THE QUEEN

In class we’ve watched the Queen trailer, this film explain feelings and what happened inside the Royal family during the Lady Diana’s funeral.

The Queen is an old woman who thinks that the Royal family is an important statement and people have to respect because they are untouchable, and they’re never closer with their people.

The Queen, in my opinion, didn’t like Lady Diana because she was lover than her for her people, and she didn’t understand why.

I think that Lady Diana was cheated by her husband and his family, when she get married to Charles she was too young, and she thought that Charles fell in love with her and she believed in the fairy tales and Charles won the heart of Lady Diana.
The years passed and Lady Diana discovered that her husband had an affair with Camilla Parker and Charles didn’t fall in love for her and she understood that Royal Family knew Charles’ feelings before that they married.

Diana explained this story in TV, people didn’t understand because Charles was falling in love with Camilla, she’s ugly woman and Lady Diana was kind, pretty and humane.

Diana died in a car accident and this story is still strange.

The Queen didn’t understand her people and these days Elisabeth had to think about the people expect from the Royal family.

ANASTACIA

Hello.

I’m going to explain the biography of Anastacia, she’s a singer of America

Anastacia was born in Chicago on 17 September 1973. She came from a very artistic family because her father is a singer on the Catskills Hotel and East coast nightclub circuits and Anastacia’s mother is an actress who worked in musical theatre on Broadway. She has got a sister Shawn, who’s a masseuse.

When she was 14 years old, she moved to New York with her mother and sister, because her parents divorced. At that moment the doctors diagnosed her chronic intestinal illness Crohn's.
Anastacia graduated from the Professional Children’s School in Manhattan where she met Christian Slater and River Phoenix. She was the one girl who didn’t work while she studied.

Anastacia and her older sister went to dance at club 1018, a dance club in Manhattan, where someone saw her dance and Anastacia was a dancer in Salt-N-Pepa's music videos.

In 1999 she was a finalist in a program on TV, “The Cut”, she didn’t win but very important people began to want to work with her. In this year, Anastacia signed with Epic/Daylight records. Her first album, “Not That Kind”, was released in June of 2000. The song which shot her to fame was ”I’m Outta Love”. Anastacia is more popular in Europe than her country. The second work was titled “Freak of Nature”, which was also successful in Europe in 2002.

In January of 2003, Anastacia was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer was removed in March and in September she was recording her third album, which was titled Anastacia. The first single from Anastacia was “Left outside alone”, it was also successful in Europe and Australia in 2004.

In 2005 she recorded a new CD “pieces of a dream”, the best of her three albums.

I like this woman because she has got a black voice but she’s a white woman, and she sings pop music. My song is “Left outside alone”. I can sing this song everyday, whenever, I think that pieces of a dream is a fantastic CD and I like all songs

I hope you listen to her and like her music, then tell me anything about her music.

ME


Hello

Now I’m going to talk about me.

I like going out with my friends, first have a dinner and talk about us and our life, afterwards we go to the bar, pub o disco, finally we finish in some house to drink a coffee, and then everybody comes back at home.

I always go out with my old colleges of high school, we studied in the same centre, we’re ten people seven of us we studied together, in our group there are two couples since the high school, and the rest they meet the other person o couple with the rest of the group.

At this moment all of us are married, there are two children a boy and a girl and two couple are expecting a baby now, only one couple don’t have baby.

I’m studying English because I feel like speaking different languages but now I have an opportunity. When I’ll finish English I’m going to study German because it’s difficult and like this challenge.

I like going to gym, I like running, swimming and toning up, but I only go to it twice a week.

In this moment in my life I want to study anything else, but I don’t know that, because there are different and interesting degrees for me: architecture, law and journalism, they are very different but I think that everybody has a various worries.

I’m hoping for a change in my life but this don’t has arrived and I think that I have to do something, I don’ like my job, and I need to do different things to feel well with myself ..

STEREOTYPES

Around the world there are many kinds of stereotypes, about job, about nationality, about women, about men, horoscopes…this is, how in some ways, men order different things.
About the Spanish people, the people think that we are always eating and drinking paella with sangria, but we have got the best diet, the Mediterranean diet, and the best cava and wine.
The people of other countries think, women are wearing de faralaes and men are wearing the bullfighter’s costume, but in this country there are important fashion designers, and there are shops of famous foreign fashion designers too.
Another famous or typical Spanish thing is la siesta, everybody believes that every day every Spanish person or Spaniard has a siesta, but actually Spanish is a stressed country like other country around the world and we haven’t got time to have a siesta.
About bullfighting, many people think that we all like that, but in Spain there are many organizations that they’re fighting almost this activity, because they don’t like seeing suffer them.

The stereotypes are an easy way for give adjectives to others, but sometimes these are lies o half true.
