SELF EVALUATION

I did my presentation with Joana of the Russfeiring, the party of Norweigan high school students.

We used a power point with somee images and keyphrases. The recourses are focused on the topic and these recourses (in our case the power point) supported the our presentation. I think that the presentation durate between seven or eight minutes more or less.

When I was pesenting I wanted to look my classemates and the teacher but it's difficult to do it. I think that in some moments I was looking on the floor or on somewhere that there weren't classemates. In my opinion I don't read notes but sometimes I looked the paper for remember the name or the sentence that I had to say. I did a lot of gestures because when I was nervous I'm restless and in that moment I didn't was quiet. I think that my audience were pending of me and my classemate Joana. 

We organised the ideas general to specific. First we explain the basic things of the theme and after we explain curiosities and others.

I think that I didn't use markers to make ideas more clear. I spoke too fast and I didn't think what I said. 

I used new information for my audience. Although we learnt this theme in class, I think we further more because we searched information in some webs and blogs because the audience don't would be bored. The information we had, it was clear but could been better because I could search more information that we had.  I show some examples. One information we used to new it was the knots. In class, we didn't speak of knots. We also explained the origen of the party and the meaning of the color. In class there wasn't this.

My grammar was correct although there were some words that didn't were correct. 

I didn't use phasal verbs but I tried to search new words but if I did this, seemed that I was copying fot another web. I use sensentce linkers like but, also, because, therefore... 

I didn't use fillers because I didn't want to use this. 

In my opinion my pronuntation was no bad but some words I said wrong, for example vehicle.

I changed my tone of voice but not for the presentation but rather because I always changed my tone of voice. I never speak with the same tone. 

In my opinion my mark is 7.

FAIRY TALE:THE MAGIC KEY

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Alexia. She was 20 and she was lovely, funny and extroverted. At that moment, she was studying marketing in Cambridge because she was a very good student. One day, when she went to her home, she bumped into a younger man. When she saw him she was surprised because he was perfect. It was in love at first sight. This boy was called John. He was strong and very handsome. One day, they met in the park next to Alexia's house and they decides to begin a relationship. They were in love and they decided to live together in Alexia's mother's flat. All was perfect until he needed to do one more step: He want to get married. She accepted this and three monts later, they married on a beach in California.

Alexia didn't know that her boy was bad. She didn't know that this boy had run away from jail. John had stayed in prision because he was a murderer; he enjoyed killling his wives because he thoght that they were bad to him. He always killed his wives with a key because he was a psychopath. He had to kill his wife on the 17th of Marc at 23:00: That day was the woman's birthday. All was faboulous until the day on the birthday. This day, he invited her to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday. She celebrated 21 years old. That night was very special. John gave a present to Alexia. The present was a key because he want to live with her. She accepted and later they went to their new house. The new house was enormous, with a big garden and a big swimming pool. It was the biggest house in the neighbourhood. At 22:54 he was beginning to get nervous and restless. At 22:59 they entered in the principal door and immediately he grabbed the key from her pocket. She was surpised but she didn't have time to react. At the same time he opened the door and jammed the key on the back of her neck. At that moment he opened the dor, he saw the dead girl's family had prepared a big party for her birthday. All the people felt frightened, concerned and out of place. Alexia's mother was unconscious because when she saw her daughter dead she recognized her boy: her boy was the person who killed her sister. All the family was in silence until they reacted. In fact Alexia's cousin closed the door and anoter relative called the police and the ambulance. 23;20. When they arrived, Alexia was dead and all was a chaos. John was tied with sellotape and the damily around him. The police arrested John.

PROTEST SONG

I choose the song Chandelier of Sia. I like this song because I feel identificate with the lyrics. Sometimes I need escape for all; If I haven't my time for stay alone, I'm very overwhelmed. I really like this song because in the videoclip, there is one girl dancing and when I listen it, I dance all the song!  It says she gonna lives her life in her mode. I think the same too. I think each person, can live the life what their choose. I listen this song when I feel sad, stressed and when I need comfort this song help me.  Chandelier says that in the life must to be free and this is my goal: Live my life like I decide and enjoy all the things and don't stay in my house with a lot of problems and finished hopeless.
The singer of this song is Sia. Sia is an Australian girl and she launch Chandelier the 17th of March of this year. This is the first single of the album 1000 forms of fear.

LYRICS

Party girls don't get hurt  -  Noies "fiesteras" no us feu mal
Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I push it down, push it down

I'm the one "for a good time call"  
Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell  -  El telèfon esta sonant, estan trucant al timbre
I feel the love, feel the love  -  Sento l'amor, sento l'amor

one two three, one two three drink

one two three, one two three drink

one two three, one two three drink

Throw 'em back, 'til I lose count   -  Demana un altre, fins que perdis la conta

CHORUS

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist  -  Viuré com si no hi hagués un demà
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry  -  Volaré com un ocell tot la nit, sentint que les meves llàgrimes es sequen
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes 
Keep my glass full until morning light, cause I'm just holding on for tonight  
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

Sun is up, I'm a mess  -  Ha sortit el sol, estic caos
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this  -  He de sortir d'aqui, he d'escaparme d'això
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

one two three, one two three drink

one two three, one two three drink

one two three, one two three drink

Throw 'em back, 'til I lose count

CHORUS
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier  -  Em gronxare a la llum del "candelabro"
