STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS (anonymous)

Stop making stupid people famous!


Yesterday I was on youtube watching videos when I started thinking how it's posible that people that make a video about something stupid are more famous and earn more money for making that video than the people that make important things or just have talent.
For example around us we have a lot of people and we dont know nothing about about but , who knows if that person its a genius on the piano? Or at science? Or at sports? It's just we are around people that probably have something so special and while this person its fighting for being in the conservatory other person that make a stupid video and have more support than the others.
Okay in youtube there are people that make insteresting videos and make jokes and something like this and yeess it's funny but are others that have videos laughing at people or judging them , and they have millions of views ,other million likes and a million coments saying things like 'HAHA you are a goddess' and one comment saying how stupid is judging things on youtube and judging people for anything. We are making stupid people famous and we don't really care, and it's not the fact of making these people famous , it's the fact of making these people famous while amazing people don't have  support. We are a society that now is out of control and some people see the fun bullying and the pain of the others.

MY SKI TRIP-by Rafael Vargas-Zuñiga

My ski trip, By Rafael Vargas-Zúñiga.

Last long weekend I went with the school to Cerler, it was my second time that I skied so I didn´t ski very well but I made an important progress that weekend.

We left Madrid Thursday at 3.00 p.m and we arrived to the hostel at 11:00 p.m. We didn't do a lot of stops, we only did one stop of one hour, so we ate at that time. The second day we woke up at 8:00 a.m and we didn´t start skiing until the 11:30 because we had to rent the skis, boots,... That day we didn´t do a lot of things because it was the first day, we got some green slopes and also some blue ones. We ate at the ski resort and in the evening it was much better because we got some red slopes. We stopped skiing at 4:00 p.m and at 6:00 p.m. we went to a sports center to play soccer. The second day of ski was quite similar to the first but it was funnier because we got down some red and blues slopes very fast and also at the end of the day we went to a disco on Benasque. But the third and the last day was the best one we got some red slopes and also i got my first black slope. It was fantastic!!!, but the bad thing was that we had to stop skiing at 1:00 p.m and we had o come back at Madrid. We arrived Madrid at 11:00 p.m and each one went with their family. It was such  great experience! I will repeat that trip next year!

THE OSCARS-by María Pujol

THE OSCARS

The Oscars or Academy Awards are an annual American awards ceremony honouring cinematic achievements. It started in 1929 but it wasn’t as important as now. In the first ceremony only 15 statuettes were given and the audience was of 270 people, but now these awards are the most important ones in the world. This year, the audience has been of 37.260 millions of people and there have been given 2.947 statuettes. 

The statuette is made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base; it is 34 cm in tall, and it weighs 3.85 kg.

Before the ceremony, people show their dresses or suits in the red carpet, they are always very elegant. After the red carpet, the ceremony starts, which takes approximately 3 hours and a half.

This year, I have seen the Oscars for the first time; it is spectacular watching the dresses and all these things. What I don’t like is that the most important awards like best actor, best actress, best movie… are given the last ones so you have the intrigue of knowing who will be the best in that categories.

I recommend seeing this show if you have never seen it because it is really beautiful.

  

LOBA (SHE WOLF) BOOK REVIEW-by Patricia Valencia

LOBA (She wolf)

It´s a book about a girl who feels more comfortable with animals than with humans. She is rejected by her father because she is a girl. Her father is the king of a kingdom and he only wants to give the power to a boy. Because of that she (she is called Loneliness) acts like a boy. The kingdom of Loneliness is at war with the kingdom of magicians because they cursed The Wolf (which is the name of the father of Loneliness) for not having sons.

A young magician called Raven wakes up a giant red dragon that starts to kill the people around him. Loneliness and Raven must join forces to defeat the dragon.

When they go to the forest Loneliness discover something that will change her life.

In my opinion it is really good book that is about fantasy, adventures and there is a little bit of love. This book will absorb you with its interesting history.

NIGERIAN CULTURE-by Blanca Bonmatí

Nigerian culture:

This year from Jesus Maria we are collaborating with a project for Nigeria, therefore this country is very present in our day to day. So I have decided to tell you some general things on its culture and life style.

Language:

English is the official language, but they have many other African languages (Hausa, Kanuri…)

Meals 

They are prepared and taken home; the basic food is a goat, cow, chicken, turkey, geese, pigeons, fish, seafood and vegetables.

Clothing:

Women:

They were a blouse of long sleeve, a skirt and a hairdo or a kaba (long garment of only one piece that can be used of different ways).

Men:

They were a special pants style so called sokoto, a cap cut to be placed in the head or another type of hat (abbeti-aja) in which the wings are longer and clinging.

Society:

Men are the base of the society, they have small obligation to maintain their children or wives.

Very few women build a career or take part in politics, sometimes if they are visited by a man they are locked up.

Giving things with the left hand to adults or elders is considered to be a big disrespect.

ISTAMBUL SECRET MINI GUIDE-by Pedro Sánchez de Diego

ISTAMBUL SECRET MINI GUIDE

Istanbul (Turkey) is one of the most exciting cities all over the world and it is the only city that is placed in two continents: Europe and Asia.

There are a lot of monuments to visit like Santa Sofia, consecrated as a church in 537 by the emperor Justiniano and, converted to a mosque in 1453 or the Blue Mosque.

Another monument visited by tourist is the Topkapi Palace, where Ottoman sultans lived.

And, of course, everybody goes shopping to Grand Bazar.

But Istanbul has a lot of places and activities that people some times don't know. Here you can find some recommendations to do in Istanbul that people don't usually do.

-       Explore the Spice Bazaar. You can find exotic spice and granade Candy.

-       Take a ferry to Uskudar,  Asia. When you arrive at the pier, you will find stairs covered with turkish carpets. People wait there to see the sunset over Leandro Tower. 

-       Visit Ortakoy on Sunday. You can go by ferry and just before arriving, you will see one of the nicest mosques of Istanbul, the Ortakoy Mosque, built on the wáter. There is also a small market and you can eat the famous Ortakoy Potatos there.

-       Galata Tower. One of the most famous monuments of Istambul but, instead of visiting it, it is better to go to Konak Café. It is a small cafe placed in a Antique turkish house very near Galata Tower. The idea is to go up to the terrace, there you will find a nice restaurant with the same views as from Galata Tower.

-       Cafe de Pierre Loti. You can go by ferry to Eyup, here is one of the biggest cemeteries of Turkey. Turks use this cemetery as a park and it's very usual to see people spend their Sundays there.

MY LAST HOLIDAY- by Nacho Vallano

MY LAST HOLIDAY

Last holidays, I went to Italy and I had an awful first day, because first we couldn´t find the hotel and we walked like 8 hours around Rome. Finally, we found the hotel but at the hotel the receptionist didn´t write my mom’s name right and other problem was that no one of us knew how to speak Italian so the receptionist didn´t understand us and my dad had to hire a translator to speak with the staff of the hotel. Eventually, we found next to the hotel a Spanish restaurant and we asked them places to visit, they explained to us and we finally could have a nice holiday. We went to the Coliseum, San Pedro del Vaticano, the Roman forum, Piazza del Campidoglio, San Clemente.

And the next Day we met a friend of my dad, so he showed us his house and he showed us some greats monuments in Venetia. So apart from the first day, it was a great holiday and I really liked and enjoyed my first visit to Italy.
