about...

This is the last portfolio of the year and of english highschool experience. I Think that we have worked a lot and I belive that we have learnt to write more fluid and with more variated vocabulary. But it's true that it had been to work because we have done a hard efford to make it nice, correct and to prepare it for the date that it have to be done. Despite of that, In my opinion because I like do it and I like new technologies, it's a work that helps us to improve our level, and our knowledge about blogs and internet comunications. Take care =)

what time is it?

PAU writting.  

Write about the influence of psychologists on our society. Are they well considered? Could they be the answer to our psychological necessities?

In our society, we often are stressed for a lot of things: work, love, friendship, studies, etc. And we can get a mental illness if we don't take care of our mind. Step by step psychologists are being more considered because at fist, psychologists were the people who treated demential people who had neurosis.

Nowadays, it is more normal for a person to go to the psychologist to talk about personal problems, maybe because he is misunderstood bye people around him. They have an influence on our society because they listen to people and give advice to patients. For this reason they are well considered because they help people to feel themselves better, and it's necessary in our society to take things calmly because we have a lot of worries.

In spite of that, people sometimes end up depending on the psychologists and cannot live without their advice. Moreover people should learn to solve problems and psychologists ave to be only a guide for these people that feel disconcerted in that life. In fact, it's not necessary that they become the answer to our psychological necessities, they only have to help and show the ways that one can choose, but is the patient who has to try to live better his life, because if one person is learning how to live independently from other person, he also should have to learn how to live without his psychologist.

In my opinion, they have to be in their place in a measure because if society gives more importance, they can modify it manipulating minds of important people.

shepherd, farmer. PAU writting  

Hello, today in our program we have an interview with the last farmer of Alt Empordà, McDonald, an old farmer, and we are going to know about this profession that is dying.

J: Hello Mr. Mc Donald, can you listen to me right?

Mc: Yes, I can hello Jane.

J: Well, we were telling our audience that the profession of being farmer is dying around the world. What do you think about the future of it?

Mc: Well, it’s not difficult to see that it is true that is dying out and it’s becoming a “hobby” of people that have a little orchard to get some vegetables for themselves. But sadly I believe that the reality is what you say, this profession is dying each day more and more, maybe slowly but it is happening.

J: Yes, so sad. Can you tell us a little bit about this change on the farms and prayers because of technology?

Mc: Hum… So, at nowadays technology is stealing work-places of people but not only in farms also in industries and other kind of works. But in my work, it’s true that with two or three people controlling the machines that feed the animals, or driving agrimotor, it’s not necessary more people to cultivate the land.

J: Do you think that your profession was nicer before or now?

Mc: Maybe, it depends. In my case I prefer to feed my rabbits and my cows, select their food, grass or what they eat, take care about babies and little creatures. And for that reason, I prefer the traditional manners, like before. But maybe, a person who works to investigate technology, to improve the work or the product and the efficiency prefers machines and big industries. What do you prefer Jane?

J: Ha, ha so tricky, Well, I think that you are right, and I would prefer technology but also is nicer the work as it was before. More contact with the animals and maybe more natural. Nowadays lands and food are plenty of chemical products to preserve them.

Mc: exactly Jane, then, maybe in the future, people will come down again and they will start again the human development from working the land until reaching again to machines.

This is all for today, see you in the next program.
