It's Christmas time


It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all
Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world 
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the worldLet them know it's Christmas time again 
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

MY FAVOURITE PHOTO

One of my favourite photos is this one of Covadonga Lakes in Asturias.

I took the photo in the summer of 1989 when I was on holiday with my wife María.

We were doing a trip on motorbike in the north of Spain. These lakes were famous because one stage of The Spanish Cycling Tour took place there. While I was taking the photo my wife was looking at the beautiful landscape. After that, we sat dowm on the grass and we had lunch together.

I like this photo very much because when I look at it I remember those wonderful feelings from my youth.

I keep this photo in a book about my different trips on motorbike.

The new technologies have propitiated the development of new forms of learning. In case of the languages, the didactic application of these resources favors the autoformation for not traditional routes, as the idiomatic exchange with other users across chat or e-mail. Web sites like My Language Exchange, which allows that more than one million persons of 133 countries should practise between them up to 115 different languages, Shared Talk or Busuu, on-line community to learn languages with more than three million users in the whole world, give direct access to these services.

Charles Dickens, 200 años del nacimiento de un hombre de letras… y de cine.

Charles John Huffam Dickens ( 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his lifetime, and he remains popular, having been responsible for some of English literature's most iconic novels and characters.
Many of his writings were originally published serially, in monthly instalments, a format of publication which Dickens himself helped popularise. Unlike other authors who completed novels before serialisation, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialised. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliffhangers to keep the public looking forward to the next instalment. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.
Dickens's work has been highly praised for its realism, comedy, mastery of prose, unique personalities and concern for social reform by writers such as Leo Tolstoy, George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton; though others, such as Henry James and Virginia Woolf, have criticised it for sentimentality and implausibility.

PALACE OF WESTMINSTER


The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the heart of the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the historic Westminster Abbey and the government buildings of Whitehall and Downing Street. The name may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex, most of which was destroyed in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today. The palace retains its original style and status as a royal residence for ceremonial purposes.
