This was by far the best oral presentation I ever did. I have chosen this one out of the other ones because this is the presentation I did about my research project and of course, after 9 months of studying the same topic, you kind of start to be a specialist on that subject. This is specifically the best presentation because I knew that on that subject I was the one that understood more that area. I had it well prepared because I had to already do it once before so I knew it by memory and finally I would like to say that I really liked that presentation because for me it’s one of the most interesting topics to talk about.

I have personally chosen this composition out of the others not because it’s the best writing I have ever done, but because it’s like an ordered global opinion about all the subjects I’ve been studying during College. It was an important composition for me because that established what I wanted to do for sure in the future, after College; Biology. I analyzed all of the subjects and that made me realize what I really desired, so this was a very important step for me!
Well, this is the end for me! I’ve done my work... Now I’ll go ahead with my life and live it to the full!
It has been a pleasure!

My English progress from 2008-2010
- Compare your first written document and your last composition:
Well in my case, I feel that I can’t really see a big difference between my first and last composition because when I started last year, I feel that I already had a good level of English, but of course I have improved in some things. I used to take longer to write before because I really didn’t know how to start or follow sentences the way I wanted to but thanks to all of the compositions I have had to do, I have been able to gain experience that has helped me to bust my confidence when I wrote down. Secondly, I think that the connectors we have used this year have really helped me to improve my writing skills and I do try to use them as often as possible. I think that they’re great! Someone that uses connectors really impresses other people and shows them that they know how to handle that language very well!
- Compare your first oral presentation and your final oral presentation:
In this case I can see a great difference! It was just dreadful to watch my first oral presentation video. First of all, let’s start with the negatives of my 1st oral and then try to see the improvement and development that has been happening until now. Firstly, I was so nervous and shaking like a leaf, I would not dear to look at my class mates and I would only look at the teacher every now and again... I was very nervous so my voice used to tremble and my hand movements weren’t very convincing. Secondly, my language was ok but I did not use connectors. The words I used were standard and I could of used better and more technical words, but I was scared because I wanted everybody to understand what I was saying. Finally, the presentation with the PowerPoint was good but I have been improving because its use has become very frequent. On the one hand, I can say that this past has helped me to boost my confidence right up! I’m not that nervous anymore, I do make good gestures and eye contact, I use adequate words and connectors... I have achieved a lot of good stuff and ideas! This has prepared me for future orals, job interviews... I’m very pleased!

NEWS!
Oil slick hits Chandeleur Islands off Louisiana Summary Oil has been leaking unstopped for 18 days from the well, 50 miles (80km) off Louisiana, since an explosion destroyed the Deepwater Horizon rig, operated by Transocean. But now, the oil from the Gulf of Mexico has started washing ashore on an island chain off the coast of Louisiana where pelicans and other birds covered in oil have now been found. Opinion In my opinion, this is a bad disaster because this means that another ecosystem is being destroyed because of our thoughtless thinking. Animals and plants is what gives our planet the greatness that it has or that it once had not so long ago. I know that our generation is now looking after and being careful with what they do to their habitat but I think that the damage has already been done from previous generations. We will try to succeed to save the planet that we have destroyed but the life of many generations to come is not certain. We hope that we find the way and the technology to save our planet. 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8666276.stm New blood fat heart disease link Summary A type of blood fat different from cholesterol may play a key role in heart disease, a study suggests. Researchers looked at the role of triglycerides, which is produced in the liver and derived from foods such as meat and dairy products. The analysis of 350,000 people from 101 previous studies found those with higher levels of the blood fat were more likely to have heart disease. Opinion I can’t help to think that the main reason of the destruction of our planet is because of technology but on the on hand, technology can be in many cases a life saving use, as long as we use technology for good there’s no harm done. Technology can save our loved ones, discover new illnesses and cure them. Technology in the right hands is a remarkable object, an object that only humans can use because we’re the creators.
