What does it Jean? Hi everyone! We' re studying Shakespeare at school so that our teacher grave us some material about love/marriage and this kind of stuff. However I can't find the meaning of some of these expressions. Could u please tell me what they mean ? And if u want add some situatioin in which I could use them. - to carry a torch for someone - to have a soft spot for someone - to entrap someone - to tie the knot - to take the plunge Ty Matteo

I don' t really want school to finish! This year has been by far better than the others, arguably because I' ve got to know my classmates better and new people too. I broadened my horizons when I decided to give up dancing. That activity or sport whatever you prefer had been my reason of life since that moment, but when I realised people coming from the dancing world made me feel bad and often angry I decided to stop doing it. Now I have got more time to spend on school and languages and get to know new people, you know... when you spend hours in front of a mirror trying to improve your performance you lose friends. My relationship with people both at school and at home wasn't good before due to the stress I got from the atmosphere at the dancing school. Now I greet so many people and I' m always stopped by student from other classes who want to have a chat with me. In Aprile we did an exchange with Belgium,the greatest time I' ve ever had definitely, and I still talk to them almost everyday. Before I always felt cross and on a negative mood, now I enjoy every single moment even if I don't still actually have got a clear life aim.
