Our passions



In today's post we're going to talk about something we like.
In fact we have got a great consideration about our culture and traditions wich, unluckily, are getting lost with the new generetions.
Sardinian language, for example, isn't a dialect such as the ones in the other parts of Italy, it is the most conservative of the Romance languages most of all about phonology.
Nowdays this language is being influenced by italian and the risk is to lose the true gramatical structures and words. I think that we should keep being spoken because it rapresents our identity as Sardinian people, I sincerly don't understan people that are ashamed to speak this language, and I find them even a bit ridicoulous because I've never seen an Italian ashamed to speak italian or a Spanish ashemed to speak spanish. I think that bilingualism Italian-Sardinian is a good things for us all! Even the Government reconizes this language and now we have the L.S.C. (limba sarda comuna) Common Sardinian Language, or rather a mixture of local variants of sardinian, a sort of universal sardinian understandable by all the sardinian population, used to make,for example documents and lwas, in sardinian.
Our suggestion is to keep speaking sardinian and keep our traditions alive, because in our traditions our identity lives.
I have also got a lot of passions like reading, watching tv, using computer, practing some sports, listening to music, dancing...But my real passions is volleyball. I love this sport and I'm very upset that this year I didn't have the possibility to practise this sport. Infact I have played volleyball since I was 7 years old. While you are playing you manages to forget everything that everyday you must rembemer, things like: job, homework... With this game you can pour out! Moreover it's a game founded on trust and so you have to learn to trust your playmates. So volleyball, like the other sports, beyond to be funny, is instructive too.
Another thing, that I like to do, is to stay with our friends!. When we are with them all our problems disappears because we think only to have a good time togheter. I think that to have a friend with you can talk and confide everything, it's a good way to get over a bed period of our life. The friends are precious like a diamonds and like a diamonds they must be kept with care.

Speak

Speak is a 2004 american movie based on the homonymous novel by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's a drama film focused on Melinda Sordino the main character, an unspeaking, depressed, confused and lonely girl.
She's a freshman and the new academic year doesn' start really good for her: people make fun of Melinda calling her "squealer" because she called the police during a summer party after being raped by Andy Evans.
The film begins with the young girl drawing on her face like a stitching on her mouth, she obvouisly looks disturbed, but that's because she refuses to tell anyone what happened.
This being mute increases the break between her and the others, family and friends.
She cannot get good results at school , but she gets on with her Art Teacher Mr. Freeman.
She grows up and she finds the courage to tell her ex-bestfriend (Rachel) what happened but she didn't believe her when she named her raper Andy Evans, who's at the moment Rachel's boyfriend).
Afterwards Rachel figured out that Melinda spoke the truth.
In the blink of an eye all the school knows the truth, melinda refinds the courage she left that hateful night at the summer party and restart living.
