Today in Social Sciences the first thing we have done has been to check the chart about the different means of transport.
We have to write about uses, infrastructures, advantages and disadvantages.
A curious thing for me has been that all the class was discussing and thinking in the advantages and disadvantages.
I think it will be usefull and I have included the chart. I someone didn't correct it now she/he can do it:
USE | INFRASTRUCTURES | ADVANTAGES | DISADVANTAGES | ||
GROUND TRANSPORT | ROAD | For small amount of freight and people. Short distances. | Highways and road tolls | Cheaper than other means of transport. | Price depends on the variation of oil price. Pollution. Traffic congestions. |
RAILWAY | Freight and people in short, médium and long distance. | Rail tracks Stations Electricity installation. | Ecological. Competitive prices. Fast. Safer. No traffic congestions | Inflexibility (passangers have to adapt to lines) Delays Strict timetable Blackouts | |
MARITIME TRANSPORT | Big cuantity of freight | Ports and shipyards. Open spaces for containers. | Big capacity to carry big amount of freight. Cheap price | Depending on the weather Slow. Risk of accidents Inflexibility | |
AIR TRANSPORT | Passangers in long distance travels. Very expensive and light weight goods | Airports (runways, terminals, hangars) | Fast. Security ( the safest mean of transport) | Expensive price. Air pollution and acoustic pollution near the airports and flight routes. | |
After that we have read about tourism . This is a very interesting point because tourism is a very important activity in Spain.
Tourism is: The economic activity that consist in organazing trips and stays for the people in their leisure time.
Tourism appeared in the 19th century but did not become massive until the 2nd middle of the 20th century.
Tourism appeared in Spain in the 60s.

Enrique, you have to meet the deadline. You have to write the journal in the same day and before 20:00. You are going to have a punishment.
I ´ve changed the size of the chart, because it was too big and one part was not visible.
There are some things you have to correct. I hope you do it quickly.
Spelling mistakes:
- How do you write in English: febrero, Ciencias Sociales, debatir, útil, pasajero?
Verbs:
- The first thing we have done.... to check
- I have included
- Tourism didn´t become massive
You should have written more and be more sincere about what many people were doing during the lesson: studying Ph.E and talking. Very few people were paying attention or checking the exercise, because very few people did the homework.
Why haven´t you corrected the mistakes? This is part of the homework too. You´re very careless when you write and you have to check the mistakes immediately.
