Presidents' Day!

Presidents’ Day,or Washington’s Birthday, in the United States, this holiday is to honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.The origin of Presidents’ Day date back in the 1880s, when the birthday of Washington was first celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved a number of federal holidays to Mondays. Following much discussion, Congress rejected the name change. After the bill went into effect in 1971, however, Presidents’ Day became the commonly accepted name, due in part to retailers’ use of that name to promote sales and the holiday’s proximity to Lincoln’s birthday. Presidents’ Day is usually marked by public ceremonies in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country. Following much discussion, Congress rejected the name change.

Bad Habits!

My bad habits are much more than I think. I eat my nails, I'm always nervous, I answer reudely and I talk loudly. I bite my pens, I always say "like". When someone ask something I answer "wait" and I don't remember that thing. I never eat vegetables, I always hope! I have more bad habits!!

Frankestein!

Last wensday I read an article on Speak Up! This was an extract a famous book Frankenstein and deals with the its humor revisited like 'Young Frankestein' and 'Frankeweenie' by Tim Burton. Also deals with ' The Addams Family' and 'The Horror Rocky Picture show'. People often think that Frankenstein is tghe name of the monster, actually is the name of the scientist who gave him life. The extract is the chapter five that deals with the feelings of the scientist when he was giving life to the monster. At the beginning he was excited, but when the monster was finished he was scared of him because the monster was ugly. I've chosen this extract because I like Frankenstein movie and its humor revisited, and horror series like The Addams Family. I watched some series from "The Horror Rocky Picture show".
