Enrique Iglesias


Mis padres se llaman Júlio Iglesias de la cueva y Isabel Preysler Arrastria. Yo tengo 8 hermanos. Mis padres son muy conocidos, mi padre es un cantante a muchos años, es un cantante romántico.
A mí me gusta muchas cosas. Me gusta mi trabajo, de mis fans y antes de entrar en los espectáculos yo me ecsondo para ver las personas que entran. Me gusta salir la noche para bailar y dormir de día. Me gusta el contacto con mi público en los espectáculos. En los despuertos me gustan los despuertos de água. Me gusta leer y mi libro favorito es “ el vejo y el mar”.
Lo que no me gusta las drogas y lo tabaco. No me gusta sentir solo, cuando yo llego a mi casa después de un espectáculo sinto-me tan solo que no puedo dormir. Tambien no me gusta cuando yo estoy en una sección fotográfica y me dicen “ esta es la última”. Yo detesto ser sincero, es mi pior defecto.

Tom was watching TV when he remembered he was going to have History test that afternoon. He said:
-I have to study now! Oh no! There isn’t time to study, I must go to school now!
Tom goes to school very worried, but he sees his friend Edward; He must also studied.
He thinks he has to talk with him.
Tom-Edward, come here!
Edward-What’s happened?
Tom-Did you study for the History test?
Edward-Yes, I did, why?
Tom-Because I haven’t study, could you help me? If I don’t know the answers you will tell me, right?
Edward-NO! That is not correct, I can’t do that.
Tom-Please! If I have a bad mark my grandmother will be disappointed. That mark is very important for me…
Edward-OK,OK ! I’ll help you.
Tom-Thank you!
The bell rings and they go to the classroom.
In the classroom Tom whispers:
-Edward tell me the answer to question no. 5
-It’s 1769.
Mrs. Smith-Edward, be quiet!
Tom-Now tell me no. 7
Edward-Wait, the teacher is looking.
Tom-Now!
Edward-It’s King Charles III.
Mrs. Smith-Edward and Tom I will take your tests.
Edward-Please, no! We are sorry!
Mrs. Smith-I will talk to your Head Teacher about this.
Some days later Tom’s grandmothers come to the school because the Head Teacher phoned her.
Head Teacher- Mrs. Jones your grandson was cheating on a test and I decided to phone you.
Mrs. Jones-Oh, no I can’t believe it! Tom why did you do that?
Tom-, I can explain, I forgot to study and it was the only way to have a good mark and this mark is very important to go to the 9th grade.
Head Teacher- But, now your mark is 0.
Edward-Is my mark 0 too?
Head Teacher-Yes, it is.
Edward- Oh no!
Mrs. Jones-Tom you can’t watch TV or play computer for all the time!
Head Teacher-You can go home now; I have already said what I had to tell you to say.
Tom learned and never did the same again but he had to repeat the 8th grade. Edward just had a bad mark at History and went to the 9th grade.

English Theatre


On February 27th we went to the theatre in Chaves.
The English teachers of our school invited an English theatre company to come to Chaves. The name of the play was “Not one of us” and there were only two actors and one actress. They played all the roles.
The play was interesting and funny. It was about school, love and friends. There was a boy that was new at school and the other students didn’t accept him at first, but in the end they understood he was an intelligent boy and a very good friend, so he became “one of them”.
We liked the play very much, and we understood almost everything.

VALENTINE'S RHYMES

Try to guess the words they refer to:

- A Valentine's colour that rhymes with bed.
- Something you give that rhymes with lift.
- An emotion that rhymes with glove.
- The taste of chocolate that rhymes with heat.

WE HAVE CHOSEN SOME BEAUTIFUL ST.VALENTINE'S MESSAGES TO SHARE WITH YOU:


Be my Valentine, my love,
As I will be for you,
And we will love the whole day long,
And love our whole lives through.

I never saw so sweet a face,
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling place,
And can return no more.

18 Feb 2008


Valentine's a day to say, "I love you,"
A ritual that stages something real,
Letting out the truth of what I feel
Even as I think it often of you.

With you it's Valentine's Day 365 days a year.

It's magic each time we hold each other, each time we cuddle, and each time we kiss. I never want to let you go for fear of losing you, so I just hold on a little bit tighter each day, refusing to let go. You're all I ever wanted.

My eyes are blind without your eyes to see,
Like a rose without colour.

Love is the language our hearts use to speak to one another.
For you, my dear, my heart sings.

You live within me,
Yet I am without you all alone.
With you I am full of light;
Without you I am stone.

Valentines are people who
Are willing to be flowers,
Letting us enjoy their beauty
Even if for hours.

Valentine's Day
Is a wonderful way
To make "I love you"
Easy to say.

Joana is my Valentine,
A fantasy come true,
Reminding me that fortune can
Reenter what we do.
I said what words were in my heart,
Each far more than I knew.

I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care
I'm not supposed to live my life, wishing you were there
I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do
I'm sorry I just can't help myself, I fell in love with you.

My love for you is like a train, I just can't stop it.

If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
just to spend them with you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Carnations are sweet
And so are you.

My eyes are blind without your eyes to see,
Like a rose without colour.

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.
