Today I’m going to talk about music. I’ve chosen this topic because in my opinion, music is a perfect way to express feelings and different points of view about all kind of things that might be important or worrying for our society.

As it is known, music is a cultural product. Its aim is create an aesthetic experience to the listener and express feelings, circumstances, thoughts and new ideas to them.

That’s why every time we listen to a song; this song can remind us other situations when we listened to it or make us feel happy, sad, worried… and even make us cry.

I think that music is really important because without music I wouldn’t live. I need to hear music always, in all situations and places, even if I feel really depressed, I need to hear a certain song that might change my mood and could make me feel much better.    

I also think that music ties our life just with a simple song, I’ll use an example to make it easier to understand: When you’re with your friends listening to an specific song, watching a nice sunset in summer… and suddenly this same song is being played 5 years later in the car, then your different situations that you have lived before during your life, get linked just for a single song.

That’s what I meant when I said that for me, music is essential…

Hi! In three days we are going back to school, that’s not a good new at all but... today is Saint George’s day and we have to celebrate it!

In Catalonia is a very popular celebration. All boys or men that love a women or a girl give to them a rose, the typical one is a red rose, from my point of view it’s a nice color and it symbolizes the roses that grew up from the blood that came out of the dragon killed by soldier George the 23^rd of April. It’s just a legend but it’s an important one for all the Catalan people.

As I was saying, boys give a rose to the girl they love and girls give them a book. I think that is very difficult to find a good book for boy teenagers because most of my friends (boys) hate reading and that’s a pity. Anyway, the tradition says that you have to give them a book, and that’s how it works so… there’s nothing we can do or change. Although a book it’s difficult to find, I really love Saint George day!!
