The situation we're living nowadays is really difficult for lots of families. Our school is always trying to help other people. And the first step to help others is to consider our own situation.

ESO 2 / 3 WHITNEY HOUSTON

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

 ('Greatest love of all', by Whitney Houston.)

On February 11, 2012, Whitney Houston was found dead in her  room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills (California). The cause of death remains unclear.


Whitney Houston has always been one of my favourite singers. It's a terrible loss to our world. She had the best voice of any singer ever and a lot of people think she sang like the angels. I think she was pure magic. It has been a sad ending to someone with great talent.


RIP Whitney.


Have you ever heard any of her songs? Try with this one and do the exercise below.

Let's have a look at the definition from Cabridge Dictionaries Online.

(A New Year's Resolution is) a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of the year.

"Have you made any New Year's resolutions?" "Yes, I'm going to eat more healthily and give up smoking."

Have you ever made any New Year's resolutions? I'm absolutely sure you all have.

Is studying more among them?

New Year's Resolutions (www.bbc.co.uk)

Tell me about your promises and post a comment with at least two New Year's Resolutions of your own (don't copy the others and try to be original).

Useful expressions:   I plan to…
