FINAL REFLECTION

1. Can you see an improvement on your level of English in the past year/s? Where, for example?

Yes, in general in improving, expanding my vocabulary like a book being written with new plot. It's a shame I could learn more about British culture, I wanted to know more about their Tea times and in general a little bit more history of Britain.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English?

I think I'm mainly good in writing in English but I know I have more potential if I use my oral expresion to talk with people. Expression is esencial in jobs because if the other doesn't understand you there will be a lot of complications at the time something occours or propose a new project. Although I know I love writing in English the special activities I like the most are the your-essays, in those, I can talk about everything and anything I desire.

3. Which activities were really USEFUL to improve your English? Why?
The ones that imply the writer to use the vocabulary learnt throughout all the projects in this year. Mostly the tasks and even the news helped me to improve my English level.

4.Which activities did NOT were really USEFUL to learn English? Why not?
Sincerely, the oral presentations, I get so nervous in those situations that I forgive the vocabulary to say in my presentation, also there's another one, the songs, some songs are not that useful if the person who listens to it doesn't like them or doesn't pay enough attention to the song and talks with other classmates.

5.Which activities would you like to do again next year to keep improving your English?
Deffinetely I would still like doing blog your-essays in my blog and other personal opinion activities because there are very reflective about the daily lives of everyone.

6.Open comments
Maybe, there are some activities that students love to do, but it's more easy to ask them what kind of activities would want to do in each term and the teacher needs to have the capacity to make those activities suitable for them, it may improve the English of students if they do what they like to do, but in English.

Panda Caretaking Center

48 Hinchun Street

Hong Kong

Dear Mrs. Lia Yang,

I am writing to you in response your web advertisement for a caretaking volunteering job in your Panda Caretaking Center. I would like to apply in this position because I personally think those animals need more attention that it seems to be, specially nowadays where people cut off entire forests in Asia for mass producing paper. I am aware of the cost for maintaining those poor animals in good state, that is why I want to work with you for a modest price.

I am wary that I need a strong mind and strong feelings of responsibility, and of course the will to be hours and hours watching over pandas, cleaning them.... cleaning their mess.... feeding them... but I do have those requirements and I also love taking care of animals, specially those who have furr and a big belly.

I'm awaiting for you response Mrs. Lia Yang, hope you write to me as soon as posible, thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Dawid

TRUMP 'DOES BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE', SAYS US AMBASSADOR TO UN

He knows "the US has to be responsible for it and that's what we're going to do" said Nikki Haley.

The president provoked widespread condemnation when he announced on Thursday the US would withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement. With this the United States becomes one of only three countries outside its framework. When he made the announcement , Mr Trump said the deal would hurt the US economy. He made no mention of climate change science.

During his election campaign, Mr Trump had said that climate change was a hoax and, since his announcement on Thursday, has avoided questions on the subject.

"Just because the US got out of a club doesn't mean we aren't going to care about the environment" Ms Haley yold CNN, adding that the terms of Paris agreement, reached in 2015, were "too onerous"

In resume, there are countries that are changing their terms in the Paris climate change agreement, This will have consequences in our future, the temperature will not rise 2.1 Cº but 4.7 Cº by 2100.

This is because countries like US, are too worried for their economy to invest in filters for carbon dioxide emissions while other countries are not paying for them and have better economies like China. Surely this is a lot worse than ever it could be, if the principal emission countries don't want to pay for climate change then the world is doomed with a HOT, literally HOT  future

LONDON ATTACK 4TH OF JUNE 2017

Seven people have been killed in a terror attack near London Bridge. Police shot dead the three attackers. Ambulance service says 48 patiens were taken to five hospitals; 21 are in critical condition, four police officers were injured, two seriously. Eight armed officers fired a total of 50 bullets at the three attackers. One member of the public suffered gunshot wounds and is receiving treatment in hospital. Also 12 people have been arrested during police raids in Barking, east London. It's understood one of the attackers lived at the address in Barking; neighbours say he was married with two children. The general election will go ahead on 8 June and all major political parties suspend national campaigning. In this sittuation police have opened a casualty bureau.

If this still goes on in London I believe there will be a change of Defense Protocols in every single public establishment in London, to prevent those attacks, even those buildings where people pass through alot of times during the day.

THE DANGER SECRET FACILITIES SUPPOSE TO HUMANITY

Who knows what expermients are doing in those secret facilities?

Every country in the world has it's own secrets but for me only two make me feel worried about what they're doing for being a secret to the extremes that they cannot tell anyone, even to public media.

One of these countries is United States of America. This is a very rich country and I believe they invest billions of dollars to investigations. Specially now with Donald Trump it's all a mystery with him, who knows what's he thinking about? 

The other country it's Russia, everyone believes that this is a developing country, but I think that's not true at all, it's possible they have underground complex investigating the same way as U.S.A. They're very unnoticeable because not many things happen in Rusia, making this country pretty silent and undercovered for the rest of the world, even tough we all know Rusia is participating indireclty in war in Siria. 

Just imagine what would happen to the rest of the countries if those two giants confront? Just think about it, they secretly are developing new technologies to improve their powers in war circumstances. Just try to imagine a world when suddenly a third world war takes place, those countries definetely will bring with them new technologies to war like rayguns, plasma rifles, etc.... etc..

The other suspicious country would be China, this country has a lot of population, there is a lot of industrial process but maybe this is just to cover what they hide below their feets ...

(Maybe im getting a little bit conspiratorial here ) But again, who knows what do they think right now?

SUMMER JOB

Hello everybody!, this summer I 'm sure I will start for the first time working in a chinese restaurant. It will be tough as far as I know. How did it all start? Well, I was searching for job before the school year end, I was searching for one because I wanted a new computer to take to Barcelona next year (I couldn't take my mum laptop and leave her without a computer I would feel ashamed for her) so one day my old elementary school chinese friend sent me a message on whatsapp of a proposal for a job in her father's restaurant, I accepted it because I wasn't finding any job (there were all full for now).

She told me this work will be tough and it will cost a lot of time of my life to work there, from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM with only 2 hours of rest (from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) every day. There would also be days of rest but not the entire day just half of the day, in other meanings I would start working not at 12:00 PM on my rest days but at 6:00 PM.

My monthly salary wouldn't be that great though, I feel a little bit worried about this because it's a lot of time working just for 600-700 euros monthly like if it was an explotation. But I don't mind that much really, I just want to buy a new computer and then next year when I return there I know my monthly salary will not be 700 euros monthly but about 1000 monthly plus the extra tip given daily.

I just wish myself good luck this summer!! :)

P.D: The picture below isn't the local I will work in.

DO GRUDGES EXIST? ARE THERE SOME THINGS THAT SCIENCE CANNOT EXPLAIN AT ALL?

Many people think that grudges doesn't exist, that it's product of ancient thinking traditions which passed on in generations. If actually something indeed was creating misfortune people around would start thinking that actually the grudges exists. But our society isn't that kind isn't it ?

Every single human, inside their brains, have a defense mechanism that produces disbelief and confusion with those information whic their own minds cannot explain. For an example if you tell somebody "Oh my god! I have seen a ghost in my house!" Obviously people around will not believe in what's saying he/she. This is a protection, people doesn't want to know that there are things unexplainable for themselves and are afraid of those things to actually exist in their daily lives.

Science, throughout all the mankind history made huge mistakes and huge discoveries, some of them remain unexplainable due to lack of knowledge or just by being ignorant persons, afraid of discovering or accepting the "Paranormal World". In fact there are some things that science cannot explain, for example: 

-Chair of Death ( Busby's Stoop Chair)

During World War II, airmen from an nearby base made the pub a hot spot, and the chair became a "hot seat" and people noticed that the ones who sat in it would never come back from war. In 1967, two Royal air force pilots sat in it, and while driving back, they crashed into a tree and died. A few years later, two brick layers decided to try it, and that afternoon, the one who sat in it fell to his death. The cursed chair apparently "killed" every person who sat in it, no matter what. Some instances also include a roofer who sat in it died after the roof he was working on collapsed, and a cleaning woman stumbled into it while mopping, and was later killed by a brain tumor. Eventually, the pub owner moved it into the basement, hoping that nobody would sit in it. However, onde day a delivery man was in the basement and sat in it. An hour later, he crashed his truck and died. After that death, the landlord asked the local museum to take it. To ensure nobody sat in it again, they hung the chair five freet from the ground.

And you? What do you think about grudges?  Do you think they exist or not ? 

FRIDAY THE 13TH

Friday the 13th is an American horror franchise that comprises twelve slasher films ( films that the principal plot is about a psychopat killer that kills his victims). The franchise mainly focuses on the fictional character Jason Voorhees, who drowned as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the camp staff. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be "cursed" and is the setting for a series of mass murders. Jason is featured in all of the films, as either the killer of the motivation for the killings. The original film was written by Victor Miller and was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham in 1980.

I started seeing this franchise last monday, somehow I knew that there was another classical horror film that I hadn't seen yet. Everything started when the new game inspired in this franchise launched off in 28th of May of 2017. When I saw the game and who was the main character I remembered this face, (classical hockey mask). After remembering this clasical horror character I proceded to watch from the beginning all those films.

At first I thought it wouldn't be that horrorific and indeed it wasn't , the only thing that I like in these movies  is the stealth and how silently kills the killer his foes, with such creativity in every single situation and moment. I do also mock of the dumbness of the victims in how they don't detect the killer on first sight.

For me, for now, I like the plot of the film but sometimes I ask myself why the hell he keeps returning from Death, after he got brutally axed in the head, hanged and even made his brain soup by a machete. It's just surreal, but I believe there is a grudge that keeps him alive forever, eventually one day someone will free him from his grudge and send him to Hell once and for all. 

IS THERE A POSSIBILITY OF A GLOBAL EXTINCTION OF HUMANITY BY A BIO-WEAPON?

Nowadays, the Science has made a lot of new progress in technological terms, biology in special.
We found a lot of secrets  about our lives and in general manipulation of cells, bacteria, virus.... that were buried until now.

The requirements of a Bio Weapon to be effective are:

-Have a high mortality and infectiousness.
- Be less noticeable and less propense to have a cure.
-A pathogen that has the ability to mutate a lot of times in a very shor period of time.
- It must be a fast killer that after killing the infected disappears without leaving evidence behind.

Those requirements in present days can be asequible through biotechnology , manipulation of the DNA of viruses/bacterias or even Prions ( complex proteins that are hard to notice and cause a lot of damage by accumulation in cells). For example, if we chose Ebola for the base of our pathogen, and we then introduce Yersinia Pestis's DNA , Grip A, and the common flu..... we could make a global pathogen that kills fast and spreads through air making more agressive this pathogen than it is.

I wouldn't doubt that one of the posible things that will end our world could be one of those Bio- Weapon created in underground high-security facilities. Accidentally taken out or on purpose.
