WORK SHOP FINAL EVALUATION

FOURTH TERM (9)

1. Hacer un video de 3 minutos acerca de una noticia deportiva , el estudiante debe explicar en tiempo pasado y
utilizando 10 verbos de los vistos en clase un echo deportivo, la transcripsion debe ser anexada a este trabajo y
deben estar resaltados los verbos.

2. READING

a) There are more rich people in the world today than in the past. Many of these people give money to charities.
Some people believe that these rich business people could give more than just money. For example they could help
charities to be good businesses. Charities need to make money and use it in the best way for them, like any other
business. A business expert can help them.

b) Office social events are popular in America, but not so much in Britain. Companies think social events are a good
way for people to meet informally. Organising picnics, however, has some disadvantages. For example, the weather can
be bad, the children can be noisy, and some people do not like eating outside with insects flying around. Other people
are worried that the food is not fresh, which could make them ill.

c) So you like to keep your desk tidy? Some people do and some people don’t. Which is best: a tidy desk or an untidy
one? Research tells us that there are usually two types of people: the filer who files documents immediately and the
piler who leaves documents all over the desk. It is interesting that people who have untidy desks are not always
disorganised. They usually know where everything is.

Read the paragraphs below. Are the statements true (T) or false (F)?
1 Rich people often give money to charity. _________
2 Rich people usually give more than money. _________

4. Ask ten questions and answers about Donald Trump Biography.

Donald Trump Biography

Donald Trump (1946 – ) is the 45th President of the US. For many years he was
chairman and president of the Trump Organisation, which has a diverse range of business and real estate
businesses. Trump also rose to prominence through his appearance in The Apprentice (U.S.) a reality tv show
where contestants bid for the opportunity to head one of Trump’s companies.

Donald Trump was born 14 June 1946, in Queens, New York to German immigrant parents. His father Fred
Trump was a successful real estate developer.

Donald attended the private Kew-Forest school, Fordham University and then the Wharton School of Business
at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1968 with a degree in economics. He was eligible for the
Vietnam draft but received deferments for being a student, and later a medical deferment, attributed to heel
spurs in both feet.

After leaving university, he worked with his father in real estate development in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten
Island. In the 1970s, with help from his father, he then moved to Manhattan, where Trump created the Trump
Organisation.

“It was good for me,” Donald later commented. “You know, being the son of somebody, it could have been
competition to me. This way, I got Manhattan all to myself.”

His business interests expanded, taking in hotels, casinos, Trump Shuttle airline and a mega-yacht. For Trump,
the key attraction of his work was often in negotiating a deal.

“I don’t do it for the money. I’ve got enough, much more than I’ll ever need. I do it to do it. Deals are my art
form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big
deals. That’s how I get my kicks.”

– Donald Trump, The Art of the Deal (1987)

In 1991, losses from the Taj Mahal Casino forced Trump into bankruptcy, but he sold off parts of his business
and was able to continue in business.

A distinctive feature of Trump’s business and real estate ventures has been the prominent use of his own
name. For example, Trump World Tower, Trump Place and Trump clothing ranges. Trump is also a keen golfer
and has brought many golf courses across the world, including Ireland and Scotland.

Many real estate property dealers and businesses have paid to license the Trump brand name. However, since
his presidential election campaign of 2015 and 2016, many have sought to distance themselves from Trump’s
controversial political views on Mexicans, women and Muslims. Retailers, such as Macy’s have dropped Trump-
branded products.
Net Worth of Donald Trump

In 2012, Trump declared his own net worth at around $7 billion. In 2015, Forbes estimated his net worth at $4
billion. When running for Presidential candidate in 2015, Trump claimed a net worth in excess of ten billion
dollars, though he said it can fluctuate with markets.

Trump was given $40 million from his father in 1974 (1)

Before the 2016 Presidential election, he refused to release his income tax returns – breaking with tradition.
The New York Times released a tax return from 1995 which showed that Trump lost $916m in a single
year and as a result could use tax laws to avoid paying federal taxes for 18 years, a charge he did not deny.

Other interests

From 1996 to 2015, Trump owned part of Miss Universe beauty pageants. Though Trump sold his interests in
2015, after a dispute over his presidential address on Mexican immigrants.

Television

In 2003, Trump became the executive producer of the NBC programme – The Apprentice. It was one of the
most popular tv programmes, with Trump selecting a candidate to gain a job in his business. During the
series, Trump would fire the unsuccessful candidates with the catchphrase “You’re fired”

Politics

Trump has had mixed political affiliations. He has been both a registered Democrat and Republican. He has
given money to both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates. He was critical of both George Bush
presidencies and said Bill Clinton was one of the best modern presidents. Since 2012, he has been in the
Republican party and in 2015 announced his intention to seek the Republican candidacy.

During the 2016 primaries, his outsider persona made him an unexpected front-runner – dismaying the
Republican establishment. Through the campaign, Trump projected a populist appeal. He has focused on
dealing with electorate’s fears over immigrants and terrorism. His campaign slogan is “We are going to make
our country great again.”

He also projected himself as a Washington outsider – from the private business sector rather than the political
establishment, and a willingness to “tell it like it is” – with a willingness to be politically incorrect.

Trump’s controversial policies include the suggested deportation of illegal immigrants in the US.

On social issues he is conservative, declaring himself pro-life. He also is opposed to gun control and favours
replacing the Affordable Care Act with a free market plan.

He has called global warming a “total hoax created by the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-
competitive.” He supports increased fracking and is opposed to wind power.

Throughout his campaign, Trump’s controversial statements seemed to attract more popular support. As
Trump himself stated on 23 January 2016
