Calvin Harris - Summer

Course assessment

Hi teacher!

The school will finish soon and first of all I have to say THANK YOU for all the things that you taught me in this year. I learnt a lot of vocabulary and that's great! I didn't expect that I would learn or understand the grammar and I do it, more or less..

What I've learned this year?

* I learnt a lot of vocabulary and expressions. I love learn something new because it's good for your grammar and the language.

* I understand the grammar and use the verbs with the correct form, but I have to improve them the next year.

* I have to improve my writings

* I have to improve my pronunciation and I know that the best way is watching films and listening music in english.

* The next year I will improve my writings and  pronunciation.

Opinion of this year?

I enjoyed a lot and I hope that the next year I enjoy it too and I would improve my problems with the subject.

Thanks you again! 

Assessment of oral presentations

INTERVIEW TO MALALA YOUSAFZAI

Awa Traore and I decided to interview to Malala, the young

girl who was shot in the head by the talibans and who won the Nobel

Prize in 2014.

Malala Yousafzai works for freedom of the girls and the education, 

and she has a fundation called Malala where she helps the young 

people.

Questions:

- How old you were when you started to write about what you thought about education?

- What did you want to be?

- What are you talking about on the blog that you wrote for the BBC Urdu?

- Who gave you the idea to write an anonymous blog criticizing the situation you were in? You think that was a good idea?

- Who received death threats in your family?

- Do you think that after the brutal attack people did something to improve education in Pakistan?

- What do you think that it increased the desire to kill you for the Talibans?

- What is your objective with your foundation "The Malala foundation"?

- Where have you been worked the past year?

- In which countries you have projects to promote the education?

Opinion:

Things to improve: 

* The vocabulary and the pronunciation of the words.

* Control of the nerves.

Good things:

* We didn't read because we worked so much with the interview and we were a lot of time doing the questions and the answers.

If I have to put a mark of our presentation I would put a 7.5!

BEGIN AGAIN - EMAIL

Hi Charlie,

It was great to hear from you. Sorry for not writing earlier but I've been really busy.

Last month was GREAT! Do you know that I'm in New York? Yes, I'm in New York!

I'll summarise what happened to me last month.

Dave and I decided to go to New York to follow our dream to be singers. Dave has singned with an important label which will make him famous. When we arrived to New York, he went to L.A with the company to start to work with the company. When he came to New York, he told me that he had a new girl, Mimi, one of the girls that we met last week. That was horrible for me! You know me. When he told me that, I caught my things and I went to Steve's home. That night we went to a local bar where Steve worked every night. Steve "forced" me to come on stage and I did. I sang one of my songs "A step you can't take back". And guess what? There was an A&R,Dan, who was looking fot a new talent.  started to work with him and we released my first album! But it isn't the only new news, I come back with Dave and I'm so happy.

As you can see, this month has been fukk! I am waiting for your email, my girl!

All the best,

Dienabou

Discussion essay 3 - How I met my bestfriend

I met my childhood best friend Charlie, when I was 8 years old. We were living in the same town since 7 years. We were almost the same years (she's two years bigger than me), so we played togheter, we had the same interests (we love the music), we enjoyed each other's company.

Actually, Charlie lives in Paris with her mother and big brother. She's 21, she studies law at the most popular university in Paris and I'm so proud of what she makes. She s beautiful girl both inside and outside. She's cheerful, outgoing and lovely. We love music and reading books of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, because we love them. In summer, the sundays, we closed the room and we read books. I know that can sound boring but when you are with your best friend, these sundays can be the best!

Every summer, she comes to my house for 2 months. Last year I went to Africa so she didn't come to my house, but in December she visited us to spent the Christmas holidays togheter. That was great!

Discussion essay 2 - Being a mom is great

Everybody knows our mother's value, the sacrifice, the energy, the effort that mothers do for their children. They will always be with her children and take care of them. Mother is always a blessing, but be mother is great?

On the one hand, being a mother means responsibility the 24/7, losing big part of your social life taking care of your sons, strain you the double.. So you have to change your life when you have a baby, you will never be the same women. You will have many things that will want to do but that you can't because you've a children. In this respect, then, it could be argued that being a mom is not great.

On the other hand, being a other means to grow, mature, being happy, a blessing... Mother is a definition of love, when you are a mother, all your world change, your mentality, your kind of looking, YOUR LIFE CHANGES! Now you've a little children who comes to the world for being part of you. You will be his teacher, his mother, his best friend... Being mother is wonderful!

In my opinion, being a mother is beautiful because it is part of you, he or she has been living inside of you for months. It's really incredible! So, you lose part of our life but you win a big gift!
