Newspaper article

In the Language class we wrote a newspaper article.

Do young people help the environment?

In language we had to write an essay on this statement : "Unfortunately, young people are not interested in helping the Environment."

Currently, the Environment is suffering a lot due to human acts. Global warming and pollution are increasing year after year; this is damaging us, likewise the whole planet. 

"Teenagers nowadays are not interested in protecting the environment". That's what many people think but I cannot support the view that all of them don't care about It. In fact Many adolescentes are part of helping organizations. Also adults take a really important role in polluting, specifically in air pollution when they use their cars.

I fully support the idea that if children are aware of the environmental protection, they'll care of it. However I strongly disagree with the fact that everyone talks about the topic but nobody does anything in order to solve it. In contrast there are Many organizations that help the environment, similar to the way Green Peace cooperates.

It isn't difficult to start helping nature, we can begin by sepearing the rubbish. Something it can indeed sound strange although it'a a good way of starting. I'm in agreement to start changing the world. What about you?

Life of Pi

In ELT with Alejandra Muslera we watched the movie "Life of Pi", then in language we wrote about a one of the main topics in the movie.

SURVIVAL

In the film "Life of Pi" survival is the main topic. He has to live the experience of facing the ocean after his ship sank due to a strong thunderstorm. He is on the boat. However, he's not alone, he is with one of the animals of his father's zoo, a tiger called Richard Parker.

Despite the boat is small and unsafe, it has a survival kit. In order to convive with Richard, he followed the instructions of the safety book. It's a difficult job because of the tiger's temper. As he is wild and he's roraring and snorling all daylong, it makes it impossible for Pi to survive. In addition, Pi also has to face strange climate conditions.

Although it is a terrible situation, he is very optimistic and he continues trying to train the tiger to survive.

Youseff's mother asked him:

Both thee mother's eyes an mouth were two bright and shiny stars in a calm and warm night. She didn't want to cry. Neverthless, she did so.

Ideas to improve your informal email

In Language we had to read about informal emails. And then, we made a chart summarising the text. Here I show you ours. I worked with Camila.

We also wrote an email. Here you have the one I did with Camila.

From: Sophie
To: Tom
Subject: Creating a blog.

Hi Tom,
Very well! And you? Well, I´m studying a lot. I´m very tired.

Yes! Of course I remember. I think the you want teenagers to read it, you should write about books, films, sports, soap operas and put on teenagers shoes. You can also write tips and pieces of advice at the time of studying.

Currently I´m workingt on an online newspaper, I do the design part. Sure!! I´ll help you with the design of the work. We can arrange a date and we talk through skype so I show you my ideas.

About the printer, I advice you to buy it in Garbarino. Things there are cheap and they´re good quality.

Good luck,
Sophie.

Tips to write an article

In the Language class we worked with the writing theory and practice of articles. We made two charts with tips to kown how to write it. Here you have them. I did them with Camila

We also wrote an article about learning foreign languages. I share you mine.

Now a days, is very common and necessary to learn a foreign language. Studying a new language brings many advantages in life.

There are many advantages when you know a different language. You can have the opportunity of working or studying abroad, you can communicate  with people from other countries, such as going to the super market while you are travelling in another country.

Other advantages that can help you if you study, travel, work or live in another country is that you are abel to do everything you want in your daily life without any difficulty. You can understand the country's cultures, traditions and signs. This makes your life, travel, etc easier and enjoyable. 

Althought is not easy, to learn a second language is very helpful. Would you try it?

We searched on the internet an article we thought it was interesting. We read it and we wrote a summary. Here you have my article and the summary I did.

This is an article from the online newspaper called Herald. 

The article is about a blind dog, who lived in Alaska,  and got lost in Febraury 6th when the temprature dipped to 40 degrees below 0. It also says what his owner expected to find or do if someone find it.

Luckily after two weeks the dog was found alive. So, the owner rewarded the man who did it and he is now happy at home with his dog.

The article also mentions another case of a blind dog lost and it's happy ending.
