EXTREME SPORTS

Extreme sports are all the activities or disciplines that due to special or particular situations as risk or the difficulty for realize them, consider extremes or dangerous.

There a lot of sports that imply one dose of physical demand and above everything mental. For prepare your body it needs a big concentration because are sports where it depends your physical integrity in every moment.

In the group of the extreme sports there are a lot, but the extreme sport that attracts my attention is the skydiving.
Actually, when I am eighteen, I want to do skydiving because I like to see the world from the sky and I want to feel as a bird.
My father has done skydiving, bungee jumping, parachute, etc. and he recommends me to do skydiving because is an unique and special experience.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VACCINATION

The vaccines are medicines that, applied to healthy people through an injection or orally, generate defences protecting our body, avoiding the infection or the illness.

The vaccination of the villages has afforded that a lot of illness that they caused epidemics in the antiquity, practically they have disappeared.

Is very important that all the people are vaccinated, because if there is only one person isn't vaccinated can cause illness to other people.

Nowadays, there are sixteen vaccines in the National Vaccination Plan. We have to keep the certificate of vaccinations, because is a personal document very important that it guarantees to be correctly immunized.

The final note of my oral presentation is an eight point twenty-five.
I think that sometimes, when I am nervous, I read a little my piece of paper and I know the best is look the public because you transmits confidence to them.
My English and my pronunciation I think aren't bad but I have to improve it, because sometimes is difficult for me maintain a conversation in English, also because I am not used to speak in English.
I think it has been one of the best presentations I have done, because with this group it has been a pleasure work with them and we have had a lot of creativity and courage for do this moving topic and presentation (the poverty).

Lord Jim

An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past.

Jim, a young British seaman, becomes first mate on the Patna, a ship full of pilgrims travelling to Mecca for the hajj. When the ship starts rapidly taking on water and disaster seems imminent, Jim joins his captain and other crew members in abandoning the ship and its passengers. A few days later, they are picked up by a British ship. However, the Patna and its passengers are later also saved, and the reprehensible actions of the crew are exposed. The other participants evade the judicial court of inquiry, leaving Jim to the court alone. The court strips him of his navigation command certificate for his dereliction of duty. Jim is angry with himself, both for his moment of weakness, and for missing an opportunity to be a 'hero'.

My star rating is **good, entertaining.

THE RECYCLING

The society of today is very consumer and therefore, we change with a lot of facility the things we use. In fact, the manufacturers create products of less durability, and all of that, produce a big problem: What do we do with all of this waste?
Is when appears the recycling, although we are more convinced to this, still we lack media and more education for do it.

One of the examples more sad and more visible is the fire of the biggest dumping site of tyres of Europe, in Toledo, Spain.
A fire that it had to be avoided, because the authorities knew this big risk. Now the justice would have to do his duty and punish the responsible, because to all of users collect us a tax for this recycling, besides that we have to pay the consequences of this bad management.

Dear Sir or Madam

We are writing because we have queries about the programme called Helping the people of Africa in which we will be volunteering.

First of all, would it be possible for us to find more information about the time table and the accommodation?

Secondly, could you let me know what we need and the vaccines that we have to get before going there?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Mr. Guillem Palomeras
