Final Reflection

My english progress

1.1 Compare your first written document and your last composition on your blog.

It is noted I have increased significantly my vocabulary. Before it was too basic and I used to repeat the same words or to use too many wildcard words. I have also improved over the connectors, because before I did not used them (even I forget to use connectors now). It has to take into account that my writing ability has matured over the years; not write the same level a person of 15 years of 18.

1.2 Compare your first oral presentation and your final oral presentation.

People definitely improves with age. Although my oral expression in English is a bit decadent compared to 2 years ago has improved enough. I feel more confident now when i talk express, although there are always times when nerves play a dirty trick on you. My body language is more correct and speak a little more fluid now.

Regarding the structure in my oral presentations, this was quite correct.

I think the content is adapted to the requirements. The grammar was a little limited and still remains, because it has always difficult for me, arguably the hardest thing to me. I have always tried to use the correct vocabulary for each oral presentation and this is right on the issue.

My english competence

My best oral evidence was the oral presentation about Hunger in Africa, because I felt very confident and I found the topic very interesting, so that makes me to prepare more properly the oral presentation and do it with enthusiasm. It is my best oral evidence because my english is pretty fluid in the video and it was prepared correctly. The vocabulary is correct regarding to the issue that we were talking about and the content were adecuated.

My best written evidence was the story about Sakena Yacoobi. Talk about news and do compositions bores me; but Sakena managed to capture my attention with an incredible story. I did not care then to work in this post because it really motivated me what I was doing; for this I can say is my best post because I did with enthusiasm. The vocabulary I used was taken from the video where Sakena spoke, then the fact of hear her and then write about it make the words engraved in my mind. The grammar was quite simple but correct (Or at least I hope so).

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the public education in Spain. I study in a public school and, regarding to the quality of education, this is too basic.

The main problem begin when children have to prepare an exam and the way they choose to do it between all the alternatives of the educative tecnic. In those cases, the students do not find help on the  teaching team because they are not ready to answer. Teachers are prepared only for teaching and it is not their job to help students with heir lacks.

I trust that you will reconsider about what I am annoyed with. I hope you will consider the popular interest in education and you will improve the help that experts can offer to those students who have problems with the actual system of education.

Yours faithfully,

Ariadna Gómez

Letter to Obama

Dear Mr Obama,

We are writing in order to explain you the Syria's situation for you to take measures. This war is going too far and it is time to finish with the violation human rights.

Many people are still feeling form their homes searching places where they could be safe. Unfortunately, developed countries turn back against the when they pray for help in their most desesperate situation. That includes you, Mr. President. We do not only have to fight human rights in our developed countries, but also in developing ones too.

We all know that you have enough resources to save this situation from the massacre. Let's start to worry about our human conditions and less from burocratical problems.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

My say

This summer... 

This summer will be the first to work, so my free time will end . I face to it with some fear because I don't know if I know make the cut in my work and if I'm able to adapt to a strict schedule, to a boss requiring me all the time, to not to miss a single day to work...

Besides that, it's my last summer before the age of 18. This means that it will be the last being minor and, therefore, the last beeing free of responsibilities. But as my friends are older, I can enjoy the best of every age: the autonomy provided to having a drivers license.

I have a feeling that this summer will be one of the best for me because it will be the last before starting a new and exciting stage. I really want to start the summer to see what summer offer to me and share it with my family and my friends.

My say

Pets in Syria

Everyone knows Minimally what is happening in Syria. We care about the children, mothers, grandmothers, fathers... But why no one has thought of dogs? Families abandon them because they can't take them with them. 

So these are totally helpless in the midst of war, without food and drink and no one to protect them and loving them. In Syria the situation is so difficult that people who still resides there eat stray dogs to survive.

Currently there is a web opened which is responsible for raising money to help these animals, which live totally oblivious to what happens around them. You can donate any amount of money to this asociation that is completely a nonprofit organization.

Almost any country is free from corruption in the public sector.

Personal Opinion

Everyone must have the right to health and no one has to take advantage of this most basic need and make it a business. But if there is corruption it's because there are many people who helps to make this possible.
