TASK: DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE

CAMARGUE

This region is very important for me because when I went on holidays there with my ,mother it was like I was in another world, with another different life, seeing another things so beautiful. There I was fortunate to realize my dream, which was run along the beach with horses.
The Camargue is a very beautiful region located in the south if Arles, France. It's like Aiguamolls from here but much wider. There you can find a lot of wild horses and bulls but they aren't dangerous.
The most important city there is Sainte Marie de la Mer. It's the most beautiful city I've never seen. There it's very clean, people are clean, too. In summer there's a little of traffic but when you are in the center of the city, traffic isn't important.
There's a lot of old buildings and that's the thing that make the city so authentic.
People are a lot in bycicle or with roller. They are very king, always smiling at tourists. But it's a quite city, too.
When I thing of this authentic place I feel a lot of freedom and happiness. I feel I need to finish my life there.

ORAL PRESENTATION !

"Now often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key." THE EAGLES

"We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one." VOLTAIRE

This is what I mean when I speak about freedom. Or happiness.

Everyone wants to be free but never succeed if we are always tied to our actions. Or we will never be happy if we never appreciate what we have. We don't know where to look. Humans believe they're strong, 'cause we can build, undo or invent things but this is a false reality. No one is happy if he never found happiness. And sometimes you'll found people who will ask : How can I find it ? One tip, you have to be more intelligent than him. So, you will answer to him: Honey, you can't search for happiness, it just feels when she is presented to you.

WHY DO I LISTEN REGGAE MUSIC ?

This question came to me some time ago and the truth is that I never imagined that there could be a very complicated answer for a simple question. So now I'll try to explain it inspiring the song "Selecta - Thanks and Praise".

I listen to reggae because I understand the rhythm of the music and understand the lyrics of their songs. It is very easy. If the lyrics are sad, the music is slow, but on the other hand, if the lyrics are moved, the music will be faster, as the song I'm listening now.

I don't know, but whenever I listen to reggae, I feel like I stand up, jump and dance and never stop. I feel like running to escape this unjust world and go away, far away. Far from the injustice and the legal and illegal and the law. All these politicians who think much makes me want to vomit.

So I can't explain exactly why I listen to reggae. I don't listen to it. I JUST FEEL IT.

LAST DAY

Stomp your feet on the table.

Stand two minutes, time to breathe and relax.

Enter your name written large on the wall.

There is still space to draw your life.

Shout to the sky the little that you suffer.

Voice you will always have to cry.

Dance salsa to the moon,

she takes care of you.

Wake up, hello morning, how are you today ?

Do you know what I'm going to do today ?

As if today was my last day, I will live as usual.

I will bury me in my dreams dressed in memories.

I will give my poor soul to the sweet land.

I will drown my strong voice to the cold wind.

I will wish to kiss the man who feeds my nights.

I am free, soul passenger, I'll do my own good.

Come on you a spliff in front of your father.

He also smoked as a young man.

Be yourself and kiss this man who so desire.

Sure he will return it without thinking.

Travel anywhere without planning anything.

Foreigners are always welcome.

Dance salsa to the moon,

she takes care of you.

Wake up, hello morning, how are you today ?

Do you know what I'm going to do today ?

As if today was my last day, I will live as usual.

I will bury me in my dreams dressed in memories.

I will give my poor soul to the sweet land.

I will drown my strong voice to the cold wind.

I will wish to kiss the man who feeds my nights.

I am free, soul passenger, I'll do my own good.

NEW ! THE GREEN WAY

"Former railway tracks are now cycle routes for all ages and abilities."

The vies verdes, or greenways, consist of a total of 115 kilometres of cycle tracks running through five of Girona's eight counties from Ripollès to the Baix Empordà.

The tracks are divided into three sections: the former Iron and Coral Route (la Ruta del Ferro i del Carbó) between Ripoll, Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Ogassa and Olot, and two formers narrow-gauge routes (rutes del Carrilet) from Olot to Girona and Girona to Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

NEW ! WILD HORSES

"Catalunya is home to various historic animal fairs."

In the small Catalan village of Espinavell (Girona Pyrenees) there's a centuries-old tradition with the wild horses for sell them. It's for negotiate the sale of those animals.

The Tria de Mulats is one of the last examples of the old ranching culture in Catalunya.

For the past 68 years, Cisco de Carol, from nearby Molló town, has spent his summer in a refuge on the mountain looking after the horses. However this year, at the age of 84, ill health forced him to hand over responsibility to a younger man, David Sanromà.

"I like the mountains, I like horses and I like peace, so I like this work" he said.
