Fireworks

Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. A fireworks event (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects produced by firework devices. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with flames and sparks of many colors, typically red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common throughout the world and are the focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations.

Katy Perry Firework lyrics the third single of the album "Teenage Dream"

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

This video explains real life situations and I assure you encouraged and will teach you many things.

Unit 2. Favorite Food

This is my favorite food. You can read the preparation, what are the ingredients and types of crepes.

Finally put my favorite recipe, take a look.

My favorite food are crepes.

A crêpe or crepe is a type of very thin pancake, usually made from wheat flour. The word is of French origin, deriving from the Latin crispa, meaning "curled". Crêpes are served with a variety of fillings, from the most simple with only sugar or elaborate savoury fillings.

Preparation

Crêpes are made by pouring a thin liquid batter onto a hot frying pan or flat circular hot plate, often with a trace of butter on the pan's surface. The batter is spread evenly over the cooking surface of the pan or plate either by tilting the pan or by distributing the batter with an offset spatula. A cooked crêpe is a very thin pancake.

Common savoury fillings for crêpes served for lunch or dinner are cheese, ham, and eggs, and various meat products.

When sweet, they can be eaten as part of breakfast or as a dessert. They can be filled and topped with various sweet toppings, often including Nutella spread, preserves, sugar (granulated or powdered), whipped cream, fruit spreads, custard, and sliced soft fruits or confiture.

Types of Crepes and ingredients

Crêpes are especially popular throughout France. The common ingredients include flour, eggs, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt. Crêpes are usually of two types: sweet crêpes made with wheat flour and slightly sweetened; and savoury galettes made with buckwheat flour and unsweetened.

Here's my favorite recipe: http://www.recetasgratis.net/Receta-de-Crepes-pollo-receta-11252.html

Unit 2. Foods we like

Unit 2. Taste is one of the traditional five senses. It refers to the ability to detect the flavor of substances such as food, certain minerals, poisons, etc.

Humans receive tastes through sensory organs called taste buds, concentrated on the top of the tongue. The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and umami. Some do argue that umami is a basic taste. “Umami” is originally the Japanese word for “meaty” or “savory”.

As taste senses both harmful and beneficial things, all basic tastes are classified as either aversive or appetitive, depending upon the effect the things they sense have on our bodies. Sweetness helps to identify energy-rich foods, while bitterness serves as a warning sign of poisons

The basic tastes contribute only partially to the sensation and flavour of food in the mouth.

1. Cakes are Buttery
2. Cheetos are Crunchy
3. Gumdrops are Sweet
4. Lettuce is Bland
5. Fruits are Healthy
6. Cheese is Salty
7. Fried Chicken is Crispy
8. Pizza is Oily
9. Chili is Spicy
10. Watermelon is Juicy
11. Limon is Sour
