Final reflection

When I see my blog space and I see all the writings and I really think that I have improved a lot. For example, in the writings of the 1st term I used very few connectors and I had almost vocabulary but in the writings of the 3st term I have used more connectors and thanks to the oral presentations and school hours I have learned new words and now I have more vocabulary. 


The activity that best shows my level is all my blog because when I do the writings I have the help of dictionaries and this way I could improve my writing more. 
One the activity that I help me improve my level English has been the blog because this activity helps you improve your writing, as are ten writings for therm. Also this activity that has helped me improve my level of English is the oral presentations because I was able to work better my pronuntation, this is the most difficult aspect for me. 


The activity that I didn't find useful my level have been exams because I studied a lot and I understan the theory part but after I didn't know how to apply it to practice and this is a problem because really I tried hard for exams. 
Also there is another activity that doesn't help me to improve is when we were in the language classrom because I couldn't concentrate enough, because English is so difficult. 


For me there is one activity I like a lot this is the podcast because I think that it is the activity that I enjoy most when I did the podcast I had different voice and I think that was the most entertains enjoyed more was the classrom English when the teacer prepares activites because we can talk and this way I could learn a lot of English.


In conclusion I hope that next year I will be able to learn more and so I can pass bachillerat well. I also think that I've worked hard this year. 

The oral presentation

podcast

The oral presentation

Valoration 


I believe that I did the last presentation pretty well although this presentation was the most difficult with respect to the other presentation  because I think that the subject was difficult. 
Mariana and me also we have greatly improved the organitation because while we were explaining we changed the project and I think that this way people could understand. 


In my opinion, I think that in the other presentation I didn't read a lot respect the other presentations because I was not so nervous, but however I read a bit. The other thing that we was realited because be more interesting we put example about famous people that they take drugs. 
The pronunciation I have improve a bit, when I was at home preparing the presentation I searched the pronunciation of words that I didn't know. I learned a lot of pronunciation of words like tobacco, alcohol, hallucinogens, illegal... 
I think the power-point it's well because there are a lot of images and there weren't any words, this way I believe that it is not so tired because the people even they listened can see the images of power-point. 


In conclusion, I agree that if we do the presentations, we learnt a lot for the future. 


Transcription


Introduction 


In this presentation we are going to talk about drugs, their consequences and how drugs affect in young people. We have chosen this subject because nowadays we can see this problem all around us. 
We also chose this subject because we think that people take drugs to forget their problems or to relax because they think that drugs aren't a problem to their healt. There are other people who take drugs in order to have new sensations. With this project we show you a consequences of drugs. 


There are three types of drugs :


-Nervous system stimulatns: The affects that these drugs have : to improve the mood and increase happiness, decrease appetite, you lose sleep and increase in your heart beat. You stay nervous all the time, the famous drugs of these types are: the coffe, tobacco, cocaine, anphetaminas, antidepressive. 


-Nervous system depressions : These types of drugs relax the nervous system. If you take big doses the drugs canpaeralize your brain and can cause death to the person. People take these drugs to sleeping, despression and for personal distress. The famous drugs of these types are : alcohol, barbiturates and drugs of opio. 


-Hallucinogens: These drugs produce hallucionations. These types of drugs affect only your brain , cause dilation of the pupils, cold in the arms and legs and stomach pain. These drugs can also produce frightening and traumatic experiences. 
The usually drug of these types are: cannabis, LSD and the natural hallucinogens are the fungi. 


Illegal and legal drugs


The illegal drugs can't be consumed, cultivate or sold people who don't obey the law, can go to jail or pay a fine depending on the quantity or drugs they have. Illegal drugs are: opiates, cannabis, cocaine or hallucinogens.


Legal drugs are drugs that the law doesn't ban and people you can take and buy thse drugs anywhere. legal drugs are alcohol, tobacco and  coffee. 


Conclutions 


We think that nowadays young people start talking drugs earlier and this is a problem because during you teenage years your body and brain become mature and drugs affect your body more. 

We have almost learnt to respect our world

Nowadays, there are a lot of problems in the world. 
I disagree with this sentance because in my opinion there are some things that we need for respect and improve our world. 


First of all, I believe that these problems happen because everyone are quite selfish and when happen more time people are more selfish. I also think that the majority of people don't think about the world and all the types of problems are augmented to cause it. 


I also believe that the people don't think for future, maybe their children have life worse that now. 
If you want a better world in the future, you have to prevent the pollution especially of industries. We also will have to respect the world, to prevent to waste and rubbish because these problems affects a lot of at atmosphere and environment. 


In conclusion, I believe that in the future we learn to respect our world but all the people will have help for to get a big improve the world. 
There are some solutions about this problem like if people shared cars, they'd use less petrol. Also we would have eat organic food for not to have waste. 

Animals

In my country there are a lot of pets, in general the people have similar pets like, dogs, cats, hamsters, rabits, turtles... 
Avantatges of pets is that the people entratein because when you have a animal is similar when you have a son because you have to look after him all day. So when you decide have a animal you have to be very sure. 
There are a lot of people that they have animals but they souldn't have because they don't look after of sufficient and a lot of this people ill-treat his animals. I also believe that if you have a animal, you have to take it for a walk because the animals also need go out. 


Nowadays, there are a lot of people that they have animals a lot extrange animals that I think that you can have them at home like snackes, reptails... I also think that to have an animal at home it's important to have enought for space, for example, it's not very convinient to have a dog in small flat, it's better if you life in a house with a garden. 


In conclusion, I believe that you most remember that having an animal is not sheap, because you have to by speciall food and you most visit the vet regulary. 

Contaminated cucumbers

A few days ago there was a big problem in Germany, this problem was caused by cucumbers. They said the cucumbers from spanish farmers have bacterias but really this statement was false. 
In my opinion, I think that this news affects a lot of people and also the economy of Spain because people don't but spanish cucumbers. Also there are about seventeen people who have died, sixteen in Germany and one person in Sweden. More than 1500 people have been affected by different types of bacteria. 


I believe that in the place that has been most affected is in Spain, although it was not their problem, nowadays people have stopped buying cucumbers. In Rusia they have also banned the import of vegetables from the European Union. 


I think that this problem could affect a lot if the infected food was in the stores and also if the place where cucumbers come from is still active. 

Barça win the fourth champions

The Barça team last Saturday won the fourth champions League again after beating Manchester in the final in Wembley. 
In my opinion I think that everyday football is more important for people because lately there have been  many games in a row and the people has been watching all the matches. 
Personally, I'm happy that Barça is the best team in the world at the moment because I always I've always followed thsi team and I always will think that it is the best team in the world. 
I think that, this sport affects a lot in the world because when one team wins a match everyone is revolutionized. Also, I believe that football has caused a lot of problems in the world, especially, when Barça plays against Madrid. 
As you know when these two teams play there is a lot of controversy in society because people go crazy when these two teams play together. 


In conclusion I think that Barça is the best team in the world not only because they have won but because it is a humble team. 

Bordertown

ç

Two people who live in the U.S.A want to make a report about Mexic. They want to collect information about battered women's bodies, killed and raped in the desert that is on the outskirts of the city. 
This goes on for several years, but nobody worried until the U.S media began to report on the disappearances. The murders always happened at the same place and in the same way; victims were always working in factories, these are young women who work to help their family. They are always killed when they climb on the bus that takes them and brings them home. Some of these buses were at night when it was dark and dangerous. 


In my opinion, I think that this film makes an impact but it is totally real. In poor countries there are a lot of differences from here. In these countries women are still considered inferior to men. 
Personally this film made me very sad because the girl that is the main character is raped by a man. She has 16 years old and I think that noboody deserves this. 
In conclusion, I hope that the world will improve and the society will valve women equal to men.
