, and in London I practice a lot of English too, but that dont found because each oral presentation or oral exam I show a baddest pronuntation ever. On that  presentation I think part of difficult were the scientific words. I needed to study these words one for one, but that was so difficult and the nervous of the situation did that I forgotten the majority of words.

That was the last oral presentation of the high school, and this presentation wasn't so good, but this one was my best presentation.

Is incredible how a person can survive on this concentration camp, being jew, because that religious was the first one enemy of the nazis, and I can't imagine how was that man's life. But the other incredible fact is how a person who lost a lot of weight in the WWII, who was tortured, and who lot his wife and sons, can be the oldest man on the world?

Can the internet make the world a better place?

The theme we are discussing on this paper is if the internet can make the world a better place, in all the ways, society, economic, environment, etc.

First of all I think that the social media began having a lot of good applications to doing the world a really connected place, and share with all the planet your ideas and things, but nowadays, it is a weapon for discrimination, politics and more world problems.

In the second place we know all the progress that the technology is making on industry, and that supose that all the people who work in industry, are could be dismissed because one machine or robot can do the work of a group of workers.

To sum up, I think that Internet and technology are good for the improvement of society, but they should have a few limits.

Research Project Abstract

How is each kind of wine elaborated? Which kind of wines are there?
Those two questions are necessary to find out and understand the third part of my research paper, which consists of the elaboration, typology and assessment of acidity of wines.
The two first parts of that work are all the theory, which helps me to research the difference in the acidity of every type of wine.
Thanks to the theoretical part I could find that these differences are determined by the type of grape, the time of fermentation, if they had one or two fermentation and if they have more or less carbonic gas. All of these facts are given because of chemical reactions.
