Unit 5: Writings

WB; Page 47; Ex 3

   Hello writers! Today I am going to summarize the most important tips that Charlie P. has told us on her blog article and why she thinks blogging is usefull. At first, she said that blogging helps her to reflect her feelings and success on the past and present and to plan her new movements. Also, she said that blogging is better than writing a diary because when you know people are going to see it, you write as well as you can. She said that it isn't important about what subject you write if it helps you process your ideas and discover new ones. She talked about comments on her blog posts and how this boosts her confidence and make her continue writing without any important disadvantages.

   In my opinion, blogging is a good way to express the feelings, but, under my point of view, the bad comments would make you dessist and stop writing. So my advice would be to start writing a blog but with the comments out before you start to be sure about your writing and your blog.

CELTIC MUSIC

A- ALL SOULS NIGHT_LOREENA MCKENNIT   TRANSLATE

Hogueras salpicando las pendientes onduladas

Las figuras bailan alrededor y alrededor

De tambores que tocan los ecos de la oscuridad

Moviendose en el sonido pagano

En algún lugar en una memoria escondida

Las imágenes pasarán delante de mis ojos

De fragantes noches de paja y de hoguera

Y bailando para la siguiente sorpresa

Puedo ver la luz en la distancia

Temblando en el oscuro reloj de la noche

Velas y faroles están bailando, bailando

Un vals en todas las almas nocturnas

Figuras de tallos de maíz curvadas en la sombra

Sostenidas en lo alto cuando las llamas saltan alto

El cuchillo verde sujeta el cepillo de acebo

Para señalar dónde el año viejo pasa

Puedo ver la luz en la distancia

Temblando en el oscuro reloj de la noche

Velas y faroles están bailando, bailando

Un vals en todas las almas nocturnas

Hogueras salpicando las pendientes onduladas

Las figuras bailan alrededor y alrededor

De tambores que tocan los ecos de la oscuridad

Moviéndose en el sonido pagano

De pie en el puente que cruza

El río que va fuera del mar

El viento se cae de mil voces

Ellos pasan al puente y a mi

Puedo ver la luz en la distancia

Temblando en el oscuro reloj de la noche

Velas y faroles están bailando, bailando

Un vals en todas las almas nocturnas  x2
