A report about a survey

The topic of the survey was "Your opinions about the future". The class of 2n ESO of Casa Nostra school, did the survey and in general they were positive about the future. These are the results:

Everybody thinks that humans will exist in the next millennium, and more than half of the class think that the world will be a better place because we'll reduce the pollution. Some people think that we won't be more intelligent in the future.

About half of the people in the group think that space won't be normal in the next century, and  nobody thinks that humans will live on other planets in the future. Everybody says that they won't travel into space because they'll be afraid.



A biography: Joaquín Cortés

He started to dance when he was twelve years old and he went on the Spanish National Ballet when he was fiftenn years old.

His most famous shows are Pasión Gitana, Soul and Live. He's characteristics are explosive, original and athletic.



A story about a rescue

The rescue happened while we were skiing in the Everest last weekend. It was scary because there was a lot of snow.

I was with my family and we were skiing down the Mount Everest. We were exploring the mountain when we saw a married couple shouting. An avalanche was coming behind them. A helicopter was watching all the zone, and as soon as it saw the problem, it went to the people quickly.

The helicopter took down a scale and the rescuers could climb down and rescued the married couple. They were brave because the avalanche was really hard and the mountain was very high.



Central Park

"It's surprising to find such a big park right iun the middle of Manhattan. One minute you're in the busy streets, the next you're in a park with trees and lakes. There are lots of people, but that's OK -the atmosphere is very relaxed. New Yorkers come to walk, jog, play football or just sit on the grass. It's breath of fresh air..."

In Central Park, there's a memorial to Beatles singer John Lennon. "Imagine" is Lennon's hit song about peace.



Jennifer Lawrence

Oscar-winning superstar and nice girl
Hunger games star Jennifer Lawrence is everywhere this month. I love English has some ideas on how to succeed like Jennifer...

MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS
Most actresses, if offered a role in The Hunger Games, would say "YES"! without hesitation. Not Jennifer Lawrence. She was worried that being famous would change her. She thought about the offer for three days, before accepting. Like Katniss in the films, Jennifer became a superstar overmight. But happily, she hasn't changed at all!

GIVE 100 PER CENT...
To prepare for her role in The Hunger Games, Jennifer worked very hard. She trained in archery four times a week, learnt tree and rock climbing, and had fitness and combat coaching. "If I look exhausted in the movie, that's definitely real," she says smiling.

LAUGH AT YOURSELF
Jennifer admits that she's not perfect. She's naturally  clumsy, and fell on the steps when she collected her first Oscar in front of Hollywood's most important stars. But she reacted to this embarrassing situation with humour. "You guys are just standing up because you fell bad that I fell", she said when the audience stood up in her honour.
