Hiya Mike!

Hi, Mike!

I'm quite stressed because of the final exams!

What about you? I agree with you, it's been a long time!

I envy you. I'd like to be there! Here in Liverpool is freezing cold. There's a cold spell that, according to the forecast, is going to last until next week. And also, it has been raining a lot lately.

I miss going to Ben's cafe with you bro! The rest of our friends are missing you too. I think that even the maths teacher misses you although you used to drive him by the bend!

Anyway, you won't believe what I've done...My mom saw red with my last mischief! I had prepared a trick for my little sister, you know, I put a bucket full of acrylic paint above the door and the plan was that it falls when my sister passes, but unfortunatelly, it feel over mom's head. That's not all, I was so unlucky because she was wearing her new white dress that costed 300 pounds! So, yeah, that happened three months ago and I'm still paying for that dress...

However, it was great to hear from you.
We have to write to each other more often!
Keep in touch!
All the best,
     Don

Teachers should let students listen music in class

-
Image
Everybody knows that music is a powerful "tool". It can be energetic or relaxing,  but it definitely cheers us up. We could put some music at school, do not we ? If you ask me, I totally agree with this idea. First of all, in my opinion, it would be a great idea . Teachers could make some rules to manage and still keep the calm during their classes. Rules like, to let students listen to music while they are doing an exercise,  essay,... But to turn down the music when the teacher explains. Then the teacher could put some soft music out loud to make lessons more dynamic and less dull. Moreover, students will be more concentrated  because they will not be distracting each other. Everyone with their headphones on...it sounds music to my ears. To sum up, I agree with this idea because everybody loves music, and the ones who do not, do need to listen to it if they do not want to. It wouldn't have to be compulsory to listen to  it.

Rap

RAP MUSIC Rap music is one of the most listened musical genres, and I would say that it is the main music genre that promulgates freedom of expression. If you ask me, it would be a big mistake to ban "violent lyrics". First of all, I think that It has been very helpful for minorities groups like Afro-Americans, Hispanics...It helped them to be heard, and to fight and protest against racism and discrimination. A ban would mean censorship, the opposite of rap ideals. In my opinion, that would cause several demonstrations and controversy. Secondly, in my point of view,  there is no point in banning it, it would be a useless law...people would continue writing and listening to what they want anyway. Even if they penalize people, as I see it, they would start writing anonymously to avoid being persecued. To sum up, I completely disagree with this ban. They should not be banned because although its lyrics can be violent sometimes, they hold an important principle

70's,80's and all that Jazz - Why I chose this topic?

-
Image
The 70's & 80's I've chosen this theme because I didn't know what singer, band or genre of music to choose. I love a lots of bands and singers from these decades so a thought that putting all together to create a new theme would be a great idea. It was a bit difficult for me to summarize 20 years in 6 minutes but I enjoyed the research of information because I didn't consider this as homework .

If William Shakespeare had been a woman...

-
Image
If he had been a woman, his life would have been harder because being a woman in his era was something very hard. Not only because women's rights were non existent, but also because they were offered few jobs and less opportunities. If he had wanted to go to school, he would have had to fight to be able to go because usually families didn't want their daughters to study, only their sons were able to study. It would have been impossible for him to be a writer if he had tried to get into the theater world being a woman. And if somebody had supported his work or plays, people wouldn't have accepted him. It definetely had been a disaster for literature's history. It would have missed outstanding plays like "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet", "Macbeth"...

A Star Is Born (Film Review)

-
Image
“A Star Is Born” is a dramatic and romantic film that was released on the 5th of october of this year. n it was directed by Bradley Cooper. The film narrates the love story between Ally (Lady Gaga) -a young girl that’s giving up on her dream to be a singer- and Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), a seasoned country star that struggles with alcoholism and other physical and emotional problems. Maine discovers Ally in a gay club where she performs sometimes. Their connection starts immediately; as they make eye-contact while she is singing “La vie en Rose” until they leave the club together. As Jack puts her into the spotlight -her career takes off- his career drops sharply. The script is very well made; the right words are just said in the in the right moment. In the scenes, in general, actions and music are more important than words, so it is quite adequate that the scriptwriters have given more attention to them than at words. Besides, the scenography it is very well staged: the lig

Writing Of The Cuff

              I'm walking through a green field, hearing my steps on the dirt road. The wind blows through my hair and the drizzle that falls upon my skin keeps me awake. I'm just guessing why my mind was blowing up minutes later... Now, all is peaceful, and the storm inside has been calmed by the view that's staring right in font of me. The dusk is falling, the night is coming, and I'm just waiting for the dawn. It's ironic, I've just turn on the music and the perfect song started to sound..."from dusk till dawn..." And yes, I'm just walking through an empty field, the sky is crying and it makes me feel melancholic of something that I used to want and now I can't remember what it was. I'm in a blue mood, touching the green grass of the field and seeing the sky turning grey because of the clouds that had appeared- I don't know when-. The drizzle has become a pouring rain, but I keep walking, just trying to chase the dawn.

Plastic-Surgery

-
Image
Since plastic-surgery appeared into our lives, many people has seen this innovation as a way or tool to transform their bodies or face to become perfect or to fix some bad deformations that they were born with. At first, plastic-surgery was only useful for people who had bad characteristics in their bodies that caused them health problems, they needed to be operated. But then, it became a trend among narcisist people who wanted to be perfect, here is where the controversy starts. On the one hand, we have the principal reason why most people believe that plastic-surgery is just vanity; almost every famous Hollywood star , singer, or celebrity has been through a plastic-surgery. Celebrities like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Silvester Stalone,...and we cannot forget the "queens of surgery", The Kardashian's Clan! Each of them has been through a plastic-surgery more than once, and just to suit in the celebrities' perfect world where everyone must be perfect to enter into i

A Big Family

It was December and my mom and I had decided to spend our Christmas holidays in Bolivia to visit our family...It would had been easier if our family hadn't been that big, and also if they hadn't lived in different cities. First of all, we visited my grandparents. They live in the countryside so it's a bit far from Santa Cruz, were most of our relatives live. We stayed there only for a few days because my mom was tired of fighting with mosquitos. My grandfather teased her about that because she was the most bitten by them. We went back to Santa Cruz and we brought my grandparents with us. We had a big dinner for Christma's Eve at my aunt's house, where everybody and their uncle came. Almost everybody gets along well,fortunely there's no bad blood. On New Year's Eve, we went to Tarija, with my grandparents,  my aunt Ruth, her husband and my cousin ib order to visit my grandfather's brother.  We went by car, and although my uncle had a GPS-it wasn't
