Spanish footballer Gerard Pique confirms relationship with Shakira

Gerard Pique has confirmed his relationship with pop star Shakira following a request from Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, who said that constant rumors over the relationship were affecting the Catalonian side.

Pique posted a photo of himself with the Colombian star on his Facebook profile. In the photo, Pique appears alongside Shakira, Puyol, Malena Costa and some other friends celebrating his birthday.

According to the media, a photo of the Barca defender and Shakira together has become one of the most sought after images, and could fetch up to €150,000.

Shakira was previously in a stable relationship with Argentinean Antonio de la Rua, who is 37, while 23-year-old Pique, was model Nuria Tomas' boyfriend. They both split up with their couples in January.

Pique is currently playing as a central defender for FC Barcelona, and formerly played for the Manchester United, where he had his debut in 2004. He played an integral role in the Spain side that won the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

_______

Shakira is a woman who is thirty-five years old. She is a good singer and dancer. She has sold more than sixty millions of discs. Gerard Piqué is a man who is twenty-four years old. He is a football player of team Barça, and he plays defense.

They takes ten years old, but they fall in love. You can see in internet or in magazines different photos of Shakira and Piqué. They are kissing, or they are taking the hand, or walking together..

I think that Shakira and Piqué are very beautiful and they make good couple and they can during much time.

Anna: Bea, what did you think when you said “yes” to Chris?

Bea: Can you understand me, please? I love him!

A: But.. I don’t like Chris for you..

B: Anna, he is my boyfriend not yours, isn’t it?

A: Yes, I agree, but you are my friend and I want you to be happy forever!

B: I’m happy with him, he is my life, my love!

A: He isn’t for you! There are a million of boys and you choose the worst!

Interview

I found an interview to an English person who lives in Olot.

I found it interesting and so I would like to share it with you.

Juli Ann Ellis moved to Catalonia from the US in 1999. She lives in Olot with her husband. She lives in Olot with her husband and her son.

Juli explains us that she live in Olot a little over 11 years. She thinks that the thing would like to change is the expensive price of the things, and she goes to Girona for buy.

The thing that she most miss is the food and the family. And when she goes to visit the family she brings Ratafia for they.

She things that the bus system is fantastic and if we visit Olot we had to visit el Museu dels Volcans, Parc Nou and Restaurant La Deu. And the place where is avoid at all cost is the hospital.

And for finish she said that the best time of year to plan a visit is in September.

"Los Protegidos"

Now I am going to talk about a TV serie that it called "Los Protegidos".

It is to transmet all Sundays at ten o'clock. It's interesting and different to the others series.

It's about a childrens who have a different powers, and there are people who want to take the childrens for a one reason that we don't know yet.

The main characters are Mario and Jimena, (Mario is the Carlitos father, and Jimena is the women who is in the house like the mother for the childrens) and the childrens, Carlitos, Lucia, Lucas, Culebra, Sandra, Angel and Blanca.

The objective of Jimena is find her son, the objective of Mario is help Jimena and for the children the objective is learn to control their powers.

The children, Mario and Jimena live together in a house.

Also the children go to school and they had to watch over for the powers.

Carnival.

Every year at the end of February or at the beggining of March it's celebrate one tradition all the world, the Carnival.

This year like every year I disguise with my friends.

Friday 4 of March I am going to go to Roses, Saturday 5 in Sant Pere Pescador and Saturday 12 in Castelló d'empúries.

In my town, Sant Pere Pescador, Saturday at four o'clock begins the "rua" that all people who is disguise will go with float and it takes a turn around the town. Each of the float bring their disguise and their music. Also there are people who will walk without carriage. After the turn there is dancing in the "Centre Civic" until nine approximately. And at twelve there is dancing another time until four or five a.m.

The next day, Sunday, like every year there is a rice in the park.

White week

This year in Catalonia we have a holiday week since 28 of February until 6 of March because we started one week before in September.

My family and a friends of my parents, we went to País Basc, San Sebastian.

The first day we left at 6 a.m. and we arrived there at one o'clock approximately.

During these days we went to San Sebastian for see the town, and also we went one day to Bilbao for see the town and the museum Guggenheim. (In this museum we found the english teacher, Joan Carles).

We were fifteen people and we stayed in one rural house.

This house only were for us. We breakfast there, but everyday we went to had lunch in a restaurant, and had dinner depend the day, in the house or in a restaurant.

There were three floors. The first floor there were the livingroom, the kitchen and one toilette. In the second floor there were four rooms for the four couples. In the last floor there were two rooms, one for the boys and the other for the girls.

This travel was fantastic, we had fun a lot.

The places were beautiful, and the rural house was perfect because it was only for us.

And it was the first time that I have gone to Pais Basc.

Oral presentation

Good morning, I’m Anna and I’m going to talk about my research project.

The name of my work is “Miquel Alimentació Grup” that it is a company.

I have choosen this topic because my intention for the next year is to go to university for do “ADE”.

And also I have choosen in particular this company because the evolution is very interesting, from 1925 until now.

My goals.

One of my goals was to study the evolution of the company.

And my second goal was introduce me in the economy world.

The structure of my research project was divided in three parts.

The first was the theoretic part. It was composed by for the history of the company and the characteristics.

The second part was “dades econòmiques” of the company.

And the last part was the practical part. This part was the characteristics of the Vilamalla store.

Also I did one interview to the president of the company, Pere Lymon, and the told me about the future projects.

With the practical part I went to the Vilamalla store for see how it is and to know how they are working in this company.

My problems while I did the research project were:

-I don’t find a good explanation about some sections.

-And with the “Registre Mercantil”, because I had to go in Girona.

Conclusions

-After I did the research project:

I could know the distribution world.

I think that did this topic it will be help me to understand more the subject “Empresa”.

The three things that impressed me more are the “consell directiu” it’s composed for the Miquel’s family and “el volum de facturació annual” it’s higher than one thousand million euros.

Discount.

Every year after the holiday Christmas, the seven day of January began the discounts in Spain, mainly the big stores, the clothes shop, shoes, etc, and approximately until 28 February.

During this time we can find articles with a discount of 25%, 50% and some of them with a discount of 70%. The majority of people go to the shopping because this will can to save money. It's habitual see for the TV imatges of the 7 day of January, the first day of discounts, where we can see the people to come in the bigs stores in the moment of their aperture.

The establishments are obligates to expose the antic price, the discount price and the percentage discount.

Rugby.

Every year there are six countries that celebrate a rugby tournament called "sis nacions". The participants are England, Ireland, Scotland, Wles, France and Italy.

Each rugby team are form for fifteen outfield players more the suplents. The sport consist of arrive with the ball on the other side of the field and it deposited on the floor.

This tournament in concret have very prestige between the participant countries and for the players represents all a honour can participate.

At the beginning this tournament only played the four team of the British islands, after a years France was added, and a few years after, Italy.

There are three trophies in the competitions: one for the team that get win, the other for the best classification of the team of British islands, and the last, the trophy anyone want it because it is a wood spoon that give for the country that not gets win any match.
