CAN WE LIVE WITHOUT HUMOUR?

Humour is everywhere, you only have to let it enter to your life. It's an important thing because it makes you laugh, your problems seems to disappear. Of course we can live without humour... but who wants to live without it? It would be a boring and sad life. We all want to be happy, don't we? 

From my point of view, when we walk hand in hand with humour, all seems to be better. Let's imagine you have got a really bad day: you have two options. To get depressed and feel unhappy because of your worries or to see the situation with humour, so don't give up. Give it a try! It makes you a positive person and that says a lot about you. Laugh everytime you can do it, it's a magical thing.

The days when you don't feel fine... what do you prefer, to listen sad songs or to watch an humour program? A joke can put a smile on your face, thus listen to it!

In conclusion, without humour our lives would be boring and horrible... therefore it means you can't live without it: give it a try! Because a sad life, is not life. 

Story about a dream

I was listening music at home when my friend Pau arrived. He told me that she had to travel to London before it got dark. He asked me if I wanted to go with him and I, obviously, accepted it. Afterwards, we took a submarine. It was very strange, but we go to London with a yellow submarine. 

While we were traveling, the submarine started to lose his control. We were terribly scared. At that moment, the submarine crashed and I misteriously appeared in a strawberry field.


I looked around me for a long time, but I didn't see anything. Suddenly, a beautiful girl appeared over my head. She was flying! She was wearing a dress full of diamonds, and she told me that her name was Lucy. She smiled at me, and afterwards, I appeared in a new place; it was a cementery. I was walking for a long time. Later, I saw a big and spectacular tomb. The tomb had a name: Eleanor Rigby. I was looking at the name, when suddenly another girl appeared behind me. She told me: all the lonely people... where do they all come from? All the lonely people... where do they all belong?
I couldn't understand what she was telling me.


The place changed again. Where was I? I felt extremely lost. I was relaxing when I saw a hughe octopus. I started to run, but actually, I couldn't move my legs at all. The enormous octopus was looking at me, and he told me: you're in the Octopus Garden. I mean, my garden!!


Suddenly, I woke up. I still was at home, listening to The Beatles. It was a dream which listening to that music came to my head. I dreamt with their songs!!

Arrival of the Birds

Some weeks ago, a good friend of mine, Víctor, showed me this song. I loved it so much... I think that's so special. It expresses a lot of things, it lets your imagination fly. Days ago, I was listening the song, and a lot of scenes appeared in my head. So I started to listen again, and I started to write. I was writing what the song was saying to me. I wrote it in catalan, but now I have translated it in english. It isn't much, but it was what song inspired to me.

"I was escaping of the world. I felt a gentle breeze of a cold air around me in this so dark day. I was running through the forest, entering me in that fog where all disappeared; I heard the rustling of leaves under my steps, the branches were combing my hair, the green of the trees were stroking and receiving me in this place where the light didn't arrive. But I felt that, no matter how fast I was running, I didn't go anywhere. I felt completly lost, but suddenly I turned, and I saw it. I didn't know where I was, but I felt that at last I had arrived in my destiny. A terrorific yet hopeful light, was appearing in the middle of the forest, in the middle of nowhere. I decided to make my heart stronger, because a fear was starting to seize of mi, without any reason. And that was the impetus that got me start to run to this mysterious light. When I was near, I finally jumped into it. That was my first flight.

I was suspended in the air, surrounded by light, full of life. I lifted my arms with the intention to caress the heaven and to felt that I was part of the clouds that were on me. And suddenly, I started to fell down a cliff without bottom, but I wasn't afraid. I was falling without stop, and the air around me disappeared for a moment.. and then it was when I arrived in paradise.

I was looking around me for a long time. In this moment I knew that there weren't anything more amazing and beautiful anywhere of the big universe, that the place that I was seeing. The peace and harmony of that place, filled me. I had found at last a happinness that I've never knew before... and I returned to disappear. My self was divided into a thousand pieces and I became the air around me, in the own paradise. And so, I fought with the death; I became immortal."

Thirteen & Adrian Mole

Tracy at first was a good student, nice person, with true friends,... but she let influence by other people for be more popular. She starts to take drugs, alcohol, have sex, steal... Evie isn't a good model for her, but she should have personality, and she shouldn't try to be as Evie!
Adrian isn't as Tracy. They haven't got a great relation with his parents, because the parents of Tracy are divorced, and the parents of Adrian almost have divorced, too. But Adrian has got more personality, and he doesn't lets him influence by other, so I think that he won't be as Tracy. He doesn't takes drugs, alcohol... but he has got adolescent problems; he fall in love, he discuss with his bestfriend... 

There are a lot of people like Tracy. I have lost some friends because they wanted to be like others, and not themselves. They are now taking drugs, a lot of alcohol, they don't study... It's very sad.

"If you're not that way, you're nothing"
This quote it's VERY STUPID. In my opinion, I think that if you want to be as others and not yourself, then yes, you're nothing. Only a copy.

"Beauty is truth"
Tracys is a fashion victim because she wants to look good. She's very surface, and she doesn't see the inside of a person. She only think to buy nice clothes for be "popular" and "cool" (and she's only a idiot, but she doesn't see it.)

 I think that the movie is shocking, because I can't believe that there are so many idiots in the world. Moreover, Tracy and Evie are only 13 years old!

Adrian is an adolescent too, but he's more responsable. 

Email to teacher

Hello teacher! I'm Natàlia Sellés and I'm 16 years old. Last year I got a 10 of English, so this year I hope that I get good marks too.

If I have to explain something about me only appears one thing in my head... I love cinema. It's incredible how you can disappear for moments watching a film. And it's also incredible how one film can enter very inside of a person...
My favorite director of cinema is Tim Burton. I think that he's a genious. His films are very strange... therefore I love all them. I adore Peter Jackson too, but I've only seen 5 movies of him... The three films of The Lord of the Rings, The Lovely Bones and King Kong. Of Tim Burton I've seen all his movies and all them are incredibles!
And well, my favorite actor is Johnny Depp. I really discovered him with Edward Scissorhands two years ago... After see this film and Sweeney Todd, I was very impressed and I began to see movies of them. And my "obsession" continuous.

I love english language. I always see my favorites movies in english! I see also interviews and I read magazines with english.
Listening interviews and movies in this language, I can hear differents accents. For example, Peter Jackson is from New Zealand and he has got a different accent that Johnny Depp, that he's from EEUU.

My dream is go to New Zealand after the College for live there. I started to love this country after to see The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and after did the "Credit de Sintesi" in 3rd of ESO of it too. In the College I want to do Audiovisual Communications :)

Well, the last thing to say is that I hope this year will be allright, and I hope I can approve with good marks this subject!

Story of a life

Once upon a time, there was a man called Tim Lewik. He lived in Heidelberg, with his family. He worked on what he liked most: the cinema. It was the most incredible thing that he had ever found. For him, it was so east to disappear from the world through the cinema...

It was not until 1944, that que hit the ground with his feet for the first time. His son, his only son who he loved very much, died in World War II. You could'n express with milions of movies or words the pain that he felt inside. These feelings, were growing more and more every day, until his life became a nightmare. Every day was hell for him. He wanted to do eveything to get his son back. He could try to revive it with electricity, like Frankenstein or maybe his son was close to him, in his heaven. It was then that he began making spiritual rituals to turn him into how he was. This made him obsessed with everything that was his, which already passed. He couldn't see reality. He couldn't see his wife, or people in general, not even his dog Sparky. 

His wife, Ari Owar, decided to help him as much as possible, but he never wanted help. With so much pain, Ari decided to join him in an asylum in 1947, so that the professionals could help him and try to get his pain out.

There, in the asylum, he discovered many things that he were ignoring. He discovered music, playing the piano and doing it the way he liked it. The way to express himself through painting, knowing well his own art. He found each and every character that had appeared in his films. He saw them beside him, advising him on what to do. His whole life had become a sweet nightmare, an illusion. And it was then that he started writing the script for his next film, after several years out of this world.

After a few months, waking up, he found someone he had never imagined finding in the foot of his bed with white sheets. He was there, watching him and smiling. Those green eyes of his mother, or wife for Tim, with the long hair disheveled. His son. Just as he had falled into a big hole due to the death of his son, in the same way his son got him with these words:

- "Father, you must be strong and go forward. It's taking too long. My mother miss you very much. You have been my whole life for me, literally, but I've only been a chapter of yours. Don't be afraid to express your feelings, father. You have a lifetime ahead and you can fight any obstacle. Make more movies father. Tell our story..."

He closed his eyes for a moment and when he reopened them, the face of his son had disappeared, but not this presence. From the air, he heard "I love you...", and the only answer he knew was "Me too, my son... me too..."

Things have improved a lot for Tim since that moment. He left the asylum and life smile at him again. Because there is always some reason to continue forward, to find happiness. So he said:

-This is the story of my life. I was about to disappear from the real world, but as you can see, I'm still here. I mean, everyone of you don't give up, never. Experience things, and know who you are more and more. People who die, do not go unless you forget them first. They're still here, like a short breath around you. I could say many things, but why? All I need to tell yourself is: I wish you all a long and happy life."

People applauded when the film finished. All with a smile and more sensitive those who were with some tears. 

This was not the las film of Tim Lewik. He made many more and he also bought a piano. Undoubtedly, he lived happily ever after, beside his wife.
