COMPOSITION

Write about the influence of psychologists on our society. Are they well considered? Could they be the answer to our psychological necessities?



To start I would like to say that, in my opinion, the figure of the psychologist is not seen by the society as it should be. When people think of psychology we all imagine the typical image of the psychoanalyst who is in a chair listening to your problems and taking notes, and psychology is not only that, there are lots of kinds of psychologists who are not known by the majority of people.

Personally I think that people abuses of the figure of the psychologist. Nowadays life is much easier than some years ago and when we have a problem: “Oh my God…my life is nothing…I should go to the psychologist…I’m not OK…”

There are a lot of people who think like this, and maybe, if they were a bit optimistic, they would be able to solve these problems on their own.

Of course, there are people who really need a psychologist to have more self-control, more self-esteem,… but it has to be something serious. Loads of people go to the psychologist because they don’t spend enough time to solve their problems or answer themselves some questions.

So, in conclusion, what I mean is that the figure of the psychologist is too much well considered because, of course they can solve our psychological necessities, but then, people don’t answer their problems on their own. Finally I want to say that I’m not including that ones who are really having a psychological trouble.

(Catalonia Today)

The last Sunday a forty-six year-old man of Dutch nationality and long time resident in Catalonia told his wife he was going to do something "bad".


So, he done something bad. The man went with his year-old daughter to the Santuari del Far. They had their breakfast in a restaurant near the santuari and then they went to a cliffside lookout point with binoculars in hand. When they arrived there the man pushed his daughter over the 100 metre cliff and then jumped himself.

My last oral presentation




Well, as I said in my oral presentation I wanted to talk about the Phantom of the Opera, but I forget the power point at home and I talked about my research project (The presence of English on TV advertising).
If you want to watch some of the advertisements I analized I've put a link in my portfolio to see the blog I created for my project.

FILM REVIEW

The last film I’ve seen is “Twilight”. At first I thought it was the typic adventure film so I didn’t expect to see the film but as soon as it started I realised that it wouldn’t be the typic film of vampires.
The film is based on Stephanie Meyer’s novels, and “Twilight” is the first part of four exciting books.

The plot centres on a girl who leaves her home in Phoenix to go to Forks, a village in the state of Washington with her father. At first she doesn’t like the village but the thing changes when she meets an estrange and attractive student called Edward Cullen. Soon she realises that her friend is a vampire.

The acting is first-rate. I thing that the main characters are as similar as I imagined when I read the book. Robert Pattison is very convincing as the role of Edward, and Bella, Kristen Stewart is just brilliant. The especial effects in this film are very striking and I liked them.

I was amazed that I liked this film as much as I did. When I first saw the trailer of the film I thought it would be boring at some parts, but when I saw the film I was very excited. It’s just superb so I recommend this film to everybody!
