Good nutrition and physical exercise

I think that a good nutrition and physical exercise are very important for our

health, but I think too that I don’t respect these topics.

A good nutrition must be made by everyone. But, many people, like the teenagers,

don’t have a good alimentation because the young people eat more fast-food than

vegetables or fruits. In the world, there are many obese, and that results from a

bad diet. But they’re not the only people who do it. Their parents do the same

thing, and they don’t give the example to their kids.

It’s easy have a good nutrition, we just should eat a little beat of everything and

we should respect the food

pyramid...

Physical exercise also contributes

to a good health. We should do

varied sports and we shouldn’t

take a sedentary life.

If we do it, we can prevent many

diseases, and reduce the number

of obese people in the world.

So if is easy... Let’s do it!!!

The Drugs and the teenagers

Teenagers may be involved with drugs in various ways and the experimentation with

drugs during adolescence is common. Unfortunately, teenagers often don’t see the

link between their actions today and the consequences tomorrow and they also have a

tendency to feel indestructible and immune to

the problems that others experience.

Using alcohol and tobacco at a young age increases the risk of using other drugs later. Some teens will experiment and stop, or continue to use occasionally, without significant problems. Others will develop a dependency or addiction, often moving on to more dangerous drugs and causing significant harm to themselves and possibly others.

Adolescence is a time for trying new things. Teens use drugs for many reasons, including curiosity, because it feels good, to reduce stress, to feel grown up, or to fit in. It is difficult to know which teens will experiment and stop and which will develop serious problems.

Open your eyes!!!

My best journey

Everything started when I and my family got to JFK airport and caught a yellow cab, which took us to the hotel in the heart of the Big Apple. Through the subway, we explored the heart of New York, Manhattan. For seven days, I and my family visited important monuments like Metropolitan Museum of Art, American Museum of Natural History, Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty. In the last day in New

York, we saw a show on the Broadway and visited the Central Park, where I visited the New York’s Zoo and, with my family, I did a little picnic. In NY I ate in fast-food restaurants (typical in

NY) and I felt the American Dream. New York is a fantastic city and for me this was, absolutely, my best journey.

P.S. Unfortunately, this trip is all invention

Rock in Rio- My favourite concert

My favourite concert was a festival Rock in Rio 2008, in

Lisbon.

There I saw some bands, such as Amy Winehouse,

Metallica, Linkin Park, Tokyo Hotel and MUSE.

What I liked most was to see the singer Amy

Winehouse, but she song very badly! She was drunk!!!

For the 5 days in Lisbon, I stayed in a camping park and

I ate in fast-food restaurants!

I really liked the concerts and I enjoyed bring with my

friends.

After the concerts we went to the discos and we

danced the whole night long!

It was so funny...

Amy Winehouse was born on 14 September 1983 and she is an English singer and

songwriter, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including R&B, soul,

jazz, rock & roll, and ska.

Her first album, Frank (released in 2003) was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and she won an Ivor Novello award in 2004 for her debut single Stronger than Me. In 2006, she released her second album, Back to Black. On February 2007, she won a Brit award for the Best British Female Solo Artist. In 2007 Back to Black reached #7 on the Billboard 200 Album chart in the US, selling over 51000 albums in its first week. Born into an English-Jewish family with a history of jazz musicians, she grew up in the suburb of North London, and attended Ash Mole School. At around age 10, Winehouse founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' sour, as sour. She described the group as "the little white Jewish Salt-N-Pepa".

Rehab-Lyric They tried to make me go to rehab

But I said 'no, no, no'

Yes, I've been black, but when I come back

You'll know-know-know

I ain't got the time

And if my daddy thinks I'm fine

He's tried to make me go to rehab

But I won't go-go-go

I'd rather be at home with Ray

I ain't got seventy days

'Cause there's nothing

There's nothing you can teach me

That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class

But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab








The man said "why do you think you're here?"

I said "I got no idea.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby,

So I always keep a bottle near."

He said "I just think you're depressed,

Kiss me here, baby, and go rest."





I don't ever want to drink again

I just, ooh, I just need a friend

I'm not going to spend ten weeks

And have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride

It's just 'til these tears have dried

REHAB-Amy Winehouse

(Translation to Portuguese)

Eles tentaram-me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse não, não, não

Sim, eu tenho estado mal mas quando eu melhorar você irá ver, ver, ver

Eu não tenho tempo e se meu pai acha que estou bem

Ele me fará ir para a reabilitação, mas eu não irei, irei, irei

Eu prefiro ficar em casa com o Ray

Eu não tenho dezassete dias

Porque não há nada

Nada que você possa me ensinar

Que eu não possa aprender com o Sr. Hathaway

Eu não aprendi muito nas aulas

mas sei que não aprenderei num gole de bebida

Eles tentaram me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse ‘ não, não, não’


Eu não tenho tempo e se o meu pai acha que estou bem


Um homem disse-me: - por que você acha que está aqui?

Eu disse que não fazia ideia

Eu vou, vou perder o meu amor

Então eu sempre tenho uma bebida por perto

Ele disse-me: - eu acho que está deprimida,

Dê-me um beijo, baby, e vá dormir.

Eles tentaram me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse ‘ não, não, não’




Eu não quero beber nunca mais

Eu só ooh eu só preciso de um amigo

Eu não irei perder dez semanas

Com todos a achar que estou de recuperação

Não é só o meu orgulho

É só que minhas lágrimas secaram

Eles tentaram -me mandar para a reabilitação, mas eu disse não, não, não
