My English competence in 2013
My best oral evidence is the second, where I explains my research work.
I chosen these evidence because I think that in this presentation I use a large vocabulary and spoke quite well, without stoppages and answering well the questions from my colleagues.
I think I do well especially yoursays, because I speak about something that I like, or I'm interested and it costs less. So I believe that it would be better to do more yoursays and less news because people would do so with more enthusiasm.

Is it ever right for a therapist to cry?
A study by Amy Blume-Marcovici, a clinical psychologist of the Alliant University in San Diego (USA), says that 3/4 of the terapists cried some day listening their patients.
She happened this, and she felt bad because she thought that maybe she had been unprofessional.
The study says that most of the patients have never seen that their therapists were crying, and that therapists, that has happened this, could be experts or beginners.
The 30% of respondents had cried the last four weeks.
In conclusión, we can say that very often therapists cry, but their patients don't see them, because I think that this would give a bad view of their work, because might seem inexperienced in the subject.
New words
Inexperienced: inexpert.
Theraphy sessions: sesions de terapia.
Unutterably: extraordinàriament.

Aggressive Skating
Aggressive skating is a sport that is practiced in skateparks, or on the streets of the city.
To practice this sport just need special skates for aggressive skating, and depends on the terrain where you practice it, you also need wax to slide better.
The difference with the common skate is that the wheels are wider, and among the four wheels, there is a space to grind better.
The aggressive skating emerged in the 80s, and now California is where the sport is practiced more, but in almost every cityies there are people who practice it.
Finally, I must say, that this sport is hard to learn, because there aren't teachers to teach it, but learned alone, or looking like other more experienced skaters, and especially is difficult to avoid the falls, if you want to learn. But when learning new tricks, the satisfaction is great.

Gisela Pulido
Gisela Pulido since she was 9 years old in 2003, has been one of the best kitesurfers of the world.
She was born in 1994 in Premia de Mar (Barcelona), but later had to move to Tarifa (Cadiz), to practice kite as she studied.
She has won:
-8 times kitesurf world champion feestyle (2004-2011).
-4 times kitesurf world champion PKRA (2007-2011).
-Gold medal in Gravity Games (2005).
-Champion wave Master (2005).
-Junior European Champion (2003).
This year hasn't been the best for her at a competitive level, because she was third in the Worls Cup. But she can't say it's been a bad year, because it has also successfully written a book called "Without fear of falling".
Finally, she still lacks many competitions to win.
