FINAL REFLECTION ON MY ENGLISH SPACE

FINAL REFLECTION ON MY SPACE


My English progress from 2008 to 2010.

First of all, I’ve visited my last year English space and I’ve seen that visually, it’s easy to see that the most of the posts are shorter than the ones I’ve did this course.

In reference with the last year’s first post, which is called “Introduction of myself” I can say that it’s simpler than the others, and totally different to the ones I’ve posted in my blog this year. It is a simple writing because just seeing its topic we can see that it talks just about me and my life.

In the one hand, there’s no introduction, which is a part that right now I would never forget. Also there aren’t any paragraphs, and now, I know that they are important because of distribute the information. There aren’t connectors and linking words, and that’s why I constantly repeat “I was…, I live, I am…” so, that’s a thing that I’ve improved, and that’s important.

In the other hand, the vocabulary I used is quite different from the one I use this course, so currently, it’s richer and more elaborated. Also, I’ve seen I had some little problems with the verb tenses, and now it’s an aspect that I notice.

In relation to my last post I’ve did this course, which is a piece of news form the disaster on Japan, we can see easily, that just the topic is elaborated, so it’s a piece of news from the currently and it’s more interesting and original than the simple email “Introduction of myself”.

We can see that the vocabulary is richer, and that I’ve tried to use correctly different complex verb tenses, and that’s a fact I think that improves a lot the coherence of a text.

In conclusion, just seeing the title of both writings we can see a difference between them, and also, that this year I’ve improved a lot in relation with the verb tenses, the using of the vocabulary, the inclusion of connectors and the coherence of my writings.

In reference with my two oral presentations I’ve had to compare I haven’t seen many differences there, maybe because I’ve improved just the writings, or maybe is also a difference but I cannot notice it.

Apart from that, in my first oral presentation called “My summer in Portbou” we can see that also, the topic is simpler than the ones I’ve worked on in this course. Maybe it was shorter than the last presentation I’ve did, but I think that the oral level is the same, probably because we have not worked on this aspect this course.

I may have improved in the fact that, right now, when I have to do an oral presentation I don’t get nervous and I feel more tranquil than last year, maybe because know all of my classmates and my teacher, you can have a look also at my last oral presentation, which I did as an extra point because of the improving of my mark, so its topic is “The beatles”.


My English competence in 2010

In this part I have to choose my best writing evidence and also my oral best evidence, so I will start by telling you which is, in my opinion, my best writing and the reasons why.

In order to show my level, I will may choose a free writing post called “Unfaithful, a tv series”. This post talks about a tv series which is maybe the one I like the most right now. It’s a description of this series and especially, of the main characters which appear there; I did it consciously and trying to descript them with good adjectives and elaborated vocabulary for tell their characteristics, so that’s why I think it’s the one I’ve did better.

Also, I divided it in parts, and introduction talking about the series and its history, and then, a description of every single character; so, as I said before, now I give a lot of importance in the division in parts of a writing, because it’s a fact that improves a lot the quality of a text and that makes it easy to understand.

In relation to my best oral presentation, I’ve chose the one which talks about my research project, which is called “The animals in Aesop’s fables”. Maybe I think that that’s better than the others because I think that the research project is a topic which we have worked on a lot of time.

Also, before of doing our oral presentation about the research project in the English subject, we did it as a part of the mark of the original research project, and that’s a fact that has improved our trust in this topic.

I prepared a lot this oral presentation and I tried to make it understandable for everybody who was there, so that’s why I make my power point more visual, which lots of images and pictures of animals.

After seeing my video, I’ve also noticed that I wasn’t nervous and that I spoke correctly and fluent, so that’s important because it showed that I had trust in me and that I was calmed.

Finally, I can conclude that, in general, this year I’ve improved in relation with last course and I think that the English space has helped me to do it, because it’s a way to show all our knowledge in the English subject. I’ve improved my writings and I’ve learnt to use correctly verb tenses, also, currently, I know how to write formal documents, such as a letter.

I’m proud of the work I’ve did in this time, and I recognize that those, are the two years in which I’ve learnt more English. Now, I hope I can use it in my life and show to everybody that learn English isn’t difficult if they are enthusiastic.

NEWS ON JAPAN


Here you can read different news on Japan.


Japan starts shutting down Hamaoka nuclear reactor

Those news tell that the operator of Japa'ns ageing has started the closure of two reactors of the nuclear plant of Hamaoka. Also it has started the installation of different control rods in the number four reactor. So also, last week, Naoto Kan asked for the complet closure of that plant.

Myabe, Japan is now proud of those actions that the government of Japan is doing, but I won't stop to think that those problems have to be solved before the consequences that Japan has had. I'm not happy to see that, because it wants to express that the government is acting rwo months later the disaster.

You may now the similar disaster of Chernovyl, don't you? So after a disaster like that, all the goverments around the world should had improved the control on the different nuclear facilities, so maybe, Japan thought that it could never happen to them, but people only know that these things can happens until they are involved in a bid disaster. Maybe if the japanese government had acted before, they had avoid so much deads.

It's true that now the government is acting because of stop with these kind of problems, but now it's too late to save those people who has lost their families, or who has died there.

HOME, The film.


DUBAI, WHERE THE IMPOSSIBLE BECOMES POSSIBLE


As you know, Dubai is a emirate situated in the united arabian emirates.

Before, Dubai was a poor country, it was an insignificant place without any resources to notice.
We can't talk about Dubai existing until 1833, when the tribu "Bu Flasa" led by the Maktourn family, which settled down next to Dubai Creek, the natural river which is 10 kilometres long.

Right now, Dubai is a developed country where if the tribu "Bu Flasa" came now, they would not recognise it. So it's full of buildings, high flats and the most high skyscrapers of the world. That's why the tittle of this writing is "Dubai, where the impossible becomes possible"; so before it was hardly a tribu and now is one of the most rich countries of the world.

Dubai started to become rich when people found the oil that has made this country one of the most visited of the planet.

Dubai have got the biggest hotel, the biggest fountain, the biggest harbor, the biggest shopping mall, and the only seven-stars hotel of the world. It is called Brj Al Arab and most of the people know Dubai by its hotel. You may konw it also by the highest skyscraper of the world, called Burj Khalifa.

So, in conclusion, Dubai is an emirate which looks like a country of another world, so people can't compare it with anything, because that's impossible, and more if we consider tha
t two thousand years ago, it was just a place created by a nomad tribu. So in Dubai, the impossible has become possible, but I think that it can't happen in anymore places.



DIALOGUE


Ros Halley is a farmer from South Carolina who is proud of his job. He has worked as a farmer all his life because Halley's farm exists since his father created it in 1963.
We are interested in this guy because we have to notice that he's just twenty, so it's difficult to find young people working at this kind of jobs that we can say that are dying out. We have interviewed him:

V- Hi, Mr Halley. How are you?

H- Hi, I'm fine, thank you.

V- Do you consider that yours is a job which is dying out? So, we have made a statistical study and we have seen that there are 56, 2 % farmers less than fifty years before.

H- I think that there's approximately the same number of farmers, but it's true that maybe, we work in different ways and less than before, because, now, there are new technologies and machines that work for us, and help us.

V- So, do you think that there are as many farmers as few years ago, but their job is different?

H- Yes, what I want to say is that, maybe, our job is less considered than before, so, in conlcusion, my job isn't dying out, but, for example, the work of an officer is more important right now than mine.

V- So, you want to say that the farmers work isn't valued, don't you?

H- Not as few years ago, but I can't say that the farming is dying out.

V- Thank you very much Mr Halley!

H- Your welcome!

Andy Warhol self-portrait fetches $38.4


Click here to read the original new about Andy Warhol!

Andy Warhol's first self-portrait, a four-panel acrylic silk-screen in blue hues, has fetched $38.4m (£23.5m) at an auction at Christie's in New York.

Only eight Wharhols has been sold, so now, the first self-portrait that Warhol did is for sale on the New York contemporany art sales. Its sale will finish on thursday, at the auction house Philips de Pury.


My comment:

I hope that people didin't think that its price it's too high, so I think that this kind of important work should be so expensive. We are talking about Andy Warhol, one of the most known contemporany artists.
I know some important works of him, such as the Marilyn Monroe portrait or the diferent po
rtrait which are in four diferent colours. They are so known and succesful, so that's why they are really good, and expensive. I think that everybody has seen some Warhol work, because we can see it in lots of places, such as modern bars or friends homes. For exemple, I've got a copy of one of them in my bedroom.
IN conclusion, I think that its price is normally allowing that Andy Warhol is one of the most famous pop art artist.

PIECE OF NEWS


BOB DYLAN'S "LIKE A ROLLING STONE" NAMED BEST SONG


Click here in order to read the original news of de bbc news page.

A little summary:

Bob Dylan's 1965 anthem Like a Rolling Stone has been named the singer-songwriter's greatest hit by a panel of musicians, writers and academics.

A group of kown artists has done a poll, because of celebrate the 70th Bob Dylan's birthday on 24 of may, this year. So they conclude that, in general, "Like a rolling stone" is the best song, not only of Bob Dylan, also of the international pop.
I have to notice, that Dylan did this song for the real music band called The Rolling Stones, probably, one of the most known music bands in the world.


Comment on the news:

First of all, I've chosed this piece of news because as you should now, I really like music, and I consider Bob Dylan as one of the best singers of this world. I've heard lots of times his song called "like a rolling stone" and I've got it also on my mobile phone!
I'm interested in all things related on the music, and secially in those news or articles which talk about known artists who deserve to be the main chacarcters of some articles of newspaper's articles.
In reference to the song that the other artists chose as the best, In my opinion, it isn't, becuase maybe I prefer another one, such as "Knoking on heavens door", which is also one of the most known songs, or "Blowing in the wind".
Finally, I will say that Bob Dylan is one of the best singers we have got, so I hope his music will never disappear even thouth his career stopped.





THE BEATLES



ORAL PRESENTATION - THE BEATLES


Hi everybody, my name’s Helena, and today I’m going to talk about a famous music band of the twentieth century, which is “The Beatles”. In order to explain all the main things of this band, I’m going to follow some parts: first, I will talk about an introduction and the history of this band, then I will tell you about their fame in UK and also in the USA, and finally I will talk about their last years and their division.

Intro/ History

The Beatles was a rock band which was created in Liverpool on 1960. It was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. At the beginning they start by playing rock and roll of the fifty’s and skiffle, which is a kind of folk music influenced by the jazz and the blues. But during over their career they interpreted also folk rock and psychedelic rock songs.

The Beatles fame increased as their songs was becoming more sophisticated, and that’s why they created a trend called “beatlemania”. Also they were perceived like the incarnation of progressive ideals and their influence was extended to the social and cultural revolutions of the epoch.

They started playing in bars and clubs of Liverpool and Hamburg and on 1962 they get commercial success with their first single “Love me do”. Then they start to get international fame doing a lot of tours until 1966, when they started to work only recording songs and then on 1970 they separated to continue with the music but solo.

The Beatles’ fame in the UK

On 1963 they released the album “Please please me” and it got the number one in the Britain lists. Then they published their third single, called “From me to you” and it got the first number in the lists too, and afterward they got records of the most sold albums in the UK.

During the first half of 1963 they did three tours in Britain, and as their popularity was increasing, it appeared a big adulation to them, so they were always received with great enthusiasm wherever they went.

Finally, a music critical of the United Kingdom, William Mann, said that John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the most noticed English compositors of 1963.

The Beatle’s fame in the USA


When The Beatles left UK on 1964, approximately four thousand fans were hiding as the plane took off. The single “I want to hold your hand” had sold two million copies in UK, but they didn’t know how they will be received on the United States. When they arrived in New York there were three million people waiting for them.

Their first actuation in USA was on “The Ed Sullivan Show”, which was a famous tv program; and then, they start tours around different states. Afterwards, they started again a “Beatlemania” in the United States, and that’s why they caused the British invasion, which made a lot of music bands of UK went to USA to play their songs and get the fame as The Beatles.

People always received them with a lot of enthusiasm, but on 1970 they separated themselves.

Their division

Their troubles started when they saw the bad reaction of the people because of a comment that Lennon did a month ago telling that the religion was getting worse and that The Beatles was more famous than Jesus Christ.

After some good publications, as “yellow submarine” people who investigated The Beatles lyrics saw anti-authority and anti-system messages.

Also, Epstein, their manager died because of emotional problems and in this moment was when the four men saw that the end of The Beatles was close to them.

At last I have to notice that their last album was “Let it be” and their last single was “I me mine”.

Conclusion

To conclude my oral presentation, I would say that I’ve chosen this topic because I love the music, and I think that The Beatles is one the most important music bands, because a lot of artists and music bands like, Oasis or Coldplay are influenced by The Beatles music.


VIDEO:


REFLECTION ABOUT IT

In one hand, in my oral presentation I use a power point which was simple and visual, but I think that it’s better.

I think that for this topic it is not necessary to put all the information that I found, so just the main things which people can care about this music band.
My time was short, but I think that I have time to explain all the important things that I wanted to explain; but it is true that maybe, I talked a little quickly.

When I have seen my video, I have noticed that I looked quite at my audience, sometimes, when I forgot something that I had to say, I had a look at my notes, but not much times.
I think I did some gestures, but sometimes, it is difficult to talk like when you’re talking with a friend, for example.

In my presentation I included enough information, and the most interesting information that I found; cause sometimes, when in an oral presentation you talk about too things, often the audience gets bored, and then, they don’t remember about nothing.

The vocabulary and the grammar that I used were simple, because I found imformation abaout The Beatles, and then, I explained what I understanded. Also I think it was correct and good pronounced, but I recognize that there’s always something that can be better.

Maybe, the worse thing that I did was talk too fast. But as I’ve seen in my video, I used a good intonation; I spoke fluidly and without interruptions.

EAST 43RD STREET


Can you summarize the book in two minutes?

Nathan Marley, an old-fashioned private investigator and the main character, lives in a important place of New York city, which is the 43rd street, next to the popular Chrysler building.

The story begins with Nathan Marley sitting in McFadden’s Bar six days before Christmas. He sees a beautiful, expensively-dressed woman with huge diamonds. Marley decides to follow her but he loses her in the crowd.

But in the morning he sees her in his office, because unfortunately he had been selected by her and her husband as a fall guy for their devious plan. So, Angela Lake (the rich woman) says to Nat that he have to reclaim a briefcase of jewelery from a locker at Grand Central Station, but this jewelery were’nt there, so it was a lie.

But he was not so stupid as they had imagined, so he don’t trust the woman, and he contact sneak with some people that can help him, such as a member of the NYPD because he sees that is involved in a case of criminal activity involving fraud, computer hacking and kidnap.

At last, they get Angela told the truth about the story, so she told that, they didn’t have got the jewelry, and the ones they had weren’t real, so they were expensively-dressing and wore jewelry because people wouldn’t suspect about their debts.

Is there a mystery sentence or a mystery point in the story?

If I have to chose a mystery point in this story, I will chose the part where Angela Lake confess that the jewelry that they have got aren’t real and that the ones they were are false. So I think that this is an important moment, or sentence, because the argument of this book, and the problems that are the center of the story, begin because of the jewelry and because of the wealth of the Lakes.

When and where does the story take place?

I think that that’s obvious because the title of the book is east 43rd street, so it happens in New York City. We can especially notice places like the fifth avenue, known by the Empire State building, McFadden’s Bar, which is also in the 43rd street, and the Grand Central.

The time when the story takes place doesn’t appear, but we can situate it now, maybe few years ago, but not much. So we know that it starts on a cold evening of December, three days before Christmas.

Who are the main characters in the story? What’s their role?

Nat (Nathan Marley) is the main one, so he is an old-fashioned private investigator which has always had the ordinary work for an investigator, but in this story he have got to be involved in a very complicate case, because a rich couple of New York has lied him. He shows his intelligence when he doesn’t trust Angela Lake investigate first her case.

Angela Lake, when Nat first see her, seems a very rich and beautiful woman, who is expensively-dressed and who have got special legs that Nat cannot forget. But then, when Nat investigates her case, at the end of the book, Nat discover that Angela Lake is a dangerous woman who is involved in a case of criminal activity with her husband.

Robert Lake is Angela’s husband. He is more dangerous, so Angela is, in some way, his servant because is always involved in his problems related to the kidnap, the computer hacking, etc. Robert is a very dangerous man, so he is intelligent and he uses his intelligence to make fraud, kidnap and computer hacking.

Stella is the Nat’s secretary. She always worried about him when he is involved in dangerous cases. Stella knows all about Nat and she tries to help him whenever she can; so Nat is very proud of her.

Choose one character (main or secondary) and describe him/her.

Nathan is the main character. He is an old-fashioned private investigator who lives in New York. He is a little pessimistic, so he explains that he goes often to a pub called McFadden’s bar in order to forget all his troubles by drinking beer. He doesn’t seems to be very rich, so he describes his office like an small place and he dreams of having his office in the Chrysler Building. Especially at the end of the story he shows that he is intelligent and that he don’t want to be in troubles, so he prefers his ordinary work , such as resolving divorce cases or things like that.

Can you identify with any character? Why?

No, I think that’s impossible in this kind of story, so here the characters haven’t got a lot of importance. Here the most important is the action, and the characters aren’t much described. But I have to say, that in reference to the moment wen Nat is about being deceived, I would also called sneak the police because of not being arrested.

Choose your favourite moment in the story.

My favourite moment here is maybe the end, when Nat is about dying, and finally Angela Lake tells the truth. But I have to say that I don’t like this kind of stories, so I prefer the parts where the narrator describes the city and the streets where the story take place.

Which new key words have you learnt to understand the story?

Crowd, manner, kidnap, strength, line-up, headquarters, jail, fee...

Provide an alternative ending.

Angela Lake, the beautiful woman, fall in love with Nat (Nathan Marley), so she can’t hide more what’s happening. She tells him the truth, she tells him that her ex-husband Robert Lake has been involved in lots of kidnaps and computer hacking and that she was involved strength too. Then Nat and Angela give proof at the NYPD and they arrest Robert Lake. So my ending finishes with the Angela and Nat’s wedding and their honey moon in Turkey.

Would you recommend this book? Why?

Personally, I would recommend this book only to those persons who really like the thrillers, and the action stories; because it has disappointed me, so when I chose it, the first I noticed was the cover and I like it a lot, I thought that it would be a different story set in New York, but I think that I would have like a different kind of book. But I know that there are people interested in this kind of stories ¿Why not?

FORMAL LETTER

C/ El rentador 4
Castelló d'Empúries
14th April 2011


Mr John
Director of the NuclearPower Association
London
UK

Dear Mr Ritch,

I am a young student from the high school IES Castelló d'Empúries. I have lived here since 2000 and luckily there aren't nuclear power stations near to my town. After the events in Japan, I will be worried.

I don't agree that the other countries should be put in danger because of the nuclear power, because I know that it can make people's living conditoins worse.

However, I do understand that we need the power created by nuclear power stations. I'm strongly in favor with the idea of revising all the nuclear power stations to prevent the bad consequences that a non-safe facility can cause. I hope you take action to solve these kinds of problems which are causing health problems amongst human and animals. We do not want another disaster like Japan.

I hope you agree with my letter.

I look forward to what the plans for the nuclear power organitzation will be.


Yours sincerelly,

Helena Sánchez

JAMES BLUNT - Goodbye my lover


LYRICS

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.







Comment on the Blunt's song
James Blunt is an English singer who was born in Tidworth, Wiltshire, in 1974. He won two BRIT awards and was nominated three times at Grammy prices. His first album, called “Back to Bedlam” and other singles, such as thehit “You’re beautiful” were the ones which throw him to the fame in 2005. His style is influenced by the pop and the rock music. So, apart from sing, Blunt plays a lot of instruments, like the piano, the guitar and the organ. So I have to notice that he was the first British singer to get the number one in the USA lists, so also, his song “You’re beautiful” got the high position in the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006, so it’s important to notice that the last artist who did it, was Elton John in 1997 with the song “Candle in the Wind”.

The song that I've chosen to work on is one of my favourits of James Blunt, or at least, is the one that transmits me more sensations. I consider it a sad song, and sometimes, in depending on the situation that I listen to it, it makes me feel sad too. But I like this sensation, I like when a song is such as good that makes me understand the feelings that it wants to express.
It talks about a goodbye, so the subject talks about things that he have shared with his love/friend and says goodbye to her. It's a sad song because, he expresses a feeling which is common in our lives, when we have to say goodbye to someone that has been so important for us, so also, Blunt tells to his lover that she has been the one for him.
Finally, I will notice, that I give a lot of importance at the song's lyrics, and that's why I love this one.

If you want more information about this singer, you can visit his official site, which is full of interesting things, such as concert dates, photos and videos! James Blunt official site

Last months on the high shcool


As you know, we're right now on the last month here, so we have just started the third term and it's full of important exams. At the beginnig of the course I also thought that it would be serious, but it's now when I fell really frightened. When I started this term I thought that I wouls stufy a lot for each exam, but the days pass so fast and sometimes I'm too stressed to organize my time.


In a few days we will finish the course, then we will have to study for selectivity and then we will be about to decide our future. I'm frightened because I need a very good mark for the university studies that I want to do, and my marks aren't excellent, they are too irregular; I think that when I have to study I'm too influenced by my emotions and that's a problem, because I recognize that I can't concentrate.


I think that we've got a lot of pressure over us and, in some way, these final exams are the ones that are going to decide our future. I hope I will be able to study what I want, I will work hard for these last exams, because I have a problem: I don't know what I would study if I couldn't get the necessary mark for journalism.

UNFAITHFUL, a TV series.


Unfaithful is a TV series which talks, especially, about love, hate, lies, worries, mistakes, friendship and obviously, as its name shows, infidelity. This is a series which is presented by tv3 (Television de Catalunya); it started on the 26th of March in 2009. At the beginning, first you think it is about being unfaithful to someone, but now, I've discovered that it talks also about being unfaithful to yourself, because the main characters make mistakes that have bad consequences, and these things make their relationships with families and partners worse .

The main characters (Joana, Paula, Lidia, Cruz and Arlet) are five friends who have got a close friendly relation, they know all about the others and they go together to many places, like the swimming pool, which is one of the spaces where we can see them all together talking, especially about their problems, worries and love relationships.

These five girls have got very different experiences and characters, but I have noticed that they've got also a lot of things in common:

Joana has got two children, and that makes her a more responsible woman, but she's a little insecure and she cares about what people say about her. At the beginning of the series, her husband is working in Buenos Aires, and she has noticed that he is in love with another woman, so she breaks her relationship and along the series she starts other relations, such as with Peter, who is a porn star.

Paula is the one who I identify with. She's got a bar, where she works every day, so that's why she knows a lot of interesting people. Paula is a "free soul" she doesn’t care about what people say about her and she sometimes forgets her best friends, who need her. At the end of the series, Paula has become a good writer. I have to notice, that at the start, Paula was married to Marc, but she broke up with him when she knew that Marc had cancer.

Lidia is a psychologist, who had always been so secure of herself, but she has had to overcome her husband's death and she has become a little insecure. Through the series she became a nymphomaniac and she has had some strange relationships.

Cruz is an economist who lives with her ex husband, who has become an homosexual, her fiancé and her daughter. Cruz has got a very patient character, so when she is about to get married with her future husband, she notices that he's being unfaithful to her, but she tries to go on with their relationship; but at the end, she is unfaithful to to him too and she's falling in love with the other man, Esteban.

Arlet is the youngest character. She has got a special character, maybe, I identify also with her because she's young and she sees love in a different way to her friends. She's a teacher and her character shows it, so she's also very patient, but on some occasions she seems to be a little childish. Also she is in a relationship with a boy, but she's, in secret, falling in love with a girl that she has met. At the end of the series, Arlet is pregnant, and her son will have two mothers, Arlet and Dani (Daniela).
