Today in Social Sciencies, we have finished Unit 2. At the beginning of the lesson we have checked two exercises: one consisted of explaining what unions are and how they work, and the other one consisted of explaining what a strike is. In the last exercise we had to added one more thing because we haven´t written the exact answer. Paqui has asked to someones the different ways of go on strike for example work-to-rule strike, slow down...
Finally we have read the last point: STOCK EXCHANGE. It´s a place where stocks are bought and sold. Stocks are shares of a company, which give the owners the right of receiving benefits if there are any and the people how have the stocks are called "stockholders". The people that buy and sell stocks in the STOCK MARKET, are called " brokers". The name "Bourse" comes from the city of Bruges in where an important family os traders lived, the Van der Burse. They used their house as a place for trade meetings. In Amsterdam there is one of the most important Stock Exchange. The Speculators are the people who play with the values of stocks and they can cause the fall of country, this is not fair and they would have to be jailed. For homework, we have to do the crossword of the unit to review. See you :)
Hello Rebeca.
ReplyDeleteThere is a vocabulary mistake in the last paragraph: the "sculptors" are the artists who make sculptures. The people who play in the Stock Exchange Market are "speculators".
Read again what you have written. You may find some spelling or punctuation mistakes. If not, let´s wait for your classmates´ corrections.
Bye!
It's a good journal. Very complete
ReplyDeleteGood work
Silvia, you could have written today´s journal.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the other students? You´re not cooperating in the checking of the journals.
Hello Rebeca,
ReplyDeleteYou did a good journal but I just want to make one comment about how you expressed one thing. Your word order and prepositions are a bit wrong. You wrote:
"one consisted in explain what was a union?and How they work? and the other one consisted in explain what was a strike?."
it would be better to say:
"one consisted of explaining what unions are and how they work, and the other one consisted of explaining what a strike is."
Ok, I have checked it, thanks... :)
ReplyDeleteHello Rebeca. Thanks for correcting the mistakes. There are still some mistakes:
ReplyDelete- Someone is always singular and means "alguien". If you refer to different people, you can write "some students", "some classmates"...
- In the same sentence you wrote "the different ways of go on strike". It´s better to write "the different ways of going on strike".
Have a nice weekend.
REBECA, a good journal!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the journal it's very completed. I like this types of journals. See you on monday:)
BYE, BYE.
