FINAL REFLECTION: MY ENGLISH PROGRESS

My first composition and my last composition don't varied so much, only I think is my fluency when I write. The difference between my oral presentations is the fluency and my pronuntation, because the first I prepareted a lot and the second not much.

In my blog I use a lot of resources (multimedia, links,..), but I repeted my topics (music, medicine,...). I structured good my ideas. Sometimes I varied vocabulary. In my oral presentations I use resources, like powerpoint, my body lenguage is a little bad, but I have a good structure and my ideas have good organized and my vocabulary is very rich. But I pronunced bad some words. In my writtings I have good structure, contents and connectors, but I think that I need improve my vocabulary.

FINAL REFLECTION: MY ENGLISH COMPETENCE IN 2012

BEST ORAL PRESENTATION:  http://emmaslike.blogspot.com.es/2011/11/oral-presentation.html
BEST WRITTEN:  http://emmaslike.blogspot.com.es/2012/03/can-internet-make-world-better-place.html


I have chosen this oral presentation because it was the best of the two that I have done this year. I think it's my best presentation because although it was boring, I didn't read anything and I spoke very fluently.
Then, I have chosen this written because I did it in class, without dictionaries or translators that could help me, and the truth is that the result has been very good. I am very proud of that.
 What makes better my oral presentation is to prepare it most, so I don't read anything and I improve my speaking. What makes better my writtings are connectors that improve my mark.

THE HUNGER GAMES

The other day I went to the cinema with my boyfriend to see The Hunger Games.

All starts with a the Dark Days, when districts fought for survival and out of decay. The Capitol, thanks to its advanced technologies, achieved the submission of twelve districts and the annihilation of the thirteenth, and to remind everyone that the Dark Days mustn't be repeated they created The Hunger Games, a competition in which a boy and a girl between twelve and eighteen years of each district must fight to the death.

At harvest of the participants (or tributes) of the Hunger Games, Katniss is provided voluntarily to save her sister Prim from certain death. Katniss and his partner district, Peeta Mellark, they venture to some games where they could die in seconds.

Everything changes when Peeta and Katniss are forced to feign love for the entertainment of the Capitol, but in an act to be both survivors, are seen as icons of the rebels. (I don't want explain the final).

I recommend watching this movie, because it is not the typical movie now out in cinemas. A long time since I last saw a movie so decent. I went to the cinema with an idea, but the truth I went with a different idea of starting and with a smile on my face because I had not disappointed at all. If the movie is good, I suppose the books will be much better. When I have time I'll read.

PEP GUARDIOLA

A few weeks ago Pep Guardiola said goodbye to Barcelona.

After so many doubts about his renewal, the other day left the Barça fans with a sad face after his retirement as coach of Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola has been the best coach in club history because of seventeen titles they could win, and they won thirteen (and fourteen if htey win the King Cup). The first year of Pep, Barcelona won all the titles that could win this season, six.

Now the club has left the team in the hands of Tito Vilanova, current assistant coach of Barcelona. Pep has been quiet with the club's decision, since it said that Tito is the ideal person to be the new coach.

After so many victories sung with Pep Guardiola, left us to "fill up" again.

 GUARDIOLA GOODBYE.

SELECTIVITY

I AM VERY NERVOUS! 

Missing a month to selectivity. For those who don't know is, selectivity is a series of tests that have to do to enter university. 

From now on, this will be a race without breaks. I will test after test, I will study as many hours as my body allows. If necessary I will drink coffee (I hate coffee). 

I want to get good marks in order to access the career I want to do. I think if you study a career you have to study what you like. 

Anyway, I hope everything goes well. If so, I will take valerian to relax, because there is still a month and I'm nervous yet.

NEWS: HIV prevention pill Truvada backed by US experts

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18030057

The panel has approved "Truvada", a single drug against HIV and help prevent it. 

Some agencies are in favor, as FDA, AIDS Vaccine Advocacy or Terrance Higgins Trust, AIDS patients currently have to take a drug cocktail with this drug with a single pill is enough. Furthermore, not only struggle with those who are already sick, it's also a preventive drug. 

Other agencies such, as AIDS Healthcare Foundation or nurse Karen Haughey, as it's a treatment that should always be taken because it has no effect, and it's doubtful that patients don't ever forget the pill. Another fear is that if approved the drug, people stop using condoms as thinking it's a 100% secure or HIV virus will be more resistant to drugs.

NEWS: Spanish banks forced to raise extra 30bn euros capital

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18031324

The Spanish government will provide 30 bn euros to banks unable to service their loans. Then, the banks will have to repay the money with interest at 10%. Currently, 45% of Bankia belongs to the Spanish government. Bankia had a loan of 4.476 bn euros bailout fund into action.

If banks demand money to the government, banks would become partial state ownership. 

After the reform, the Madrid Stock Exchange fell 3%. The Commission notes that the Spanish deficit this year is 6.4% and next year will be 6.3%. Instead, the Spanish government indicates that the deficit this year is 5.3% and next year will be 3%. The government said the loan wouldn't have any effect on the deficit.
