OPINION ESSAY


WE HAVE ALMOST LEARNT TO RESPECT OUR WORLD?

News keep talking about poverty, hunger, global warming...but nobody seems to have the answer to solve them. I believe that a lot of poeple are too proud about themselves and they only thing with themselves. They don't thing about the world where they are living and they don't know that one day it can be finish before nature itself finishes it, because of us.

In my opinion the politicians should be more responsibles and not only should think about their money because, there are people who die of hunger. Also there are diseases due to pollution and waste because the rich countries spend money on new tecnologies, so they help about destroying the planet and they create extinction, waste, desertifications, deforestation...

I thing the main problem is money because if money didn't exist men wouldn't want it and maybe all of us would respect a little bit more the world because we wouldn't manufacture too many cars, factories...
But the solution isn't having a lot of money because it's impossible, but I know that all of us can do something to improve all these problems. For example: if we take a bus and not a car, we would help to do less contamination and then, we would be able to reduce global warming.

In conclusion as you have seen, I don't agree with the sentence which says that we do concern about the world, on the contrary, we are destroying it.

3rd oral presentation!



This is my opinion about my part on our third oral presentation;

It was a little bit short, I think, because I was nervous and I didn't say everything I wanted. This happened because I wanted to go faster and then I couldn't go back, so I missed some sentences. I think that my expressions and sentences have improved since the other two oral presentations and now it's easier to express myself more fluently. I used some attractive resources like the power point.We used it which had a lot of pictures for people to pay attention and interest on what we are talking about. I made some movements and gestures and I didn't read from my notes, only I looked at them every so often. I had my ideas organized in a chronological order. Besides, I had been looking at the public all the time while I was talking. I introduced some markers and maybe some new information for someone. Everybody, I think, learnt about the result of having AIDS. Robin helped me a lot with the pronunciation (but when I was talking in front of the class I failed three words). I used fillers like "weaker" and also I used sentence likers. Finally, I noticed the sound of my voice wasn't monotonous and I talked in a fluid continuum.

I only hope you had been enjoying our oral presentation.

TRANSLATION : Oxigen by Gossos

I would like to meet myself inside the air,
which you breathe for a moment.
I would like to tread the floor,
firmly and you in my side.

My reflection inside your eyes,
are empty like windows shops
and the silence break us.
I would like to do better
and I bounce
and I can't find you
close.

You have always been waiting
a sign and observing behind the window.

I can't teach you
the colors of the sea in front of you,
you have the door open.

I would like to tell you many things,
but you haven't got a moment for me,
I follow our dreams,
but it's indiferent for you.

So many lies and too many stories,
and seems that you don't know who I am
and the silence broke us
I would like to be better,
and I can't find you
anywhere.

You have always been waiting
a sign and observing behind the window.
I can't teach you,
the colours of the sea in front of you,
you have the door open.

I've remembered the old light house of eight arms,
we didn't sleep,we talked, until see the sun.
Where I can find,
a new path,
following your fool steps.
I want another night,
so then I can tell you all that I feel.

You have always been waiting
a sign and observing behind the window.
I can't teach you,
the colours of the sea in front of you,
you have the door open.
