When I opened the paper my mind just went blank but I got myself together :rolleyes: I picked 2 and 3. I don't know how good my grammar/accuracy was but I had lots of examples to back it up. My teacher said she thought it was a fair paper. All I can say- I am glad we never see the mark :uhhuh:

J'ai choisi questions 1 + 2 mais je pense que je les ai aborde dans une facon un peu bizarre... pour le question de competition j'ai parle des impacts du mondialisation et de la technologie sur le monde du travail et comme ces deux choses a augmente le chomage (et alors le competition pour trouver et puis garder un boulot) et aussi comment le mondialisation a cree une competition globale entre les grand enterprises et meme les pays eux-meme sur une envergure economique globale.. mais apparament la plupart de gens pensaient pas de "competition" dans cette facon... alors j'espere que c'etait ca va.

Aussi - vous tous parlez pour combien de temps? Pour moi je pense c'etait 4 minutes pour le premier et 3 minutes 30 pour le deuxieme.

I spoke for about 2.30min for each monologue.
In the first one(about the people ignoring the poor Q2) I spoke about charity organisations like World Vision as well as celebrities raising awareness, I also mentioned what organisations like Red Cross and Salvation armies do to help the poor and les journaux de rue (The Big Issue and Cause Celebre in France).
For my second monologue (Q3) I talked about 2 types of violence- private and public. Public being world issues like terrorism, transnational crimes etc I used examples like September 11 which shocked the world at first but since violence shocked us as much. I also spoke about Cronulla Riots as a local example, mentioning that out of both events we have been able to increase our security and sculpture an appropriate response to violence such as government passing new laws etc. For private violence I spoke how domestic violence has been recognised as a criminal act and is punishable by law however it doesn't shock the society.
