SUDDENLY I SEE

WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THE SONG?
The song wants to say what thoes a women or a men things about a girl. This girl isn't an important girl, she is very shy and normal. But then, the people see that she is a beautiful girl. The girl who always was there, now is the most pretty girl of the world!

WHY I CHOOSE THIS SONG?
I choose this song, in fact, because I really love the film "The devil wears Prada". I love the meaning of the song which is the same of the film. I love that one person can have a radical change. The people, who never say nothing, now they turn on a fantastic, shine, magnific and fashion person. I love it can be possible!

Her face is a map of the ...
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a ... girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a ... pool of light
The people who surround her feel the ... of it
It makes you calm
She ... you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see
This is ... I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it ... so much to me

I ... like walking the world

You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every ... like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're ... to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wire

Suddenly I see

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her ... looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to ...
The power to see

Suddenly I see

SLEEPY HOLLOW

We watched this film for Halloween! I scared a lot! Well, it's an a Tim Burton film. It's about an a mistery of one town. Somebody with out head cut the heads of the other people of the town. Here you can watch the trailer of the film:

MY LIFE

I was born in Barcelona in 1993. When I was young, we lived in a different house. It was in Sabadell. We’ve never moved again since then. I’ve been here in Banyoles for thirteen years.

My earliest memory is very clear. I was in my class with my friends and Carme Rivera was teaching us the “peix martí”. I also remember my first day at primary school. My teacher’s name was Mrs. Busquets, and I met her in the first class.

I’ve been at Casa Nostra Secondary School for three years. I’ve changed since I was young. I think that I’m more mature now, and my hair is a different colour! When I finish secondary school, I’ll probably study Batxillerat. Before I’m old I really want to go to India.

DESCRIBE AN ACCIDENT

This was the dramatic scene yesterday at Roadwest street. A man was trapped for hours when there was a problem with his car in the middle of the street.

The incident began at twelve o’clock. The car fell in a hole. The man in the car was talking on the phone when it happened. As soon as the people saw it, they called the rescue sevices.
At first, there was complete panic. People who saw it, was very stressed and frightened.
After four hours, the man was finally walking relax again. Later, he said: “It was the most frightening experience of my life”.

MY LAST SUMMER

My last summer was fantastic! But in June not a lot because I only stayed in Banyoles. July wasn’t different, I stayed in Banyoles too. The rest of the month I just stayed at home and I met friends. August, was the best month! I travelled to Edimburgh with Emma, Lucy (my English after class lessons teacher), three girls and a boy. It was very fun, because in the same weeks we stayed in Edimburgh, there were the theatre festival. At the end of August, I travelled to Belgium. I went there with my athletics team. We enjoyed a lot there. One day we went to the Belgium stadium to see the Golden Ligue. In it, we saw Yelena Isinbayeva and Ussain Bolt. It was very exiting! In September, I stayed in Banyoles with friends and to start to think about the school.
