WARNING
1. Identify the words that you consider important for understanding the lyrics of the song.
Remember, live without warning.

2. What is the message of the song?
It is that we have to live without complications, don't think always what we have to do but do what we want to.

3. Is it ok. to be afraid all the time?
No, you should take risks don't be afraid all the time, it's not good for you becouse you restrain your wishes, in the world there are many things to do and to know so live your life.

4. Should we break the rules?
the rules were done to be broken, but some of them are necesary to get harmony  between us.

5. Write a personal reflection about the importance of taking risks and live life to its fullest.


In my opinion life is so beautiful that  only it depends on you how you want to live it. Life would be boring if you always do what you have to do, it's great when you feel the emotion to do what you want but you get it when you take risks. Life gives you chances but if you be afraid to take risks you won't take advantage of them.

Try to take risks, if you do it, you will find if it worth it or not otherwise you won't know it. Remember and don't forget if you want to achieve something you need to take risks,  nothing ventured, nothing gained.

A ghost was seen at the Gran Colombia University.


Last friday a little girl was seen  at 11:30 pm  by the university's guard, The lights of the classrooms were being turned off  when a girl passed across the hall, the guard thought that some student had been in a classroom finishing her homeworks late. The exit doors had already been closed so the girl was looked for, but she wasn't found. Next day the experience of the guard was told to the manager's cafeteria "Marina", she sayd that the girl have already been seen by her and other guards even by some teachers. 


The university was built over an old hospital this could be the reason of the ghost, the guard hopes the ghost isn't seen again.

THE CONDITIONALS

What do you know about conditionals?
I don't know much about conditionals, but I think they need to use "If" in their structure.

What woul you like to know about conditionals?
I'd like to know everithing about conditionals: when I used them, how their structure is.

3.  Answer these questions in your post:
  a.  What is a conditional?

 A conditional is what we use when we need to express that the action in the main clause can only take place if a certain condition is fulfilled.

  b.  When do we use a conditional?
A conditional is used when we need to express general truths, things which may happen, things which are unreal and  to talk about unreal situations in the past, that is, things which did not happen in the past.

c.  How many types of conditionals are there?
In the video are four types of conditionals: Conditional Zero, conditional I, conditional II and conditional III.

4.  Fill in the following chart:

My vacations of Holy Week



What I did on Holy Week

This Holy week wasn't vacations at all to me, I had to work from Monday to Thursday, the rest of the weekend I decided to stay at home, these days I got up late, got together with my relatives and my boyfriend, ate a lot of fish, did homeworks and watched religious movies.

Actually I’m  a catholic person so there were some things I couldn’t do like go to a party, drink beer, listen to music loud, so on, I think  Holy Week  is a week to reflect  therefore I went to my neighbor’s church with my parents and brothers, I watched movies like José and The passion of the Christ.

Also I had time to share with my friends,  I got out with Cristina, she is an old friend, I hadn’t seen her  for a long time so we met on the  shopping center near to my house, we talked for hours, ate an ice cream we really had a great time.



I almost forgot to do homeworks, to tell the truth I waited until the weekend to do them,    so I did some tasks and in the Sunday evening I went to the cinema with my boyfriend, we watched Hansel y Gretel: Witch hunters, it was an interesting film we didn’t think it was a good movie, I really like it, although I couldn’t travel, this Holy week was nice to me.
