Jamaiiica

Hello class, Hello teachers.

Good morning everybody

Well, the country that we chose is Jamaica because we think that it’s a country that can interest to all the class. Ok, let’s start.

Jamaica it’s the third biggest island of Antilles. The Capital is Kingston that it’s the biggest commercial city. The official language is English but the Jamaicans spoke a local dialect which is a mixture of words in Spanish, African and French

The islanders are nice and friendly people and they love smiling. His economy is based on the fishing, the growing of pigs and the cultivation of their lands. They still follow the tradition of build their house with wood and paint the wall with shine colors. The music is in their blood, and they love dancing. The minimum musical sound in the distance takes them to it.

I’m sure that everybody sometimes have been listening about the (restafarismo), but I think that anybody know a lot about it. The (restafarismo) isn’t a religion, it’s is a culture, that was born in Jamaica, and it around all the Caribe and in the black communities of Gran Britain and USA. His culture is based on the bible.

For them, the (rasta) is a very important symbol and they respect it a lot,
The flag of the (rastafirs) is red, that means the blood spread of our brothers, the yellow the gold, the green it means the grow, and the black the colour of the skin of their brothers

Well now we speak about the music of Jamaica. Jamaica has different kinds of music like, ska, rocksteady, dub, dancehall, ragga y ragga jungle, and finally the most typical and that everybody knows is the REGGAE
The reggae is a derivation of ragga, that is an abbreviation of raggamuffin, in English his significate is harapiento. We use this label to descript the poor in Jamaica, and also the Rastas and cultural movements of the poor districts.
The name “reggay” his means is “regular”.

The most popular music is the reggae wich Bob Marley created, who did a culture, with his music. The first kind is ska where he was the father. Also, he create a band called: “The Skatalites”. Other oldest music on the island is Mento, the Ghost and Calypso.

The Reggae’s father is Bob Marley that you know. Bob Marley was a musician and member of Rastafari Moviment.
Their songs talk about peace and love, and whit their rhythm people fly and discover other fascinating worlds.

One of the best-known anecdotes about the Jamaica sport is the victory of his selection in the world championship bobsleigh, a winter sport.
Jake the other day said that Jamaica hasn’t got a good team of Football, but we say now, that in 1998 Jamaica went to World Cup of football, this it’s a great job, but they only got 3 points, and they can’t passed to the other round.

If you go to Jamaica don’t forget to eat the most famous lunch: “the rondón” and the “bushy” that is a very delicious drink but also is very strong, control because you can get drunk.

at the moment I can't put the video, I have a lot of problems..

Frankenstein

After we reading the book and after watching the film, we saw that the book and the film had a differences:
Elisabeth in the book has got blue eyes and blond hair -- She has got brown eyes and dark hair.
Victor has got young brother twins (William - Ernest) -- He has got only a young brother (William)
Victor’s father dies of sadness after Elisabeth’s death -- Frankiestein kills Victor’s father
Victor creates Elisabeth after she dies -- This topyc hadn't pass.
Frankenstein has a yellow eyes and the skin also, and he has 2,50m -- He is a normaly person, but he is very ugly
Victor met Henry Clerval in the university --- they are childhood friends
Henry dead -- He didn't dead
Felix and Agatha, the poor family, they are a marriage -- they are brothers
They do the honey moon in their house -- they went in front of the one lake

legend: purple --> book / black --> film

It's a good history?
Well I think that this film it's a very importan and famous, in my opinion I think that it was better films than this, but well I liked to see it.

My cousin

MY COUSIN:

He’s Aleix is my cousin. Went he was born I went to the hospital to saw him, and my uncles said if I want to do bridesmaid, and of course I said yes!
He’s only 1 year but for his age he’s tall. He has a green and grey eyes, his eyes are strange, because went he stay in the shadow his eyes are dark green but went he stay in the sun his eyes are green-grey, a strange color that I never had seen. He’s blonde, it’s strange because all the family has dark hair, but I think that when he will be older his hair will change.
He is little, but this doesn’t mean that he hasn’t got a character. He is very nice, when someone go to him they always smile, although when he has bad humor, it’s terrible because he starts to put bad faces and crying, and nobody can catch him. Also he has a strongly character, because if you did something that he didn’t like he always start “speaking” he said “eh eh”, but not whit a nice voice if not with a strongly voice. Sometimes he has two-faced, because a part that he is a nice baby, he sometimes search the people for lunch or dinner, for the food, he is intelligent for this, and for other things. How he is a baby he is a naughty, he loves playing whit “lego”, and always went I finished to do a house he just destroyed it.
He is my first little cousin, my other cousin are older than me, for this I considerate that he is a treasure, maybe are my imaginations, but sometimes when I was sad, he came to me and he sits in my legs, and he huge me or sometimes he does the clown! It’s very nice! Maybe he does involuntary, but this thing do that day by day I love him much, because I must to say that first of all, I thought that he was a “silly” baby, because everybody do more case, maybe are the jealous, but now I don’t think so and I think that it’s the best cousin that someone can has.
