Oral presentation about diseases.

Slide 1:
Hi guys! Let’s get started. Good morning ladies and gentlemen.We are Neus and Marina as you know.

Slide 2:
In this oral presentation we are going to talk about different diseases, exactly four: cancer, AIDS, bulimia and anorexia.
Nowadays this illness are very common, the fact is that in our experience we know some people who has suffered this.

Slide 3:
CANCER:
We would focus in breast cancer because few years ago, my mother had it. Well, I’m going to star to explain this disease:
Less than 10% of breast cancer cases are genetically inherited. However, most women diagnosed with breast cancer don’t have a family history of this disease.

You know there are a lot of ONG which are fighting the breast cancer, moreover, there are a lot of web pages where talk about that, like this is: http://www.y-me.org/.
In this page tells about the different kinds of treatment options, like: Chemotherapy, Side Effects, Biological Therapy, Mastectomy, Radiation, Hormonal Therapy...
But, as you know, treatments options are determined based on your individual case.

Slide 4:
AIDS: (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome)
It’s a set of symptoms and infections resulting from the damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane: such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, breast milk...

You know that this disease is very popular and common around the world, in particular in Africa there are a lot of people who has got this disease, for example In Kenya, where poverty drives some girls to sleep with older men for money.
On the other hand, teenage girls are seven times more likely to be H.I.V. positive than boys the same age.Well, I finish talking about AIDS and now…

Slide 5:
…we’d like to say something about food because is very important.
Because, on the one hand there is American people who is typical to eat fast food, and for this, they are fad. And, on the other hand, there is people who doesn’t eat, the fault is the society because it says that when more thin is a girl, she is nicer, and for that, teenage girls want to be beautiful and for this reason they don’t eat.
Also, in Spain, and other countries there are a lot of anorexic and bulimic problems, the girls don’t eat or they put their fingers to bring up, like this, she feels good.

BULIMIA:
First thing first I want to say that many people think that only young females have bulimia, but It’s wrong. It is true that there are many more women than men: in fact, 9 out of 10 people with bulimia are women. But bulimia cans affect other kinds of people like: men, older women…
There are different factors cause bulimias:
- Culture. Women in the U.S. have pressure to be very thin.
- Families. Many people with bulimia have sisters or mothers with bulimia.
- Life changes or stressful events. Traumatic events.
- Psychology.
- Biology.

ANOREXIA:
It is the decreased sensation of appetite, the fault is a psychological problem or mental disorder. Anorexics see a fat person when they look in the mirror. This people don’t see the tremendous physical and emotional damage that they have got, so they continue to diet, and over-exercise/forced exercise.

There are many possible causes for a decreased appetite, which of them may be harmful for the person.
- Some people use medicaments, antidepressants for example, to suppress appetite.
- Also they drink a lot of water because like this, they aren’t hungry.
- A lot of teenagers, when they arrive in home, say that they already eat in school, and later they don’t eat to lunch or dinner.
- Etc.

Slide 6:
Now, we’ll read an interesting story about anorexia:

Slide 7:
Maria’s StorySeventeen-year-old Maria has been on one diet or another since she was in junior high. She recently lost 10 pounds from an already slender frame after becoming a strict vegetarian. Her parents are concerned about the weight loss, but Maria insists that she’s just under stress at school. Meanwhile, her vegetarian diet is becoming stricter by the day.Maria obsessively counts calories, measures food portions, and weighs herself at least twice a day. She refuses to eat at restaurants, in the school cafeteria, or anywhere else in public, and she lives on salad dressed with vinegar, rice cakes, and sugar-free Jell-O. Maria also has a large stash of fat-free candy in her room. She allows herself to indulge as long as she goes for a run right afterwards.Slide 8:Nothing more to say.We hope you like our oral presentation.If there are any questions we’ll be happy to answer themThank you for your attention.

Slide 3:
Well…we’ll show you a North American’s map because you don’t get lost. It seems an easy thing to understand but...it’s wrong, because in USA there’re a lot of states, and because of that, there’re soo many cities, districts, etc.

Slide 5:
In the fifth slide, we’re going to talk about the history of Hollywood, interesting things (precisely: the Oscars and the best films in 2007.)
Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California, situated west-northwest of Downtown, Los Angeles. "Hollywood" is often used as a metonym for the cinema of the United States. It’s a famous people’s city. Why is Hollywood important? Well… Hollywood’s important because in the twenty century New York and New Jersey stared their films in Hollywood because there there were longer days. Moreover, they didn’t have electricity so, as a consequence they needed natural light, and for that, Hollywood was the best option to go.

Slide 6:
Hollywood places are:
·Hollywood Boulevard:
o Grauman's Chinese Theatre - In this theatre the most famous traits are the autographed cement blocks that reside in the forecourt.
oHollywood and Highland – Its center includes the Grauman's Chinese Theatre. It is an entertainment, shops and hotels, in short, it will be a commercial center.
oTheatre Kodak- This theatre has been the home of the annual Academy Awards Ceremonies, in other words, The Oscars.
· Universal City

Slide 7:
oHollywood Bowl , West Hollywood, The Roxy Theatre and East Hollywood.

Slide 8:
Do you remember the Academy Awards (The Oscars)? Before, Marina told you about that and now we’re going to give you more information. Popularly known as the Oscars, they are presented annually to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers.
We have chosen few important films in 2007, like…

Slide 9:
o …American Gangster
o The Bourne Ultimatum
o Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
o 28 Weeks Later
o The Oxford murders
o The Simpsons Movie
o I’m a legend

Slide 10:
We absolutely loved “I’m a legend”! It’s a really good film.
mmmm.. What more… the main character is Will Smith, who has won two Oscars: the best actor in “The pursuit of happyness” (en busca de la felicidad) and “Ali”. Do you remember “The fresh prince of Bel-Air” or el principe de Bel-Air in Spanish? This serie has been very well-knowm around the world. Will Smith was also the main character of that serie. He performed a good character and besides he has been nominated the best character of “The fresh prince of Bel-Air.”

Slide 11:
I'm a legend trailer.

Slide 12:
To finish, we’d like to say something about Chad Michael Murray, because in our opinion he’s the best actor. Nowadays, he is rather valued because he’s good-looking, attractive, sexy, handsome, smart, good actor, intelligent and… don’t forget he’s really muscular! =) well… you can see him in the photo!
So… and for us he’s our platonic love now and ever.
· A little bit about his life is that he was born in Buffalo, New York in 1981
· In 1999 he went to Hollywood because some brand names (for example: Sketchers, TommyHilfiger and Gucci) invited him to be a model.
·You can see his filmography in the slide.

my first oral presentation :)

Hi gueys!
I’m Marina, I’m 16 years old and when I borned I lived in Empuriabrava. I tell us about my hobby (DANCE).I related my life with dance, because my mum is a gymnastic and she teach me a lot of dances.When I was 4 or 5 years old, my mum bought a gym in Figueres, and for this reason I started practised dance.
I did different types of dance:

Jazz: is the first and the relaxest dance that I practised. My ex jazz group used this music that you can listen for one dance, it’s a beautiful song.
Aerobic: My mum loves this, she has practised aerobic all of her life, and she teachs me very well. Also, when I was 6 years I did aerobic competitions and I won a cup, in Castelló d’Empúries pavilion.
Hip-Hop: I practise this with funky, is slower than funky, and the music is similar that rap.
Step: Sometimes I practise step in Club Nautic because my mum is the teacher, and I love her class.
Esbart: in this moment, I do esbart in Castelló d’Empúries with my friends. A lot of people things that we always do a typical catalan dance, but it is false, we can do this typical dance and also do a contemporary ballet, but in my opinion I like more rhythmical dance than esbart.
Funky: is my favourite dance, I started at 6 or 7 years old. I did a funky competitions in different towns with my funky group. Unluckly, my mum send her gym and I leaft funky.

Now, I explain more funky things.Funky is a dance of American black people, in 1970 funky music arised and after that, they made the dance. In 1996 this inside in Spain, it was very famous, also now is very well known. Funky has got any inconvenient, for example, backache and you can have very problems with your knees.
But is funny practise this. Now I put a video with a funky competition.In the other hand, there are funky tonight, Koreans people practise this all of time, is very popular in their countries. Sometimes, my friends and I play with this machine; it’s very funny, but difficult. Also have a video for this dance.I would relate funky with a film, Save the last dance. In this film success that one girl danced ballet and she met a black boy, he taught she about Funky, and she mixed funky with ballet contemporary. They did a complicated and fantastic dance.

In my opinion, this film is one of the best and I recommended.
