How to prepare an exam:

An exam is a test of knowledge which puts to the tests what you have learnt about a certain topic.
I am talking about this because we are at the end of the course, and soon the period of exams is starting.
Because of that I’m going to explain how I prepare my exams:

First of all, some days before the exam I read the material again that I have done in class to know what I will have to study.
Later, if I have enough time I try to do a summary or scheme to emphasize the most important things.
Once I have finished that I start to study until I memorize the material.

But if I don’t have enough time, I try to memorize only the most important things because if I can’t learn all of the content, at least it’s good to know the basic things.

And if the exams are of numbers I try to prepare the test doing excersises that I have done in class because I already have the corrections.

Fashion victims...

Fashion victims are people who always follow the latest tendencies and fashion.
As soon as fashion changes they have to spend a lot of money on clothes, hairstyles, accessories etc.
They copy the famous and glamorous people from TV and magazines and they try to do or look the same as them.
In my opinión it is not a negative concept but until a certain limit. For example I believe it is good that they want to “improve” their image but I think it is very sad if the people change their personality or spend a lot of money for this purpose because they could lose their own identity.

Personally I think that I am not a fashion victim because I am not all day thinking about these kind of things, buying clothes, etc.
Looking at my style of clothes and hair I consider myself pretty normal and not like one of the dressmen of the magazines.
Perhaps the people who do these things are the people who are not happy with themselves, and because of that they want to be like someone famous.

Sufre Mamon!

Sufre Mamon is a song of David Summers, the singer of Hombres G. The autor of the song has to succed a lot of years ago, when I was not born, in the 70's. In those days he composed a special song, Sufre Mamon, which caused a revolution for a lot of young people because he was one of the singers who has start singed rock spanish. The succesfull of the song cause that the productors have done a film.

As you can imagine, the topic of the song and film, talks about a couple who breack off his relationship, when the girl go out with another boy, then David Summers the main caracter try to regain his girl, and decides to compose a song.
The songs critizies the new "boyfriend of his love" and use words like powder's pica pica as in the fils put in boy's jacket when he is singer.

In conclusion the film is one of my favourites because when I listen the song I get goosebumps and I feel a special sensation. Moreover, it is the first sing that I listen In my first party, and aslo because of that has converted in my prefer.

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.

My summer job :(

The summer is coming closer,six weeks are left until the end of the school year.
At the moment, I am very tired, but I have the intention of working in summer.
The problem is that I still don't have a job because we are in crisis, and I don't want to work in any kind of place, because I have studied all of the year very hard, and I don't want a hard work like last year.

As you know, last year I worked in a supermarket, Montserrat,in Ampuriabrava for a month and it wasn't bad, but it could have been better. Because of that I would like to find a job on a camping-side, or in a swimming pool, but I don't have a monitor's licence and I don't have enough time to take a course.

However, I want to go camping this summer with some friends, and if I work, I won't be able to, but if I don't work I won't have enough money to do a lot of things that I would like.

So,I have to think a lot, and I have to decide what is the best for me for this suumer. I hope I will come to the right decision.

The last month...

Summer, this is the word that appears in my brain when I think about the future. I am at the end of the 3rd term and aproximaly in one month I am going to enjoy the summer at its maximum and I'll be going to a party every day.
But now it's time to study and make the last effort to have the opportunity to study what I want in the future, which is engeneering. I am very tired, but to achieve important things, you have to work a lot, nothing is for free.I hope that everything will work out the best form possible and I will enjoy the summer holidays.

To achieve my goal, I have to improve my form of studying, work harder, etc. Because of that I have set up a timetable with all my shool-activities to try to consider all the things. But now, what is left is, realize all the things in the timetable like I have planed them to do.

My first impression is positive because I have achieved to do some things, but not everything.

The hope dies last, and I will achieve it!!!!!!!!!!!

The cloud of ash.

The eruption of a volcano in Iceland on the 15th of April,has altered the air traffic in Europe and has obliged the cancellation of 5000 flights in all the continent,emphasizing the UK, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France and Spain.

This is important because since then millions of passengers have been without any immediate chance to return to their homecountries and public transportation is collapsing.

Fortunately, I don't have to go to any place and so it doesn't affect me personally, but I worry about the climatic transformation of the planet in the last years. I hope that the problem will finish the best way possible and every thing will go back to normality.

However, as you know, the problem affects a lot of people, amongst them my cousin, who went to Norway last month, and he had planed to come home last week, but he can't leave the country.

Luckily, the airport told him that next week he will be able to fly home, and so will everybody else.

I hope that this situation won't happen again.
