My dream house

My dream house would be a house placed in a village near the sea or an attic in the center of New York.

If I lived in a house, it would be a large, very bright and cosy modern house with two double bedrooms.

I would like a house with wooden floors, high ceilings and big windows.

In my house I would like a large kitchen, because I love to cook, and of course I would like to have two bathrooms, one on each floor.

On the first floor, I would like to have the lounge overlooking the garden with a big TV and decorated according to my taste. The dining room would be next to the lounge, with a wooden table and on the top, a nice vase of flowers.  And the kitchen would have with a table on the middle, a big fridge and a lot of shelves.

On the second floor I would like to have a studio where I can paint, study, play the flute… As well I would have a lot of bookshelves with many books.  Also I would like to have my room decorated with paintings and photos by artists or by me. Too, I would have a large mirror, near the closet and in the middle I would have a violet carpet and in front of the bed I would take a TV. On a wall of the room, a large bookshelf with my favorite books.

On the second floor I would also like to have a terrace with a chaise-longue to see the sea.

If I have a very big house, I would like to have a large garden with a swimming pool, a small lake with many trees…

If I live in a attic I would like to have a duplex similar to the house that I just described.

Of course, if I live in a attic in the center of New York, I would like to live in a street with many shops and business.

 If I would live in one of these houses, I think that I would enjoy living in them, because such houses have very natural light and I would not feel enclosed.

I would also take my computer, because I have a lot of photos that I want inside, films, series... and so many things that are very important for me.

As well I would take my camera, because I love to take photos and it is a present from my parents.

Also I would take one of my favorites books: "The fault in our stars" and my ebook because I have many books that I want to read inside.

If my house was on fire, I would never forget my teddy bear that my aunts gave me on my first birthday and the bracelet that my grandmother gave me when I was six.

He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Pudge at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

Characters:

Miles Halter: The protagonist. Tall and skinny, his friends at Culver ironically nickname him "Pudge". He is attracted to Alaska Young.
Alaska Young: The wild, moody, unpredictable, beautiful and enigmatic girl who captures Miles' attention and heart. She acts as a confidant to her friends, frequently assisting them in personal matters, as well as dealing in cigarettes and alcohol.
Chip Martin: Five feet tall but "built like Adonis", he is Alaska's best friend and Miles' roommate. His nickname, the Colonel, comes from his being the strategic mastermind behind the schemes that Alaska concocts.
Takumi Hikohito: A surprisingly gifted MC/hip-hop enthusiast, and friend of Alaska and Chip.

Mr. Starnes: The stern Dean of Students at Culver Creek. He is nicknamed "The Eagle" by Chip.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Meaning:

People sometimes say that every cloud has a silver lining to comfort somebody who's having problems. They mean that it is always possible to get something positive out of a situation, no matter how unpleasant, difficult or even paiful it might seem.

Origin:

This idiom goes back to at least the first half of the 19th century, as it is used in The Atlas newspaper, printed in the 1840s. The idea for this phrase is that when things are looking dreary, there's always a brighter side; the comparison looks to be drawn from how dark clouds have a brighter side to them: their “silverlinings”. 

Managed to clone the first time ever adult human cells

Scientists in the U.S. claims to have succeeded for the first time in history cloning cells from an adult human.

Cloning stem cells for tissue culture, required to date embryonic cells. However, researchers at the Center of Advanced Cell Technology of Marlborough, in the U.S., have achieved at present, similar results using cells from two adult men who their age range was between 35 to 75 years old.

Scientists cloned cells of two adults to create embryos in early stages. Later, they obtained tissues from such embryos that perfectly replicated DNA from donors, shows the study, published in the journal “Cell Stem Cell”.

This achievement reachs a milestone in the field of medicine because this now known as 'therapeutic cloning' adult cells could help develop treatments for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.

The results of the investigation, led by the American scientist Robert Lanza , have also generated controversy because there are people who says could be the first step towards human reproductive cloning.

Exchange with France

What is the project?
The project is to make an exchange, for one week with another school of another country.
First, we go to french houses and then the french come to our homes.
When we go to France, with the college of our correspondent, we do activities and we go to visit places. And with the family we watch TV, we play with the wii, we do homework, we go shopping, we do parties...

My personal opinion and my experience:
My experience in the exchange is very good, because I understood very well with the french family, they treated me very well, I really like my correspondent and his family. Also I like because I learn much french and english, other customs...
I think that make an exchange is very good because you learn other languages, other customs and meet people from other countries.
