Self evaluation of my oral presentation
Two weeks ago, I did an oral presentation of an American humor program named The late late show with James Corden.
First of all I think that the presentation was good but I could improved it. I used the powerpoint program to do my oral presentation. I think that the resources are focused on the topic, because I put pictures of the program in every diapositive, but I thing that i could put some especial effects and more pictures. Also I put a video. The timing was good, I did the presentation in six minutes.
On the another hand, my body lenguage was good, I was looking the audience in every moment and making good estures but I was a little bit nervous and I read a part of the powerpoint what makes my mark get down.
Also the structure was very good but I commit an error, I didn't ask to the audience if they had any question.
Secondly, the content was for me very good, I introduced new information to the audience, the information was detailed but no so extensive, I gived them examples using pictures, etc. I think that the problem was that I didn't explained it clear, I was nervous and this affects me a lot.
My lenguage can improve a lot because in the presentation I didn't used any fillers and connectors. But I used a good grammar and a variated vocabulary.
Finally my pronunciation, it was bad for me because when you are nervous you don't take control of your voice, but also people could comprend my explanations.
In conclusion, I think that I have to improve a lot to have a good mark and try to no put nervous.

Challenges of the moment
Nowadays there are three challenges that everybody wants to do. This challenges are: The mannequin challenge, Andy is coming challenge and Trump is coming challenge. People record it and post in social medias.
The Mannequin Challenge is a viral Internet video trend where people remain frozen in action like mannequins while a video is recorded, usually with the song "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd playing in the background. There are a lot of famous people what have made this challenge. For example Cristiano Ronaldo with Portugal selection, Obama, Britney Spears, etc...
Andy is coming challenge consists of falling to the ground and freezing, just as the characters in Toy Story do when their owner Andy enters the room. This challenge has been made for high school students, american football players, etc.
And finally Tump is coming challenge is similar at Andy is coming challenge, but this is a little bit more popular. It consists in people shouting and evacuating the premises immediately once someone shouts that President-elect Donald Trump is on his way.
In my opinion the best of thisn three challenges is the mannequin challenge. My frienda and I are trying to do it. It's so funny. I'm excited to see new viral challenges!

Personal opinion:
In my opinion Kevin should not have done what he had done because if we were famous, we also were stressed for all fans that would took you, take pictures of you, etc. All these things together make you explode and react. Thats what happened, Justin was stressed and reacted like this. But poor Kevin. he was very disappointed with his idol.

Facebook bug 'kills' users in 'terrible error'
An unusual bug on Facebook briefly labelled many people as dead. The error occurred on Friday, when the social network showed a memorial banner on user profiles for people who were still alive.
So when you visit a friend or familiar profile you saw a memorial banner anouncing that this person is dead. Users posted status to anounce thas their friends and family were not dead, despite Facebook's message. Including Mark Zuckerberg was dead according Facebook.
After all of this problems, a Facebook spokesperson said sorry for the bug and that they will fix it.
The memorial feature was introduced by Facebook in 2015 because of a number of high-profile cases where family wanted to access the social accounts of deceased loved ones. When somebody dies his family could choose if the account will be deleted or will turn into a memorial page where friends can send support messages.
Personal opinion
In my opinion this is a crazy bug becouse if you are visiting a friend or family profile and you see that this person is dead you're going to scare. But for another part is cool because a lot of people takes it with humour and said things like this: " So glad the Facebook hoax was wrong and I'm not dead".
Vocabulary
Banner: cartell.
Hoax: broma.
Labelled: etiquetar.

Vine Is Closing Down, and the Internet Can’t Stand It
Vine is a six-second video app owned by Twitter. The app spawned some stars like Logan Paul, King Bach, Alissa Violet, etc. Also improved upon the best thing about Twitter funny tweets by adding audio and visual snippets. Some of it was total nonsense, and that’s why it was so great.
But Twitter said that nowadays this app doesn't give profit, people don't use it becouse in Instagram you also can post videos. This popular social network have more audience that Vine and this is the reason of his close. All Vine stars leave this app for post in Instagram.

Vine said in a medium post that it would close down in the coming months.
People are scared because there are a lot of good and funny videos inthis social network and if it disappear the videos will disappear with it. But that's what people thought because Vine said that it would figure out ways for users to keep and store their favorite pieces of six-second art.
Personal opinion:
In my opinion is so sad that a social network that was on the top is going to disappear. I remember moments that I was watching Vine videos with my friends and we laughted a lot, that were a very good moments. But now all this videos are going to Instagram so for me there's no problem because I use it everyday.
Vocabulary:
App: aplicació.
Snippets: fragments.
Spawn: engendrar.

Social Networks
Social networks had change our lives. They did changed the way we communicate, the way of doing things, etc. Nowadays people usually use social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter...
Internet is another world, there you can be a person absolutely different from real life. There you can post pictures, send messages to friends that you not usually see, post opinions of a concretly theme, etc, and a lot of things more.
Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, this social network did improve a lot, there you can add friends simply searching his name in the browser, you can post pictures and also people can react to your picture giving you a like or leaving a comment. In Facebook you can meet a lot of people but this can be dangerous if you don't take care. There are a lot of people what commit crime through Facebook.
In my opinion, Facebook had been a good social network in the past because I used to be all time connected on it, also it was the first social network I'd have. Currently I use another social network named Instagram.
Now, Instagram is one of the most popular social network. It was created by Kevin Systrom in 2010. It changed a lot, there you can post pictures and videos. In Instagram, you can tag people in a picture, also you can give like and comment if you like a photo like Facebook. The thing what makes popular Instagram was the hashtags. In Instagram you can follow people that you want to see his pictures.
Finally another sovial network that is increasing a lot is Snapchat. This social network is only avalible for smartphones. It consist in post photos and videos that people only could see it during one day. When a day passed, the picture or video is automatically deleted.
This are only an example of social network, there are a lot but I wanted to explain a little bit these. I know that my explanation is so short but if I wold explain it well I could make another Treball de Recerca!
