we're writing this email to you because we would like to suggest possible school improvements. 
As you see, the buildings of our school are a little rundown and for the heath of the students we need to change that!  
Here are some ideas we would like  you to bear in mind:          improve the food served in the school canteen. We think tastier food would bring more students to eat here instead of choosing outdoor facilities to eat fast and unhealthy food. On the other hand, while we are having lunch, we can socialize and know better other students and users; Besides green spaces should be improved as school would become more attractive and enjoyable to the school community. As far as the Internet access is concerned, and  the technological equipment of the rooms, which most students don't have both, we think it is essential to have, since they would benefit our pedagogical and interactive activities in some lessons.
We also think renovations (mainly in building A) are required;
the extension in the opening hours of the following services: administrative,  bar and stationary.
In our opinion, to improve the school appearance, students in each course could paint walls and buildings (the mechanics and mechatronics course); the arts course students could make their own works of art and sell them; the scientific-humanistic course, socio-economic sciences and other professional courses students could sell raffle tickets and with the money, they collect, they could help afford some of the improvements.
    We appreciate your understanding and hope that our ideas and suggestions can be considered.
Yours Sincerely,
 
 Maria João and Sofia Abrantes

My favorite art form is communication science, most especially journalism. This art is very important because it allows us to be informed about what is happening in the world. Nowadays information comes through social networks and other forms of communication, which is fantastic but also very dangerous. Some information is fake news and if we fall into this we can have a wrong perspective of some information. Due to these cases, we have to be very careful and not accept everything as if it were true.
That's why my favorite type of art is journalism.]]> 2022-10-21 10:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaferreira16697/q4lwh01c4ph4hdvo/wish/2350506103 Page 65 mariaferreira16697 https://padlet.com/mariaferreira16697/q4lwh01c4ph4hdvo/wish/2451953283  Humanoid robots and human scientists working together is essential these days. 
Robots can have many qualities, including helping human beings in various tasks that humans can’t perform alone, such as: taking care of weight; coding programmes very difficult to solve; difficult operations in hospitals and many others.
 Firstly, it is important to point out that when something heavy has to be transported over a long distance, even with the help of fifteen humans, that object cannot be transported. Therefore, we have to resort to help the robots.
 Secondly, you are at work and someone is trying to hack your software system. Humanoid robots could create some virtual barriers solving the problem.
 Thirdly, when we refer to the difficulties that arise when doctors are performing an operation, we also need help from robots. With them, the results can be more accurate.
 In short, humanized robots and humans are better at working together than individually. Humans can never have the strength and intelligence of robots, but on the other hand, robots can never have a type of intelligence that is quite essential to life: emotional intelligence.

In our opinion, we agree with this statement.
  As technology advances, the way people work changes. With robots in today's world, human work facilities increase. To contrast this fact, it is possible to observe that this innovation can generate some unemployment and lead to precarious situations.
  With regard to health and the advances it has had due to technology, it can be said that everything is easier and more effective with the use of innovations. With the use of technology in our favor, diseases that affect people can be discovered more quickly. In addition to this fact, technology facilitates the work of doctors, as some malfunction may occur in the systems and in this way the problem can be diagnosed more quickly. 
To contrast, while there is some diagnosis, it can be misinterpreted. In addition to this fact, the malfunctions can be very serious and you may run the risk of doctors and health professionals knowing the problem.
 In conclusion, technology is indeed a great tool for the evolution of our daily lives, and for building a better and more evolved future.

I rate myself with a 16, as there were aspects that could have been addressed more effectively and I also think I should have prepared myself better for any questions the teacher asked.]]> 2023-02-24 16:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaferreira16697/q4lwh01c4ph4hdvo/wish/2494124680 10 things I hate about you mariaferreira16697 https://padlet.com/mariaferreira16697/q4lwh01c4ph4hdvo/wish/2498089028   10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 teen romantic comedy film directed by Gil Junger and starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik. It is quite interesting, to the point of transporting the viewer to the drama and teenage phase.
  This film focuses on the life of a girl, who, through a simple exchange of favors between the boys, got a boyfriend.
Speaking to Kat (the main character), she manages to convey the pain she is going through and makes it possible for the spectators to cry. Patrick, on the other hand, is the typical "Bad Boy" of secondary school, he portrays the very common attitude among teenagers, but shows some kind of affection.
   As it is from 1999, the image quality is quite reduced, but this is compensated by the soundtrack, the music adapts to the resulting scenes and enhances the feelings of the characters.
   The film was successful, both at the time of release and years after its release, for example, it is still watched today.
    In conclusion, I think you should see this film.

When I'm sick you kiss the pain away
Your tender voice took away my fears
Your hand that wiped away my tears
The love you give so honest and pure
Keeping me forever safe and secure
You make flowers bloom in the spring
It was you who fixed my broken wing
Mom, because of you I now know love
My guardian angel from above

Over the years, we have come across the increasingly rapid evolution of the world in different areas, such as women's emancipation, LGBT movements, and historical revolutions. However, there is an area that has undergone a great advance in such a short time, we are talking about technology.
Whether we like it or not, technology has become an integral part of the daily lives of many young people today. From social networking to education, technology has transformed the way young people communicate, learn, and interact with the world around them. 

Firstly, there are scientific studies that point to the fact that technology will be a reality in schools from now on, as several teachers already implement artificial intelligence in many classroom moments. 
From my point of view, this fact is a great advance, since the future of today's children will be completely technological. 
(In addition to this, it is important that students have sufficient technology bases to be autonomous in their professional lives.)
Secondly, the other aspect I want to mention is the use of technology in appropriate terms. I mean it can provide students with a more detailed and complete learning of the contents. With that kind of rigor, we will have well-prepared young people in society.
Thirdly, technology is always in constant evolution and it is important that students know how to untangle the problems they may encounter in this area, such as hacker attacks, a failure in the computer system...
It is very important that people know how to fix the fault.
To conclude, I think that all students should have access to technology, as well as mobile devices related to it, for all the reasons that have been addressed.
Thank you for your attention and I hope you take into account what has been said.]]> 2023-05-06 17:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaferreira16697/q4lwh01c4ph4hdvo/wish/2580455922
