MY HOLIDAYS - AND YOURS?

My holiday in Limerick - Ireland

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Alfonso Soler) — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 09:57:00 +0000

What did you do last holidays??? Post a comment telling the class all about your holiday here!!!!!!!

As you can see I was in Limerick, Ireland, for 2 weeks.

Have you ever been to Ireland? This was my first time in Ireland! and I loved it!

The weather here is mostly rainy... even in summer... but sometimes there was some sunshine.

As you can see in the picture, Limerick is by the river Shannon. This beautiful picture shows the castle of Limerick by the river, as well as St Mary's church.

Do you know the religion in Ireland? Ireland is a Catholic country and the Pope is the head of the church. However, Britain is a Protestant country and the Queen is the head of this religion.

What else... beutiful green Ireland. I love the countryside here! The scenery and green valleys have a lot of cows, black-headed sheep and black crows

I really find peace in this place.

Also, the people are really nice and kind.

Did you know they have 2 official languages?

1) English

2) Irish

Irish is a very different language to English. It is a Gaelic language that the Celts brought to the island.

So, tell me all about your holidays now!!!

Where did you go?

WHITNEY HOUSTON HAS DIED AT 48

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Alfonso Soler) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 09:49:00 +0000

I am sure you all know Whitney Houston, one of the most famous black voices in the world. She got specially famous in the film 'The Body Guard' with Kevin Costner.

She has won two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards as of 2010.

Despite her amazing career, Whitney was on drugs, which might have been the cause of her death today. I am really sorry that this has happens and still happens to people who have everything on their side, and because of drugs, their life ends shortly and sadly.
Whitney Houston was very young, and still had a long life to live to delight us with her music.

Now, I'd like to remember her beautiful song with you

JUSTIN BIEBER IS A WOMAN???

noreply@blogger.com (Laura Alfonso Soler) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:07:00 +0000

Do you like Justin Bieber? He has recently visited Spain and he was on 'El Hormiguero' with Pablo Mota, did you see him? He seemed quite smart (even if I don't like his music much...). But I know many of you teens like him.

But look at what I found... in the programme 'America's got talent' similar to the programme in Spain 'Tú sí que vales', Justin Bieber in the shape of a girl... wow... no word for her talent... she's amazingly good!

But... you know... the truth is that... I didn't like New York!!!! Yes!!! It's a myth... but I don't like high buildings, I don't like the crowds, I don't like the smell of hamburguer everywhere!
I prefer nature, small cities or towns... so next time I'll visit the USA... I may visit Colorado!
