Advice About two days ago, I studied a little because I met with my boyfriend to study, but finally we didn´t. When I arrived home I thought I know it but next day in the exam, I felt nervous and I did very bad. When the teacher had correct it he gave us test and I failled with 2. I didn´t know what can I do, tell my parents about the exam but they will punish me because they´re very stric, say lie or don´t say anything. What advice do you recommend me?
Well, I think It´s better tell your parents the truth because if your professor tells your parents the exam, it will be worse. In my opinion you will be honest with them or you can say that the class falled too, the second option will tell that the teacher has it in for you. I hope my advices will help you!
Musician or musicians that I enjoy listening to:
Gemeliers Gemeliers are a Spanish duet composed of two brothers, Jesus Oviedo and Daniel Oviedo. They especially sing Spanish pop, Latin pop and ballad songs. They became famous thanks to a Spanish singing competition on TV "La voz Kids" in 2014 and actually, they are international singers who are known almost throughout the world. They started in the television when they were 4 years old in the program "Menuda Noche" in Canal Sur Televisión presented by Juan y Medio. After that, they took part in the programme "Quiero cantar" in Antena 3 when they were 10 and finally they went to "La Voz Kids". In 2009 they released their first disc named "2 mejor que 1", that was famous in Andalucia. On the 26th of March 2014, they released their second disc called "Lo mejor está por venir" and in 2015 their third disc named "Mil y unas noches". All their songs communicate particularly teenagers love stories. Gemeliers fans are called "gemeliers" and they are a lot of. When they play a concert they sale all of the tickets and for that reason you have to take the tickets two months before. In the concerts, they start singing "yo no me doy por vencido" because that was the song they sang in "La Voz Kids" and then they sing all of the songs of the disc, actually "Mil y unas noches". They, even, released two books. The first was "Juntos por una ilusión" in 2014 and the second "Mil y una historias por vivir" in 2015. I think their songs are beautiful, their books are very interesting and their fans and concerts are fantastic.
