Game of Thrones

' Game of Thrones' was written by George R. R. Martin and is the first book of his saga 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. George R. R. Martin is a bestselling English author thanks to these books. And 'Game of Thrones' is a new original series from HBO.
This book tells the story of the people of Westeros and the lands of the Summer Sea. 'A Song of Ice and Fire' is told through the eyes of characters who are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from one another- even chapters may vary in how much time they can cover. With such a structure, the narrative is not sequential; sometimes important things are happening simultaneously a hundred leagues apart.
What I enjoy the most of this book is that is set in the Middle ages and there are knights, maidens, fights, kings fighting to determin who is going to sit in th Iron Throne and rule The Seven Kindoms of Westeros- even dragons are alive. You can't predict what is going to happen to a character because it may occur that his or hers plans change from one day to the other.
People will enjoy reading these books because the story is so gripping and passionate that you just can't stop reading. No one can get bored of it as a result of the permanent change in the events and the - both expected and unexpected- deaths of different characters. I strongly recommend this saga for everyone older than 14- some parts are a bit hot.
Just remmember: Winter is coming


Unusual Hobbies

Introduction

The aim of this proposal is to suggest unusual hobbies for the proyect of documentaries. Hobbies are something ordinary among people. Everyone has one. Same of them are typical but same not.

Hobbies I do

There are two hobbies I am Particulary interested in: dancing Tango and having a collection of different fossils. But, due to the fact that my father is an archeologist it is easier to me to get fossils rather than going to dance classes. This means I have a huge and marvellous collection.

Unusual gardening

Same people are keen to have gardening as their hobby- taking care of the flowers and the garden. Same others, like my friend, find appealing a different kind of gardening, in my frined's case: mushroom. Though it is a strange habit, is what he likes doing and he really enjos it. Besides, those mushrooms are excellent.

Different points of view

Everyone likes taking pictures, and believing they are profesional photographers. But one of my friends likes seeing life from a different angle. What I mean for angle is pictures from above or below. This unconventional view of reality without turning into subreal photography is impressive. She likes standing in balconies and taking pictures of the people as they pass by. Lovers, kids, fights, sadness, happiness, all this can be in the same picture.

Conclusion

To conclude, I believe that those hobbies may not be strange but they are not commun and people will enjoy watching programs about them.

How do we learn languages?

Intruction
The porpurse of his report is to comment on language learning in my country, to describe who learn them anda where, and which ones are the most popular of all and to make suggestions that could be made in the way we learn other languages.

Languages that are learnt
Languages are learnt by many people and the most popular ones are: English, French, Italian and Sapanish. This could be accounted for the globalisation we have nowadays. People tend to learn English more than other tongues due to the fact that globalisation is in English. Countries like the USA or England control the global market and if you want to be in it means you have to know their languages to be communicated.

Learning methods
There I'd a wide range of people learning languages, from tiny kids, that are starting their education in kindergarten to mature people entering their elderly days. Not only can you learn them in a school or an institute but aksi in the offices of the embassies. Moreover, attending classes in classroom is not necessary. As a consequence of thousand of websites and 'apps' for mobile phones, you can be at home lying on your bed and you are being taught how to use passive voice, for example.

Recommendations
I would recommend to attend an institute or call in view of the fact that being with someone face to face teaching you is more useful than a machine. Studying by yourself without anyone assisting you could result in a bad pronunciation or a lack of contents. However, it has been proved that those sites and apps can be a helpful tool to practise and learning

Journal, April: William Shakespeare

April 23 marked the birthday of William Shakespeare, who was born in Stratford-Avon, England, in 1564. He died on his birthday in 1616. He was the author of at least 154 sonnets and 36 plays, which include Romeo and Juliet, Hamblet, and Merchant of Venice. He was not only an author but also a poet, a playwright and an actor.
If I had to choose between writing a play, watching a play, or acting in a play, it would be a really tough decision. But after meditating about it for a while I definitely choose to act in a play, because I love acting.
But because I love acting is not the only reason. It is more delightful to be on stage and look face to face to the other actors and watching the audience reacting to every single thing that happens in the play. I like being able to interpret different emotions and actions with the unique excuse of amusing other people with your interpretation of another person.
 I really don't know much about Shakespeare, and though I haven't read any of his plays I know because of general cultural facts about his work. I could say that my favourite play is Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is my favourite play because it is the best love story ever and it has a lot of drama. It has a lot of passion and it has to be an example to every couple all around the world of how you have to fight and stand up against the world, if you need to, to be with the person you love. Even though they both die in the end they died because they couldn't live in this planet if it wasn't with the person they loved.
