This is what makes us girls.

Remember how we used to party up all night 
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life 
Drinking in the small town firelight 
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) 

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived 
Walking down the street as they whistle, "hi, hi!" 
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys 
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive 

There she was my new best friend 
High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind 
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes: 
"Lana, how i hate those guys." 

This is what makes us girls 
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first 
Don't you know we'd die for it? it's a curse 
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it 
This is what makes us girls 
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first 
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him 
It's all gonna happen 

And that's where the beginning of the end begun 
Everybody knew that we had too much fun 
We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job 
(With the boss) 

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived 
Baby's table dancin' at the local dive 
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight 
Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night 

Know we used to go break in 
To the hotel pool, glittering we'd swim 
Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops 
Screaming, "get us while we're hot" 
"we don't give a what!" 

This is what makes us girls 
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first 
Don't you know we'd die for it? it's a curse 
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it 
This is what makes us girls 
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first 
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him 
It's all gonna happen 

The prettiest crowd that you had ever seen 
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean 
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens 
And you know something? 

They were the only friends i ever had 
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad 
I got sent away, i was waving on the train platform 
Crying 'cause i know i'm never comin' back 

This is what makes us girls 
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first 
Don't you know we'd die for it? it's a curse 
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it 
This is what makes us girls 
Darlin' little queens do you know what you're worth? 
I'll tell you everyday till you get it, girl 
It's all gonna happen... 

This is what makes us girls now, baby 
This is why we rule the world now, baby 
This is what makes us girls now, baby 
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh... (x2)

I love this song because I feel so identified with what it says and I like so much Lana's voice. 

It speaks about teenagers life and tell things that people don't want to speak, it's so clear with the missage what it will transmit.

I can say that I wish have one best friend like Lana, because she understand her best friend and they both do really crazy things. Live without crazy things, is rather boring!

Who is she?

The person I will describe is my english classmate now, but before it we was friends. She's really well as a friend. We've been friends since 3rd of ESO and we were together in Italy trip. She's a happy person and she makes me laugh everyday!

My friend's so thin and has a medium-height. She has long wavy blond hair (and I love it!). She's fair skinned and perfect big blue eyes, She alwais wear a lovely scarf or similar. Sometimes she has rather red-faced.
She loves going shopping and wear fashion clothes or shoes, like me.
At first moment she's rather shy, but when you know her better, she's extroverted, crazy and she never stops to speak. She's a funny person, a little insecure and self-critical (I think it's good because you try to overcome yourself day-by-day) She's sensitive and she's always busy. She's a little lazy, like everyone.

In my opinion one of her best qualities is she always says what she think about you on your faces either these are good o bad.

You know who's she?:)

Dear Ms Pinto

I know that are the principal of our high school cannot be easy and would have a lot of problems, but, in my opinion there are some things that needs a change.

 First of all,  I think the teachers should agree with the marks, when they take up or down your mark with your decimals.

I agree with some of center decisions, but I disagree with the change that has batxillerat, I think we've enough responsability to have more freedom.

On the one hand, something is better than four years ago and our center has been progress. But on the other hand there are things that are worst than in the past, for example, the IWB. In ny opinion, are useless for a lot of classes because many teachers do not know how to use it, ant it costs a lot of money, is so expensive.

I also think that we must to have one or two day trips and going to the opendoor day of the universities.

Here is my opinion, thanks for read my letters

Your sincererly,

Meritxell Romans Casas.

Smartphone power struggles: Will we ever have battery-free mobiles?

Summary:

Smartphones are much better and so smarter but with this phones the battery run out so fast. And in Barcelona Movile Congress that was one of the important points that they present, moviles with more battery, with more independence. Particularly, it speaks abous Nokia's phone and its technology sistem because it's new.

Opinion:
I am agree with this news because now I have a smartphone (iPhone 5) and the battery run out so fast and it's a problem for me because I leave home at seven o'clock at morning and I coming back at nine o'clock at afternoon. This means that I can't stay by the phone for a long time because after that, I run out of battery.

Spain’s Premier Is Drawn Into a Widening Graft Scandal Gripping His Party

5 words I didn't know:
widening-> ampliar
ledgers-> llibres de comptabilitat
Former-> ex
claims-> reclamacions
lawmakers-> els legisladors

Summary:
The president of our govern and other lawmakers extra money since 1997 delivered by Barcenas, the treasurer of Popular party.
The newspaper El País reveals the secret and another scandal erupts in Spain and splashed the most importent people of the govern. People are angry with all of them.

Opinion:
I always thought that politicians weren't honest, but I never thought they can get to the point of stealing. If it's true, in my opinion, they must pay for what they did, like other people. This is a pathetic scandal, and now, I understand the reason why other countries don't want to relate with Spain.

People! Zara commits to go toxic-free!

5 words I didn't know:
hazardous -> Perillós
rid -> lliurar
breakthrough-> progrés
environtment -> medi ambient
disclose -> revelar

Summary:
Zara now joins on the committed to Detox to eliminate hazardous chemicals of their supply chain and clothes. Zara's commitment to eliminate the worst chemicals by the end of 2015 is a breakthrough. This is a good thing, and now other companies should do the same because there are a lot of toxic pollution in the world.

Opinion:
I wear a lot of clothes of Zara and other brands in the inditex group and I never thought in the chemical or toxic pollution problem. It's bad, but I think every brands like Roxy, Ralph Laurent or others, have the same problem with the pollution. I'm against that but I cannot do anything, I must wear clothes.
As the text said, by working, we can have a world without pollution.
