OrAl PrEsEnTaTiOn
Good morning My name is Sergi. Today I want to speak to you about the village we live in Castelló d’Empúries and the bad reputation of teenagers in it. In Castelló teenagers have a bad reputation because they are always in the streets with scooters, motorbikes… This happens because people under 18 years old have nothing to go out at night, bad taxi and bus service, poor facilities… and everything leads to that people think badly of teenagers.
-Firstly, I talk a bit about Castelló d’Empúries:
-7000 people live in Castelló d’Empúries.
-There are 2 schools and 1 institute.
-32% of the people who live in Castelló d’Empúries are under 18 years old.
-What is there in Castelló for these young people?
Nothing
-What can these young people do in their free time?
-Secondly because of this people talk about the bad reputation of teenagers in Castelló:
-Many people complain about groups of adolescents in the streets, they complain about scooters and motorbikes.
-They complain about graffiti.
-Many people find teenagers frightening, threatening, trouble…
-What can we do in our free time?
Nothing
-What does Castelló have to keep us from the streets?
-Thirdly, the facilities Cstelló has for teenagers are very bored:
-We have pavelló and football pitch but these can not be used everyone, can only be used by teams.
-There are some bars, for example jr, but the majority of people in the bars are much older.
-There are some restaurants, for example “el portal de la Gallarda” but with prices we can not afford.
-Are we to stay at home and watch TV, play computers games or surf the internet?
-Next I am going to talk about the facilities teenagers needs:
-Swimming pool: palau and pau have pools and are smallers than Castelló, fewer people…
-Sports facilities: football, basketball, gym, handball…
-A pub, snack bar, disco: in Empuriabrava there more opportunities for young people to have fun, but there is not a good bus service or a cheap taxi service and go to Empuriabrava is very difficult.
-Then say the consequences if we do not provide alternative:
-Go at night with scooters in Empuriabrava: this is something that many accidents could lead.
-Adolescents using false identification
-Smoking
-Drinking alcohol This could be prevented if adolescents have good entertainment
-Taking drugs
Conclusions:
-In conclusion I think that Castelló needs more places and facilities for young people.
-I think Castelló needs to provide a regular and cheap transport system for adolescents.
-I think the young people here are bored and sometimes look for excitement where they should not and finally finish with a bad reputation.
THANK YOU.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
I think the note of my oral presentation is 8 because when I spoke I did not look at the paper, I looked at the audience. I used power point and the ideas on my power point had a good structure (firstly, secondly, next…), I think that the information in general of my presentation was interesting…
But when I was in front of the camera, the people, the teacher… I began to get very nervous and my pronunciation because I was speaking too fast, was not the standard I wanted.
I think that I gave people a lot of information about Castelló, from the view of adolescents- Castelló is a beautiful historic village but there are not enough activities for the young people.
I think I can improve my oral presentations by trying not to be so nervous and talk more slowly.

Little Red Riding Hood.
Once upon a time there was a Little girl called Little Red Riding Hood. One day her mother her to take a basket of food to her grandmother. Her grandmother lived in the forest. In the forest she met a wolf and he asked her:
-Where are you going little red?
-I am going to my grandmother’s house- said Little Red
-Take the beautiful route- said the wolf. This route was actually the long route. So the wolf had time to get to her grandmother’s house before her.
When went the wolf arrived he ate the Little Red’s grandmothers, and immediately go into the bed and pretended to be grandmother.
When Little Red arrived with the basket she thought her grandmother looked strange she has a lot of facial hair! She asked:
-Grandmother what strange eyes and ears you have?
-All the better to see and hear you with- replied the wolf
-Grandmother what strange teeth you have-said Little Red
-All the better to eat you with-said the wolf. Then he ate her.
10 minutes late the hunter arrived(he was Little Red’s father). The wolf ate him too.
Little Red’s mother never knew what happened to her daughter or her husband but she was not sad she found a new boyfriend and, with no daughter or husband to stop her, she went with her boyfriend to Hollywood and they lived happily ever after.

Great news:
Dark chocolate can help with heart disease and stress levels.
A small bar of dark chocolate a day helps to keep stress away, say specialists.
A group of men and women ate 20g of dark chocolate, morning and evening and scientists monitored their stress hormone production. Their stress hormone level was lower and they suffered less stress.
Good news for chocolate addicts.

John McFarlane was put in jail for life for the murder of Mary Griffiths. They met on Facebook. John wanted to have more than a friend and Mary said no. He was so angry he went to her house and killed her with a bolt gun. Her children were watching. Facebook is used by many people- you must be careful who you chat to.
