ReplyDeleteIn today's English lesson, I have learnt something new about Brexit. The first one is the result of the 2016's referendum, and the reasons why the UK has leaved the UE. There is a thing that made me so curious: the price that the UK had to pay the EU to exit permanently... It's a huge sum that I probably couldn’t even write! According to Brexit,I have already heard about Theresa May dimissions after Brexit, but I haven't no idea about every details about this process, however, now I begin to understand a little more. I also remember when english people did some protests against Brexit. Anyway, I still have one question... It was worth it to leave the European Union, but above all, is the UK able to govern without the help of the EU?

And that the PM Theresa May was in favour of Brexit.
2 connections:

ReplyDeleteThe three most interesting facts that I have learnt today are that brexit has been going on since 2016, I thought for less time; that many Brits are scared and against this decision and that there is a possibility that people can continue to circulate freely.
The two connections with other subjects that I thought about are the European Union, obviously, and the economic strategies and business rights and rules.
The only question I still have is... how much will the UK have to pay to the EU?
Erika C.
ReplyDeleteFor me 3 interesting facts on the Brexit are:
- the result of referendum on 2016 in which more than 30 million people voted and the percentage of people who voted to leave and not to remain
- the main points of the "leavers" for exit from EU and their negative aspect of partecipation in the EU
- the huge sum that the UK needs to pay before it leaves the EU
The 2 connections with the topics we have dealt so far can be the history of European Union in current situation and the Erasmus that after the Brexit the UK can not participed at this project for its citizens.
My question about the Brexit is: Which economics consequences will Brexit bring to British and European citizens?
Barbara S
ReplyDeleteThanks to the article I’ve learnt that there has been a large number of proposers of remaining, so that the brexit hasn’t been a very convinced decisions. I also didn’t know that in the EU there must be a law-making to ensure that the products of each EU country are made following the same technical standards. I thought that the EU was more economically free.
While a was reading the article, I thought that also the Greece has left the EU but the reasons of leaving were completely differents; in fact Greece has been forced to leave the EU because they went bankrupt after a really heavy crisis.
After reading this article I don’t have any more questions about brexit.
Actually, Greece is part of the EU.

ReplyDeleteToday we addressed the Brexit topic. On 23 June 2016 there was the referendum in which 30 million people voted with a result of 52% to leave the EU. This is interesting because it means that 48% of the people who voted wanted to stay in the EU. Another important and interesting thing is the fact that people who wanted to stay in the EU said it was beneficial to the UK because they received business benefits from the EU and provides economic and cultural strenght which is very important in my opinion. Finally, another thing that I did not know is the fact that the UK had to pay a large sum to leave the EU.
Two connections with this topic can be: the market and the European Union. The question I ask myself is: it was necessary to leave the EU, what will the UK do to move forward without EU help?
Angelica B.
ReplyDeleteThree interesting facts I learned today in this document are: the propotion of people voting in the referendum, the reasons for Britain’s exit, and finally the position of British Prime Minister Theresa May.

ReplyDeleteIn today’s English lesson I have learnt some new things about Brexit like the reasons why many Britons wanted to leave the EU, the reasons why other people wanted to remain and also some consequences for the UK after Brexit. Brexit is an important topic that concerns the EU and the European Monetary union. However, does Brexit not risk reducing the influx of foreign tourists into the British state?
Alessia G.
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts
The 48% of the UK citizens voted for remaining in the EU.
Some UK exporters said that they had increased orders or enquiries because of the fall in the value of the pound.
UK has to pay a bill to the EU of almost £40bn.
Connections
Brexit could be a limit of the process of globalisation, because the EU allows the free movement of goods, services, money and people, and the exit from the EU could stop this process.
After Brexit custom charges will increase because of the absence of trade agreements, it will be also an increase of the controls in the airports and at the borders for travellers and traders. From the 1st october 2021 it will be necessary to have the passport to enter in UK also from people who come from a country of the EU.
Question
Will the UK stipulate agreements with european countries to try to recover the relations in terms of trade and travel?
Eleonora N.
ReplyDeleteIn today’s lesson I learned interesting things, for example the meaning of the word ‘Brexit’, the fact that a large part of British people choose to remain in the EU even if by a few votes the majority voted ‘leave’ and another thing is that after Brexit, the UK will have to negotiate new deals with the country and with various sectors.
The 2 connections are the European Union and the market.
And my question is without EU’s helps, how can UK deal with Coronavirus effects?
Gabriele M.
ReplyDeleteIn today’s lesson I’ve learned new interesting things about Brexit.
Facts:
-The results of referendum.
-the different point of view of “leavers” and the people who want to stay.
-what happened to the uk after Brexit.
Connections: The European Economic and Monetary Union and in general the European Union.
Question: What impact will Brexit have on the European and world markets?
Sara L.
ReplyDeleteIn this lesson I discovered something more than Brexit that I didn't know before, such as the precise result of those who voted to leave the EU and to stay, the motivations of those who wanted to leave the EU and those who wanted to stay in the EU and finally the difference between the "soft" and "hard" Brexit.
The two connections I could make about what we did with the oder subjects are the EU entry and exit procedures and the Shengen agreement.
QUESTION: What are the procedures to do for those who would like to go to work or live in the UK?
Elisa G.
ReplyDeleteIn today’s lesson I have learned something more about Brexit. The three most interesting
facts are how Brexit means, the reason of the “leavers” and the reason of the “remaining”,
the size of the bill that the UK has to pay to the EU.
The two connections with the other arguments that we had done so far are the European
Union and the UK voting system.
So my question is: what if someone has to go to the UK for work, school trip or just want to
go on vacation?
Susan R.
ReplyDeleteIn today's lesson i've learnt that even though the "leavers" won the referendum, a lot of people voted to remain in the EU, that it took more then four year for Uk to leave the Eu, and that they will have to start negotiating new deals with every country. Two connections could be what does a country have to do to get out of the EU, and talk about the foundation of the EU. My question is: will the UK go through an economic crisis after leaving the European Union?
Nouhaila Z.
ReplyDeleteThe 3 most interesting facts that I have learnt in today's english lesson are:
-that the percentage difference between "leavers" and "remainers" was so minimal
- the arguments in support of those who are in favour of Brexit and those who are not
-that despite the economic consequences that Brexit would have led, the Prime Minister agreed on doing it
2 connections that could be made are:
-with the procedure to leave the European Union
- with the European single market
A question that i still have is:
there was or will be some kind of protest or revolt by those who were against the exit of England from the European Union.

ReplyDeleteThanks to this article I learned a lot of things about Brexit, for example that a 48% of people voted to remain in the EU and the different point of view between the leavers and the people who want to remain in the EU but also the consequences of the UK after Brexit.
2 connections: the European Union and market.
This article has clarified many doubts about Brexit, however, there are still a vast number of questions, but most of them do not have a certain answer. For example: was it really a wise choice to leave the European Union? This choice will also lead other countries to leave the European Union ?
