Whale Rider

Rodrigo Caracas

Duo. Cd by cesar camargo mariano, and jose camargo, both play piano and violao. It is really great. We appreciate how these two creative muscian are imaginative in their musical arrangements. Cesar, as always, plays his piano very and very well. Amazing the way he lets jose come up with his own solo's. Its realy umbelivieble the performance that both of these two super professional musicians show their art, playing so well and really good to hear. I' d just say, buy it. Right now. You'll enjoy it for many years. Fantastic!!!

Maya's review - DVD

Actually, the reason why I bought it is for studying English. This is a DVD I'd recommend for ladies or a person who wants studying English with script of movie.
The title of film is and Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Jack Black to star in it. I heard their clear English pronunciation and the script has a lot of useful sentences.
In my opinion, It hasn't any special effect and the plot is really simple, but this one is comparatively easy to understand English for intermediate level! It'll help your listening and reading practices!! And the story what they are in search of love and happiness also will make your heart is getting warm^^*
A terrific and helpful movie! If you didn't watch yet, Try to see it! Highly recommended!!!

Misaki's review


Title:The Devil Wears PRADA

I watched the DVD 2 years ago.One of my friend recommended it,so I rented and watched.The story is about one woman who works in magazin company.She isn't fashinable at the beginning of story but she becomes more and more beautiful while she's working in the company.In this company,there is very very strict boss and the woman suffers from this boss.The main character grow up because of this boss.

This movie is absolutely excellent!!!It contains love,work and laugh.It's one of the best movie for me.Especially I am fascinated with clothes that acrtess wears.

The visual effect of this movie is brilliant!!The actress's fashions are very cute and fashionable.I really enjoyed watching their clothes,make up and hair style.

The character of the boss is ridiculous because she is too much strict so it's not realistic.But I like her.Sometimes she is funny.

This move is quiet good for gilrls who is intereted in fashion,make up and love.I can give this movie "5 stars"!!!Unless you are girl,you'll like this movie.

Heeyoun's review

I absolutely love reading.
My review is about the Korean book.
The title is [Even if you live right or wrong, I'll always help you.]

I usually don't read about rules of life.
But, I choose a book about that.
Because before I came to Austalia, I was in a really terrible situation.

The author speaks to the reader as if it's her daughter.
After I read the book, I felt empowerd.

If you are planning to study abroad, I'd highly recommend reading this book.

Roxana. Who I admire

I admire one person in my family,this is my sister Carmen. She has been working all her life and  she's helped her brothers and sisters when they needed it.
My sister is the second of six brothers and sisters. She has always helped my parents with my brothers, because she was the female and my brothers were a male. When I was born, she looked after me,she was like my second mother.
I think she is an ambitious and courageous person, she worked hard to pay for her studies in Paris.
My sister taught  me many things about  life,for example when I need to stay calm in a crisis,and have a positive attitude. She tells me that I must be fair to the people who work with me.

I'm sorry Victoria because I changed the person who I admire,but I Think my sister is more important to me than Woody Allen.



maya's admire

She is my role model for my life. Her name is Hyun-ok Song, my professor. Actually, she is a talented theatre director. Also she is a celebrity in my country, because she is known for being the Mayor of Seoul's wife. I learned from her the master's cours of Act in University and we've worked together in performance. To work with her is itself a privilege for me. But she advised not only about acting, also she sometimes guides me about my life. Her husband is a stateman, so she is always very busy, but she is hardworking as a director. Sometimes she works nights by herself. But she is not too tired to look after her students, She is a very tolerant person.

- not finished yet. i'll do by homework.. haha ^^*

benjamin

I am going to speak about one of my best friends who is very famous in our country new caledonia.he was born in new caledonia and we are friends since de age of 12.Tom is very famous for his main achievement to be the best kitesurfer in new caledonia and now he is one of the best in the world.I think he showed to caledonian people his determination and talent,that is why he is famous now,and also in other country,and especially for the girls...
But I admire him for his stretch:he comes from a normal family,her mother bought him the first kite and he made do with this,and now he is sponsorship by maybe 2 or 3 compagnies(wear,kite equipment..),and now he can travel for free all over the world,but he has to win his competitions.I find him very courageous to succed his life like this,always without help from his familly or anybody else.

Mirella I admire my mother

My mother, her name is Pasqua Murer, married Schlegel is born in France on 1921.

My grandmother was still of visit her husband doing his work, he was a miner worked always onder the ground, when it happeneds.
In the summertime, they lived together in a smole village in the mountains of North Italien, so my grandfather coud help to work outsite in the field's.
They had 5 children, but the last born has died by the birth. Pasqua is the thirt child, then my aunt conjoined.
My mother helpt at home and went only 4 years at elementar-school.
Because there were poor, she had to walk into her valley and knocking at every door to ask for benefit/charity. Often she didn't recive anything, but sometimes money or something to eat, so she had to bring toes back to here family.
When she was twelf year old, she had to go in a forengh family in Milano. There, her work was to look after the children.
She married in 1944.
Unfortunately after that, at the same month, her husband was killed in Aosta by German militars.
In this moment she was still pragnent, by my brother, he, Vittorio is born in September 1945.
So sorry, but she coudn't stay with her first child, because she was verv poor and vedov, so without any help.
She oern her live giving her own milk to forengh children in Milano. Vittorio had to stay with her mother, our grandmother Fioretta, in the montains fare from Milano.
After the second war mondial , 1946, the borders between countrys had been opened and in St. Gallen, Switzerland, there is still a manifatury of bordery, and they looked at that time for worker's to help to expander prodution.
So three sisters/brothers and my mother went there togheter to work at industries, hey where courageous but not alone.




I'm proud of my mother, because she was a serios person, determined of looking to keep monay. She was, because she dieed up accident in june 2005, original, she coudn't speek German when she arrived but she was abbel to help her self in this occassion whith hand and feet.

Also a hardworker, bat also loved by her withworkers. She had a special kind of humor speeking with people. She was a beauty in her yonger jears.

Because buying only valable things she learned my to keep money, to have nice thinks.

I love her very much.

I(Heeyoun) admire the author 'Sung seokjae'

Sung seokjae is my favourite writer.

He is very unique. I can't explain anymore than he is unique.
His writing is unique, he writes collecions of short stories.
And then, there is no lesson.

He told about lies,"What is the lie? It makes life fertile and extends human's power of imagination.
He speaks to us like a grandfather speaks to his grandson.

He doesn't preach, he just tells us about life.

I like that simplicity.
I love the writing so much,I don't want it to end.
Because I'm not sure when he will publish another writing.

Heeyoun's idal party

Hello, I'm Heeyoun!^^

In Korea, a party is something special.
For example, a wedding party, a Christmas party, and 60th birthday party, etc.
So, I'm not familiar with parties.
If I imagine my ideal party, the place is in Seoul, W hotel.
And I'll invite my friends in Australia. Also, Victoria.
W hotel is located on ACHA mountain and we would be able to see the Han river.
The night view is very very beautiful.

We can eat various food, listen to music, dance, take a spa.
After that, I'll introduce you to Seoul.!! ^^

But it's just ideal party.T.T

Bye!! Have a nice weekend!!

KAZU'S FAVORITE FOOD..........

@How to eat@
Sushi or sashimi (raw fish) with soy sauce and wasabi!! I think it the best way for me!!!

Mirella's fevorit food

At the morning i usually eat Chocolat, dark bret with butter and marmelad. But here in Manly i'm allways trink chochalat and eat Toast or some different tip of cornflakes.

My prefered eat are patatos. Wi can them make/cooking off a lot of different meals.

My prefered patatos are in baking ofen with Rosemary on.

What I like to eat very often is fruit and vegetable.



I d'ont like to eat much meal.

It is because we dont need them as often as fruit and vegetable.

The most of the animals are keep in a worst manier, also the hav to die cruality and that does not been healthly for humain.

But I now some farmer hu keeps them very well and give them nice food, so I bourght there for eat.



So when I/We habe lunch I eat my faforit plate is a lot of salat, poligon salat of carrot whit Oil from Olive and vinegar from Itay, green one from garden and a lot of onion it.



To have supper or dinner the must I like is to diner out and eat trout with cook/patatos and some vegetables.



Patatos are as better as farinaceos products because paste makes my/our body acid.

Victoria's favourite & least favourite food

I love lots of different types of food from all over the world so its quite hard for me to think of just one favourite food. So, while I'm deciding on my favourite, I'll tell you about my least favourite food. In fact, I dislike this food so much that I might have to use a very strong word to describe how I feel, a word which I don't usually use, and that word is hate. I can't stand, I detest, I loathe....celery! I think it's a pointless food. There are hardly any calories in it so there's no real nutritional value in eating the food, it has a funny stringy consistency and worst of all it tastes horrible. For me, a taste quite like no other food I've ever eaten. I just don't like the stuff! So, there you have it; my least favourite food in the world.

Now when it comes to food I do like, there are lots in the running for my most favourite. But if I think of a food that I could just not live without that would have to be eggs. Only organic eggs, mind you. I adore eggs, I love eggs, I'm so very keen on eggs that I eat them almost every day of the week. Scrambled eggs, poached eggs, omlette, fried eggs, boiled eggs, any way eggs come I love them! Eggs for breakfast are the best way to start the day. So, if you want my recommendation for the best food in the world I say EGGS!!!

My name is Roxana


My name is Roxana,I'm 38 years old and I'm from Spain. I live in Madrid,but I was born in Asturias in the north of Spain. I have a big family, three brothers and two sisters, I'm the youngest.
I'm interested in learning English,but sometimes I feel a little bit sad,because I think I haven't improved my English, and the solution is drink one beer and then I improve my english.(It's a joke Victoria).
Now my interests is meet people and countries. I would like to have more time and much money for travel,but it's imposible, I need to come back to Spain and work again,but I don't mind because I like it.
One friend gave me a sentence,and every day I read it,today I give it to you Victoria.

Life does not put things in front of you that you are unable to handle.

Thank you Victoria for teaching me every day.

i INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU

My name is Mirella Schlegel Gross. Schlegel is the name of my father, Gross then is the name of my husband. My uncle gave me the name Mirella which is very rare.
My age is today 56 years, 6 months and 2 days - middle aged.
I am from Switzerland, I was born there, but my mother was born in Italy and went to Switzerland in the Year 1945,
So I am half Italian and half swiss.
When I was 4 years old, I had to learn german but because I was very young I learnt it very fast and easily.
My interests are swimming in the summertime, but not in wintertime in a House with aswimmingpool.
I like to listen to the radio very much. I do that every day for 2 hours and I am interested in Sozialthemata, Politics all over the word and last but not least classical music.
My family existed only for 4 years, then my father went away and left us, my brother Viktor and my mother, alone.
So my mother had to go to work to earn money and I was too young, so they put me in a house for children. There i grew up, with a lot of other children, we went out for school to the normal school, but we are wearing special clothes. When the time came to get out, I wasn't happy, because I felt at home there. So I was 15 years old when I went back to my mother, but we didn't know about each other and I was just in my mid teens, so we had a lot of problems. later on it was better. I do not have a lot of true friends, we call them in Switzerland different. My best friend is also my husband. But I have also an old friend, we went to professioal school together and since then we spent a lot of time together.
