Abortion law

An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death.
In Spain the miscarry (abort) results a little bit difficult, and a lot of young people protest for a new abortion law to consist of liberal abortion, that is to say (és a dir), all people can abort without any prohibition. As well, this new law accept that the girls are 16 can miscarry their embryo.
Modern medicine utilizes medications and surgical procedures (tràmits) to induce abortion.

My oral comment

Well, Now I talk about our oral presentation.
When I’m doing this, I feel calmer than other expositions because the great majority was in London and for this there were few people in class. But in spite I’m very nervous, stressed and I have fear like always in my expositions on public.
So, in my first oral presentation last term, I think that it’s better because in this last, in the middle of the oral, Neus and I started to laugh with one slip because we must to do a little representation like TV news. In my opinion, it’s original because not of all do this and also is funny and spontaneous, but the inconvenient is that it isn’t very formal.

So…for this reason, I decide that in the next oral presentation I won’t do a theater representation because like this we’re starting to laugh and it’s difficult to concentrate again… I hope that like this my second oral presentation will be better.

oral presentation, london

Slide 1:
Hi guys! Let’s get started. Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
We are Neus and Marina as you know.
In this oral presentation we are going to talk about London.
We have prepared a different kind of exposition.
Why? Because all people, who have gone in London, have had the opportunity to record their oral presentation there.
That’s why we have had this idea. First of all, we will show you TV news, and then, a London documentary.

Slide 2:
Good morning! We’re TV37’ and my name is Neus Pagès. We have a last-minute news item /àitem/ in London. Marina Julià is there and she will tell us what is happening.
Marina, are you here?

Slide 3:
(…)
Well, we have an error /èra/ connection.
Oh, do we have an error?
Marina?
(…)
Let’s try again
Neus?
Now! Marina, can you tell us the Harrods’ news?

Slide 4:
Harrods is a department store located on London. It was established in 1834 and as you know, you can find expensive and cheap products there. Nowadays, there is a strong crisis economic what impact on stores. We can see an example in Harrods.
Last year, one of the most expensive dress, that you can find in Harrods, cost 3.000 pounds. This year, it costs 1.500 pounds, it’s incredible but a lot of Harrods’ products go down their valor.
In the other hand, the cheap products also go down their cost in Harrods, but in the exchange with other countries, the Harrods companies lose profit (benefici) because the pound is more expensive than euro and dollar, and the foreign companies prefer to buy the cheap products make outside the United Kingdom.
Nothing more to say.
Marina Julià, TV37’, London.

Slide 5:
Now, we’re going to tell you something about London:
London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has a recorded history that goes back over 2,000 years. During this time, it has grown to become one of the most significant cultural capitals of the world. A lot of schools go there to visit it.
London is so big; London is formed by a city and 32 districts. Nowadays, the city keeps the tradition of before. There you can see the big red bus, the black taxis...
It’s so well-known, for that reason, it has a lot of museums like: Madame Tussauds, Nation Gallery...
London has a metro, of course. The metro in London is also known as “the tube”. How do you spell tube? It’s “T-u-b-e”
We have focus in 2 important cultural places. The first is Westminster Abbey and , the second is Buckingham Palace.

Slide 6:
In my case, I’m going to explain you an important Gothic church in Westminster. First I want to describe a little bit this fabulous construction. In the middle of the two towers you can see a triangular construction typical of gothic. The meaning in Catalan is “gablet”. Also typical of gothic are the pinnacles, you can see in top of the towers. Finally the big windows predominate in all of the balding and for that the light in.

Also we know that English and British monarchs have been crowned in the Abbey since the coronations in 1066.
Nowadays is an important architecture to visit in London.

Slide 7:
First of all, Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell (CAMPANA) of the clock that you can see in the tower of Wedminster. The Tower is gothic like Wedminster Abbey, It measures 96, 3 miters.
It was created by Charles Barry time ago. It celebrates its 150th birthday this year. Nowadays, it’s an important tourist attraction.
Moreover, the clock has become a symbol of the United Kingdom and London. Every year, it’s in the Big Ben where the English people celebrated the New Year Eve.

Slide 8:
The last point in our documental is that. I’m going to tell you some interesting things about Buckingham Palace. It is the official London residence of the British monarch, Elisabeth II! It’s located in the City of Westminster, known as "The Queen's House.
Moreover is the major tourist attraction. Its history started in 1703. It was built for the Duke of Buckingham!
What’s more? The palace contains 77,000 square metres of floorspace. The principal rooms of the palace are contained on the piano nobile. The piano nobile is the principal floor where contains the most important reception and bedrooms of the house.

Slide 9:
Nothing more to say. We hope you like our oral presentation.
