Hello, we are Laura and Ainara and we are going to show you a video and more things about bizarre foods:

Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern is a travel and cuisine television show hosted by Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. The first season debuted on Monday, February 26, 2007.

Bizarre Foods focuses on regional cuisine from around the world which is typically perceived by Americans as being disgusting, exotic, or bizarre. In each episode, Zimmern focuses on the cuisine of a particular country or region. He typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served, and, usually without hesitation, eats it.

Originally a one-hour documentary titled Bizarre Foods of Asia, repeated showings on the Travel Channel drew consistent, considerable audiences. In late 2006, it was decided to turn the documentary into a weekly, one-hour show with the same premise and with Andrew Zimmern as the host. In 2009, Zimmern took a break from Bizarre Foods to work on one season of the spin-off Bizarre World.

DRAMA...

What's drama?

Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance.The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drama), which is derived from the verb meaning "to do" or "to act" (Classical Greek: δράω, draō). The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception. The early modern tragedy Hamlet (1601) by Shakespeare and the classical Athenian tragedy Oedipus the King (c. 429 BCE) by Sophocles are among the masterpieces of the art of drama. 

The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy. They are symbols of the ancient Greek Muses, Thalia and Melpomene. Thalia was the Muse of comedy (the laughing face), while Melpomene was the Muse of tragedy (the weeping face). Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BCE)—the earliest work of dramatic theory.

The use of "drama" in the narrow sense to designate a specific type of play dates from the 19th century. Drama in this sense refers to a play that is neither a comedy nor a tragedy—for example, or Chekhov's Ivanov (1887). It is this narrow sense that the film and television industry and film studies adopted to describe "drama" as a genre within their respective media. 

Drama is often combined with music and dance: the drama in opera is generally sung throughout; musicals generally include both spoken dialogue and songs; and some forms of drama have incidental music or musical accompaniment underscoring the dialogue. In improvisation, the drama does not pre-exist the moment of performance; performers devise a dramatic script spontaneously before an audience.    

This is the biography of William Shakespeare: 

William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.

Hello I am Ainara and I am going to explain you the uses of may and might, and some exercises to practice.

May / might

may

We can use 'may' to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used very often in modern spoken English

• May I borrow your pen?
• May we think about it?
• May I go now?

We use 'may' to suggest something is possible

• It may rain later today.
• I may not have time to do it today.
• Pete may come with us

might

We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.

• She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.
• It might rain this afternoon.
• I might not have time to go to the shops for you.
• I might not go.

For the past, we use 'might have'.

• He might have tried to call while I was out.
• I might have dropped it in the street.

Grammar

Hi I am Helena and here I´am to lend you how to use should shouldn´t (advice).

Should and shouldn´t - use

We use should and shouldn't to give advice or to talk about what we think is right or wrong. You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do it. You shouldn't means something like I think it is a bad idea for you to do it. Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I think or I don't think. Examples You look tired. I think you should take a few days off. Alice works very long hours. She should to talk to her boss. - I have an English test tomorrow. - I shouldn't worry if I were you. You have worked really hard. - I never have enough money. - I don't think you should go out so much. Should - Quick Grammar Note To give advice to someone you can also say: I should do it if I were you. I shouldn't be so rude, if I were you. When you regret not doing something in the past, you can say: I shouldn't have spoken to him like that. I should have apologized earlier.

And here is a link for practice it I advice that is the same page were I got the uses and the examples, I wish you enjoy it.

Hi, I am Laura, and this a song of ONE DIRECTION, it is called MORE THAN THIS.

Hi I am Helena and this is my favorite song and I am going to share with you, I wish you enjoy it.

Fiereflies.

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I
Would just stand and stare.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)

Leave my door open just a crack.
(Please take me away from here.)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac.
(Please take me away from here.)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here.)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies.
I'm weird, cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell.
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few,
And I keep them in a jar.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd
Rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

 Most people when listen relateimmediately swastika Hitler, Nazism, but in reality this is not an invention Nazi symbol, the swastikahas ancient origins. Its roots, as some books of history, dating back to the Bronze Age.The word Swastika Swastika or, as some call it, is derived from the Sanskrit "swastika" which means "well-being". It was used in ancient times as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, symbol of peace and joy.

'Germany Arrests 93-Year-Old 'Auschwitz Guard'

German authorities have arrested a 93-year-old man they say served as a guard at the Auschwitz extermination camp.

Hans Lipschis was deported from the United States to Germany after U.S. authorities found that he lied about his past.

'The Final Solution'
The Holocaust happened between 1933 and 1945,when Adolf Hitler, as Chancellor of Germany,used his power and that of his generalds to persecute the Jewish people in Germany and beyond. This eventually led to the murder of  6,000,000 Jews and the destructionof  5,000 Jewish communities.
Gradually, the Jewish population of Germany and beyond wass separated from the rest of society by special laws, and forced to live in 'ghettos'. These were walled areas away from the rest of the population. Eventually, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps for execution or hard labour.

My opinion of the book "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas":
I think it is very sad... The Second World War,the holocaust,and all the families that were killed ... It is all very sad and unjust. The book it is very good, I like it very much: the vocabulary, the expressions... The history is real so it is very interesting .

Hello, I am Laura, now I am going to talk about
 "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".

- The book is interesant because it is something
 that happened in the past, but it is very sad.
It is about a German family.
One day, they had to move away from Berlin, because Bruno's
 dad was a soldier and had to exterminate Jews in the concentration camp.
Bruno, went out to play and found a boy in the other side of the fence and they became friends, but one day Brune entered in the other side of the fence to search his friend's father. 
Bruno never return home after that.
- I recomend you to read the book, and later the movie, to understand it better.

Now I am going to give you some information about ANA FRANK

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl, during the Second World War had to hide to avoid falling into Nazi hands.

Anne was sent to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, and later, to Bergenbelsen, where she died of typhus on March 12, 1945.

The Diary of Anne Frank was published in the Netherlands on June 25, 1947 with the title "The back house"

-The first edition of Ana Frank's Diary:

-Ana Frank:

SHOAH

The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the mass 

murder or genocide of approximately six million Jews during 

World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored 

murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi 

Party, throughout German-occupied territory.



These are some of Terezin´s children drawings and

My opinion of the book of the boy in the stryped pyjama.

I enjoy very much the book because is very interesting that Bruno goes to explore his new house and went he met Shamuel he goes more or less all the days to see him and give food but I think that it was a very stupid thing the Holoucoust catch muslims and jews and kill them because they were different and thew were all the same because they were all people but different at the same time.
Postdata:this opinion is absolutely no offense intention.
