TEMA DE CONTROL NR 1.

1.In about 150 words, write your opinions regarding the structure of the Romanian
education and the opportunities it offers.
From my point of view, the Romanian education system is very complex. It contains a lot
of information. School programs are extremely loaded with a lot of information that in some cases
seems to them unhelpful. Many students want a new and innovative teaching style. To help students
retain information better and be more attracted to school, the amount of information in school
curricula should be reduced. Looking at the good side, most of the teachers began to teach
interactive lessons. This attracts more students. In this way, students are more motivated and learn
much more interest. In Romania we have many Olympic children because of their efforts and the
dedication of the teachers in the teaching act. These students are national, international, and
international.
2.Write twelve DOs and DON’Ts for successful oral presentations.
1. Be organized! The more organized and focused your presentation is, the more relaxed you'll
feel.
2. Breathe! (It helps you relax.)
3. Don't try to cover too much material. Remember you only have limited time.
4. Do speak clearly, slowly and at an appropriate level for your audience.
5. Use vocabulary that is appropriate for your audience. If you use new vocabulary, make sure
you explain it and write it on the board.
6. Do make eye contact with all members of your audience.
7. Do move end.
8. Do use hand gestures.
9. Do allow the audience to ask questions at the around your presentation.
10. Don't read your presentation. You can use short note, but reading a presentation is unnatural;
also, it makes it very difficult for your audience to follow.
11. Do practice your presentation with a partner or in front of the mirror.
12. Do remember to thank your audience and introduce the next speaker.

7. In about 150 words, present a public situation in which you were dissatisfied and
specify what the course of action you took was.
The public situation in which I was unhappy is the situation where I had to give up work
for someone else. I was at my job and filed my file and my file was accepted. The day I went to
work to sign the papers, I found out that someone else took my place. I went to the employer and
told me that there was nothing to do because that's how he got the order from the mayor. I
investigated the matter and learned that the person concerned was a relative of the commune's
mayor. No matter how I tried to prove that it was illegal, I did not succeed. In this struggle it
overcomes injustice.
8.In about 150 words, say how Romanians usually spend their holiday. Refer to
types of tourisms they favour, resorts, comfort, price, location etc.
The Romans are among the most naughty nation. In Romania, for example, some of the
biggest electronic music festivals are organized. These are Untold, the Nevers. Untold is
organized in the city of Cluj in the mountains, and Neversea in the city of Constanta to the Black
Sea. Participating in these festivals, the Romans spend a lot of money because during the break
between speccoli, tourists participate in exclusive parties. In our country, tourists can also go in
unforgettable things for less money. Expenditure on the trip depends on each person. You can
have an unforgettable holiday with 2000 lei and 10000 lei.
Romania promotes all types of tourism because it has wild mountains, has open sea and has all
kinds of relief. The tourist just has to choose.
