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.

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.

Summary of HANCOCK

Hello! The other day I watched a film and I would like to tell you its summary, so let's go...

The main actor is Will Smith and in the film he plays the part of Hancock. Hancock is a tramp who lives in the streets and all the time he is drinking alcohol. Eventhough he helps people and saves lives. Los Angeles's people are angry with him until Hancock saves a man from the train and this man helps him to be accepted by the city's people. While the man was plotting something, they became friends.

One day Ray Embrey, the man, invites Hanconk to go to his house and meet his family. When the man's wife looks at Hancock, she gets surprised but nothing happens. Later, the man tells the tramp that he should let the police catch him. Hancock doesn't agree with him but in the end he takes notice about of what he said. The tramp finishes in prision and there, he is insulted by the other prisoners and he puts the head of one of his cell mattes into the bottom of another. At the end of the month, the police calls him to ask if he could help them and Hancock agrees. The tramp saves the city from blowing up because a terrorist puts dinamite on the bodies of his victims. Hancock saves everyone by cutting one of the terrorist's hand, where the terrorist had the remote control. As the film goes on we discover that the hero and the man's wife had met each other thousands of years ago because they're immortal and they never get old. Also we know that they had been married and the wife left him because he had an accident and forgot everything. At the end of the film, Hancock gets shot by one of the two men to whom he (Hancock) introduced his head into the other's ass. Little by little, both, the hero and his old wife, die because no matter what happens to him it also happens to her. Finally, the hero, with the little strength that he had left, flies far away. If they are separated, both can be alive but if they are together, both lose their powers and get mortal.

This film was good and it was entertained.
