My dear Claudia,
How have you been, I am so happy to write you, because in this two weeks I meet a person, a new student in my class, his name is Robert, he is very stupid, I dont like him, because he interrupts my conversations all the time, he steals my pencils all the time and my schoolbag to make jokes on me. He is very detestable, but in the Europe trip I talked to him and I discovered he is very funny, he talked to me about her interests and we have many interests in common.
He is very funny Claudia, my first impression was that he was a very detestable person, a person whom I needed to kill... you understand, but with the time, I knew her, and my first impressions changed, and now I see the real person that Robert is.
Robert is a lot like me. He likes the same things that I do, is very strange, it is like looking at me in the mirror, I found my mirror I found my best friend well... you are my best friend Claudia, but I found my best friend with the same interests that I have.
One day, I show you Robert to you, is very funny, you will like him. The other day Robert invited me to his country house, it has very long fields and has many animals, is so beautiful! Well I need to go, my mother is calling me to have lunch, good bye Claudia, take care, bye!!!

Uniforms
Activity:
1.- Find the six arguments in favour of school uniform in the first text:
- School uniforms are a perfect way to identify students within the school compound.
- This increases the safety of students since any intruder would stand out.
- School uniforms are a perfect way to promote equality amongst the students.
- It is cheaper for you to buy school uniform for your child than it is to buy branded clothing.
- School uniforms also provide an atmosphere where the students are not distracted from their studies.
- School uniforms bring a sense of identity to the students.
2.- Read the second text. How does Mark Potterton refute the arguments you identified in question 1? Write them down. List any points that Potterton makes which are not explored in the first text:
- Now uniforms are back in fashion and are once again an indicator of social attitudes.
- They argue that learners are often so focused on their wardrobe that it distracts them from their school work.
- However, there is no data to prove that uniforms are conductive to learning and can improve student performance.
- We already know that learners who are forced to wear uniforms will find other ways to express themselves, possibly through the inappropriate use of make-up, piercings or jewellery.
- Schools spend a lot of time and energy on getting learners to wear their uniforms properly.
- Untucked shirts, loosened ties, missing belts, unbuttoned blazers and other infringements keep teachers very busy enforcing a uniform dress code.

THE IB INTERNAL ASSESSMENT INDIVIDUAL ORAL
Felipe Sánchez Y. III°A
HOMEWORK EXERCISE
The main idea of this post
is to express that television has so much influence, that is able to control
the attitudes of a child, as his mind is very fragile and easy to manipulate,
so here is the effects that television would in this small, so this is
influenced, since their mentality is so young and innocent, her mind mimics
what television shows.
Both
fragments are accurate; however, the first fragment has a great relationship
with the ad displayed:
1 Children will watch anything, and when a broadcaster uses crime and violence and other shoddy devices to monopolize a child’s attention, it’s worse than taking candy from a baby. It is taking precious time from the process of growing up. — Newton Minow
Because if the television, captures the attention of
the child, this will be surprised to see so much, he does not know if this is
right or wrong, the crime or murder, all these images are shocking to the mind
of this child, so imitate his mind, and will not know if that will be good or
bad, for what is said to do that is like taking candy from a baby, but of course,
since we are taking away their innocence, their freedom, their childhood to
project these crude images to a child who is in early development.
The ideas that predominate this image are: the lack of
innocence, and the misuse of the media because the media, should not show and
give account of terrible things on television, right on schedule where children
are present, so that these do a meddling, removing what these are, and showing
them a reality aggressive, taking away their childhood innocence, controlling
his mind frail and weak.
Finally, the television, clearly made children to act
in an aggressive manner, but this is no fault of the parents, but the
television, not only for its animated content, but that content flows while
appear and encounter other programs, which are not suitable for them, so that
it impacts and is influenced in children, being that we believe are cartoons,
when in fact we have seen to become so violent.
