READING THE NEWSPAPERS

Teenagers usually don’t like reading the newspaper - or reading in general -  but if you want to enrich your vocabulary reading is very useful. We tried this activity in pairs during one of our recent lessons: our teacher brought real English newspapers and we leafed through the pages in search of interesting news or curiosities. Our task was writing down a summary of the article giving the reasons why we had chosen it . It was quite useful and here are the results of our work in pairs.

MEETING ANITA TENERELLI – VIDEO INTERVIEW

Have you ever met an actress? Well, we did it! On 14th October 2017 Benny, Maria Adele and I met Anita Tenerelli, who is an actress.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY

There are some films that if you watch them for the first time at the right age have the capacity to inspire you : Dead Poets Scociety is one of those.

MARIA ADELE SAW THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN - MOVIE REVIEW

The Plot

Life is not always  fair and   seventeen -year- old  Nadine knows that very well.

Her already shitty life is going to get worse when her elder brother will start dating her best
friend Krista. But somebody out there is going to make her life better...

After a series of funny events there will obviously be the happy ending everybody expects in a teen comedy. You must see  this film because it is cool and hilarious!

WE, THE DELEGATES OF THE FUTURE , OR iMUN 2017

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBERT NESTA MARLEY!

Who is Bob Marley?


Bob Marley was just a man , like us , like you , like the whole world , but at the same time he wasn't. People should be like him , not literally but just like him they should care about their brothers next to them . Sure he wasn't the first and not even the last to dedicate his life to others but sure he may be a model to follow. 

THE GLEE CLUB

Glee is an American musical comedy-drama TV series on air from May 19, 2009, to March 20, 2015.

What is Glee Club? It's a music and dance club in which you can be yourself, no matter who you are!

Completely different guys learn to sing together as one single voice. The majority of them are considered "losers" by the others and all together they will learn, thanks to Will Shuester (their music

teacher), to appreciate themselves and the others. 

We think Glee should be a must for all teenagers. This TV series teaches you things like " Don't Stop Believin' " in yourself, in your dreams and in your talents, don't give up in front of the injuries and keep going on.

WILL SMITH: THE FRESH PRINCE OF..... OUR HEARTS!

Williard Carrol Smith, better known as Will Smith,  is an actor, comedian, rapper and an American filmmaker. A 360 degrees person and our favourite actor.

Here are some of our favourite movies starring Will Smith:

For various songs, they collaborated with Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Tove Lo, Khatia Buniatishvili and Merry Clayton. The album also features a sample of President Barack Obama - a great fan of Coldplay -  singing "Amazing Grace" at Clementa C. Pinckney's funeral on "Kaleidoscope".

What about having a detailed look at the tracks in this album? They are all fantastic!

1. A Head Full Of Dreams

This song marked a rebirth for Chris Martin , after a long period of depression because of his divorce from his ex wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. He managed to give back colour to his life . He said :

everything that happens to you is fine. The idea is to accept everything without running away from anything, and believe that things will turn for the better and become colored

THE GOLDEN 80s & 90s

Hi guys, today we want to talk about the songs of a time gone by, but that we will never forget . We are talking about songs that have made the history of music, songs from the 80s & 90s. The music of the past is very different from today's music. Once you had to know how to play an instrument or have a great voice or at least to know how to tell a story in your lyrics but, nowadays,  very simply with a computer everybody can make and release a song, even your Maths/English/Science teacher 

Everybody knows that since many years the music that we hear is contaminated by money and business so it is a bit difficult to recognize a good song when you hear it. However not all contemporary music has to be thrown away , absolutely not!

Now let's not think about this and think more about the 80s/90s hits. Here we have the top songs chart by MTV.  We’ve chosen to see just the first five songs that in ascending order are :

WE WENT TO ROMICS!

Why don’t you write “the 5 reasons  not to write an article about Romics”?

1. Romics is a rough copy of Comic Con

2. It’s impossible to classify cosplayers because they are all the same
