3º & 4º British: your exam!



Hello everybody!

As previously explained, this term you will have an alternative to exam. To get the 60% of the mark this term you will write a special essay (that is, your opinion) about a specifical topic. And today is the day!

Read carefully the following newspaper article: Geopolitics after covid-19 (in Spanish). Yes, it is long (7 pages) but after all this activity is replacing an exam so it should be a bit demanding, don’t you think so?

You have to write an essay with your personal opinion about it. Do you agree or desagree with the article? Why? What is the sentence o fragment that shock you the most and why? As is “opinion”, all answers will be valid BUT remember that you must write fully developed and well argumented explanations, ok?

Specifical requirements:

The essay must contain minimun 40 lines (times new roman 12 – simple line spacing, as in the article) and must be sent in pdf format.

You must also include comments to the following sentences:

  • “La última fase de la globalización comenzó en 1989 y quizás termine hoy, con el coronavirus”. (Page 1 - line nº 24) Do you think that the economy will change after this situation? Why?

  • “Las plagas afectan con distinta intensidad a diferentes clases socioeconómicas” (Page 3 - line nº 2) Do you agree or disagree? Why? If yes, how?

  • “Quedan claras las prioridades del globalismo: por encima de la propia vida humana está el dinero”. (Page 3 - line nº 37) Do you agree or disagree? Why?

  • “El espacio hispano-americano como el espacio euro-mediterráneo, que deberían unirse en defensa de la idea de solidaridad, comunidad y pacto inter-generacional”. (Page 6 - line nº 6) Do you agree or disagree? Why? Do you think that those institutions would work better than the European Union? Why?

  • To sum up your essay, answer the article’s final question: ¿La sociedad al servicio de la economía, o la economía al servicio de la sociedad? (Page 7 - line nº 7)

When finish, send it as attached file to blogeducativo08@gmail.com. LAST DAY: FRIDAY, 29 MAY.


Ready? Steady?... go! Good luck!
