Hi, my name is Kiara. I can't believe that my new neighnor is Nigga! I am his Nº 1 fan. I have all his albums. He is my favorite singer because all songs are very romantic. When he left the house, I looked and I said: "hello". I almost died of happiness. Whenever I look I said hello because I'm very shy. I dare to say something more than hello.

Kahoko Hino By Wenhe Zhang

   

I’m going to present a girl of a cartoon called La corda d’oro. Her name is Kahoko Hino. She is a high school student in SEISO school. Her birthday is on the 28th of february, so her sign star is Pisces. She’s very generous and kind. She is cheerful with her friends. Sometimes she is quiet and shy. In the cartoon, she is a violin player. She doesn't play very well, but she practices very hard. Her music is free and unrestrained. I like this cartoon very much because it’s a cartoon about classical music.

Creative writing: Mystery

Look at the picture on page 53 of the student's book. In pairs you have to write the following:

• Write a brief summary explaining the crime. Try to answer these questions: Who was the criminal?  Where and when did he commit a crime? What did he steal? How  did he enter the house? What did he steal? What did he do with the stolen object?

• There is a letter between the lamp and the armchair. Imagine who wrote the letter and why: was it the criminal or was it someone else? Did the criminal leave the letter when he entered or was it already there?

Write your compositions on the "comentarios" section of this post!

Joanna is from Sineu and she is eighteen years old. Yesterday morning she was very happy because she passed her driving exam. At night, she took her parents’ car and she went to Festival Park with some friends. They watched a movie and they had dinner at a restaurant. After that, she went back home. This morning she woke up and got ready to go to university. When she went out, she couldn’t find her car and she called the police. After a few minutes a neighbor found her car on the roof of his house! What happened last night? She doesn’t remember.

Peter is a teacher at IES Antoni Maura. Last Wednesday he had a really bad day. First the alarm clock didn’t ring and he was late for work. At the high school, the students took an exam.

After the last lesson, Peter wanted to go to the teachers’ room, but he fell downstairs and hurt his head. Finally, the ambulance came and took him to the hospital.

Billie Jean- Michael Jackson

Billie Jean- Michael Jackson

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice (Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Where did you sleep last night- Nirvana

Where did you sleep last night- Nirvana

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines
Where the will never shine
I would shiver the whole night through

All Summer Long - Kid Rock

All Summer Long - Kid Rock

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long

Caught somewhere between a boy and man

She was seventeen and she was far from in-between

It was summertime in Northern Michigan

Splashing through the sand bar

Talking by the campfire

It's the simple things in life, like when and where

We didn't have no internet

But man I never will forget

The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

[Chorus:]

And we were trying different things

We were smoking funny things

Making love out by the lake to our favorite song

Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow

Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock

Watching the waves roll off the rocks

She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul

We'd blister in the sun

We couldn't wait for night to come

To hit that sand and play some rock and roll

While we were trying different things

And we were smoking funny things

Making love out by the lake to our favorite song

Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change

Or how we thought those days would never end

Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along

And think man I'd love to see that girl again

[Repeat Chorus x2]
