Sing along with ROBBIE WILLIAMS:

WHITE CHRISTMAS

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

"May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white"

(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow)

(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

Merry what...??????

Listen to Sergio Ramos and try to understand his English:

Aaaaand... this is what he was supposed to say:
 “Hi, we hope all of you have a great time playing football at Real Madrid Fundation School. Merry Christmas and happy new year”

William Kamkwamba, an example to all of us:

William Kamkwamba (born August 5, 1987) is a Malawian inventor and author. He gained fame in his country when, in 2002, he built a windmill to power a few electrical appliances in his family's house in Masitala using blue gum trees, bicycle parts, and materials collected in a local scrapyard. 

From Wikipedia,

WINDMILL = MOLINO DE VIENTO
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES = APARATOS ELÉCTRICOS
SCRAPYARD = DESGUACE

"I tried, and I made it (...)

Trust yourself and believe; whatever happens, don't give up."
