this year it was really different in class because we did really the project and it was different for me than last year.
During the first term we practised a little bit for the selectivitat exams but we did more grammar like in the second term.
The third term was different because we did always things to improve our level to do selectivitat exams and we did only one grammar exam. This year was perfect for me because I had new friends and they were very kind with me and in general I had better marks in all the subjects.
Finally i have to say that congratulations for all the classmates which have passed second of batxillerat and say thank you for the english teachers for beeing pacient with us because I know that it is dificult. the best thing was the expirience of a native speaker in class. His name is Anika and she has been here in the high school to talk with the students an to improve her level of spanish and to learn some words in catalan.

3- Life in the Jane Austen's times (bonus material)
Comment on some differences that caught your attention.
the society during this time was very different than now because they were differences in the family, the social class etc.
Another thing that has caught our attention was that the a perfect woman had to have knowledges about music, art...
4- The State homes
Choose one of the houses where the film was set. Look up basic info, a picture and a moment in the film you particularly like.
Chatworth house
The 'Palace of the Peak' is a family home which was built to be shared with visitors. You are invited to walk at your own pace through the house, absorbing the atmosphere of its beautiful rooms and the story that they tell of the family's history over the last 450 years.
The house contains one of Europe's finest private art collections, representing 4000 years of European culture and craftsmanship, from ancient Greece to modern work by British artists. Between March and October these treasures are seen in magnificent rooms on all three floors of the house, from the grandeur of the 1st Duke's Painted Hall and State Apartments with their rich decoration and painted ceilings, to the 19th century Library, Great Dining Room and Sculpture Gallery. Wardens in the rooms can answer your questions, and there are beautiful guidebooks and an audio guide available.
One moment in the film was when Mr. Darcy says to Elisabeth that he loves her.
5- Dating traditions (bonus material)
She plays one of the most important female roles in literature. What is your view Ms Elizabeth Bennett? Is she a heroine? How different is she from her sisters?
Listen to the interview with Keira Knightley about the film.
Ms. Elisabeth is more intelligent, she isn't traditional because she does what she likes and what she thinks. Yes. She doesn't agree with traditional aspects of the moment.
7- AlternativeUS ending: Why is a different ending required? Which do you prefer?
Because the US people want to see the kiss because they are more traditional and more romantic.
I prefer the second end because I like to see the kiss.
8- Views on marriage. This is Jane Austen's opinion:
"Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least(...)and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life."
from: Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811
In the one hand, you have to entrust in the person who you are married because if you don't entrust with her/him the marriage would be very difficult. If you are gelous the marriage would not work at all because it would be very difficult for both persons.
In the other hand, if you have chance you would have happiness in marriage because that's the question.
On the whole, have chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from: Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, 1811
- What do you think? Knowing each other very well is no guarantee of happiness?
- No I don't agree with this because if you know each other very well you can improve things that the other person don't like.
- Write your opinion in 100 words: "Happiness in marriage is a question of chance"
In the one hand, you have to entrust in the person who you are married because if you don't entrust with her/him the marriage would be very difficult. If you are gelous the marriage would not work at all because it would be very difficult for both persons.
In the other hand, if you have chance you would have happiness in marriage because that's the question.
