HISTORY OF A PRODUCT: MINI COOPER

Hy, my name's Laia and now I'm going to explain the history of the car "Mini Cooper".

The Mini is a small economy car made by the Bristish Motor Corporation (BMC) and it's successors from 1959 until 2000. Is manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants in England.

John Cooper was a co-founder, with his father Charles Cooper, of the Cooper Car Company. He became an auto racing legend with his rear-engined chassis design that would eventually change the face of the sport at its highest levels, from Formula One to the Indianapolis 500. They collaborated on making a sportier Mini which was then called the Mini Cooper.

The vehicle is in some ways considered the British equivalent of its German contemporary the Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America. In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T.

To distinguish it from its predecessor (the 'classic Mini'), the brand name for the new car is MINI (written in capital letters). It is often called 'The BMW MINI', 'The New MINI', or simply 'MINI'.

MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS 

TRANSCRIPTION:

Hy, my name's Laia and now I'm going to talk about my summer holidays.

-First I'm going to talk about l'Estartit.

-Second I'm going to talk about my stage for a week in Palamos with my friend Laia Gan.

-Third I'm going to talk about my holidays in Mikonos.

Let's start!

Last summer I spent a long time in l'Estartit, it's my favourite place. The firsts days we were in a summercamp with children and this year it was for three weeks.

After this two friends from Brussels came, Victor and Joséphine. I sepnt a long time with them. The girl rides a horse and she rode all the time with me and the boy, Victor, who doesn't ride a horse but he love to spend all day with us in the hipica.

And in the end it was hard to say goodbye because we spent a lot of time together. The next summer they will come again.

In the middle of August, I went with my friend Laia Gan and her family in Palamós for one week because they are from Barcelona. Laia is a really good friend and she's fourteen years old.

In the morning we sometimes went to the beach, in the swimming pool...always with Oliver, the Laia's friend, he's seventeen years.

The parents of Laia are separated and she normally studies in Torroella de Montgrí with her mother. But this year for personal reasons, Laia has to go to Barcelona with her father and her mother too, and was hard again to say goodbye because this year I won't see her often.

The last week of August I went with my father, my father's wife and my sister to Mikonos in Greece for a one week. We were in hotel called Mikonian Imperial and it was really really nice! The first day we arrived at 10 o'clock in the night. The first day in Mikonos was beautiful. It's a very small island but the people are friendly, generous and cozy.

The other days were perfect, one day there was a gay party, and there were a lot of gays everywhere.

Indeed, Mikonos is the gay's paradise.

We came back to Banyoles on Saturday and after this I started the school.

Any questions?

Thanks for your attention!

I stayed in l'Estartit all the time. The first 2 weeks we did a summer camp for a childrens because I did the practices for the titol of premonitor. T
he first week was horrible because it was a lot of children and they knew nothing about horses. We did games with and without horses, the summercamp was only in the morining. At about 9 o'clock we did classes and prepared horses and after that we did games. And this for two weeks.

When the summercamp was finished my friends: Marina, Judith and me prepared the stage in CAVA (Sant Martí Vell), we brought the horses there for one week and in the end of this week we did a night competition. My friends and me stayed in my grandparent's house because they lived in Juia and Juia was next to Sant Marti Vell. We did a special summercamp with an other persons, we did 2 classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We did a 1 the oretical class and in the noon we lunch, we went to the swimming pool and went we came back we ate something and went to did a class. In the end of the week we did a competition in the night, came my pathers, my grandparents, my friends of l'Estartit...and the familys of my friends.

And finally went we came back of l'Estartit, we (my family and I) spent 5 days in Santa Crsitina with my friends. My friends have a 2 childrens, the boy was the same age of my sister and the girl was the same age of me. In the morning sometimes we did a little excursion in the mountain.
