ESSAY
Nowadays the situation
of finding a jog has been representing a problem for many people, especially; the
recent graduates, unemployed, and people over forty years old. This is a result
of the lack of job and possibilities of growth that is causing a serious
situation in the economy of every family. However, this type of difficulties
are only faced by people that have some disadvantages in comparison from others
that get a little help from relatives working in those companies.
It is considered that
some of the advantages that people could have from getting a job from their
family members start with being easily accepted from the company and might get
an important position in the respective enterprise. Also these people do not
face any difficulty or the fastidious long processes of admission and
evaluation. In addition, it is thought that this recommended people would receive
a considerable income for their services at the company even if their time is
not enough. Not forgetting the facilities of absences given when they present
any familiar or health problem, including the respect on their vacation
permission.
Additionally,
recommended people do not face many business or personal problems with their
mates due to their company´s position. Moreover, they could get the great
chance of meeting very important people around the enterprise environment and
at the same time getting a remarkable knowledge because of the experience
learnt from all that business relations.
To sum up, when there
is a family member at a company and a relative is looking for job it would have
some facilities to developed himself due to the directly relation, so it could
be recommendable to have this type of connections or contacts to get some help in
an easy way.

1st PARTIAL WRITING EXAM (corrections)
Dear Manager, Stardust
Restaurant,
To begin with, Yes, I filled
that form to complain about the service. I was surprised to experience the unsatisfying
retard of the wait staff, lately. I´ve been coming to this restaurant for
years.
I was very disappointed
with the way the waitress gave us the service. May be she wasn´t feeling ok,
but the form she served us and the awful manners were unacceptable.
I hope you talk, not
only with her but with all your staff and give them some training. Also I
suggest testing your personal before you make a decision to contract them. My
family insisted on changing your staff, but in my view it could be an exaggerating
idea.
To sum up, we really
love this restaurant, so do not let the employees to ruin it. Your food,
environment and music are the best. I consider it is important to solve this problem
as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Robert Krumm

PARTIAL REFLECTION
How was my
performance in this partial?
Personally my performance during this second partial of the
semester, I have been improving considerably due to all the activities that
were done at class. My continued participation every session, the activities
with time and the ones that were by team. That is why I consider I had advanced
on my performance on this subject.
What should I continue
doing because I got good results?
I really need to continue practicing at home with all the
tools, links, apps and web pages that the teacher had provided us to develop and
improve ourselves.
What do I need to
change?
Maybe I would need to change a little bit my priorities in my schedule and
better organize my time to do all the practices and activities well done.

Reflection of the 1st Partial
Reflection of the 1st Partial
I consider that this partial my performance was really good. At first I thought I did not have the enough habilities to get the level, but by the time the course was advancing I fall into acount that I was progressing succesfully , my grades were considerably getting better.
On my view the habbit of practising daily and getting use to listen every thing in english, like movies, documentaries, articles made me to accustom to the language. This activities had a good result on my grades, so I will continue doing homework for my progress.
This partial I did not have too much problem with this subject, but it could be a good idea to be better prepared before every english exam.
I will definitely keep up with the constancy and responsibility to keep my grades and get better results by the end of the semester.

READING 7
The article that I’ve read took place in Colombo Sri Lanka, the problem here was that a huge amount of rubbish was placed next to a poor neighborhood called Meetotamulla. The things became worst when this garbage collapsed onto a group of homes, killing 17 people and injuring 13. That is why the residents were very upset because they had already advised of this huge problem before. And 600 local people had to move from there and were afraid of the police that instead of helping, they arrested some who protest about this unjustified action.

REFLECTION OF THE ACTIVITY
This activity was really helpful for me to practice my Reading Aloud , a part of the Speaking TOEIC EXAM. At first with this project I was able to listen how I was used to pronounce the English when I read. Then the original recordings really helped me to learn how is the difference in the intonation between a simple text and an announcement. And finally after hearing and practicing a lot I could record my own announcement correctly. I truly enjoy this speaking activity.
