Monday, 14th of February


Today in Social Sciences, we have eaten breakfast in the classroom because we were on a speech and first Paqui has given us the Africa's map back and some people have to repeat them. Today Kelly has been with us. Then we have started checking the 3 exercises from homework about the present situation of the secondary sector in Spain and the main regions which are Catalonia, Madrid, the Basque country and the Valencian Community. After, Paqui while she has shown us a powerpoint of graphics and percentages , she has explained that Spain is one of the most industrialized countries in the world, the main industrial regions in Spain, the importance, etc. Then we have started reading point 2: The tertiary sector , that includes the activities that consist of rendering services to the people and we have started with one activity: Trade. It consists of exchanging products for money or other products and we have seen two types depending on the quantity of products exchanged: Wholesale trade that is comercio al por mayor and Retail trade; al Retall . Depending on the place where products are exchanged we can see: Inland trade and Exterior trade , that includes Exports ( when we sell to other countries) and Imports ( when we buy it from outside). We have copied a scheme on our notebooks about this. Paqui and Kelly have looked for: cementerios nucleares but they haven't found (Now Paqui knows: nuclear waste dump). Suddenly, a teacher has brought some Saint Valentine's cards to some people. Finally, no one wanted to do the journal and Paqui has told me to do it.
SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I couldn't do it before.

Hello Bea,

You´ve forgotten to include a picture. You could add somthing related to trade.

There is a mistake about the translation of retail trade. In Spanish is "al detall" and it isn´t used more in Catalonia. I´ve said that this expression seems more Catalan than Castilian. Please, correct this.

I´ve found the translation for "cementerio nuclear": nuclear waste dump

You can include it on your post.
Well done.

Hi!
I think today it has been a good class, but many people has spoken in spanish, as you say Paqui, we will become rich!
See you

Very good picture!

Yes, Laura. I have to start recovering the money you owe me. In a few weeks we could decide where to invest the money. I have some suggestions.

Hello Bea,
You've written a nice complete journal for today.

You've made some small mistakes, but overall it's well written. For example:

1. Regarding spelling, you should write: "secondary" not "secundary" and "Depending" not "Dependig"

2. Regarding wording, you should say "the main regions which are Catalonia, Madrid..." instead of "the main regions that are..." and not "anyone wanted to do the journal..." you need to say, "no one wanted to do the journal..."
