LACK OF IMPLICATION

Image
  Hi everyone! This week I’m going to get a bit serious because I want to talk you about an essential problem in the world, Lack of implication. This is the main problem in the world, people don't get involved in issues and, as a result, world is changing badly. One of these problems is Poverty and Inequality. This one splits in 4 goals:  Good health and well-being, quality education, no poverty and green jobs. Good health and well-being is probably the most important one. Over the last 15 years the number of childhood deaths has been cut in half. This proves that it is possible to win the fight against almost every disease, we just have to want it. This goal promotes healthy lifestyles preventive, measures and efficient healthcare for everyone. The next topic is quite interesting, we're talking about quality education. Education leads Intellect, unlocks imagination and is fundamental for self-respect, and confidence. It's the key to progress. We must promote quality educat

WHOSE BIOGRAPHY WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ ABOUT?

Hello everybody and welcome to the blog!  This week we’ll talk about biographies, how are they made and we’ll also see some important people's biographies. In the first place, a biography must start with an opening, where we get to know about person’s life, birth place, childhood and adulthood, age, etc. Then we talk about important facts and relevant discoveries and events. Finally we can add an ending where we make a general conclusion of the facts we've talked about. I really think that biographies are essential to learn about our history and recognise the people who’ve changed the world.  Personally, I would like to read about the Wright brothers, who invented the plane, Nikola Tesla, with the Three-phase engine, Edison, with the light bulb, the cinema, the phonograph… and plenty of other inventions that created today's world. Let me know what biography would you like to read about in the comments! See you next week!

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

  Hello everybody and welcome again!  This week we’ll discuss a really relevant topic in my opinion. Is the educational system well organized? Nowadays, people must study until 16, after completing secondary school, then they choose their own way, or that's what it is supposed to be. In reality, if you want to go to university, you must get through baccalaureate, where you will compete against other students in order to get a place in your career. The problem comes when you’ve to spend plenty of time on subjects that you’re not really interested in and are useless for your career. It’s very simple, there are lots of people that could be magnificent medics, engineers or politicians, but because of the time they’re wasting on these subjects, they can not focus on the ones that are essential for their future.  They are also suffering from work exploitation, let me explain. Most of the students wake up at 6.30, they go to school from 8.15 to 14.45, then they come home, have a meal and

GLOBAL WARMING AND POLLUTION

Image
  Hello everybody and welcome again! Today I’m introducing a new section, it’s called “World problems”. In this section we will talk about many actual problems, analyzing them and proposing possible solutions. First of all, we will talk about Global warming and Pollution. These two problems go together, light, water and air pollution affect global warming as a result of a change in atmosphere’s behavior. Global warming is probably the most dangerous problem and if it keeps going like that the heat will start melting the ice caps, raising the sea levels and flooding many continents. We must do something to stop this and we must do it now! If we think we can find plenty of solutions, for example recycling, using green transport and work with green energy in order to avoid the pollution and global warming levels. It is a community task, little movements can make a big change. I hope you join the cause. We must save our planet, if we don't, where will we leave?

DISCUSSION

Hi everybody and welcome again! Today I’ll show you how to organise and plan a debate, sharing with you many useful tips that you can use in your discussions. First of all, you must search for information that will reinforce your arguments but you shouldn’t only search for your topic information, let me explain. If you also explore the opposite part in order to know about your rival arguments you will have weapons against them. During the discussion you must respect the turn. If you don’t do it, you’ll be kicked out of the debate. You should also use a formal register and respect your opponent. Finally, I really recommend you to structure your ideas from least to most important. In this way your last word will be your heaviest argument and will let them thinking. Let me know if you found these tips helpful! See you next week!

HOW TO MAKE A NARRATION

Image
Hello everybody and welcome again! This week I’ll show you how to make a narrative, his structure and many tips that you might find helpful. Let’s start with the structure. In a narrative we can find three different parts: Introduction, Heart and Ending. In the introduction we present the characters, the place and the time where the act takes part. It is also important to introduce the plot soon and make it as interesting and mysterious as you can in order to create expectation. The heart is the part where you must develop the plot, creating thrilling situations. Here you should also develop the characters changing their way of thinking and behaviour while the plot progresses. Finally, in the ending you must solve the plot and choose between an open ending, if you want to continue the story in a following chapter, or a close ending, to completely close the plot. I hope you found this post helpful. See you next week!
