Kiwi talks about herself...

Hello there ! Kiwi’s comeback ! 

 

Before introducing my article, I'll tell you some stuff about me !

• I’m a girl.
• I’m Eurasian.
• I’ve chosen Kiwi as a nickname at random. It’s not a question of taste !

And that's all ! If you want to know me better, ask in comments !

As everybody knows, we have the water by opening the tap, a gesture which seems to us so simple ! But many people in developing countries are not able to drink the water as easily as this !

These people must  walk many kilometers to fetch  water, mainly the women and children. It requires a lot of physical effort to transport the unhygienic container. Finally, they get many injuries because of uncomfortable positions !

Q DRUM is the solution to end the sufferings !

What is Q DRUM ?

Q DRUM is a “rollable water container”, pulled by using a rope tied through the hole. Therefore, water will be more easily transportable. 

 

They said: “Even a child can pull 50 litres of water over flat terrain for several kilometres without undue strain”. Fetching the water was a hard task, now transformed in a funny task thanks to Q DRUM, an ingenious invention !

The Nobel Peace Prize 2014 - Press Release

The Nobel Peace Prize 2014 - Press Release

The pupil formerly known as YaYaTamTam...

Hello guys !
 Let's introduce myself. 
I'm Elise alias Honey. 
Last year I was Yaya Tamtam but I changed, it was so long. I prefer Honey, it's cutest :) 

I am in terminal L and I'm 16. 

I love reading books and listening to music. 
I listen to several kind of music: reggae, a bit of rap etc... 

I want to talk about a book that I really appreciate, I read it twice. 

 It's "Les yeux jaunes des crocodiles". 

Don't judge this book by its cover and title. 

It is about life, love, work and maybe philosophy. 

 It's the story of a woman very simple, she lacks self-confidence, she lost her husband, her sister is so rich and beautiful, she writes a book, there is a big liar, she falls in love, she is lost in her mind, her daughters grow up, she talks to the stars, her mother is cruel. 

She could be anyone in real life. 

This book is funny, touching, sometimes sad, but mainly it is hoping. 

Katherine Pancol (the author) wrote 2 books for the hangers-on who are so good too: "La valse lente des tortues" and "Les écureuils de Central Park sont tristes le dimanche". 

Anyway, I can say that there are one of my favorites books.
 I recommended them for people who aren't scared by 600 and 900 pages  books  :p

We welcome Primrose...

Hi,

         First of all I am Primrose ( or Prim ). 

I think most of you already suppose I took this pseudonyme from "The Hunger Games" series.

 I chose it because, in the books, Prim seems to be the sweetest girl in the world, and I am nothing near sweet. I love what is dark, and she is just so light, almost shinny.

I live with my mother, sisters and brother in Bourges. 

We moved in almost two years ago; before that I lived near Paris. 

I like it here because there are not too many people, I enjoy the silence when I can reach it.

         I have a real passion for  reading and writing. I wanted to become a writer when I was a young girl but I changed my mind growing up, I became more realistic. I suppose.

I think I love reading because it makes me forget everything else, only a few people can understand how much it is good to just read, and stop thinking. I love escaping reality sometimes, just get myself lost in a world which is not mine, even if it only exists on paper.

This article is for my English class so I guess I will write about a British book. One of my favorite is "The picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde. It is one of the most amazing British novel for me.

         It is the story of Dorian Grey, a wealthy young man who tries to discover the world by himself. He is really charming and attractive, but he doesn't even know himself and that's what I think is making him so different.

Suddenly he met a man who changed his life, forever.

This older friend made him explore dangerous ways into decadence. Drug, alcohol, prostitutes, simply every sins he knew. He enjoyed it, like young people who are too curious to stop discovering new pleasures. But the pain and scars he inflicted  on himself didn't affect his body, only his soul, which he sold to the devil and got stocked in a picture of him to keep his body young, forever.

I won't tell the end, I don't want to spoil it, but I recommand that book, it is a really beautiful piece of work, and Wilde was just a genius !

 To finish my presentation, just a little quote from my favorite German play, "Faust" by Goethe.

" The deed is everything, the glory nothing. "

Somethingintheway is back...

Hey everybody !!!!!

I’m somethingintheway ( in link with the song of Nirvana) I’m 19 , I’m here for the third year because I'm repeating a year .

Since this summer I moved in Bourges next to the Auron lake.

I have some hobbies , I’m a volunteer fireman andI spend the majority of my time with headphones listening to music: I listen a lot to rock, metal and folk metal .

One of my favorite band is Motörhead .

 [this is a song I particularly enjoy! Mrs P.]

 I like to read: my favorite books is from Maxime Chattam ,it’s “autre monde”, and I really like TV series and movies .

This time I chose to present you my favorite  movie ,it is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk : it’s the story of Jack who just hopes for one thing  : escape from his monotonous daily life. 

He will meet Tyler Durden a soap seller with an anarchist and disturbing philosophy. 

Together they decide to create a thing with eight rules who will be organized all around the world .

But this movie has a list of rules which prohibit to say what it is and it would be sad to break the rules  ,  so I will give you the rules and maybe you will find what is the name of this movie:

- The first rule is, you do not talk about it

- The second rule is, you do not talk about it

- The third rules is, if someone yells stop, goes limp, top out the fight is over

- The fourth rules is, only two guys to a fight

- The fith rules is, one fight a time

- The sixth rules is, no shirts no shoes

- The seventh rules is, fights will go on as they have to

- The eighth and final rules is , if it’s your first night you have to fight .

[Eh! That sounds like a game! Mrs P.]

I hope my article appeals to you , don’t hesitate to leave a comment (please !!! it will help you and me to get some points cause it’s difficult to get extra credits )

See you soon.
