A 27 year old boy writer

Here I am again,
One of my favourite hobbies is watching videos of famous speeches.
As Internet gives us the possibility to get "almost" everything, I was searching the net and found a speech given by Obama, in November 2008, after being elected President of the United States of America. I don't know if this man is going to improve America, I really hope so, but what it is sure, he is one of the most talented speakers in the world.
A young 27 year old "boy" is the owner of Obama's words. Jon Favreau is his name. He is the new president's speechwriters director. But Obama makes them his words.

The new president of the USA

Mr. Obama is the new president of the United States of America. He has been chosen by the american people because they think he is the right person to save America and the world of the terrible economic crisis all over the world.
This moment is very special for the USA, because he is the first "black" who is going to manage the first country of the world. But he was not the first "black" man who has tried to be the president. Martin Luther King, who was killed in 1968, was the first man who tried to bring hope to the world. His words "I have a dream" are still with us.
Mr. Obama may Martin Luther's words come true. Obama can!

Question: How must be the leader of a group?

Welcome to 2009

Hi pupils,
I am happy to see you here again. Hope you have had a nice time last Cristmas. The second term has just started and you should speak english as much as you can. The main objective for this term is that you try to use the english language in my lessons. You must know that english is not only "grammar exercises", I'm sure you know it, but it is one of the main tools to use the language properly.
This blog was created for you to write freely in english, but unfortunately not everybody was making the correct use of it. So, anonimous writings are not permitted and you should write with your personal e-mail.
Speak english my pupils. You can!
