Guns N' Roses, by Alejandra Ros Iñiguez (2º A ESO)

Guns N 'Roses is an American hard rock band formed in Hollywood, Los Angeles (California) in 1985. The band has sold over 120 million albums worldwide, including over 55.5 million albums in the United States. Its members are Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (lead guitar), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) and Steven Adler (drums). They have released 6 studio albums and among his best known songs are: Sweet Child of Mine, November Rain, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Estranged, Don’t Cry, Civil War, Night Train, Rocket Queen and Knockin’ on Heaven's Door.

After their first album, they became very famous and won a lot of awards like the American Music Awards, Grammy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and World Music Awards. Today they are considered one of the most important bands in the history of rock music. In fact, they entered the Rock Hall of Fame in 2012.

Their most important and successful albums were Appetite for Destruction (1987), which sold around 30 million copies, and their amazing double album Use Your Illusion I and II (1991), which sold 17 and 18 million copies each.
In 1992 Guns N' Roses gave their most crowded live concert ever in Bogota (Colombia), with over 50,000 people. At that time they were real rock idols. However, Axl Rose wanted to do the band commercial and Slash didn’t like the idea so they started having strong arguments. Their disagreement was the end of Guns N’ Roses. Most members left the band leaving Axl Rose alone. Slash and other members (Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum) would form a new band called Velvet Revolver, but they never were as successful and popular as Guns N’ Roses.

My favourite Guns N' Roses song is Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door because I listened it for the first time when I was 3 years and basically I grew up listening to that song. Every song touches a nerve and I just love their music.

Living in Doha (Qatar), by Lydia López Ruiz

You never know what the future may hold but, for me and my family, living in Doha has been a really exciting, awesome and unique experience so far.

As you know, Doha is the capital city of Qatar, a country in the Arabian Peninsula, mostly surrounded by the Persian Gulf. For a long time Qatar´s economy was based on fishing, pearl diving and camel breeding until the discovery of oil and gas in the twentieth century. Nowadays Qatar has the world’s third largest natural gas reserves and has become the world´s richest country per capita. So imagine the standard of living in Doha. Here you can see the best cars in the world: Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, Rolls Royce, Breitling…only to mention a few of them. Young people like to drive these cars very fast. However, this is becoming very dangerous as it is causing a lot of  road accidents.

Spaniards living in Doha say there is not much to do here, but I don´t really think so. Doha hosts the best cultural events and is also the home for the most recognisable sports world championships. Qatar Motorcycle Grand Prix , for example, is held here every year.

Although almost every ancient construction has been demolished, there are still some old forts and ruins you can visit, as well as a series of world-class museums that house some of the world’s finest art collections: the Museum of Islamic Art, the Mathaf and the Qatar National Museum, which have been designed by worldwide famous architects. Moreover, if you want to go shopping, Qatar’s traditional local markets, known as souqs, are fantastic, particularly Souq Waqif. Bargaining is essential when you buy there.

 The Pearl is a very quiet place to live in.  It´s the only place in Doha where you can have a walk and be outdoors. But if you want to have a fascinating experience, you should take a desert safari that will let you admire the beautiful landscape of sand dunes where the Inland Sea meets the desert. An amazing sight not to miss!

But there is no doubt that the most impressive thing that you see when you arrive in Doha is its skyline, West Bay; even more if you arrive at night. This is a symbol of identity. It seems you are in an American city. In fact, almost everything in Doha is made in the American way. You have the best malls, restaurants, hotels, shops, jeweller´s, cars, everything in a large scale.

In spite of some disadvantages like the extreme heat and the traffic jams, I consider Doha has more positive than negative things and for me it is being a really constructive experience: my daughter has to speak English all the time, she has friends from Qatar and many other countries around the world, which has allowed her to know other ways of thinking. I have had the opportunity of learning some Arabic (only a little spoken Arabic) and of meeting people from different nationalities. I have made new friends as well, some of them very good friends. And the best of all is that all the family have been together. This is essential, it is the most important thing.

See you  soon!

Union Jack: the British Flag

The Union Flag, popularly known as the Union Jack, is the national flag of the United Kingdom. Therefore it is the official British flag for a kingdom formed by four different countries: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

It is called the Union Flag because it symbolises the administrative union of these four countries under the same sovereign. The flag is the sum and combination of the individual flags of three of the Kingdom's countries. The flags that were combined to create The Union Jack were:

- England: represented by the heraldic cross of St. George. This flag, a red cross on a white ground, was introduced by king Richard I in 1194. It is still the flag of England as a single country.

- Scotland: represented by the heraldic cross of St. Andrew, a diagonal white cross on a blue field. In 1603, King James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne after Queen Elizabeth's death, becoming the new King of England as well (James I). In other words, he was the King of two rival kingdoms. But only a year later, James I combined both his thrones into a united kingdom of "Great Britain". In 1606, after hard political disputes, the new flag was created by unifying the English and Scottish flags in the so called "first Union flag".

-Ireland: represented by the heraldic cross of St. Patrick, a diagonal red cross on a white ground. In 1801 Ireland joined the United Kigndom and the creation of a new flag was necessary. It was then that the present British flag was designed. 

* Wales is the fourth country in the United Kingdom, but since it is a Principality, not a kingdom, it could not be included on the flag. Its flag is represented by a red dragon on a green and white field.

And finally, Ireland. Here is its flag. Since 1921, only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom. The rest of the island belongs to the Republic of Ireland, an independent country with a completely different flag (green, white and orange). Remember that the two Irelands are different countries and historically bitter rivals.
