Hi everyone ! ; ) <br />
<br />
My name is Natalia Wilk. I come from Poland and I live in Zabrze - I have lived here since I was born. I'm 14 years old. I live with my parents and 19 year-old sister. <br />
I’m a cheerful and talkative person. I like meeting other people but I’m a little bit shy. I am friendly, tolerant and helpful.<br />
I like listening to music, playing the piano (since 2006) and shopping. I wanna learn to play the guitar. I think it is cool. I perform at the school theatre. My favourite kind of music is rock, but sometimes I listen to another kind of music. I love surfing the internet and watching films. I like comedies, horrors and dramas, for example “Saw” and “Halloween” or “American Beauty”. I would like to travel and see the world. I don’t know who I will be in the future and I don’t care about this now. I like swimming.<br />
I’m so excited and I’m sure there will be great in Turkey.<br />
I’m on facebook, so if you want to write to me I will answer ! <br />
See you soon ;D<br />
<br />

<br />
My name is Antoine Vaysse; I am 15 years old and I live in Paris, in France, near the park of Buttes Chaumont, which was a gypsum quarry. I study in Colbert high school, and speak English and German a little, I began to learn German fin primary school1, and English in junior high school, but I already spoke English a little before.<br />
<br />
I love playing video games, but I also love handball and basket ball. I like the nature and the animals, I have 2 kittens which are really cute, and they are named Shaka (the male, he is black) and Pouki (the female, on the picture)<br />
<br />
With my family, I went to the USA when I was 12; I saw the Grand Canyon, and many other things. It’s the only trip of my life and that was really great! I prefer science and languages and I like the design but I’m not very found of the other arts. My brother, Pierre, is 18 years old and my sister, Elise, twenty.<br />
I am very simple as far as gastronomy is concerned: I especially like bread and pasta, grilled meat, but my favourite dish is pasta carbonara.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My name is Yana. I come from Ukraine but I've already been living in Italy ( in Spello which is a small medioeval village near Foligno ) for seven years. I'm 18 years old and I'm attending the 4th class of a vocational school in Foligno where I'm specialyzing in fashion design because I love designing and making clothes. My days are always full and I hardly find time to relax. I think I'm a generous, self-confident and responsable girl, I like travelling a lot and discovering new cultures and that is why I joined this project because it gives me the oppurtunity to meet many people and their cultures.<br />
<br />
I greet you all and see you in Turkey!!!Mandi Vidalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269864201667999110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-70330226509750399082011-06-23T10:23:00.000-07:002011-06-23T10:25:21.187-07:00NATALIE FROM FLENSBURG TRAVELLING TO TURKEY<a href="http://comeniusletstravel.blogspot.com/2011/06/natalie-from-flensburg-travelling-to_23.html">Watch Natalie's video</a>Mandi Vidalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269864201667999110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-22120488711510180092011-06-23T10:20:00.001-07:002011-06-23T10:20:38.835-07:00SAMUEL FROM FLENSBURG TRAVELLING TO TURKEY<a href="http://comeniusletstravel.blogspot.com/search/label/G%20-%20Activities%20%28English%20Blog%29">watch samuel's video</a>Mandi Vidalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269864201667999110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-24934672996327662822011-06-20T13:58:00.001-07:002011-06-20T13:58:34.589-07:00LEA FROM FLENSBURG TRAVELLING TO TURKEY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y5uAfTzjQWw/Tf-0DFW9x4I/AAAAAAAAAG0/8AFNQ_n179M/s1600/lea.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y5uAfTzjQWw/Tf-0DFW9x4I/AAAAAAAAAG0/8AFNQ_n179M/s320/lea.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Hi!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

Not only that, but you also waste money because you have to pay for the liquids that you have in your own house, such as shampoo. However, they allow men to bring their razers and women to wear high-heeled- shoes, but you cannot bring tweezers.

I am nearly 16 years old. I live with my parents, an older brother and a younger sister on a farm. We have many animals, mainly chicken.<br />
<br />
I'm 1,76 m tall. I have straight blond hair, blue eyes and glasses.<br />
I'm a very humorous person and sometimes that is a bit annoying, but usually you can laugh much with (and about) me. I speak mostly only when it's necessary. I think I'm a very friendly person.<br />
<br />
In my spare time i like to hear music, read, meet friends, ride bike or play computer games. I am a scout and in the holidays I am often on scouting camps.Mandi Vidalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269864201667999110noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-5997892067074848482011-06-13T09:11:00.000-07:002011-06-13T09:11:38.858-07:00SCHOOL UNIFORMS_LOTTI VIDAL<div>Many people have strong views about the use of school uniforms. In my view there are arguments both for and against it.</div><div></div><div>On the one hand, uniforms stop other students judging them on how they look, as everybody will look more or less the same. Furthermore, it saves parents money as they don't have to buy new school uniforms every year and their children only need clothes for the weekends and holidays. Moreover, it means that children don't waste time having to think about what to wear to school.</div><div></div><div>On the other hand, even though some parents say that wearing uniforms is a way of saving money, other say that uniforms are not cheap, besides children are constantly growing up and need bigger sizes. A further argument against uniforms is that students at school need to learn to express themselves, and their wardrobe choices are one way of doing this. When every child is forced to dress just like all his class mates , he loses his freedom to choose how he wants to reperesent himself through his clothing.</div><div></div><div>In my opinion wearing a uniform is a good thing because no-one stands out and it looks smarter.</div>Lottihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16843445680640827106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-47381201384743773542011-06-13T08:47:00.000-07:002011-06-13T09:12:03.532-07:00Are Wikileaks cables controversial?<style>

Some people think a gay couple can't adopt a child and other people thint that it doesn't matter if you are gay or not, everybody has the right to have a child. It's clear that nowadays most people have the same opinion as me and are for the gay adoption.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, some people think that gay adoption has to be suspended, because they say that children should have a mother and father as role models. It seems that they are trying to say that being gay is not a good model, that is something bad. Besides, in the area that does not accept gays and lesbians, the child might sovially get picket on. Furthermore, some parents think that gays are like child molesters, and forbid their child to associate with the adopted child.<br />
In some areas, both members of a gay couple adopt the child and are considered legat parents, but in others, only one person can adopt the child, because a child is legally considered with only having one father or one mother. If the adoptive parents die, the child may be removed from the non-adoptive father. In addition to all this, people also say that "homosexual relationships don't last very long".<br />
<br />
On the other hand, others believe that a gay couple are able to adopt a child. Because it is not just the parents who influence a child's behavior, society also plays a role in their upbringing. Furthermore, most children get picked because of something else, like being chubby or looking differents. It also has been proven that more heterosexuals molest their children.<br />
Another reason is that it is natural for couples who can't have children through sex to adopt children. When they say that a child will be removed if the legal parents dies, actually the same thing would happen if a single parent adopted both parents in a heterosexual relationship became deceased.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, I think if people want to adopt they should. I think that if straight people are allowed to adopt children, homosexuals are also allowed, if they really want a family why can't they have it? They just help children, care for them and love them and they don't hurt anyoneisabelvandergraafhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10257042542465187143noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-47392780455110226722011-06-12T00:46:00.000-07:002011-06-13T09:12:42.464-07:00Two door cinema club "What you know"<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6WzsEynOfio" width="425"></iframe></div>Let's travel!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14888483784738853074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-91639739616300382002011-06-11T02:13:00.000-07:002011-06-13T09:13:19.278-07:00Euthanasia, is it a right or a crime?- Yannick RosellóEuthanasia, is it a right or a crime? Euthanasia is used when very ill people with no cure and who suffer a lot of pain decide to be killed or to have a more pleasant death. For this, certain drugs or poisons are used. This death is quick and not painful. There’s a big discussion about euthanasia being legal or illegal.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, people have the right to decide when they want to die, if you are ill and you’re going to die anyway, perhaps it’s better to have an earlier but quicker and more pleasant death than a slower and painful one. Moreover, it’s unpleasant for the relatives to see their loved ones in pain or agony. Euthanasia gives you the chance to die with dignity, you can die wherever you want, whenever you want and with whoever you want. Besides, there’s no sense to keep people alive beyond their natural life span, if a person has no chance to survive and can’t do anything, it’s OK to let him die.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, people might receive euthanasia against their will, in this case, it’s just like a murder. Sometimes a person might recover from an illness against all odds, perhaps the doctor got confused or was simply wrong, we’re human and we can always make mistakes. Then, some doctors are against euthanasia, their job is to try to save people’s live and make it better, everyone has his own point of view, so perhaps some doctors wouldn’t agree to kill somebody. Euthanasia is voluntary, however, some people might feel pressured to kill themselves, even though they don’t really want to die.<br />
<br />
To sum up, as in many other dilemmas, there are many different points of view, each one with their own arguments for and against. In my opinion euthanasia should be legal, people should be free to die whenever they want. However, euthanasia should be extremely controlled, no one must die against their will or pressured by someone else.Y.Rosellóhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07784340324595904577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-3107762750941728172011-06-08T23:09:00.001-07:002011-06-15T07:48:38.867-07:00LARA CATCHOT- SPAIN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lOdPiPQBOHEGUQCeG89eMXeo1ns5-dQZs1YeH6R0enkodQdJZs_66T-LF8419xzgOKXegUJB88PyOMO7KPahL1rVuWgNl6MIf7u5V9VTHiRk9a8z2NeKLaFpDRlu5id4CuJHgleA_4Q/s1600/lara.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4lOdPiPQBOHEGUQCeG89eMXeo1ns5-dQZs1YeH6R0enkodQdJZs_66T-LF8419xzgOKXegUJB88PyOMO7KPahL1rVuWgNl6MIf7u5V9VTHiRk9a8z2NeKLaFpDRlu5id4CuJHgleA_4Q/s320/lara.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div>My name is Lara Catchot Orfila and I’m seventeen. I live in Menorca, Spain. Menorca is a small Island in the Mediterranean and is very touristic, especially in summer.

I live with my family, my parents and my two brothers, Sergi who is nineteen and Pau, who is twelve. I also have two cats, I love animals!<br />

I have curly blond hair, big green eyes and pale skin. I have a normal height and a normal weight too.<br />

I think my character is good, I’m a little bit stubborn but I’m an open-minded person, sociable and friendly. I never get nervous and I try to be as optimistic as I can. I don’t believe in superstitions nor any religion, but I respect the people who believe in them.<br />

I study at Joan Ramis high school, in Mahon and live with my family in a house close to my shcool.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm 17 years old and I was born on 9th March 1994, I have brown eyes and black hair. I'm 180 cm tall, I'm thin and I'm not very strong.<br />
<br />
I am really funny, respectful and friendly. Although, when I meet new people sometimes I'm a little shy.<br />
My favorite hobby in my free time is basketball. I'm usually play basketball with my town team as<br />
a eaves. I'm an experienced player but I believe I can learn many things even more, because the basketball is a very technical sport and perfectionist. In front of my house I also love playing basketball in my basketball court.<br />
<br />
At the moment, I'm studyng the social Bachillerato in IES Joan Ramis, and in the future I plan to study<br />

I want to take part in the Comenius Project, because I want to meet with people who are from other countries and have different lifestyles. And especially to improve my language skills.Mandi Vidalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14269864201667999110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878646175078510234.post-36011951353457436322011-06-07T12:31:00.000-07:002011-06-07T12:31:10.274-07:00XAVI ORFILA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wjeaVZjbiFqwD9K1KC2a7DQeqd2wBrCi_rUaZWyPW8yTEu6RJGq_b5nNNrTeJa2QnR9ZH5clnFRCLANZW7BjSyNyn2zNp6uQEkFwjdLIVQ8W8tBYbqvL0UHjVwOc5M0WHIynXRhAZFA/s1600/xavi+orfila.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wjeaVZjbiFqwD9K1KC2a7DQeqd2wBrCi_rUaZWyPW8yTEu6RJGq_b5nNNrTeJa2QnR9ZH5clnFRCLANZW7BjSyNyn2zNp6uQEkFwjdLIVQ8W8tBYbqvL0UHjVwOc5M0WHIynXRhAZFA/s320/xavi+orfila.jpg" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div>My name is Xavi Orfila Sans, I'm from Spain and I live in Minorca.

Anyway, I'm 17 years old and I was born on 9th March 1994, I have brown eyes and black hair. I'm 180 cm tall, I'm thin and I'm not very strong.<br />
<br />
I am really funny, respectful and friendly. Although, when I meet new people sometimes I'm a little shy.<br />
My favorite hobby in my free time is basketball. I'm usually play basketball with my town team as<br />
a eaves. I'm an experienced player but I believe I can learn many things even more, because the basketball is a very technical sport and perfectionist. In front of my house I also love playing basketball in my basketball court.<br />
At the moment, I'm studyng the social Bachillerato in IES Joan Ramis, and in the future I plan to study<br />
economics and law.<br />

I’m sixteen. I’ve got brown eyes and brown dark wavy hair. I’m about 1.60 tall and my weight is over 54 kg, I’m slim.<br />My expression doesn’t match my personality. I can be calm and sometimes inexpressive, but I can be lively too, it depends on the day. I like humour and absurd comedy, but I can be serious when I have to be. I like history and discovering things. I love travelling and I’d love to be in all the Nordic countries, in New Zeland and in Texas. I’m crazy about fantasy and mythology novels. I like metal music, rock music, grunge, blues, punk, folk and classical music. I'm usually thoughtful. I think that it’s good to be critical.<br />I’m a friendly guy. Sometimes I’m a bit down but I enjoy life.Orfilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13136149789678022866noreply@blogger.com0
