The Power of Persuasion

The Power of Persuasion

Every day, people try to persuade us. Advertisements encourage us to buy products, politicians ask for support, and social media influencers recommend new trends. Persuasion is everywhere, and understanding how it works helps us make smarter decisions.

My Achievements and Shortcomings

This year I have developed a lot in both knowledge and values. I feel that my way of thinking becomes more mature every day, and I am becoming more responsible. I also participated in several projects that helped me work more independently and cooperate with my team.
We did a project about friendship called “Worksheet 1: Friendship Qualities & Reflection” and “Worksheet 2: Friendship Survey” This project taught me what true friendship means, what qualities a good friend should have, and how to value my friends more.
During the year, we also had a guest from the USA, Mr. Steve. With him, we did a project called “Unsung Hero” We wrote an essay with this title and then recorded our voices. After that, we gave our essays to artificial intelligence to check our mistakes. Then we asked artificial intelligence to give us questions and tasks to help us learn more. This project helped me improve my writing and speaking skills.
We also did a project about movies. We wrote about our favorite films of all time and their lessons. We also wrote about the soundtrack of our favorite movie and how it affects me and other people.
We did a project called “Religious Discrimination” This project taught me to respect different religions and understand that all people are equal and deserve respect.
We also did a project called “Moral Responsibility of Drug Users” This project helped me understand that people are responsible for their choices and actions.
Finally, we wrote “About the Lessons in High School” prepared a presentation, and presented it at school. This helped me feel more confident when speaking in front of others.

Besides the English projects, I also did several projects in Literature. One of them was “A Book Every Month” which continued during the whole year. This project helped me develop my reading skills, think more deeply about books, and understand the meaning and lessons in different stories.
We also did a project called “Reading Tumanyan” this project helped me better understand Armenian literature, the ideas of Hovhannes Tumanyan, and the values in his works.
In Ecology, we did a project called “Land Use” this project helped me understand how people use land and why it is important to protect nature.
IIn Spanish, I did a project where I chose the Spanish poet Rubén Darío and selected one of his poems, Amo, amas, to study, learn and then recorded our voices. I also chose a Spanish cartoon, translated its words, and made subtitles for it. I also wrote a project about “La Historia y los Datos de la Alhambra”. During the winter camp, I did a project about the sightseeing places of Spain. After that project, I chose a famous Armenian athlete, Artur Aleksanyan. I wrote about his life journey and achievements, and I also prepared a video about him.

During this year, I learned how to organize my time better, express my opinion more confidently, and not be afraid of making mistakes. I understood that every mistake is an experience that helps us grow. I also started to value hard work and determination more. This school year taught me that success comes through hard work and persistence, and I believe that this year’s experience will help me move more confidently toward my goals in the future.
At the same time, I also had some weaknesses. Sometimes I could not organize my time well and left some tasks for the last moment. Sometimes I was not as active in class as I could be, and there were moments when I doubted myself and my abilities. However, I understood my mistakes and I am trying to improve. I want to be more organized, participate more actively in lessons, and be more confident in myself.

My favorite favorite film of all time

I have many favorite films, and it is actually hard for me to choose just one. However, if I have to pick, I would like to talk about two films that I really love: The Maze Runner and Lost in Space.
First of all, “The Maze Runner” is very interesting because it is full of mystery and action. The story is about a group of teenagers who are trapped in a maze, and they try to find a way out. I like this film because it keeps you excited all the time. Also, the characters are brave, and they work together, which teaches us about friendship and teamwork.
On the other hand, “Lost in Space” is different, but it is also amazing. It is about a family that travels in space and faces many problems. I enjoy this film because it shows strong family relationships. Moreover, it has beautiful visuals and interesting science fiction ideas.
In my opinion, everyone should watch these films at least once. They are not only entertaining but also meaningful. I would definitely recommend them to my friends because they are exciting and emotional at the same time. However, some people might not like them if they are not interested in action or science fiction.
All in all, these two films are my favorites because they make me feel different emotions and teach important lessons.
