PENSAMIENTOS SUBORDINADOS:

An I-pad is an extraordinary device; however, it is not affordable for me at the moment. Although I think it will be one of the first things I will buy when I start to work. I can use an I-pad to complete exercises while I travel by bus, whereas I can’t use my I-pad to complete exercise while I’m driving. When I will have sons I will give them my Ipad so that they can use it and learn with it. An I-pad is good for children not only because it is easy to use but also because is highly-interactive and sturdy.

4º ESO: hospitals

Read this interview, look for the words you don't know and prepare for tomorrow's questions:

INTERVIEWER	Our guest tonight is Lewis Smith, an interior designer who works at St. James’ hospital. So Lewis, why are hospitals such depressing places?
LEWIS	Well, basically it’s because there’s no decoration. Hospitals are functional buildings so there’s nothing attractive or special in them. Every hospital in every town has green walls, ugly plastic floors, and very few paintings or ornaments. It’s not surpising people get depressed there, is it?
INTERVIEWER	No, no, it isn’t. So what can we do to make hospitals nicer places?
LEWIS	First of all we should remember that hospitals are used by people- patients. And people feel better if they are in pleasant, colourful rooms.
INTERVIEWER	That’s true
LEWIS	So, hospitals should have paintings on the wall, nothing weird or shocking though, soft, gentle colours which are relaxing and pleasant to look at and curtains. Curtains make a room look brighter and more like home
INTERVIEWER	And what about flowers? They’re important too, aren’t they?
LEWIS	Oh yes, flowers always make us feel happy. That’s why we often give them to people who are in hospital. They look lovely and also they smell great. This is very important in hospitals where often there are a lot of offensive smells
INTERVIEWER	Yes, there are, aren’t there? Well, thank you Lewis, that was very interesting.
LEWIS	Thank you

Crisis

Unemployment

Bailout

Money

Jobs

Banks

Eviction (evict: echan de casa y tiene que seguir pagando la casa)

Crisis is a period of time when there is a rise in unemployment because the financial system doesn’t work. It is a period when there are a lot of unemployed people and a lot of people can´t pay even their houses.

Who is to blame?

I think politicians are responsible of this crisis because they are the only one who can make decisions with the public money. Also, the lack of values of the society has made this crisis grow and grow.

Banks are also responsible because they give mortgages to people who can’t pay them.

Do you think we will find a solution?

The solution is difficult to find but with time there will find it

How is this crisis affecting you and your environment?

There are more unemployed people, even people who had not never been unemployed.

Shops and restaurants are almost empty. Shops are closing and people are sad.

WHY DO PEOPLE BUY BRANDS?

BECASUSE PEOPLE NEED TO BUY PRODUCTS THAT THE BRAND OFFER

IN ADDITION TO THIS, BRANDS OFFER REALIABE PRODUCTS

PEOPLE TRUST BRANDS

PEOPLE SHOW THEIR  SOCIAL STATUS

BRANDS SHOWS SOCIAL STATUS

BRANDS ALLOWS YOU TO IDENTIFY AS A MEMBER OF A SOCIAL GROUP

BRANDS MAKE ADVERTISEMENTS THAT CONVICE US TO BUY THEM

BRANDS CAN BE SYNONYM OF QUALITY

Why do you think some people dislike brands?

-         BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE A MEMBER OF A GROUP

-         BECAUSE BRAND PRODUCTS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE AND TOP OF THE RANGE

-         BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES WITH A BRAND

-         BRANDS DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN VALUE FOR MONEY AND YOU CAN FIND PRODUCTS WITH SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS WITH A CHEAPER PRIZE. A BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY

Marca blanca = generic brand

3. How loyal are you to the brands you have chosen?

It depends on the product. I buy Coca-cola becase I don’t like other brands

Whenever I buy clothes, I go to Zara, Strav… (Inditex group)

You always buy Delta brands because the is the coffee that I like most

I’m not loyal to any brand. I buy the cheapest

Although generic brands are cheaper and may offer good quality, is it not always fair to just copy a product of another brand.
