Amsterdam 2012

Last year, people from the scientific Bachillerato went to Amsterdam on an exchange.

People from Amsterdam came first to Spain. We showed them our historical monuments like the Cathedral, the Giralda...and we also did interesting things with our teacher Gloria.

Once we were in Amsterdam, one of the most amazing cities I have ever visited, we met our host families. There were really nice and lovely. I was very lucky because my exchange student, Iris Cuppen, was crazy, and I love her.

We tasted the the typical Dutch food, like Hagelslag and Poferbges, but in the end, we finished eating in Mcdonalds the majority of the days.

We made some school trips with our Dutch partners. One of them was climbing trees. It was a bit frightenning for me due to my terrible scare of heights.

Besides, we went to many parties. They were much bigger than in Spain and we could get in the discos being over 16 years old.

To sum up, I would say that we all became really good friends of them. I personally did. When our week finished we all were really sad, but my exchange student invited me to go to Amsterdam in summer, so I saw her and the other people again and she also came back with me in the plane to Spain after a week in Amsterdam.

I`m sure we will see them all as soon as possible. It was the best exchange I´ve ever done!!

first memories

EARLIEST MEMORIES

The first time I went to high school was 6 years ago. It was the first time I was not at my old school where I knew everyone, but at a new high school with thousands of new faces.

There is something that I will never forget, to get to class on the first day, the first teacher I saw, was Isabel Celis, and surprisingly but true,she was speaking in Spanish. The next day I realized that she only spoke Spanish because it was the first day.

One of the things that shocked me was that there was a different teacher for each subject. It was not like at school where one teacher taught me all the subjets.

Furthermore, i can remember that there was a traffic signal in some parts of the high school. Once,i crossed one of them that said that i couldn´t get through, and my art teacher saw me. He was angry with me and i felt really embarrased.

Besides, there was a teacher who i loved. Her name is Adriana, and she taught me french. I can perfectly remember her entertaining classes.

To sum up, i would say that there were some thing that i will never forget as my first teacher in Secundary Education and my anecdots with traffic signals.
 It was a good year.

CHEATING

Cheating is nowadays one of the things that student do to pass an exam although it isn´t the write way. Most of the students have done it any time.

Sometimes, you can feel estressed because you don´t have enough time to prepare your exam but there is a solution for your problem: cheating. Furthermore, cheating has lots of advantages like that youdon´t have to study, you have more time todo other things like studying other subjects or doing homerwork, and you feel more relaxed if you have something with you, your cheat sheet.

On the contrary, there are also some disadvantages  like less learning or wasting your time on making cheat sheets. Besides, you can be seen by the teacher. When you are cheating you have to look to your cheat sheet and also write in your exam, so sometimes you do not realize if the teacher is looking at you.

Two years ago, I can remember that we took a Phisics exam with Maripaz in 4ºESO, and there was a problem that was a little difficult. I tried to do it and I thought I got it , so I passed my exam to a lot of people to cheat from it. When our teacher Maripaz gave back to us our exams, she realized that I forgot a "squared t" and everyone had the same mistake. In the end,she just talked to me and forgot about it.

To sum up,i would say that cheating is not worth it. It´s better learning and studying than spending your time on the things you like to do.
Think about your future!
