Use your bilingual skills in a good way



Being bilingual is really and advantage? 

The beneficts of being bilingual is that people think automatically that you are a genius!
No...seriusly,they do. They automatically assume you have some super-power brain that is finely tuned to picking up the nuances of every language in the world.

 But it depens of people, you can find others who said things like:"Think of the dumbest person you know. They speak at least one language fluently." - author unknown. -.-

For generations, we were told that raising children in two languages would leave them “confused.” The truth of the matter is that bilingualism does not, in any way, harm a child’s intellectual development. In fact, researchers are starting to demonstrate that bilingualism has a number of cognitive benefits

The point here is, that you feel free to create your own opinion, and reflect the next quote:

“Being bilingual help you to understand that not everyone sees the world in the same way, being bilingual has made me open and tolerant toward other people and cultures. I don’t have want to judge but to recognize and accept the differences that make the world so diverse and fascinating’’



 Albert Einstein and his definition of crisis

Topics for Oral Exam

''Crisis" is this word part of your rutine, or is on the black and unwanted list?
Maybe this headlines sounds boring to you, but it can really change your life.


“Let’s not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things. A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress.Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. 
It’s in crisis that inventiveness is born, as well as discoveries made and big strategies. He who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome. Who blames his failure to a crisis neglects his own talent and is more interested in problems than in solutions. Incompetence is the true crisis
The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems.There’s no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony.There’s no merit without crisis. It’s in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. 
Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis is to promote it. Not to speak about it is to exalt conformism. Let us work hard instead. Let us stop, once and for all, the menacing crisis that represents the tragedy of not being willing to overcome it.”

Future Trends

9th grade oral exam topics
Groups 1 and 5.

Trends get a bad rap, mostly because they are often equated with fashions.  Talk about trends and people immediately start imagining wafer thin models strutting down catwalks in outrageous outfits, or maybe a new shade of purple that will be long forgotten by next season.


Today, we’re on the brink of a new digital paradigm, where the capabilities of our technology are beginning to outstrip our own.  Computers are deciding which products to stock on shelves, performing legal discovery and even winning game shows.  They will soon be driving our cars and making medical diagnoses.  Here some trends that are driving it all.

  1. No touch interfaces.
  2. Massive online
  3. The web of things
  4. Perzonalized medicine
  5. Wereable computer is the watch, not the glass

Tourist NYC

9th grade oral exam topics
Group # 3.

New York City's five boroughs are home to some of the world's most recognizable, cherished landmarks and attractions. 

From Times Square and Central Park to the Empire State Building and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the island of Manhattan packs more famous icons into one compact area than any other place on earth; and that's to say nothing of the City's four other boroughs—The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island—each of which contains its own roster of must-see destinations.

So, it sounds overwelming, but dont worry, here you have the must see:



Art at NYC

9th grade oral exam topics.

  • Lower East Side Tenement Museum

Why we love to hate NYC

9th grade Oral Exam
Topic for group 4.

"New York City: the concrete jungle where dreams are made. We love everything about you — almost. And, as much as we enjoy your walkability, amazing restaurants, and incredible pizza, sometimes you can knock us down so hard that we don't even want to leave our 500-square-foot apartment (the one we share with four roommates). 

You constantly remind us that, no matter how hard we work, we'll never be the best. You’re filled to the brim with garbage and construction. And, you're so damn expensive. But still, we're so obsessed with you, that we're willing to put up with all of your flaws — dollar signs, bed bugs, and all. We heart you, NYC, but sometimes you bring us down.

Honestly, 1o things that explais why NYC drives you crazy:
  • The constant presure to be the BEST
  • Subways withouth WiFi
  • The never - ending construction
  • The skewed sense of distance
  • Bed bugs
  • The Unattainably High Physical Standards
  • The addiction to action
  • The Costly Cult-Exercise Classes
  • It spoils you
  • It’s Endlessly Humbling''

Wait a second, facebook has access to what?

Fb Is Forcing You To Talk To Your Friends On Its Terms


Since Facebook made its chat service available as a standalone app over one billion users have downloaded it. In doing so, they've unwittingly granted Facebook nearly unlimited access to their entire mobile device. 

Among the revelations: Facebook Messenger can read personal information stored on your device, access your contacts and the frequency with which you communicate with them, monitor your call log, and record audio and video from your phone. 
That's a lot of access!
Our general cluelessness is about what we're agreeing to when we download the app.
If we're going to take control of our online identities, we share a collective responsibility to educate ourselves about what information we're sharing with who, don't we?
