His mother's grandparents, Bejamin and Lybba Edelstein, were Lithuanian Jews who arrived in the United States in 1902. In his autobiography Chronicles: Volume One, Dylan writes that his paternal grandmother's maiden name was Kyrgyz and her family originated from Istanbul. When he was young Dylan crashed his 500cc Triumph Tiger 100 motorcycle on a road near his home in Woodstock, New York, throwing him to the ground. Though the extent of his injuries were never fully disclosed, Dylan said that he broke several vertebrae in his neck. During his Dinkytown days, Zimmeraman began introducing himself as "Bob Dylan". In his autobiography, Dylan acknowledged that he has been influenced by the poetry of Dylan Thomas.

I'm really interested in films. I especially love action films and I prefer romantic and comedy films.
I also like all sports but I prefer basketball and tennis. When I was young I practiced basketball and tennis, but now I don't play. Last year, when I played basketball I hurt my left hand.
I enjoy listening to pop music. My favorite singers are Britney Spears and Beyonce but I never go to concerts. The song that I lone from Beyonce is "Halo" and Britney Spears "Womanizer".
That's all for now. If you want to know anything else, let me know! Please send me an e-mail and tell me about your interests.

SPECIAL REPORT

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

For several years, a Japanese company has been working on a robotic suit that could help the old and the sabled move like an able-bodied person. With their latest version, the Hal-5, they seem to have finally done it. Comprised of robotic limbs and a backpack containing a battery and computer system, the HAL is strapped on to the body, and entirely controlled by thought. When the wearer tries to move, tiny nerve signals in the skin are detected by HAL and converted into movements. So advanced is the technology that the company is already renting the robot suits.

MUSIC

THE BEATLES

Pop music is the aural equivalent of the fashion industry-transient. So when John Lennon provoked the Beatles split in 1970, he could never have imagined that their albums would still be bestsellers in 2009. During those 40 years other bands gave come and gone, some selling more records than the Beatles, having more consecutive number ones, or playing live to more people, and yet no other band has ever been able to equal the Beatles. So what makes them so special? Firstly, in 1963, they were in the right place at the right time. After decades marked by war, economic depression, social and political conservatism, the world waws ready for change.

CNN

Trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was rubbing Tilikum after a noontime show when the 12,000-pound whale grabbed her and pulled her in, said Chuck Tompkins, head of animal training at all SeaWorld parks. Park officials say the veteran trainer drowned.

Audience member Eldon Skaggs said Brancheau's interaction with the whale appeared leisurely and informal at first. But then the whale "pulled her under and started swimming around with her," he told The Associated Press.

HUMAN- THE KILLERS

I've done the exercises of this song. I tired the level begginer and it's easy. This exercise consists in put the words in the blanks and if you don't put the words, the song doesn't go.





HUMAN LYRICS


I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind

And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could

And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?

Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know
Are we human or are we dancer?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancer?

Are we human or are we dancer?
Are we human or are we dancer?

SUMMARY NARNIA

Narnia is a film about four children (2 boys and 2 girls of the same family). Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are deported from London to the house of an eccentric professor during World War II. They find life in the house extremely dull, until Lucy discovers a wardrobe that leads to a magical world called Narnia, where animals can talk and all are ruled over by the wise and benevolent lion Aslan. The others don't believe her at first, but soon all of them go through the wardrobe and discover all is not well in Narnia. The land is being kept in a perpetual winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis, who turns anyone who doesn't obey her into stone. The children join Aslan and the animals loyal to him in an attempt to vanquish Jadis

UNIT 1

COMMENT UNIT 1: In this unit we work the present simple, present continuous, adjectives, prepositions and a phrasal verbs. I think that the first unit it's easy: The exercises grammatical, the writing...



MY OPINION ABOUT SCHOOL EXAMS

Is it true that students have to do exams to for learn more? The answer to the question must be "yes". I think that a lot of people wouldn't study of they don't have to study to pass the exams. I believe student can fool you pretending they are not working, because this work is shown in the test.

As I see it, the students are guaranteed to work and study can get good grade.
Clearly, we practice writing and finally motive students to be attentive in class and listen to the teacher.
In conclusion, it is clear that the students have to do exams for learning more.

A DISCUSSION ESSAY

THE INTERNET IS A BETTER INVENTION THAN BOOKS

The internet has changed the world in the last 5 years. Before the Internet was invented, people loked for information in books. These days it is esay looking for information in the Internet.
Books, on the other hand, are simpler. They facilitate teaching, planning the time and the content. Internet, however, can be very dangerous.
All in all, I think that the Internet is a better invention than books because it very fast, you can listen music and you can buy things online.

CINEMA ICONS

LEONARDO DICAPRIO

Leonaro DiCaprio has a problem. The Hollywood star is already 35 years ol, but he looks at least ten years younger. While most of us would consider that a gift, for DiCaprio it has, in recent years, prove an obstacle to some critics takin him seriusly in more matur roles. As The Observer's film critic Philip French says, DiCaprio is a "superb actor who hasn't yet quite become an adult".
There was a time, of course, when DiCaprio's boyish good looks were considered an advantage. Combined with his acting skillls and on-screen charisma, they helped propel him into TV and movie stardom at a young age. By the time he was 19 he already has an Oscar nomination for his role as a mentally-handicapped boy in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

PROFILE

My name's Silvia and I've been blind since I was born. When I was younger I had to learn special skills. I'm studying secondary now.

Life is a bit different for me sometimes. I can look after myself OK, but I need help with one or teo things, such as taking notes at secondary. I also have a special programme on my computer. It's called a screen-reader and it reads words on the screen to me.

There are some things which annoy me. Loud dance, for example. If I'm in a place like a loud bar, I can't find people or hear them. Usually people want to help me, even when I don't need help!
