LORDE 

The first thing you need to know about 16-year-old Ella Yelich- O'Connor, better know as Lorde, is that she is from New Zeland. This is important because Kiwis are among the most down-to-earth, unpretentious people you'll ever meet. They don't go big on the whole celebrity-adoration thing.
''I've had two of the biggest songs in the country and I can do exactly what I've always done, '' Lorde says: '' I can walk around, go parties with my friends, it's still relatively casual.''

Hi Júlia, 

We've been on holiday here in Italy for a month naw and I've just met this guy, Jordi. He's absolutely handsome and georgeous, but I'm not sure how I feel about him.

I need your advice. 

We met at a party last week and he invited me to a fizzy drink. We talked about music, cinema... and he filtred with me. When the party finished he invited me to go to his house this Saturday and both said goodbye. 

I've been thinking about all his a lot since then. I'll probably see him later, but 'm not sure about what to do it he asks me out. What do you reckon?

Esther. 

5. ABOUT ME AND MY VIEW OF THE WORLD

Spending my time...

My name is Esther and I'm student in Casa Nostra School in Banyoles. I'm interested in dancing. Some of my friends are into dancing too. 

The people who I spend most time with are my friends Júlia, Núria, Mireia, Helena and Laia and my family. The thing wich I like best is dancing at parties. 

I don't think that the world is a bad place, although I think we could improve if it we shared things more with me another. There aren't many things that make me angry, but one thing that annoys me is when people don't agree with me. 

I'm fairly optimistic about my own future though. In a few year's time, I see myself traveling around the world with a dance group.
