EDDY MURPHY: I'M AN ALIEN!!!!!!

He is Eddy Murphy: he's an actor and in his latest film he played two shares:
a spaceship and his captain.
The film's name is "Meet Dave" and Dave is the spaceship's name.
He said he has a lot of fun to play that part, and he has made comments on the
possible arrival of an alien on the Earth and on the possible reactions of the
people.

This article speaks about how to save the whales.
The main character is Dave and he is against this.
He lives in New Zealand.
To help this problem is born an association to help the whales.
They are abused and some also dead.
It's, at me personal opinion, a horrible action!!
We need whales...

WHAT'S NEW FROM THE "ANGLO" WORLD?

We're going to publish some reviews of a few articles taken from SPEAK UP and chosen by the students of the 1^ class...
Enjoy them...


PHILADELPHIA MURALS

On the magazine Speak Up I found an interesting article that speaks about some colourful murals of Philadelphia. In this city in 1984 Kathryn Ott Lovell started the Mural Arts Program that continues also today because she thinks that art doesn’t only belong behind the walls of galleries and museums, but that it can be really accessible for people. The murals tend to celebrate such typically American themes as optimism, diversity, opportunity and growth, self-belief, hopes and dreams, and overcoming adversity. Local resident and community activists loom several times life-size. But if you really want to experience the true spirit of the city, you should see the murals, you should see the city through the murals.

DUFFY

The protagonist of my article is Duffy, a very pretty young girl that comes from Wales, in the south-west of England.
Her real name is Aimèe Anne Duffy.
The topic of this article is Duffy's current tour, that will play in Italy, on Sunday, the eighth of June.
She's became an artist because her lyrics can't stay in the dark of a box.
They're inspired by many things.

She's not sort of... self-indulgent writer; she just likes to write stories, and...put them into song.

J.K. ROWLING A FAMOUS WRITER BUT NOT ONLY

Recently J.K. Rowling famous for Harry potter’s books had written a new book “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” but this isn’t a normal book because there are just seven copies. Six are in the houses of her friends and one hand written copy was auctioned for charity at the amazing price of 2.5 million. The money was donated to the charity The Children’s Voice. She said that she donated the money because she didn’t need another money : she earns about 2 million at week!!

STARS LOVE ALTERNATIVE NAMES


What’s their real name?

Who?/what? Stars and singers/change their names
Where? In all over the world
When? -
Why? Making their names more beautiful and attractive
How? Changing them


Many singers and stars decided to change their names with others. The new names are more beautiful and easy; people remember them easier and they are more attractive. Madonna chooses to keep only her first name and to “put away” her South-Italian surname. Also Shakira modifies her name because her real name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll. Shakira, in Arabian, means “woman full of grace”. If I say Cherilyn Sarkisian, nobody know that I’m speaking of Cher, because she decided to simplify her very difficult name. Dino Crocetti tried being Dino Martini, but later settled on the more American-sounding Dean Martin. Farrokh Bulsara, renamed Freddie by English school friends, choose Mercury (the planet and metal) to represent his shining rock star image. Steve Demetre Georgiou hid Greek origins with the name Cat Stevens. Now he prefers Yusuf Islam. Georgios Kyriakos Panayiotou is difficult to remember, but George Michael sounds like a star.
For celebrities is easy to change name, but for normal people isn’t the same!
