THE TITANIC TRAGEDY

100 years after the Titanic tragedy, the world's most famous ship still fascinates us. This April, discover the legend in the new 3D version of James Cameron's film Titanic.

What was the Titanic?

The Titanic was the largest passenger ship in the world. It was built in 1912. It was like a  flouting town with passengers from all social classes.

Inside the titanic

The Titanic was a luxury ship. Rich passengers paid a lot of money for a decorated suite with elegant styles, but the poor people didn't have that luxury.

The Titanic Destination

The Titanic's first voyage was from Southampton, in England, to New York City, USA. The ship left on 10 April 1912... but never arrived at it destination

The tragedy

On 14 April, four days after leaving Southampton, the Titanic was in the North Atlantic. The sea was calm but visibility was low. At 11.40 pm, a lookout saw a large iceberg near the ship. 37 seconds later, the Titanic hit the iceberg and water entered the ship. At first the passengers didn't panic... two hours and 40 minutes later, at 2.20am, the Titanic sank...

Who died?

Of the 2,224 people on board, only 710 survived. Most survivors were women, children and the rich: 60% of first-class passengers survived. But only 42% of second-class and 25% of third-class passengers survived

Titanic Film

The wreck of Titanic was found in 1985, about 4 km under the sea. James Cameron made his 1997 film, Titanic, using real images of the wreck. It was the highest grossing film of all time until Avatar (2009). But this isn’t the only film of Titanic tragedy; there are eleven in total.  This big event has become very important; this is why there are a lot of films of it, in a lot of languages.

The last survivor

The last survivor of the Titanic died in 2009, aged 96. Her name was Millvina Dean and she was two months old when she was rescued from the ship.

Schools in Britain
Education is an importan part of British life. It's free and compulsory for all children between ages 5 to 16. Some children are educated at home but most are studying in the school. Children's education in England is divided in two phases, primary and secondary.


First Phase: 
They begin with primary education at the age of five and this usually lasts until they are eleven. Most schools in England require children to wear a school uniform because it is not lost and parents should not spend so much money on clothing the children wear to school. In primary, they study different areas such as English, mathematics, science, Religious education, history and geography. After morning classes, students go to have lunch, and then, they go to classes again. This is an example of a school uniform from England. This is the uniform for boy, and this is the uniform for girl.

Secundary: Secondary studies are for the 11-16 children.

In secondary school students wear school uniform too. In secondary studies, there are new areas such as Technology , science in the laboratories , and most Optional.In secondary studies, its the same of primary, students go to have lunch after morning classes, and then , they go to classes again. This is a part of a secondary students day.

Compare with spanish schools.

The schools in Britain are like Spanish schools because here we are doing the same phases, primary and secundary, but there are some differences, like, in Spain, the most of schools don't wear uniform and they are more religious than our schools.Another difference is, for example, In st. Margarets school, Monday ,Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday they finish school at quarter past three.

Some important universities in England.

There are four important universities in England, Oxford, Stanford  and Cambridge.  

My clasmates presentations:

Jordi and Bernat Riu- They were talking about tipycal sports in England. They said that tipycal sports there are football, cricket, rugby and golf. The field of Cricket is like a square, and people transofmed rugby in american football. I'ts very complicate to play it. Golf consists in, a little ball with a clack. Tigger Woods is the most goodest player of golf. 

Bernat Diaz and Enric- They were talking about Hobbies in England. Hobbies in England for example, are Nintendo, Wii, Xbox360, Social places, Shops, Pabs... this is some popular jobs in Britain. There are over sixteen thousant of pabs. Cricket is a famous sport in Britain too. A lot of people buy a lot of fat food like hamburgers, or fish and ships. Some famous flim actors from Britain is, for example, Robbert Pattinson, an actor who performs Edward Cullen in Twilight saga.

My last summer holidays

My last summer holidays!

Hi! my name's Mònica and now I'm going to talk about my last summer. My last summer was very good because I did some activities. Firs, I was in Berga for fifteen days, in a summer camp, second I come back to Banyoles and I went to the lake with my friends and third I was in L'Escala, a small city near the coast, with my family.

15 DAYS IN BERGA

This summer i went fifteen days to berga in a summer camp. It was great!. The first day we did an exam to check our level of English, and then they organized everybody in classes. Everyday we did five hours of class in the morning and in the afternoon, we did some activities such as tests, games... In the evening we did the night activity such as horror night, or a film or a game... I met a lot of people there!. There was really nice people in Berga! One day of the first week we went to the church of Queralt and some day of the second week we went to Castellar d'Nhug, a town in the mountain with rivers. I didn't like the food there, but for the rest it was funny.

BANYOLES

When I returned from Berga, I went out with my friends almost every day. We went to the lake or the park of la Draga. I enjoy it a lot! We talked, and we took a lot of photos together.

L'ESCALA.

Every summer,I go with my family to l'Escala for one or two weeks. L'Escala is a small town near the coast, with beautiful beaches and a lot of tourism. We've got a house near the beaches, it's black and white, I like it more than my house in Banyoles. We went to the beach everyday, and at night we had dinner at home, and then  we went to the city center to have anice-cream or just go for a walk. Some days, my friends came to l'Escala and we went to the beach together.

This was my summer this year
