Survey Italian visit

1. Many students said they participated in the activities indicated that they agreed with everything they did. Moreover no one said they disagreed totally with the project, so we concluded that it was a success.

2. In this case we see has also been good relations between the Italian and Spanish students. It caused people to integrate with us.

3. In this graph we see how many people were disagreement on this topic.

On the one hand many people thought they had difficulties and moreover others believed that it was not difficult

4. In this case many people claim they had fun and got along well with the Italians. No one complained about the project and all agreed

5. In this case no one thought that the subjects were difficult to understand therefore the explanation was a success and development of these

6. Here people think that it was easy to get along with the language and had little problems with this. Many Italians speak Spanish very well

7.They agreed that the outcome of the project was good except some small percentage that disagreed. But overall the project was good for many of them

8. All but a few people said they were confident that the project favored their learning and we use many means both technological and otherwise

9.They agreed that the work was hard and to prepare the work lasted a long time and many classes even took part in house

10. Here, people have divided opinions as many believed they did not learn much vocabulary perhaps because most of the time talking in Spanish with Italian

11. Group work, which is always difficult was pretty good on this project if we see the graph as many said they had been working well with others.

STUDY AND TRAVELLING FOR AN ENVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROMOTION

Hi everybody, it is our last year in Bachillerato, and in this year we are going to do Selectividad in June, at the end of the classes which finishes in May. In this course we have to study very hard because the next year we will go to the University, so this is the decisive course. So, for this year we hope pass all the exams and have good marks for the end of the year.

In April, we are going to go to Trento, we will see all friends who came to our high school last year. In this interchange, now we are going to know the Italian culture, and we are sure we will learn a lot of interesting things. They are brilliant persons and brilliant students, and we have similar aspects in common with them.

We will stay installed in their homes, not in accommodation. That factor makes we improve our English's level to communicate with them, due to the most of them only know a few Spanish and we will have to use English as common language.

In conclusion, this Interchange is a great experience for us. Thanks to that, we are going to know other country (Italy), to learn a new culture, new costumes that probably are not similar than in Spain (for example the schedule). We and the rest of students are excited and looking foward to see each other again.  

The last entry about Integrate Project. "The farewell"

This year, the Integrate Project's objetive was improve the expression in English, and of course we have  obtained it! 

As the project was treating largely, on our wonderful city, Granada, we have learned therefore more enough on it, though we have had very few time to do it (only an hour a week), and we have had to work in our house too.   

We improved our capacity to work with the computers, because the Integrate Project needed that we created one blog, and in it during this year we had to put some information like our hobbies,

our biography, our experience with the Italians, one delicious... So, we before could not use this type of tools (the blog) and we have finished being almost a few experts. 

Nevertheless, sometimes the task has turned out to be a bit boring, because always consisted on write an entry, so we think, Project could be more interactrive and funny. Also, normally we have had problems with the connection to Internet or the computers' performance. 

In our opinion, we have worked a lot, day after day, improving our capacity to work in pairs and to organise between us. We deserve to a good mark, because we have work a lot and we were fulfilling all the objectives for day (except when Internet was not working). 

To end, we think our teacher should put us a 10 for up half of our ratings. 

Positive experiences about the interchange with The Italians

In our opinion, we think that the experience has been very positive, in a first moment we did not think that the experience would be amazing.
In our case, we showed Italians the most beautiful monument, the best place to visit in Granada, The Alhambra and we were explaining the most part of it, as the Carlos V Palace, Lions Curt, Vela Tower, etc.
Stay ten days with the italians, have improve our English for comunicate with them, and we think to know new people of other contries, is something very special, interesting and amazing.
We stayed with them few days and we went to other sites here in Granada, and we think that they were
happy. Then, the rest of the days, we knew them better and made friends.which we were always.

On the other hand, the negative part is that we loost a lot of time of study and we had exams, so it was difficult to share the day in all these work.

Diego's hobbies

Well as you know, one of my hobbie is sport in general. I like sports because it encompasses many activities, but my favorites are paddle tennis, basketball, water polo and football. I usually play football and paddle more often than other sports. In the paddle I am really good and I play with my neighbors, my father, my uncle and friends.
I also like video games. 
My favorite game is the Fifa because it is about football and that is something I love.
I also love hanging out with my friends, when studies leave us. We usually go to the cinema, go play basketball, go to dinner...  It depends of the day.
I love watching my football team all their matches, for me the Atleti is the best in the world and my favorite player is Fernando Torres.
Besides all that, I love being with family and enjoy it.

Andrea's hobbies

My favourite hobbie is dance. I have danced since I was six years old in the school of Regional Dance of Granada. In this group, I have learnt how to dance flamenco, fandangos, sevillanas, jotas, jotillas, etc... I love dance and move with the rithm of the music.

Another that I like to do is play tennis and voley-beach. Tennis is so fun, I like run to catch the ball.

Voley-beach, is also so fun. I like playing it with a lot of friends in summer, without shoes and jumping and running so much. 

In my free time, I usually go out with my friends, and we sometimes go to the cinema, to the sport-center, to eat something, to the swimmingpool (if is summer) and something like that. 

When it's rainning, I like go to a house with my friends, and see a film, eating chocolate, baubles... We laugh a lot.
