The Help

You are Skeeler, you are writing to a very close friend of yours in NY.
You are shocked about some of the stories you've heard from the afroamerican house helpers.Write a letter of about 220-250 words.
Tell your friend some of the stories you have learnt fom them.

Hello Emma,

 I really miss you, how is life going? and how is your family? It's been so long since we last talked!
I am writing to you because i want to share with you some of the stories that i have learnt and heard from the afroamerican house helprs,about what is working in a white person's house is like, how the white people treat them, and how it feels working for them.After hearing all that, i have to tell you,that i am really shocked and i can't believe how battered they should feel.

To start with, i heard a story from an afroamerican house helper that left me amazed, what she said was that when she went to the house where she works and and went to wake up the little girl and change her diaper, the little girl was all dirty because the mother had not changed her during the night or day because she believes that the black house helper should change the baby's diapers.
Also, i had heard form another black house helper that as long as she has been working in that house,she can't use the toilet that is inside the house,because the white peple said that the afroamerican " infected" them with many differet diseases.So if she wants to go to the toilet she has to go to one that is outside the house,even thought when it is raining outside,they can't use the one that is indoors the house.Isn't that inhuman?
Apart from that, what i had heard from many black women is that white people made them feel really bad, because of the way they talk to them and how they treated them.They said that white people treat them as if they were dogs,and also they said that the white people shout at them and didn't respect them at all.
Another story that i heard from an afroamerican house helper, was about the son of one of them.This story was really shocking for me.What this woman said was that,one day her son was working in a white person's house,when he fell and got hurt.When the white person saw that,he took him to the hospital for black people, however, he didn't stay there, he left him lying there and the afroamerican died that day.
What's more,here in Mississippi there are a lot of restrictive laws and descrimination to black people, for example they have separate hospitals and bathrooms from the white people.White people never touch them or use the same things or utensills that a black use because they said that they can transmit diseases and can get infected.
To conclude, i wonder to ask you how are afroamerican house helpers treated in New York, because i really want to know.I  believe that were i live this people are treated very badly and they are really being descriminated all the time!

much love, Skeeler.

Helping students with oral presentations

Introduction;

The principal aims of this report are to provide solutions for some of the student's problems with their oral presentations.The final section makes recommendations as to how the following problems could be solved.

Speaking problematics:

Students generaly have problems with their fluency,because many times,They can not say a word after another,getting stuck and unable to advance.Another problem they have is pronunciation,students lack the knowledge of phonetics,that's why,they guess the sound of the words,and finish saying how they think it is pronunced.

Inconveniences in the premises;

One of the main problems students have is the lack of internet connection,many times they delivered their presentations with a prezi or with a presentation that requires Internet connection and when they don't have wi-fi,they can not download it and show it.Another problem is the lack of resources,many times students didn't have a screen or speakers to show their presentation to the rest and finish delivering their speech without anything to show such as a video,because they do not have how to show it.

Sources;

A very common problem that students have is the selection of information and material because they take the information from sources that are too  basic or use too vogue inappropriate vocabulary and not academic language.Apart from that they take the information from sources that are not academic,if not that they take it from places such as ¨yahoo answers¨, because it is very short and easy to understand,because of the basic vocabulary employed.

Solutions:

Clearly,many students have problems with oral presentation.However,there are many solutions,to end with these problems.I will make the following recommendations;

• Students should be self-confident and the school should help and persuade them to be like this.Apart from that students should study phonetics and school should provide a class of phonetics to help students.

• Students could download the presentation at ther house and bring it in a pendrive or maybe make posters.Apart from that the school could improve the premises.

• Students may look for key terms so as to filter information and provide new reliable sources.

To conclude,the school and students could make things to solve this problem.
