My English competence in 2016

In my opinion, I believe that my best writing are Do men and women view love differently? and Human rightsI 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…

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

Malaysia: Court Victory for Transgender Rights

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

Vocabulary:
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

Vocabulary: 


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.

The woman who defied 300 neo-Nazis

Vocabulary:


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.

The two word games that trick almost everyone

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160504-the-two-word-games-that-trick-almost-everyone
Vocabulary:


This news talk about one experiment that two classics play in the schoolyard that explains the sexism and the power of advertisements. The plays consist in making short questions, for example: what’s seven taking away three? Name a vegetable? Nine to ten people to answer the last question carrot, this vegetable is the first that comes to mind. This fact happens because children have more influences to the school dinners, to the cartons, to Olaf the Snowman and this fact helps us minds to remember as the prime example of a vegetable. This action is the explication to the prototypes that explain our experience of the world. Life would be impossible without prototypes. Advertisement know this and utilize for creating false needs and the citizen buy his product although aren’t necessary. 
In my opinion, this fact affects on the jobs and in all the life of citizens of the world. Many people think that is normal that one woman collect less than a man. This fact is totally unreasonable and we society needs changes. Also, our society needs changes because the advertisements nowadays are very snobbish and in more cases in the advertisement for cleaning products watch women. If these changes exist I’m sure that education and gender violence disappear or are very rare.

The children living with the world's rarest diseases

http://www.bbc.com/news/disability-35640807
Vocabulary:


This news talk about to the children to have rare diseases, so rare that haven’t named or haven’t existed other patient with this disease. The 29 of February three families decided that this day is the day that celebrated the Rare Disease Day. In this news explain three cases the children that have the best rare disease. Also explain the characteristics of the rare diseases. One disease is considerate rare when: when affects fewer one for 2000 persons. Frequency aren’t exist cures to this disease and the 30% for the children with rare disease die before they are five years old. In my opinion the families that have children with rare diseases are very strong psychological health because is difficult to live with your child and look into his eyes and know that these haven’t cure for his disease and continually suffering.

The rising cost of a Chinese bride price

http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-35727057
Vocabulary: 


This news talk about to one Chinese history that is famous in the social networks. In the local station one boy advertised that he would marriage to his pregnant girlfriend. But went the family of the girl, watch that the boy didn’t can pay the expenses of the wedding the father of girl obligate to aborted and finalize the relation with this boy. Recently the Chinese citizen didn’t know if this history is real or not. But this situation is possible because in Chinese culture have more girl that boy and they have more sacrifice for the wedding.  Nowadays, in China have 118 men for every 100 women. 
In my opinion, this news explains the present in more civilizations in the world. Although this story is very sad and very materialist is very common around the world. For example, in India girls pay family or boy, and also didn’t can marriage with boys or girl to the one different lineage. This fact is very incomprehensible because love isn’t demonstrated in money.

Spring is a beautiful station and this station began in March. I love this station, but also have bad things. For example the allergies are very annoying and the mosquitoes also are very annoying. This year really I don’t have allergies and in my opinion this year isn’t a lot of pollen and this fact is very agreeable. Went I live at the moment aren’t mosquitoes. As well as this spring isn’t very hot and also many days it was very cold. Also, many days it rained a lot. I love rain, but only when I stay at home or when can go to the beach to run. But when I go to school, I didn’t like to run.

Do men and women view love differently?

Nowadays all of citizens search perfect love, perfect relationship or we soulmate, but really know the meaning of a perfect relationship? In all of articles in the news and the magazines talk about this. This article affirms that isn’t exits, one prototype or specific characteristics for defining a perfect soulmate or the perfect relationship. This fact happens because men and women view and search different attributes. In more of articles in magazines and more specialists I can view that affirms the fact that women and men loves differently. But I think that the women and men are capable loves, although at the time to express it, there were some differences between woman and men. 

Woman search in one relationship affection, tenderness, cuddles, fell heard, surprises and details. But men search fell valued and successful in all aspects of life, frequent sex and reaffirming their self-esteem. Also, women want to feel valued and appreciated while men want to be useful. It is their way of expressing love and feel loved. In addition, women think expect the men cover all our needs, but no need to share everything and also everyone can enjoy with your friends. As well as men sometimes need to retire quietly to confront their problems, but women need to talk about them. The midpoint is giving him some time to isolate but agree that you will talk later. In addition, when women don’t get everything they want, they tend to give more. Women suffer as they wait, silently and sometimes believe they can guess their thoughts, he realizes and appreciates you. They must learn to set limits and to express they want without thinking that will be rejected.  

In conclusion, I think that although there are many articles were explaining that women and men view love differently, I think that this fact didn’t depend to person and not to sex. All people look different or similar in the relationship, but things don’t have to depend on the genre. Women and men might be looking for different thing, but always have common things. Love is stronger that everything and if this feeling is real stand forever.

Improve children's mental health care, head teachers urge

http://www.bbc.com/news/education-35730625
Vocabulary:

This news talk about to the forms to improve children mental health issues. Nowadays, more children suffer mental health issues. The England government explains that investing £1.4bn on children's mental health services. According to the differences  reports published in the different intuition most schools offers support for this student. But the NCB chief realized one survey and the resultants are alarming because the families with children with mental issues affirms that the support of government aren’t sufficient and they have to pay big sums of money to take their children to private schools. 
In my opinion, this problem the governments have the obligation to help families because all the children should have all the possibilities although suffers mental health issues. With the crisis, the government gives less aid, but more aid and less corruption!

Human rights

The human rights are the fundamental rights that humans have by the fact of being human, and that are not even created nor can be abrogated by any government. Supported by several international treaties these include cultural, economic and political rights, for example, right to life. 
The notion that a human being has a set of inviolable rights began during the era of Renaissance humanism in the early modern period. The European wars of religion and the civil wars of seventeenth-century England belief in human rights became a central concern. The World War I and II led to the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The reason of the Human Rights are created is because the post-war era saw human rights movements are very important interest groups for example, as feminism and the civil rights of African-Americans. 
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. This document has included 30 articles of human rights.
One of the all human rights that exist I choose the fourth, no slavery. This human rights consist No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude and also no one shall be required to perform forced or compulsory labor. This human right is violated in many parts of the world, for example in sexual exploitation. This fact happens in developing countries and developed countries. In Spain, eastern countries, Africa this article on human rights is violated. But is very difficult found one country where this article isn’t violated. Also, this occupation is the most ancient and never have we disappeared, but the countries, for example Sweden and Holland, can make regulations for regularize this occupation, finish this action or penalize the clients. 
The video that I see explain very good and very clear, because in most of cases when someone talks about slavery we think in ancient civilization but this exists nowadays.

How one person can change your life?

These days some people think that love is it isn’t real or in one determinate moment love is finished. But this is true? In the last years the numbers of divorces have increased and why this happens? The more people talk that this happens because the crisis, monotony, love is finished, infidelity and other things. But real love is fantastic and found this in one case is difficult and in others is easy. One person can change our lives, for good or bad but the changes. For example, one person thinks those don’t have marriage and didn’t have children, but falls in love and this partner makes you change life plans. In conclusion live the most of every moment of your life and enjoy.

One perfect week with the special person

Nowadays the society has done some importance to the big and expensive presents. But it is necessary? What is most important and beautiful one expensive present or a homemade dinner? I think that I prefer the second option, although to dirty the kitchen and eat don’t have salt or that although it’s very salty. But I don’t know if the rest of the society thinks the same because I believe that the society becoming more materialistic. If I imagine one perfect week with my boyfriend, I didn’t think in five stars hotels and in places very expensive. I like to stay in one mountain cabana and enjoy of the nature. I didn’t need the expensive presents I also need him.

Peanut allergy theory backed up by new research



The last year one study says that the exposure to peanut products can reduce the 80% by the allergies. One study in the New England Journal of Medicine made one experiment, looked 500 children that probably developing a peanut allergy. In the 11 first months of life eat a sandwich with peanut and after five years didn’t eat peanut and maintain no allergy. In the UK and US combined have 20,000 babies with peanut allergy. In my opinion the allergy in the babes is very common, but the investigations are very important because is very dangerous that a baby eat an aliment that provoke allergy. Also are important the studies that help to reduce the numbers of allergies. Because the children want to eat everything and is very difficult to explain that didn’t can eat and the other boys can.

Orangutan population up but threats remain


In Somalia in the last estimation put the population in 14,600 the twice that in the last study. But the ecologists say, although that this number is big the poaching and loss of forest. Their forest habitat is fast disappearing and the investigators found orangutans in unexpected places, for example in higher altitudes in the mountains. Since 2004 the number of orangutan decline and this fact happens to the deforestation and poaching. The orangutans in Borneo and in Somalia are considerate two different species. 
In my opinion, this animal must be protected because the deforestation and the poaching reduce the number of these animals. And the animals didn’t live only in zoos and for this reason we must fight to preserve their natural habitat.

More, more and more!


These years I can see that the citizens are more and more consumers of different products. Our system economy is based on the consumer and without this the economic system is ending. I can see this in the crisis of the last years because when the housing bubble explodes all the economy worse. But although the crisis the Spanish economy and the continued shopping and buy different things. The economy in all the world is based in buy, buy and buy. Also, all the products are fabricated with one a certain service life because over time you re-buy the same product.

The rising sea temperatures around the Galapagos Islands could threaten the lives of baby sea lions. The journalist writes this news explain that she says in front of the Pacific Ocean and she hears the raucous barking of a sea lion. Also, she describes the baby sea lions and the moment when she snorkeling with them. She explains that in the islands is strictly forbidden. The events of the climatic events of the world affect a phenomenon called the El Nino-Southern Oscillation has push warmer water and this water is poor in nutrients to the Galapagos.

Can the Internet make the world a better place? Discuss


In recent years, there is an increasing number of consumers of the social networks, for example increasing the consumers to Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. But is this fact for the society?
On the one hand, the people that use the social networks have lost the face to face communications. For example friends prefer to talk on Skipe better then to meet them. Also the cyber bullying and crimes against children are big problems. Nowadays, you can see in the news adolescents that commit suicide because they suffer these problems.
On the other hand, the social networks help to find romance, seeking a new job and also getting and going products and service referrals. For example some romantic stories have started in the socials networks.
Consequently, the social networks are the motor for the digitalization and the citizens that do not have networks do not exist, and this fact is hard but is the truth.

Abstract research project

Nowadays, is there a decline of the Catalan language in the media? This is the driving question of this Research Project and it contains two parts: the first part focused on the progress the Catalan language has after the dictatorship until present time. The second part focused on the analysis of the news and the radio sequences. In this part, I have been working very hard because I have searched for the mistakes that the journalists made. The principal objective knows the situation of Catalan language in the media communication.
Finally, once finished my Research Project I can write the conclusions from the graphics that I made after to finalize the practical part. I can conclude that in the media communication the journalists make a lot of mistakes and this fact happens because the automatic translatesand the journalists don’t have a good knowledge of the Catalan language.
