Uri - Hey, Willy, you look a bit down. What's the matter?

Willy - Oh, I've just heard that my sister has got a job in Manchester and he's moving away.

Uri - Oh, right. Sorry to hear that. It isn't the end of the world though.

Willy - I know, but I'm really going to miss him.

Uri - Don't take it too badly - at least he won't be very far away and you can visit him. Manchester's a really cool city.

Willy - That's true, I suppose.

Uri - Look at it this way - if he hadn't got that job, he'd have been really disappointed.

Willy - Yeah, maybe you're right.

Uri - Cheer up! Come on - let's go to a café or something.

Willy - OK. Thanks, Uri. I feel a bit better now.

Apologize for a misunderstanding.

Willy - Excuse me. Can I have a word with you?

Uri - No, I didn't.

Willy - Didn't you see the sign?

Uri - I'm afraid not.

Willy - Have you been here before to play football?

Uri - No, I live out of town.

Willy - Well, if I were you, I'd look for a different place.

Uri - OK. Sorry about that. I didn't realize.

Willy - That's OK. Remember for next time.

Chelsea FC - FCBarcelona. Semifinals UEFA Champions League 2012.

How can Chelsea beat Barcelona in the Champions League?

This is a good question that only people who know a lot of football can answer.
As we know, FCBarcelona is the best team of the world now and probably the best team of the history. Their game is incredible and few teams can win.

I thing the keys are: Focus, concentrate, communicate - and never lose sight of Messi. (BBC Sport)

We'll see today at 20:45. But we have to remember that is a double match to pass in the final. Im sure that it'll be a great match.

New vocabulary: uphill battle, off peace and facing.

Why is it relevant to you? Because Ferrari always has been an important brand in the world of F1 and now it has many problems.

Writing about a decade.

The decade from 2000 to 2010 was a decade which people remember for many reasons. There were difficult times for the big crisis that it continues now and for many wars that took place in African countries, for example in Libya. There were also good times and happy events and a lot of music festivals.
Steve Jobs invented a now brand of gadgets in apple. It was a great success and now a lot of people have an Iphone or an Imac or something of this brand.
In the world of music, now there are a lot of famous singers, not like before that there were three of four famous bands of music.
In cinemas, there were a lot of changes. The pixels ofthe TV are better, now you can watch films in 3D, the films are more real...
By the end of the decade the world was different. The technology is more sophisticated, it's incredible! But by the end of the decade a big crisis appeared around the world and it continues now. It's an important bad success for everybody and we must do everything to change this.

FINAL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LONDON 2011. BARÇA 3 - 1 MAN UTD

Barcelona gave us a hiding, says Man Utd boss Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson labelled Barcelona "the best team I have faced" after his side's 3-1 defeat in the Champions League final.

The Spanish club put on a stunning display of passing, movement and clinical finishing at Wembley to lift the European Cup for the fourth time.

Wayne Rooney equalised after Pedro scored, but goals from Lionel Messi and David Villa left United well beaten.

"They play the right way and they enjoy their football. They do mesmerise you with their passing and we never really did control Messi. But many people have said that.

Barcelona's victory was their second triumph in the Champions League in three years - and their third in six seasons.

Ferguson admitted that Barcelona would be difficult to beat so long as their star players Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez remained in their ranks.

"It's always difficult to say whether you'll be able to replace players like Xavi and Iniesta at a certain point. Probably not. But they are enjoying the moment and they deserve to because they play football the right way."

"Every time Messi gets the ball he knows Xavi is going to be there, Pedro is going to be there, or Iniesta. "It was very difficult, Barcelona keep the ball really well."
