My favourite song by Michaela Constantinou from Cyprus

My favourite song is “whatcha say” because it"s a new song and I like its lyrics.
The song’s singer is Jason Derulo.

Lyrics

My favourite song by Helen Stavrou from Cyprus

The following song is my favourite one because its lyrics are fantastic.The song says about love; that is the reason I love it.This song´s singers are my favourite group called .

THROUGH THE GLASS
Lyrics

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of folks

So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins, contaminating everything
We thought came from the heart
But never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)

Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah

And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you, yeah
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah

And it's the stars
The stars that shine for you, yeah
And it's the stars
The stars that lie to you, yeah yeah

Who are the stars?
Who are the stars that lie?

"Love Story" by Taylor Swift

by Marilisa from Italy

My favourite English song is Love Story by Taylor Swift. I like this song because it tells about Romeo and Juliet’s story and their secret love. Their parents don’t want this love, but Romeo and Juliet go on until death.

Lyrics

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.
Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you

My favourite song by Mikaella from Cyprus

My favourite song!

My favourite song is "The best of both worlds". Its singer is Hannah Montana!!! In my opinion she is the best idol for the thousands of girls (and boys too) who listen to her songs. This song talks about Hannah Montana's life as Hannah Montana and as Miley Cyrus. She is one person who lives in two worlds. Hannah Montana plays in a tv programme, too. She has also played in a movie. I like this song because Hannah Montana is full of energy when she sings it! Her songs are the best because apart from love, they talk for other things like "true friendships".

Lyrics:

Oh yeah
Come on

You get the limo out front
Hottest styles, every shoe, every color

Yeah, when you're famous it can be kinda fun
It's really you but no one ever discovers

In some ways you're just like all your friends
But on stage you're a star

You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds

You go to movie premiers (is that Orlando Bloom?)
Hear your songs on the radio
Livin' two lives is a little weird (yeah)
But school's cool cuz nobody knows

Yeah you get to be a small town girl
But big time when you play your guitar

You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both
(You know the best) You know the best of both worlds

Pictures and autographs
You get your face in all the magazines
The best parts that you get to be who ever you wanna be

Yeah the best of both
You get the best of both
Come on best of both

Who would of thought that a girl like me
Would double as a superstar

You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best,

You get the best of both worlds
Without the shades and the hair
You can go anywhere

You get the best of both girls
Mix it all together
Oh yeah
It's so much better cuz you know you've got the best of both worlds

I love volleyball

Bruce Lee

by Luigi S. from Italy

"The best fighter is not a boxer, a karateka or a judoka. The best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style of fighting. "
(Bruce Lee)

Bruce Jun Fan Lee (Chinese traditional 李小龙, pinyin Xiǎolóng Li, San Francisco, November 27, 1940 - Hong Kong, 20 July 1973) was a Chinese actor, martial artist, philosopher. Born in San Francisco and grown up in Hong Kong, Lee is the most remembered actor in the world for the presentation of Chinese martial arts. His films, produced in Hong Kong and Hollywood, elevated them to a new level, for the first time and suddenly increasing the interest in this type of discipline in the West. Lee became an icon especially for the Chinese, as a portrait of national pride. Some saw Lee as a model for acquiring a strong and efficient body and a high level of physical fitness, while developing skills in close combat. Despite the violent content of his films, Bruce was actually a peaceful person and against the use of martial arts as a means of offence and leadership.

On the occasion of what would have been his 65th birthday (November 2005), a commemorative statue was laid on Avenue of the Stars in Kowloon, in his memory. In 1993 he was also honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Dance is My Life!

Barbara from Italy

My favourite sport is dance. I like all types of dance. I attended eight years of classic and modern dance, but I want to try a new dance and I think I will do Latin American dances, because I like them a lot. Last summer I did couple dancing for two months in an afternoon course at the seaside and I had a very good time!! It was a wonderful experience, also because I had the possibility to meet some stars of this field, such as Umberto Gaudino, Raimondo Todaro and Stefano di Filippo, who won the world championship in 2008. I watched them carefully while they were dancing on the stage during a performance of theirs and I dreamed with them: I hope to become a good dancer, but I have no illusions. The most important thing is to devote oneself completely!

In the pictures below:

Stefano Di Filippo

Raimondo Todaro

Federica from Italy

I've been practising this kind of dance for six years, since I was eight. It is very hard. I participate in some competitions every year. In this sport, the dancers wear particular clothes and shoes. They are very expensive because there is Swarovski crystal on them. I love that!

Giusy from Italy

The sport I prefer is Latin American dance. My idols are Michael Malitowsky and Joanna Lewis. I started dancing 10 years ago, when I was a little girl. I dance in competitions and I particularly like wearing my beautiful dresses! I really love them!

Dancing is a very beautiful thing, especially if you do it for passion. When I dance I feel free and I don’t think about anything else. My favourite ballet dancer is Rossella Brescia. I like her because even if she is not so young any more she is still in shape and she transmits emotions when she dances.

Volleyball and Swimming

"Pink" Football!
by Caterina from Italy

My favourite sport is football. I have loved it since I was five years old. I like watching matches on TV and my favourite team is Inter! I think it is the best team in Italy and it has a lot of good players.
I play football in a team called "Pink" (because in it there are only girls...!). We train twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. We take part in a tournament every year. This year we are in a good position in the table, but not first, like Inter!
Anyway, it doesn't matter, because I enjoy myself very much playing football!

We haven't got a favourite sport

I don't like sports
by Gigi from Italy

I think that sport is very important but I don’t like doing sports because I am very lazy.:)
It is very important because it is useful for your body and health.
In this period I’m going swimming but I don’t like it very much.

No favourite sports, but...
by Maria Rita from Italy

I haven't got a favourite sport, but when I have free time I go to the gym and to the swimming pool. I like swimming because I relax. If I could I'd stay in the water all day! In fact, I go to the swimming pool or to the gym when I've had a bad day, because then I feel better.
I go there about 3 times a week. I usually prefer going on Saturday afternoons, before going out with my friends. Anyway, I think swimming is more interesting and relaxing than working out in the gym.

Figure Ice-Skating

by Martina from Italy

My favourite sport is ice-skating. This sport is very interesting for me but I have never even walked on the ice rink. The most popular Italian figure ice-skater is Carolina Kostner. She was born in Bolzano on 8th February 1987 and now she lives in Oberstdorf, Germany, where she studies and prepares for the competitions.
Carolina has participated in several competitions, which have made her famous; in the year 2001, in fact, she won the Italian Junior Championship and many other competitions followed, which brought her to be named by the president of Coni standard-bearer of the Italian team, on 22nd November 2005.
Obviously she has made some mistakes during her competitions; however, for me she remains the best ice-skater.

What a feeling!

Rosanna from Italy

My favourite sport is dance. I’ve been practicing it since I was 4 years old, so for 11 years. I love dancing, it is a way to relax, to think, to reflect and it is a way to express what I don't succeed in saying with words. I have always loved it since I was a child. When I dance I don’t think about anything else, it is as if the problems that I have at that time magically faded away. Dancing with these feelings is a wonderful thing. I do classical, modern, contemporary, jazz dance, tap-dancing and hip-hop and these various types of dance are all splendid, each in its way, and each of them allows me to feel a different feeling while I am dancing. In short, dance for me is a sport indeed, but it is especially a performing art. The people who don’t practice it don’t know what happens inside you when you dance.

Viviana from Italy

My favourite sports are dance and football.
I started dancing at the age of five, but I stopped when I was nine because I had too much homework. I really like modern and Latin American dance.
I also like football. In my school I play as a defender and train every Tuesday afternoon. As a class we also play against other classes in the morning, when we have P.E. lessons.

My favourite sport: Horse-riding.
Horseriding is the art of maintaining precise control over a horse, and the different ways to handle it. The riding includes also the knowledge to care for horses and the use of appropriate equipment called harness, rig or harness.
These equipments are essential when riding a horse and this will have the animal controled.
Horseriding is a sport which needs precise control over a horse and requires a very good animal care and cleaning by the rider.

The synchronized swimming.

One of the sports that I like most is the synchronized swimming because it is a sport that combines swimming, dancing and gymnastics. The synchronized swimming consists of doing dance moves in the water. It is a sport principally for girls. In Spain there is a team of synchronized swimming that has won many awards, this one is composed only of girls. It is a very beautiful and elegant sport .

One of my favorite sports is football, because it is a very simple.
It is a very popular sport, and most people like and play.
My favorite team is Atlético Madrid, of course, but my favorite player plays for Barca, it is Lionel Messi.
I don't like playing football, but I like to see on TV or live.

The best thing about football is that everyone can play and is a fun sport.

January Awards

Being at the end of January we’ve reached at a good point in getting acquainted with each other throughout the posts and comments the students have made. Once again, all posts are very interesting and show your efforts and surely your teachers are congratulating you for that. Willing to embellish your continuous presence on our blog, we came to the thought of choosing dogs for virtual prizes!!!!

Mikaela from Cyprus wins the famous Chihuahua with 15 comments on her post! Chihuahua is a very small-sized dog with a proportionately robust build and distinctive facial features. Their body is stout and just longer than it is tall, and they have straight limbs. They have a sickle-shaped tail that curls over the dog’s back or off to one side. They have an apple-shaped head with a short, tapered, pointy muzzle. Their large eyes are round, dark, and can sometimes be ruby or luminously-colored. They have large, triangular-shaped, erect ears that are a distinguishing characteristic of this breed. Chihuahua puppies have a soft spot on the top of their skull that closes as they become adults. There is a long-haired variety of Chihuahua, but the most common variety is the short-haired Chihuahua.

Second prize (14 comments on her post) goes to Maria from Spain and it is a Bulldog. Bulldogs have comparatively small statures, they are stout, exceptionally sturdy, and widely built. They have muscular legs that are set squarely and contribute to the breed’s “waddle”. Their heads are thick and very large-sized with cheeks that reach the sides of their eyes. The Bulldog’s muzzle is short and pug and features a broad black nose with wide nostrils. Their upper lips are pendent and close over an undershot lower jaw. Bulldogs have round dark eyes that are set far apart and a pair of small, thin ears that are folded back. Their short tails are carried low. The coat of this breed exists in a number of colours including red, washed-out red, white, brindle, pale yellow, or fawn. Many coats of this breed are a mixture of several of the above colours.

Third prize the Maltese is a toy dog with a compact build and an overall appearance that denotes vigour, eagerness, and affection. The height from the dog’s withers to the ground is equal to the length from the dog’s withers to the tail. They have sloped shoulder blades and well-knit elbows that are held close to the body. Their chest is comparatively deep and their loins are sturdy, taut, and feature a slight tuck-up underneath. The neck of the Maltese is long enough to enable a high head carriage. The breed’s back is level and the ribs are well-sprung. Their limbs are finely boned. Forelegs of this breed are straight, with their pastern joints devoid of any substantial bend. Their strong hind legs are sturdy and moderately angulated at the hocks and stifles. They have small, round feet with black toe pads and a plumed tail that is carried elegantly over the dog’s back. The Maltese’s head is of medium length and well in proportion to the dog’s size. They have a slightly rounded skull with a moderately defined stop. This one goes to Stefania from Italy (12 comments on her post).

Mikaela from Cyprus (again!) is the top commentator of this month (53 comments) and her prize is a Labrador Retriever. Labrador Retriever is a strong, medium-sized dog with an athletic, well-balanced appearance. They are a short-coupled breed with a body that is the same or just longer than it is tall. Their back is strong, their topline is level, and their wide, strong loin denotes flexibility. They have a comparatively long neck that is muscular and rises in an arch from the shoulders. Their underbelly is almost straight, with little to no tuck-up being present in adult specimens. Forequarters of this breed are well-muscled, balanced, and sturdy. They have shoulders that are well laid-back and form a 90 degree angle with the upper arm. In addition to enhancing mobility of the dog’s forelegs, this angle allows the dog to achieve a strong forward reach.

Second prize is a Pomeranian and this goes to Marianna from Cyprus (21 comments). The Pomeranian is a compact toy dog with a short-backed build and an alert, intelligent expression. The breed is curious and buoyant, and every move they make is sound and coordinated. Their medium-boned body is slightly taller than it is long, and the length of their limbs is well in proportion to the rest of the frame. They have a short neck that is set well into the shoulders to permit a high head carriage. Their top line is level and their ribs are well-developed. The distinctive tail lies flat and straight against the back. Their moderately muscled shoulders are sufficiently setback to provide support to their neck and allow their head to be carried proudly.

The American Cocker Spaniel is the smallest breed of sporting spaniels. They have a compact body with a short back and a gently sloping topline. Their legs are stout, straight, and well-boned. American Cocker Spaniels have a defined, round head with an abrupt stop and a square jaw. Their friendly eyes are round, dark, and close-set, and their strong teeth meet in a scissors bite. Depending on the colour of coat, an American Cocker Spaniel could have a brown or black nose. American Cocker Spaniels have a beautifully soft, lush, silky, feathered coat. The coat on this breed is of medium length and comes in a wide variety of colours. This last prize goes to Stefania from Italy (again...!) she sent 19 comments this month.

Dance, dance, dance!

by Stefania from Italy

My favourite sport is dance, especially ballet.
I started going to a dance school at the age of six and now it is my ninth year.
Three years ago I started using the typical ballet shoes, the pointe ones. I love them but they are so painful!
Dance is not as easy as someone might think, it is very difficult !!
I hope I will go to my dance school for a long time!!

Extreme sports

Bungee Jumping

by Marilisa from Italy

My favourite sport is bungee jumping. It is an extreme sport. I like watching it. I’d like to do it but my parents think that this sport is very dangerous. In this sport you have to jump into space, usually from a bridge about 120-320 metres high, and let yourself swing in the air.

Surfing, Sailing, Windsurfing and S.U.P.

by Mario from Italy

My favourite sports are surfing, sailing, windsurfing and SUP (Stand Up Paddle), and in general all extreme sports. SUP is not as popular as the other sports; it is a mix of surfing and kayak, you have a big surfboard (the smallest one is 8.5 feet long and the biggest is 13.5 feet) and a long paddle, you must surf or go on a long distance race. In this sport I'm the Italian Juniores Champion, I won this title in Sardinia, on San Teodoro Coast (beautiful place!). This is a good sport because you do aerobic exercise, and you can do it every day, because the board is compatible with all the sea conditions. It is also great fun because you do it with a friend or with lots of friends!

My favourite sport is football

by Pasquale from Italy

My favourite sport is football. I like and follow it because it is a very special sport.
My favourite team is Bari, of course, the team of my city! I watch their matches and the interviews on TV and I’m interested in the transfer market.
I’ve always followed football and I love it. Football is not only giving a couple of kicks to a ball, for me it is an art and a passion.

Badminton and 'volàno'

by Alessandra from Italy

My favourite sport is called badminton. It’s similar to tennis, but the ball is smaller. It has a kind of fan in the bottom and it’s called “volàno”.
The racket has a long handle and the circular part with the net is smaller than in a normal tennis racket. Maybe you’ve seen this sport in cartoons. It’s a bit strange, and a little hard, because the ‘volano’ is small and difficult to see. I discovered this sport at school. I’m learning it and I hope lots of people can enjoy it!

Ballet is my dream!

Hi! I’m Dominga and my favourite sport is Classical Dance, because in the future I’d like to become one of the most famous dancers in the world, for example like Alessandra Ferri. She’s a very very good dancer and I like her because she is famous and beautiful.
I want to dance in the most important theatre in Italy, “La Scala” in Milan, like all famous dancers.
I hope this dream will come true one day! Bye! Domy
