About the video by TED Talks, I want to
say, that it doesn't provide me anything about motivation. She only talks about
the motivation that the boys and girls haven't got in the school. About
the problems with the grit.
I agree with her, I think that the guys in the
school haven’t got any grit to continue, or to study, they haven’t got any
motivation, and I think that’s because the most part of teachers are very
depressing, or something like that. They don’t provide any motivation towards the
kids and teenagers. Maybe it’s normal, but I prefer a teacher who helps you,
saying things like: come on! You can do this! But there are only a few who do that…
I see very differences between Chee Seng and Tracy. First, the age, Tracy is thirteen years old, and Chee Seng is sixteen. Chee Seng is more responsable then Tracy, Chee Seng trys drugs, but he doesn't like it, and he stopped, but Tracy, only by the influence of the popular people, she started drinking, smoking, taking drugs... Tracy search to please Evie and company (the cool and popular people), however Chee Seng didn't search anything by anybody, he only received the help by an other guy (in this case a cool and popular person too) and they became friends (but it's a bad relationship). But, when Chee Seng realised that this friendship is a bad influence he stopped seeing him and he began to meet with his old friends again.On the other hand, Chee Seng is rich, however Tracy is poor.
SIMILARITIES Both have problems at home, Chee Seng's father left his family. And Tracy's stepfather took drugs and went to rehab and still takes drugs. Both prove the drugs, but only Tracy get addicted it. The Chee Seng's father left the family, and the Tracy's father is divorced by her mom, I mean, both have the problems when lived only with their mothers.
A sixteen-year-old girl, called LaYessi, had long curly gold extensions. One day she was walking in a neightbourhood and decided to enter in a big mansion. The mansion was empty. She went to the kitchen and found three plates with fried rice: a big plate, a medium plate and a little plate. She began with the big plate, but she was hungrier and she ate the medium too. When she finished the medium she still was hungry, and she ate the little too. When she finished she went to spy around the house. Finally she was sleepy and she went to seach the bedtoom. She onened a lot of doors and finally found a bedroom with a small bed. She chacked the bed and suddenly the bed broke, suprised she wnt out of the room. She opened an another door, and she found a big bed, and finally she couls take a snap. Suddenly she heard a loud sueam. When she opened her eyes she saw a chinese family. She was mudered in the house, the house by the chinese mafia.
This a song by Jessie J. I think that this song talks about adolescence and how many people try to be someone else, when you should be yourself. It also talks about following your dreams and never giving up.I feel identified with this song because I also feel like this sometimes.
ENGLISH LYRICS:
I stare at my reflection in the mirror Why am I doing this to myself? Losing my mind on a tiny error I nearly left the real me on the shelf, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are In the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving Dreaming is believing It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard To follow your heart Tears don't mean you're losing Everybody's bruising Just be true to who you are -Who you are- (bis)
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect? I forgot what to do to fit the mold The more I try the less is working Because everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are In the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving Dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard To follow your heart But tears don't mean you're losing Everybody's bruising There's nothing wrong with who you are
Yes, No's, egos, fake shows like woo Just go, and leave me alone Real talk, real life, good love, Goodnight with a smile, that's my own, no, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are In the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving Dreaming is believing It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard To follow your heart Tears don't mean you're losing Everybody's bruising Just be true to who you are
SPANISH LYRICS:
Miro fijamente a mi reflejo en el espejo, ¿Por qué me estoy haciendo esto a mí misma? Perdiendo la cabeza por un pequeño error, casi dejo a mi verdadero yo en la estantería, no, no, no.
No te pierdas a ti misma (quien eres) en la confusión de las estrellas, la vista es engañosa, soñar es creer, está bien si no está bien.
Algunas veces es difícil seguir a tu corazón. Las lágrimas no significan que estés perdiendo, todo el mundo tiene moratones, simplemente sé fiel a quien tú eres. -Quien tú eres - (bis)
Cepillándome el pelo, ¿estoy perfecta? Me olvidé de lo qué hacer para caber en el molde, cuanto más lo intento, menos funciona, porque todo dentro de mí, grita no, no, no, no.
No te pierdas a ti misma, en la confusión de las estrellas, la vista es engañosa, soñar es creer.
Está bien si no está bien, algunas veces es difícil seguir a tu corazón. Las lágrimas no significan que estés perdiendo, todo el mundo tiene moratones, no hay nada malo con quien tú eres.
Sies, noes, falsas expresiones como cortejo, solo vete y déjame sola. Conversación real, vida de verdad, amor del bueno, buenas noches con una sonrisa, esa soy yo, no, no, no, no.
No te pierdas a ti misma, en la confusión de las estrellas, la vista es engañosa, soñar es creer. Está bien si no está bien, algunas veces es difícil seguir a tu corazón. Las lágrimas no significan que estés perdiendo, todo el mundo tiene moratones, simplemente sé fiel a quien tú eres.
I think that this song is more or less a rebel song, because she talks about overcoming things related with adolescence. For example, she says that she is in love, this is tipical in adolescence, and she talks about arriving late at home, this is typical in teenagers because the teenagers don't arrive at home if they are at party, or with friends and boyfriend.
ENGLISH LYRICS:
You can tell by the way She walks that she's my girl You can tell by the way She talks, she rules the world
You can see in her eyes That no one is her chain She's my girl My supergirl
And then she'd say It's okay I got lost On the way but I'm a supergirl And supergirls don't cry
And then she'd say It's alright I got home Late last night, but I'm a supergirl And supergirls just fly
(And supergirls just fly)
And then she'd say It's alright I got home Late last night, but I'm a supergirl And supergirls just fly
And then she'd say That nothing can go wrong When you're in love What can go wrong?
Then she'd laugh The night time into day Pushing her fear Further along
And then she'd say It's okay I got lost On the way but I'm a supergirl And supergirls don't cry
And then she'd shout Down the line Tell me she's got no more time 'Cause she's a supergirl And supergirls don't hide
And then she'd scream In my face Tell me to leave, leave this place 'Cause she's a supergirl And supergirls just fly
Yes, she's a supergirl A supergirl She's sewing seeds She's burning trees She's sewing seeds She's burning trees Yes, she's a supergirl A supergirl A supergirl My supergirl
SPANISH LYRICS:
Por cierto, tu puedes decir Que la camina es mi chica, Por cierto, tu puedes decir Que la que habla, es que gobierna el mundo.
Puedes ver en sus ojos Que a nadie encadena, Ella es mi chica Mi superchica.
Y luego ella dirá Está bien, Me perdí En el camino, pero soy una superchica Y las superchicas no lloran.
Y luego ella dirá Está bien, Tengo un hogar Pasada la noche, pero soy una superchica Y las superchicas sólo vuelan.
Y las superchicas sólo vuelan.
Y luego ella dirá Está bien, Tengo un hogar Pasada la noche, pero soy una superchica Y las superchicas sólo vuelan.
Y luego ella dirá Que nada podrá salir mal Cuando estás enamorada ¿Qué puede salir mal?
Y luego ella reirá De noche y de día Empujando sus miedos Muy lejos.
Y luego ella dirá Está bien, Me perdí En el camino, pero soy una superchica Y las superchicas no lloran.
Y luego ella gritará Más adelante... Dime, ella ya no tiene más tiempo Porqué ella es un superchica Y las superchicas no se enconden.
Y luego ella llorará Frente a mi, Dime que vas a dejar este lugar Porqué ella es un superchica Y las superchicas sólo vuelan.
Sí, ella es una superchica Una superchica, Ella cultiva semillas Ella quema árboles, Ella cultiva semillas Ella quema árboles, Sí, ella es una superchica Una superchica, Una superchica, Mi superchica.
