La Sagrada Família is situated in the centre of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí and it was started on 19th of March in 1882 and at the moment it isn't finished. The Sagrada Família is made of stone. From the structure, it is like a gothic church. Inside, it is very big and it is very well decorated too. I've visited the Sagrada Família twice in my life.

GIVING ADVICE


Dear Tània,


One of my friends has started acting quite strangely. She's always looking for money and she sometimes misses school. She's going out with a guy, Steve, who I don't know very well. Steve doesn't speak to me when the three of us are together and he looks at me very angrily.
I don't really know what's happening. What's your advice?

Clare.


Dear Clare,

If I were you, I'd be very worried about this because unfortunately it's possible that the problem is serious. Are you sure these people are your friends?
Obviously, you should talk to them because if you didn't talk to them soon, the problem would be worse. You must speak honestly to hem and tell them that you are worried.
As for Steve, I think that he's a problem because he probably influences her in many things. You should talk to him clearly before the problem gets bigger.

Tània.
OUR BUSINESS: total t-shirts.

I'd like to tell about our business. The name of our company is Total T-shirts. The directors of this company are Tània Omedes and Eugeni Masgrau.

WRITING: A COMPOSITION

dilluns, 12 d’abril del 2010
THE FUTURE

In my opinion our lives will be easier in the future. We'll create a lot fo pollution. Scientists will create super-robots which do the most difficult jobs. The robots will do everything for us. We will have a lot of more time for entertainment or relax.

I think it's important that we colonise space. If we don't live on other planets, we'll have much more pollution in the earth and we won't survive in it. In general I feel very pessimistic about the future. I believe that people will learn to be very responsible and intelligent. The future is in our hands.
Alice in the Wonderland

Lewis Carroll book Alice in Wonderland is one of the most popular children's stories of all time. Now Tim Burton gives us a new version in 3-D!

Hi Pau.
I'm writing this email from Mallorca. The weather is really hot at the moment but I really like it here because the people are funny and friendly. We're driving around the country and we're stopping in different places.

We've just arrived here in La Palma. In the last few days we've gone to some interesting museums and we've seen some parks. So far I've really enjoyed the food!

Tonight we're staying in a small and beautiful beach near the city of La Palma. Tomorrow we're going to leave the car here and we're going to travel by plane through Catalonia. It should be fun.

I hope you're well, Pau. I'll write again soon.

It is the second episode of the first album, but this time the inspiration was Mika's teenage years.

"MUSIC IS THE THING THAT HELPED ME GET THROUGH THE HARD TIMES".
MAGAZINE:

Tokio hotel.

Tokio hotel are German. Their music is a mix of pop rock and electropop, but you don't have to understand German to listen to it.
In 2009 the group released two versions of their new album: one in German and one in Engilsh!
Singer Bill Kaulitz wanted the album to have the same title all over the world. It's called Humanoid. It is pronounced differently in English and German, but it is written the same in the two language.



Leona Lewis.
The British singer's first single, "A Moment Like This", broke world records: it was downloaded 50,000 times in 30 minutes.
Her album Spirit set another record: it was the fastest-selling debut album of all time in the UK.

ROCK CAMP FACTS

Every summer, around 100 campers, aged eight to 18, arrive at Rock Camp from countries like Canada, Brazil, the USA, England and Germany.
Most campers stay at the homes of local families.
Not everyone who comes to camp is an expert musician so every day, campers take classes in their favourite instruments. They can choose guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboards, turntables or vocals.
The campers give a concert at the end of camps.

AN E-MAIL FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY

WRITING:

Hi Pau.

I'm writing this email from Mallorca. The weather is really cold at the moment but I really like it here because the people are funny and friendly. We're driving around the country and we're stopping in different places.

We've just arrived here in La Palma. In the last few days we've gone to some interesting museums and we've seen some parks. So far I've really enjoyed the food!

Tonight we're staying in a small and beautiful beach near the city of La Palma. Tomorrow we're going to leave the car here and we're going to travel by plane through the Catalonia. It should be fun.

I hope you're well, Pau. I'll write again soon.
Tània!
