-Hello everybody, as you all know my name is Sònia and today I’m going to explain my research project which is about the evolution of the language and the intelligence of the children.

Introduction...

I chose this topic because I’ve always wanted to be a teacher of children.
My research project studies how the children’s intelligence evolves since they are born until they are three years old.

Some of my objectives are:
-To have a mini base of what I should know about the evolution of the Language and the intelligence of children.
-See when the language appears and how it evolve.
 -Know if I really want to be a teacher in the future.
  
Why a language is so important…?

Human beings are social people and that’s why we really need the language; to communicate ideas, wishes, feelings, etc, so we need it to communicate to each other.

The oral expression...

It’s by oral expression that children begin learning how to express themselves, had a better pronunciation, expand their vocabulary, improve the syntax, among many other things. This means that there is a large growth of the language, which is achieved only listening and speaking.

But they can also achieve it by the dialogue which structure thinking and reinforces the security and self-esteem.
Another form is by Tales which help the develop of the imagination, understanding, speaking and thinking better.

The three mechanisms of language acquisition are:

 -The Imitation (try to imitate)
 -The Observation
 -The Game
First the children obsreve all what happens around them, and then they try to imitate it. Another mecanism is the game because in the game appears the dialogue.

The psycholinguistic development in the early years is divided in two stages:

-The Pre-linguistic stage.
-The Linguistic or verbal stage.
The most relevant features in the linguistic stage are that then appear the first words and sentences.

The structure of the first phrases of the children are:
        -Noun + verb: “Nena canta”.
        - Noun + adverb : “Galeta més”; “Galeta no”.
        -Noun + noun: “Pilota taula”; “cadira mama”.
        -The personal pronoun "I" appears when he/she is 3 years, before he refers to himself by the personal pronoun "He"/"She"/by his/her name.
In the linguistic stage appears the negative "no" (when the children only say no to all).
The children's vocabulary is 150 words (when they are 2 years) and 1500 words (when they are 3years).
One of the important things is: To Do not forget that parents are models to follow for what they do more than what they say.

And that’s all...
I hope you all have enjoi it...
And thanks you so much for you attention.
Have you got any question?

-Hello as you all know my name is Sònia and today I’m going to talk about some cartoons which made us laugh when we were kids.

First I’m going to talk about “Tom and Jerry”, then about “Les tres bessones” or “The triplets” and finally I’m going to talk about “Shin Chan”.

Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry is an American Cartoon.

The characters are Tom and Jerry.

Tom is a cat and Jerry is a mouse and they both live in the same house.

They don’t speak, so it means that you have to interpret whatever they do.

Tom always tries to catch Jerry because it’s his work/job, although he rarely gets Jerry because Jerry is faster, smaller, more intelligent and moreover Jerry can hides himself anywhere.

Normally Tom prepares traps to catch Jerry but then Jerry tries to take revenge and he always gets it.

Sometimes they live like friends although it’s not the normal way.

Shin Chan

It’s a Japanese cartoon.

The main characters are Shin Chan, a five years old boy, iroxi, missae, himawari and nevat. Moreover there are his friend kasama, botxan, masao, nene… And the teachers yoxinaga and matsusaka.

Shin Chan is a very naughty child and his parents and teachers are always angry with him.

The thing he likes the most are all the girls that he sees.

And the thing he hates the most is the pepper.

As I said before he has a dog called nevat but he always forgots to takes care of him.

His favorite TV program is Ultraeroi.

Les “tres bessones” or “the triplets”

It’s a Catalan cartoon.

The characters are three small girls called Ana, Tresa and Helena, and a witch with her owl.

When the witch is bored, she sends the triplets into a tale, and then they have to help the main character of these tales to solve his/her problems, although the witch doesn’t want it and tries to make them fail.

 Fortunately she never get it and tales always have a happy end.

In Conclusion, the one I prefer when I was little was the triplets because I learnt lots of stories…

And that’s all…I hope you have enjoyed…And have you got any question?

Pet Abandonment

INTRODUCTION

Good afternoon everybody, as all you know my name is Sònia and today I’m going to talk about the abandonment of pets, especially about the abandonment of dogs. First of all, I’m going to explain the causes, secondly I’m going to explain the consequences and finally I’m going to give my opinion.

Causes…

The main causes of the abandonment of pets are that families or people fail to take charge and abandoned them.

The abandonment of pets begins at Christmas when most of the people give pets to their children or grandchildren, first it’s so excited especially for the children but in the end the children and their parents fail to take charge and abandon them. Most of the abandonments take place in summer because families want to go traveling and don’t know what to do with their pets, that is when they decide to leave them where nobody sees them and far away from home.

Consequences…

In 2008 there were around 3000 traffic accident caused by the dogs abandonment in the roads.

If you abandon your dog you should realize that this could have a physical or psychological injury, and he can also die.

Conclusion…

When you decide to have a pet, you have to consider that they live around 14, 15 or 16 years... and you should think if you can charge it or not.

I hope you have enjoyed this project. And have you got any question?
