FOREVER YOUNG

A few days ago I was young, just as you are. Now I am middle-aged, and soon, in a few years, I will be old. Unfortunately, no-one can stay young forever, so enjoy your life, and always try to make the most of it.

WHITE FLAG BY DIDO

It is a song and it just looks like a video game. It seems to be set in a spaceship in a near future. Do you like it? I do.
Dido is said to have written this song after she was left by her fiancé. He is thought to have cheated on her with another woman.(???)

(my spitting image= cuspido a min, igualito que yo.)

And here you have the lyrics:


And if you still do not understand, watch this other video subtitled in Spanish. (This is the unplugged version.)

violence...

This morning I was watching the news and I learnt that 22 women have been killed by their partners or ex-partners in Spain this year. Only last weekend 3 women were killed.
Then I started to think about that. In fact, it is a problem that has been with us for a long time but somehow we have turned our backs on it. And then I realised that it was the right time to do something... I don't know what... I don't know how... But there has to be a way... What do you think?
Watch this video and think about it.


Isn't it sad?

IRELAND IN OUR HEARTS

Today we celebrated the Day of Europe at school, dedicated to one European country. This year Ireland was in the spotlight, so the ESO students elaborated beautiful posters, which can be seen in the corridors of the school. Besides, the students of the 1st year of Bac. introduced us to some very interesting facts about the Emerald Island, its culture, natural landscapes, sport, people and history, and we could enjoy this video about Irish dancing by Riverdance.


BY THE WAY, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE STUDENTS FOR YOUR WORK!!! AND REMEMBER: YOU ARE GREAT.

NOW WATCH THIS VIDEO: IRELAND, THE EMERALD ISLAND, AND ENJOY YOURSELVES.

TWO MEN, ONE DESTINY

I know it is not in English, but it is worthwhile watching it.

However, doesn't it sound like male chauvinism? Should two men fight for a woman? Shouldn't a woman have a right to choose the man she loves? Romantic values ( I mean, 19th-century moral values) are out of date. 21st-century women should look for something else than a man who can win them in a fight.
