This is an article in the magazine SPEAK UP, number 192 of the year XVI. I have chosen this article because Starbucks Coffee is very famous for most of us. It's almost as famous as McDonalds. That's why the magazine says that it is the McDonalds of cappuccino. I love having something there. Delicious coffee and sandwiches are made there. I think that it is a really confortable place to spend the lunch time with your friends, or just to have a break to relax. Unfortunately, Starbucks Coffee is not in all over the world yet. It is just in big cities or shopping centers, so that's a roblem for people like us whi live in towns or villages. Coffee comes from Europe, but Americans try to americanize it. That's one of the challenges which Howard Schultz tries to reach. Starbucks started just in America, but it has been expanding over Europe. The initial stop on this European invasion is Zurich and Switzerland. Today Satarbuck has grown a lot. It has become a household name. Do you think that it could replace the European coffee? In my opinion, it has already done it, above all in countries like England or Germany where people who work hard have to take some fast-food for breakfast or lunch. You can see them with the coffe flass or food to take away. They are almost running in order not to be late at work in the morning. Is it a bad thing? Of course not! Nowadays, America is the most brilliant country in the world, so we are destined to live the American life.

I have chosen this article because I like the United Kingdom a lot. I was looking for something about it, and I found an article about Ireland, I didn't want to look for anything else then.
This article talks about the Blasket Islands, which are situated in the South of Ireland. The Great Blasket, the biggest of those islands, has been dishabited years ago. Lot of Irish people lived there until they had to move to the United States, exactly to Massachussetts. The reason of this is that life was hard, and they needed to look for a better way of life, so the last habitant of the island, finally abandoned it in 1953.
But nowadays the island receives a lot of tourists. Most of the people travel in Summer, to have a better experience with sun and good weather. There are a lot of activiteis there to do: you cant ravel by boat or ferry, to the different islands, you can visit different places, you can also see a dramatic grassy slpe, and enjoy with the different plants, green views, animals...

This is an article in the magazine SPEAK UP, number 315, year XXVII. I chose this article because Jennifer Lopez is my favourite singer and I read the title and the article, and I got surprised because the article was about the problems that Jennifer Lopez and her husband, the famous singer Marc had. They announced that they would separate after seven years together. I read that she said that It was a very difficult decision not only because she was married to him, another problem is that they had a couple of 3-years-old twins called Emme and Max.
Another thing that the article talks about is; Jennifer´s career. It talks about her career like a career from rags to riches. She was born in Puerto Rico and her parents immigrated to a tough neighbourhood in New York, and now she is an international celebrity with a successful film and recording career. Her seventh studio album is: LOVE? She was preparing the disco when she was a mother of twins. The album became with the different directions about ´the love´,and about some problems that she had.
