My last summer

Hello, I'm Claudia and I'm twelve years old.
Today I'm going to talk about my last summer. First I'm going to talk about L'Arcada, second about Alacant and finally about Platja d'Aro.

L'ARCADA'S CAMPAMENT
On 14th July, I went to L'Arcada's campament. I had a lot of fun and I met a lot of friends. In the mornings we got up at nine o'clock and we played games together. Then, we had breakfast and after that, the teachers prepared a lot of activities to do. In the afternoons we did gymkhanas and other games and in the evenings we went to the forests with torches to discover the Indian culture. This camp lasted for one week to 14th to 20th of July. It's the second time that I go it because I love it!!

ALACANT
After that, on 6th August, I went to Alacant with my uncle and my cousin Montse. We stayed for one week from 6th to 12th August. We didn't go to the beach because it was far from the apartment. But we spent a lot of time in the pool. Everyday, my uncle made the lunch and meanwhile, my cousin and I swam in the pool because it was very funny. For dinner we went to a restaurants and one day, we went to Aqua Natura, an aquatic park in Valencia. It was very exciting!!

PLATJA D'ARO
In August, I went with my family to Platja d'Aro to Xenia's apartment. We stayed for three days and everyday we went to the beach, to sunbathing and enjoyed the beach with friends. There, we met Clàudia G and Maria S because they've got an apartment next to the beach.After that, we came back to Banyoles. I'd like to repeated. It was fantastic!!







My classmates:
Laia: She went to Croacia.
Elisenda: She travelled to pyrenees.
Celia: On september, she went to Empuriabrava.
Maria P: She went to Andorra with her family.
Xènia S: She went to a summer school.

Did you talk/show the photos to the audience? No, I didn't. But I tell all the presentation all the time without look at the powerpoint.

2. BODY LANGUAGE/EYE CONTACT
Did you look at the audience most of the time? Yes, but sometimes I look the oral
Did you stop to separate the different parts of your speech? Yes, I did

3. STRUCTURE

Did you organise your ideas before start? Yes, I did
Did you use discourse markers? (first, then, later) Yes, I did

6. PRONOUNCIATION/INTONATION
Did you know how to pronounce all the words? Did you check the dictionary, a classemate or your teacher? I didn't check the dictionary because I knew how to pronounce all the words
Did you speak calm and slowly? I think too fast
Did you change our tone or you used the same monotone? I used the same monotone all the time but I try to improve this part.
Did you speed in a fluid continuum or with breaks and interruptions? I speak in a fluid continuum

7. SELF-EVALUATION
You are your teacher! What mark did you get?
 I think that it's important to do a good oral presentation and I think that I do this in "My last summer" oral. I preparate them slowly and well, because it was the last oral of this year. My mark is 8.5

9. My expedition in a mountain

Sunday 19th July
I'm going to go an expedition next Sunday. We're going to stay on a mountain in Kilimanjaro. I must take my laptop so I can continue this blog there, and my camera, of course!

Sunday 26th July
Here I'm in my tent. It's cold and cloudy, and we're staying next to a volcano. I'm going to take loads of photos because the rift is wonderful. We're going to enjoy the spectacular landscape later.

Monday 27th July
This is me seated on the grass of that beautiful mountain. We had a fantastic time, but the weather was very boring. I went to this mojntain last Sunday so I will go again because I really like it! We're going to walk in the mountain tomorrow. I must take my waterproof clothes, a first-aid kit and of course, my compass!
