NOISES

Hi there!
I must thank Iris and Desirée for their comments. It's a pleasure that you read my blog ♥

This new unit at school deals with the topic of noise and we have been talking about those noises that seem unbearable and really bothering for us. As I told you in class, I can't stand the noise of the tram at night. In addition, I can hear the voice of a woman welcoming the passengers to "Tranvía de Zaragoza"!!! It's as if I lived at the tram stop. Horrible, I promise.

But, I know there are more terrible noises that often make people lose their temper. I have been investigating and the result is that during the history of humanity, at least the history that has been recorded somewhere, there have been noises that have become "the loudest noises" ever. 

1. Rock concerts. The level of decibels is really worrying! 
2. Fireworks. At this point I may say that I hate them. I find them unnecessary and, sure, they are extremely dangerous for our hearing.
3. Gunfire. No words to explain this. Just imagine...
4. Space shuttle launch. WOW! This must be so shocking...

5. The blue whales. You are reading well. Researchers agree that they emit a sound of more than 180 decibels and it travels underwater.

6. Earthquakes. That's true. The quantity of noise provoked may be impossible to quantify.

I have taken all this info from this page:  http://listverse.com/2007/11/30/top-10-loudest-noises/
You may find more loud noises, as I have selected only 6. The most shocking for me.

I wish you a nice Sunday evening and...see you tomorrow!!!

Ici, un poster que j'aime bien ;) Nous pouvons faire un poster similaire!

Positive thinking ♪♫

Sunday is my favourite day of the week. My Sundays involve:
♥ Lying on the sofa.
♥ Preparing a good meal.
♥ Watching a film or a sitcom in good company.
♥ Blanket+hot tea+sofa = Perfect combination.
♥ Preparing my week lessons in a relaxing way.

Sunday is the day when I work harder and I search many interesting things on the Internet. 
Positive thinking posters are something that I'm really into. I'd like to print all of them and wrap all my walls with them.
I have selected five for you. I hope you agree with their message ;). Happy and relaxing Sunday!

◘◘◘KEEP CALM!!!◘◘◘

Keep calm and read this post. You'll enjoy!
This week, we have been working this famous quote at school. Students have invented a sentence according to their likes and preferences. 

Some of the posters. There are more!

But...do you know "Keep calm and..." origins? They began many years ago...

It was created more than 70 years ago by the British Information Council, when the Second World War started. Their aim was to encourage the British army in case there was a nazi attack. Bear in mind that "Keep calm" means "Mantén la calma", so it was a kind of "support" to the soldiers.

The poster had to be simple, colourful, with a clear typography and with the crown on the top. This crown belonged to King George VI.

There were three different posters that came to light:

1. Your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will give us victory. (Tu valor, tu ánimo, tu resolución nos llevarán a la victoria)

2. Freedom is in peril. Defend it with all your might (La libertad corre peligro. Defiéndela con todas tus fuerzas)

3. Keep calm and carry on. THIS ONE IS THE MOST FAMOUS!

Wow!The origins are really interesting! In case you want to create your own poster, I'm giving you a webpage to try. You could show me your creations!
