MADDISON CHANNEL

This is a part of my oral presentation about "Maddison Channel - in order to understand it better, I give here some more explanations because the shooting of our presentation, for different problems, is not complete:

1. The hour of Luis Alvero:

This is a program of “MADDISON CHANNEL” where all kind of famous people are interviewed, independent if they’re more or less famous. They talk about humour; magic and they make different shows.

It takes place in a studio with public audience. Luis Alvero represents the program.

2. Your opinion:

It is a program of M.CH. about actual news  - Things that make people curious, like f.ex. Condoms (how to use it), dances – it takes place in the street and there are two reporters. One of them is Alex, a student of our class and the other is Hadassa Pavia

3. Western (el Oeste)

It is a program of M.CH. about gossips of the “heard magazines” and the actuality of famous people of our country. It is called “Western” because in the beginning there were always girls dancing in western clothes.

The reporter of the program is called Quintín, a guy who is very appreciated in the “world of heard items”.

It takes place in another studio of M.CH.

4. The reporters

It is a program of M.CH. of about topics of our interest or public items, like f.ex. : the “correfocs”, animal shelters etc. It is similar to the program “Callejeros” (TV Channel Cuatro) but there is no reporter doing outside interviews. It is more informative and it takes place in the streets.

I am sorry about my oral presentation but it's always the same: nervs overcome me, I can't stand these nervs. In the middle of the oral presentation I start to laugh and than I forget what I have to say and I suffer/undergo a brainwash... I hope I'll do it better in the future and I'll control my nervs. 

However, I think that it was a good presentation and the language and the pronunciation were OK. In my opinion, our mark is a 7.

Devon’s giant wind farm is blown out of the water

News

RWE, a German technology company of energy, was planning to built a wind farm of 240 turbines in the Atlantic but due to the financial and technical problems for realizing the project, finally it won’t be built. It would have delivered energy for 1.000.000 people.

Alternative energies....

The project by itself was a good project because the traditional resources are getting lower and lower for producing energy and it is time to chose alternative resources. A wind farm would also be profitable in our region as we have a lot of the strong Tramuntana wind. It would be a good alternative to produce energy without a big effort – the only effort and investment is the construction and mounting of the big turbines.

But as usual, the environmental organisations are against it due to the impact in nature. But what is more important? The impact in nature or assuring that everybody gets energy for fair prices? And what is the negative aspect for nature? Animals will get used to it as they did in other areas where these turbines already exist. I think it is the usual bureaucratic madness of this country preventing the completion of these kind of projects.

Alex Salmond promises the pound in White Paper on Scottish independence

Alex Salmond is expected to dismiss warnings that the English will refuse to share the pound as he unveils his long-awaited blueprint for independence

News

Alex Salmons, Scottish First Minister, presents this morning the details for the referendum for the independence of Scotland. It is a 670-page large document which includes all the main aspects. He also believes that in case of being independent, Scotland could share the Pounds with Great Britain although there is some opposition from England is not sharing his opinion. The referendum will take place the 18th September 2014.

The evolution of the independence process in Scotland is very interesting for Catalunya because both countries experience similar emotions – a huge need of being an own nation. Scotland paves the way for countries whose people want to get the right for auto determination. 

So whatever happens in the next time in Scotland is essential for the independence process in Catalunya. If they go ahead, the Spanish Government will have more difficulties to deny the right of the Catalan people to get their referendum. It will even be essential for the whole European Community because in the end, although we are one union, we are all little nations with our own languages, traditions and convictions.

Ukraine police clash with protesters

Teargas fired at pro-EU demonstrators, while authorities seek to isolate jailed opposition leader who has declared hunger strike

Google images

News

The police of Ukraine used yesterdays  teargas and batons in order to break up a pacific demonstration in Kiev. The people were demonstrating for being admitted in the European Union but the leader of Ukraine rejects the EU under pressure from Moscou. But the main part of the people are in favour and the opposition leader, Yulia Tymoshenko, is in prison and started a hunger strike against the policy of the leader of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich.

It seems incredible that in the 21st century there are still dictatorships or politic leaders who try to pressure their people with violence. When do they recognize that the right of free opinion and expression is one of the most essential human rights? 

More and more social revolutions are taking place in countries with social pressure. Due to the internet it is not possible to close people in a political vacuum and suppress human rights. May be during the Cold War you had some chance to do it, but nowadays it is an own goal because the voice of the people cannot be suppressed – not even with all the policy force. In the end you must give in or the pressure of the democratic countries will punish you too.

Spanish government accused of pushing illegal homes to Britons

A register with details of Spain's three million empty homes fails to flag all of those earmarked for demolition

News

Several properties were sold to British people although they were not built legally. This is a result of the corruption in the construction industry which is one of the responsible of the big crash 2007. If you buy them now may be they must be bulldozed.

Everybody knows that Spain is a synonym for corruption. Not only in the construction industry but also in all levels of life, bureaucracy etc.. But the construction industry was one of the industries which most exploited the corruption. Everybody kept the hand open in order to receive a big part of the cake. They built without any logical concept – the only important thing was to earn a lot of money. 

Due to the crash in 2007 all those black sheep were discovered step by step and after 5 years crisis you have now an idea of the whole magnitude. The crisis was good for separating all those black sheep from the people who try to earn their life honestly. Hope people have learnt the lesson.

Merkel’s conservatives agree coalition with Social Democrats

The Times News

After nearly two month of negotiation, the German Prime Minister, Angela MERKEL and her party, the Christian Democrats finally signed the big coalition with the Social Party of Germany SPD. Another part of the big coalition is the CSU, the “brother” party of the Christian Democrats in the South of Germany.

Due to the crisis, I think it was necessary that both parties work together now because one alone cannot resolve the problems of their countries. And together it will be difficult but not impossible. The situation of Germany is like a mirror of the whole political situation in Europe. People don’t know who to vote because they are tired of all the lies before the elections – and after the big date, politics never remember the promises they made. So the only way to go ahead is to do it together.

Email to teacher

Hi teacher,

I am Xantal, I am 17 years old and I'm studying 2nd batxillerat in Highschool.

I've lived in Castelló d'Empúries since 2001 - my father is Catalan, my mother is German.

My brother is 22 and he is doing a professional training in Düsseldorf/Germany. After highschool I would like to go to University to do a degree as teacher for Primary School. A friend of mine and me are planning to share a little flat because we want to study the same universitary studies and so we can share costs and experiences. May be we choose Vic o Girona but we won't know until later on - it depends on our final mark.

To be able to get to the University, I have to study a lot and I hope that my family will support me the maximum they can. As I have 2 examines pending from last cours, I have certainly to study a lot in order to be able to pass. However, I will give my best and then we will see what I'll get for it.

My long-term goals are very simple: I want to share life with my boy friend and work as a teacher. Later on, after having enjoyed life, the next spet would be to have some children. But first of all I want to enjoy life, travel a lot and make huge of experiences.

I agree with Obama that every person has a special know how, a certain ability and it is very important to discover it, to know it in order to be able to choose the right way in Life. This is the only way to be happy and succesful.

Greeting,

Xantal
