My oral exposition.

My exposition didn’t go very well, first because marina didn’t come, and she didn’t tell me that she wasn’t coming so I couldn’t prepare her part before the exposition and I had to read it and it didn’t look very good.
I was very nervous after that and my bit didn’t go as planned either. Anna was in charge of the power point and she wasn’t concentrating and didn’t show it when she had to.
I didn’t have the conclusion either, Marina did and because she wasn’t there I couldn’t say any conclusion.
It’s a good job I did the power point right and put in lots of photos so that the people wouldn’t have to listen to much to what I was saying.
Now I know that next time I will do the exposition on my own and if I do it with someone I will prepare there part as well as my own.

Jesen Button.

ensen Button won the Turkish GP in istanbul, which is the capital of Turkey, this win was his sixth win in seven races, he is very close now to winning the world title

There were various mistakes from diferent drivers which helped button to victory, one was from Rubens Barrichelo when he stalled on the line from third place on the grip and got sent back to thirtenthm, the other was from Sebastian Vettel, he was in pole position until a fault in his car let Jensen pass him
this win was his fourth in a row for jensen, this has only ever been achieved by a british driven once in 1992 by Nigel Mansell.
Button is 26 point ahead of Barrichello now, and it does¡nt look like anybody will catch him this year. Some of the other drivers were already talking about next year.

Only five times in Formula One's 60-year history has any driver won six out of the first seven races; Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark and the most famoud driver of them all Michael Schumacher, he did it twice.

My oral exposition.

Statistics:
• Anorexia is the third most common chronic illness among adolescents.
• 40 – 60% of high school girls diet.
• 50% of girls between the ages of 13 and 15 believe they are overweight.
• 80% of 13 year old girls have dieted.
• 40% of 9 year old girls dieted.

CAUSES:
• Family - When an individual is raised in a highly critical, abusive or dysfunctional family, the propensity for the development of anorexia is heightened. In some cases, anorexia can develop from an individual feeling smothered, abandoned, misunderstood or abused by family members. In addition, children raised in families where physical appearance is overemphasized are placed at significant risk of developing an eating disorder.
• Society - Our culture places a tremendous amount of criticism on people who are not considered "thin." From underweight celebrities on television or in magazines to the barrage of advertising featuring thin people, young Americans are force-fed the belief that to be thin is to be successful and happy.
• Genetics - Science has found that some people may be predisposed to anorexia. When a family member has anorexia, there is a high probability that another family member will also develop it.
• Personality Traits - A combination of certain personality traits has been found to increase the chances of developing anorexia. These can include perfectionism, low self-esteem or a negative self-image



•

signs of anorexia :

A person with anorexia will have many of these signs::
• Looks a lot thinner

• weighs food and counts calories
• moves food around the plate; doesn't eat it
• Has a distorted body image
• thinks she's fat when she's too thin
• wears baggy clothes to hide appearance
• fears gaining weight
• weighs herself many times a day
• Acts differently
• talks about weight and food all the time
• won't eat in front of others
• acts moody or depressed





Treatment:

Anorexia treatment centers are facilities designed with one function in mind - helping those with eating disorders overcome their diseases. A quality program will include at minimum:
• Physicians, psychologists and nutritional counselors specifically trained in dealing with anorexia nervosa
• A family therapy and support component
• Individualized care
• Group therapy
• Trauma-resolution therapy
• Specialized psychiatric care
• Medical attention capabilities

Aftercare support program

Airfrance plane dissapeared.

An airfrance plane, travelling from Brazil with 216 passagers and 12 crew, dissapeared from the radar screen.
The plane expected in paris at the 11:10 a.m.
The people who worked in the airport was very worried, because the plane dissapeared from the radar screen hours ago.
This kind of fault is very rare.

The control lost contact with the plane when it took off
from Rio de Janeiro.

Airport authorities have set up a "crisis cell" at the Paris airport.

Finally the plane scheduled to arrive in paris at 5:15 a.m.

Polution.

I think we should care more for our environment.

First of all, for our future children, because the atmosphere will be polluted and the people are going to get ill and they won't live many years. The cancer and other deseases will be frequent and the women will have more dificulties much more have babies.
It's a very important problem for everybody on this planet.

Nobody is really aware os this problem. In fact, it's a problem of selfishness, the people think that this will be solved itself in the future. It's a way of hiding the truth.
So the rich countries find good reasons to go on and make people believe they do their lest to protect the environment, in fact, they go on producing too much, the people consume too much.
Everybody something else is created and the people think they must have more and more, otherwoise they get unsatisfied.

They are completely inesposible because they don't care about the future generations and the whole planet. The Earth won't be able to afford more and perhaps on day, human beings will disappear like other species did in the past.

The balance sheet of the victims of the storm considerably grew heavy on Saturday, January 24th in Spain, with the collapse of the roof of a sports installation. Between 20 and 30 young people were in the room of Sant Boi de Llobregat's baseball, next to Barcelona, at the time of the incident.
There would be at least three deaths, according to a Spokeswoman of regional government of Catalonia and the Spanish media.
Since friday, Spain was hardly affected by the storm coming from the Atlantic Ocean. We record already two deaths in two separate incidents.

A belgian young man who is 20 years old, he charged for a murder of two babies and one woman. At this present time, this young man seated on warder.
Last friday, a man introduced in a day-nursery and he killed two babies and one pediatric nurse. He hurted ten other babies and the other two pediatric nurse before he escaped.
The police found him in his home not much later on.
The justice however revealed on Saturday that the young man has prepared himself to commit a real slaughter, with three knives, a hatchet and, under his clothes, a bulletproof vest.
The motives of this triple murder remain mysterious, because the young man did not talk yet to the policemen.
"He declared nothing ", said the prosecutor, who didn't want to reveal his identity.

The police supposed that this young man was inspired by the character of "Joker" in the last film Batman.

Formal letter

Castelló d'empúries


Dear Madam,

I would like to express myself about a problem, some of us are wishing to solve.

The point is that we do not have a secure place to let our motorbikes. In front of the school, there is in fact a place, but as I already said it is not a secure one.

So, we dare not coming to school with our motorbikes, because some of us had their motorbikes damaged or even stolen.

We suggest, for instance, that either there is some supervisor, either the place could be locked by any kind of way. We would be very grateful if you could mention this suggestion to your next meeting and see any solution.

Our parents would be very happy as well, as lot of them has to bring us to school every morning and to come back at the end of the course.

I thank you for reading my letter,

Yours respectually,



Lauren MAURETTE
