Translation

Well, in this term we've decided to talk about bullying, because we think is a social issue that exists in schools and high schools, and many times we don't realize that it exists.
Bullying is any form of psychological abuse, verbal or physical conduct among schoolchildren. The dominant type of violence is the emotional and it happens often in the classroom and school break time. Bullying is common in children between 12-13 years, and is more common in girls than in boys.
Because of the bullying, the victim generates psychological disorders. Victims live terrified with the idea of going to school. They're nervous, sad and lonely in their daily lives. In some cases, the hardness of the situation can get to suicide. Over 350 million children suffer some form of violence at school.

We can see that there are eight types of bullying:

1-Lock social
2- Harassment
3- Manipulation
4- Constraints
5- Social Exclusion
6- Intimidation
7- Assault
8-Threats

1. Lock social: The aggressor wants to marginalize and isolate socially the victim, so the victim feels weak, helpless and stupid.
2. Harassment: Harassment: The aggressor acts with contempt, disrespect, and without consideration of the dignity of the victims. The signals of this type of bullying are contempt, hate, the nicknames, cruelty...
3. Manipulation: It distorts the social image of the victim. All the things that the victim makes are negative.
4. Constraints: The aggressor obliges the victim to realize actions against himself. With this way the aggressor can control the victim and he can get what he wants.
5. Social exclusion: They don't want the victim to participate. Aggressors treat the victim as if he was invisible, they don’t want him to participate in their games.
6. Intimidation: The aggressor creates fear to the victim. The person feel threatened. The aggressors attack the victim in the hallways and when school finishes.
7. Assault: The aggressor hits the victim.
8. Threats: The aggressor threatened and extorted to the person and his family.

Risk factors

Profile of the aggressor:
- The aggressors not always have a mental illness or a severe personality disorder. The main problem is lack of empathy. Without empathy the aggressor can’t understand what the person suffers, is totally insensitive.
- A 70% of the aggressors blame the victim saying that he had begun the discussion, so they haven’t got remorse of what they do.
- It can also be a bad family environment: abuse, humiliation…

Profile of the victim:
- There are people that can't react
- They’re not sociable and they’re sensitive.
- They don't know how to defend themselves because they have shame, and aggressions are very harmful to them.
The school environment:
In the school where the environment is bad and the teachers don't know how to control conflicts, bullying is more frequent.
The television:
There are TV programs that show violence as a good thing, and children tend to imitate. However, experts are still debating the effects of TV.

Consequences of bullying

On the victims:
- They can suffer physical injury, fear and anxiety.
- In school performance gets worse, because they are not going to school or they have difficulties to concentrate.
- Stress causes suffering stomach pains, headaches, not eating ...


On the aggressor:
- They may have social problems; it is difficult to live with others.
- In adulthood they can have a criminal life.

Conclusion

- The female suicides could be reduced by 10% if the bullying disappears.
- 22% of Spanish children are exposed to suffer bullying.
- Being overweight and having a bad economic situation increases the possibility of suffer bullying.
- Bullying is a common problem in this society, destroys self-esteem and self-confidence.

Write down a LITERAL TRANSCRIPTION of your presentation.

Well, I decided to talk about some films I've seen and that I liked and I found interesting. I've only been able to put 5 because with 5 minutes I don't have time to put them all.

Detroit rock city (1999): Four members of a high school band called Mystery do everything they can to attend a KISS concert in Detroit. Their names are Lex, Trip, Hawk and Jam. In order to make it to the show they must steal, cheat, strip, etc… generally do whatever it takes to see the band. It’s a very funny film.

The educators (2004): It’s about three friends, two boys called Jan and Peter, and a girl, called Jule. They want to change the state of the world. They formed a group called “The edukators”. They come in the house of rich people and change the furniture site, hiding objects, etc, but they never use violence and never stole anything. It’s a kind of protest about rich people. Everything is complicated when Jule falls in love with the two guys, and then they get into trouble.

Clockwork orange (1971): It’s a classic. It’s about a young man called Alex, his passions are ultra violence, rape, steal, and Beethoven. He is the ringleader of a group; they hit, rape and terrorize people. Alex caught it and locked in prison and he voluntarily submitted to a program that nullifies this bad behaviour. Seems to work, but at the end of the movie is shown that it hasn't worked.

Sid and Nancy (1986): It's about the relationship of Sid, the bassist of the Sex Pistols, a punk group, and Nancy, his girlfriend. In the movie they fall into drugs, Nancy gives heroin to Sid, and finally Nancy dies murdered. It's a film based on real ed, but Johnny Rotten, lead singer of the Sex Pistols, says that's a lie. Real or not, it's a very interesting film.

Transpotting(1996): This film is about a group of people who live only by drugs. They are addicted to heroin or alcohol. One of them, Mark, decides to stop drugs and do something useful. It's very interesting the philosophy of life that he has while he is within the world of drugs, without responsabilities or worries, cares only get more drugs.


Check your Language and Structure. Can you correct your mistakes?

I can improve my pronunciation and my entonation. Maybe I should use more fillers.
