The Best Surfer
I´ve just seen a video about surfing. In response, searching on the net, I’ve found a new one which is amazing. The Pacific Ocean is the biggest in the world and its waves too. The energy generated by the winter storms in the Arctic and North Pacific crosses the sea, like a tsunami, arriving at Maui Island (4.500 km away to the South) where the enormous water mass rises up to 20 meters high, or even more, spreading all its power when it breaks down. These waves are able to pull down a ship but not a person like Laird Hamilton. This guy enjoys surfing giant waves and is still alive despite what you see in the video. For this reason it is said that Hamilton is the best surfer in the world. Turn up the volume and see this tempered man riding nature at full power!

Do it-The Sunday Drivers
Never heard “I’m doing fine”,
you get depressed or you are on cloud nine.
You look tasty or a sorry sight,
shine your light.
Never heard you singing on my mind
and never heard you humming a melodic catchy line.
You just give me one thing back,
so shine your light.
Do it, do it,
put yourself in my place.
Do it, do it, do it.
I can see it in your eyes,
you are different and you know it right.
Any given Sunday, any time,
shine your light.
If I didn’t love you as much as I do,
I don’t know what I would do ’cause I’ve never not loved you.
You just give me one thing back,
so shine your light.
Do it, do it,
put yourself in my place.
Do it, do it, do it.
Do it, do it,
put yourself in my place.
Do it, do it, do it …
Am I a real Real Sporting fan?
Sporting Gijón is in the first division now as everybody knows and just now is when a lot of people are fans of this team and its football players. Team shirts are sold, people are paying a big amount of money just for a ticket to see them …and it’s happening right now…
But, where were these people when the team was in trouble? And moreover, do these people pay so much because they want to see the team, or because they want to see the team they are playing against? I know that the real fans have always been there with the team, whatever the situation was, but most of them know nothing about Sporting players.
I don’t mind if they go to the Sporting stadium to see the other team, but I don’t understand why they say they have always liked Sporting Gijón. So the question is: am I a real Real Sporting fan?
“Thriller” Weddings
Do you remember Michael Jackson’s most successful song?
“Thriller” made a difference in the musical scene of the 80’s . Millions of people danced with the zombies of his video, unselfconsciously creating difficult choreographies.
Nowadays some couples still listen to this wonderful theme and decide that it should be danced in their wedding, so they call some of their friends and prepare a complicated performance to dance before their wedding guests.
The pressure of real life
Hello,
My name is Verónica I´m going to talk about life in these days.
First of all, I want to emphasize the fact that people are always living in stressful situations.
On the one hand, you have to work to earn your living, so that you can pay for your house, your car, your food, etc.
But on the contrary, everybody likes to have spare time for their hobbies, like going to the cinema, shopping, doing exercise … Besides, we are living in a society in which you have to look perfect all the time, everybody wants to be pretty and slim.
In my opinion, we have to try to relax because there is only 24 hours in a day!
Autumn
Here we are!
It’s autumn and I’m missing my holidays and the summer days ( I suposse that the rest of the world are feeling the same ) .
I’ve started work some weeks ago and recently, my English lessons have began. I’m really busy every day, but sometimes when I remember my holidays I know that those days and the spare time I’ve enjoyed, deserve all my efforts the rest of the year.
Now, I’m expecting whatever the autumn will bring us ….
