MY WORLD: "Just another night" by Icona pop

A few weeks ago I listened this song, Just another night, in the radio for the first time. I think it's a really nice song and it makes you dance. The band is Icona pop. I like this song because it reminds me a lot of summer!

Here you have the lyrics, the translation and the original music video!

Lyrics translation!
Ensopegant amb les esquerdes de la vorera
Una altra nit que es malgasta
Observant el teu nom
Observant el teu nom

Crec que estàs de festa a algún lloc al centre de la ciutat
Em pregunto amb qui ballaràs ara
Fas el mateix?
Fas el mateix?

Tanco els ulls i encara estem despullats
Però llavors veig que el meu rellotge ha canviat
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat.

Oh oh... oh oh oh
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat.
Oh oh... oh oh oh
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat
a l'altre costat.

Amagant-se al metro amb els nens "guais"
Només escullo que no vull escollir.
Vivim vides diferents
Vivim vides diferents.

Hi haurà alguna manera entre nosaltres,
Enderrocar els murs de secrets
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat.

Oh oh... oh oh oh
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat.
Oh oh... oh oh oh
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat
a l'altre costat.

Res ens mantindrà hostatges
No vull que res pari això aquesta nit
Oh creus que ho hem perdut
Només vine a mi.

Hi haurà alguna manera entre nosaltres,
Enderrocar els murs de secrets
Es només una altra nit
a l'altre costat.

MY WORLD: PODCAST - Persuasion

MY WORLD: Persuasion

So I read this book, Persuasion, by Jane Austen, and I loved it! I had read Pride and Prejudice before (in spanish) and I also loved it, so I expected this book to be as great as the other.

source

The story is about Anne Elliot, a woman in her late twenties, unmarried and the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, a baronet. Her mother died when she was young and Lady Russell, her mother's friend, treated her like a daughter. When Anne was nineteen a young man, Frederick Wentworth, asked for her hand in marriage. Althought they were in love, she rejected him because Lady Russell adviced her not to marry him, because she couldn't see any future for the couple.

Eight years later, Anne's family moves to Bath, but she goes to visit her sister Mary, who married Charles Musgrove. Then, Frederick (now Captain Wentworth) returns as a rich captain with some ships. He wants to get married, but he's no longer interested in Anne, the one who broke his heart. He focuses on Louisa and Henrietta Musgrove, Charles' sisters, instead. Anne has to suffer for a long time seeing him flirting with the two girls, because she's still in love with him.

After a lot events happening, they end up toghether.

I really like the story because it's tragic and it makes you suffer for Anne, but also for Captain Wentworth. Don't worry, I don't consider myself a masochist, but these kind of stories have something special that makes you remember them. I think it may be that they seem more real, because love is not a path of roses, sometimes it's difficult. Showing their story in this way it seems more familiar and possible. Also, I loved the main character, Anne. I felt pity for her because everyone wanted her to do things for them but no one cared about what she wanted or about her feelings. It was like she was only visible when they needed her but invisible for the rest of the time. She knew how to treat everyone, and what to do in every situation, so I think that she's a brilliant character.

MY WORLD: Democracy vs. Communism (Test writting)

Democracy is better than communism. Why? There are some reasons that can answer this questions.

In democracy, people are able to vote and elect their representatives. They can be rich if they get the chance to improve their situation.It's not that way in communism. Everyone is equal and can't improve and be completely successful in their lives.

My opinion on politicians is that, at this moment, they're not trying hard enough to get ou of the economic crisis and that a change is needed in their ideas. They have to free their minds to the new possibilities of ou time.

Elections are better than politicians. They let the people express their will in a free way, and that's really nice.

MY WORLD: One of my favourite books!

Last summer I read Daughter of smoke and bone. I really really loved it and it has become one of my favourite books. I also read the second part of it: Days of blood and starlight.

source

Daughter of smoke and bone is about the story of Karou, a girl with blue hair that lives with three chimaeras, strange creatures with parts of different animals. They all live in Prague in a secret workshop where Brimstone, one of the chimaeras, exchanges wishes for teeth of different animals, or even human teeth. One day, in Marrakech, Karou meets Akiva, an angel that tries to kill her.

She discovers then that angels exist, and that they have been in war against the chimaeras for thousands of years. But Akiva sees something in her, she seems familiar to him, and for that he doesn't kill Karou.

Because of this strange meeting, their worlds will change a lot and nothing will ever be the same. Karou and her family are in mortal danger, and she will do anything to save them.

I really really love this book because it's very original and different from any other book I've ever read. At the beggining it seems a little bit strange, but once you get used to the story it's really enjoyable. i love the main character, Karou. She's strong and independent, and she's such a mistery!

I totally recomend this book and, if you read it, I'm sure you'll appreciate it too, even if you don't get to like it!

Here you have some booktrailers that I found on Youtube!

MY WORLD: Nananana BATMAN!

Yesterday I was at home, just relaxing, when my mum came up with the idea of watching the "The Dark Knight Rises", the last movie of Batman. I had watched it a long time ago, but I've always liked the movies of Batman, so I agreed with my mother and we wached it.

source

The film continues with the story of "Batman: The Dark Knight". We can see a very devastated Bruce Wayne because of the death of the woman he loved. The city of Gotham doesn't need nor want Batman anymore. Then a new terrorist called Bane appears and, frightens the city and takes control over it, threatening with a bomb that will destroy everything. Gotham becomes a strange world of "justice", as claimed by Bane, where all the once powerful people will be judged. Bruce has to find a way to stop this, and to do that, he needs to become Batman again.

I really liked this film because it's very dramatic and surprising. It's very different from the other Batman films but I think that it's great. Also, there's a new character that I found funny, it was Catwoman! More over, Christian Bale (the actor that plays Bruce Wayne) does a very good job, and so does the rest of the cast.

I would recomend this film. Here's the trailer!

MY WORLD: Ruined weekends

Lately, I've been feeling a bit unlucky. Everything started a week ago when my parents told me that we were going to Barcelona on the weekend, and that we would stay the night in my sisters' place (they study in Barcelona so they live there). I was very happy and I spent all the week thinking about it. When, on Friday, I finished school and went outside at two o'clock, my parents were waiting for me in the car.

We started our trip. While my parents were talking about a lot of things, I turned on the radio and sang to every song. It didn't bothered them, so I kept singing until we arrived to Barcelona. I had to go with my parents to a turism fair, because they work in turism and had invitations to go there. It was really interesting because there were stands representating a lot of countries. But after nearly two hours I was really bored, thought my father was really amazed of some hats that the Cuba stand was selling. I had to wait a lot more until he got one.

When we went outside I was getting sick. There was too many people and it was too hot. More over, we had to return to my sisters' place by metro, and I thought I wouldn't survive to it (just kidding, but I really felt horrible). When we arrived I could only lie on the couch for five minutes, because they wanted to go out for dinner. I'll only say that I didn't like dinner.

After, at late night, I woke up with headache and neck pain. I couldn't sleep and, in the morning, when my mother found me on the sofa, she checked my temperature with a thermometer. I was sick. Therefore, I couldn't go shopping. I kept telling my mum that I could go out, but she wouldn't let me, so I didn't go. That day my mother and I returned home while my father stayed.

I spent all the weekend sick at home but, lucky me, I got well on Sunday afternoon and was able to go to school on Monday.

It's not fair.

MY WORLD: A day in fair Barcelona

Last week, on Thursday, we went on a trip to Barcelona. We were all really excited, not because of the activities we were going to do, but because of the free time we were going to have in the city. We got in the bus and left the high school at a quarter past eight. It was a long, long trip until we arrived to Barcelona. To keep us from boredom, we listened to music and took silly pictures all the time.We got off the bus at half past ten, in front of the Hard Rock Cafe, in the big and crowded Plaça Catalunya. 

We separated in groups to do the interviews. I went with Rosó and Sandra. We stayed at Portal de l'Àngel Street and, in about ten minutes, we had done four interviews to tourists. We interviewed a French woman, a Japanese girl, a Dutch woman and a German woman and her mother.

Finally, we had free time! We entered in all the clothes shops of the street. Bershka, Stradivarius, H&M, Pull and Bear... I'm only going to say that if the teachers thought we wouldn't buy a lot of things, they were wrong.

At one o'clock we went to the meeting point in the cathedral. The teachers took a picture of the whole group of students and then we went to Pans to have lunch. We finished at two o'clock.

We returned to do our shopping, getting angry at the queues of the changing rooms, struggling to put the shopping bags in our school bags... We wanted to go everywhere and do everything, but we hadn't much time left.

At half past three we went to Plaça Catalunya and got the bus to the Teatre Nacional. We went there to see a play called Doña Rosita la soltera o el lenguaje de las flores, by Federico García Lorca. We waited until five o'clock to enter to the theatre. The play fisnished at a quarter past seven. I have to say that it was a little bit difficult for me to understand, because they spoke in verse, but it was a nice play.

When we were about to get in the bus, everyone started to get hungry. We couldn't eat inside the bus thought, and we weren't going to stop until we arrived at Castelló d'Empúries. Because of that, the trip felt like hours and hours long.

When we arrived at the high school, my father came to pick me up and I went home. It was a really nice day in fair Barcelona (I still have a bit of Romeo and Juliet inspiration), something to repeat!
