Tiger decline is 'sign of world's failure'


Tiger numbers are continuing to fall. Organised crime rings are increasing part in illegal trading of tiger parts. Also interpol is working to track the internationatl trade. The decline is seen in the most poor countries. These are some sentences that experts have said about this issue. "If we use tiger numbers as a performance indicator, then we must admit that we have failed miserably and that we are continuing to fail,"

"Although the tiger has been prized throughout history, and is a symbol of incredible importance in many cultures and religions, it is now literally on the verge of extinction."

Even though government agencies including police and customs needed to step up efforts to combat the illegal trade, there are many countries who don't respect the animals, for example China and other Asian countries are the principal consumers of tiger parts.

It is said that China is a big treath to the wild animals. The tiger product trade, and to ensure that breeding operations are "consistent with the conservation of wild populations".

Self-evaluation

Presentation: 7
I agree with my classmates who think that, that day I was too nervous, because I didn't prepare it enough maybe... But for my surprise It was been better than I was thought in a first moment. However, finally I decided to do it, as a result, too many stops. My other problem was that I didn't see the people, perhaps because If I had seen them, I would have been too nervous.

Body language: 7
Well, my levels in English didn't let me to use high vocabulary, however I used the specific words about my research issue like reactive plaster, needle and others. In general good, but I think it would be better.

Structure: 7
Sincerely, the order of explanation was the correct, but instead the video I could have broght the material to pick up myself for example to explain better the method which diabetics still everyday. Definitely I have a 7 too in this part because I think I could have done different.

Content: nearly 30
Here it doesn't depends on my the mark, because maybe there were a variety of opinions about content. It depends on every person and if he likes the topic.

Language: 14
In my opinion I never use high language like other classmates, and it is a problem because in this case if I don't learn high vocabulary I won't improve my level and instead of good marks there will be normal marks. However, before every oral presnetation I revise the links.

Pronunciation:6
Well in this apart a lot of people have problems except natives and other good students. I don't have a matture pronunciation yet but I think it was good than other times. Sonia said me the words that I didn't said good and If my memory doesn't lie me, they are "hereditary", "issue", "characterized" and "prova" thats it is prove or test.

To conclude, maybe I put myself a high mark, but in my opinion the oral was better than the first.

Sorry people, for the moment I don t put the video but I am trying to do it.
