HOTEL OF CARDS

In many hotels, it is common to use key cards to enter in your room. Now a designer in NY has made an entire hotel out of key cards! The carpets, the tables, the toilets and also the bed linen are made from 200000 hotel key cards. The idea was to improve the hotel's image. But this bed doesn't look very comfortable!

MINI-CHESS

This is the smallest chess set in the world! It is 3,2 cm by 3,2, and it's magnetic so the pieces don't fall off when you play. It was made by Jaspal Singh Kalsi, from India, who makes other miniature models. But how can he see the King and Queen when he plays?

ROBO-CHEF














Imagine coming home for school to find a robot cooking your dinner! Well, that's possible now in Japan.
The robot stirs the ingredients in a bowl, pours them into a pan and servers your food. It also asks you what sort of sauces and condiments you would like. But if you want to understand, you'll have to learn Japanese



THE WORLD IS SICK!

REFLECTION: 2ND TERM PORTFOLIO

I think that blogs are good. You can learn a lot!

The activity which improves me a lot, was the recipe, because you had to write, translate, prepare, record, and make a video. This activity was the best. The activity was very funny, but the best thing was that, then you could eat your recipe.
It was difficult but it doesn't matter!

The most difficult activity was WRITING. You had to prepare what do you like to say, who do you say, correct the spelling mistakes and record it.

I think that my last term objectives are to improve my speaking and writing.



The best blog of my class is made by SERGI, because they have all the tags.
