Rudyard Kipling

Hello people here I am. A week later. Well new month coming... and that one sounds cool in 20 days I'll be in Astúrias with my partners and we will have a great time. At least, I hope so.

Well today I was prepearing my power point for the oral presentation at Catalan's lesson. It's about Rudyard Kipling. Do you know who Rudyard Kipling was? Well if you do not know he is the one who wrote The Jungle Book which I'm sure that most of you have seen the film by Walt Disney. Right?

So today I read a poem of him that In my opinion is nice. May be you'll know because is kind of famous but may be not. Anyway, here it is.

IF

"If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

Rudyard Kipling.

Have fun people! See you on the next post.

Lyrics training

Hello people. Here I am again. It's been kind of an stressful days but it's okay.

Well, I guess you all know who Michael Jackson was so here I leave you a link where you can listen to one of my favourites songs of Michael Jackson and try to write the lyrics as fast as possible. That's just one of the songs you can do.

On that web you can practise english with a lot of different songs.

Have fun people! See you on the next post.

Come back!

It's been a long time since the last time I post something here.

Well, It's nice to come back. I had an amazing summer I went to Dublin and I had a lot of fun and a lot of new friends. I spent thwe rest of my summer on my grandmother's home. However when school started everything wents normal again.

A week ago the new dutch students of this year came. It was so sad for me to see them and remeber everything about the excahnge and all I felt while we were doing the exchange. I will love to be doing the exchange again, right now!

I remember when they arrive and I was absolutely nervous thinking on how much fun we will have and how exciting will be.

It was the best experience I ever had. I remember every little thing like if it was yesterday.

Well people from now on I will post here more often.

Bye people! see you on the next post.
