Formal dialogue

Too much importance is given to exams at school. Do you agree?

I agree with this topic.

The exams are important but not all the tests. Every day people say that to have a good future with a good job you have to have good mark and more study. But there are not people who had good grades and now has the best works.

And then, people who can not study, which has no economic resources, does it? Not deserve a good future?

I believe that testing is important, but not so much as make believe.

One people has had a good future or work not with good marks in school.

Opinion essay (on the respect to our world)

WE HAVE ALMOST LEARNT TO RESPECT OUR WORLD. DO YOU AGREE?

I disagree because the world is nice, but people are not aware of respectability.

environment, extinction, water shortages, many deaths in third world l, oil, wears, this is what hurts every day to the world, and nobody does anything to stop it.

however, if people propose contaminate a few months, not spend so much water, recycle, etc.. none of this does not happen. But people complain about pollution and gives them blame the government, but do not realize that the main culprits are they?

When they realize the damage they have done to the world and want to fix it will be too late.

¿That you think?

ANTIBIOTICS

Alexander Fleming

In September, 1906, Alexander Fleming discober the antibiotics by accident.

An antibiotic is a drug used to treat a bacterial infection.

The discovery of antibiotics revolutionized health and has come to say is that the breakthrough in health since the adoption of disinfection

the first antibiotic is penicilina and anothers antibiotics are:

• Aminoglucósidos

• Beta-lactámicos
• Penicilinas
• Fenicoles
• Glicopéptidos
  
• Lincosamidas
• Macrólidos
• Oxazolidinonas
• Polimixinas
• Quinolonas
• Tetraciclinas

In some cases, antibiotics are unnecessarily prescribed by the doctors themselves, sometimes by pressure from the patient and sometimes even without the patient's request.

psychological disorder

Today Àngels and I, have made a presentation of psychological disorders.

Is a very 'difficult' topyc to explain.

We talked about the Depression, the Esquisofrenia and psychological disorders.

the psychological disorders are: Anorexia and Bulimia.

http://www.acab.org/cat/anorexia/anor.htm

Anorexia is a common symptom in many diseases and physiological situations consisting of decreased appetite, which can lead to a decrease in food intake.

Bulimia is a mental disorder related to food.

3rd Oral presentation: traffic accidents

Àngels and I today we want to talk about the traffic accidents, a topic that is a very hard problem in our society.

With this oral presentation we try that you think about all the things that are around of the victims of the traffic accidents, because always everybody think "this won’t pass to me" but sometimes this is not true.

Intorduction:

Traffic accidents are a very important problem for our comunity.

Every day dead a lot of people in the hightway for diferents causes. For example : bad and crazy drivers, badly state of the highway, the alcohol and drugs, and another things.

There are more traffic accidents the holidays and in the weekend, because the people take mor the car.

The young drivers:

In 2007 died 1,593 young people between 18 and 29 years, most of the time on weekends, and said that more than half of menors 25 years have ever suffered a traffic accident.

It is said that with increasing age of drivers, reduce traffic accidents.

They say that the causes of all this is the alcohol and drugs, why the authorities are trying to increase the figure of an alternative driver for the weekend.

Motorcycles:

In 2007 died 490 motorcyclists on the roads in Spain and 7,000 were wounded.

The main risk factor is alcohol, and after the fatigue.

The body parts that are most affected are the legs, head, arms and the face.

The why of this accidents:

Alcohol

Drugs

Velocity

Distraction

Meteorology

Stress

Dream

Methods of reduction of the treffic accidents:

penalty points

radar system

Camouflaged cars

Vial education

The end

And this is the end if you don’t follow the norms.

Observation:

for me the second oral is better respect for others.
The first was good because they speak on a topic that interests you or about you. The second was fun, the beams in pairs and these are no longer so nervous. And third, you have to talk about a "problem" of satiety and is more difficult.

My TdR

This year it corresponds to us to choose the TdR and of the proposals that gave us any subject did not like me but as we have the possibility to propose a subject I have chosen: The Bernat Jaume of Figueres.

I will work about the functioningthe center, the illness, the protocols,....

I expect that it is a good work and that it likes.

I have chosen this subject about "health" because I would like to be able to work in some center like Bernat Jaume.

Catalonia today

In a newspaper says that in recent years there is a lot of school failure and it is due to lack of motivation of the students.

And I think, lack of motivation?
Would have to be themselves who say, I will study and get "targets".

Also said that many of the teenagers who no longer consider just working with the parents, not things that interest them and that at the end of a few teenagers arepientes not have continued to explore.

second oral

The second oral presentation accompanied by the Angels and I talked about Las Vegas.

We made a small introduction to Las Vegas, then explain a little about the history, also explained and said the most luxurious hotels in Las Vegas and finally talk about the shows and TV programs that are on Las Vegas.

I think it was interesting because you just never know what is and is a state or country ...

first oral

In my first oral presentation explaining my self.

Things about myself, my family, my friends, my hobbis, music that I like, my holiday and the brother who was going to take.

I think it could have worked more on my presentcion, but also I think it was more or less fine.



You think that?

One day, Julia had to rest working at the library till late at night, while she was putting books in order she noticed someone touching at her back, she scared a lot, but when she turned on her back she saw her brother.

Julia noticed that her brother was very altered, so she decided to tell him a scary tale, because Melvin loved scary tales, Julia had always changed a bit the stories to make she and her brother the protagonists of the story.

- Once upon a time there were two brothers that they love each other a lot, but for life questions they only have one to another. One day they started to play in a library, hiding and searching each other. While they were playing, the little brother disappears...

When Melvin saw Marc he start screaming, and trying to apart his sister from Marc.

Julia’s boyfriend start to scream, and Julia when she saw that this wasn’t normal took her brother and start to run. She closed in the library’s clearance and tried to call the police, but there wasn’t signal. Marc was trying desperately go into the room. Finally he went into the room and shout:

- Julia! Run !


But it was too late, Julia was leaning on the floor with a knife stabbed on his back and Melvin standing next to her.
