NEW YORK CITY

New York is a city that I’ve never visited, but I want to visit it as soon as possible.
It is the most populous city in the United States. During more than a century it has been one of the main centers of trade and finance.
New York has got a lot of neighborhoods and buildings which are famous and well-known around the world; for example: The liberty’s statue, Wall Street, the Empire State (which is one of the tallest buildings of the world), Central Park, etc.

I want to travel to New York City because I think that this city is amazing and incredible. There are a lot of famous people; there are a lot of shops, and surprising buildings. I want to rise to the Empire State, and visit The Time’s Square, take a lot of photos and walk along in the Central Park.

My dad, stayed there a few years ago, and when he returned, he showed me the photos and told me all the things that he visited and learned about the city. He told me a lot of interesting things about New York, for example that he stayed in the biggest toy shop of the world, which is situated in the Time’s Square.

When I see New York photos I shiver because it’s so big, and its lights are fantastic and full of life.

Free writing 2 - THE MUSIC I LOVE

THE MUSIC I LOVE

I really like listen to music, it makes me feel happy and very alive because sometimes when I’m listening to music I can’t resist dancing. My favourite singers are, for example, Mika, James Morrison, Robbie Williams and Beyoncé. I like listen to English music, and when I’m listening this kind of music I think that I’m improving my English and amplifying my vocabulary.
Sometimes I listen to the radio (los 40 principales) where I often listen my favourite songs. When I listen a good song in the radio, I look for it in the internet to save it in my computer and then in my mp3. I know that it isn’t good for the discovery industry but it is more comfortable, easier and cheaper than buy CD’s.
I also like Spanish singers like “El canto del loco”, “Pereza” or “Melendi”. So, I think that all the Spanish songs are very similar, but English songs are very diferent and I think that each English singer have his own style.

Now I want to tell you about one of my favourite singers, called James Morrison:

His songs are very special for me and its lyrics are very beautiful and emotional. He sings in English and I posted one of his songs in my blog, called Please, don’t stop the rain, this is my favourite song.
James Morrison was born on 1984 in Rugby, England; where he lived a difficult youthful. When he was thirteen, he started to take guitar classes and then, he started to play the guitar on the streets following the example from well-known artists like Steve Wonder.
The single that made him a known singer was You give me something, it was his first own single. Then He released his second album, Songs for You, Truths for Me in 2008, which entered the top five in the UK.
Maybe, his most known song is broken strings, which he sings with Nelly Furtado.
I love him, and next year, I want to go to his concert in Barcelona, I’m informed about it, and I think that now, he is working on his third album.

Here, you've got another song which I like a lot, called Burns like summer sun:
