Still a few hours left...

 

 

 

We're done!

We've got ourselves a winner for the game!

it's

and she's the only one who played!!!!

 

Her answer was:

 

"I think it's funny because he is singing in an Indian accent and it relates to Indian culture, for example when he talks about four harikrishnas. It's funny when he talks about two nosey in-laws because in Indian culture, when a couple get married, the in-laws are very nosey and want to know what the couple get up to! India is very advanced technologically, so they have many IT graduates."

To be comprehensive (which means to tell everything) we could add that there is also a mention of Bollywood (and a joke about Cow-Boys and Indians= native-americans) and the buttered chickens (which are very slippery because covered in butter) are an allusion to the famous Balti Butter chicken recipe.

The "insufficient" dowry is a reference to the money given by the in-laws when their daughter gets married.

The singer jokes at Indian names because they are very long, etc...

 

In a word, this song plays with all the clichés surrounding Indian culture in Great-Britain, but in an affectionate way.

Isn't his accent adorable? Yes, Holysnail, I'm thinking of you and your "accents"!

 

Therefore, congratulations to Paperplane (and shame on all the others, who didn't even try. Ok, next game will be easier!^^)

Be reasonable!

No guarantees...

And now, let's think about... New Year resolutions!

Eniram's views on her future (our last article on that theme)...

Hello everyone,

Firstly I want to talk rapidly about myself: so, I'm Eniram, I'm in my last year of high school, I'm 17 years old, I was born on 17th March 1996 in St Doulchard.

I live near St Florent/ Cher with my parents and my little sister called Jade, but I'm a boarder, so I live in Bourges during the week.

At school I love languages and especially English of course !

In the future ? 

I don't really know, but I start  thinking about the future even if I'm very afraid of this!

I'm interested by working in the field of speech therapy and languages.

For me, my perfect plan for the future, I think would be :

 

To begin, get my baccalaureat ^^, afterwards, be accepted in a preparatory school to large school (in the region or not, this doesn't matter), in order to pass an exam to become a speech therapist, having an apartment and a roomate (because I hate loneliness), get my exam, become a speech therapist and I would like also to travel around the world and continue to study languages. 

 

 

That is the future that I would like more, but maybe another idea will come to me during the year.

NEW RULES FOR THE BLOG!

Rule N°1: The recommendations will become optional (starting now). They still get you 0.5 points but you can just have comments and get 20 out of 20 (therefore you need 40 comments).

 

Rule N°2: The comments need to be written on  at least 3 different days. If not they won't be taken into account for your final mark.

 

Rule N°3: If I have to correct your grammar in a commentary, it will not give you any point. So check your spelling and grammar before posting.

 

Rule N°4: Never criticize the blog in Mrs P.'s hearing... You've been warned!^^

 

 

 

Blackman's future...

To begin with, I think that it's necessary for me to focus on my presentand different deadlines that will come during the year.
In fact, I think my future depends on the forecoming deadlines.
Normally, in everyday life, I don't like to predict things.
I prefer to live day by day because we don't know what tomorow will be like.
Moreover, I think that it can bring bad luck but sometimes we don't have the choice.

Next year, if everything goes well, I would like to study Languages at university or to study sports.
I don't really know for the moment but those two things interest me.

With regard to football, If I have the opportunity to sign in a good club, I will do it.
It's not done yet because the world of football is a difficult world.

Lala's plans for the future...

(This article was written before Lala's accident...)

I am a person who knows what she wants in life.

I have a specific aim and also specific projects.

My projects for the future would be first to pass my exam. I do not mean to have a "mention" but why not have the "mention" Quite Good".

Then I'd take the Nursing Selective Exam to go to a school to become a nurse in a surgical unit.
I've always wanted to be in the medical field since I was three years old.
What is ironical is that I have never played at being a doctor! Lol!

I'm also planning to have a family, but not more than 3 children! :-)

Finally, I would like to discover as many countries as possible, to travel before it's too late.

Lala

Oceka's plans...

I 'm naturally very organized so I know what I want to do after I pass my exam. For 3 years I'll be studying the law. I would like to become a lawyer.

To achieve my dream of one day becoming a lawyer I need to spend 4 years at university reading the law.

I'll get either a Master or Master1 and then only will I specialize.

I think I'll specialize in criminal law.

This speciality interests me a lot.

I don't know yet which college I'll attend .

The legal profession is for me very interesting and rewarding. I can clearly picture myself in that field.

 

 

 

In a more distant future, I hope to one day get married and have children, live in a big house and always have my family and friends by my side.

They are the people who matter more to me.

 

Scorpio's plans...

    My plan for the future is to start by having my Bac in order to do the job I want. This job is a policeman or gendarme I still do not really know exactly the moment . Because if I did not it will be hard to want to do what I really want ! I would like to specifically get into an elite unit such as : GIGN or GIPN, it will be my dream ...

    But these units are the best in endurance ,mental strength, shooting and team spirit. They train all the time because one mistake can be fatal and can cost lives ! These persons must remain anonymous for their own good to avoid being recognized.

    Why do I want this job? Well, simply because I want to do a useful job that I like!

To train in real situations , members of elite units train with replica airsoft , sport I practice also. This sport (which is not officially recognized as a sport in France)  reproduces military learning techniques derived situations and strengthen team spirit.

    There exist a movie  based on a real story that shows what the GIGN is.

This movie is called L'Assaut , it deals with  the GIGN intervention that took place in December 1994 in Marseille. The picture of the movie :

 

 

After I think I have the same desires as everyone with at least a big part of people saying I want to be rich, have a good life etc … ( It's a beautiful dream )

YMCMB's future...

 

After talking about my taste in film, series, music .. I would like to address  my future.

 

It is true that when I was younger, I had lots and lots of ideas for my future. Through school teacher or hairdresser (I think all the girls have had this project there!), growing up I wanted to be an architect, but my geometry level was low enough, I was so discouraged .. I also had the idea of ​​being a photographer or even a journalist! But after getting informed and thoughtful, these jobs do not interess me anymore.

 

After that, I had no idea on what to do later, and then it was too late for me to undertake a career as a singer or an actress .. (This is a joke!)

 

But this is only last year that I found THE vocation.

I want to be a hotel manager, and of course, in foreign countries such as Spain or Anglo-Saxon countries.

 

 

 

 

Why I'm passionate about this job? Just as now, being abroad pleases me, speaking another language, learning about another culture fascinates me. 

And then managing a wide facility is a big responsibility, but I love to take control.

There is also being surrounded by people, by one's team ... having a busy social life. 

I know that to climb the ladder, I have to go through full step.

First, pass my "BTS hotel industry" (marketing and hospitality management option) after my year of training next year.

Thereafter, I will probably be a professional licensed and a professional master. 

Well sure, the position of director I will not be immediately given, I'll have to go through the reception, or the Executive Assistant position. 

For any business, it takes hard work to succeed in life.

 

Finally I hope you enjoyed my article, and it helped give ideas to people who do not know what to do later. 

On this, I remind you if I get successful with my project  , maybe I'll give you a price for the luxurious rooms!

 

aha :P

Rider's plan...

My plans for the future ? It's simple ! I know what I've wanted to do since the beginning: it's not only a desire , but also a dream : to become an english teacher. 

 

If you would ask me why, I would answer because I like this language which is pleasant but also very useful in life, and I love this relation with children.

I see myself in the future,  raising  in the morning, to prepare my belongings, my lessons and  saying to myself: let's go and teach English to my pupils.

I enjoy the fact of speaking english, but to share this passion is still better. 

Then, yes there will be always ups and downs to make a succes of our projects in life but one day someone said to me: " Our vision is the promise of what we shall make" and finally I really believe in it. 

 

 

Knowing that by working and never lowering the arms , I will be an english teacher, thus I'll be happy in my life ! 

As far as my private life is concerned, obviously, I see myself in a beautiful house, with a husband and children, and with horses ,it's my passion, so  horse riding will still follow me quite some time. 

I know for all this , I should play  bingo to become a millionaire ! Ahah ! :D

 

 

It's really the future of my dreams and if dreams become reality thus I hope that it will happen to me! 

That is what waits for you when you  ask me what are your plans for your future ! 

Yummy!

Soon: A Game!

On December 20th.

 

Get ready!!!

 

12 days before Christmas....

What would happen if the lyrics of the famous Christmas Carol The 12 Days of Christmas were true!????

Listen to this interesting story:



                        



And for those not familiar with the song, here it is:

Forest's plans for the future...

Hello everybody !

I think that many people have many plans for their future.

Some people want to save life, others want to stand up for people etc, etc ...

 

As for me, I have many many MANY plans for my future but I know that I can't do everything.

 

 

• For my Job, I would like to become a policewoman to make people comply with the law. I would like to work with a dog in drugs brigade to protect young people. After eight years, I would like to become an officer to conduct examination and investigate.

When I was young, I wanted to become a midwife but I have blood phobia : I think it would have been very difficult ^^'

 

 

 

• For my hobbies, I would like to adopt a dalmatian, it's my dream and it's very important for me. I would like to create an animal shelter to save animal in misery and find for them a family who wants to adopt them.

I would like to sponsor the association where I am : dalmatien sans famille.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to have too a big house with a big garden to pratice my other hobbies.

 

• I would like to live two years in England to become bilingual and work with the world.

After that, I would like a trip to around Europe  with my horse, my backbag and my boyfriend, just that.

 

 And after this little experience, I would like a trip  around the world to discover different cultures.

In my around the world trip I would like to conduct humanitarian missions to save people in misery. 

 I would like to go to Australia to see the wildlife and the flora of this continent, and a little bit go to the United States, a little bit because the modern world is not for me.

 

See you later, I hope you were interested in my plans .

 

Forest.

 

Tsitsa's plans for the future...

My plans for the future.. Complicated question. It was more simple when I was a child. I thought I'd live in a big house and play  video games all the times.

                                          

I hate adolescence. Everybody ( or almost ) learns that  life is difficult. And I abandonned my dream of becoming a veterinary surgeon...


So, now I know more or less about the real life, I have some plans for my future.
 
Firstly, I would like to succeed in my studies to become a special needs teacher ( special educator ) and find a steady job, because nowadays, it becomes more and more difficult.

My studies will unfold in Orleans or Tours, I don't know exactly, I'll take  a competitive exam soon, and I hope  to succeed.

If that's the case, I will be set off again for three years.
 

Secondly, I hope to still be with my boyfriend, and, when I  have a job, settle in with him.

We have been together since more than one year, and we have our very own dreams, like many young couples I imagine.

We hope to settle in together, travel, have children, get married...

 

 Real utopia but, this is love :').

 

Finally, like everybody I think, I hope  to see my children grow up, have a good family, travel again, see my grandchildren grow up, be a “sugar Grandma” with them.

I'll die out without any regrets...

Nomika's plans for the future...

My plans for the future

 

       Hi everyone ! For our second article, we had to present our plans for the future. Well, I admit I don't really like to think about the future, it sounds like something quite sad to me.

But I hope it won't be !

 

As far as it concerns the studies, next year I wish to study the English language in Tours university although I don't know exactly which licence I'm going to do and how many years I want to stay at the university.

Then, I will try to enter a journalism or a photography school. This last thing is something I  have wanted to do since I was in middle school ,so I hope I will make it.

After that, I wish to become a photojournalist or a war reporter.

 

 

Otherwise, concerning the rest, I don't really imagine how my future is going to be. I'd like to do (almost) what I want, when I want, travel a lot to many places and meet people in each country I'll visit.
Besides, these are some of the reasons why I want to become a journalist.

        I know it's kind of cheesy to say that but in fact, I just want to live well with the people I love next to me, so I don't really get a plan to manage to do that !
