Dear brother
I haven´t see you for a long time, but I have not stopped thinking about you, ever.I now live far from home, in a huge stone castle: it has four towers, my bedroom which faces north, from which everything is white in winter reminds me of the ghosts Christmas story, Christmas Carol
The castle has also long corridors and large living room. The kitchen is very large and there is plenty of food, the maids are very friendly.
The library is a magical place full of books and ancient paper scrolls
There is a beautiful story of a princess and a prince living a beautiful love story, the two are in love.
I also want a prince charming and not that dark Count.
I hate him, even if my fiance does not speak of anything else other than money.
I am sixteen years and I do not want to marry , I want to leave here, but I can´t
Hugs and kisses
Your little sister

Peace Day- January actvities: Gandhi
Complete these exercices and post the answers in your blog:
Mahatma Gandhi
In the 1930s and 40s Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was one of the most important leaders of the movement that was struggling to free India from British rule and make it an independent country, a goal that was finally achieved in August 1947. However, that isn’t enough to explain why so many people think of Gandhi as one of the greatest political figures of the 20th century. What really made him special was his belief in non-violent resistance to British economic, political and military power: he believed the way forward for the Indian independence movement – and for all people suffering oppression – was simple ‘non-cooperation’ rather than violence. Non-cooperation included strikes, boycotts, the refusal to pay taxes, and the willingness to go to prison if necessary – tactics that were effective in putting pressure on the British authorities.
Gandhi’s ideas certainly influenced the leaders of other 20th-century freedom struggles, such as Martin Luther King in the United States and Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
Gandhi was born in the northern Indian state of Gujarat, the son of an important local politician. His parents arranged for him to get married at the extremely young age of thirteen, and he became a father before he was twenty. His family wanted him to become a barrister and sent him to study law at university in London, where his dislike for English food was one of the things that made him become a vegetarian for the rest of his life.
In 1893 he went to work as a lawyer in South Africa, where his political beliefs began to develop as he saw the discrimination suffered by non-white people, including the country’s large Indian community. He also moved closer to Hindu religious ideas, particularly ahimsa or non-violence.
After returning to India he decided to live a life of ‘simplicity’, which meant giving up unnecessary spending and owning as few clothes as possible. In 1918 he encouraged poor farmers in Gujarat to resist a new tax introduced by the British. The authorities put him in prison, but thousands of people protested and soon he was released. The British compromised with the poor farmers, and Gandhi became famous all over India.
Over the next 30 years he devoted himself to the cause of Indian independence. He lived long enough to see his dream become reality, but he was sad to see the violence that surrounded the division of the subcontinent into two countries for Hindus and Muslims respectively – India and Pakistan – because he had always believed that the followers of the two religions should be able to live together peacefully.

All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up
Up in the club, just …
I’m doing my own little thing
Decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cuz another brother noticed me
I’m up on him, he up on me
Don’t pay him any attention
cried my tears, three good years
Ya can’t be mad at me
[Chorus]
Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he won it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
(Chorus)
I put gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
… in my Dereon jeans
acting up, breaking my …
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don’t pay him any attention
Cuz you had your turn
But now you gonna learn
What it really feels to miss me
(Chorus)
Don’t treat me like things of this world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
He’s a man that makes me and takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m not the one you own
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a … I’ll be gone
All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up
