Hi Chris,

Thaks for your email, sorry for not writing earlier, I was studying. My family is fine, I hope you and your family are well.

It's great that your brother has a new job, good luck in it! I Hope you get better soon, having flu is just horrible!
I think I know about a hotel which is near my house but it's too expensive. If you want, you can stay in my house.
Well, that's all by now. Give my regards to your family and good luck in your trip.
Best wishes,
Eva.

Hi Chris,

Sorry I haven’t written to you either! My email has been having some technical problems, but I finally solved them. And about your flu, I had flu last week, but luckily I got better, I hope you too!

I’m fine, I started a course about photography last month, so I’m very excited about the result!  Give Ian my congrats for the new job! I hope he has a good experience. They [who?] are fine; I told them about your coming in May, so they are very excited to see you again!

It’s so joyful that I’ll see you again so soon! There is a hotel, which isn’t too expensive, in the centre of town; it’s called “Bell Air Hotel”. On that half-day we could have lunch out, around the centre, catch up on our news during the afternoon, and at night we could probably go to Puerto Madero, which is awesome at night.

So, I’m waiting for May. Best wishes to your family.

Take care,


Anto.

Hi Chris,

 Sorry for not writing earlier but I was doing homework. Sad too hear about your flu but I hope you get better soon!

I'm fine! I started playing Football in a club called "Almafuerte", I train 2 hours twice a week. My family is great, my sister has started her new job the same as your brother. What a coincedence!. Also, my brother has started secondary school so he has been busy these days.

Glad to hear that you will be here! If I had to choose a good hotel to stay, I would choose the "Two Hotel" that it's in the center of Buenos Aires and it isn't expensive. Also, my father went some days there and he said that it's awesome!

You can come to my house, I will wait for you so I can show you great places that I sometimes (when I have free time) go to. Hope you'll come soon, I' cannot wait!

Hi Chris!
It´s ok, don´t worry about the mail, I´m very happy that you could reply it.
I hope you´re feeling better.
I´m fine, I´ve been studying very hard but I got really good marks so I´m very happy. My family is fine although my mother is a little bit sick. She has some headaches and cough.
I´m very happy to see you again, I really miss you. If you want to stay in a hotel in the centre of the town I recommend you the “TWO hotel Buenos Aires” It is quite economical as you are not staying for long.
I´m totally free (and excited!) to show you the best places in Buenos Aires, we will have a great time, I promise!
Well, I will tell my family that you´ll come; they´ll get very happy to see you once again, surely.
See you soon
Love you
Eva!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your email. I' m so sorry to hear about your flu. Hope you'll get better soon.

Things here are a bit boring. Every day I do the same: go to school, do the homework, watch TV... The same as always. Anyway, I'm really glad for Ian and his new job. Give him my best wishes!!

So, you said that you are coming to town in May.That sounds great! I've been really excited since I heard that! There´s a really good hotel in Central Avenue where you can stay, it´s not very expensive and it´s near my house. Oh, I almost forgot! In May, my favorite rock band is coming to town, so we can go to the concert during your free day.You'll love them, they are awesome!!

Well, I 've got to go (have some boring homework to do). Get better and give my regards to your family.

Cannot wait until May!!

Best wishes,

Eva

Hi Chris,

How are you? I also had a flu and I had to stay at home and rest last week but I feel better now. Hope you'll feel fine soon, too.

I´m very happy because on Saturday I´m going to a concert to see Ed Sheeran. I thought that I would go with my sister but she has to study a lot. She started going to university a month ago so she's very happy. My brother got a new job as a teacher in a primary school next to his house. And finally, my parents are fine.

That's great news! There's a hotel near my house called 'Agua Azul' which  isn't too expensive. I'll be able to make you a tour around the city!

Give my regards to your family, too.

Kisses,

Agus

The Fray - You Found Me

The Fray - You Found Me

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where've you been?" He said, "Ask anything."

Where were you, when everything was falling apart.
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
[ The Fray Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] 
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, Where were you? Where were you?

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

Why'd you have to wait, to find me, to find me?

Wake Me Up - Avicci

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where it starts.

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me.


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost.

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost.


I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
And I don't have any plans.

I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize.


So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost.

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost.

I didn't know I was lost.
I didn't know I was lost.
I didn't know I was lost.
I didn't know I was lost.


Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey oh)

Come to decide that the things that I tried 
were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone come get a little known,
but I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road, to the sea, to the sky,
and I do believe that we rely on.
When I lay it on, come get to play it on,
all my life to sacrifice.

Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh.
I got your hey oh,
now listen what I say, oh.

When will I know
that I really can't go,
to the well once
more time to decide on.
When it's killing me,
when will I really see,
all that I need to look inside. 
Come to believe that I better not leave,
before I get my chance to ride.
When it's killing me,
what do I really need,
all that I need to look inside.

Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh.
Come back and hey oh,
look at what I say, oh.

The more I see, the less I know,
the more I like to let it go, hey oh.

People need the cover
of another perfect wonder
where it's so white as snow.
Privatly divided by a world
so undecided, 
and there's nowhere to go.
In between the cover 
of another perfect wonder 
where it's so white as snow.
Running through the fields, 
where all my tracks will be concealed,
and there's nowhere to go, oh!

When to descend 
to amend for a friend, 
all the channels 
that have broken down.
Now you bring it up, 
I'm gonna ring it up,
just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road, to the sea, to the sky,
and I do believe what we rely on.
When I lay it on, come get to play it on,
all my life to sacrifice.


Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh.
I got your hey oh,
now listen what I say, oh.

The more I see, the less I know,
the more I like to let it go, hey oh.

People need the cover
of another perfect wonder
where it's so white as snow.
Privatly divided by a world
so undecided, 
and there's nowhere to go.
In between the cover 
of another perfect wonder 
where it's so white as snow.
Running through the fields, 
where all my tracks will be concealed,
and there's nowhere to go.

Seven Things (Miley Cyrus)



I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome, but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change
until you hear my dear


The seven things I hate about you
The seven things I hate about you, oh, you
You're vain
Your games
You're insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh,
you made me cry,
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks,
when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It's awkward and silent
I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it I'll believe it
If you text it I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not comin' back
You're taking seven steps here

And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The seven that I like
The seven things I like about you
Your hair
Your eyes
Your old Levi's
When we kiss, I'm hypnotized
You made me laugh,
you made me cry,
but I guess that's both I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine
when we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you

You do...

Feeling this



Jealous- Nick Jonas
I don’t like the way he’s looking at you,
I’m starting to think you want him too.
Am I crazy? Have I lost ya? Even though I know you love me, Can’t help it.
I turn my cheek, music up,
And I’m puffing my chest.
I’m getting ready to face you,
Can call me obsessed.
It’s not your fault that they hover,
I mean no disrespect.
It’s my right to be hellish,
I still get jealous.

Cause you’re too sexy, beautiful,
And everybody wants a taste.
That’s why (that’s why)
I still get jealous.

I wish you didn’t have to post it all,
I wish you’d save a little bit just for me.
Protective or possessive (yeah), Call it passive or aggressive.
I turn my cheek, music up,
And I’m puffing my chest.
I’m getting ready to face you,
Can call me obsessed.
It’s not your fault that they hover,
I mean no disrespect.
It’s my right to be hellish,
I still get jealous.

You’re the only one invited,
I said there’s no one else for you.
Cause you know I get excited (yeah),
When you get jealous too.
I turn my cheek, music up,
And I’m puffin’ my chest.
I’m turning ready to face you,
Can call me obsessed.
It’s not your fault that they hover,
I mean no disrespect.
It’s my right to be hellish,
I still get jealous.








Help- The beatles


Help! I need somebody
Help! not just anybody
Help! you know I need someone


Help! when I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, i'm feeling down

Help me. help me!





Bastille- Pompeii

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?


We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose is the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above


Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

What to do on a first date

Have you ever not known what to do on your first date? I'm sure that you have. Well, here there are some tips about how you can have a perfect date.


First you should ask basic questions, for example: her/his family, musical tastes, hobbies, studies, friends, among others. However you can ask strange questions, too. Like what animal you want to be. If the situation gets boring, you should say something funny. You shouldn't talk about yourself all the time because the other person wouldn't be able to talk about himself/herself. Depending on the place you go, you can wear formal clothes- if the date is in an expensive place;  but if you stay in a park, you must wear casual clothes. Otherwise, you'd look ridiculous!


In my opinion the first date is about knowing each other, so if you  are just  yourself, everything is gonna be alright

SofĂ­a

The Perfect Date

How a parfect date should be like? Here, I'm gonna help you, and give you some tips to make your date perfect.

     DO NOT BE NERVOUS: The last thing that you want on a first day (when you don't know each other yet) is to look like a stupid, because all of us- when we get nervous- start making mistakes and saying things that in your mind go like 'What am I saying?'

     BE SPONTANEOUS:  it is not true that topics should be started by men, If you have something  to say, I don't care if you are a girl or a boy, just say it. It is so uncomfortable when there is complete silence, and I'm sure that you don't want to be in that situation. It is a good idea if you go to the date with some questions previously thought to ask, but they have to look spontaneous; if they do not, it will be creepy because the other person will feel  like in a job interview.


   BE YOURSELF: This date won't be your last date ever, If this person Is not your other half, you don't have to pretend like you are perfect, because if the couple gets ahead, you will see all the differences and It won't work. I am not saying that you mustn't change for the other person, but don't be fake.

                                                                            Greta Mura

What to do on a first date


First of all, if you are going to meet a girlfriend or boyfriend somewhere you must think what you are going to talk about. Think some questions that you can ask them but they have to be original. If you know that they do any sport, you can start that way. Also, you have to be natural, be yourself and don't try to pretend to be someone you're not.
Moreover, you must wear elegant clothes and and try to look handsome. Also try to be clean and smell good.
Try to pay attention to what she or he is saying because you can always surprise them. For example, if a girl says that she loves flowers you can give her some in her birthday. And the most important thing, try to enjoy the date!

How to have an authentic date



Nowadays, communication is essential in our lives. People need to meet and interact. Dates are a good way of meeting people, especially if you are alone. However, it´s not that easy to get a good date without planning it, not to mention the fact that the first one is even more difficult. So, what do you have to do if you want a perfect date? Here are three essential aspects to consider.

First at all, you need to know that finding a partner is not that simple like in movies. For instance, you need to be yourself, don´t lie about who you are and just introduce yourself like the authentic person you are. Secondly, you must listen to your partner about what he or she is saying, let him/her talk and discuss with them during the conversation. If you want to be listened, listen to them too. Last but not least, you should talk about interesting topics and not always the same boring questions (they will get bored of you!). Be creative and it will be a really interesting meeting.


Taking everything into account, dates maybe aren´t easy and neither is it to find a good partner neither, but if you are just yourself, everything is going to be alright, and if it doesn’t, he or she might not be your one and only.

What to do on a first date



Do you want to know what to do on a first date? Ok, read this article and follow these steps to know what to do and not to do on that important day.

Firstly, you have to get ready yourself. Brush your teeth, brush your hair, and don't forget to wear clean clothes! Then choose some place that will be special for your date, like eating out or going to the cinema. Listen to what he or she has to say and it´s important not to over chat them. Eye contact shows interest so do it. End the night with a kiss, if it is possible- it will show that he or she is into you!

In conclusion, if you're on a date, follow these steps; they will help you a lot if you are insecure. If it is the first one, it is very important experience and it has to be really special; however, you should be able to just relax and enjoy the date.



Lola Pereyra

Your first and lovely meeting

You have to be moderate with your clothes. You must  wear neither loose nor baggy clothes; you have to wear your common clothes, as you must feel comfortable. And you have to be moderate with your grimaces. If you are going to arrive late at the date, let the other person know soon. If you are late, you will have to make it up for her to fall in love with you.

In your first date, try to be honest. If you lie, she will leave you when she really gets to know the truth about you. Other important things are the themes you talk about: Don´t talk about contentious issues, like religion, politics or similar ones; you cannot talk about your ex either. You will spoil the date. In spite of being nervous, you have to continue the chat. You cannot stop because of that and try not to  say that you´re nervous. 

You have to let her talk, and just comment what she is telling you about. But the most important thing you have to do is look her into her eyes. So with these tips you can´t have a bad date. Just follow my advice and enjoy your first and lovely meeting.

The ten rules

Nowadays it is not so hard to go on a date because of the new social networks. But I think that one of the most common questions is about... what to do on a first date.
In my opinion there are ten tips that you should follow on a date:

1. You should ask interesting questions to the other person
2. You have to talk about what things you like and dislike
3. Search things that you have in common with the other person
4. Be careful about what kind of person you are meeting, most of all if it is a complete stranger!
5. Make sure you are going to a place that both like
6. Try to be yourself, don´t pretend to be a  different person
7. Try to do something funny like ice skating or an original activity
8. Don´t talk all the time, try to talk and listen as well
9. Talk about general topics 
10. Try to dress appropriately for the occasion.

In my opinion the first date is about knowing each other, so, if I were you, I would be myself.

Ten of the most common mistakes  women make on a first date


One of the main objectives of a first date is to find out if two people are compatible.
For a single boy, a first date could mean a lot of things, such as  exciting moments, a romantic experience or sometimes it ends up being a really uncomfortable situation. Probably all men would agree on the following mistakes cimmitted by women on a first date. We will show you what you should avoid doing:

 1.   Talk about your ex boyfriend
 2.     Ask a lot of questions about his job or his personal economy
 3.   Don’t eat anything during dinner
 4.   Choose very expensive restaurants
 5.   Act as if you were already his girlfriend
 6.       Complain about how hard it is to know people these days
 7.   Use him as a psychologist
 8.   Flirt with other guys in the bar, or worst, with his friends
 9.   Never have an opinion
10. Act like his mom

Happy ending

Great job, well done! The final layout, organized by the girls. Congrats!

What is love about?



The greatest thing you'll ever learn



Today we will talk about love: romantic relationships and especially about this phrase written by William Congreve “Say what you will ‘tis better to be left than never to be have been loved”. What do you think about love? The definition of love is to have strong feelings for someone else, being in love with that person. 

Okay, so now we're going to talk about our point of view about love, this phrase and what it means to us.

From our point of view, love and being loved is one of the most important things in life. If you have a person who really appreciates what you are, you will always feel and enjoy the moments shared with them. However, some people don’t feel like this. In their opinion, love can be useless, or maybe they just don´t have time for it. However, there are a few people that, despite having love in their lives, don’t care about what they already had. It looks like such a sad fact that it’s hard to believe. Anyway, it´s like all of us do: we don´t have time for everyone except ourselves.

However, as a conclusion, there are people who really enjoy it, and then they lose it. But, on the other hand (like the phrase says), it’s better to lose someone who really loved you than never had been loved. The scars that someone´ s past affection had left you might heal at any time, but the feeling of loneliness is a deeper wound that only love can heal.

Love will find a way.

Love will find the way means to us that no matter how hard the situation or relationship is, love will always win. If it’s a “forbidden” relationship, and you love each other, you’ll find a way to meet your beloved. However, there are couples that cannot succeed because of their parents, because they are very strict for example. This is when sneaking out the window, or lying to your parents is brought about. But you do it because you want to be next to the person you love, and because of that, you look for a way to meet them.

“Love will find a way” is a very popular title for songs, we know some of them like: “Love will find the way- by Yes” which says “Love will find the way if you want it to, love will find the way for me and you”; or “Love will find the way- by Christina Aguilera” that goes like this: “The rain won’t last forever, find a way to make it better, long as we can stand together, love will find a way”. These lyrics explain a little what we said previously.Also there is “Love will find the way” from the famous movie The lion king 2, which says “I know love will find the way, anywhere I go, I’m home if you are there beside me”.


We think that you will always try to make a worthy relationship work, so if it's meant to happen, love will always find a way. 
Greta, Antonella, Agustina. 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder



People usually say that “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. And it means that when you love someone and lose him or her, you feel empty and you don´t feel pleased at all because the one you love has gone away. 

So we can see it in children lives: when a child goes to school he or she doesn't want to enter because their mother isn't going to be with them

There is another meaning: “absence makes the heart grow fonder” because if you often see your pair, you won't miss him or her a lot, in fact, you will feel more attraction to the other person if you are not always with him or her.

Anyway, when you lose someone that you really love, you have two options: Remember him or her , crying with nostalgia or you can get stronger and remember him or her with happiness. 
Even if you are in a relationship that isn’t going well but you really love your partner, you must do what is better for both of you. 

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and It makes love stronger too. Also, it affects your relationship on how much you will love the other person. We think that it is better if you often see your partner than if you are always with him or her because eventually you'll get bored and you will miss the feelings you used to have for the other person.
