Reasons to believe......

Whenever we find ourselves in hard times it seems there is also a good reason to believe everything can be possible. Even though I don´t like to give more publicity to the coca cola company I have  to say I like this spot  because of its optimism.
This commercial has only been broadcast in some South American countries but  it is becoming quite famous  all over the world.
I think one the reasons of its recent popularity is the song they use to  convey  this positive  message.  The song is a version of "Whatever" ( played by Oasis) and in the spot the song is performed by the Young People´s Chorus from New York.

As long as you  are alive, you can do whatever you want....

 Here you have the original version by Oasis. I´ll show you an acoustic version and the official video clip.




I'm ___ to ___ whatever I, _____I   ____, and   I´____  ____ the blues ___  I ____.
I´m ____ to say whatever I, _____ I like , if it´s ____ or right it´s alright.
Always _____ to me,  You always see what people want you to see  ,___    ___ it´s gonna be
before we ___  ___ the bus,  And cause no ___,  Get a grip on yourself,  It don´t cost much. 
____ to be ________ you,  Whatever you ____,   If it ____  ___  ____it's alright

You're free to be ______ you,  _____ you ______,   You can shoot the _____ if you want

It always ______ to me,  You always see what people want you to ,  _____   _____   s it gonna be, Before we ____   ____the bus   And cause no ____,   Get a grip on yourself,  It don't cost much

 I'm ____ to be ______ I,  Whatever I _____,  And __   ____ the blues ____ I want , Here in my mind
You know you ____    _____,  _______   that you, you _____  you ___  knew ,  But now it´s all ____ And you know it's no fun,  Yeah I know it's no fun, Oh I know it's no fun

I'm _____ to be whatever I,  Whatever I _____, And I´ll sing the blues if I want

I'm free to be whatever I, Whatever I choose, And Í´ll sing the blues if I want
Whatever you do, Whatever you say, Yeah I know it´s alright ( x 2)


 More than half of Spain's young people are unemployed. How is the system failing us? How are families, communities and a country impacted? Is there any reaction?
It is often said we are lost generation because we don´t care anymore about improving our country or going on strike, fighting for our own rights because the meaning of everything is all blurred. Do you agree with this?
Watch this short video and then talk about it in the voicethread below . What´s your opinion about it? Do you feel this way? Is this a generation more worried with social networking than  real life?

GOOD WORK. Most of you have done a good presentation with very nice ideas and a good analyses of the video. It´s a pity that some of you keep reading instead of improvising a little bit more but in general it is ok. Thanks for your effort!!!!
