2. Look for 3 must-see landmarks in London you definitely would like to visit:

THE BIG BEN: one of the most important buildings of London. It's the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminister. The official name is Elizabeth Tower and it has been completed at 1858 following the design of the architect Augustus Ougin. To arrive to the Big Ben we must take a bus and leave at the Westminister Station and walk to the clock.



THE TOWER BRIDGE: the Tower Bridge crosses the river Thames, It consists of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by horizontal walkways. It has been built from 1886 to 1894, but at 1977 it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. You can get there by a very easy way: very near of the bridge is the London Underground Tower Hill.

THE LONDON EYE: the London Eye(now Coca-Cola London Eye) is a giant Ferris wheel to the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It's 443 feet(135m). It's Europa's tallest Ferris wheel and offers the highest public viewing point in London. It has been completed on march 2000 by the design of Frank Anatole, Nic Bailey, Julia Barfield, Steve Chilton, Malcolm Cook, David Marks and Mark Sparrowhawk. To get to the London Eye by tube you should get the Waterloo tube, which is about 5 minutes walking distance,

3. The musical. Choose two shows you would like to see and state why.

-The Lion King: it's one of my favorite Disney stories. I love the story and I cry every time I see the movie!!! The musicl must be very nice to see.

-Wicked: I see this musical when I was in Stuttgart, Germany. It was very funny and original, and the story is not the typically one. I think it would be liked by my classmates.

Oral TDR presentation

After seeing my video, I must say I'm proud of my work: when I must do a oral presentation in class I always feeling nervous, but slowly I'm feeling more self-confident. However, there are many aspects I must polish.

I should talk slowlier: it seems like I have pression to finish or something like this hahaha but it's because I wil make it fast and finish.

I must improve my pronunciation: I can make it with the website our teacher tell us, or asking my classmates how is the pronunciation of each word

Make it a little bit more longer: complete more my explanation and give examples

However, I thank my classmates because they give me in general very good notes(more than I expect). I give myself an 7.5-8.

Why we should eat chocolate

I must admit it... I am chocolate's fan number 1!!! And which woman hasn't conforted with lots of kg of chocolate? You know what I mean, girls!! So, here are a few benefits of chocolate. It's not all about the weight.

1. Healthier heart: many studies evidence that (black) chocolate has cardiovascular benefits

2. It helps you in your diet: dark chocolate is far more filling than you think, so it offers you a satiety feeling.

3. Happier kids: a study with pregnant women who ate chocolate daily their pregnancy reported that they were more able with stress than mother that don't consumed chocolate.

4. Diabetes prevention: chocolate contents flavonoids, which helps to control the insulin sensibility

5. Reduced stress: when very anxious people ate chocolate their stress hormone levels were significantly reduced.

6. Sun protection: thank the flavanols of the chocolate, skin took twice as long to develop that reddening efect that indicates the beginning of a burn.

7. Higher intelligence: it boosts blood flow to key parts of the brain for 2 o 3 hours, improving perfomance and alertness.

8. Cough relief: chocolate quieted coughs almost as well as codeine and supress activity in a part of the brain called the vagus nerve without negative side effects.

9. Diarrhea relief: cocoa flavonoids bind to a protein that regulates fluid secretion in the small intestine.

Can technology make a better world? (with Marta)

Think about your daily life. How many technological items do you use?

Hi tech has earned a lot of power during the last few years. It has been used in many areas like economics, society, politics, etc. However, it's not as good as we think.

On of the main problems is the massive use of technology of the children. Using electronic machines they forget about the real life outside videogames. Not like our generation: we had to leave our houses and play with our friends to have fun.

Never the less, tech has a lot of benefits: for instance you can comunicate with people worldwide, from your neighboor to your friend from Dubai via WhatsApp, Skype,...

It is also easier to spread your ideas with social networks and feel closier to your idols.

You can find the love of your life through meeting, e-darling, etc or maybe have a one night stand with Tinder.

In conlcusion: if you use Internet properly, you will enjoy all the benefits it can offer.
