FINAL REFLECTION

I'm so melancholy because this is my last post. I had been writing here since 2014 and even at the beginning it was hard at the end I love write here because I could express what I felt in any moment. The truth is that I believe now I'm more mature and as a result of it is that the topics or writings are more logical. 

My first post in this blog was the 26th of September of 2014 and the title is Bucket list. It was a task were we had to made a list saying our objectives. Nevertheless to compare my last post I take my first your-says because there I'll be able to analyze better my evolution. It is a composition called From orange to red.

I can see a large change or evolutions since 2014 to now. The great change I can appreciate is the extension of the writings. At the beginning my compositions took up 10 lines however on my lasts post I tried to widen it. I can appreciate my low level or my difficulties writing it compared to my last posts. I know that my readings aren't perfect but from the first one of this blog here have been a evolution. 

For example I can demonstrate my difficulty.  The sentences are too short and I used a simple syntactic, I only used past simple and present simple. In contrast this year I used a big syntactic variety because we spend hours and hours in class working grammar.  My vocabulary was basic and almost always I used the same words as bad, good, happy and satisfy. On the other hand, I think that I use a variety lexical because I always tried to search synonyms to don't repeat words. Another point that really grab my attention are some spelling errors in From orange to red composition which are cahange it should be change, parets when it should be parents or read when it should be red. It are mistakes that I didn't find and it shows my low level. In my lasts posts I'm really sure that there are mistakes but it seems to me that it aren't as these. 

Besides it, compositions aren't the unique things that shows the change. There are oral presentations that show it. I don't have my first oral presentation but I remember my feeling and the sensation of how it was. 
I remember I prepared it so much and the content I'm sure that it had been as now. In contrast the language, the vocabulary it were more simple and basic compared to the last presentation. My fluency is better now than in the beginning, even thought nowadays I continue getting tongue-tied. I must be sincere and confess that now I'm able to think in english, thing that it hadn't happened before because I thought in english and then I translated the sentences. For this reason I feel that my english is a little bit more fluid and as a consequence my last presentation was better than others before. 

To sum up, I really think I had realized a change or a develop during the years I was doing and writing on this blog. It helped me to improve my english and to develop some skills that are difficult. 


Now I finished baccalaureate I wish to share with you my best composition and my best oral presentation. Or almost the once I think are my bests. I'm so proud about my writing that was a little Research Essay that is called Is jealousy natural? I really believe that it is my best composition because I dedicated a week to write it because I searched and sorted the information and then I wrote it. I used all the grammar that the teacher taught us during the year and the vocabulary is assorted. I tried to not repeat words to made a special composition. 

Furthermore, my oral presentation that I consider that was great is the once I talked about my research project.  I was so nervous but even thought the presentation was fantastic. I didn't have a perfect fluency because to me it is hard but I tried to balance it out with new vocabulary and expressions. On the other hand, I did some mistakes but I know which are it and currently I'm carefully to don't do it. 

I hope you have enjoy reading my posts and if It doesn't it, I'll write better in a future because I want to continue progressing and writing something more here. Enjoy the summer and see you soon !

MEXICAN MOM WHO INVESTIGATED DAUGHTER'S DEATH IS KILLED

I want to comment with you a news which took place in Mexico but is very worried for this reason I'll explain you what is happening there nowadays. This article explains that currently are disappearing a great number of students which are kidnap and then murder. 

The article is focused in a mother of once victim who was killed 10th of May because she gave information about the incident to police and they arrest and jail the gang called the Zetas. The woman was murder in her house because one of the member of the gang began to harass her. She asked for protection but nobody wanted to guarantee it. 

This murder, has been disturbed to people and they started a campaign to found the students who are missing because the institutions aren't implicated. 

I'm very surprised because I  have seen some films about this incidents but I never should thing it will happened in the real life. If I could, I would be there to help the people who is suffering this. Lose a son or a daughter is very difficult and affect completely to a family, I know it because in my family happened years before and it suppose a big break up of the family. Everybody will fight to solve this problems but current institutions are lost and most of them don't want to do anything for fear. The world is preparing for the Third Wold Ward and most of the countries are watchful for if it begin. 

I want to transmit my support to the families who are living a hard period on their life, it will solve in a near future, you must be fighting and supporting each others because together you are more strong.

When I read the article I learned two words which help me to improve my english. They are gang and mushroomed

HARRY POTTER PREQUEL STOLEN IN BRIMINGHAM BULGARY

Are you Harry Potter fan?  So, you can't miss the article wrote in BBC news which I'll talk in this post. It was published the 12th of May but the incident happened a moth ago. The article explains the burglary of Harry Potter prequel which was write for a charity auction in 2008 and it has been sold for 25,000$. 

JK Rowlling posted a tweet saying that nobody should buy it. The burglary victim said that this occurrence was shocking but now he only wants to recuperate it. Furthermore, he is worried because the perpetrator will win a lot of money, if he sell it. For this reason the investigator are keep an eye on the social media in case that appear signs of the perpetrator trying to sell it.

This article surprise me because a prequel of Harry Potter was lost last month and it is something very valuable and I really believe that rich and good condition people will control their possessions. On the other hand, I think that burglaries have increase this lasts years in all the countries. My hypothesis is that the number of poor people had increase and for this reason they need to robber to live. We don't realize that number of poor people had increase because prices decrease and the style-lie too. 

So, we must be conscious that crisis is still present and even the situation seems better it isn't. We must help poor people and if we do it, the number of crimes will decrease because if we don't change it the world will be a completely caos.

When I read the article I learned some words which help me to improve my english. They are penned, plea and auction.

Here I leave you the news in video format if you would watch it, it will help you to understand better the new I explained in before.

TO "RESPECT" WOMEN, TRUMP HAS TO RESPECT THEIR RIGHTS

The last project we worked in class is called Human Rights and we have to do some tasks related with this right. In this post I'll comment an article associated with women rights. It commented that Donald Trump wrote a twitter before the elections saying nobody have more respect to women than him. But after elections we could see that wasn't false although   his actions and taunts. 

Now he is in the presidency of United States and he is fighting to overtake this unfairness to women. Before his presidency women suffered raps and physical violence, Trumps established a some mesures to overcome it. Another inequality he suffered is in work because the majority of women were discriminated when they were pregnant and in the most occasion they didn't earn a salary. Trump stablished a law in which he guarantee six weeks of maternity to each mother.

He wanted to eliminate discrimination works which most of women or child did. And fought to make equal the salaries of men and women. Trump promised he will be the president of all Americans for this reason he will put women in the same position of equality as men. 

He established a law against abortion because it harm health of women. He approve a health center to guarantee reproduction rights. He knows there are inequality around the world but he forget it and he focused his action in United States because is a place where the inequality is largest than in other countries.

I really believe that Trump is dangerous as a president of United States because as my point of view, he belongs to extreme right. On the other hand I'm proud he is trying to guarantee women right to women, that in most of countries don't respect it. The situation of women in the world is better than fifty years ago, but I think we must live with the same rights as men. For this reason, although I not agree with Trump in the majority of his actions in his presidency, this acts show that he is a excellent person or almost he treat everybody with dignity and honesty.

I learn some words when I was reading the article. They help me to improve my english, they are mockery, outlierpledged and harassment

Here I leave you a video where you can check when Donald Trump said that he respect women rights in a debate face to face again Hillary Clinton before the elections. 


DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE PARTNER

It is said that a soulmate is almost impossibe to find but we may find a perfect life-partner. I knpw I'm very young but I really believe I have had it in my side for seven months.

His name is Biel, he is my boyfriend and he is 22 years old. We met on a party last summer and since then we fell in love. He has a large face, a wide nose and light-brown and small eyes. His lips are thin and soft. His hair is ash grey and is too short because I cut it two weeks ago. He is short, fit and slim, that is to say, he has a good body shape. He wears glasses becasue he has sight problems since he was little, but he sometimes wears contact lenses.

He ended his degree last year in ESCAC, so he is graduated and he is a scriptwriter. He did some projects in advertising companies but now he doesn't work because labour market is difficult. He is hard-working and he is always doing things to improve his curriculum. Now he is studying to pass the First Certificated exam in June.

He is athletic and he loves playing basketball with his friends and in his free time or going to the gym. Although, he prefers writing something or improving his scripts. He likes exotic countries and he would like to travel around the world, although his economy doesn't let him. 

He is quick-witted and shrewd because his work requires him and he is demanding with himself. He is smart ans has a lot of knowledge in culture. He is racional and is hardly ever impulsive. He seems distant at first sight because he is sensitive and he put a wall in front of hum, but in his deep inside he is very affectionate, he is an angel.

I like him because of his qualities which are admirable and he is very loving. His unique defect that he is negative and he rarely thinks in a postive way but he is trying to improve it. He always makes me feel confortable on his side and he always makes me laugh. For these reasons I believe he is or could be my life-partner.

DO WE LIVE BECAUSE WE ARE CAPRICIOUS?

Do you think humans are capricious? In posts before I talked about university, beauty, human rights, etc. But I really believe about the intention of humans in life. I strongly think that humans set out aims and goals to achieve and spend a lot of time trying to get it. 

Then, once we achieve our aim and get it, humand become happy and fortunate. Althought this happines is temporary because once we reach our goals we bored it or it let down us because we imagine it different and when we got it, it isn't we imagine. So, when it happens our we search another goal and this stay behind. 

Thinking about this theory I imagine, because it is what happen to me, I concluded that humans don't esteem what we have and we are constanly searching other things. This actitude is a sign of little consideration towars ourselves, becuase we apply all our effort to achieve the aims and in a short period of  time we devalue it. It is a sign of  the insecurity in life or a sign we are lost and don't know what do with our life, for this reason we search aims to distract ourselves. 

I explain it, because I had an aim years before but my  mind changes and I realize that I was searching some distractions to made me belive I was being happy. My aim was join in a competition team of my dance school and win the competitions we singed up. In August I was accepted in competition team and we started training sessions. Days after it, I met a boy in a party and we began to

know. From that party, my life and my aims changed. I realized my goals were whims. Now I participate in competition but it isn't satisfactory to me because it is something I don't want right now. But I take concious and I want to convince me that it was my dream for years and I'll be happy to achieve my aim. 

I want to stay with my boyfriend in all my free time, but I can't refuse my dream althout currently it disturb me because in future I'll reget if I leave my dream. For this reason I think humans are capricious because we change our aims quickly and don't think highly of our effort.

HUMAN RIGHTS

What do you think that human rights are? It is a difficult question because nobody request us it and if someone ask us this the majority of people don't know what to answer b ecause we never or almost never we reflect on it. 

The correct definition human right is that it are the rights everybody have in the simple act of be humans. Everyone of us have every right to have this rights because are universals. Don't matter the religion, the country, the gender or any fact, you have this rights.

Human rights appeared at 539 BC more o less. Bedore it didn't be human rights and people lived in crwods were everybody respected the others members of their crowd. But Cyrus the Great chnage that saying every slaves were free because he stablished people had the freedom to choose their religion. And wrote them on Cyrus cylinder. Even tought, human rights weren't recognized until at 1628 in England by Magna Carta. Since then, human right begin.



In the list of Human Rights that were declarated there are 30 human rights. I wanted to dig deeper in some articles of this human rights. One of them is the article 12 which says:

"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."


This article is is executed in most of the countries but there are a attacks to reputation and honor that aren't protecrted against the law. Bullyng is present in every school and even the teachers try to solve them there are many cases. Currently has been apllied some organitations and telephon numbers to help childs who are bullyng victims. This is one exemple that in a lot of countries this article isn't respected at all. 

Another human right I can't wait to comment is the article 15 which says:

"(1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality."

This article nowadays is fulfilled but there had been some cases when this article wasn't obey by some conrties when they where in war. For example, when Franco won the civil war all the repubilcans in Spain that took up exile in France were called statless by Franco. Besides jewish were considered statless or that they didn't be germans, too. This doesn't happen more or I think so, but it was disrespect before when human rights were already set.

Human rights must be respected by everybody because it make people human, and disrespect them will show that some part of the world isn't human but rather are monsters who don't leave live in peace.
