The Function of Fashion

“My philosophy has always been to help men and women feel
comfortable and confident through the clothes they wear”.
(Giorgio Armani)
I agree with Giorgio Armani’s point of view: In my opinion, everyone should wear what they like and what suits them. It’s important to feel good about the way you dress. You shouldn’t wear clothes that you really don’t like just because they are fashionable.
Everyone is influenced by celebs. Celebs have an important role in some people’s life. They try to copy their idols’ style and they become obsessed with fashion.
When you are out of control, you just spend, spend, spend . You waste money on things that you really don’t need. You become a shopaholic or a fashion victim. These people are obsessed and they can’t stop buying new things, and normally they become in debt. In my opinion, you should try to be consumer-wise, being careful with your choices and knowing exactly what you need and what you don’t need.
In schools, if you don’t have fashionable or branded clothes, other people will make fun of you. I don’t think it’s correct, because some teens’ parents can’t afford those expensive clothes. You shouldn’t be discriminated just because you wear clothes without a logo.
In my opinion, everyone should choose what they really like and have their own personality and their own style. You should be yourself!

My future

In ten years’ time I’ll be 23. This is what I predict: it’s unlikely that I’ll get married before then. I’ll probably live with my parents or in some other place .According to my future ambitions I hope I’ll be a doctor in ten years’ time. Perhaps I’ll work in a big hospital, doing what I like.
I don’t think I’ll be rich, but that’s not my priority. I hope I’ll have my own money and live a good life, with my friends and family.
I hope I’ll have some free time to travel, to play my violin and to continue with my Scouts project.

Little Red Riding Hood had a mobile phone

Once upon a time little red riding hood received a computer from her grandmother, and she was very happy. She also received a mobile phone. She discovered a very interesting thing called “Facebook”, where she could meet people just with a click of her mouse. A month later she had already made a lot of new friends, but there was a very special one…
They made an appointment by mobile phone, and she was very excited. But after that day nothing would ever be the same. When she discovered that her friend was the wolf, it was too late because he had kidnapped her and she thought that it was the end. However, she suddenly saw her grandmother with a team of marines, who caught the wolf.
Her grandmother explained that the wolf was being searched for in lots of countries and without little red riding hood’s mistake they could never have caught him.
She thanked little red riding hood and gave her advice, telling her to be more careful in the future.
And … they lived happily ever after.

TRUE LOVE by Isaac Asimov

By writing a science-fiction love story, Isaac Asimov wanted to do much more than entertain.
From my point of view, this short-story reminds us that love is not based on physical characteristics but on each one’s personality. Sometimes we forget it and when we are not instantly attracted by someone we don’t even consider that that person might be “the one”.
Passion, a “physical feeling” is related to the outlook, but love goes beyond those boundaries. It is built from special moments lived between the lovers and based on mutual respect and kinship.
We can find this message in Asimov’s story when Milton tries to look for his ideal girl according to certain characteristics and, when he meets the perfect ones, he doesn’t feel any touch or true love.
Love is a very unique feeling which cannot be forced and it entails much more than matching data banks.

Palavras pelo Clube de Teatro

O Clube de Teatro

da Escola apresentou Palavras

No dia 20 de Maio, pelas 21h30, na Assembleia Figueirense, o clube de teatro da escola levou à cena a peça "Palavras".

Sinopse da Peça: Num estranho mundo, um forte e repressivo poder impede o pensamento livre e a sua expressão através das palavras escritas e ditas. São proibidos os livros, as cartas, os jornais, as revistas, os diários, as conversas, os discursos, as manifestações, assim como o uso, por parte dos gentios desse país, da palavra “Não”. Uma fuga das sombras desse mundo faz instalar o caos e a punição. Essa fuga passa a ser a semente de uma nova ordem, mas é difícil vencer os que detêm o poder das trevas. Este mundo de cartão, entretanto, vai empacotando os homens, reduzindo-os a seres sem cabeça.

Identity

I am a girl, not a boy
I am happy, not sad
I am good, not bad
I like solidarity, not selfishness
I am free, not dependant
I am human
I like democracy, not dictatorship
I like the truth and hate lies
I like equality, not racism
I like living… in harmony.

Identity

No one looks
The way I do
I have noticed
That it’s true
No one walks the way I walk
No one talks the way I talk
No one says the things I say
I am Special
I am me
There’s no one else
