ENVIRONMENTAL CITIZENSHIP - Essay

In this one, we students previously had a meeting with professors and a sort of manager about this. We were assigned to research and read about environmental citizenship to understand what it is, and what it involves. Based on that, we prepared a critical explanation each about what we thought, its drawbacks and any proposal in mind and even a friend of mine came back to my mind, it worked for me to give an example as a resolution. Plus, my speech had to last between five or eight minutes. I tried to keep in mind that what I was planning to say will be as important as the way you express it. I couldn't articulate a word well because of the lack of complete confidently. This assignment made me feel a little bit stressed, but when I read it... looks good enough to me.

ENVIRONMENTAL CITIZENSHIP - Writing essay

/ɪnˌvaɪrənˈment(ə)l ˈsɪtəzənʃɪp/ it refers to the commitment and responsibility of individuals as citizens to promote environmental sustainability by actively participating in the care of the environment at personal, community, and global levels.

It is a concept that combines rights and duties toward the natural environmental, emphasizing the importance of acting consciously to protect natural resources and ensure a sustainable future. The main characteristics of Environmental Citizenship are:

- Personal and collective responsibility: It involves recognizing how individual actions impact the environment and adopting responsible habits, such as reducing consumption, recycling and supporting sustainable practices.

- Active participation: Environmental citizens not only make personal changes, but also engage in community movements, awareness campaigns, and make informed decisions, such as voting for political leaders who prioritize ecological practices.

- Environmental education: Knowledge is key for citizens to understand global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, and to act accordingly.

- Focus on environmental justice: It considers equity in the distribution of resources and environmental impact, advocating for vulnerable communities facing ecological crises.

- Rights and duties: It recognizes everyone's right to live in a healthy environment, but also their duty to protect and preserve it for future generations.


In Germany, they have a strictly behavior towards the healthy environment and we should learn more about them. Being less consumers, recycle more, even spread the word to relatives, to coworkers, to the whole community. If we stand pragmatic that is the reason why this is called "environmental" because all of us are involved in this, or at least we should be.


I mentioned that Germany has a posture on this, actually, a fun fact is they have a specific word which doesn't exist in any other language, it's unique of them: "Umweltbewusstsein". Instead of breaking down each word of this, let's just say that means: "Environmental or ecological awareness". This is pretty good. I used to have a friend who twice in my life scolded me for not throwing the litter into the garbage can and she asked me if I hadn't never heard about such long word. Anyways, she politely asked me to be more conscious on this ecological issue, and even more important, to spread the word with anyone, I think I'm doing it quite good in this reflection...

WhatsApp Audio Assignment - Artificial Intelligence Assessment

Image
When I received this assessment on my WhatsApp audio presentation about giving compliments in English, I’ll admit—my first reaction was to cringe at my mistakes. Seeing phrases like “get your emotions out” marked as incorrect (it should’ve been “keep your emotions in check”) made me realize how much nuance exists in English expressions. But as I read through the feedback, I began appreciating how this evaluation actually highlighted my progress. The 8/10 in Content showed I could structure meaningful material, while the 7.5 in Language proved I’m using complex grammar—even if imperfectly. This assessment didn’t just point out flaws; it gave me a roadmap to turn my B2-level skills into something sharper.   WHATSAPP AUDIO ASSIGNMENT - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT Here's my assessment of your presentation at a B2 level: Content (8/10) - Your presentation covers the topic of giving compliments in English, providing some useful tips and examples. - However, some parts feel a bit d...

1.1 LIFE CHANGES - Coping with the Challenges

Image
When I wrote this work, I felt a little bit nostalgic, sad, and proud of myself. My father taught me in the mean, rude way a variety of things. I cannot judge his way of teaching, nor do I mean that, I'm just saying he taught me to not chicken out or give up that easy with things and keep going despite of the unexpected odds, and that is good, I'm certainly a tough cookie. Describe a time when you had to face a significant change in your life. How did you cope with it? Back in the time, I remember working for the first time as a gardener. My father took me with him to his occasional second job to teach me how the work is done. I can testify that gardening is not just another work, you have to be strong enough, be in the same position  for a long time, be aware to not cutting any plant, so it is not as easy as it might sound. I previously mentioned the importance to develop strongness in this job, specifically t he lower body as legs, feet, abdominals, calves, and even the lower...
