ORAL PRESENTATIONS OF MY FRIENDS

ORIOL OLIVA,Humour in Spanish TV:

humour in spanish tv. Examples: Cruz y raya and Los morancos. In TV3: Plats Bruts, Polonia, Crackovia, APM, Vinagre... In Telecinco: CQC, Aida, Escenas de Matrimonio... In Cuatro: Friends, Estas no son las noticias, El hormiguero... In La Sexta: Se lo que hicisteis, Buenafuente, Family Guy...

I liked his presentation because he talked about the sitcomes I use to see. in my opinion he was a bit nervous but he done it so good, he didn't red nothing and his pronunctiation is good.

CHAINEZ SELLOUM AND FIONA MATA, sitcomes:

They talked about what is a sitcome and gave us some examples.
Examples: Cosby Show(1984), The Twilight (1959-2003), Fresh Prince (1990-1996) with Will Smith, and American Dad, (2005), by Seth MacFarlane.

I really enjoyed their oral presentation becoause their english is really good and they both have a nice accent. The topic was interesting.
ARIADNA COMAS, Neoclassicism, Illustration, Romanticism, Naturalism and Realism:

She compared the evolution of women in a society in these stages with what Jane Austen reflected in the book with the characters. For example, in Illustration's stage women wanted to be a good wife and a good mother , or in Romanticism the feelings are more important than reason , or in Realism, when reality of people have been more reflected.

Her topic was a bit difficult but so interesting, she done a good presentation and a good research work to find out all the information.

Elisenda and Laia Salo, the realtionship between Darcy and Elisabeth:

They described Elisabeth and Darcy and they talked about their first meeting, the second meeting(when he helps her and touch her hand), third meeting(in the ball room), the fourth meeting(in Kent, he shows his feelings to Lizzy), the Fifth meeting(in Pemberley) and the Sexth meeting(in Longbourn).

The topic was quite nice, the developement of their love story. their power point was so nice and they done it so good.

Neus and Marina Julia, Types of love:

Arranged marriages(Mr Collins and Charlotte), love at first sight(Bingley and Jane) and hate becomes love (Darcy and Elisabeth). Actually, there is the platonic love. Also they talked about some love films like Definitely, maybe and Love Actually.

Their topic was so nice and romantic and I enjoyed their oral presentation.

Adrià Carmona, types of humour:
Verbal humour (comic adviser, blue humour, bull, epigram, irony)
Physical humour (slpastick, clowning)
And visual humour ( ho show us some funny pictures)

His oral presentation was so funny and he done it so good because he didn't use his notes.

Alejandro Peña, Buenafuente:
Tv channels where he has work: TV3, La cosa nostra; Antena 3, La Sexta. And he also worked in the radio(cope of Reus and Ser)
Buenafuente Shows start with a monologue and we can structure them on different sections.
His favourite section is "El Follnero" and "Bertovision".

He was a little bit nervous but I must say that he done it much better than last year because he didn't red from his notes.

Adrià Alfaro, The Simpsons:
It is a really famous satirical sitcome. Created by Matt Groening in 1989.
the main characters of the sitcome: Homer (stupid and alcoholic), March (the oppostie of Homer, clever), Bart (a great troublemaker), Liza (very intelligent) and Maggie (the baby).
Second characters: Abraham Simpson, Brandy, Lenny and Carl and Moe.
Sripingfield is based in Portland.

I liked his oral presentation because it was so funny and he talked about this sitcome like if it was something of his live, really natural.

Anna and Miriam, how to be a gentleman like Mr Darcy in our days:

They adapted the behaviour of Mr Darcy to nowadays. They talked about how a gentleman has to be in a dinner. And the politics of a romantic dinner of class. And also they put a video of the rules of dinner.

their oral presentation topic was so original and they done it really good. her pronuntiation was nice and they didn't read from notes.

Carles and Clàudia, weddings around the world:
They introduced us in the topic of the wedings and then they focused Indian weddings and arabian weddings.
Indian weddings: it beganing at night and finishes with a breakfast.
Arabian weddings: has a lot of partys...

They oral presentation was so good, tha topic was interesting and their pronuntiation so good.

Baldiri, Iñaki and Bernardo, life in 19th century and Pride and Prejudice:
They talked about the jobs, techonolgy, education, housing, food, clothing, society costums... They put a video of Family Guy to make the presentation funny.

I liked their presentation because it was all espontanious talking and their pronuntiation was so good.

COMPOSITION

COMPUTERS HAVE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE



Nowadays computers are present everywhere, and it’s a great question if they have made our world a better place.
I have some arguments for and against computers.

A good point for the computers is that communication between people from all over the world is much simpler (family, friends, business…) in addition information can be easily stored, classified, accessed, transferred…Therefore business can complete contracts much easier without travelling.
What is more, large amounts of information can be stored in a small area, so it means less wasting paper.
Another reason is that school and work projects can be organised and presented clearly.
Additionally you have access to amounts of info and you can study for degrees or certificates on the internet (for example open university).
With the computers we are able to background knowledge on people, finding out if they are legitimate or not.
Finally, you can bank or shop on the internet making life much easier for everyone.

But not all is positive; there are some points against computers. For me the first point against computers is that children advance too quickly and this means a shorter childhood. They have access to information unnecessary and sometimes unsuitable.
Computers kills children imaginations (no more inventive games with cars, dolls…).
Moreover they make people lazy with the on-line shopping and banking.
Another point against computers is that internet is destroying the music and cinema industry because people download.
Another bad point of internet is that it has expanded the pornography industry.
With internet is easy to steal other people work and ideas.
A lot of false information is given and sometimes people do not learn to look up information in encyclopaedias, dictionaries, newspapers…
Finally, if you don’t save your work or information regularly if the computer crashes or there is a virus you lose everything.

COMPOSITION



IS HUMOUR NECESSARY TO SURVIVE??


Nowadays humour is present everywhere you can imagine.
Laughing and having some fun has been always an important fact in human society.
But we must take into account that depending on the culture or the time period humour has been restricted.

I think that it’s really necessary for each person to have a little bit of sense of humour and enjoy the daily things. If something bad happens we must make it easy and don’t bother, we must search the funny part of bad things to cheer up!!
Of course, it doesn’t mean that we have to laugh everywhere and for all the things or sad events.

Humour makes our lives a little bit happier and agreeable: we laugh with friends, in some moments of a class, during a conversation with an unknown person, during a dinner, with family…and with the new medias we can laugh watching TV, listening to the radio, in front of the computer…nowadays it’s easy to have fun if you want.

But humour is good in moderation; I hate those programmes in which people laugh at disabled or physically handicapped persons, or those which incite and foment ignorance and vulgarity.

Some of my friends tell me that I’m a little bit strange because I don’t like Buenafuente, Vinagre, Polonia,…or some programmes like those, I think they are quite stupid, not funny.
But on the other hand, I love comedy sitcoms, programmes like El Hormiguero, Camerà Cafè…well, everyone has his own tastes for humour, or music, clothes…isn’t it?

So, in conclusion, for me humour is really important, maybe it’s not necessary to survive (for some people) but as I said, it makes our lives a little bit happier and agreeable.
