About Worm Charming

Maybe you’re soccer enthusiast like me or maybe you prefer volleyball, basketball, chess boxing, rugby or whatever. My last posting was about introducing Bansky to you, and this one I’ll let you know about a very incredible – and get this adjective on its pure meaning- sport. Ladies and gentleman: The Worm Charming.

Well, I think the name explains what it is by itself. In a certain amount of time, each competitor have to bring as many worms to the surface as they can, no matter how – but remember that dishwashing detergent has been banned. And “Rules of The British and European Federation of Wormcharmers include a plot no greater than 3 metres by 3 metres, a five-minute warm up period, a three-person team of charmer, catcher and counter and that all worms must be returned to the ground after the contest according to the British Association of Worm Length Supporters (BAWLS).”

A Federation of Wormcharmers.  Amazing, isn’t it?

The first time I read about it was in a Sarah Mason’s book (dude, all her books are very funny), where the principal character said that her brother, dressed as a cloud, was a very good worm collector. The entire story happens in England and I thought that it was the only place this competition, hm, takes place; but I was wrong: Canada and USA also have Worm charming festivals.

 The book " The Little Prince " is a reading complex with various interpretations, a book that gives us life lessons and values​​. A book I read and recommend it because it is a literary classic.

Meet Banksy

At first, he was just a man against the laws, who destroyed walls in London. Now he got famous because of his creativity and everything he does isn't worth less that millions euros. The most incredible is that nobody sees him painting or even know his face. Since I saw one of his interferences, I've became a Banksy fan. He doesn't have just skills and creativity, he has got a brilliant sense of humor and can criticize what he sees in the wolrd - he looks everything with different eyes and is brave enough to share his opinion with everyone who is walking down England streets. Banksy is trying to open eyes. He doesn't need to show his face to show who he is. I'm proud of having someone like him in my generation. Banksy is fascinating.  If you want to see more: http://www.banksy.co.uk/  By: Dani

Royal Wedding

One of the most commented about news at the moment in the whole world, is the marriage of the second in line to the throne of England, prince William, with the simple Kate Middleton. This fact has moved all media that already stays in the place of the ceremony for days with the objective of discovering how the dress will be, who will make the cake or who is and isn't in the guest list.

 

Two days from the wedding we see many newspapers and TV stations trying hard to be the first to give any news about the event, the curious thing is that any object with relationship to William or Kate becomes profit to anybody selling it. Now, in the middle of so many doubts, we have to wait for the day of the wedding to really satisfy the entire world's curiosity. I’m very curious too and waiting anxiously to see her dress.

SONG and VOCABULARY

Talking To The Moon 

Bruno Mars

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbours think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have

(Chorus:)

At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone
Talking to the moon?

I'm feeling like I'm famousThe talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
Cause when the sun goes down
Someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back

(Chorus:)
At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone
Talking to the moon?

Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...
Do you ever hear me calling?
(Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...)
Oh oh ooh oooh

'Cause every night
I'm talking to the Moon
Still try to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool who sits alone
Talking to the moon?

Ohoooo...

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
