A Book: Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland

 Alice is feeling bored while sitting on the riverbank with her  sister, she see a  White Rabbit with a watch. 

She follows it down a rabbit hole when suddenly she falls a long way to a curious hall with many locked doors of all sizes. She then discovers a bottle on a table labelled "DRINK ME" the contents of which cause her to shrink too small to reach the key which she has left on the table. 

She eats a cake with "EAT ME" written on it in currants as the chapter closes.

The Queen of Hearts 

The Queen of Hearts

She made some tarts,

All on a summer's day;

The Knave of Hearts

He stole those tarts,

And took them clean away.

The King of Hearts

Called for the tarts,

And beat the knave full sore;

The Knave of Hearts

Brought back the tarts

And vowed he'd steal no more.

Looking For Alaska

                                                         

 Hellooo! Iḿ going to talk about "Looking For Alaska"

This book is written by John Green.

Characters

Chip Martin

Five feet tall but "built like Adonis", he is Alaska's best friend and Miles' roommate. His nickname, the Colonel, comes from his being the strategic mastermind behind the schemes that Alaska concocts. Coming from a poor background, he is obsessed with loyalty and honor, especially towards his beloved mother Dolores.

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE

MEANING

Damn my luck I fall and I fall in frying pan into the fire.

I´m bad thing and I´m going to a worse thing

ORIGING

This phrase you can see in the book THE HOBBIT, but this is the origin:

In their frantic quest for a solution that would prevent them from being fried alive in the hot oil, one of them suggested to the rest that they could save their lives by jumping out of the frying. The other fish jumped at the idea and quickly jumped out of the frying pan in an attempt to save their lives, but upon taking this action, they instantly met their deaths as they fell directly into the burning coals upon which the frying pan was on and were roasted alive. The fish therefore literally jumped out of a bad situation into a far worse one that speedily killed them all.

    

The Fault in Our Stars

Hellooo! Today I´m going to talk about one of my  book, named The Fault in Our Stars.

The Fault in Our Stars is written by John Green.

Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.

They use "Okay" like a "Forever" for others persons 

This year we can see a movie based in this

book.

Starring as Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters and Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster.

Divergent

In a futuristic dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions: 
Abnegation (the selfless)
Amity (the peaceful)
Candor (the honest)
Erudite (the intelligent)
Dauntless (the brave).

The movie is about a girl, her name is Beatrice, after she start to call Tris. 
All members of this society have to choose at sixteen, which side believe belong, according to their most important personal virtues.

Pakistan's failure to stop spread of polio sparks global emergency response

World Health Organisation says all residents must show proof of vaccination before they can leave the country

 

The emergency measures also apply to Syria and Cameroon, which along with Pakistan are seen as posing the greatest risk of exporting the crippling virus and undermining a UN plan to eradicate it by 2018

The virus has recently spread to Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel and Syria, and has been found in sewage in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and greater Cairo, said WHO assistant director general Bruce Aylward. It also appeared in China two years ago.

"In the majority of these re-infected areas, the viruses circulating actually trace back to Pakistan in the last 12 months"

"The best option would be vaccinating the passengers at the airport  where  vaccination cards would be safe to the passengers.

"It would be most practical as people often have to fly in emergencies."

Aylward said Pakistan had done tremendous work to restore security in Peshawar

Margaret Chan, declared the resurgence of the  to be a public health emergency of international concern, the first such designation since a 2009 flu pandemic.

The travel restrictions should stay in place until there is a whole year with no new exports of the disease.

The WHO says 10 million people are walking today thanks to efforts to wipe out the disease, which mainly affects children under five years old.

Polio passes easily from person to person and can spread rapidly among children, especially in the kind of unsanitary conditions endured by displaced people in war-torn regions, refugee camps and areas where health care is limited.

There is no cure for the disease but it can be prevented by immunisation. The polio vaccine, administered multiple times, can protect a child for life.

France2014

HELLOOOO! I'm going to talk about France , this february I went to Normandy for to do a exchange.


Which is an Exchange?

The exchange consist in that two classes of schools from differents countries, and each student have a correspondent from the other class.
We go with the class travel to the school of other countrie for a week.
And the student lives in the house of his correspondent.
We do activities with the school,  learn the language...


What we do in France? 

This time we go to "Collège Lycée Marie-Joseph", in Trouville.
There we did a lot of things with our correspondent, my correspondet was Loane Margênetre, and I think her friends are Louise Lebey (the correspondet of Mar), Pauline Edorth (the correspondet of Julia) , Eden Sevestre (the correspondet of Carlos), Louis Champain (the correspondant of Nacho), Alienor Teissoniere (the corresponsl of Maria Colomina)...


The first day we traveled from Spain to France and at night they first met, that day I was very nervous.

The second day we went to met the school (it was very big, and you can lost there), afternoon we went to see Trouville. We went to dinner at McDonald´s, and after bowling, and I was the third.

Friday we went to Caen to visit a museum about the "Day-D"
Afternoon I went with Loane to a party in Louise´s house.

The best was the saturday's party in Alienor's house.
And then I sleep in her house, in sunday´s aftenoon we went to Deuville with more persons.


On Monday we went to "Mont Saint-Michel"

And the last day we went to Honfleur and did a class with they, we did a groups,  I did a spanish´s class, it was very funny.

In the afternoon I went with my correspondet and Corentin, the correspondant of Angela, Loiuse,  Capucine (the correspondet of Mar), we went to Trouville, then I went with Louise and Corentin to Deuville for dinner pizza, and then we did a ice skate, is was very very funny.



The worst was the leaving, because the last day we were all friends, so it was very difficult.
But we went at Paris.
We saw the Tour Eiffel, it was precious. 
But at the end of the day, we went to Paris Airport to return to Spain. 


The Opinion


In my opinion, this travel was INCREDIBLE, I learn a lot of french people, their culture and language, I did good friends...
