My 3rd oral presentation

Own observation:

As you know, it was my last presentation of the year, and I think that I improve a lot with the resources that I used. I used a powerpoint with the essential information, with a lot of pictures.
The powerpoint helps me to support my presentation, with the correct time.

It is true that I was very nervous, but I think that I was looking the audience the most of the time possible. Occasionally I read my notes, but only when I wanted know some small details.

The structure of my presentation it was the correct, and there were in order like the content, which I think that it was the correct and also someone learnt something.But talking about the language you are absolutelly right when you told me that my vocabulary sometimes it wasn't correct and that I 've said a lot of incorrect words, but I have to say, that my vocabulary are right and varied as well.

If you ask me, what it is my weak spot, I answer that my weak pot it was the pronunciation, as you know it is the aspect of the most difficult for me, think which you can prove when I talk in others language like Catalan.

To conclude, I write down the transcription of my presentation.

Waste

Hello I’m Víctor Rosillo, and today I’m going to talk about waste, one of the forms of contamination of the world.

Waste is unwanted or inusable materials. Also we refer to to as rubbísh or trash.

Waste is directly linked to human development, both technologically and socially because thirty years ago the society didn’t produce as much waste as today. Per capita waste generation in developed countries has increased by 35% since 1980.
For this same reason it is directly linked to the zone where we live and the awarness of the governements. For example, as you know the kind and amount of waste that Africa could be produce in one year is completely different to the waste of Europe Occidental.


Waste is sometimes a subjective concept, because sometimes somepeople throw away what other people find usefull.
Usually, the rich people throw away thnigs that are in good state and the poor people take it.
For example:In the restaurants at the end of the day, the workers, obliged by their boss, have to throw the food away and when I was working last summer in a supermarket Montserrat, I also had to throw away the food of the bakery.
In my personal experience, recently in Ampuriabrava I have seen people in dirty clothes looking into the waste cointainers reusing things that we throw away.

There are many waste types:
municipal solid waste (MSW)
construction waste and demolition waste (C&D)
institutional waste, commercial waste, and industrial waste (IC&I)
medical waste (also known as clinical waste)
radioactive waste, and electronic waste
biodegradable waste

The waste produces three differents costs: environmental, social and economical costs.

Environmental costs
Waste can contaminate water, soil and air wich causes a lot of problems for humans, animals and the ecosistem.
Waste can attract insects which can cause diseases.
Social costs
Waste managements is a significant environmental topic because the need for waste treatment and disposal facilities is increasing in all of the world.

But the problem is, that where the governements want to build a disposal factory people organize a lot of demostrations. Because of that exists few solutions.
Economic costs
The economic costs of managing waste are high and often are paid by governements. As always we, the citizens have to pay taxes but we don’t do anything to avoid it.
One way to avoid it, is to start educating children at school.
Another way is that we in our houses imply the three Rs:

Reduce, re-use and recycle.

Reduce in my opinion is the easiest work, because the only thing that we have to do is try to not use more products, things that we need.
Re-use: Sometimes the simple fact of use 2 times a paper helps to re-use.
Recycle: I think that it is the most difficult work to do, but anyway it is easy. One form to recycle in house is to divide your bins into the four categories of: paper, glass, plastic and organic material.

After talking about all this I want to compare the two Spains. The Spain of today, and the Spain of our sons.
Today we can drink all the water that we want,but maybe our children won’t be able to drink more than 2 glasses of fresh water a day because of the contamination.
Now, we can walk along the beach, the street in a normal situation but perhaps some years later they will have to use specials suits and masks.
These example are extreme, but if we don’t use the solutions which I said before, it could happen one day.
