Ukraine conflict: Poroshenko vows to 'calm' Mariupol fighting

SUMMARY

This news is about Ukraine and its president, Petro Poroshenko, who has promised to calm the fight against pro-Russia rebels in east Ukraine, because 30 people have died in just one day.
It is necessary to emphasize that more than 5.000 persons have died in the combats since the rebels got hold of a great band of the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. 
For this reason, the president of this country has decided finally to try to calm these clashes.


OPINION

I do not understand the clashes between these two countries. They are countries that are on the side,speak the same language and have relatives in both countries.
In conclusion, I hope that the situation between these two countries would improve, because  the time happens, and  this will be even more wrong than this going now, because now it is only the beginning.

SELF EVALUATION

This second quarter I made the presentation about my research project which is about the protest songs of the 20th century, generally located in the United States.

In this Presentation: I used a Power Point, because when I present, It  was always has good graphics, and It easy to work with this. Although, this time the Power Point had very little information, therefore, this part is necessary to improve it.

The Body Language: I think that my language Is sufficiently clear and precise. Therefore, easy to understand.

The Structure: The structure that I have followed, Is the usual, Introduction, Index, Parts of the Research Project: firstly the theoretical part and secondly de practical part. And finally the Conclusion.

The Content : I think it Is a fairly complete presentation. B

ut anyway, I had to have given more information about the practical part of my project.

The Language: I think that the grammar was correct but there is always an error.

The Pronunciation: I think that the pronunciation Is good. It must be said that I have improved regarding the previous quarter.

In conclusion: I think that this presentation has helped me a lot.

First of all, I've improved my way of speaking, the last quarter I was talking very fast, but this quarter, I know when I need to take a break.

On the other hand, I have learned many things on how it was the life in the United States and other countries during the 20th century.

In conclusion, it was not easy to live in those years.

MY HOLIDAYS

This Christmas I've done a few things. On December 24, I have gone to a discotheque with my friends to celebrate the Christmas, but before going, I had an accident by car, nothing serious thankfully.

During this holiday I had trained handball  and also went to the gym.
And when came 31 of December I went to celebrate the end of year to a discotheque in Girona.
There I had a great time, although the club was not entirely pleasant; toilets were dirty, people smoked indoors, a disorder.
And when new year started, I didn't do anything interesting. I did my homework and occasionally I was watching some movies.
