Writing part 3:

My favourite film is "the notebook". This movie is about a love story. It is a romantic and interesting film because two young fought against people that did not want to see them together.
This story happened in 40'. Ann was a rich girl and Noa was a poor boy however, they fell in love when she was in holiday with her parents. Ann's parents were disagree with this love and for this reason, they decided to go out the village with Ann. Then they have waited seven years to meet again.
In contrast to story had another story of a man in an old people's home that every day told this story of Ann and Noa to an old woman with Alzheimer's disease.  As the film progressed we can notice that the old couple were Ann and Noa.

How did her government’s policies affected the people?

How did her government’s policies affected  the people?

Margaret Thatcher was the first female prime minister in Great Britain. She was known as the Iron Lady.

In the Thatcher’s government had a lot of political and financial changes and for this reason the population were affected. In the economical field she decided has less regulation in the national market and more competitiveness, accordingly, higher productivity and higher efficiency but the problem was that difficult the creation the jobs and carried on high unemployed Consequently some workers decided to be on strike, for example the miners. Also carried out a hard struggle against unions.

In the other hand, in the movie we watched a lot of dissatisfied of the population and high repression, because the people could not demonstrate your opinion. In the street had a lot of polices and they arrested to anyone that gave problems.
