Cons and pros of moving to a foreign country

Publicado  Tuesday, February 15, 2011

Nowadays it is very common, especially among the youth, to move permanently to a foreign country. The vast majority of “movers” change country in order to find work, or because they are offered a better job than they had. However, this decision, usually taken too lightly, has its cons and its pros.

On one hand, moving to another country has many good aspects. To begin with, it is a very good opportunity to learn from another culture and get to know different people. Moreover, in a multicultural world as the one we are living in, it is useful to travel and discover different ways of life. But above all, moving to a foreign country is a challenge that brings new experiences and opportunities both in the professional and social field.

On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages that should be taken into account. In the first place, the adaptation can be hard, especially when moving to countries with very different culture. Learning the language might also be difficult if the destination is not an English-speaking land. Finally, in some countries it may be tricky to get the nationality, a reason that holds many people back, when considering to move.

Having a look at those advantages and disadvantages, I believe that moving to a foreign country is a very good opportunity for those who are looking for a new way of life. I strongly recommend it to any open-minded and daring person: I’m sure the experience will be worth it!

A life changing decision

Publicado  

Everyone enjoys a change, a new look, a new car, or maybe even a new life style! It is becoming more and more frequent for people to move to a foreign country.



A new start is always welcoming. Moving to another country means being able to change your life for the better. For instance, earning a higher income can enable you to have a higher standard of life. Another reason for moving could be the weather, having to put up with grey days can be difficult and a tropical breeze is usually more tempting.

Although there are also downfalls to moving abroad. Having to leave your friends and family behind is hard and so is learning a new language. On top of this getting used to a new culture is difficult and you can feel disoriented at the being, it can even be stressful.

Overall from a personal experience I think moving to a foreign country is a life time experience.
I can guarantee you that there will bad times, but getting the chance to learn the ways of a new culture and its people is so gratifying that problems that don't make you weaker will only make you stronger!

Sil school concert

Introduction

This report analyses the different varieties of venues for the school concert held on the 26th of March 2010. Out of the various possibilities I have reduced the options to two.

Outdoor performance

We could consider holding the event outdoors, in the playground area. This location can accommodate a large number of people and since it will be late spring the weather will be perfect. The only downfall is that the sound quality will be quite poor.

The Auditorium

The main hall would be a great option for the concert considering that it is located indoors where there is a greater sound quality. There is also a stage which will improve the performance. Sadly there is not as much space as there is outdoors.

Conclusion

Overall I think the auditorium would be the appropriate venue for the school concert. It is the most well-equipped space for this type of show.

SCHOOL CONCERT

Publicado  

INTRODUCTION

I have recently talked with the band, called Blue Day, and we have planned everything except the place where the concert it is going to be celebrated. We thought about different venues, but we have narrowed the list into two.

1st OPTION

On the one hand we have the main hall, where are usually celebrated all the important meetings. It is quite big and there is a lot of space but we could mess it. The drink of some students, or teachers, could end up lying on the floor, and that could be a problem because every day teachers have meetings with parents, so that mean that after the party we will have to clean intensely the hall.

2nd OPTION

On the second hand, there is the theatre. It is smaller than the main hall but there, we could move and celebrate the party without the feeling that we are messing all. Moreover, there is a soundboard so someone could play music without having to bring an MP3 or IPod.

CONCLUSION

Finally, I would like to say that we, the band and me, don't mind where it is going to be, but Tom, the guitarist, says that it could be better in the theatre because of the sounds. There, we have the soundboard, and the guitar will sound amazingly.

Subject: School concert

Introduction

This report deals into the different venues for organising the concert for the school. After discussing them, we have narrowed the list down to two options.


1st option: SIL Auditorium

On one hand, we could organise the concert in the school auditorium. It would be free, that is to say, that we won’t have to pay any rent for it, so the entrance will be free. However it has not got a lot of capacity, and the sound quality and the lights effects are quite limited.


2nd option: BeCool local

On the other hand, we have the possibility of renting this local. It is situated in Joan Llongueras plaza, near Hospital Clinic, so this means that everyone can get there easily. It is much bigger than the school auditorium and, moreover it is prepared for concerts, so that means that the sound quality, effects and all that staff it is going to be better than the school. In spite of this, as we have to rent it, and the price is around 500 €, we will have to sell tickets (5 € each) for entering there, so it won’t be free.


Conclusion

After considering the options, I would recommend holding the concert in the BeCool local. Although we have to pay, I consider it the best option because the concert quality will be fantastic and it is going to be enjoyed a lot by everybody. Moreover 5 € it is not really expensive and as we expect more than 100 concertgoers, we will have enough money to rent it and, furthermore we are going to be able to donate the extra founds earned to the school. I think that this option is the ideal one.

REPORT

Introduction

After discussing the posible places where we can do the concert to celebrate the carnival party, the whole band have thought about two places.

Auditorium

The first place where we have thought about is the auditorium. There is a capacity for all the ESO students. The only problem is that it is not in the open-air and probably the music will sound bad.

Playground

The other option is to play on the playground. This would be better because is in the open-air and there's no limit of capacity. For the first reason, the sound will be better and we have looked for any disadvantage but at first sight we don't find nothing.

Conclusion

We think that the most appropiate place is the playground because this year carnival is later than other years, so the weather will be good for staying outside. Finally, we can collect money with a ticket for the entrance that can cost two euros per person.

School Concert
Introduction
I have discuss with the band that it is going to play in the concert, and we have two options that the most viable and logic.

Theatre
The theatre is a good place, because there is a cabin with a mixer where you can plug all the instruments for the band, but there is no space for all and without space, there are fewer benefits

The red court
The red court can welcome more people, but there are some disadvantages, the weather it is not precisely an advantage, and the sound from the music may be distorted. Moreover, some people have rejected this idea of playing in the red court.

Conclusion
In my opinion the best option is the theatre because we can solve the idea of the space, the mixer will be an extra help for them and we all can listen the music from there. It is said that in Saturday will rain, and it will not be a good idea playing in the red court
