MUSIC PERCEPTION

There is something that I regret a lot. The music perception of the young people. A lot of teenagers will agree the music is so important in his life. But they don’t know what music is, they only listen to music superficially, they learn the basic motive and the lyrics. This is all they know about music.

I regret people don’t know the world behind a song. All the harmony, how it’s possible to write the best score without even heard a note. Also it’s sad that the only music they know is the music of the moment. People tend to consider boring or bad the music that has more than 50 years, and they put all in the classic music box.

But then when they listen to it in the soundtrack of a film they love it, like Clair the lune by Debussy.  

The story of music is long, varied and for me is interesting, but I guess if you don’t know what are you loosing it’s normal to do nothing.

Sisters meet after 30 years

This article was published in News in level, the 10^th of March of 2016. http://www.newsinlevels.com/products/sisters-meet-after-30-years-level-3/

The news talks about the story of two sisters that meet each other after 30 years being separated.

They were separated and put in adoption when a volcano devastated her town as the authorities thought they had no family.

After 30 years, one of the sisters came across with a Facebook video which has her sister.  

The sisters meet and now are trying to find her parents but with no success.

This article astonished me when I read it. It’s like the typical film, but in this case it’s real. I don’t know how I would react if I discover that my sister is alive after all this time knowing nothing about him.

BEST MOMENT TO TAKE A GAP YEAR

The best moment to take a gap year is before starting a job and settles down, in your youth. If I had to decide when to have a gap year I don’t know if that will be before or after the career.

By one hand, going before the career is better because you are 18 and is a good age to know yourself and to make up your mind before start this big and different stage as it is the university. Also maybe after the career you need to work to life by yourself.

But by another hand, after the high school  is when you remember better all the things you have learned and also you are excited with the idea of leaving home and being independent in your own flat, and start studying something you really like. So maybe you don’t want to wait a year to start you career.

So finally I think the best option is to travel and go wherever you want during the summer. Anyway I have time  to look thought.

TDR

One month later I had no idea of what topic choose for my project. I though in something related with biology as the practice part could be easy because we have the lab available in summer. Also I was really interested in the relation of music and maths because when I do harmony notes and numbers are always together in order to make a good composition. But searching about this topic I saw it was complicated. Finally I find out a serie called lie to me and I saw the first chapter. The serie was about facial microexpresions and I decided to look up about this topic and I found that the serie was supervised by the creator of facial microexpresions, so the serie was kind of real. This is how I came across with the topic of my tdr which has been accepted.

MY MORNING STORY 

I’m going to tell you a story that just happened to me last morning. Yesterday I was so tired at night at 11.00p.m so I took off my clothes, I putt on my pyjamas and I went to bed. I was nearly to drop off when I realised I had English homework in which I had to make up a story so I switched on my alarm and advanced it 3o minutes to do it. Therefore I dropped off. I woke up thinking I had to speed up because I didn’t have all the time if I didn’t want to miss the bus. I had a coffee and I turned my mum up. She asked me if I couldn’t sleep and I said that I had woken up because of homework. Then she looked at me weird, I looked the watch and it was 3:00 a.m! I went again to sleep and I don’t know why my alarm this morning didn’t ring so I couldn’t get on the bus. I didn’t have time to come up with story but I’ve been lucky the teacher was missing at 8am so I could do my assignment.
