EMAIL TO TEACHER

Hi Lourdes!

How are you? I'm Miquel Duñach of second batxillerat and the other day approximately one week in the english class we saw a Barack Obama's video relacionated with the school motivation.

I think that each person has their objectives and also the way to do possible these objectives. We are studients and we have different objectives that we would like to make real. Firstly need a motivation, concretely a school motivation becasue in the future we will arrive very far.

My objective is to finish batxillerat and start a new stage, the stage university and meet new people, do things that I really like. All these things need hard work rare and get a motivation, because the things don't come alone, anyone give something for you and finally you think that try to fight the time passes. It isn'tdifficult to get motivated,the difficult is to find when we see examples, they help us to believe

Barack Obama is currently president of United States, anyway has little time to leave charge. But I'm sure that he  had his own reasons  to arrive where currently is, because he has been one of the few people from Africa ruling the richest.

Finally I find a sentence of Obama that say "You have to let your failures teach you" and it's really true because if we knew failures we would know triumphs. And we are living very hard time for different reasons  for example the job is low, a lot of people only think money money and money and without motivations maybe will be very dificult to reach our objectives.

FINAL REFLECTION

Comparing my english level of this year relacionated with my level of last year I think that I have a small improvement.For example thanks to a english bloc, my english vocabulary is more extensive than in the past years, and also when we do some reading I can understand better than before.

Firstly my best show level of english is the reading and writing because before I' said the task of your-says, news... is really useful because when you have do any news or another thing, if you don't know some word you can find on the dicctionary or word reference and everyword that you find normally remember for ever and after when I read or write something can understand much better.

Otherwise the activites which are really usefull are exams, homewrok, and oral presentations because you develop many vocabulary, or learn differents ways of experession or also help you to speak with a language more sophisticated.

Secondly the activities that I' dont find useful to leaarn english, for example is podcasts because the pronunciation I know that is very important but the person who is recording with a program could be reading a description or study only it and after give a nice pronunciation but so before have been preparated and when you have a conversation with foreginer you can't preparate, you need a spontanious conversation and is here where we can see if this person have a good pronunciation.

Finally in my opinion, the activity that I' would like to do again next year, repeat another time is a blog because could be bored think about what new or your-say can do? but when write sentences you find a new expressions, or new vocabulary and also the blog can help you to pass the subject.

SELF-EVALUATION: Oral presentation about: unequal distribution of wealth in the world

This is the last term and me and Yassin we have done other oral presentation relacionated with global issues about Unequal distribution of wealth in the wrold . We decided talk about this theme because is a factor that also afect generally everyperson of the world can affect more or less but someway we affect.

In general this term I' think that have iproved more respect another terms.

First of all I start talking about the prezi, the concret presentation this prezi also I think that have been more work than another prezis from first and second term, otherwise the image of prezi this time have been a different image more adult and more ordenated.

 Haven't been the typical prezi only images and many colours and nothing more, no this prezi have somecolour and have many images but also have a different structure and how I said before more ordened.

Now I' can talk about body language, the pronunciation, the personal script in general. Every student who have do a oral presentation in fornt of the class is nervious but we have think that is only a oral presentation. And I'think that my script was in my heat but with nerves I couldn't remember my things and sometimes have saw the paper and this in the same moment I didn't pronunce very well  it's true that maybe somewords I' invented because I'didn't want see the paper constantly.


Finally my evaluation is this:

Creativity: 0,5

Structure: 1

Content: 3

Language: 0,8

Body anguage: 1

Pronunciation: 0,5

Final mark: 6,8

FILM REVIEW- THE MARTIAN

I  went more times in the cinema but the last times when I went to see a film The Martian was spectacular film. I went to the cinemawith my friends because we celebrated a birthday of our friend and he decides see these film.

The Martian is a nice film and is very worked because have a special effects fantastics. The principal protagonist of the film is Matt Damon and the script his name is Mark Watney. He goes to The Mart with his work friends with the Ares III tripulation ship because have a concret mision.

But while the are in these different planet the weather is complicate and generate a dust storm and this disaster are obligated access to the ship and cover of this meterelogical desaster. But Mark Watney is hit with a antenna and friends think who is dead and they return to the planet earth. 

After Mark Watney isn't dead but stay unconscious, he recuperates of hit and see is only human in the planet. He starts a new live and with his scientifics knowledge, and also he is botanical engineer can survives and plant potatoes with excrements of his firends and he produces water because calculates that he has a food to only 309 days and need give a missage to special base of planet earth because the tripulants come to find he.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinon recommend these film because is very well done and the story is really spectacular see how a human person can survive another planet without anyperson more and see what does he doing for eat and for prduce water and the special effects, and also the music or the graphic spaces are really wonderful.

NEWS 3- New elections in Spain

Last year few days before we shoud start a new year, concretlly in December twenty in Spain did  elections for choose a new president of the country. For votes the won el partido popular d'España or also is known for initials "PP".

After of PP , came PSOE;Partido, socialista, obrero, español, that politic team theoretically is a socialist team and has a lefist ideology. Contrary with pp because has a right-wing ideology. Two others teams more was latest of PSOE and PP that were Podemos and Ciudadandos.

The most votated in Spain was PP but not for majority differents political teams had pact between them with the finality built a new governement for the country. PP and PSOE logically have a differents ideas and we didn't see a new pact but we could see future pact with PSOE and Podemos. The socialist team didn't want pact with Podemos because they are agree with a referendum in Catalonia.

Finally anyteam has been agree with other political team and the next June twenty-six will turn ver new elections for Spain, and a lot of people wait that some team will agree to do a new governement.

Personal opinion:

In my opinion I think that in Spain there isn't a really democracy because they don't want who Catalonia decide for our future, doing a referendum,how for example UK  permited a referendum of Scotland because only in the really democracy countries happend this things and Spain is demostring that isn't a democracy country.

NEWS 2- Labor reform in France

Last days in France is happening terrible things because the governement want do a new labor reform in the European country. Twenty years late return a agresive and desesperate France for the new laboral project.

Since 1995 in France didn't see a powerboats without combustible or refineries blocked and also hundred of thousands protesters for a new labor reform in France. In 1995 the demonstrations was the same of now because the governement origined a new security social reform. And majority of french people didn't agree with they.

Currently the president of France he's Hollande have aproved a new labor reform and that reform wasn't in the electoral programme. A lot of people are very angry with he and only 15% of habitans are agree with Hollande.

In the demonstration there are a lot of people dividided in many different classes. Pivieged are a majority people who have better live conditions than other people, after estudiants who also protesting for that reform because will afect in the future,after indignates is another classe and finally thugs only fight with the police and they destroy many diferents public services.


Personal opinion:

In my opinion I agree that the french people organitze a demonstrations because the governement only can or is a method cause listen the habitants of the country. We don't forget that French is a republic house and ever procur the habitant conditions, and also doing a sabotage is a method because the governement change quickly to a best future for the country.
