Globalization: Child Labour


When we talk about globalization we think that this word only means money, business, technology, but there is a bigger problem behind this. According to UNICEF, 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour, one in six children in the world. All children have the opportunity to go to school and to live in peaceful environment, but all these children do not have these opportunities. Instead of go to school these children work in mines, chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or work with dangerous machinery. Instead of being with their families they are forced to work. These children work in hazardous conditions. It is very sad to know that this is happening and we can not do anything. Even in our country we can see children working in the streets selling pencils or stickers and nobody does something. Not only the government has to work against child labour, but all of us have to do something. If we want a better future for our children we have to find solutions right know, and we can start in our communities.

Do You Believe There Is Life In Others Planets? Yes, I Do


Since Tales to NASA have given evidence that there is life in other planets. A lot of videos and testimonies are seen by millions of people around the world. People say that they have seen lights and objects in the sky, but is this true? Personally I believe that Yes!! The universe is really big just for us. A lot of galaxies, planets, and starts are not there just for being there. According to information that my classmates gave in our class, there are planets in where there are rivers, volcanos, and plants, So, if there is this king of life in those planets, there is a big probability that human beings like us, not phisically, but alive.

People have different opinions about space journeys. There are people that are in favor and there are people against. But, if we look for information, we can found a lot of important projects and technology that we have because of space journeys. Satellites, telescopes, and even kitchens are some of the benefits. All these electronic advances make our life easier and more comfortable and also gives us hope for our future life. Electronic arms and legs, artificial organs, new ways to see and hear, and more advance technologies are all the discoveries that these scientists and astronauts have given us in order to help all of us to be comfortable in this world and to have a better life.

What Is To Be A Good Speaker?


All of us are different in terms of being a good speaker and everyone has different techniques in order to give speeches. So, Are those techniques the ones that make us to be good? or Is our personality that helps us to be good? Well, both of them are important when we talk about being a good speaker. When we are in front of a big public what do we feel?, maybe panic, fear, or nervous. When we have these feelings we follow the rules that our teacher gave us or a list that we found in the Internet. Whatever we use in that moment is a good technique that helps us to continue with our speech. Being a good speaker is to follow certain rules of a list or just our own rules. It is how to deal with our feelings and make them work in our favor. It is to deal with a different public every time we give an speech and make them fun. It is to give the best of us, to know what we are going to talk about, to interact with people, and, as our professors say, it is to make eye contact, speak slowly and fluent, and to be careful with pronunciation and grammar. But, the most important is to be ourselves and be the best.
