My English competence in 2016

In my opinion, I believe that my best writing are Do men and women view love differently? and Human rights. I chose these writings because in my opinion are the best of all my writings, because the topic is very interesting and talk about these topics mean maturity. In second of high school, I didn’t write about my pet or my summer if not scarcity to maturity and resources to write about another topic. I am thinking that in two writings I show maturity because the Human Rights isn’t one easy topic and love neither. This wrings have a good structure, vocabulary and content. In Do men and women view love differently? I utilize characteristic vocabulary to love, for example: soulmate, attributes, valued... Also, I utilize technical vocabulary in Human Rights, for example: abrogated, international treaties, inviolable… 

In fact, I love to write about this topic because is beautiful and satisfying can explain yours view to the world. 

In my opinion, I believe that my best oral presentation is Research project. I chose this oral presentation because having the best mark and also I am very happy with my result. The presentation, structure, content and language are good, sincerely the best of all of oral presentation. Although I didn’t have a perfect pronunciation I am very happy, because I get to make a good oral presentation. I prepare a lot this presentation and although I didn’t have eye contact with my classmates this oral presentation is the best of all. In others presentations my classmates aren’t understood a little bit, but in this presentation I have the sensation that they understand. In the video I can see that I didn’t look the paper and didn’t read. Also, I can see my nonexistent eye contact. But this fact happens because I am very nervous. In my opinion is very important spend time to prepare the presentation because obtained a good and learned a lot. Sincerely, I am very proud of my work. 

My English reflection

In this written I compare first and last written in first of high school.

My first written in first of high school is email of the teacher. In this email I wrote an introduction in which I explain where I am from, my personal information. Also, I wrote about my hobbies, that I do in the summer and my future plans. In this writing I remember that I have a lot of mistakes, but as are a task the teacher correct all mistakes. Also, I recall that spend a lot of time to write this email because I have a little fluency and need search in the dictionary a lot of words. 

My last written in second of high school is news. In this news first I read the news, after I do the list of vocabulary. Later I wrote a summary and final the personal opinion. I can say that I write the news I understand the information and also I didn’t need search a lot of words because in the context I can understand very well the content. Also, when I have written the summary and the personal opinion, I have more fluency. This trimester didn’t spend a lot of time to write the compositions and I search in the dictionary specific words. 

Now I compare first and after the oral presentation of high school. 

In my first oral presentation of high school, I talk about the Jewish and Chinese weddings. In this oral presentation I have small mark because I did horrible the oral presentation. I remember that my classmates didn’t understand me. I was unable to learn and pronounce correctly the text. Also, I have a lot of difficulties to prepare the content for the oral presentation and didn’t know pronounce the words. I needed to improve a lot because my pronunciation was terrible. 

In my last oral presentation of high school talk about to my research project. In this oral presentation I explain my research project, firstly the theoretical part and after the practical part. In this presentation have a seven and I am very happy, because I improve a lot. In this oral presentation my problems are the pronunciation and the eye contact because I was very nervous and only look board.

The content, structure, presentation and fluency improve a lot. Even I do mistakes in the oral presentation in particular to pronunciation. I have fewer difficulties to prepare and memorize the content to the presentation. I think that I am stay concentrated in must to say and look the board to concentrate. To prepare this oral presentation I spend time but only like this I can improve my English. Finally, I can say that I see the development in my English. 

Where to live when we are in the university?

Going to university is a great thing in life. When we go to the university all changes because we will go to different villages, different houses and atmosphere. But we have different possibilities to live in the university, for example at home or on a campus, in my opinion the two options are good. 

First of all, living at home has a lot of benefits, for example we have more privacy. But also there are some inconveniences for example, if you dislike living alone. Besides the prices are expensive and all the responsibilities you have to do all. 

Secondly, living on a campus has some advantages, for example, the prices are cheaper and the atmosphere is more cheerful. But it is possible that you will not have intimate and relax. 

In short, you have to enjoy for life in the university, but also you have to study.

Dear Sir Presindent Barack Obama, 

I am writing to complain about the 17th article, the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. 

Nowadays, after the economic crisis a lot of citizens suffer the terrible consequences. The bank foreclosure all the goods, The people live on the street or in the shack, and they have a lot of difficulties. They also have scarcity and include nourtrish and sanitary scarcity. 

This fact happens in the developing and developed countries and we need to solve it. 

These days the nongovernmental organization (NGO) does a lot of campaigns to collect food, clothes and health products. But this is not enough and all the citizens have to help. 

I look forward to your reply
Yours sincerely

Malaysia: Court Victory for Transgender Rights

https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/11/07/malaysia-court-victory-transgender-rights-0

Vocabulary:

• ban
• transgender
• degrading
• rejection  
• upholding 

In November in 2014 a three judge of the Putrajaya Court of Appeal said that one prohibition connected to the law ban on cross-dressing was degrading, oppressive and inhuman. Director of Human Rights affirms that all Malaysians can express themselves as the people they want to be. The case was reported by transgender women of Malaysia and reported the 66 article. The Court of Appeal ruled that article 66 was unconstitutional because this violated the rights to live with dignity.Human Rights Watch does reportage and affirms that in Malaysia exist government abuses. Also the Religion Department humiliate the transgender women. Transgender people in Malaysia are subduing to police persecution and discrimination. This fact obligates the Malaysian government for regulated this law because the transgender person has the same rights that all of the rest of the citizen. 

In my opinion the developed country helps the developing countries in this fact and in more. But also we can understand that the culture is different and the citizens are different religions. Didn’t all the countries adapt to the fast process and to the changes in the sexuality. In general the Muslim cultures are much closer and are hard to accept these things and these big changes. 

Dogs may love us, but they are mean to strangers

http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160128-dogs-share-with-friends-but-shun-strangers

Vocabulary: 

• glad 
• pooch 
• jackdaws
• donors 
• cues 

This piece of news talks about the comportment to dogs. One research published in scientific reports shows that dogs share food to other dogs. This prosocial behavior also is experimenting in primates, rats and jackdaws. The experiment consists in do one group of dogs and put food on a tray and to eat had to stretch rope. The group stretch and shared the food. After coming more some dogs and also realized the same situation, but when share food they were given less food to dogs who weren’t not involved from the beginning. Currently the investigator does one similar experiment with the wolf pack. This investigation explains better the prosocial behavior. 

In my opinion, this investigation is important because we must study the behaviors of animal and even more with those animals live with them. But all this investigation must be done with very careful because of some of the investigations animals suffering. All the investigations and studies, research on animals must respect their space and not interfere in a negative way in their habitat.

Vocabulary:

• thrusting

This piece of news talks about to one photo that has been viral. In this photo appears one woman that is against to the meeting to nationalists in Sweden. This image is heroic because woman shows his courage. This photo is related to the painting Liberty Leading the People (1830) by the artist Eugène Delacroix. The woman that is in the photo are 42 years old and her name is Tess Asplund. When Tess Asplund came face to face with 300 nationalist felt go against to the group's anti-immigration attitudes. Her position remembers to the Black Power salute.

In my opinion, this act is very important in our society because if they aren’t denounced racist and unsociable acts is possible the world returns to ancient era. Nowadays are still many people and racist acts and we didn’t accept this. All the citizens have the same right, although came in the different country. Governments should ban eradicated the manifestations to racists and nationalist groups because this fact does destabilizes the society.
