WORLD WATER DAY



Most human activities that use water produce wastewater.  As the overall demand for water grows, the quantity of wastewater produced and its overall pollution load are continuously increasing worldwide. Over 80% of the world’s wastewater – and over 95% in some least developed countries – is released to the environment without treatment. 


Every 22nd March the Word Water Day  is celebrated. This year’s World Water Day theme is wastewater and the campaign, ‘Why waste water?’ is about reducing and reusing wastewater. Have you thought about what you can do to reduce and reuse wastewater?
Let's gonna watch this video and think about it!!

Hi everyone. More bad news for music world. Last saturday one of the legends of Rock&Roll passed away. We are talking about the one and only Chuck Berry. Certainly, Elvis Presley was the King of Rock&Roll, but we could say that Chuck Berry was the Father of Rock&Roll, or at least one of them. Chuck's music has been a huge influence on many generation of musicians, and helped establish the canons of this music style, the most popular in the last seventy years...his guitar solos and his showmanship will be remembered forever. Enjoy this classic, one of his most popular songs, "Johnny B. Goode"

COUNTING WITH RHYME AND RHYTHM

Does anyone know how to choose something or someone? Many cultures have different ways to do it.
English culture around the world has some children songs that are easy to remember and easy to use as well. Besides, there are lot of variations of them and we can find them every now and then in lots of cultural manifestations: films as Pulp Fiction, Justin Bieber's songs and so on. They are called "Eeny meenies" due the fact they are so popular.
We want to show you a few. If you have a question and you can't decide, choose this...

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
My mother said to pick
The very best one
And you are not it.


Another version

Eeney meeney miney moe...
Catch a tiger by his toe
If he hollers make him pay
Fifty dollars everyday
My mom said to pick the very best one
and you - are - not - it.
