Making my hometown more appealing to people my age Making my hometown more appealing to people my age When I first moved to Brione, the small town in which I'm currently living, the first thing I noticed was that it seemed to be a very peaceful and nice place. I was 10 years old and I had always loved nature so, when I first saw the woods and all that green and tranquillity, I was enthusiastic and thought it would be the perfect place to live for me. During these years I've spent a lot of time playing in the lawns with my friends and I started to feel a deep connection between me and the surrounding nature. Since I've started the high school, however, I've started to feel the discomfort of living in an isolated place. Now when I want to go out with my friends or hang out through the shops, I always have to organise everything before and I certainly can't do it very often; so, my friends and I have started to think about which changes would make Brione more appealing to people our age. First of all my friends think that a cool bar and a disco would attract many teens but I would personally do something more concrete and feasible such as taking advantage of the location organising excursions or outdoor activities for those who love sport and nature. Besides, we have a small but pretty library that organises a lot of interesting initiatives and it may create projects for young people as well.

Dos semanas en California Este Junio fui a California por dos semanas con mi familia. Visité Los Angeles, San Francisco, los principales parques del estado y Big Sur, una estupenda región de la costa central. El parque qué me gustó más fue 'el Yosemite national park' aunque si también 'the Death valley' y 'el sequoia national park' son meravillosos. San Francisco fue la ciudad qué me gustó más estéticamente mientras Los Angeles me impresionó mucho por su diversidad y diferentes culturas . Los paisajes me incantaron por su vastidad y incontamination como lo de Big Sur, qué tiene una conformación qué produce una vista de las escolleras qué atrae turistas de cada parte del mundo. Ir a California fue un experiencia muy interesante y espero volver otra vez.

'Flabbergasted' Hi everyone, my English teacher always gives me and my classmates something to read and some clips  to increase our skills during the free time. The last day of school he gave us a paper with some advices for the summer holidays. In the text there was the verb 'to flabbergast'. Personally I have never heard it and I'm wondering if you guys use it in your everyday life. Do you use it or do you just use the expression 'I'm flabbergasted' (the one I found on google while I was searching its meaning)'

Four letter word

Hi everyone

Today I came across a song that I haven't heard for ages called 'friend is a four letter word'. I used to listen to it in the past without really thinking about the lyrics but today I paid attention to the title and realized that there was something wrong with it. In fact when I first saw the sentence 'friend is a four letter word' it pretty confused me because the word friend doesn't have 'four' word. Therefore I thought that it was a kind of figure of speech and googled it. I found several translations so I still don't understand what it means. 

Can you guys please tell me what it means and in which context would you use it?

Driving nuts Hi, can you guys please tell me if you use the expression 'driving nuts'? I've seen it once in a comment and I'm still thinking about its meaning ..and I think it is basically an another way to say 'getting crazy', isn't it? I'm not so sure anyway so can you please tell me if you use it in your everyday life and in which context  would you  use it?

The gravy train I really like listening to Pink Floyd's songs. Most of all I love one called 'have a cigar'. I've read the lyrics many times but there's a sentence that I still don't understand: 'we call it riding the gravy train'. What does 'gravy train' mean?
