Oral presentation

I’m going to do a reflection of my Oral presentation.

In my second oral presentation, the resources which I use are powerpoint, sound, images,etc.
In this time, I think that the powerpoint is better than the other because we did not put a lot of text, we only put a lot of differents images, which are very expressive.
Because of that, the resources which I used helps me to realize a good work.
The timing of my oral presentation, it is correct.

I think, that my expression between the class, it is very good, because I did not very nervous, I was looking my audience the major part of the time. Also, I read some time, but it was not true that I read a lot, I read only to start the phrase, and in my opinion I improved my gestures thanks to it was the second time that I did an oral presentation.

The estructure of the text it was excelent in my simple opinion, we organized the ideas in the correct order, the major to minor importance, but also we did not use a lot of linking works to connect the differents points.

As you know, the country which we chose it was Jamaica, and I think that a lot of people know it, but only the simple things, we teached to the class a lot of interesting things as the typical food, the kinds of music of the country, etc as the things more emphasizes.
The information was detailed, in the best form possible, because we did not have enought time, but I think that with the examples the information was very clear.
First, we pretend to do an original work, but as you can imagine, we did not anything of Jamaica, and we had to look information to internet.

In the presentation, I used a good grammar, because I prepared at home the vocabulary, but it is true that sometimes when I did not remember something I could be used an incorrect word.
Moreover, also I used some synonym but not in the most important and repeated word that we pronounced, “island”.

The pronunciation, also it was the most negative thing that I did in my oral presentation, because as you know, it is an aspect difficult to me, and it is usually reflects on my speaking to catalan too.















Literal transcription of my part.



Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles. It is situated in the Caribbean Sea.
Most major towns and cities are located on the coast.
The climate in Jamaica is tropical, with hot and humid weather.
Jamaica lies in the hurricane belt of the Atlantic Ocean; as a result, the island sometimes experiences significant storm damage.



Politic:

The jamaican constitution establish a parliamentary government sistem, as United Kingdom model where the first minister is the boss of the government.



Food and drink:

1. “Merey del diablo”: this fruit came from africa, and it’s one of the most used ingredients to prepare other meal like fish, souffle and other meals.

2. “Empanadillas”: one of the most important meals of jamaican people. They love it taste, also it came to the island with the colonization of the UK.

3. “Café Blue Mountain”: its one of the best coffies in the world, and with limited production it has a high price , the england royal family drinks this coffee.

4. “Rabbit in rum”: The rum is very important drink in the island, this meal needs 2 days to get finished, and its tasty and smells good.

Music:

Jamaica is a famous country in the world thanks to its music which is very famous in the world.
In Jamaica emphasize different kinds of music that are created in the island, like reggae, ska and dub.
Bob marley is one of the most representants of Jamaica, who with his music teached the jamaican culture around the world.
But actually, Sean Paul is the most famous singer of Jamaica, and Paul is recognized around the world.

The beach: There are a lot of beautiful beaches where you can pass your perfect holidays.

The dolphin cove that is a place where you have the opportunity of swim with delfins, for this I recommend you that if you can go there, you don’t think twice.

Finally I thing that the mark that I got it is a 7/10.

Should the experiments on human life have limits?

The question “ should the experiments on human life have limits” is a problem which is reflected in Frankenstein’s book, but it can also be possible in real life. It is a topic that has been existing for some years, when technology started to be used to colonize the world.

If scientists take it slowly and with precaution, they will be about to find the solution for a lot of problems. They will be able to improve life, to fight against a lot of diseases and consequently rise life expectancy. Also, they can discover new human capacities, of which until today we don’t know anything yet.

However, passing the limits of nature, can have a lot of catastrophic consequences, which might not have solutions. For example, a girl who wanted to improve her intelligence, beauty and physical appearence died in the hands of the scientists, a thing that is very different from the “death” of organisms in a laboratory.
Moreover, the religious conflicts play another important role, because in the world there is a high percentage of religous people, who think that Good is the only creator, and nobody else has the right to interfere.

In my opinion, I agree to human experiments, because I think it can be a good way to improve our level of life, and consequentely make us happier.
In relation to the religious conflict, even though I am religious, I believe that to solve a lot of problems and to save lives human experiments are positive.

Dear Ms. Pintó,

I have received the changes of the school calendar from the Department of Education which consist in:

1. starting the next term some days earlier,

2. starting school immediately after “Kings”,

and others changes that are not as important as the others.

I would like to take the opportunity to comment on them.

On the one hand, I agree that the Department has to look for new method to improve the academic level, but I think that the school should have asked, informed the students before taking a decision. I believe that we, as students, have a right to be asked because if not, this can create a conflictive atmosphere.

Moreover, I have to say that, in my experience, the change of calendar isn’t a good decision because every year that we had a change all my classmates and me protested against the decision.

I would be interested to hear other students’ opinions.

Yours sincerely,

Víctor Rosillo
