Hello everybody, as you know we are Mercè and Laia and fort he last oral presentation we have decided to choose an interesting topic because anyone have chosen it.
The mundial school level is the litle of our presentation.

Well, first, we want to give you some infromation about PISA that are the responsoble of the international evoluation.

Their work is to compare the academic results of the 15 years old students of differents countries about Maths, reading, sciences and problems resolutions and they classify the academic level between 1 to 6.
The countries that participated the last in 2006, were those that you can see

Now, let’s go to see the results that Catalonia had:
Catalans students have a three level of sciencies, so this results aren’t bad because they are on the average of the OCDE countries.
In Maths the level is acceptable, also with the three level, but the main problem is with the reading comprehension because Catalonia is over average this results as you can see are bad and we ask ourselves which are the causes.

David: Do you know which are the causes?
Well, one of the causes is the immigration, because a lot of studies that did the exams weren’t born in Spain and some of them have just arrived and they didn’t dominate the catalan and they didn’t arrive to the level.
An other cause that you can see in our highschool, is that in third ESO there are a lot of students repeating.
Also it is curious that if the parents have studied until to 14 years old and they have a good economy the sutudent has good marks.

In spite of that all countries have same conditions and so the governament is seardring the way to imporve the reading comprehension in catalan and is spanish and working to improve the level.

We think that the work of PISA is useful to help the countries to know if they education is good or bad like catalonia.

Nuria: Why do you choose arts batxillerat if not scientific batxillerat?
Well, she isn’t a strange case, because it cheek that the majority of girls are better on arts, reading that not on maths or chemical, this is more for boys. But every rule has his expiation and we are a exception. But if you look you can see that, for example, in this school, has more boys in scientific batxillerat that not in arts batxillerat, for something it must be not?

We also think that before they teach you less information but it was more important for life
And the last problem of our adolescent live, the university, it’s very difficult chose a degree when we only have 17 years old, and this degree it’s for all of our live. For this it has a very big percentage of boys and girls, that they left the degree on the first year, the reasons it’s always the same, because they think that the degree was a choose and result that is another completely different, maybe it’s a problem of information, or maybe that how a lot of people said that the degree on the first year it’s the worse. Well we expect that we can pas this to us!

Well, as we could be talking about this topic a lot of hours, we want that you think about this and in a future ewe hope that the problem will be resolved our oral presentation finishes here, we hope that you liked it and you have understood that also people who lives in the devoleped would need a change.

Thank for your attention, if you have any questions this is the moment...

Jamaiiica

Hello class, Hello teachers.

Good morning everybody

Well, the country that we chose is Jamaica because we think that it’s a country that can interest to all the class. Ok, let’s start.

Jamaica it’s the third biggest island of Antilles. The Capital is Kingston that it’s the biggest commercial city. The official language is English but the Jamaicans spoke a local dialect which is a mixture of words in Spanish, African and French

The islanders are nice and friendly people and they love smiling. His economy is based on the fishing, the growing of pigs and the cultivation of their lands. They still follow the tradition of build their house with wood and paint the wall with shine colors. The music is in their blood, and they love dancing. The minimum musical sound in the distance takes them to it.

I’m sure that everybody sometimes have been listening about the (restafarismo), but I think that anybody know a lot about it. The (restafarismo) isn’t a religion, it’s is a culture, that was born in Jamaica, and it around all the Caribe and in the black communities of Gran Britain and USA. His culture is based on the bible.

For them, the (rasta) is a very important symbol and they respect it a lot,
The flag of the (rastafirs) is red, that means the blood spread of our brothers, the yellow the gold, the green it means the grow, and the black the colour of the skin of their brothers

Well now we speak about the music of Jamaica. Jamaica has different kinds of music like, ska, rocksteady, dub, dancehall, ragga y ragga jungle, and finally the most typical and that everybody knows is the REGGAE
The reggae is a derivation of ragga, that is an abbreviation of raggamuffin, in English his significate is harapiento. We use this label to descript the poor in Jamaica, and also the Rastas and cultural movements of the poor districts.
The name “reggay” his means is “regular”.

The most popular music is the reggae wich Bob Marley created, who did a culture, with his music. The first kind is ska where he was the father. Also, he create a band called: “The Skatalites”. Other oldest music on the island is Mento, the Ghost and Calypso.

The Reggae’s father is Bob Marley that you know. Bob Marley was a musician and member of Rastafari Moviment.
Their songs talk about peace and love, and whit their rhythm people fly and discover other fascinating worlds.

One of the best-known anecdotes about the Jamaica sport is the victory of his selection in the world championship bobsleigh, a winter sport.
Jake the other day said that Jamaica hasn’t got a good team of Football, but we say now, that in 1998 Jamaica went to World Cup of football, this it’s a great job, but they only got 3 points, and they can’t passed to the other round.

If you go to Jamaica don’t forget to eat the most famous lunch: “the rondón” and the “bushy” that is a very delicious drink but also is very strong, control because you can get drunk.

Frankenstein

After we reading the book and after watching the film, we saw that the book and the film had a differences:
Elisabeth in the book has got blue eyes and blond hair -- She has got brown eyes and dark hair.
Victor has got young brother twins (William - Ernest) -- He has got only a young brother (William)
Victor’s father dies of sadness after Elisabeth’s death -- Frankiestein kills Victor’s father
Victor creates Elisabeth after she dies -- This topyc hadn't pass.
Frankenstein has a yellow eyes and the skin also, and he has 2,50m -- He is a normaly person, but he is very ugly
Victor met Henry Clerval in the university --- they are childhood friends
Henry dead -- He didn't dead
Felix and Agatha, the poor family, they are a marriage -- they are brothers
They do the honey moon in their house -- they went in front of the one lake

legend: purple --> book / black --> film

It's a good history?
Well I think that this film it's a very importan and famous, in my opinion I think that it was better films than this, but well I liked to see it.

My cousin

MY COUSIN:

He’s Aleix is my cousin. Went he was born I went to the hospital to saw him, and my uncles said if I want to do bridesmaid, and of course I said yes!
He’s only 1 year but for his age he’s tall. He has a green and grey eyes, his eyes are strange, because went he stay in the shadow his eyes are dark green but went he stay in the sun his eyes are green-grey, a strange color that I never had seen. He’s blonde, it’s strange because all the family has dark hair, but I think that when he will be older his hair will change.
He is little, but this doesn’t mean that he hasn’t got a character. He is very nice, when someone go to him they always smile, although when he has bad humor, it’s terrible because he starts to put bad faces and crying, and nobody can catch him. Also he has a strongly character, because if you did something that he didn’t like he always start “speaking” he said “eh eh”, but not whit a nice voice if not with a strongly voice. Sometimes he has two-faced, because a part that he is a nice baby, he sometimes search the people for lunch or dinner, for the food, he is intelligent for this, and for other things. How he is a baby he is a naughty, he loves playing whit “lego”, and always went I finished to do a house he just destroyed it.
He is my first little cousin, my other cousin are older than me, for this I considerate that he is a treasure, maybe are my imaginations, but sometimes when I was sad, he came to me and he sits in my legs, and he huge me or sometimes he does the clown! It’s very nice! Maybe he does involuntary, but this thing do that day by day I love him much, because I must to say that first of all, I thought that he was a “silly” baby, because everybody do more case, maybe are the jealous, but now I don’t think so and I think that it’s the best cousin that someone can has.
