The Prince & me

I watched this movie and I thing that is very interesting. It talks about a guy that have to be a king but he ran away from his responsabilities. He gone to one part from west America. When he arrived there, he changed his name and he started to go to college like a normal guy. He met a beautiful girl and they was dating a lot. She was in love with him, but that is not the problem. The problem was tha she didn't know about the real life of the guy. He had to go back with his family because his father was sick. She knew all the true and she decided to be with him. They went to Dinamarca and in few days she changed all her normal life for a "Real life".

My Friends

I like a lot of things, but one of its is to hang out with my friends. I think that i have very good friends. I always have a great time with them, also if we only go to a park or we just stay at home.

Friends are people that you make with the time and you can trusth in them. In Fca i met a lot of people, but a real friend is one that help you whenever you need, or whenever you want, in the good one or in the bad one.

We are so differents, we have a different style, different likes, but the most importante thing is that i love them.

Mandy Moore - Only Hope Lyrics

Only Hope-Mandy Moore

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my handsand pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only Yours

I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars

Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing

and laughing again

When it feels like my dreams are so far

Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope

I give You my destiny

I'm giving You all of me

I want Your symphony

Singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray

To be only yoursI pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope

Vocabulary

Lay: to put or place in a horizontal position or position of rest; set down

Rose Rice, 22, was headed back to Delta, Pa., on Sunday after attending a Baltimore Ravens game when she lost control of her vehicle and ended up at the bottom of a steep embankment, according to her mother, Trish Demarest. The family enlisted friends to help search for Rice. On Tuesday, a passer-by saw Rice's Jeep at the bottom of a hill.
Rescue crews took the roof off the Jeep and were able to rescue Rice.
She suffered a brain injury that required surgery and had several broken bones, her mother said. Demarest said she and her family are grateful that the story didn't have a worse ending.
"It was like winning the lottery," she said. "Life's lottery. We have won and it's priceless."
