Lorde

Aged just 17, Lorde won two Grammy Awards -Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Perfomance- for her song "Royals". Lorde is from New Zeland. She loves to read and says reading encouraged her to write songs. She started composing songs with her guitar when she was only 13. Look out for Lorde!

Emma Watson

The magic continues

The actress spent years filming the eight Harry Potter films. Now she has turned the page...

Goodbye Hermione
After the Harry Potter films made her the world's most famous witch, Emma Watson wanted to show she had other talents. Her next big role, as a cool kid in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), was very different from the studious Hermione. The seven weeks Emma spent filming were the opportunity for her to be a normal teenager for the first time. "We'd just stay up all night playing guitar and running around the hotel", she says.

Designers love her elegance
Fashion is also a big part of Emma's life. Fans love her individual, elegant style and so do designers. She has been a model for brands like Burberry and Lancôme, and helped design her own range of clothes. But it is not easy to know what to wear when you're famous. "It's stressful knowing that every time you walk out the door, someone is going to be judging everything you wear", says Emma.

Intelligent star
Emma is not just beautiful... she has brains too! She has studied at Brown University, USA, and Oxford University, England, and loves to read and write poetry. She took a break from her studies to concentrate on her films, which is good news for her fans.

A private person
Emma loves making films but she does not like celebrity life. She is attached to her privacy, which is ironic because in the film The Bling Ring (2013), she plays a teenager who is obsessed with celebrities and breaks into their houses. It was a challenge for Emma to play a materialistic, narcissistic character so different to her!

Diverse new roles to play
This month Emma Watson is back in the biblical film Noah, where she plays Ila, Noah's adoptive daughter. It's a fantasy film with super CGI, but there's none of the innocence of Harry Potter or the glamous of The Bling Ring. It's another opportunity for Emma to show that she's one of Hollywood's most talented young actresses!

"My biggest challenge will be convincing people I can be someone else"

About Jennifer Lawrence

Writing:

Hi, my name is Elisenda and today I'm going to talk about Jennifer Lawrence. First I'm talking about her early life, then about her career. After that I'm explaining about the awards she has won. And finally about funny facts.

Jennifer Lawrence is an American actress. She was born in Louiseville, Kentucky in 1990. Her career started when she was only 14. She moved to LA and participated in many small movies like The Pocker House.

Her big break came when she played Ree in Winter's Bone, wich landed her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. Her most famous role is as Katniss Everdeen, in The Hunger Games.

Jennifer has won a lot of awards. In 2013 she won the Best Actress Oscar. And she’s also won two Golden Globes.

As a funny fact I’ll say that when Jennifer was collecting her Oscar award, she fell on the steps and said: “You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell”.

Thank you for your attention.

Writing:

On Friday morning I went running with my friends and we took a lot of beautiful pictures with the mobile phone. After that, I went to the hairdressing and had lunch. In the afternoon I went to the town's library and borrowed some films and CDs. At half past six I had a dance lesson. I spent the rest of the evening singing and playing the guitar with friends.

My 14th birthday was on Saturday. I spent the morning reading and preparing the afternoon picnic. My friends came home at four thirty. We went near the lake and spent the afternoon talking, eating, and taking photos. After that, we returned home and I unwrapped the beautiful presents they made for me. I had a very happy birthday with good friends.

A formal letter

Dear Sir or Madam

I am a professional cyclist from London, UK. The name of my cycling club is London Wheelers. I am writing to you because I am going to participate in a big cycling competition and I am looking for sponsors.

The competition will take place in May. Teams from 23 different countries and 20,000 spectators are going to be in London for this event, and I think that it will be good publicity for your company.

Please contact me if you are interested in sponsoring me or if you need any more information. I look forward to hearing from you.
