Morena you are so so hot

In the sand our love
In the radio our sound

There's magic in our color
Our color Brown

Brown good good
Our color brown

Informe sobre la familia española

Así somos

En una familia española de finales del siglo XX, y también en las familias europeas, hay muy pocos niños. La tasa de natalidad de España es muy baja (1,2 hijos por mujer). Sin embargo, los hijos no se van de casa pronto. Su salida se retrasa cada vez más porque las viviendas son caras y el paro entre jóvenes es muy alto. Lo normal es que no formen una pareja estable hasta los 27 años.

En comparación con otras sociedades europeas, en las familias españolas hay pocos divorcios (0,5 por mil), quizá porque la ley de divorcio tiene pocos años. No es muy alto tampoco el número de nacimientos fuera del matrimonio en España ni en otros países mediterráneos.

Algunos hombres y mujeres viven solos (3% y 6% respectivamente), pero normalmente las personas solteras conviven con sus padres. Todavía hay bastantes familias (un 9 por ciento) en las que conviven tres generaciones: padres, hijos y abuelos. Otro cambio importante es que actualmente casi el 50% de las mujeres españolas entre 15 y 64 años trabaja fuera de casa.

(Seguro Contador, Informe sobre la familia española)


Ahora contesta la pregunta de abajo:


¿Cómo es tu familia?

New Divide - Linkin Park






I remembered black skies

the lightning all around me

I remembered each flash

as time began to blur Like a startling sign

that fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

to prove me wrong

to wash thismemory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole

connect the spacebetween Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Across this new divide There was nothing in sight

but memories leftabandoned

There was nowhere to hide

the ashes fell like snow And the ground caved in

between where we werestanding And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve So In every loss

in every lie In every truth that you'd deny And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve .

How to save a life - The Fray

"O homem cresce e adapta-se ao meio deparando-se desde cedo com várias dificuldades. Desde o primeiro passo, até ao primeiro desafio amoroso,tentamos com todas as forças superar desafios, e afirmamos tê-lo feito com brio e destreza. Temos uma inegável vontade de afirmação quando afirmamos ter ultrapassado algo bastante complicado. É com essa idéia que vivemos muitos anos da nossa vida, com a impressão que superámos os maiores desafios e problemas bastantes complexos. É curioso percebermos um dia mais tarde que afinal muitas das vezes foram os próprios problemas que se desvaneceram sozinhos. Obviamente, o nosso ego não nos permite tornar isso público, mas interiormente, entendemos muitas das vezes, que o que pensávamos ser problemas eram apenas desentendimentos, e o que pensávamos ser desafios eram apenas fracos obstáculos que teimavam em nos oferecer resistência. Quando interiorizamos isso, significa que algo na nossa vida mudou (E NÓS APRENDEMOS, CEDO OU TARDE, QUE NÃO HÁ MELHORA SEM MUDANÇAS), significa que encontramos, agora sim, um grande desafio, um desafio que teima em nos amedrontar com toda a sua carga melancólica. Pensamos para nós, que não temos força suficiente para combatê-lo, pensamos muitas vezes em desistir e em deixar de lutar, por consequência, somos na mesma obrigados a pegar na espada e ir para a arena, e é aí que residem os maiores desafios da vida humana, é aí que temos que vulgarizar o nosso calcanhar de Aquiles.
O destino pode ser contrariado ou adiado quando mostramos ser fortes o suficiente para isso.
A vida pode ser madrasta muitas vezes e temos que saber sempre dar muito de nós. Mas, às vezes ainda nós encontramos parados, sentados a olhar o céu, é aí que muitas vezes pensamos e interrogamos a nós mesmos: "How to save a Life?"

Think about it...

Have a wonderful week!

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa (JEN oh uh) ,Italy. He was the oldest of five children in his family. His father was a wool weaver. He helped his father with the weaving, but he always wanted to sail the seas.
He didn't get to go to school very much, but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin.
Some people thought he was trying to prove the world was round, but this is not true. Most people already knew the earth was round. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship.
He was a Christian and wanted to tell the story of Christ to the people he would find in the far-away lands. He also wanted wealth for himself and for Spain, and he wanted to be famous.
He tried for eight years to get King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to supply him with ships and money. Finally they agreed, but he made more demands.
He wanted to be made a knight , admiral of the Ocean Sea. He wanted to be the viceroy and governor general of all lands he would discover. Also he wanted one-tenth of everything he found of value in the new lands.
He even boldly told them he wanted all of this in writing. This was rather brave of him because they could have had him killed because of his demands.
They finally agreed and he got three ships ready to sail;
the Santa Maria and two smaller ships, the Pinta and the Nina. He took enough food for a year. In four months he was ready to sail.

They left Spain on August 3, 1492. They made one stop, then sailed on toward the west. After many days, the sailors were ready to turn around and start back home.

"Just three more days," he said. "Then if we don't see land, we'll turn around and go back home."

Two days later they saw land; an island Columbus named San Salvador. He thought he had found the Indies and called the people he saw there "Indians". When they got to Cuba, he thought he was in China. The world was a lot larger than he thought.

On Christmas Eve, the Santa Maria was wrecked near Haiti. Columbus built a fort and left 40 men to hunt for gold. Then he returned to Spain on the Nina. The Pinta also returned. The people of Spain welcomed him as a hero.
He made three more voyages across the ocean. His 13-year-old son, Ferdinand went with him on the fourth voyage.
Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension the king and queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World. He spent the last few months of his life in bed because of the pain of arthritis.
Columbus not only discovered a New World, but he led the way for other explorers.

Friendship

Friendship is delicate as a glass, once broken it can be fixed but there will always be cracks.

Make sure you choose the right people to have as friends, or else you will pay for it. I´m glad I have, have you?

Amazing...

Amazing, isn't it?

Would YOU be good? - Conditional

This post goes specially to my Inter 6 students (Harold, Babi, Thuthu, Yasmin, Rudolph and Mary), but you all can answer the questions in the "Comment" link. They've just learned unreal/improbable conditionals (also called second conditional or second if-clause), so I'll offer this beautiful song to them. It's called "That I Would Be Good", by Alanis Morissette.



Lyrics:

That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I was overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you

Glossary:

thumbs down:
Literally,

It means "to be desapproved and/or rejected".
gain 10 pounds: To get fatter.
to go bankrupt: To lose all your money.
numb: deprived of physical sensation or the ability to move; indifferent.
overwhelmed: to deal with more that you are capable of.
fuming: to smoke
clingy: pathetically possessive of someone, usually a significant other.

Now, I'd like you guys to answer some questions in the Comments:

1- Would you feel good even if you did something bad and got thumbs down from your friends?
2- How would you feel if you got and stayed sick with swine flu?
3- Would you feel good even if you gained a lot of kilos?
4- What would be worse: to go bankrupt or losing the love of your life?
5- How would you feel if you lost your hair?
6- Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? With what?

I'm waiting for your answers.
Have a nice week you all!
