Extra film review

HOME

The truth is when the teacher told us that we’ll see a documentary I felt like saying: what are you talking about? But the idea got worse when she said that the documentary talked about the climate change.  I just thought, another documentary of this theme?, no please, I have been watching lots of videos about the same topic.  Now, after watching it, I have to stop speaking about it because my idea of the documentary was wrong.

 

Home is an interesting and astonishing documentary through which you really realise that we are doing something wrong with our planet and we have to take conscience on how to improve the Earth.  Home is very emotional because it gives us a message to think about it. This message is associated with the problems of the climate change and the consequences that it brings.

Also, the video shows us how the world was and how it is now. This difference is so huge and it impacted me because we are responsible for what is happenning right now.

In conclusion, I liked watching it but I think it was too long and most of the things that it says we knew before. Although I enjoyed it and made me think about all the things we do wrong.

Extra your-say

In this post I want to talk about my birthday present. My birthday was in November but I’m going to enjoy it now because of the weather. Some of my parents’ friends gave me that present eight months ago. You might ask what kind of gift is it, so I am going to answer you your question right now. This week I’m going to jump in parachute in Empuriabrava.  I’m so excited.

I will enjoy it with my friends Ona and Irene who also have the same opportunity as me.  We will celebrate the end of the scho
ol together. It will be fantastic. I’m counting the days left for the jump.

Arguably one of the most heated debates in science, Alla Katsnelson explores the many issues behind efforts to reduce the number of animals used in studies.

One of the most contentious issues in science is the use of animals in research. Because are many people against the use of animals in research but they are necessary to investigate new treatments. Scientists experiment on animals for a host of different reasons, including basic research to explore how organisms function, investigating potential treatments for human disease, and safety and quality control testing of drugs, devices and other products. There is a long list of medical advances made possible with the help of animal research. Opponents believe it is cruel and meaningless, as observations in animals often do not translate directly to humans.

The truth is that around 29 million animals per year are currently used in experiments in the US and European Union countries. The 80% of these animals are Rats and mice.  

Some believe technological advances will one day make animal studies unnecessary, while others argue that “non-living” models will never be capable of reliably replicating all of the uses of laboratory mice and other creatures.

Capable: capaç

Meaningles: sense sentit

 

Nowadays this issue is very problematic and is delicate because there are people against and also in favor, so it causes a dispute. The main issue is that the humans use animals to do experiments and that's not fair because we hurt them just to improve our life. Moreover we take away their freedom for then killing them.

But the truth is that we need them to explore how organisms function, investigating potential treatments for human disease, and safety and quality control testing of drugs, devices and other products. So they are necessary to us but in my opinion we use the animal for our benefit and we don’t respect them as they deserve.

Final evaluation

In these two last years I have improved my English, especially this year in batxillerat. The best activity which shows our level of English is the oral presentation. In my opinion the oral presentation is more useful than the other activities because we can improve our pronunciation. Moreover, this year we have learnt a lot of new vocabulary in the language room.

For the next year, I would like to do again the blog, the oral presentations, some listening and writings in class.

 All in all, I want to say that I really like the English class because we have fun, I enjoy it, it isn’t stressful and of course is useful learning English at school for our future.

Opinion essay

We have almost learnt to respect the Word

Nowadays we live in a world where the pollution rises every day. The problem began when the human built all the industry and destroyed the forests. All depends on us. We have almost learnt to respect the world. I agree with the sentence in the earth so we have to respect it.

Firstly, we have to consider that we, humans, are the ones who destroy the world. It is important to accept that because there are people who think that they haven’t done anything to destroy our world and they are wrong.

Secondly, we have to reduce, reuse and recycle in our house and at the school because it is also important. We have to do little things to improve the situation of the world.

In conclusion, we have to cut down the pollution if we want to live in nice conditions in the future. Also is important that every person in the world help to do it. The children have to be educated to fight against the pollution because they are the future of the world. Moreover, we have to support all the organizations because they act for good causes. It all depends on us.
