Task about being a teenager:

-Its possibly true that teenagers feel alot of pressure when they go to school or things like that. I feel like we should be able to handle this pressure. Think about when you become an adult, you dont get more stressfull than being an adult, and we youths should learn to handle pressure or stress. This is a normal thing in life these days. School and homework is nothing. Think about being a parent with 3 children, including you go to work in your spare time. You have to be able to help your children with their homework, just at the same time you have to clean your house, and just after that you go to work. This is a stressfull life not our life. We only care about homework and to get ready for school. Not all of the responsibilitys as an adult. We shouldnt complain, but our mom and dad should.

I got a bit out of topic here, but here are some words that i would like to include.

Mob Psychology: This is a term that says for example ''If somone in a group or your friend wants you to do something you dont want to. But they do it, so you feel a pressure on yourself that also you should do the same thing.

Impressionable: This says that people are easily talked into doing stuff. It can be all from just talking you into going somewhere, or talked you into having a cigarette.

Spine: Everyone can feel the pressure of having a lot of stress on your spine. This eventually means that you feel a pressure on yourself every day.

 

Task Viewpoint page 30 

Viewpoint 1: I think it means that if you want to change your child from something bad you should change yourself first. This means that the problem probably comes from the parents themself, and not the child. That the fault doesnt lay in the child itself, but maybe the parents. It maybe that even the parents doesnt have a fault in this, but we think so. This is up to the individual person to see if its their or their parents fault. It lays way within who they are with in their freetime, and how their parents raise them.

ENGLISH TASKS

English Task;




1. They actually sound quite similiar. The only actually differnce between them is the message they are trying to get across with their songs.

2. Simon and Garfunkel sings about being alone. And that they dont need anybody to survive. They can be alone and that works great for them. Gerry and  The peacemaker sings about walking together trough pain, and that however you feel you will never walk alone. The difference is that the first song is all about being alone, while the other is about being toghether.

3.I liked the song from Gerry and the peacemakers, because they sing about walking together trough the pain, and that you will never walk alone trough that. Together we can achieve many things and that means success.

No man is an island: The poem is mainly about that we are not as small as an island, we men are bigger than that, and if we see that somone else is having a struggle, we feel for them and we dont like that. Thats because we care for eachother and we dont like seeing somone struggle.
