MY FAVORITE FILM

My favorite film is called ''IRREPLACEABLE YOU ''. It's a dramatic couple film that talks about a couple of two young people: Abbie and Sam. They think that the girl is pregnant but then they discover that it isn't a baby but the girl has cancer. After that, the girl starts living her life everyday as it it's her last. She tries everything, she makes new friends and she does everything to make her boyfriend happy, After some months the finally decided to marry, but sadly the night before the girl dies and she leaves a letter for her friends, her family but especially for  her boyfriend where she thanks him for everything. I really like this movie because it's a very strong topic and makes you understand how life is important.

STORY: I NEED MY MONSTER

This story talks about a child who was searching for a monster. The boy had his own monster who was called Gabe, but that night Gabe didn't come home because he went fishing. So the boy started searching for an other one. At first, a monster came, his name was Herbert but the boy didn't like him, so he went away. A second monster named Ralph, came but the boy didn't like him too. Then a third monster came, the little boy really liked the claws of this one, but then he discovered that the monster was a girl, and since he wanted a boy, the girl went away. The last monster came but like the other monsters, he went away. Now the boy was alone and had no monsters. But suddenly he heard a voice and he recognized that it was Gabe. The boy asked him why he was there, the monster told the boy that the fish were so easy to scare and there was no challenge while the boy was a big challenge for him. The boy was very happy and finally he was ready to sleep with his real and scary monster.

STORIES

FIRST STORY: I WILL NEVER BE A COOK
-When I opened the gift box I found a book about recipes for some special plates. Since it was my mother's birthday I decided to make a cake for her. So I prepared the mixture, I've turned on the oven and I've put the cake inside. While the cake was inside the oven, I realized that I didn't have the powdered sugar, so I went out and I bought it. After that, I came home and I saw a lot of smoke. I was scared but finally I realized that I left the oven on. Suddenly I went to the kitchen and I've turned off the oven. Sadly the cake was burned, but what a relief! In the end I went out and I bought a cake and a present for my mother. 

SECOND STORY: A SPECIAL MOMENT OF MY CHILDHOOD 
-When I was 10, I was in the 5th grade and my class did a performance for the last day of school and all our families were there for watching us. We practiced hard for 3 months and finally we were ready. The show started at 10.00 A.M. , we played, we sang a lot of songs, we recited and we danced together. The show ended at 12.00 P.M. , we ate some sweets and the teachers gave us some presents for celebrating. I was very happy and finally I hugged all my friends and my family.

EASTER

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion. The Council decided Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. It is commonly thought that the word Easter comes from a pagan figure called Eastre. The only problem with this theory is that it has no basis in history. The same is true of the origin of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs—no one knows for sure how these things became a part of Easter observances.The legend of the Easter bunny bringing eggs appears to have been brought to the United States by settlers from Germany. The German tradition of the Easter bunny migrated to America in the 1700s. The Easter bunny has become the most commercially recognized symbol of Easter in the United States.  



TRADITIONS AROUND THE WORLD

-In Florence, locals celebrate tradition known as ''Scoppio del Carro''. An ornate cart packed with fireworks is led through the streets of the city,  then, outside the Duomo, the Archbishop of Florence lights a fuse during Easter mass that leads outside to the cart and sparks a lively fireworks display. 


-Children in Scandinavian country dress up like witches and go begging for chocolate eggs in the streets while in some parts of Western Finland, people burn bonfires on Easter Sunday. 


-On the morning of Holy Saturday, in Corfu people throw pots, pans and other earthenware out of their windows, smashing them on the street. 


-Easter is such a popular time for Norwegians to read crime novels known as Paaskekrimmen.


-On Good Friday the Pope commemorates the Via Crucis at the Colosseum. Mass is celebrated on the evening of Holy Saturday, and on Easter Sunday, thousands of visitors congregate in St. Peter's Square to await the Pope's blessing from the church's balcony.

MALALA YOUSAFZAI

Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997,  in Mingora. In 2007, when Malala was 10 years old, the Taliban began to control the Swat Valley and girls were banned from attending school and cultural activities. Determined to go to school, Malala started to blog anonymously, she wrote about her life under the Taliban rule.

MY ROLE MODEL

My biggest inspiration is Michael Jackson. Known as the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson was a best-selling American singer, songwriter and dancer. As a child, Jackson became the lead singer of his family's group, the Jackson 5. He went on to a solo career of astonishing worldwide success, sadly he died just before launching a comeback tour in 2009. Michael Jackson was known for his philanthropic activity. His philanthropy manifested not only in the support of numerous charitable organizations and initiatives, but also in his keen empathy and willingness to help individual people in need. The record of Michael Jackson’s charitable activities is extremely long. In January of 1985  Michael wrote charitable single “We Are The World” aimed to raise funds for the relief of famine and disease in Africa. In 1992, Michael Jackson established his own charitable organization: Heal The World Foundation and besides his own foundation, Michael was known to publicly and privately support the others organizations. 
Kind, gentle, caring, energetic, sociable and funny
When I was very young, my mother was a big fan of Michael Jackson, so I always listened to his song and I grew up with his music. Even now, I keep listening to him, because his songs have a beautiful meaning, my favorite one is ''Human Nature''.
