I would like to describe my tap shoes.
Sometimes I actually stop and think about what my life would be like without dancing. I actually would have excessive free time, which would be super boring. I have learned to organize myself so that my free time is enough for me to do my homework and study.
Would I have to do another extracurricular activity if I stop dancing?
totally, I can´t spend so much time doing nothing
I have to be active and doing something
I actually need some time to rest too
I wonder what I would when I go to the university, would I still have time to dance?
What if I don’t have time to dance?
I also think a lot about my studies.
Which university would I go to?
Am i well prepared to handle all the courses?
Will I have any free time?
Should I study in another country?
Which career is the best for me?
I want to study industrial engineering, would I be good at it?
My mind is always full of thoughts.
I have faced a lot of challenges in my life. I have to struggle to overcome them and be successful. One of the many challenges I have faced was when i auditioned for the opening number for my dance show. First of all there were a lot of people auditioning and there were only a few spots available for the dancing number. I had to learn the dance and practice it a lot of times. It was very difficult learning it but i had to work hard for it. It took me a lot of time and effort to learn it but at the end i did it. Then I had to go and audition. I was totally nervous but i had to be confident and trust myself because I knew the whole dancing number. It was a problem because I really wanted to pass the audition but i had to work hard for it and the probability of me passing the audition were almost zero. When it was the time for me to audition mi did the number two times, I did it with all my energy and strength. That is how I solved the problem, I stood out in the audition so that the judges would notice me and want me on the dancing number. In addition to having to learn the number I had to deal with my nerves, but at the end I did it. I passed the audition because of all my effort and I was very happy for it.
In “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger,the character Holden is a typical teenager. The first thing we can observe from a typical teenager is Holden´s teenager language, an example of this is:
“After I got all packed, I sort of counted my dough. I don’t remember exactly how much I had, but I was pretty loaded.” p.52
Holden, as almost every other typical teenager, did adult´s stuff In this case he used to smoke and liked girls.
“I like to be somewhere at least where you can see some girls once in a while.” p.3
A lot of times Holden is not confident about himself and he doubts a lot about everything. In some point he evens gets tired of the society that surrounds him, just like any other teenager would behave.
“I just didn’t want to hang around any more. It made me too sad and lonesome.” p.51
Holden gets into fights, like normal teenagers do. He got into a fight with Stradlater for a girl he cared about.
“Anyway, the next thing I knew, I was on the goddam floor and he was sitting on my chest, with his face all red.” p.43
In conclusion, Holden is a typical teenager. He uses informal or vague language and does adult´s stuff. Holden also hates a lot people and gets into trouble.

1) QUOTE:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not live.
LYRICS
I see trees of green…….. red roses too
I see em bloom….. for me and for you
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue….. clouds of white
Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
MEANING:
The world is full of wonderful things everywhere. We need to appreciate what nature and God gives to us. Although we don’t realize nature is always around us and that is what makes the world so wonderful. Nature gives us the meaning of life and we don’t understand life until we pay attention to nature. We can be impressed by how amazing our environment is and what it can give to us.
2) Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
LYRICS:
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she doesn’t see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say
When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl, you’re amazing
Just the way you are
MEANING:
Everyone is unique and different on every aspect of life. We should not try to imitate or try to be like somebody else because we are amazing just the way you are. We should respect everyone beliefs, opinions, actions, and more because we are not the same. We should let everyone be who they truly are and respect them.
