2. ACCOUNT OF A DECADE


In the years 2000-2010 there was a decade which people remember for many reasons.

There were good times and happy events such as music festivals the pop, soul, latin music...
But to there were also difficult times, for instance, the crisis.

In the world of music, there were a lot of artists, but I'd highlight Beyoncé she's the best for me.

It was the fashion of pants wide, typical of hip-hop and rap.
And there were "gothic" people , typical of the punks groups.

The inventions in this decade were, for example, the youtube, wikipedia and nintendo wii, etc.


By the end of the Decade, the most memorable discovering for me was the Ipod and Youtube.

Halloween handiscrafts


Make different disguises for these lollipops to give out to your friends on Halloween and then decorate your house with some spooky jars!


The vampire lollipops: For the cape or the collar, cut out shapes like these in a foam sheet. Use pipe cleaners to hold the cape or the collar to the lollipop stick.

The spider lollipops: For the spider's legs, place the lollipop stick in the centre of a pipe cleaner and wrap the pipe cleaner around the stick. Repeat this 3 times. Then shape the spider's legs.

The ghost lollipops: The lollipop is hidden under the white tissue paper. The black pipe cleaner is used to form the neck of the ghost.


The first Rolls-Royce

The Rolls-Royce 10-HP was created in 1904. It had big, brass headlamps, wooden wheels and a horn that looked like a musical instrument. The car's top speed was 63 km/h and only seventeen were made. Today only four of these cars exist-their value is € 5.5 million!









Royal cars
In 1950, Rolls-Royce supplied the British royal family with their first car, Phantom IV. It was created specially for royalty and heads of sstate, and is one of the most distinctive cars in the world.


Kristen Stewart

She earned more than any other actress in 2012, but there is still a big question mark over Stewart's post-Twilight career. Once the hysteria about Bella and Edward is forgotten, will people still want to see her films?
