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.

In Hermosillo , Mexico,On saturday a fire killed at least thirty eight children in a day care center called ABC, but not from the fire, most of them died from inhailing toxic smoke, twenty three of them are in diferent hospitals all over mexico, depending on there state and fifteen of them in critical condition. The president went there to meet woth some health officials to talk about the incident and to try anf find out what has happened. The cause of the fire is not yet known, but we have been informed that the fire did not start inside the day care center but outside.
Some adults were injured in the incident aswell, the president has told investigators to work hard, he want to find out who, or what caused this fire that killed so many people, and was so intense that it ever made the roof collapse.

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

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

• won't eat in front of others
• acts moody or depressed

• Physicians, psychologists and nutritional counselors specifically trained in dealing with anorexia nervosa

• Individualized care
• Group therapy
• Trauma-resolution therapy
• Specialized psychiatric care

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.
