Now we are at the end of school time concretly in the last week. This las week is only for people who want to increase their mark or pass some subjects. I want to try to increase some marks because at the begining of the year, the marks were weaker than now and the final mark now is not really high. For this reason I will try to improve some of my subjects, get better marks and in second year of batchillerat try to get a good average from the two years for the selectivity. Then if I get a good mark I will be able to choose what is the best career at university for me.
Titanic is a 1991 American èpic, romantic disaster film written and co-produced by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as Rose Dewitt Buckater. The film is based on a true story about the biggest cruise in the world and said by the builders to be an unsinkable ship. Unfortunatley the ship crashed into aniceberg and sank killing hundreds of people on its first voyage.
In the film Leonardo DiCaprio falls in love with Kate Winlet and they had their dreams for a life together that never happens because of the terrible accident. The biggest part of the film is people trying to save thenselves. It is a big drama, specially when you see people drowing in the freezing Atlantic Ocean.
I think it was very well made with beautiful music specially the song which became very well known "My heart will go on". Maybe the only part I found a little boring and too long showing how the boat was sinking and people suffering without a change.
This new talks about the outsourcing dirty emissions. The best example is China because rich countries in the West have long turned to China to produce cheap goods and outsourcing dirty emissions. Another example would be Mongolia that produced 80% of CO2 related emissions for goods used in richer areas as Bejing and Shanghai.
As far as I'm concerned, I think that all these rich countries, on the one hand are doing a good action because they employ a lot of people who need money to live and they give them a salary and a job. But, on the other hand, they export their industries outside the country to exploit less developed countries, get more benefit and don't pullute their own country with emissions.
In this last school year, I discover that I have improved a lot, not only in english, also in other subjects. I have learnt a lot because I have practiced a great deal specially with the blog. My posts in the blog were really different because obviously I have matured over this year. My vocabulary has increased thanks to the news that we have had to read and summarize.
The activities that have helped me to learn more was the your-says because are the only part of the blog where we can talk about what we want, is the most personal part of the blog.
In summary, all activities of this year I liked and I have been useful but, especially liked the blog.
Hello,
good morning, I'm Judith and now I will talk about an issue that
affects us all, the issue is unemployment. To begin I wil explain to
you what is unemployment and after I will explain the causes of this
situation.
What
is unemployment? Well, unemployment is the lack of work and wages,
and with this word has come to our ears the word “crisis”.
In
these last years we heve seen how Sapin has increased its numer of
unemployed and goes into bankruptcy thanks to poor political
management. The lack of work and money has made that there is a great
social unrest. Every day there are some demostrations to protest
against no action haveing taken by the government. The families are
suffering because at least one of two components that brings money to
the family is now unemployed. This is really bad for the country
because, I think that the population will go on decline, because the
families haven't money to hold, in to feed or to educate their
children, therefore people will stop having children.
Actually
this “crisis” affects many areas, for example: education and
health service.
In
education, every time there are more students in the same class and I
think that is an error because after arise problems as it explained
the last day Pau, because the education is really bad.
And
in health service, the problems are serious too, because they are
clossing a lot of operations rooms and this makes the waiting lists
grows longer and longer and people are dying before surgery.
Back
to the topic of unemployment, in Sapin the comunities which are more
affected are: Andalucia, Catalonia, Comunitat Valenciana and
Comunidad de Madrid. And sectors more afected are: construction,
administration, manufacturing and retail shops. Actually unemployment
arrives at 27% of Spain, I think that is a truly alarming number and
I hope this government puts a solution soon, because the future of
new generations will become worse. I think it will be terrible for
us, and worse to our children if we don't get a solution. Salaries
are becoming smaller and every time there are more and more people on
the streets because they have been driven away from their homes.
Well
to summerize all these ideas I want to show this foto: ¿Crisis?
¿Tú has visto a algún banquero en la cola del paro o a algún
ejecutivo rebuscando en las basuras? Los pobres soys más pobres y
punto. I think that this is
really what the ploiticans are doing whith us. They try to get richer
through people's sacrifice.
SELF EVALUATION
Presentation (10%)
In this presentation I use different resourses, for example: Prezzi, images and a little information included in the prezzi, that supports a lot of my presentation, because it helps other students to understand better what you are saying in your presentation. The imagies make the presentation more fluent and entertaining. (10%)
Body lenguage and eye contact (10%)
I try to look and focus my eyes at two or three people or ty not to look at the ground. When you look at the public, you connect with people and they listen to you. Sometimes I look at the paper to remember some things and in some interventions I point out some thing of this work. (10%)
Structure (10%)
I organized my presentation with a logical structure: the introduction, the global information and finally the conclusions. The sentences were short and easy to understand and I used conectors to link sentences and phrases. If you have a good organization, you can understand better the presentation. (8%)
Content (40%)
The objective of this work was to introduce and teach new information about unemployment. I think that, this objective was fulfilled. The images helped us understand the information and the message was clear.I hope that the information that I have provided has been useful to know a little more about unemployment. (30%)
Language (20%)
I think that, the grammar and vocabulary was correct and comprehensible. I use some connectors that have given fluency to text. (15%)
Pronunciacion and intonation (10%)
I hope that my pronuntiation was good, clear, comprehensible and quite fluent. I made some mistakes, but I think this is quite normal. (8%)
