FINAL REFLECTION

To begin, I want to say that I'm very proud of all the work I've done. When I see my blog space I think that I have improved a lot. For example, in my oral presentations I believe that the first presentation I read a lot and the oral presentation of 2on term I wasn't nervous and my pronuntation has improved a lot.

The activity that best shows my level, are the writings because I have learnt a lot of vocabulary and each time it becomes easier to write and faster. Also, the activity that has helped me improve my level of English is the oral presentation because I was able to work better my pronuntation, this is the most difficult aspect for me and the oral presentation has also helped me to speak English in public, for me this is difficult because I'm shy.

For me the activity that I didn't find useful for me level have been the listenings because quite often I didn't understand what they were talking about and then I couldn't follow the conversation very well.
The other activity that didn't help me to improve is when we were in the language classroom because I couldn't concentrate enough.

The activity that I liked a lot was when all the class played games because it was very entrataining and we also learnt a lot.

In conclusion I hope that I will improve my level of English a lot and really I also think that I've worked hard this year and this will help in my future.

NEW HUMAN RIGHTS

Dominican Republic: double abuse against women with AIDS

In the Dominican Republic women are subjected to tests of AIDS every day and if these are positive they are dismissed and discriminated.
Therefore a lot of women suffer from double discrimination, first, for being women and segond, because are people with AIDS.


In my opinion I don't understand how there may be countries which discriminate this way to women and only for having a disease. It would be just the opposite, they would help a lot to people who have AIDS. The inequality of persons still in Dominican Republic and the women are very discriminated.
Women with AIDS are not treated as people, they are treated worse than animals.

In conclusion, I hope that things will change because I don't like to see these injustices in the world, although I know that the world is full of injustices.

Human rights questions

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being. Human rights are thus conceived as universal and egalitarian.

2. Why were they created?

Human rights were created because, this way, people respect and there is not violence. Mainly created to delete the esclavision and people with more power not abusing them and everybody equally.

3. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

There are many human right that are not respected like public health. Therefore, are not respected human rights in countries where public health is not provided like Spain and I disagree totally with this because health is very important for all kind of people. I also believe that would be equality of persons.

Dear Ms. Motoc,

The reason why I am writing this letter is to express my worry about women abuse, and to hige you to work to solve this problem.

I think that we should look for a solution because mistreatment has been on for too long. In my opinion we should be more help to these women because nowadays there are women that are frightened. For this reason I think that we should help this hem and the main objective is to improve education because, this way, mentality of some people will change.

Finally I believe that if we don't try to change this problem will continue to grow.

Yours sincerely,

Ariadna.

November

"November" is a spanish film the main character is called Alfredo and this wants to create a different art. A free art, so that people will be able to love with them the show. Alfredo said that authentic theatre is in the street. Alfredo and his group, November,  begin to have thoughts to do it in the street. In this show there aren't limits, they only have to be sure that the audience will become part of the show.

In my opinion, I think that this film is very good. The worst think in life is to go to work and less if something that you don't like but it is an obligation if you want to eat every day. So, in this film, November, I'm surprised that people like Alfredo and his group work because they love art, they don't want to change. Moreover for this reason, they don't obey the laws.
I think that this film is a reflection of wanting to change the world like many people do.

I believe that although you don't like theatre and art you will like this film because it's entertaining and the end of the film is very surprising because you don't expect it.

Packets of tobacco in the USA don't have pictures of the consequences of smoking

"A Washington judg has rejected the order requiring tobacco companies to put harsh images on packets of cigarrettes about the dangerous of smoking. The judge considers that this is a lack of freedom of expression."

When was passed the anti-tobacco law they began doing these kinds of cigarette packets.
In my opinion, on one hand, I agree with this because this way if you buy tobacco and you see these photos a some time this could provocate an emotional response and this is what they want the photos to do.

On the other hand, I disagree about this case because doing this cause that people may not have freedom of expression and if they want to smoke they won't change. Also I disagree because I think that these photos are very sad.

In conclusion, I believe that if you want to stop smoking you must do it yourself and eventhough society can influence, people do what they want.

Is love at first sight real?

Love is a universal and relative concept because everyboody has different thoughts about love.
There are a lot of people who think that loved at first sight doesn't exist because they believe that it's imposible.

On a contrary, there are people who believe in love at first sight sometimes and these people are very romantic and they believe that love is always posible.

In my opinion, I think that loved at first sight is posible because if you meet a person and you feel very attracted to them I think that you can fall in love. But sometimes when you meet a person at the beginning you can feel a good feeling but then you don't like them.
Really it's the same with friends if you met a person and from the beginning you don't like his character you don't want to be with this person.

In conclusion, I believe that love is very relative and people think differently about this concept.

A "ciberacosador" is judged to 359 years in prison

Jorge Miranda is twenty-nine years old and seven years ago he began to harass 250 children over the network. The police said that he threatened to kill the girls they did not record nude and send their videos.

In my opinion, nowadays I think that it is very dangerous because there are a lot of social networks and these can be dangerous.
However science has come a long way in this aspect but also this may affect society.
Really, I believe that parents should pay more attention to their children like for example they should not let a child of ten years have a facebook or not to let him go into much to social reds because I think that children from 13 up to 17 years aren't able to think as on older person and can be deceived very easily.
With reference to this new I think that this man deserves to be in prison because he is very sick.

In conclusion, people should to be more careful with the internet in general.

Are we crazy if you go to the psychologist?

Psichology is a science that studies human behaviour and mental processes. Although psychology is a relative concept so there is no exact definition.

Nowadays people go to a psychologyst because there are people who think that the psychologist is the solution your problems but I believe that the psychologist helps you watch you problem but if you do not see your problem the psychologyst can't help.
There are other people who think that only feels go to the psychologist I think that they are the type of people who are not right because people who go to the psychologist need another person to help them and they also are pessimistic so, they want a better life.

In my opinion, I think that it depends if people think it is more beneficial for them or not to go to the psychologist I believe that some people need to talk about their problems with an unknow persons because in this way they can express themselves better.
I believe that you have to go to the psycholog if you have a big problem or if you are a person who needs to talk to someone.

To abandon an animal

To begin, I think that animals have feelings and although they don't speak. Animals need some person or family that to look after them because they are similars to people.

I believe that if you have an animal you must have capacity to look after it. Also you must think a lot about it because it's a responsability although they don't object.
So, I don't understand when people abandon an animal. I think that if you can't look after an animal you have a lot of options like to give a friend or some person that as far as you know is a good and responsable person.

Finally, I believe that something must be done about it because it is more common every day. Therefore if everyboody looked after animals more and everyboody thinks about it before they have an animal, there wouldn't be so many animals abandoned.
In conclusion, I think that animals should be breated like people because they also have feelings.

Whitney Houston dies

The last 12 of February Whitney Houston  died at night in Los Ángeles. They said that they found her in the room and she was dead but there were no signs of violence.

In my opinion, I believe that she died from drugs because she had been taking drugs for some time. Nowadays this case is more common and this should change because in this way people would be happier and probably there wouldn't be so many problems.
Normally, famous people have a lot of problems of drugs, I think that when they become famous and they start to have a lot of money they have a lot but they need more. For this reason, only for drugs and parties.
I think that it's a shame because she was very young and she could have a great life as an artist.

A few months ago also died Amy Winehouse, this girl was younger and she also died of drugs. In my opinion, I think that this should change. Moreover, drugs make you grow old and, especially, they destroy your life.

How do new tecnhologies affect young people?

Nowadays there are a lot of new tecnhologies that can affect people, especially, young people. Many years ago young people played in the street or went out with their friends to have a good time. On the contrary nowadays we have a lot of things to entertain ourselves like computer, play-station, mobile phones, television...

These new technologies I believe affect young people a lot because they have more free time and this is causing harm in society.
Internet is the technology that affects more people but now the majority of mobile phones have Internet and you can speak with to friends. Without paying therefore the phone comparies losing money because people don't send messages and they don't call.

In my opinion, I think that the parents will have to watch their children because they waste a lot of time with this. Moreover, nowadays Internet is very dangerous because there are a lot of crazy pepole that cheat.

Is the research project important?

To begin, this project is very important because maybe makes you get a higher mark. This project is only done in Catalonia and I believe that it would be better to do it all over Spain, because I think that it is an important project.
It's better to choose an interesting subject for your projet because it's very long and, in this way, it's more entertaining.
When you have chosen the subject you want, you begin with an introduction of it. However the most difficult is to begin this project because this means a lot of work, so you must work hard and make an effort.

In my opinion, I think that doing this work you learnt a lot about the subject and you will have this knowledge all your life.
The advantatge of this project is that if you do the project well so you get a higher mark. But if you don't well it's a problem because if is like subject and you may have to repite the course.

In conclusion, I believe that this project is good because you learn a lot about a subject. Although I think that should everyboody do it and not only people of Catalonia.

Should we wear school uniforms?

Nowadays there are a lot of countries where it's compulsory to wear school unifor specially England.
In the past it was compulsory for people wear a unifor, but nowadays in the public schools they wear a uniform and in the state schools they don't.

The advantatges of a school uniform is that there is less discrimination and everyboody is the same because everybody wear the same uniform.
Another advantatge specially for girls is that if you wear a uniform you don't have to think about clothes and in this way you don't waste time.

The disadvantatge is that you are like everybody else and, therefore, you don't express your personality.

In my opinion, I think that it's good wear a uniform because people don't discrimination and normally they have a similar thinking on the contrary, I believe that these people don't hve a personality because nobody stands out from others.

The first writing

My name is Ariadna Fernández and I'm eighteen years old I'm going to talk about my dreams and my hopes in the future.
I have a lot of dreams but the most important dream is to have a good job that I like and to get a good salary.
To begin, short-term my goals I would like to finish 2nd Bachillerat because I think that it is a very important thing. I also think it's very difficult but if I organize my work I will be able to pass. I don't won't to lose another year.
Next year I would like to go to university and I will be able to study what I like, to be a primary teacher.
It's one think that I have always liked because I like children a lot. If I can't study these studies I would also like to do some thing in relation to economy.

Finally, I hope that I will be able to get everyhings that I want and the other dream is to travel around the world because I think that it is very full filling because you learn a lot of things about other cultures.

Podcast

Does humor play an important role in life?

One of the most important things that there is in life is humour, because when the people are happy all the things become better.

On the one hand, I agree with the TV programs about humour because these do that you feel well for a time. Moreover these programs can help you forget your problems for one time. I believe that these programs are entertaining too.
On the other hand, I disagree with the types of humour. For example, sometimes there are some types of humour that do you don't understand alghough there are some people who think that it's funny maybe the other don't.

In conclusion, I think that humour really is very necessary for everyboody.

The oral presentation

In our oral presentation I think that we could have been better, but I was very nervous and the first oral presentation of the year is always the worse. 
I believe that I could have studied more, but I had a lot of exams and homework. 


In my opinion I really think that the structure and organization of the oral presentation was better, because we organized the way that everybody could understand better. Also, we didn't speak first five minutes one and then five minutes the other, because this way the presentation wasn't borning. We put a lot of photos in our power point so the oral presentation was entertaing. 
The pronunciation was the most difficult for me so I practiced a lot in my house, for example, some words difficult to pronounts like surgery, health, vegetable, whim... 
I think that I read a lot because I was very nervous. 


In conclusion I think that I must improve a lot in the other orals presentation and I should not get be nervous. 

Oral presentation

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.
