A SPECIAL SONG

Among all my favourite songs, there is a special one, the same way there is always a special person or a special place. It's Suzanne by Leonard Cohen. The first time I listened to it I was about 15. A friend had given an LP by Leonard Cohen to one of my elder sisters and I listened to it secretly. Soon I realised L. Cohen's songs made me feel something new I had never felt before and since then he has been one of my favourite singers. Now he is 76.

TASK: Have you got any special song? Write about it

WELCOME YOU ALL!!


What's a log? And a blog? A blog is a ( we )b+log. Is that clear now?
According to the Oxford Concise English Dictionary a log is
an official record of events during the voyage of a ship or aircraft ( also logbook ). Adapted to present days, a blog is a type of website usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or videos ( wikipedia ). I invite you to have your own English blog where you'll include commentaries, opinions, descriptions, feelings, videos... ; some will be compulsory and some optional and it will be on until June 2011. Hope you keep it up-dated since at the end of each term I'm going to evaluate your blogs and give it a mark.
Welcome and let's start with the first compulsory post ( remember you can include images, drawings, videos ...to each post ) Thanks and enjoy it!!!
