Lost

I don't know what to say . I'm confused , sad , tired and I'd like to scream maybe i'll feel better . I hate this week because it was full of emotion and I had to say goodbye to my good friend Ramona and also to Ines but at least she's staying here in London . We can meet but for Ramona it's impossible cause she went to France . I have many things in my mind right now concerning my future life and I hate thinking too much about that.
It's better for me to react ; I need a push for sure .
For holiday , I have to study , to organize my self and also to go out because I hate staying at home the whole week .
I need a fresh air maybe I'll go somewhere with Noussa but it's not going to be the same cause Rami won't be with us .
Hope she will manage to be here with us for the New Year .

Thank God Jenny will be here with me but you know my dear we will miss you but that's life :-(((((( . Hope you will be happy and I wish you all the best because you deserve it !!!!!

The essay outline

The Introduction

The use of surveillance has dramatically increased in the UK since 1994 .
Since this time , the surveillance has played a leading role to prevent every form of crimes . It is estimated that five hundred thousand CCTV cameras operate within London ; this means there is one camera for every fourteen people ( McCahill and Norris 2006 ) .
It was an urgent need for the UK to deal with the issue of crime especially after the fall out from September eleven and 7/7 London Tube attacks . And talking about the surveillance society , there was a divergence opinion concerning its role on society and to what extent do people benefit from it . Some claimed that the advantages of the surveillance society far outweigh the drawbacks , others think the opposite .
This essay will look at both sizes of argument and try to get a conclusion .


Paragraph 1 : The advantage of the surveillance society : to detect and reduce crimes ( violence , vandalism )

Paragraph 2 : The disadvantage of the surveillance society : has invaded our privacy ( people 's action were increasingly being monitored )

Paragraph 3 : The advantage of the surveillance society : It has led to many terrorists being imprisoned ( CCTV )

Paragraph 4 : The disadvantage of the Surveillance society

According to the Court of Human Rights , over 850, 000 people were suspected of crimes but they were cleared later .
They were marginated , humiliated and discriminated ; the police had caught many innocent people and treated them the same way they treat the criminals which is unfair . The fact that pushed The Court Of Human Rights to interfere especially after hearing that the police still keep their DNA on file so they rejected this act and considered that it breaches human rights .
So they were forced to destroy the DNA details of hundred of thousand of people .

How it can be possible that the surveillance society which is supposed to detect crimes , catch criminals was responsible of suspecting innocent people .

Conclusion :

As we can see there is a balance between the both size the advantages and the disadvantages .

Please help me !!!!!!

Last week , I was wondering about how to improve my English speaking .

It is an urgent need for me to improve my speaking because I want to work in an international company which require a high standard of English level .
That's why , I asked Steve for help ; he recommended me some books to read .

I also had an interesting conversation with my classmate Jenny .
We shared some thought and I told her that I 'm worried about my speaking cause I feel that my English did not improve it still the same .

She suggested some books such as Atonement by Ian McEwan ......

She also asked me to join her someday to meet her friends who are a native speaker so I can practise with them .

I Had also enjoyed the BBC World Service site for learning English because it's a blog in which people from different countries can share some ideas and thoughts the point is to improve their English .
Besides , I'm reading a book right now called Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho .

hopefully , It will help me for my English but I think the most important thing is to push yourself to speak and not be afraid to make a mistake because it's normal for us as it's not our first language but with practises it will be useful for us .

To be continued ....

some reflections about the last seminar

I liked the second seminar about crimes not because of the topic but because we shared some thought and everything was well organised .

Everybody participated and expressed his own opinion ; we had a discussion about the surveillance society and to what extent do we agree with it .

In fact , we started the seminar by comparing our surveillance society in our countries with London .
We found some similarities that is to say that we agreed that in our countries we used the identity cards and some CCTV in shops .

However , we noticed that here in London , the government had placed a different and various forms of surveillance technology such as Monitoring , identity cards , databases , CCTV ....

The second part of the seminar was focused on our point of view ; whether we are for or against these forms of surveillance .


Well the majority of us think that the surveillance society is a good way to prevent such form of crimes like violence , vandalism ......

But some think that this new form of technology can interfere in our private life .

The day of Vicky's murder , I was working but I can remember that when I coming home I noticed that Peter was weird ; he was calm because normally we used to argue everyday .

He was asking for money to buy alcohol or cigar so I thought that something wrong may have happened but I did not know what to do : shall I ask him knowing his bad mood but I could not retain myself so I asked him if he is OK or not but he did not answer me which is quit bizarre .

Because normally he used to shout at me but that day everything was different and now I can see that he might have enjoyed torturing , raping and killing the poor girl as if he felt relieved I know it is insane but for him it is a kind of relief, a satisfaction .

Today , I feel alive but foremost free because I get rid of him I mean I can walk and enjoy a normal life knowing that he can't hurt me anymore even though I should have taken a stand and divorce him but It was not easy for me because I was scared of him .

Now I fell strong and can manage my life and I have to move on and afford a better life for my son .
