3st. Oral presentation by Pep Esteve Calvo
Oral presentation by Pep Esteve Calvo
WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE CULTURE?
I have chosen this topic because I have been thinking about it for a long time.
My father is an intellectual and he told me about this type of problems.
For this reason I’m going to tell you my point of view about what happens to the culture.
BEFORE WHAT HAPPENED?
Centuries ago people felt the culture around them. They loved the culture.
They went to the libraries, also studies, read, wrote in their houses, and went to the theatre to listen to classic music. Sometimes they read and wrote poetry, they were artists.
For this reasons the society was smarter, remember the famous gentlemen and the people walking in the famous parks.
On other hand there were the dresses, hats, skirts and beautiful clothes that show us their intellect.
I admire the people of the centuries ago, most of all the society at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
People like Frank Lloyd Wright, who was an architect from
NOWADAYS WHAT HAPPEN? and WHY?
Nowadays the feeling of the people with the culture is very strange, because I think that there are a lot of people who flee from culture. There are people who hate reading, writing and listening to classical music.
You are a freak if you do these things and also if you play an instrument, listen to classical music or read poetry and novels only for pleasure.
What happen with this? My hypothesis is that nowadays people don’t have willpower for anything, and we can see it every day in the jobs.
For this reason I think that I can triumph in life, I have the willpower.
And also the worst thing at the moment is that people don’t mind falling into the mediocre.
If before there was Frank Lloyd Wright, actually there are Lord Norman Foster and the best Santiago Calatrava, on other hand there is Zaha Hadid, she is recent but her stye is futurist.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE PEOPLE DON’T REACT?
If the people don’t change their mind a lot of bad things will happen.
The society will fall into decline, because there will were problems with people that don’t have intellectual hobbies.
There are people who never do these things and only smoke and drink alcohol.
The inculture causes violence, remember the skinheads, marrocan people, killos, etc.
If people don’t study there will be people who will control all the industries and this will be a problem.
CONCLUTION
We need to love the culture, please try to study arts, like the people of centuries ago.

NEEW 9 - “Torre dels Vents”
In Trragona, Antoni Mas is the artist and specifically this work “Torre dels Vents” is situated in one of Tarragone’s prominent locations in Rambla Nova and Plaça de les Corts Catalanes.
At night there are 48 projectors to light.
It’s a big sculpture, but at the end of the “Torre dels Vents”. This sculpture was built in 1889 dedicated to Josep-Pau Virgili i Santromà, the name is “Aci Virgili”.
And also in
Well, It’s really an artistic square.
NEXT YEAR
The best thing to do to learn in my opinion is to read a book, because I can learn to structure the sentences and learn new words and expressions. Another opinion is to listen, read and write news.
But by the middle of the third term we should be able to speak a lot, because when I have the grammar the following step is to use it.
Each one needs to talk because the biggest problem is the shyness. If we talk a lot more calmly we can learn more and travel around the world freely.

SONG " I WILL BE WAITING"
He took your soul
You’re hurt inside
‘cause there is a hole
You need some time
to be alone
then you will find
what you’ve always known
I’m the one who really loves you baby
I’ve been waiting at your door
As long as I’m living, I will be waiting
As long as I’m breathing, I’ll be there
Whenever you call me, I will be waiting
When you need me, I’ll be there
I’ve seen you cry
Into the light
I feel your pain
Can I make it right
I realized there’s no end inside
Yet still I’ll wait
For you to see the light
I’m the one who really loves you baby
I can’t take it anymore
You are my only I’ve ever known
That makes me feel this way
Couldn’t on my own
I want to be with you please we’re old
You have the love you need
right in front of you
Please come home
T’estaré esperant
Ell trenca el teu cor
Ell toca la teva anima
Tu tens mal a dins
Perquè hi ha un forat
Tu necessites temps
per estar sola
després tu trobaràs
el que sempre has sabut
Jo sóc el que realment t’estima nena
Jo he estat esperant a la teva porta
Mentres visqui, t’estaré esperant
Mentres respiro, estaré allà
No importa quan truquis, t’estaré esperant
Quan em necessitis, jo estaré allà
Te vist plorar
A la nit
Sento el teu dolor
Puc fer algú per arreglar-ho?
Em vaig adonar de que no hi ha fi a dins
Jo t’esperaré
Fins que vegis la llum
Jo sóc el que realment t’estima nena
Jo he estat esperant a la teva porta
Ets la única que he conegut
Això em fa sentir així
No podia tot sol
Vull estar amb tu si us plau quan siguis gran
Tu tens l’amor que necessites
Just davant teu
Si us plau torna a casa
