Activity 06
Speaking activity about Colombian strike
Discussion Questions
1. Why is the right to protest important to democracy? Whose views does it favor?
2. There have not been a lot of cases brought to the court on the issue of the right to protest and conflict with public order. This allows you to voice your opinion on where the balance between public order and the right to protest should be. What do you think?
3. Supporting the right to protest can be challenging when the protest is about something you strongly disagree with. Think of something you strongly disagree with (for example capital punishment) and make an argument that supports the right to protest about that issue.
4. Choose one of the following protests:
• G-20 (2010)
• Occupy movement (2011)
• Climate Strikes (2018- ongoing)
• Wet'suwet'en protests (2019-20)
• Colombian Protest (2021- ongoing)
5. Research the event and identify any civil liberties restrictions during the protest (police or government action). What are your thoughts on the reasonableness of those limits?

Session 03
Let´s talk about music: https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/music.htm
Write here a summary of this video.
Let’s talk about music, melody, and rhythm.
Music is a series of musical notes that agree with each other and "sound nice".
If the notes are random, without musical structure, and do not make sense, we call this noise.
Melody is often called the tune. We make a tune using the notes of a scale.
This is a note—middle C.
These are the notes we can use—A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
In European music, a scale has eight notes.
This is the scale of C.
We start with C and end with C.
We start with bottom C and end with top C.
If we play notes from a scale together, at the same time, we call this a chord.
We can play the same chord on the guitar.
The rhythm is the speed at which we play the melody, and the time we take in between each note.
We often call this the beat.
We often call this the beat.
Listen to the beat of this bass drum.
Now hear how it changes when I change the rhythm.
When we add words to the music it becomes a song. The words are called the lyrics.Questions to discuss

By Anup Shah
The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests, and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. Almost all cultures have in some way or form recognized the importance that nature and its biological diversity have had upon them and the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed, and politics have affected the precarious balance.
1. Loss of Biodiversity and Extinctions.
2. Nature and Animal Conservation.
3. Climate Change Affects Biodiversity.
4. Coral Reefs
