WOULD YOU EAT THIS?

English woman Francesca Pitcher made this cake for her daughter's birthday. She was inspired by a real albino python that she had seen at London Zoo. The problem was that nobody at the birthday party wanted to eat it. It looked too much like a snake... and not enough like a cake!

PIECE OF ART

The Notes on Dora Maar au Chat was painted by Picasso in 1941. It is an oil painting and it shows a girl. It depicts Dora Maar, the painter’s lover, seated on a chair with a small cat perched on her shoulders. This work is one of the world’s most expensive paintings.

This type of work is typical of cubism, an art movement which started in France in the 1907s. In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled and the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.

The Notes on Dora Maar au Chat was first exhibited in 2005, where it was bought for $95 million. But now it is owned by private collector.

THREE METERS ABOVE THE SKY

I'd like to recommend a book which I read this year, called Three Meters Above the Sky. The author of the book is Federico Moccia.

The book is a drama and the setting is nowadays Italy. The main characters are two teenagers. Babi is the daughter of a rich family. She is a good student and a good girl, Step is the opposite.

The things I liked most about the book were the kind of relationship between Babi and Step. Some of the scenes are about fighting or careers of motorbikes so there is violence.

All in all, I really liked the novel, although it hasn't got a happy ending, but I wouldn't change it. Also there is the film, with the Spanish actors: Mario Casas and Maria Valverde. It's great and I prefer the film because I love Mario Casas.

INTERNET POST

In my opinion the internet addiction isn't a problem while the people are having a good time there, I think; internet is the place where people go when they're bored so they can have a very good time with a lot of things there.

I use the internet very often, almost every day but I usually use it for the facebook, youtube, blogs, wikispaces... and homework.

I think that internet is less addictive than TV, because when you watch the television you don't do anything... and with the adverts and series, films, you see more than you wanted. I know some persons who use the internet a lot, and it isn't good, because they have problems with the eyes.

If people are using the internet too much they can do some things that help them with this problem. For example: They can go outside to play sports and walk in the nature...But the best thing they can do is to go with a specialist to help them better.

AN EMAIL

I'm wiritng because the other day there was an accident in Barcelona. This photo shows the accident in the road:

I think there are one or two resons for this. Firstly, the people drive very fast and causes a lot of accidents. And secondly, there are many people who drive drunk or with drugs in the body.

We must do something about this situation. We need to raise awareness that they hace to slow down in the road and they can't drive drunk or with drugs in the body.

MY ORAL PRESENTATION

BRUNO MARS

WRITING:

Hi! Today I’m going to explain a little about Bruno Mars’ life. I chose this man because he is my favorite singer and he sings a lot of romantic songs… so… I love it.

So first I’m going to explain a little about him and then I want to explain my favorite songs to your. And finaly you can ask me and I will try to answer.

Bruno Mars was born in Hawaii (in the Unit States). He’s 28 years old now. Bruno Mars isn’t his real name so… His real name is: Peter Hernández. (A  very different name!). But at the age of two, he was nicknamed Bruno by his father because of his resemblance to legendary professional wrestler Bruno Sammantino.

When I was searching information about Bruno Mars, I found a very interesting thing: The singer has tattoo in his arm… This tattoo is his mother’s name because she was his inspiration in his professional life. And… when he was 4 years old, Bruno made a song for his mom: The name of the song is: I love you Mom. This is so pretty!

But… the last year, his mom died.

His first song was: Nothing’ On You. With this song he got a lot of fame.

He continued to make songs, and now he is one of the world’s best artists.

My favorite songs are:

-       · When I was your Man

-       · Treasure

-       · Natalie

-       · Moonshine

His songs talk about love and dislike. And I think that Bruno Mars is a very romantic man so… I love him J

I hope that you liked my presentation… and if you want to know more about Bruno Mars, he has a lot of videos on Youtube!
