Pop star Taylor Swift has swept the board at the Billboard music awards, winning eight of the 14 categories in which she was nominated.

MY OPINION:

I think Taylor Swift deserves but eight awards are many, there has been nominated.

In my opinion sings well, but not enough to win a lot Billboard, is there any possibility that purposely? - This is what passes through my head after reading the news.

Even so, respect the tastes of people, and I understand that many people loves Taylor

MY OPINION:

I think this news shows how technology is revolutionizing our lives every day.

New technologies help us much, but reached makeup design that can turn your body into a computer, it seems a bit surprising.

However, it is strange to bring something stuck in your ear all day, it must be uncomfortable.

IF I STAY

I'd like to recommend a film which I watched recently, called If I stay
The director of the film is R.J Cutler.

The film is a romantic drama, based on the novel of the same name by Gayle Formanand.
The setting is Porland, United States. The main characters are two teenagers: Mia Hall, is a girl who plays the cello, whoso dream is to go to Julliard, and Adam, Mia's boyfriend who has a strange relationship with her and also sings in a band.

The things I liked the most about the film were the plot and the theme of love for music.
Some of the scenes are special because they are very emotional, but the characters are simple because they do not change during the story.

All in all, I really liked the fil, , and though it hasn't got a definite ending, but I think it there will be continued .
I'ts an easy film to watch, and it's still gas a message.

Dear or Madam,

I represent a group called 'keep parks'. I am writing to you because we are concerned about the planssto build a motorway in our area.

In our opinion, a motorway is not safe, so the neighbors in this area will be in danger next to the motorway. If we have a motorway here, it will be a problem for hundreds of years, however, the park is natural and clean.

We have therefore decided to take action, and we are going to organize a protest. For this reason, we are sending you a poster and we hope that you will support us and help to publicize this event.

Yours faithfully,

Núria Jaén

Can you learn something watching TV?

Hi,

I’m Núria and today I’m going to talk about television.

Are addicted to television?… I do not much, but still have my favorite television programs.

I usually tend to like the TV series and some reality shows, but never look contests, magazine, and cartoons.

How long do you spend watching TV? I, Every day, look at between one and two hours on television. I think that is not a long time. I usually watch television after dinner, school days , but the weekend after lunch.

Always watch my two television series : La Riera and Glee. La Riera is a soap opera that talks about the story of a family that has a restaurant, but one day the director decides to leave the management of the business. The series revolves around a mother and four men , are the main reasons of the plots. And Glee is an American series about a club song called Glee and New Initiatives in most of the characters have social problems that music helps them to forget it.

I think they are very educational, because are made ​​for an audience from thirteen.

If I was station manager would remove all the gossip programs and some reality shows, and probably not add any program.I like to watch some commercials for his music, but I think there are many.I think that watching television does not make people more lazy, but sitting on the sofa when you watch TV, we become lazy because we are comfortable. Watching television can learn a lot, especially with the documentary or news if you watch any movie or series with some other language.

You watch television with English? I do not usually do, but now I must, because the last chapter of Glee are not translated into Spanish.

So, this is my oral presentation, thanks for your attention!
