HARLEM SHAKE

Have you heard about the new trend on the internet? It's called Harlem Shake and consists about a short video of 30 seconds. In the first 15 seconds we see some people doing a normal and routinary thing, but one of these people is dancing or doing a strange movement. Then, suddenly, the scene changes and everyone starts doing crazy and strange dancings. 

I just discovered it two days ago, and when I first saw it I thougt: Oh my god! The world has become mad!

And it looks like it's an imminent revolution, just like Gangnam Style. However, I think it's funny, a bit stupid too but... who cares! We need humor in our lives. Here's a compilation I've just found, so judge yourself:

Beyoncé angry with H & M to use photoshop in her campaign photos.

The international singer insisted to the brand that used natural images.

Beyoncé is one of the most desired singers of the moment, she is aware of it and does not want to lie to her followers with images that distort reality, although in many occasions this can be much harsher than reality ...

Apparently, according to British newspaper 'The Sun', the singer had established that the entire 2013 summer campaign H & M, which it's image, was real and natural pictures. Condition that the Swedish brand tried not meet until the diva and her agents refused point blank to give the green light to snapshots, so eventually they were forced to use the originals.

The British newspaper claims to have talked to a spokesperson for the brand and has finally confirmed that the published photos are not manipulated. "Beyoncé and H & M are happy with the end result," said the same source.

Anyway, the end result of Beyonce in this campaign is sweeping and, if this were true, the singer has proved to have much more personality already commented that she possessed.

OPINION ESSAY: Mobile phones at school

Mobile phones at school

Nowadays more and more students bring their mobile phones to school. While I believe that students should carry mobile phones in case of an emergency, I am strongly opposed to phones being used at school, particularly in the classroom.

Firstly, many students travel to and from school without their parents. Therefore, it is important for them to have a mobile phone in case they need help or have an accident on the way to school or home.

Furthermore, parents who work may need to contact their children. For example, if a parent has to work late, the student has to be told if arrangements have been made for a relative or neighbour to look after them.

On the other hand, nothing is more disruptive during a lesson than the sound of a mobile phone ringing or playing an annoying tune. Moreover, students who send and receive text messages in class are not paying attention to the lesson.

In conclusion, I feel that students should be allowed to take mobile phones to school for use in an emergency. However, all phones  certainly be turned off during lessons.

ORAL PRESENTATION: DISCRIMINATION

This term I did my oral presentation with Xènia. We had to do a oral presentation about a social topic, and we choose the discrimination. Now, I will say, what I think of my oral presentation.

I start with the Presentation, we used a powerpoint, and I think that it was a very good power point. The power point, had very good images and all the images were relationated with the social topic, discrimination.

Referring to Body Language.  I think that it was a good social topic and we are explain so good.

As the presentation was about discrimination, the Structure. We explain the definition, the typs of discrimination and finaly we explains our conclusions and what have to do, if we want to finish with discrimination.

The Content I think that it was short, but we explains the better part of our social topic.

As for the Language, the grammar was correct.

And the Pronunciation was comprehensible I think, but I was so nervous because some times I don't find words to explain something that appeared in my mind at the moment. 

Finally, my oral presentation to show you the work that could has be much better:
