MY WORLD: THE MUSICAL

This year, students of subject of music were prepared throughout the year to make the musical. 

The teachers chose to make the musical of fame. The first time we hear about Fame we didn't agree because we didn't knew nothing about their history. But then, we liked the story and  during the second and third quarter we prepared the musical. We were two classes, to each class a student had a character in the play. It was decided that one class will do it saturday and the other class sunday.

The musical was on 28 and 29 April. During the last week we started to go to the municipal hall to the dress rehearsals, and everyone was scared because nothing came out well. The dances out moderately well but not too well. People did not know his script and also didn't know when to go on stage. Overall a huge disaster.

The last days started out well. The day of the musical everyone was very nervous but it went very well and everyone liked it. We had a great time

MY FAVOURITE LOVE MOVIE

My favourite love movie is THE LONGEST RIDE, and is a romantic movie.

The starring of this film are Sophia that is a university student who loves art and, Luke who is a bull rider on the Professional Bull Riders tour.
One day Sophia and her friends are going to see one of these shows of bull riders and Luke and Sophia met. Then Luke asks to have a date and Sophia accepts. They go together and when the date had finished and they are going home. They see a car accident and go to help this man who has a box with cards.

sophia and the man who had the accident called Ira began to speak, and Ira asks to sophia to read the letters inside the box as he can not read because is too old. These letters tell the story of how he met his wife in 1940. After the car accident Luke and Sophia starts to be a couple and  simultaneously the movie tell the story of Ira and his wife in 1940. 

But to know how to end their stories, you should see the movie.

  Lie down with me                                                              

 vine a dormir amb mi                                                       

And hold me in your arms

i agafa'm amb les teves mans

And your heart's against my chest,

I el teu cor al costat del meu pit

your lips pressed to my neck

els teus llavis pressionant el meu coll

I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

Estic caiguen pels teus ulls, però encara no em coneixen

And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

I amb un sentiment que oblidaré, estic enamorada de tu ara

  
Kiss me like you wanna be loved

But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms

pero estic fred com el vent que vufa axins que abraça'm amb els teus braços

Oh no

oh no 
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck

el meu cor al costat del teu pit, els teus llavis pressionen el meu coll

I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

This feels like falling in love

aixo es sent com enamorar-se

Falling in love

enamorar-se

We're falling in love 

ens estem enamorant

I interpret that this is a romantic love song, trying to show that love is very powerful and you can not avoid it. People fall in love when they least expect it and I think this is the best thing about love, that  you do not know when will be.

I think that the song also tries to teach that love is beautiful, it is important to be loved in this life.
