MY SUMMER JOB

My aim is to pass the baccalaureate and study some degree related to business. I would like to rent a flat with my friends, too. I would like to study in Barcelona.  I have to work every summer because I need money to accomplish my objective. This year I started to work very early. I began in Abril.  I was studying and working in the same time. It was difficult but I can survive thanks to my organization.

I worked in a souvenir shop. In this shop there are a lot of things. In one hand there are a part of souvenirs and on the another hand there are a part of knives, guns and fusils of decoration.  

I was shop assistent, so I had to talk with all the clients. The majority of them were from french, holland, germany,etc. So I had to speck the most of time in french or in english. I improved very well both language. 

LETTRE

Hello teacher,

I am writing because I want to tell you about my objective. I set my own goals when I was 14 years old. My aim is to pass the baccalaureate and study some degree related to business. I would like to rent a flat with my friends, too. I will never give up until I get these goals. This year I am so focused in the studies to earn good grades and pass university entrance exam. The bills in the university are so expensive but if I am lucky I can get a scholarship to accomplish my objective. 

No one`s written my destiny for me so I never thought of dropping out of  the school because it is essential to get a good job. I don't want let my parents, my family and my teachers down so I hope to accomplish my own goals.

Best wishes!

Joke

Your body language shapes who you are

I really was interested with this video because on one hand I like very much psychological matters and on the another hand I was thought to do my research work from this theme. 

I saw all the video in english and I understood the most of it. I was feeling very satisfied. I think that I improved my english in summer.

Well, leaving aside this topic I want to tell my opinion of this viedeo. The topic of this video is the lenguaje no verbal, there is the body language. I was agree with her when she said that our body language shapes who you are. When we feel happy we smile, when we feel powerful we expand our arms and we lift our head...

But I was disagree when she tell that we can change in two minutes. I think that it is impossible. Maybe it is possible in some weeks but no in two minutes.

PPT

We had to do a presentation of global issues. I chose syrian refugees. It is the most important problems in the world and we have to search a solution. I chose this issue because when I see the refugees in the TV, it affect me.

On one hand, in the presentation I don't was very nervous but I forgot some things. That is,in some parts of the presentation, I had to improvise. For exemple when I had to talck about the picture. I did a mistake, I said very much "aah".

On the another hand I want to comment the body language. In the presentation I look to the public all the time and I have gesticulate when it was necessary. I thing that this aspect help me in the time for take a mark.

Another important thing I want to comment is the content of the presentation. I think that I talked about a good content.
