Angelina Jolie, a humanitarian diva

My second speech was about the huanitarian actions that Angelina Jolie has done through her carrer along with Brad Pitt and their foundation Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation. At first I didn´t know who to choose, but then Andrea said that she was going to talk about Demi Lovato, then I knew that I didn't have to talk exactly about someone historical, that I could talk about an artist. That's how I chose Angelina Jolie.

I learned a lot of things about her and her foundation, also about her children. But I think the most important thing I learned was that there are still good people, even those we think are divas.

My experience as a new fish


This first month has been a whole new experience in my life. Not only in English class, but also in all the other things I’m involved in. We are in the partials week and everyone has been so stressed since we had lot of events last week and now all we have to do is study for partials. I did very well on my first English exam, better than I expected.

I have liked this class so far because it’s not like all the other English classes I have had, here we do a lot of new activities. I think another important thing I’ve liked in this class is that the writing we do can help us to practice for other situations we may have in the future. I believe I am good at writing because I have solid bases in grammar and that’s what helps me a lot in my essays, and in this case also in my partial exam.

I hope we keep doing new activities in order to keep the class as dynamic as now. I also hope to get better in public speaking in the next months and obviously get good grades. My experience has been amazing since I entered here, since the excellent teachers I have until the very special friends I’ve made.

The UN and its role in the world

Yesterday we had our first group speech. I don't know exactly how long it was but I felt it lasted for about 10 minutes, which is good because it was the estimated time to get a good grade. We we´re preparing it since last week and we decided to talk about the UN.

We believe that right now the UN has a very important role in the world, mainly because the situation in Syria. Therefore, we thought it was relevant to inform a little our classmates about the actions and decisions that this organization has to make.

Finally, I think we couldn't say everything about this huge organization and its role, but we wanted to set the importance of relations between the UN and the world. I hope we were fine as we did in the outline.
