Hello guys!
I have been thinking a lot what kind of video put here for you, and I decided to put this one. Why?Becouse I think that sometimes we need to see something diferent ,something relaxing or funny(funny haha).At least ,for mi,the videos like this one result amusing.
In this video you can see that the natural enemy of the cats is the wather!It sounds funny(haha one more time)
This video was made by persons who have this animals in their houses ,so it is real .Cats hate the water!I don´t now why but it`s true.
So if you have a cat,and you are thinking about cleaning him up,look out! That thing,so cute and lovely ,can be a monster when smeel or feel the water!!!!But I'm a cats lover,and I don't care of that thinks,because I have mine's?.And my cats are very unnatural in this….They try to obeyme….. sometimes….
Well,I don't know what I have to write more…I love you all??

It's a short film. It tells the story about the ambition of a man, and how the quest for his success as an alchemist destroyed his family. But at the end of his days, the man lernt what things were really important in life. So, he wrote a letter to his son and gave him a very special gift to teach him it. Thanks to that, the son, who already was adult, lived happy with his daughter.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I!
See you in class.

Hello mates!
As a child I love the tales. Even now, reading, watching, listening or telling stories is one of the things what I like most. I think that the more mataphoric the incidents are, the more interesting the story. Because of this, I have chosen this video.Tuesday, February 16, 2016

Hi guys!
I've chosen this video that I would like to share with you.
The video show a William Shakespeare's daughter, who has bought a ring, gets a shock when her finger turns green - and William takes the opportunity to teach her a valuable life lesson. The story he told to her is about a Prince who want to married with a Princes, but first, she must choose between three boxes.
In my opinion, is a valuable history and it has a really interesting message, warns us about appearance and you not to be fooled by people or other things that look good, because they might not be as good as they look. There are many situations like this might happen in your life, say, when you go to buy and you see bargains or when you know new people. You need to be careful and not rush with your opinion or by choosing.
This is a history what we should never forget!
I hope you lke it and enjoy!

Hi guys, I would like to ask you a question "What does virgin mean?" I have doubt it and I want you to watch this video to understand what it mean.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3oYFS9g9I
Sometimes children ask us some very delicate questions and sometimes we think that they do that when they are really asking innocent questions.
I think this video can be an advertisement. I have enjoyed it because it´s surprising and the punchline unexpected.
I like advertisements on TV; each one can be a little film to attract everybody's attention and to manage that everybody buys the product. I like analyzing them to understand which strategies they use to achieve it. In this video, humor, surprise and sex are what the ideas man uses.
In the end I don´t know what is the brand of the product advertised. Is it an extra virgin olive oil? I don´t know but it doesn´t matter! I like it anyway!

I am going to talk about a -sense +scene from the movie -, "Apocalypse Now".
This movie is a perfect example -about +of the crazy and ruthless +situations of war.
The film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
It -starts +stars Marlon Brandon as Colonel Kutz, Robert Duvall as Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore and Martin Sheen as Captain Willard.
The film won a lot of awards, five Oscars, one Palme Do'r, two BAFTAs and three Golden Globes.
The film is set in +the Vietnam war and -It -it was filmed on location in the Philippines mainly.
I specially like one scene, where the cavalry is attacking a village in -yours +their chops (helicopters) while the soldiers hear "Ryde of the Valkyres" by Wagner.
Regards.

Teapot power
Hi classmates!
I've chosen a short video that I would like to share with you.
It's about a strange building. I'm sure that you have seen or known about some of them. They are amazing!
I really enjoy seeing this kind of architecture.
The video shows a quirky building in the shape of cup of tea. When I first saw it, I was fascinated. I couldn't imagine it had ten storey offices inside.
We can find it in a China city called Wuxi and it's the symbol of the city.
It can be compared with the White Towers or the Kio Towers in Madrid.
It's such a curious building that everyone wants to take it a photo.
If you are interested in these constructions, there are different ways of knowing them. You can have a look online or also by travelling. I prefer the second one.
See you soon!
