Oral Presentation: Unemployment

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%)

FINAL MARK 8.1

Star Trek: Into Darkness (New)

This new talks about the last film of Star Trek "Into Darkness" that tops Us box office. This film despite their great success, failed to beat the oppening weekend  of the previous Star Trek film, but left Iron Man 3 into second place and The Great Gatsby into third. This film collects about 70.6$ - 46.4M € over the weekend. The 2009 Star Trek film took $75.2m - 49.4M € approximately. 

Personally I feel that the film "Into Darkness" of the series Star Trek has got a lot of followers because  the number of spectators are really outsize and every year they have more and more followers. It's true that over the years heve been many film idols but, I think that Mr Spock remains a classic.

Apple (New)

Apple has been accused of being among American's largest tax avoiders. Apples is accused because had used a complex web of offshore entities to avoid paying billions of dollars in US income taxes. The US Senate had said that Apple paid little or nothing on billions of dollars in profits placed in Irlish subsidaries. 
Apple chief, Tim Cook will go before the panel of sudgest on Tuesday. In preparing testimony Apple said it didn't use tax gimmicks and the US Senate said there was no indication the firm acted illegally. 

As far as I'm concerned that if Apple has acted in lucrative form they will repay all the money that have been saved avoiding payment of taxes in US. I hope all that will be a misunderstanding, because if this is true Apple could be affected. I think that they can lose a lot of buyers and inverstors. 




Syrian rebels and army clash around Aleppo prison (new)

Syrian government troops and rebels have faced each other around a prison in northern city of Aleppo. Reporters claim that the rebel fighters might have attempted to free the prisoners, it is estimated the prison, holds 4000 inmates. They counter-attacked using tank shells and air rails. The rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) promised to punish criminals after it appeared a offensive video which showed a rebel biting a dead soldier's organs.
In Aleppo, rebels were still creating chaos detonating car bombs outside the walls prison.

Personally I feel that this conflict between rebels opposed to the gevernment of Baath and Syrian regular army should end because there are a lot of lives at stake. Most lives are innocent and not deserve to live in this terrible situation with many deaths and sufferings. I hope they find a solution very soon.

Radioactive (Song)

I’m waking up to ash and dust Em desperto en lescendres i la pols
I wipe my brow and sweat my rust Em netejo la suor del front i els meus defectes
I’m breathing in the chemicals Estic respirant substàncies químiques

I’m breaking in and shaping up Me estoy rompiendo y perfila
Then checking out on the prison bus A continuació, la sortida a la parada de la pressó
This is it the apocalypse Això és l'apocalipsis

ohohoh

I’m waking up Em desperto
I feel it in my bones Ho sento en els meus ossos
Enough to make my systems grow El suficient per fer créixer els meus sentiments

Welcome to the new age Benvingut a la nova era

whoa-oh

I’m breaking in and shaping up
M'estic trencant i perfila
Then checking out on the prison bus A continuació, la sortida a la parada de la pressó

Això és l'apocalipsis

whoa-oh

I’m waking up
Em desperto
I feel it in my bones Ho sento en els meus ossos

I like this song very much because I think that gives a lot of vitality. I like the songs that gives strenght because helps me to bee happy, nice, cheer... and help me to face difficult situations. This song show me that I have to fight for what ever I want and shows you that if you ever fall you must get up quickly.
In a official videoclip it's represents a cook fighting with toy animals. The toy animals fight until death, there are always one of the two that win always. Suddenly appears to ba like a toy animal which is inofensive looking, a the end wins. 
This message is telling us that we must go forward and never look back.

"Bazar"

Now I will talk about a problem that affects almost everybody, I'm talking about Chinese people. Nowadays there are a lot of "Bazars". I think that this ia a really big problem to us because, they buy or rent a lot of premises and they put the same type of bussines, selling the same things. If they put different bussines I think that would't be as bad, but in this way they compete with each other. 
People rent theirs premises because Chinese people are really good payers and people who rent or sell they have no problems in getting their money, therefore owners are always keen to rent or sell to Chinese people. 


Wind Tunnel

A few days ago I expect to go to Wind Tunnel. I want do this very much because a lot of my friends alredy go and thay say that it's a really good experience,because you can feel like flying. I like it sports of risck very much , knowing new experiences and knowing my limits. In the Wind Tunnel of Empuriabrava, I know one of the coaches and I hope one day he will coach me because I feel will be safer and I think that it will be funnier and moer interesting if he was my coach, because he is an amusing guy who always likes to have fun.
