my last summer

MY LAST SUMMER

This last summer I stayed in Bantyoles all the time. During this time I followed a routine wich will tell you now. First I get up at 12 o'clock and went to take my mother to buy coffee and lunch. Around 3 we ate and then I do my homework. Sometimes I swam the club with my friends or watch a movie. I saw many movies during the summer, but now I will tell you a short summary of the movie "Life of Brian". The film is a parody of the story of Jesus in wich main character is called Brian. Brian is a son of Roman. Brian hated romans and does everything to find out who his father was. At the end of the film Brian dies on the cross. In the evenings I usually played videogames with friends and at one o'clock I went to sleep

Kick-Ass 2

The first Kick-Ass was a hilarious interpretation of the superhero genre in wich an ordinary boy tries to become a  costumed crime-fighter. In this sequel, he is joined by more social  misfits desperate to become heroes and they from Justice Forever, the world's first super-team (with no real super-powers). If it is half as good as the original it's worth seeing

Thor: The Dark Worlds

Tds- Global warming

The North Pole melts and temperatures today are not normal for the stake of the year we are now currently.Is also because in many countries have changed both the temperatures that occur in temperatures that had never happened in history. This is an example of me taking care of our planet.
 
Can you quote another term for global warming?
Climate change is a major problem that would be addressed immediately, as future generations may not live on this planet. ALL WE NEED IS CHANGE.


Watch the video and explain this idea: Global warming: panic or reality?

Chelsea 2-1 Benfica

Chelsea have won the UEFA Europa League trophy with a 2-1 victory over SL Benfica in the final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner in injury time.

A 93rd-minute header from Branislav Ivanovic gave Chelsea a stunning 2-1 victory over Benfica in the Europa League final on Wednesday as the London club claimed the trophy for the first time in heart-stopping fashion.

The game in Amsterdam seemed destined for extra time after Fernando Torres’ superb 60th-minute opener for Chelsea was cancelled out by an Oscar Cardozo penalty, only for Ivanovic to net a dramatic winner with a looping header in stoppage time.
Moments later, Chelsea’s players greeted the final whistle with a jubilant mass embrace, as they became the first team to simultaneously hold the Champions League and Europa League titles.

Chelsea, Benfica set for Europa League final

After a lengthy campaign, Chelsea and Benfica have survived and will square off in Wednesday’s UEFA Europa League final in Amsterdam.
So the question now is: how will they react to such adversity and the sudden realization the championship is lost after having things go their way all season long? The chance to make good is staring them in the face. It won’t be easy of course, but victory would also help erase the memories of back-to-back losses to Chelsea in the quarter-finals of last year’s Champions League. It could be the last opportunity they have for a while, as well. Benfica is a selling club and the likes of Lima, Oscar Cardozo and Nemanja Matic could all be sold. It might be now or never for Benfica.

Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid boss to leave next month

Real Madrid have announced that head coach Jose Mourinho will leave the club at the end of the season after three years in charge of the Spanish giants.

President Florentino Perez revealed the decision at a packed news "We've decided to bring our relationship to an end," said Perez. "Nobody's been sacked, it's a mutual agreement."

Real Madrid have two games left this season. They are away at Real Sociedad on 26 May, with Mourinho taking charge at the Bernabeu for the final time on 1 June against Osasuna.
"The club and manager agree the timing is right to bring our relationship to an end," Perez added.
But Perez denied a replacement had been lined up to take over from Mourinho.
"We have no pre-contract signed with any managerial candidate," he said.
"It's something we'll have to look at in the coming days."
  Paris Saint Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti had earlier said: "I've asked to leave and I am waiting for their answer."
