My favourite singer. Adele.

She  is a British singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Art 
and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording  contract by XL Recordings after a 
friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. In 2007, she received the Brit Awards 
"Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008. Her debut album, 19, was released 
in 2008 to commercial and critical success. It is certified four times platinum in the UK, and 
double platinum in the U.S. An appearance she made on Saturday Night Live in late 2008 
boosted her career in the U.S. At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, Adele received 
the awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Adele released her 
second studio album, 21, in early 2011. The album was well received critically andsurpassed 
the success of her debut, earning the singer numerous awards in 2012, including a 
recordtying six Grammy Awards.
Her new song "Hello" is magical, it got into the first top music at the first moment.

MY FUTURE

When I finish my degree in English Studies, I would like to work teaching English for young people, especially in a high school. Although nowadays is very complicated to have a job in the public support, because the job market is very poor for too much people, but who does not intent it, does not get anything. 
But, other option for me is to work freelance, setting up a business, specifically creating my own English academy. This option is more difficult than the first option, you must have survival skills, because you are your boss and your money is in the balance. If this option goes wrong, you lose everything you have done with your effort. I think this option is more gratifying, and if you get your business goes in flood, you will be absolutely a good businessman/woman. Very few people get this.
In my opinion, become on a professional worker is very complicated, it carries very effort, sacrifice, courage and put love on what you do, because it is your future and a very important part of your life. During years you have been studying in a school for learn everything a person has to know, the general culture. Then, you have chosen a degree for in the future, work on this. But, when you finished all your studies, is the moment to demonstrate everything you know and you are better than others of job market.
This whole process is long and a bit complicated. Every time, the job market demand more and more, and you have to be prepared for everything, you have to train very hard and investigate all you can. You need to highlight between the people of your work.

To finish, you cannot forget that you never know everything, you are always learning new things and you can learn of everything. And if you are interested in your job, you will improve more and more, and you will stand out.

Emma Lazarus-Destiny


DESTINY
Paris, from throats of iron, silver, brass, 
Joy-thundering cannon, blent with chiming bells, 
And martial strains, the full-voiced pæan swells. 
The air is starred with flags, the chanted mass 
Throngs all the churches, yet the broad streets swarm 
With glad-eyed groups who chatter, laugh, and pass, 
In holiday confusion, class with class. 
And over all the spring, the sun-floods warm! 
In the Imperial palace that March morn, 
The beautiful young mother lay and smiled; 
For by her side just breathed the Prince, her child, 
Heir to an empire, to the purple born, 
Crowned with the Titan's name that stirs the heart 
Like a blown clarion--one more Bonaparte.

Describe someone

MET A CLASSMATE SPECIAL
I met a girl the first day of class and since that moment we are always sitting together. I get on well with her at the first second and I expect we will be always good friends. She is very funny and nice, she is always making jokes and laughing, like me. We seem us because we do not like de party, we are quiet people, we love go shopping and the motorbikes, and we love so much the English, is obvious. We confess us our secrects because we rely a lot of us. I hope this four years will be so special for us. She is my best classmate.

GUERNICA

First, I am very touched because we see the anguish of men during the civil bombing of Guernica. I feel compassion for the characters who suffer because of human folly. When we see the woman who had a dead baby in her arms, I am upset because I think for a woman her son is the most important of his life. The suffering of the characters can not leave indifferent.
Besides compassion, Guernica inspired me fear, fear. The presence of corpses, dismembered characters immerse us in a world of terror, a nightmare.
Then I have an impression of confusion because I do not understand the different forms, the presence of some characters that make up the picture. No clutch, I think each item is important, and everyone gives me a different feeling.
 Despite feelings of terror, fear and confusion, when I see the little flower in the center of the frame and candlelight espereza feel there is a return to peace between humans on earth. I hope that your picture will become aware of the inhumane nature of man.
I think represent the bombing of Guernica in a table allows all even understand children. Indeed, each has a different representation of the work, the important thing is to seek to understand their message through the box.

THE ART IN BRITAIN.

The 'arts' once had a somewhat precious and exclusive image associated with notions of high culture, which were usually the province of the urban and privileged metropolitan middle and upper classes or the landed aristocracy. There are activities may be amateur or professional and continue the mixture of participatory, spectator- and home-based entertainment. The funding of the mainstream arts in Britain is precarious and involves the private and public sectors. Members of the regional Arts Councils in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Spoil. They are responsible for diving up an annual governments grant to the arts and the finance has to be shared among cultural organizations.
 British theatre can be lively and innovative and has a deserved international reputation There are some 300 comnercial or professional theatres. The majority of West End theatres are commercial in that they are organized for profit and receive no public funds and they present a specific number of classical and innovative plays and a variety of other artistic offerings in a season. The West End theatres bring considerable financial rewards for the British economy.
Opera in Britain occupies a similar position to that of the theatres and is divided into subsidized, commercial and amateur companies The Royal Opera operates from the reb urbished facilities of the Covent Garden Theatre in London. Britain has many quality orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. There are regional symphony orchestras of high quality, such as the Halle in Manchester, the City of Birmingham Symphony, the Ulster Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. According to the DCMS National Survey of Culture, Leisure and Sport, 2006--07, the top six items in the top ten arts events attended by different household groups in descending order were theatre performances.
The history of the cinema in Britain has shown a big decline since its early days as a very popular form of mass entertainment and from 1946 when annual visits reached a total of 1 6 billion. Few British films are being made in Britain, many films made in Britain are either foreign or coproductions and the film industry has been criticized for making too many indifferent films. In I960 there were over 3,000 cinemas in Britain, but many have now either gone out of business or changed to other activities such as dancing and bingo. However, new screens have been built since 1996 and today there are 2,954 cinema screens. Annual audience figures dropped from some 501 million in 1960 to 193 million in 1970 This decline was hastened by the arrival of television and continued as new forms of home entertainment, such as videos, DVDs and the Internet increased Annual admissions had sunk to 55 million by 1984. There was a slight increase in admissions in 2009 to 173 5 million and combined box office takings in the UK and Ireland exceeded £lbn for the first time. The latest figures suggest that increased audience figures are due in part to the success of British-based films aimed at the younger generation.
British popular music increased hugely and influentially in Britain, led the world from the 1960s and was both an economic and cultural phenomenon. Since the Beatles and early Rolling Stones, the domestic market for music sales has multiplied more than sixfold. British popular and rock music still has a domestic and international following, is again slowly becoming attractive to the home and overseas youth market and constitutes a considerable industry. Music was worth £2 billion a year in 2003  and the industry employed some 125,000 people. UK record sales in 2003 saw an increase to 236 million pop albums, but a decrease to 36 million pop singles. In 2009 according to the British Phonographic Industry, the music industry grew in value for the first time in six years as record companies saw a rise in income from music sales to £929 million.
There is a wide range of museums and art galleries in Britain (some 1,860), which provide for a variety of tastes. Most of them are financed and controlled by local authorities, British Museum and the National Gallery in London, are the province of the Secretary of State for Culture. Museum and art gallery attendance in England rose to 34.7 million in 2003-4 and there were proportional increases in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Certain arts activities and their associated buildings have become virtual institutions, such as the West End, repertory companies, the Last Night of the Proms, the Albert Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, the National Theatre, the Tate Gallery (now called Tate Britain), the National Gallery and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon. They reflect Britain's lively (and internationally important) contemporary art scene.
