 SUMMARIZING ACTIVITY
(Movie: Matrix)
Method 1
1. Keep a running list of the main characters.
 Neo (Thomas A. Anderson) - The protagonist, portrayed by Keanu Reeves, is a
computer programmer who becomes the chosen one, capable of manipulating the
Matrix.
 Morpheus - Portrayed by Laurence Fishburne, Morpheus is a rebel leader who
believes in Neo's potential to free humanity from the Matrix.

within the Matrix tasked with hunting down and eliminating rebels.
 Cypher (Cypher Reagan) - Joe Pantoliano plays Cypher, a member of Morpheus'
crew who becomes disillusioned and betrays them.

2. Break the book down into sections.

 Beginning: The film starts with the introduction of the protagonist, Thomas A.
Anderson, a computer programmer who also goes by the hacker alias "Neo." He is
a discontented individual who suspects that there is more to reality than what he
experiences. Neo's life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Morpheus, a rebel
leader, who believes Neo is "the One" destined to free humanity from the Matrix.
Morpheus introduces Neo to the idea that the world he knows is an artificial
construct created by sentient machines to enslave humanity. Neo is offered the
choice to take a red pill and learn the truth or take a blue pill and return to the
illusory world. Neo chooses the red pill, leading to his awakening and training in
the real world, where he discovers the extent of his powers and the reality of the
war against the machines.
 Middle: Neo and his crew, including Trinity, face off against the powerful Agents
within the Matrix. They learn about the rules and limitations of the Matrix and the
dangers it poses. Neo visits the Oracle, a wise program, who offers insights into his
destiny and the importance of choice. The Oracle also predicts that he is not "the
One" yet. Cypher, a disillusioned crew member, betrays Morpheus and tries to have
him captured by the Agents. This leads to a climactic confrontation on the
Nebuchadnezzar ship and a rescue mission to save Morpheus from Agent Smith.
 End: Neo assumes his role as "the Chosen One" and gains a new level of control
within the Matrix. He engages Agent Smith in an epic battle and ultimately defeats
him. Neo makes a symbolic call within the Matrix and emerges as the savior of
mankind. He promises to reveal the truth to the people still trapped in the Matrix.
The film concludes with Neo's new abilities, Trinity's declaration of love and the
hint of a future conflict with the machines. The world of the Matrix is left in an
uncertain state, and it will continue.

3. Identify the main point of each section.

  Beginning: We meet the protagonist, Neo, a discontented hacker who suspects the
reality he knows is a facade. Neo encounters Morpheus, who introduces him to the
concept of the Matrix and the idea that Neo is "the One." Neo chooses to learn the
truth and undergoes training, discovering his powers and the war against the
machines.
 Middle: Neo and his crew confront the powerful Agents within the Matrix,
learning about its rules and dangers. Neo seeks guidance from the Oracle, who
provides insights into his destiny and the importance of choice. Cypher's betrayal
leads to a confrontation, endangering Morpheus and revealing the extent of Agent
Smith's threat.
 End: Neo fully embraces his role as "the One" and defeats Agent Smith,
demonstrating his extraordinary abilities. Neo becomes a savior figure for
humanity, vowing to reveal the truth to those still trapped in the Matrix. The film
concludes with Neo's newfound abilities, his love for Trinity, and hints of future
conflict with the machines.

4. Determine the book’s one key idea.

 The one key idea of "The Matrix" is the concept of reality vs. illusion and the
power of choice. The film explores the idea that what we perceive as reality may,
in fact, be an artificial construct created by machines to control humanity. It delves
into the question of free will and the choices individuals make when presented with
the truth. The central theme revolves around the power of human choice to break
free from a simulated existence and take control of one's destiny. This idea is
epitomized in Neo's journey from a disenchanted hacker to the realization of his
role as "the One," where his choices have the potential to reshape the world and
liberate humanity from the Matrix.

 TASK 2 WRITING AN ESSAY
Big salary is much more important than job satisfaction.
In today’s world, it is believed that a big salary should be the goal of a person’s career as it
can lead to financial security and a high standard of living. However, I don´t strongly agree
with this concept. Job satisfaction should trump higher pay.
Above all job satisfaction is essential for overall well-being. Spending a significant part of
our lives at work means that our level of job satisfaction has a significant impact on our
happiness and mental health. A big salary can provide temporary comfort but at the cost of
being unhappy at work can lead to long-term stress, anxiety, and physical health problems.
Additionally, job satisfaction often leads to better productivity and professional improve.
Employees who feel satisfied with their work are more motivated and innovative which
benefits both the individual and the organization. People who prioritize job satisfaction
often find greater purpose in their work and lead more balanced and satisfied lives.
Finally, while a higher salary may provide financial security it should not be considered
more important than job satisfaction. Therefore, individuals must find a balance between
financial security and job satisfaction to lead a more satisfying and meaningful life.
TASK 1 WRITING A DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION

The diagram compares the spending of two nations on consumer products during the year
2010.
Overall, the UK has a higher expenditure in pounds sterling than France. In both countries
cars were the highest spending goods; some of the most representative consumer goods
were evaluated: cars, computers, books, perfumes, and cameras.
In the UK perfume was the consumer good with the lowest amount spent, at around
£140000. By contrast, in France it was cameras, at around £150,000. These two values
given above are similar, with a difference of approximately 10,000 pounds sterling.
Computers were a similar item of expenditure in both countries, only with a difference of
£25,000, with the cost in France being higher than in the UK. Books, on the other hand,
have a greater difference in cost with an approximate £100,000 difference, with the UK
costing more than France.
The biggest difference in expenditure is on cameras, with a difference of about £200,000. In
the UK, the total sum of the costs is £1700000, compared to the sum in France which is
£1375000.
CORRECT YOUR WRITING SECTION- TASK 1/2 (MIDTERM)
Task 1
The diagram shows data about the attendance at the cinema in the United Kingdom.
In general, we can see a similar trend in each of the lines represented, which refer to
different groups of people. These groups are in proportion to the percentage of each one
who attended the movies every year.
First, there are five years mentioned here, in a period of 20 years in total, with 5 years
between each other. These years also cover two centuries: the last decade of the 20th
century and the first decade of the 21st century. We also have 4 age groups, starting from 14
years-old for the first group, to 54 years-old for the last group. Each group covers an age
range of 10 years: the first group with the youngest people, and the fourth group with the
oldest people.
On the one hand, we see that the young population is at the bottom of the diagram and
therefore we understand that they do not attend much in proportion to the old population.
When people get older, we see that they attend more. Also, we see that the lines of the years
have a similar trend in all the groups. For example, from 1990 to 1995 we see how the line
increases in groups 2 and 4 and is the same in groups 1 and 3, which means that it has a
similar behavior in some population groups.
Additionally, for the year 2000, the line decreases in all groups. In 2005, it increases
significantly in all groups, maybe due to some major events that may happened to people so
that they go to the cinema. In 2010 we also see an increase in the percentage of each group,
but it is not as significant as the previous one.
 Task 2
Climate change is a big problem these days, and its impact on the environment depends on
multiple factors. The change is projected in the poles of the earth, in the rivers and even in
the city. Based on the above, I partially disagree. But before I begin to argue my position, I
would like to mention that it is interesting to see how many people believe that the
responsibility for alleviating this phenomenon does not depend so much on corporations
and governments; this would give us to understand that only the actions of ordinary people
are responsible for coping and trying to remedy this problem.
But while it is true that everyday actions can serve as a relief and a show of support to solve
this, this alone is not enough. I disagree with the statement, because the companies are the
ones that produce more pollution and contamination, due to certain industrial processes
they perform, in addition to carrying out large works, if we talk about the oil industry,
which significantly and negatively affect the environment and its nature. Apart from the
fact that many of the policies proposed by government agencies are the ones that have the
greatest impact in trying to alleviate and solve this problem, rather than the individual
actions of each person; therefore, for this problem multiple collective efforts are required.
Although I must say that I do agree on something, and that is that individual actions can be
that grain of sand that each one of us can contribute, because many times the policies and
actions of the companies are insufficient, so here comes the duty of each one of us to ensure
that we do not contribute more to pollution.
In conclusion, the reality is that we must all contribute something to solve this, but it will
not be enough with simple individual and separate actions, but rather it is a collective help,
driven and aided by large companies and government policies.
