TASK #14: My apraisal of the English class

END OF YEAR 2016/2017 WRITING TASK

TASK #14
TITLE: My apraisal of the English class
DEADLINE: 21 June at 10.00 pm

INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE, WRITE a critical commentary of the English class. Say what you liked and also what you consider could be different and/or better/more useful. PLEASE, feel free to comment on the English teacher too: his communication style, the way he gives instructions or explain things, etc.

UPLOAD the text on your blog.

First of all I would like to say that I liked this year according with the English class.
I liked how we were not just doing vocabulary or grammar activities and we do other activities like videos or we just discuss avout any topic, but in addition to this, I would say that we waste a lot of time on useless activities that dont help us on the unit like the activities of introduction of any unit.
The different activities of Christmas, Halloween and Easter are really nice because they help us to dont be so frustated with the examns on these dates.
I think we must speak mostly of the time of class on english and stop speaking spanish unless if we dont know something. With this I would like to remove the voice recording because I think is worthless doing it if the teacher can hear us on class. The blog is a nice idea but I think that we can use it or maybe Google Drive as a way of sharing file from the teacher to help us on the activities about the unit.
What i can say about the teacher is that he made the class really enjoyable, but maybe too enjoyable that some students dont the the correct things and I think that he must make the class enjoyable but always with care about these students.
In general I liked this year of the English class.

TASK #13 Unit test 7 Speaking task


TASK #13
TITLE: Unit test 7 Speaking task
DEADLINE: 2 June at 10.00 pm

INSTRUCTIONS: WRITE an essay following the instructions below. Then UPLOAD it on your blog and RECORD it and send it to my email address miguelgarciaarreza@gmail.com

PLEASE, change the title to 1Bachtask#13namesurname


Topic:
The World's economy can only keep growing if more and more stuff is produced and sold. The planet's resources are limited and the damage inflicted upon nature may be irreparable. Knowing this, in your opinion, what could an ethical shopper do realistically? Would you do what you say can be done?


(Make your essay at least 120 words long.)

It is a hard topic to talk about because we cant just stop buying things, but if we continue buying with this speed we will destroy the planet, something that its just not factible for us. 
Many people think that they can buy anything because they wont see the further future of our planet, what i think is a selfish position.
What I propose to do, is just buy what we need, i mean if someone can live with just 4 jeans, why should he buy more than what they need to live? its just as easy as that, with that issue we help our planer of not being destroyed and in addition we save up money, so i think this is the decision that everyone must take, if everyone do that, i think we could slow down this process of waste of resources.

After due consideration to the issue proposed by the teacher, this is what I have found and what I intend to do in the future: I will use the stairs instead use the lift because its a waste of energy, i wont go on car if its not neccesary because the car pollute the environment, I will take a shower but i will stay 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes to reduce the waste of water.
I think i could turn off the light and the TV when im no using them or im not in the room.
I should turn off the computer at nights because its a huge waste of energy.
I think that if everyone change these little things we can change the world reducing our personal footprint, because planet Earth there is only one and there isnt more options.
