My oral presentation

In my oral presentation I was very nervious, and it wasn't as good as I had prepared.
Also, I think that it is most difficult to do the oral exposition alone than with friends.
I saw on the video that I read quite a lot read, but less than the previous oral. My pronunciation I thought that part, after the presentation I thought that my pronunciation wasn't bad, but I saw on the video that it was.
I'm very happy because it lasted five minutes, and it was thanks to the information because I had a lot about Ireland.
Referring to the power-point I think that there were too many words and not many images.
However, I think that I deserve to pass because I have improved since my previous oral presentation.

Fashion

Actually, I think that fashion is very important for people especial young people. Fashion has always been important but now it's different. For example, before people wore differentclothes and hair styles that young people don't wear nowadays. I like going to buy clothes very much. Always I go to Figueras or Girona; I usually go to the shops Zara, Stradivarius, Bershka... I don't think t is necesary for people to buy designer label clothes, I think that if you likesomething you should buy it.
I have some designer label clothes, but most of the clothes I buy are from normal shops.
Also, I think that some people follow the fashion too much.
When I go shopping what I like most are handbag, jeans and T-shirts. But I is very difficult
to find high heels because I take a very small size. I also like earnings and necklaces but I
don't go especially to Figueras to buy them.
Finally, I like people for what they are like inside, not for exterior appearance.

MELENDI

My favourite singer is Melendi Espina, he was born on January 21, 1979 in Oviedo, Asturias.

Fear and silence in Chechnya

The bombing deafens the Civilian population that hides wherever it can. It is the first wave of fear.


When the projectiles finally cease, the next wave arrives. It is the din of tanks breaking the liberating silence that followed the bombing. They say that they are looking for terrorists.


All the men are rounded up and taken outside the town. For example, in abandoned ware house, have set up detention areas that they call " filtration points".
The troops have installed them selves in the houses devoid of the men folk. If it were to become know that they had been with the soliders.
It did so ten years ago and it continues to do so today in Chechnya.
The police officiers sont to investigate emerge white as sheets.

I have got a sister. Her name is Xènia, she is twenty years old and she is studying Industrial Engineering university, Xènia is very intelligent.

My sister is short, brown-eyed and she's got long blond hair. Xènia is very attractive.
