Observation of my oral presentation
In my oral presentation I used a power point for recourse. On the power point there were some images about the subject. Also I use the support. And presentation lasted more on less 5 minutes.
During the presentation I looked at the people of the class a bit, in particular I look at the teacher. Moreover, sometimes I read notes, but in the last paragraph I read all of it. All through the presentation I use a few gestures.
The grammar of the oral presentation was correct and varied with phrasal verbs and topic-related vocabulary. I used some sentences linkers; with, and, also, moreover, etc. And pause fillers.
My pronunciation was correct, but some words were difficult to pronounce. I think that I could improve the tone of voice.
From my self-evaluation I think I could improve a little in everything, but on the other hand I think that I didn't do too badly. For this reason I think I deserve a 6.

Dialogue

-Hi David, how are you?
+Hi Xavi, I am very well
-Have you got a moment to talk?
+Yes, tell me
-Mmm, I’ll tell you, the other day when I went shopping in Figueres I saw your girlfriend with her previous boyfriend.
+It can’t be true. She told me that afternoon she was with her girlfriends.
-Moreover it’s not the first time that I have seen them together since they quit.
+It’s impossible; they haven’t spoken to each other since they argued.
-Ok. I’m only telling you what I saw.

Obesity is spreading into developing countries. Nutrition experts warn of a global epidemic of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Although a diet of fatty fast foods may account for obesity in some countries, a major cause is that many manufacturers now add more sugar to foods "to make them taste better." Additionally, Asian and African diets include more edible oils, with the consequent extra calories.
People use technology at work and save a lot of physical work. People want to work less and have more free time.
Since obesity is rising rapidly among schoolchildren too, especially in areas where recreation and physical activity have been reduced, there is an urgent need for teachers to be aware of the relationship between nutrition and academic performance
We should'nt go to that extreme, we must maintain a good physique.

Fashion
Nowadays fashion changes continually. In Spain girls follow the fashion more than boys. Perhaps girls buy more clothes than boys but they are cheaper and boys buy more brand makes. Girls prefer to have a lot of clothes so that they can wear different clothes every day. You can see this especially in people of my age, 17-18.
Here clothes are quite expensive especially in the little shops but now there are a lot of chain stores for example Inditext. Where you can buy cheaper clothes and a lot of variety. Boys like spending a lot of money on trainers, and perhaps they buy three or four pairs a year.
Nowadays in spite of the fashion a lot of people prefer to follow their own style, for example the style of clothes depends on the music they like.
I also think that the world of clothes is the least affected by the crisis.
The Royal Family


The Princes and grandchildren of the King and Queen will receive approximately € 70,000 net each for the heritage that the employer Minorca Juan Ignacio Balada Llabrés who died on November 18, 2010, has left them.
Half of the estate is to create a foundation of national interest and chaired by the chief and will have a foundational heritage of nearly four million euros.
The rest is divided between the Princes and the eight grandchildren of the King and Queen. They have had to pay the Inheritance Tax to the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands (estimated at a total of 3.3 million euros.
In my opinion I think that Juan Ignacio Balada Llabrés should have invested everything  for the poor, but the royal family does not need to leave legacies.

Human Rights


1. What are human rights?
Human rights are rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled. They can exist as shared norms of actual human moralities or as legal rights.

2. When did human rights start?
The human rights movement emerged on the 10th December 1918 from former socialists in Eastern and Western Europe, with contributions from the USA and Latin America.

3. Why were they created?
To protect people and to give them the some rights and freedoms no mattesir ther religions or race.

4. How many haven rights are there?
There are 30 articles based on human rights. All of them are about different subjects but they are related in some way.

5. Which human rights were you not familiar with?
I am not familiar with copyright, because I think that the information is free and equal for everybody.

6. Chose one human right and discuss?
Don’t discriminate. I chose this human right because in my country I think there is still some discrimination although it has improved a lot, for example when people are applying for a job, depending on the person they can get the job or not. I think that in the past no country respected discrimination, I believe that discrimination is not respected in under developed countries, for example South American countries.

7. Are human rights relevant in the world today?
Yes they are. But there are some human rights that are not respected in some countries, for example in Abu Dhabi they don’t respected the rights of the workers. Everything is controlled by the government and people are not allowed to express their opinions. There are also a lot of differences between men and women in many countries, for example women who do the same job as a man is often paid less money.
