Corporal Punishment at School

This week we watched the level five's debate. The resolve of one of the group was "Corporal Punishment should be legal at school". This debate was really interesting. The Pro team was Korean and the Con team was European. Through this debate we can really see the difference of the culture and the education in different countries. Even if I'm European I'm Pro the Corporal Punishment at school. Last year in France some students stabbed their teacher or another beat them. It's totally disrespect for the education. And maybe with the Corporal Punishment there were more respect between student and teacher at school.

A Summer Weather For a November Month

LA weather is awesome! I can't beleive that it is November 19th, and that I was in t-shirt in the street today! I was still at the beach last weekend! When I call my family on skype, they wear sweaters and the heater is on. It's really cold outside. It's a real Winter there. But here, it is like the end of Summer. And I'm surprised to see a christmas tree next to a palm tree, with a beautiful blue sky and a hot sun! Even if I like this weather, I can't wait to go back home and be cold, walk in the snow, and warm myself around the fireplace! 

First Debates

Today, we made the two first debates of the class. The one on the Gay Marriage, and the one on the World Currency. To make it simple, it was a DESASTER! The groups were not ready, there was no action, it was slow, boring, really not attractive and furthermore Susan was interrupt them all the time. I think we were not enough prepared, and we should do a simulation before the day of the debate. I hope it will be better for my team, and actually I'm pretty sure it will be better, because I'll use the mistakes of the others to improve my debate!

Dexter

Do you know that TV show? Dexter? I love it! It is the story about a man who work with the police the day and who is a serial killer the night. Dexter kills only the murderers who managed to escape the juridical system. He has to keep his secret from his family. That I love the most in this TV show is that nobody can find him. He knows perfectly his job and I like his character. The presentation of the show is also really impressive. I started to watch this TV show because of my boyfriend, and now I'm addicted!

Comparison

I'm going to compare Ginny the character of the movie Rocket Science and 6 the character of the book Syrup by Maxx Barry. These two characters are first two girls. They got a straight objective: be the best. For Ginny it's in debate and for 6 it's in marketing. They also have a problem with their relationship. They can't accept to be loved by someone because of their career or objective. It's why in both story they reject Hal and Scat. In the book, 6 changes her position, she evolves. She lets Scat come in her life. We don't know what will happen to Ginny in the future. It is the only difference that I can see between these two girls. I think that these characters are pretty much similar.

Syrup

Syrup by Maxx Barry is a book we are reading with my class. It tells the story of Scat a young man who wants the American Dream. He crosses several difficulties to reach his goal. It is such a NICE book! Besides to be a very good book it's also an easy reading book. You can't stop read it. You want to know what's happen next! It out yourself in the story. I was stressed, happy, bad, for what's happen to the characters. I felt the feelings of them. I just finish it because I really wanted to know the end of this book. And I'm really happy of it! I recommend this book to everyone

Funny Name For a Club

This weekend, we wanted to go to a club in Hollywood with my friends. We hesitate, during a moment, and one of my firend said "Hey guys! Let's go to My House!" I looked at him and said "Why do you want us to go to your house? If you make a party, it's better to make it at My House, it's bigger!" And my friend answered "Yeah I told you let's go to My House!" Actually My House was the name of the club! It was so funny because nobody knew!  Finally we went to My House and it was a very funny night.
