A post to say goodbye

I've spent a really good time here, in Queenswood. It is the best English summer school, I've ever been to. I've made a lot of new friends from different countries, developed my English and had fun. The thing I realy liked is that we never feel bored, we always had something to do. The lessons were very exciting, as well as activities( I even lerned to play tennis) and excursions.
The food was good too, I will miss those tasty buns with chocolate....
Thanks to all the teachers, our houseparents and students, I'll never forget you.
I'll miss you, Queenswood!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life in the future

Life changes so quickly... New gadgets, new inventions... Some years ago there was no internet, and now I'm writing a blog here.. Maybe some years later people will be able to travel through time, cars will fly and scientists will find a way to live forever..
Life changes so quickly, and I don't know what it will be like in the future. But I suppose, that the most important and simple things- friendship, love, happiness, family- will never change, because they are timeless.

Brigitte Bardot


Mini Biography
Brigitte Bardot was born on September 28, 1934, in Paris, France. Her father had an engineering degree and worked with his father in the family business. Her mother was 14 years younger than Brigitte's father and they married in 1933. Brigitte's mother encouraged her daughter to take up music and dance, and she proved to be very adept at it. By the time she was 15 Brigitte was trying a modeling career, and found herself in the French magazine "Elle". Her incredible beauty readily apparent, Brigitte next tried films. In 1952 she appeared on screen for the first time as Javotte Lemoine in
Le trou normand (1952). Two more films followed and it was also the same year she married Roger Vadim. The two had known each other years earlier and she wanted to marry him when she was 17, but her parents quashed any marriage plans until she turned 18. The union lasted only five years. Capitalizing on her success in French films, she made her first US production in 1953 in Un acte d'amour (1953) with Kirk Douglas, but she continued to make films in France. Brigitte's explosive sexuality took the US by storm, and the effect she had on millions of American men who hadn't seen a woman like her in a long, long time--if ever--was electric. took the US by storm, her explosive sexuality being unlike anything seen in the US since the days of the "flapper" in the 1920s. rise to the phrase "sex kitten" and fascination of her in the US consisted of magazines photographs and dubbed over French films--good, bad or indifferent, her films drew audiences--mainly men--into theaters like lemmings. In 1965 she appeared as herself in the American-made Dear Brigitte (1965) with James Stewart (she only appeared in one scene). Just before she turned 40, Brigitte retired from movies after filming L'histoire très bonne et très joyeuse de Colinot Trousse-Chemise (1973). She prefers life outside of stardom. While it enabled her to become internationally famous, it also carried with it annoyances. It wasn't anything for her to have "fans" enter her house or wander around the grounds of her home in the hopes of getting a glimpse of her or to take something that belonged to her. Paparazzi constantly hounded her with their cameras. She has been so soft-hearted that some people even have taken advantage of her generosity. After her life in the spotlight, Brigitte went on to become a leading spokesperson for animal rights and started the "Foundation Brigitte Bardot" dedicated solely to that cause. Her work in that realm is, perhaps, far greater than any film she could have made.

American beauty



Plot:


Lester and Carolyn Burnham seem to be a perfect husband and wife, in a perfect house, in a perfect neighborhood. But inside, Lester is slipping deeper and deeper into a hopeless depression. He finally snaps when he becomes infatuated with one of his daughter's friends. Meanwhile, his daughter Jane is developing a happy friendship with a shy boy next-door named Ricky, who lives with a homophobic father.

It is one of my favourite films. It is a little dramatic and sad, but it is a good film, it arouses deep emotions, makes you rethink your view on life and think about things, which are really important. It made a great impression on me.
