Charm

I think love and charm are a beautiful relationship because Love is a little magical and it’s pleasant to believe that there are “recipes” to attain your love. When I was a child, in all magazine for little girls we find articles with cleverness, so we are forced to believe in these methods. When we are child I think it’s normal. For example, in this video, the boy believe that if he use a picture of his loved girl as the wallpaper on his cell phone and no person finds out about it three weeks he’ll attain his love…   

In our society a lot of people believe all kinds of thinks. For example, people are afraid when we are the 13^th Friday, when they see a black cat, or they don’t want to walk under a ladder. I don’t believe in these superstitions because  I thinks they are silly but I have other beliefs. When I was a child I believed in the Brazilian bracelet’s charm ( a friend did and gave a Brazilian bracelet to you and you must do a wish. You didn’t move present and when it broke, your wish come true.). 

And now I have some lucky charms: when I find a four-leaf clover I keep this (and I say me: “I hope it will bring me luck!”), when I see a shooting star I do a wish… I think all people need a few of magic in the life.

Dear Kate and William,

I spent really good holidays! Thank you very much for having me to stay. I always dream to visit Scotland and with your invitation it was possible! Before I thank that landscapes were beautiful but they aren’t beautiful! They were magical.

Isle of Skye… How to explain these feelings in front of this nature? All are so quiet, so majestic…

I’m so glad to go your home! They were very good vacations!

I want to propose you to go in France. You could see other lakes and mountains, discover ours specialties: win, gastronomy.  Ours landscapes has another beauty and we have others things in France.  

I hope to see you soon.

All good wishes

"The fastest runner without legs"

Today, I’m going to speak about Oscar Pistorius. 

He was born in 1986, in November, the twenty-second in Pretoria (South Africa). When he is eleven months doctors decided he must to have feet amputated because he didn’t have fibulas. 

When he was child he played rugby, water polo and tennis.

In January 2004, he broke the right knee during a rugby match and he met handicapped athletes of University of Pretoria. Eight months after he run during Paralympics games in Athens with Marlon Shirley and Brian Frasure. He wins silver medals in the one hundred meters con Shirley and gold medal in the 200 meters. He runs the two hundred meters in 21,97 seconds and breaks the world record (22 seconds).

In 2005, he ran with no disabled athletes in South African championship and he was sixth.

Today, Oscar Pistorius has a big honors list (eleven gold medals, twenty seven world records…). I think he is a good example for everybody because he went after his dreams.
