NEWS ITEM 3

Miley Cyrus has been a rebel surprise for everybody. Last year on VMA she appeared in a strange way dancing with Robin Thicke, as if they had a lot of confidence. People started saying that her performance was disgusting and the audience disliked it. This year she has appeared cuddling a British singer (Sam Smith) and it has caused another sensation.

However “Wrecking Ball” has had more than 715 views on YouTube.

Ms Cyrus’ and Mr Thicke’s trajectories were amazing even people made comparisons to other artists.

Twitter and Instagram helped Miley Cyrus’ popularity a lot. Bu although something sexuality arrived and they made a rebellion (smoking pot, partying with friends…)

All this happened, in my opinion, because Miley wanted to change her Disney-girl image. I like her and I think she’s not that bad because she’s natural and shameless. A lot of people have criticised her because of her behaviour and image change.

Only because she’s not a little girl anymore you can judge her. She has been the real change between Disney and reality. It’s true that her behaviour, apart from being original or different, has been “bad” but, people shouldn’t let themselves be influenced that much. 

Vocabulary: collide, soared, dazzling.

DREAMS

Dreaming is one of my favourite hobbies. I knew dreams can’t be controlled, but even though I love them.

Dreams appear in different situations: while you are sleeping, when you get fascinated looking at something… there are different occasions, sometimes I dream while I’m awake, and that’s not something people do, but I do.

I really love listening to music, and for me music is so related to dreams. When I go to bed, before I go to sleep, I take my earphones and I turn on the music. That makes me feel more relaxed even if it’s rock music, or dubstep, or anything else.

The most incredible thing about dreams is that when you have them while sleeping, most of the times when you wake up you can’t remember them. That feeling of happiness or angriness caused by a dream you don’t remember, it’s finally a feeling of frustration.

Even though I love dreaming and sleeping, hey are a great activity of imagination and development of your ideas. 

TEENAGERS WORK, STUDYING

“Batxillerat” consists in effort, improving yourself to have better marks. When I started that course I really couldn’t imagine how hard it is. ESO was so easy compared to Batxillerat. I thought we would do more difficult exams or something, but it isn’t only this, we have to do a lot of homework and make notes. It isn’t the same as last year. In 4^th of ESO we only made notes of the thing the teachers told us to, now we have to write down most of the things, because they’re all important.

That first impression I have of Batxillerat has been the first impression for the majority of my classmates. The exams we are taken are so hard because, for example, last year, when we finished a topic of each subject we took an exam and that was it. Now we plan a week or two each term and we take all the exams in that period.

Next year in second of Batxillerat I would have to improve myself a lot because in the second course you have to present the TDR, which means “Treball De Recerca” (a research project), in the middle of the year. We start that project in the middle of this year. Then, in the second year, we will do the selectivity exam to go to university; because we have to have some strict minimums and marks. The average of Batxillerat plus the selectivity exam and the TDR make the final mark to have the chance to get into university.

After Batxillerat, I would like to do an economics career or something like that, because the business world is something I like so much. I like numbers more than history, literature, languages or philosophy, because it’s easier for me.

I think I would like to go to UdG (University of Girona) because they do the “ADE” career, which means administration and direction of enterprises. I would like to be living in a flat there with two of my friends, Andrea and Sandra; because they both want to do some economics things like me. And when we finish, I don’t know, I will see it then.
