The literal transcription:
Hello everybody, my names is Pau Ubric, I am sixteen years old and I live in Sant Pere Pescador, the best village in L’Alt Empordà. Well, today I want to talk about Marea, my favourite musical group, that I like so much.
Marea is a Spanish group that started in Berriozar, Navarra, in nineteen ninty-seven, for Kutxi Romero, the most important member to the group.
Well, first the group was called “La Patera”, and when they went to register the name of his band to lunch their first album called “Marea”, they learned that other group was called “La Patera”, and this was a problem. What happens? That the band change the name and it pass to called Marea and the first album “La Patera”.
The band had got three records labels which are BMG, GOR and Dro Records, with the last had gor very problems, I don’t know why...
Well, the symbol that characterizes Marea is a skull crossed by two knives, the symbol to the pirates.
Well, the band is formed for five members who are Eduardo Beaumont, alias “El Piñas”, that he plays the bass; the other is Cesar Ramallo, the guitarist; David Díaz, called Kolibrí, that he plays the electric guitar; Alén Ayerdi, the drummer, because he plays the drums and finally, Kutxi Romero that is the singer.
Well, Marea has extracted 6 albums, La Patera, Revolcón, Besos de perro, 28000 puñaladas, Las aceras están llenas de piojos, and today they extracted Las putas mas viejas del mundo. Well, the first has got eight songs and the others have got eleven. Marea has got a website, if you want to know about this, you can go: losmarea.com.
Good, my oral presentation has finished, if you have got any questions,...
Check your Language and Structure. Can you correct your mistakes?
Yes, I can; I think that for my next oral presentation, I must be relaxed and look my audience. I must pronounce ALL my words too.

Pau: Oh my god! I forgot this...
Celia: Well, I think that it would be great go to the cinema...
Pau: Ah OK, I agree with you.
Celia: So, let's phoned Xavi now, and we will meet him on the cinema.
Pau: Ok,... "Hi Xavi, I'm Pau, how are you?"
Xavi: Ey Pau, I'm fine thanks. What are you doing?
Pau: Well,... mmm... I'm with Celia in a bar... yes, in a Bar!
Xavi: Ah okey... What you want?
Pau: I'm phoning you for asked you if you want to go to the cinema with me and Celia.
Xavi: Ok! Which day will you go to the cinema?
Pau: Saturday; is good for you?
Xavi: Ah,.. Perfect! We can meet at 6 o'clock in front of the cinema.
Adrian Mole & Thirteen
I think that Adrian Mole and Tracy at the begining were very similar, because they were good student and they worried for their friends.
But on the time, Tracy changes from a nice girl to the worst exemple for teenagers because she consumes drugs, that's because she has a bad influence called Evie (a popular girl in Tracy's school), she cuts herself, she stole,...
One of the reasons why Tracy changes so much is because Evie leads her to wrong way, and when Tracy goes with her "new friend", she evolves to a fashion victim, because both go shopping everyday in city's centre and she doesn't do her homeworks. Apart from that, her parents never listen to her and also her poor popularity in the highschool. All these things makes Tracy evolves to a "radical girl".
However, Adrian Mole doesn't change. Her parents divorced and moreover her best friend falls in love with his girlfriend. He was worried for the problems that he had but he doesn't evolves to anything.
In my opinion, I think that the film "thirteen" is very shocking for young guys who are 13 years old and if they see this film, they will do what Tracy does, because they would realize that they would be a popular person. So this film should be seen by mature people. However I enjoyed it. About the book "The secret diary of Adrian Mole" I think that is a boring book because the protagonist is very quite, and so he hasn't got any amuzing adventures.
