Oral presentation about my last summer

MY LAST SUMMER
Hi! I'm Maria Port and this is my oral presentation about my last summer.
First I'm going to talk about my stage in a camp and then I talk about my family holidays in Andorra.

STAGE IN A CAMP
Last summer I went to a camp in Sant Miquel de Campmajor. Its name is L'Arcada. The theme of the camp was the Indians.
I stayed there for 7 days and I had a great time. There I met many firends. Some activities like archery and kamikaces were funny.
At night it was very cold. We slept in large teepees with the rest of the tribe. Elisenda, Maria Serra an I were part of Kyowa and Clàudia Vallmajó and Xènia Tubert were part of Apache.
L'Arcada is a funny camp.

FAMILY HOLIDAYS
With my family I went to Andorra. Andorra is in the north of Catalonia, in the Pyrenees. There, we stayed for 5 days and my mother and I went shopping most of the time. We also went to excursions and live to Caldea, a very relaxing spa.
Andorra is a beautiful place. There are lots of parks, trees and plants. There is nature, but there isn't a beach.

This has been a fantastic summer for me.

10.A diary entry about a trip

Saturday 15th August
I'm going to go an expedition next Saturday. We're going to stay on a campsite in the Alps. I must take my laptop, so I can continue this blog.

Saturday 22nd August
Here I am in my tent. It's cold and sunny, and we're staying next to a river. I'm going to take loads of photos because the mountains are spectacular. We're going to go riding a horse on the mountains later.

Sunday 23rd August
This is me with my horse. We had a fantastic time, but in the mountains it was very cold. I went in the field five times so I know it! We're going to walk in the mountains tomorrow. I must take my compass and a first-aid kit.

8.My history of London

London is a city in the South of England. People first lived in London in Roman times. Its name was Londinium and 45.000 people lived there. The population is about 7.5 million now.

There are places in London with the names of important people and Wars of history: Trafalgar Square commemorates Battle of Trafalgas and Victoria Street commemorates Queen Victoria.

The people of London are called Londoners or "Cockneys". Famous londoners include Charlie Chaplin and Arthur Conan Doyle. Charlie Chaplin was an actor and Arthur Conan Doyle was a writer of Sherlock Holmes stories.

PSY

People love to laugh at Psy's "Gangnam Style" video. But in his home country, South Korea, Psy is a national hero.

Go to YouTube and look for "Gangnam Style"... you'll see that more than 999 million people have watched the video by singer Psy. But a lot of them can't understand the lyrics: Psy sings in Korean.

There is nobody like Psy
Psy's musical style is 100% original.
It is often called "K-pop", but this term is misleading as Psy mikes lots of styles. The video "Gangnam Style" mixes rap and martial arts with dance moves that look like Psy in on a horse!

From Soth Korea to the USA
Psy grew up in Gangnam District, a rich district in Seoul, South Korea. After leaving school he went to the USA to study business administration. Psy's father is in charge of a big company and Psy was going to take over one day.

Psy discovers his vocation
But Psy soon realized that he preferred the music world to the business world. He used the money for his business education to buy musical equipment and started studying music instead. With his experience of the USA and its music in his mind, he returnde to South Korea with a clear idea: to become a famous singer.

Thank you Facebook
Psy likes to have fun, and his humorous videos are big part of his success (he imitates artists like Lady Gaga). He beat stars Katy Perry and Rihanna to win the MTV "Best Video" award in 2012.
Social media have also made Pay famous. Last November, about 20,000 people came to see him at a "flashmob" event in Paris that was organised on Facebook.

A hero in Korea
Many people go on YouTube to watch Psy because they are curious;they want to understand why a crazy Korean star is getting so much attention. But in his country, Psy is a hero. The government has given him one of the country's highest honours for his exceptional services to the arts.

Can Psy continue?

Amazed by his success, Psy is not sure if he can make another song better than "Gangnam Style". But he shouldn't worry. Someone with the imagination to create pop songs inspired by horses is sure to have lots of other crazy musical ideas.
