Happy New Year to you all!!! but are you ready for the New Year? Especially my students in 2º Bachillerato, I hope they are having a good rest and that they are trying to do some work in advance as we will be increasingly speeding in this second term.
The first thing to do is try to think about some resolutions, that is to say, you have to resolve to do things or just to do them in a better way. For example, you have to improve your writing skills by means of your compositions written at home and your comments in this blog. However, cheating is not very advisable as you will have to do them under exam conditions, as in the Selectivity exam. So it is up to you!!!

Finally, 2021 is gone. It has been a hard year for everybody, and all kind of things have happened all around the world. Why don´t we make a summary of them?
ResponderEliminarThe year started in the worst posible way, in January, Trump told his followers to take the capitory, because he thought he had lost the elections fraudulently; Madrid was collapsed due to Filomena, one of the hardest storms of the last years; and the COVID continued infecting people. February was much better, and nothing remarkable happened. In March, Spain approved the euthanasia law, so it was such an achievement. Moving to May, a migratory crisis in Marruecos started, putting Spain in a really hard situation.
If you think that this first half was bad, the second one wasn´t better. In June, the electricity bill started to rise unstoppable. In July, the Olympic Games took place, which ended with 17 medals to Spain. In August, the taliban people reclaimed back Afghanistan. In September, La Palma was affected by a volcanic eruption. Finally, ending the year, December started with a new COVID variant, the omicron one, starting a new wave of infected people.
In summary, we can say that it has been a year to forget, and now 2022 comes with hope and wishes, so let´s start it with determination and good expectations, I´m sure it will be much better!

Happy New Year! I hope this year will be better than the last, and that everything goes excellent for all of us. This is a very important year for me and for all my classmates. It´s a decisive year for our future and we must try to do our best. My main purpose for this new year is to get a good grade in my selectivity exam, so I will do my best to achieve it!
ResponderEliminarWithout a doubt, this is going to be one of the most difficult years of our life. That is why, during this Christmas I´m doing some homework and studying a little. But honestly, not too much, because it´s also important to rest to return with power to the second term. But it´s advisable not to leave homework for a long time...
Also, I have been confined this Christmas, so I have had a lot of time to do my school tasks. It has been a very strange Christmas for me, and perhaps a bit sad, but you have to look on the positive side. Now things can only get better, so little by little everything will go OK.
For me, the best thing about 2021 is the people I have met and the moments I have lived with them. It has been a very funny year full of experiences. In 2022, I hope that all these people will stay with me. I know that 2022 will be a great year!!
Rocío Valdés 2º Bach
In 2021 I improve my skills in english, I got B1 Cambridge of English, played padel with my father every weekend and also I went a lot of sites with my family and we spend a good time.
ResponderEliminarI listening a lot of song on english but the best song is dance monkey because I like Ed Sheeran and his song is amazing.
And the worst thing that happened to me was I forgot my ID on the day of the B1 exam and they didn't do the exam and I lost a close relative
In 2022 I want to improve my skills on english and padel,I will continue studying conservatorio and finish high school, spend a lot of time with my friends in my free time and I am going to travel with my family a lot of differents countries and cities and we will see monuments and other places.

Happy New Year!!!!
ResponderEliminarWe are already in a new year, and now that we have finished the year and we see everything that has happened, it has been a very bad year in general, it is a year marked again by the pandemic and its consequences and many more things.
This year many people have had a bad time due to COVID-19 or other disasters, in Spain one of those that occurred is the eruption of the volcano on La Palma, which has been in eruption for 85 days, this event has left Many families without a home and with nothing, another disaster in Spain has been the increase in the price of electricity reaching historical values, to all this is added the shortage of chips that makes any computer or certain electronic devices rise in price to more than double.
In my personal experience it has not been such a bad year in general, although there are things that I have to improve, such as my study organization, in the previous term it was a bit bad for me because a lot of things accumulated. And I did not have time for everything, so I will try to commit myself not to leave so many things until the end and study more at the beginning of the term so that all the exams do not accumulate and get better marks in the subjects.
In conclusion, I hope that this year things will go better in general, I hope that the pandemic is over and thanks to this we can return to normality, I also want to do better this term in studies.

ResponderEliminarI think the New Year resolutions are a silly thing, they just exist to make us happy when we complete one of them. I think that the best way to complete all the resolutions is having no resolutions.
EliminarAlso we are having a good rest these holidays, but we have to do some homework that some teachers gave us to do during Christmas, and some of us are recording the last English video sketch during our stay at the Mediterranean high school

The year 2021 is over, it has been a very difficult year, but if we compare it with 2019 it is a very difficult year, but if we compare it with 2020 it has been a little better. I hope 2022 is better
ResponderEliminarDuring the year many bad things have happened, one of the most important things has been what happened in La Plama, but there have also been many important things that have not been given as much importance as what happened in La Palma or the Covid. The volcano that erupted is over, it finished expelling lava before Christmas, but it's sad because many families have been left homeless.
For me, 2021 has not been such a hard year but it has not been that good either, because I have had very difficult situations. This year has also had good things like vaccination. This year is one of the most important of my life and the most difficult, as I have finished high school and do selectivity, but also the most difficult because I have to work a lot.
Anyway, I hope that 2022 is better, that all the covid is over and we can return to our normal lives. The years of 2020 and 2021 have been years that we will not forget.
Both the assault on the Capitol encouraged by Donald Trump, and the storm Filomena that covered Madrid with snow, occurred in 2021, although they are forgotten since they occurred at the beginning of the year. Thus began 2021, the second year of the pandemic calendar, marked by the arrival of new variants of the covid and its infinite restrictions.
ResponderEliminarThe coronavirus has been the protagonist of this year again. However, this time it was not so much because of their mortality as because of the vaccination campaign. If at the beginning of January the immunized people did not reach 0.1% of the population, this New Year's Eve citizens with the complete guideline reach 80%. Meanwhile, thousands of images of punctures in anonymous arms have flooded our screens.
The inhabitants of La Palma have also experienced very difficult moments, who have spent more than three months in suspense before an eruption that did not stop. Without a doubt, the lava flows from the Cumbre Vieja volcano have caused some of the most extraordinary and at the same time terrifying pictures of the year.
The political news has seen new leaders appear, from Pere Aragonès as the new president of the Generalitat to Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the undisputed leader in Madrid. And in sports, the cry of Leo Messi announcing that he was leaving Barça is indelible for any fan of the club, although later they could rejoice with Alexia Putellas lifting the Ballon d'Or.
Nuria Díaz Ruiz 2 BACH
Well, 2021 has finally ended, it hasn´t the best year in my opinion, because the covid-19 that in our country has affected a lot, especially at the end of the year with the new variant: ómicron, a very contagious and not so deadly variant than others. Obviously people who haven´t been vaccinated because it will be affect more.
ResponderEliminarI hope 2022 is a better year

ResponderEliminarWhen a new year starts, everybody often does a list of New Year’s resolutions. They are usually goals that we want to do or things that we want to change of our life.
ResponderEliminarIn this moment, I am focused on the second year of bachillerato and get the highest marks because I want to study INEF (school for physical education) in the University of Granada. I could study in other universities but I want to stay here to play football and study in the same time.
The next summer I hope I can rest and enjoy with my family and friends. I would also like to travel with my sister to New York, which is a dream that I have had since I was a child. There I would love to improve my English and know other culture and a different city. If I had some time, I would try to obtain the driving licence.
Finally, I will try to post a comment in the blog every week. I hope that 2022 will be a great year for everyone.
Leo Maldonado Castro 2º Bach
I find it surprising that another year has already passed since the pandemic began almost without realizing it. It seems like yesterday when we couldn't leave home and we had online classes. If this happened again now, it would be crazy.
ResponderEliminar2021 has been a year where we have had to continue adapting to COVID-19 and its consequences. In addition to this, which is already difficult, many other things have happened that haven´t helped the year to improve.
For me, personally, it has not been a very bad year. Despite everything there have been good moments, but clearly it could have been much better.
I had never made a New Year's resolution before because I didn´t believe in it, but I decided that this year I was going to start doing it. The main one is to organize myself better and not leave things to the last minute.
Alba Arellano 1ºBach A
2021 has finished. It´s has been a difficult year. It was better than 2020 but it won´t be better than 2022.
ResponderEliminarDuring this year there have been many catastrophes, like the volcano of la Palma it is very sad to see how all those people have lost a lot of things, even their houses.
For me 2021 has not been easy at all, because I have had complications throughout the year. We have also had good thing that year, such as the evolution of vaccines. This year is one of the most important of me life, because I will finish 2 of high school.
Finally, I hope that this yearis better than the previous one because I want to achieve my goals, but for that I still have to try harder. Also, I hope that the Covid ends and that we are more responsible.
Gema. V Márquez Martín 2 Bach
Firstly, for me and I think for almost all people the new year starts in Septembre with the new routine, highschool and all these things. Although I also like the new year day because I spend the whole day with my family and we always have a good time together and share memories.
ResponderEliminarSecondly, it’s very common to make New Year's resolutions, but there are people who make resolutions but then they don't achieve them. I think we should propose things that we know we are able to achieve, because if you don't achieve them, it's very frustrating. I didn't use to make resolutions but I've been making them for a few years and I think it’s a good idea to know what your goals are and achieve your challenges.
During last year many bad things have happened like the eruption of La Palma, we are still fighting against the covid… etc. However, I guess we should remember the good things like almost all the population get vaccinated in Spain, the freedom of Britney Spears...
Finally, I hope this year will be better than the last one.
RAQUEL PEINADO TORRES 1ºBACH A
In my opinion, 2021 has passed very slowly and has not been one of my best years. I don't remember anything good from last year, but I do remember a lot of bad experiences. Last year I didn't do things right at all and this year I have to fix them little by little.
ResponderEliminarPeople say that it is good to make a list of New Year's resolutions, but I think that if I do, I will not be able to fulfill what I have put. This year I have started quite well and I think it can be a great year. I'm just going to try to think things through before doing them and see the consequences that they will have.
I hope that in 2022 covid will stop being so dangerous and that we can return to normality completely. This Christmas, my town has had more infected than ever for all the holidays, I think I have also been infected.
María Romero 1BACH A
A new year has already started and as usually people are doing lots of New Year's resolutions, but what is that? A New Year's resolution is like a promise that you do yourself, to do all the things that you expect to do during the year. There are people who achieve all, but there are people who make themselves lots of resolutions and don't achieve any of them. So resolutions can be good if you are determined to do them, but can be also bad for the people who don't achieve them.
ResponderEliminar2021 has finished and a new year has started, 2022, a year in which lot of people have so much expectation and confidence. They expect that all the bad things that are taking place now, like the Covid situation, which is getting worse because of all the new infections that are appearing in all places, and we can see now, better than ever, in our surrounding area, or lots of other bad things like climate change issue, will finish in this new year, but they are the same expectations as last year and they didn't achieve.
Last year was a difficult year because of different reasons, but at less for me it was better year than 2020. In 2021 I started 2º Bachillerato, which is the last school secondary year, and only in the first term I realise that it is really more difficult than last school year. Now, in 2022 I will finish this school year, but I need to improve more in all subjects to get good marks in all.
Finally, in my opinion, starting a new year can be really good, because all people recover their expectations and that they continue making efforts for what they want. For this new year I only hope that two issues will improve, on the one hand, the pandemic situation, and on the other hand, I hope that goverments do something to improve the situation with climate change, which is a really big problem.

Finally, 2021 is gone. It has been a hard year for everybody, and all kinds of things have happened all around the world. I hope 2022 is better.
ResponderEliminarIn January, Trump told his followers to take the Capital in Washington D.C., because he thought he had lost the elections fraudulently; Madrid was collapsed due to Filomena, and the COVID continued infecting people. In March, Spain approved the euthanasia law, so it was such an achievement. Moving to May, a migratory crisis in Marruecos started, putting Spain in a really hard situation.
Then in June, the electricity bill started to rise unstoppably. In July, the Olympic Games took place, which ended with 17 medals to Spain. In August, the taliban people reclaimed back Afghanistan, for the world of sport Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos both come out of Barcelo and Real Madrid fc from PSG. In September, La Palma was affected by a volcanic eruption. Finally, ending the year, December started with a new COVID variant, the omicron one, starting a new wave of infected people.
The year 2021 has been a good year for me respect the school, and I hope that this new year are better. In that year I hope pass the selectivity and enter in the university that I want, then in november when I turns eighteen years I want to get my car license.
I don’t believe that 2022 has arrived. Last year people were very scared because the Covid
ResponderEliminarhad arrived.
I think that we have advanced because we already have the vaccines. When the Covid started I couldn’t believe what was happening in our lives.
Also, In September I have started Bachillerato, which is a course very important for me because I have to get good marks.
When I’ll finish Bachillerato, I would like going to Granada, where I’ll study a module.
In 2021, there were many disasters like volcano, earthquake in Granada and Covid. I think if the people look after the planet , disaster won’t happen.
Finally, my new year resolutions are that I want to get B1 of English, do more sport and eat healthier.

ResponderEliminarFor me, 2021, I have had a pretty bad year since, due to Covid-19, I have not been able to do many things that I would have been justified in doing, such as traveling on holidays, but due to the Covid protocol, I have not been able to leave my province.
EliminarMany bad things have happened this year, such as the assault on the United States Capitol or the Taliban's conquest of Afghanistan. This year has been full of many surprises and many of them haven't been very good ones.
But this year not everything was bad, at the end of this year the Covid-19 vaccine came out with which it will allow there to be less contagious as long as everyone puts it on I hope we can go back to living our lives without having to be with the mask or simply be worried about Covid-19.
The only thing I ask of this 2022 is that we can return to normality and that everyone can see their family again.
David Medina Valero 1ºBach A
During the year 2021 many goals have been scored but definitely the best ones are ones I have seen in this video.
ResponderEliminarAcordding to the video the best goal of 2021 was scored by Salah. For me too because he dribbles past five players and defines very well in front of the goalkeeper. There is a goal that seems impressive to me, it was scored by Schick in the European Championship, it is very difficult because it is from midfield.
One of the goals that I think will enter the ranking of the 20 best goals this year is the goal scored yesterday by Frenkie De Jong, because the ball takes a spin that makes impossible for the goalkeeper to stop it.
