False Friends

False friends are something that I personally hate. Especially as a Catalan student trying to learn English in a correct way, false friends keep making me fallback.

So... what are they exactly? They are words that sound very similar, or written in a similar way in Spanish/Catalan and English, and that cause confusion in tests or in conversations...And I don't like that.

For example, the word "mediocre" in Spanish means something that is low and bad, but the same word in English it means something normal, something not excellent or very bad, simply in the middle. This word can make confusions too.

Another false friend is embarrassed, It means feeling ashamed but in Spanish or Catalan it is similar to "Embarassada", it means pregnant.

So,.. I hate them, everyone else hates them and they only confuse everyone, false friends must be removed! The World  will be better!! 

Emma, my bff

Emma is my best friend I met her at a Camp in Summer, we have been to that camp for four years. Normally she stays there only one week and I stay there two.

Emma is pale skinned and thin, but she is tall too. Her hair is like her eyes;brown. Maybe she is too thin but Emma does a lot of sport, she does ballet and also she is a runner. She always wears hipster clothes and I always told her she is that but Emma says the opposite. 
She loves reading like me and we share a lot of interest on the same books, and tv series! 
Emma is so kind and funny, She is also so smart, Emma is so good at economics and maths I envy her for that hahahahha.
She has a lot of friends. I met a lot of new people through her whats upp, and that's cool I love that. I met Marti, one of Emma's friends and all Marti's friends, also, I helped Marti to establish a relationship with Emma, but that relationship didn't work at all... but that's not my fault! I met another of Emma's friends, Marc, He is from Italy, in particuliar Modena, He is very kind! 
I never met him face-to-face, but I want to. 

I miss Emma very much, because I only see her at that Camp, and I hate that. 

Frankenstein- Summary

The story begins with Capitan Robert on a boat stuck in ice in the north Pole. With nothing else to do, he writes letters to his sister back in England. In his letter he explains how they had a sick passenger, a man they had found on the ice. This passenger is Viktor Frankenstein.
Victor explains his story to the Capitan.

Victor was born in Geneva and lived with his parents, his younguer brother William and his adopted sister Elizabeth. From a small child he was insterested in a science and what makes us live. He studies took a new direction when he became obsessed with bringing the dead back to life. He spent the next two years collecting body parts and creating a body to see if his idea worked. His experiment worked. Victor created The Monster. However he was frightened of the Monster and deserted it alone in the laboraty.

The next day he returned to the laboratory and the Monster was not there. For some months after this he was ill and his friend Herny Clerval helped him recuperate.

Back in Geneva, Victor's young brother, William, was murdered. The Frankenstein family servant, Justine, was accused of killing and executed. Victor knew that his monster was the real killer, but he did not say anything because he thought no one would belive him.

Victor went on a trip to the Swiss Alps and there he met his Monster. The Monster explained his story to his creator Victor.

When Frankenstein ran away, he found himself alone and ugly. No one accepted him, except for one blind man. However when the blind man's family saw the Monster, they attacked him and made him go away. He killed William because he was jealous- Victor loved his brother but not his creation. 
The Monster told Victor that he must create a female monster,a friend for him. After much persuading, Victor agreed. He went to an island in the Orkeneys to work. But, just before he finished his second creation, he destroyed the female monster: he was afraid that two would bring destruction to humanity rather than love each other harmlessly. The monster saw him do this and swore revenge... again. When Victor went to visit his friend Henry, Henry was dead, murdered and the people acused Victor of murdering him. Finally he proved he was innocent.

Victor returned to Geneva and prepared to marry Elizabeth, but was worried that the Monster would do something to him on his wedding day. The monster did not hurt Victor, he killed Elizabeth instead. Victor's father died from the shock of what has happened. Victor had lost his father, brother, wife and best friend.

Victor was very angry and chased the monster through the North Pole. It was at this point that Captain Walton found Victor. Victor died after telling his story. Captain Walton found the Monster next to Victor's body crying. The Monster jumped off the ship and ran into the Artic to dice...alone.

Personal Opinion: 
I think Frankenstain is an awsome book because it show the humans's cruelty; we judge everything and everybody without empathy. 
My favorite part in the book is when The Monster learn with the Family and in that part is when he undertand why the people run away when they see him. 
And the worst part is when Frankenstain run away when he see what he made, he just show us that he is a coward who can't confront his problems.

In Conclusion: I like this book because It show us the reality of the humans's behavior. 

GAP YEAR- A good idea or not?

In class we are studying about the caps years, and we talked with a girl who lives in Sydney and she was worke withouting doing a babysitter. 

It sounds great but is it a good thing to do?

I think is a good idea because you can take a break during studies, you can discover who trutly you are, and what do you want in your live, but is it necessary? You can know what you are without this break. But in this gap year you can work and pay year own debts and that I think is a good form to mature. For example: Go to another country and learn language as go in 3rd world and discover they culture.

In contrast you do this gap year between higher education and university, that will be a problem because in year re-entry to studies it will be hard, you are not adaptated in that level od study. But if you are working and practising English not beeing at parties and turning your gap year into an infinate holidays it will be positive, however it depends on the person , I don't know if it will work for me.

In my opinion gap year is a good idea but only if you do it after University and if you work in that gap year.
