Self-evaluation

To do my oral presentation first I had to search the information. I used internet to find it because it is easier and quickly than searching in an encyclopaedia. It was necessary to find the information because I didn't know anything about the Cook Islands, maybe it was a reason to focus my attention in these little islands.

I think that when I was doing my oral presentation I looked at all my classmates most of the time, because I was trying to teach something new to them about these islands. Maybe I read a little bit from my notes, because I always feel nervous when I talk in front of a group of persons. I don't know if I did any movements or gestures to hold the attention of my classmates, because I think that most of them were listening to me, as I listen to their oral presentations too. 

In my opinion I organized my ideas with a coherent structure, maybe not in order of importance, but I did what I thought it was clearer to understand. For sure there a lot of other things of the culture of these islands that I didn't say, because I wanted to expose the most important ones. I used the powerpoint to show a little bit these important things using photographies and some phrases that I thought emphasise what I was talking about. 

To do this presentation I needed to use a dictionary, so I learnt a lot of new words. 

Before doing the presentation in front of the class I studied how to pronunce it, because for me it's a little bit difficult to pronunce well. Also my English teacher helped me a little bit in that point. I think I talked with the same tone voice during the presentation, and maybe with som breaks, surley because of the difficulty in pronouncing some words.

Pollution

Nowadays we have important problems of pollution, especially in big cities like Madrid, Sevilla or Barcelona. That cities and others form all around the world have pollution problems and it is really difficult to solucionate them. 
It is true that there are many policies, national and international, that try to solucionate these big problems, but in my opinion, is is insufficient and inadequate. Many days, if you live in a big city like Barcelona and you try to look  the clouds in the sky, you can't. Normally the sky is covered by a smoke cloud. However, situations like that are presents in many cities around the world. When you go for a walk in the streets of a big city you will see always a lot of traffic and that is the principal cause of the smoke cloud. 
There are many options to solucionate pollution problems. The first one and the most easy to do is to take public transport (train or bus) to go at work and not to take the own car, But there are many people who don't try to do the effort. 
However, some cities try to do something in their own, like a bycicle day or a public transport day. The only problemof these initiatives is that it is only one day a year, and it should be all the year. For example, in Barcelona, had got success the initiative of 'Bicing', and now there are many people who uses the bycicle and not the car. 
I know that these are poor solucions in front of a big problem. All the society should aware about this, because it is our world and our responsability to take care of it. 

Computers

Now I'm going to talk you about the computers and about the modern times. Are the computers necessary to our lives?

On the one hand, I think that we can find the information quickly with internet. Also, technology industry given job to a lot of people. But, on the other hand, I think that there are a lot of people that have technology dependence, because the first thing that hey do when they or the Play Station, Wii and other ones. I also think that we don't need technology to service. The society makes it as necessity.

It's necessary to do ther things, for example play sports, travel, read...

FRIENDSHIP

For my friendship is to have trust with a person for to tell things and be sure that he will not say anothing. A friend is the person that will by moments with you in the god and in the bad and never leave you alone when have a problem.

I have learned to assess the word friendship to choose my friends. I prefer to have few friends, because if I have a lot friends, when I need then, they don't remember me It' better quality and not quantity, in other words, it's btter few and food than more and bad.

I think in my life the true friends are my family because they will be always there.

Education



I want to talk a little bit about the education because I think it is a privilege that not everybody has, and those who have the opportunity to go to the school don't appreciate it. 
In the First World, most of the kids think that they have to go to the school because it is an obligation, or maybe they don't want to go to the school so they don't try to do their homework and they don't study. The obbligatory education ends when kids are 16 years old, and in Spain the percentatge of kids that don't end the ESO (Obligatory Education) is really high. 
Whereupon when they will apply for a job they will have problems, because most of the companies demand the ESO. All these kids and teenagers don't appreciate the luck they have. They can go to the school! 
In Africa, for example, and some other countries of Asia, the kids have to fight to get one opportunity to go to the school. These kids begin to work too early, and most of them can't go to the school, and I'm sure that they would like to go. 
Because of that, I think that we have to teach to our kids that they have to appreciate a little bit more the school, because it will be important for them in the future. We have to fight to reduce that percentatge of the kids that leave the school too early. They have to aware that they could study, a privilege that a lot of kids would have and they don't! 



Describing Rome

Last year I went to Rome with the school, one of the most wonderful cities. Rome is the capital of Italy, and it is a city with a lot of history and romantic stories. 
The civilization of the ancient Rome is one of the most amazing and powerful from all the times, because they control a lot of places from all Europe. I think that their mithology is incredible, they had some different Gods that represent different things (skies, fertility, hell, knowledge...). Also that people built important buildings that  nowadays are monuments. I think, for example, in the 'circus romanus' or the Coliseum, and when Christianity was accepted as the official religion of the Roman Empire, they built a lot of churches. 
So Rome has a lot of monuments that atract a lot of people from all around the world. One of them and most known is the Coliseum, or the spring Fontana di Trevi. It is also very close to Vatican, and there are a lot of faithful perosons who want to visit Saint Peter's Cathedral. However, it is also a very romantic city, so many couples want to visit it in they honeymoon. It is one of the best destinies of Europe. 
As a conclusion, I think that Rome is a big city and very wonderful, and you have a lot of things to do and to visit there. It is one of the best beautiful cities of the South Europe, and I'm really happy because I was there and I could visit it a year ago.
