WARWICK CASTLE

This post has been written by Tayra da Veiga (3º ESO)


Hello! I'am Tayra and I am going to talk about Warwick Castle. I have chosen this topic because I find it is very interesting.

The first thing I am going to talk about is Warwick Castle, its location, its age, who built it and the amazing experiences you can live during the summer.

It is possible to walk the ramparts and climb the towers and look at the roofs of the houses of the town. It is placed in England and it is 1100 years old. It is one of the most popular castles in England.

It was built by William the 1st of England.

During the summer season, you can have the chance to step back in time. Knights in armour ride horses as they battle.

All in all, I think it would be a fantastic experience to stay there for the summer.

THE BEST FILM SONGS.

Music and cinema are with no doubt closely linked. We sometimes remember a film just for a good song that appeared on it, or the other way round, a song reminds us of a film that we have not seen for a long time. There are many fantastic songs in the history of movies.

We all know a lot of them and most of us are able to sing or at least hum any of the most popular songs. We present you here ten of the most famous ones. As we always tell you, we are open to your comments and suggestions. Don´t be shy and tell us which movie song is your favourite!



"Singin´ in the Rain"; Singin´ in the Rain (1952). Gene Kelly performed this unforgettable song in the musical film of the same name. Have you ever sung it while you are getting wet in the rain?

"Over the Rainbow"; The Wizard of Oz (1939). Judy Garland sang this very popular song in her role of Dorothy Gale after her aunt tells her to find herself a place where she wouldn´t get into trouble. The rest of the story is well-known, isn´t it?

"Moon River"; Breakfast at Tiffany´s (1961). This Oscar-winning song was composed by Johny Mercer and Henry Mancini and was sung by Audrey Hepburn while "Fred" Varjak (George Peppard), discovered her, accompanied by her guitar, sitting on the fire escape outside their appartments.



"Mrs. Robinson"; The Graduate (1967). Simon &Garfunkel sang a version of this song of their album "The Sounds of Silence" for The Graduate, the film where a young Dustin Hoffman couldn´t resist Anne Bancroft´s charm.



"Stayin Alive", Saturday Night Fever (1977). We all have on our minds the image of John Travolta as Tony Manero dancing this disco song by The Bee Gees. Have you never tried to dance it?



"My Heart Will Go On"; Titanic (1997). One of the best-selling singles in history, Celine Dion sang this song in the blockbuster film Titanic. We bet you´ve heard it hundreds of times.



"Cabaret" Cabaret (1972). We have chosen this song from many famous ones at this film. Liza Minnelli (Sally Bowles) performs it at the Kit Kat Club, in the 1931 Berlin, just before the Nazi party raised to the power.



"Born to be Wild"; Easy Rider (1969). This rock song has become a roaring anthem for bikers. Sung by the Canadian band Steppenwolf, it is sometimes described as the first heavy metal song. At the film, the song was accompanied by the sounds of motorcycles.



"America"; West Side Story (1961). Composed by Leonard Bernstein (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics), Anita (the girlfriend of the leader of The Sharks), sings the praises of The United States of America, while a fellow Puerto Rican immigrant, Rosalia, sings in favour of Puerto Rico.



"Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"; Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid (1969). Whenever one listens to this song, Paul Newman (Butch Cassidy) appears riding wildly his bike. The song was performed by B.J. Thomas and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.



These are the ten movie songs we have chosen. For this time, let us include an eleventh one. It´s the song "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life". It belongs to Monthy Python´s Life of Brian (1979). We couldn´t leave it outside this post.  

And remember:"Worse things happen at sea, you know?"
