Advice from a firefighter
https://www.ted.com/talks/mark_bezos_a_life_lesson_from_a_volunteer_firefighter#t-212603
This video was about a firefighter and his first experience as a volunteer firefighter and his life lesson from it. In my opinion, the best part of this video was when the volunteer explained a life lesson he got. This is: Do what you want the time you think about it. In this way, he reminds us that we are people and we need help from others and the other way round. His final message, in my words was: Actions speak louder than words.

This video was about a man who had a life lesson from a voluntary job. It teaches us to be generous and helpful, both of which are simple qualities. Also he reminds people not to wait and take chances in their life.The small acts of kindness are the ones that count.

This video is about a speech of a volunteer firefigher named Mark Bezos.
He explains his experiences of his first fire and encourages us to make a difference in everyday lives, be generous and help other people.
His speech is inspirational, in some places humorous and gives us food for thought.

Charles Dickens's biography
A very interesting book!
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens is one of the most famous writers in Britain. He was born in 1812 near Portsmouth on the south coast of England and he died on 9 June, 1870. As a child, he and his family were living in poor and he didn't have a lot of happy memories. His father was in prison because of the debts that were not paid.
His novels
He has wonderful written skills! By his novels, not only did he present his strong feelings, but he also defended the people who suffered by poverty. He always supported his opinion and his books are controversial. "Christmas Carol", "Oliver Twist", "David Copperfield" and other world-famous mastrerpieces have a very important message for all of us.
My opinion
At first glance, I don't like the idea of reading a biography due to the fact that I think that it might be boring, but we mustn't forgot the phrase: " Don't judge a book by its cover." Then I came round to my teacher's way of thinking. Never had I been fascinated so much by a book! I definitely recommend it! While I was reading this book, I also noticed that there are more to biographies than meets the eye! And I am ready to run a mile in order to read another biography like this.

An extreme sport!
Bossaball
What's the funniest, craziest and ( I nearly forgot)... the "easiest" sport you can think of? Do you believe that there is a sport that players are bounce on a trampoline to strike the ball and to pass it over a net? In fact, this sport exists and it is called bossaball. It began in Spain by Belgian Filip Eyckmans.
In this sport, the player has to pass the ball by using any body part in order to score by landing the ball in the opposing team's court.
This sport requires a lot of training! Due to the fact that during you do acrobatics, quite often you might get seriously injured for instunce to fall down and to get bruised! On the other hand, it is an absolutely interesting, funny and spectacular sport.
To sum up, I really believe that bossaball will get more popular. However, I wouldn't like to try it but I really recommend it you if you are an adrenaline junkie because there is more in this sport than meets the eye!
