Today we have seen a video about the ilegal cocoa plantation that there are in the Ivory coast, the owners of this
has some people as slaves.
The video was about some people that have talked about how works in this places.
They have explained us that if they scaped the owners caught and killed them and if they don't work enough, the owners beaten with the belt.
They have never eaten chocolate.They works for five years and they didn't pay them.
Therefore we must think that the 80% works for us and we mustn't buy things like chocolate nestle.
Paqui have explained us that it not happen only in the cocoa plantation, in bannana, rubber and sugarcane plantation also.

Welcome back, Yolanda. You´re on the right way now!

Here they are my corrections:

- The cocoa plantations of the video were in the Ivory Coast. The former slaves were from Mali.

- Review how to write "cocoa" and also the ver "pegar". "Beaten" is the past participle of that verb.

- What´s the contraction of "must not"? Review how you have written it.

You have forgotten that we have also spoken about GMO and transgenic seeds. This was the new content for today. You have to explain also this.

Don´t forget to check this and the previous post you wrote. Read the comments your posts have and correct all the mistakes you find. Have a nice weekend.

Hello Yolada,

There are still some mistakes you´ve forgotten:

- On this sentence "People hav e talked about how..." You need a subject for the next sentence:how they work/ how these plantations work.

-What is the third person singular of the Present Perfect in the last sentence "Paqui ..."

Please, check this. See you on Wednesday.
