The BRIT School
Do you like acting? Do you enjoy dancing? Are you good at DJing or interested in writing? If you are, then maybe The BRIT School is the place for you. And if you'd like to be involved in the performing arts and technology school for fourteen-to-nineteen-olds.
Students at The BRIT School study normal school subjects, but they also learn about performing arts, media, and art and design. The school opened in 1991 and has its own professional theatre, dance studios, and TV and radio studios.
Most of the students at The BRIT School want to start a career in the performing arts. A lot of famous people went to this school and they're international stars. You can choose to study any area of the performing arts at the school, but it has become most famous for its musical successes.

El Gran Invento del Siglo XX
What's the greatest invention of the twentieth century?
The twentieth century was a time of big and important inventions. Personally, I think that the greatest invention is the phone, especially the mobile phone.
In the past, people didn't use to communicate as much, especially if they lived in different places. If a friend moved to another city or country, that was sometimes the end of the friendship. People used to write letters, but these often took a long time to arrive.
Nowadays, nearly everybody has got a phone. You can simply pick it up and text, send pictures, or speak to anybody anywhere. It's made business more efficient, and improved our social lives.
It's also made our lives safer because people can use the phone to call for help. For me, the phone is definitely the best invention because it's changed our lives so much. I think it's made life easier, safer, and more fun.
