FINAL REFLECTION

My first post was in 2013. I talked about my dreams. I think that I can get achieve to travel to New York. This is the easier dream. The hardest one is live on the Upper East Side. I follow with the idea to be a business woman. Nowadays, I follow with the idea to be a business woman. I am a straight thinking person. Comparing with my last post, I have improved a lot my vocabulary and my grammar. i have more maturity writing. It's more easy write a text now than three years ago. 

Talking about oral presentations I improve too. I have more fluency when I speak and my pronunciation is better. However, I follow getting really nervous when I introduce something in public. I think that this never change. My first oral presentation was about Jewish milestones and the last one was about my research paper. 

During these years, I have done some podcasts. I think my best one is my London podcast because it's the last one and it's more worked than the others. Also by reason of it's my favourite. When I done it, I remembered my travel to London. It was a very good experience. I would like to go back in the future. Link

If I have to choose the best writing I don't know which is the best one. I think that there are more than one that are good. I like do your-says, because I express my opinion about one topic. The best ones are the latests because there are more worked. 

With this post I close my English blog. Doing it, I really improved my english. It's a good idea to do a blog because with the your-says you have to think about different topics and sometimes it's difficult to express what you think aboout it in a writing. News are so useful too because you read high texts and you learn lots of good vocabulary. Also because you know what happen in the world. I don't want to leave my English. I would like to learn more and more and get a very good knowledge from this language.  

DESCRIPTION (person)

When you see him, you feel a strange feeling, but I don’t know if it is good or bad. This mysterious person is a girl. She is about twenty years old. She is tall and quite slim. She has got wavy brown long hair. She looks like an actress or model because she is stunning. Her skin is like porcelain, so perfect. Besides, she seems fit. I think that she has been doing some sport quite a while. On the contrary, she seems so fragile too. I find her every day when I am back home from the university. When I see her beauty, I disconnect to the world. I am crazy about her, and above all with her big blue eyes. She loves coffee because she is always in the same bar drinking one. One day I talked with her and her voice is melodic. I think that she is from another country because when she talks, you can hear a French accent.

YOUR-SAY: ELDERLY PEOPLE IN OUR SOCIETY

Nowadays, we live in a society aged so much, due to many reasons such as the highest life expectancy that we have.

Each towns or cities have different activities addressed to old people. In relation to the activities which are done with elderly people, I think that these are fantastic. There are excursions, workshops… For example, in my town there is a building centre where old people go there every Friday in order to meet, speak and spend the afternoon together.

However, elderly people can have some attention problems. Not all old people have someone who takes care of them and there is a moment that they need really attention. In the same way that these old people had looked after their children, now adults, I think that these children have to look after their parents when they are old. However, it’s true that there are residences where they stay, though I don’t think it’s the best place.

Talking about adolescents, things have changed too much recently. Respect to elderly people is one of the things that we can’t forget.

As a conclusion, old people deserve the right attention and respect above all from their family because surely they have done the same for their children before.

                                                     

NEWS: TURKEY'S ERDOGAN TAKES TOUGH EU LINE AFTER PM QUITS

Turkey's president has told the EU it will not change its anti-terror laws in return for visa-free travel. The EU has asked Turkey to revise its laws as a condition for allowing Turkish citizens visa-free travel for short stays. They want that migrants, mainly Syrians, returns to Turkey from Greece in order to ease Europe's migration crisis. Mr, Erdrogan said that the proposed constitutional changes were a national need.

The EU wants Turkey to change their laws about terrorism in order to be more similar to EU standrards. Mr. Erdogan doesn't agree because he said that Turkey remained under a severe threat of terrorism. Turkey is near Syria and Iraq. He says: "We will go our way, you go yours". 

My opinion:

I think that terrorism has to finish. War is not the solution for problems in life. Then, also think that we would have to help building homes in refugees' countries in order to they can come back. Also, because if lots of people comes in a country this is not good for this because there will be too many people.

NEWS: CANADA WILDFIRE: IMAGES SHOW FORT MCMURRY DEVASTATION

There was a devastating wildfire in the Canadian city of Fort McMurray. The exact scale of the damage is difficult to say. 1.600 homes and other buildings have been destroyed. Whole neighbourhoods have been wiped out.

Some parts of the city are still standing as the hospital. The city's airports suffered only minor damange thanks the efforts from the firefighters. The residents who fled their homes said that this couldn't be real. 

The fire in the province of Alberta covers 850 sq km and the entire city of almost 90.000 people was evacuated three days ago. Bill Stewart, co-director of the University of California's Center for Fire Research and Outreach, says that only nature can stop fire entirely. It's a dangerous and terrifying time for the firefighters. 

My opinion:

Unfortunately, nature punishes us with these natural disasters. Luckily, in this case there aren't death people because they were evacuated some days ago. I think that firefighters are so important in our life. In my area, in the summer of 2012 there was a big fire. I wish that I never see another time a fire so nearly from me.

NEWS: KENYA BUILDING COLLAPSE: DEMOLITION OF UNFIT HOUSES STARTS

Authoriries in Kenya have begun demolishing homes in an specific area. Last week, the collapse of a building killed at least 26 people. This building had been declared unfit for human habitation. Like this, there are lots of buildings that have to be destroyed.

At this moment, there are eight buildings destroyed in the district of Huruma. The buildings' structures aren't resistant for all the people that live inside. People were warned a week ago to vacate, but they don't leave their home until the last moment. 

Another building collapsed on 29 April, for the height Kenya's rainy season. The rescue operations continue. There are soldiers, firefighters and volunteers. Trained dogs are helping too. On Kenyan TV, transmited the rescued by a 24-years-old woman who was pregnant. She was through slabs. 

My opinion:                                                                 
I choose this news because talks about one human right. People have the right to have a deserving home. There are lots of people that don't have a shelter or that live in an awful condition. Especially in developening countries. This is not fair, and less when we talk about children because adults can survive more easily.

YOUR-SAY: CANDEM TOWN MARKET

In February, when I went to London with my highschool classmates, we visited lots of interesting places. One of my favourite was Candem Town. 

When you visit it you can't believe that you are in London. It's very different from thw city centre, As London city is very modern, Candem Town has a hippie style. In the streets there are lots of shops and the buildings are very creative and well decorated. There are tattoes shops, souvenirs shops, clothes shops... I got in most of them and had a look at their souvenirs. Actually, I bouhgt a book called "In a dark dark wood" in Waterstone's Bookshop.

At the end of the street there is the Candem Market, a really cultural place. This market has two differents spaces. The first one, has many food stands with typical food from different cities of the world. And the second one you can buy clothes, jewels, arts and crafts ans so on.

I really enjoyed visiting Candem Market. If I ever go back to London, this will be a place I will visit again.
