Hello everybody!

Today in Social Sciences, Paqui has said us the final marks and she has said that we have to send her the projects about secondary and tertiary sector, so don't forget! Also she has talked about the make up exam, if you study you will able to pass, so luck in the exam!
After that, Yolanda Rubio, Beatriz Yuste and Yolanda Abad have checked the exercises about the democracy, Constitution and universal sulffrage. Paqui has explained us the universal sulffrage. It's all the people who have the legal age can vote, without exception.
Then we have to go on reading the unit and Paqui has explained us with summaries:
· The division of powers: power isn't concentrated, but divided into three parts and held by different institutions:
- Executive power, the Governmen.
- Legislative power, the Parliament
- Judicial power, the Courts of Justice.
· How can be democracy:
- Direct democracy -> the citizens make the decisions directly. Paqui has explained us the example of Albacete Town hall: 1,000,000,000 € are annual budget and 1/3 of the budget is administered by the citizens. The citizens of the different districts of the city meet in assemblies and decide how to invest the money.
- Representative -> the citizens choose their representatives and these representatives make the decisions. Spain is an example of this kind

At the end of the class Paqui has given us some exercises on page 66 (9 to 12) .
So this is all for today, that you'll have a good weekend!
See you soon!

PD: I want to remember that today one year ago we were in London!

Well done, Ana! There are some small mistakes you can correct without problems:

- It´s better that you use the expression "to go on reading". In the sentence "we have fllowing read" it´s better that you write "we have ...".

- When you explain representative democracy, you can add "Spain is an example of this kind".

- And finally, it´s better to say "have a good weekend", better than "pass"

So, have an excellent weekend and enjoy ;)
