Now I know what FEAR is...
Everything started one late friday evening. My friends and I left the school thinking about our summer holidays and all the things we were going to do. But it was time to celebrate first, so we decided to go to the lake for a swim. As soon as we arrived, all of us went into the water. It was still hot and sunny and there was a nice smell of dry grass and flowers in the air. I went out of the water and lay on my towel. I closed my eyes and listened to the birds; I was feeling great! I started to imagine what the rest of my holidays would be like, so many plans... It was getting dark, so my friends came to tell me they were leaving. I was feeling so good that I told them to start without me; that I would catch them up in a couple of minutes.
I just can´t remember how long I remained there alone; no more than two minutes really when, suddenly, I felt someone grab my feet and hands and take me into a car. I stayed in the car for a long time, but finally they took me out and left me in a room tied to a chair. I tried to relax, thinking that it was one of my friends´jokes, but it wasn´t...
Two weeks had already gone and I continued in that room; it was getting harder and harder. I remembered then that I liked imagining things. "This will help me not to go crazy", I thought. I closed my eyes and imagined I was escaping, that I could find my friends and return home... All seemed so real that when I realized that everything was false, I started to cry.
Now I continue here in my prison, tied, alone... Now I know what FEAR is: it is not to see your parents, relatives, friends,... to know that you are alone and that for a long, long time you will probably continue like that.

Vicky is a fan of The Jonas Brothers and you??
THE JONAS BROTHERS
The Jonas Brothers are three teenage brothers from Wyckoff, New Jersey, that form an American pop band. The three members are: Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas. They became famous in Disney Channel thanks to Nick (it´s a long story...). And now they are very famous all around the world; children love them and teenagers and some adults, too!
They began this revolution when Avril Lavigne had a world tour and The Jonas were the supporting artists. Then they published their first single: "It´s about time" and later "A little bit longer", which was really successful. Last year they released a film titled: "Camp Rock", especially for teenagers. The film was about many people who wanted to be superstars. The actors and actresses were: Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, Alison Stoner, Meghan Martin, Nick and Kevin Jonas and other people. This film was a box office success and the actors and actresses got very good reviews, too. Now the Jonas brothers are going to have a tour around the world and they are also going to come to Spain. They are coming to Madrid and Bilbao! So HURRY UP to buy the tickets (if you are a fan) because they will sell out very fast!!!

P.S.: If you want to watch a video of The Jonas, click on the link to "Kids´Space" (the blogspot for primary) and enjoy "That´s just the way we roll" song. You´ve got the lyrics to help you, so you have no excuses: START SINGING!!
MORE NEWS ABOUT "THE JONAS BROTHERS"!!Casilda, a student from 2nd of Bachillerato, has sent us an e-mail to remind us that this Saturday The Jonas are playing in Madrid. A friend of hers has gone to see them and Casilda says that if she lets her, she will send us some pics from the concert to post in our blog. That would be great, Casilda! She also comments that she thinks The Jonas will be coming to Bilbao in November but she has to confirm this information.
Thank U very much for everything, Casilda!!

Tuenti, Spanish young people´s most popular website.
Tuenti is a website directed to the young Spanish people. It was created in 2006, by Zaryn Dentzel, an American student that now lives in Madrid. He came to Spain and some years later he created tuenti . First, it was directed to the people of a university of Granada, but after its success he decided to publish it. At present, tuenti is one of the most visited webs in Spain. You can have your own account only if somebody sends you an invitation.
What things can you do in this website? You can speak with other people, put photos or images about yourself and your family or friends, videos,... *and you can make comments about the photographs and write about other people´s tuenties. I made myself one member of tuenti because a friend sent me an invitation; I thought it was interesting and accepted. In my opinion, it should be for all the people around the world, not only for Spanish people.

*Now, I would like to know your opinion(s) about the following questions related to tuenti:
