All started like a dream, I remember people from my class saying;
-Wow, could you imagine us in Malta? That's incredible!
We thought that was impossible to win the orator project but we were very convinced to do it, we were so excited to travel, to know people from other cultures, to change our feelings; to do some different things that we can not do in La Pobla that I think that was the reason we won.
We spent a lot of time on the project, but we do not mind; we have been filming as famous cinema producers, like in TV!
Moreover, during this period of time we have been together as never before, we have learned a lot of English traducing it and talking with the people from Malta.
When we realize we have won the contest, our dream became reality. Malta was great, besides, there were some people that have never flown, and was fantastic to share this feeling of nervousness between us.
Although all was great and we sunbathed a lot, the temperature was extremely hot! But it was funny to see the faces between us like zombies in desert.

AS CINEMA PRODUCERS
During the last year we have been working in a school project, maybe, the best school project I have ever worked in. It is called The Enigma of Malta and it has given us the opportunity to work as cinema actors and producers. Moreover, the location of most of the sequences, Malta, gave us the opportunity to travel to this exciting place for actually few money.
The project started in the course of 1st of Batxillerat, when the students on the literature subject wrote an amazing thriller play. Then we translated it into English and filmed a thriller, which was given a prize. It included a two week trip in Malta, where we could film our outdoors sequences.
We started our project with lots of illusion. However, it was a lot of work, and the first parts were not the most interesting ones. I think the literature students enjoyed a lot writing the play, but the theorical research about Malta and the Knights of St John, and making some WebPages, was not the most enjoyable part of it, in spite of the interesting subjects we learnt about.
The part which has been the most interesting one is, from my point of view, filming it. It is true that we, the actors, had more work, because we needed to learn our text, but I think the recompense of being a character in a film is enough. Furthermore, I love playing theatre, so I enjoyed it a lot.
We had other things to do while we were filming. We divided in work-groups in order to record audio, video and other tasks in a cinema production group. I worked as the script, the audio recorder and the light-boy. I must recognise that these technical issues are not my favourite point, so I didn’t enjoy them a lot.
In conclusion, I loved working as an actor. However, I did not love so much other tasks, like translations, theorical research, or technical issues.

Rose from Rio Ebro
The Ebro River as it passes over Zaragoza keeps from 2.00 pm today a wealth around the 1,300 cubic meters per second, meaning that the flood is a very long time, even though the tip is expected, which will be in around the expected values, between 1,400 and 1,450 cubic meters.
According to sources explained the Hydrographic Confederation of the Ebro, the flows are "within the provisions", despite that being a grown by more rain is difficult to determine the behavior of the channel.
Thus, throughout the night flow ha ido rising slowly and steadily, from 1,302 cubic meters per second at 2.00 hours until the 1.359,44 from 10.00 am, with 1.321,36 at 4.00 pm and 1,340, 4 at 7.00. The tip of the flood is, therefore, very long, but has not yet reached their maximum levels, we do not know exactly when to arrive and are set around the 1,400 or 1,450 cubic meters.
Poll puts Zapatero ahead
The Spanish Prime Minister is set to clinch re-election on Sunday by a narrow margin, according to the results of a poll commissioned by The Times.
The survey, conducted by the Spanish polling company Sigma Dos, shows José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s Socialist Party beating its conservative rivals by 3.8 percentage points. That result would give the Socialists enough seats in Parliament to form a government but place them short of an absolute majority.
Spanish media are barred from publishing opinion polls in the five days leading up to the election but political parties and business groups continue to commission them. The results are traded widely among political and business elites but until now have been kept from ordinary Spaniards.

:::film review:::
The “Mystery of Malta “is the best thriller done by pupils of first of “batxiller”. The short begins when the principals character, a couple of young students find a symbols, and with the help of a grandmother and of a professional they investigate on them and coming to a very interesting and surprising end.
The film combines action, suspense and love history with the main characters, and it has a lot of information about the “templars” of Malta, the principal plot of it.
This movie is fascinating, you’ll enjoy every minute of this recording, since the whole moment is intriguing. It is worth seeing the result of a hard work in class.

review of SAW III
Saw is one of the best films in the twentyone century.
But I'm going to talk about the third issue, that's the most interesting, but it isn't the best of the triology.
It's a thriller of terror, with a lot of puzzles and imagination.
The director is Darren Lynn Bousman, it was published in 2006, USA.
With his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), the puppeteer responsible for the cruel and intricate games that have terrorized an entire community and have baffled the police, returned to evade capture. While the detectives of the city become crazy trying to find him, Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) and Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) are unaware that they are about to become puppets of their recent ruthless chessboard.
In the film abounds torture and blood ... but always justified by a clever script that although encountered on several occasions, brings a compelling dramatic arc. While "Saw III" has perhaps the slower pace of the series and the "surprises" more loose, I think it compensates with a stronger cast.
trilogy argues moderately well by the strength of his narrative, seasoned by the well-known intensity of its tone and its scenes of violence

Goodbye Lenning
Goodbye Lenning is one of the best films directed by Wolfang Becker.
It’s a story that happens in1989. Alex’s mother goes on coma and a few months later she wake up but her health was very delicate. No surprises can be given to her. She doesn’t know that her beloved eastern Germany doesn’t exist anymore.
The real plot is when her friens and neighbours try to hide the real situztion.
I think the acting is excellent, with amazing performances from both Daniel Br{ul and Katrin Sass
Although the original language of the film is in German.
It has been translated in many languages. However, I would recommended this film without thinking twice.

Review of American Beauty
American Beauty, Sam Mendes’s film, is set in The United States of America in the 1999s, and won five Oscars. The film is based on an American family, but especially & the most important character who is the father. The peculiarity of this family is the characters who are involved in: At first, the mother, who is bad-tempered, she is a perfectionist and immaculate woman, obsess to success with her job. Secondly, the teenager girl, character with not much self-esteem and embarrassed with her parents. Thirdly, the father, who has a monotone and boring live; he is & relaxed men fed up with his job, hated by his daughter and his wife and upset with his age.The film combines humour, drama, suspense, and love. In some occasions the film makes you think about our life with some philosophical details.
To sum up, although the end is unexpected and strange, the film in general is great, the director and the scriptwriter worked well. In addition, the actors are good.
I recommend the film to all the people, especially the people who are fed up with their life and need some changes.
A writing review: Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë, published in 1847s. The characters are Jane, the protagonist and the character of the title; she is alone since very small, she is an orphaned. And Rochester who is a love of Jane Eyre she leaves everything for him. Jane Eyre an Autobiography is a history of loves between the sarcastic and, the same time, very attractive Rochester and the young teacher Jane, they are a protagonist. When she is going to contract marriage with him, she discovering that her promised already was married with a rich native that she has driven crazy. After a lot vicissitudes, the history of love knows the end happy.This book is written in first person, with extensive vocabulary and with great handling the psychology of characters, it is as if say the observation is that within the soul of the author that she found the reality carried to the extreme. This is a book of English romanticism.
I haven’t finish read yet, but it’s very interesting and you aren’t bored when you read this book. Is true that when you start the book is heavy but definitely worth reading.
