URBAN LEGENDS .

An urban legend is a tale of comtemporary folklore  that purports  to be true and is often designed to elicit an emotional response from the audience .  These stories  allegued to be true and just plausible enough  to be believed , about some horrific ,ironic or exasperating series of events that supposedly happened to a real person.


From my childhood I  have heard of witches they are old deformed women ,perverse and night dwellers ,they do fly on brooms in this form they can fly closer to houses with loud screaming sounds.People say that the witches will suck the blood of the children either from  the navel or the big toe .

Mastering the  law of gravity

Talk about karate movies is so exciting for me. I love that kind of movie. I like it.
When you are watching some of these movies you can’t turn around. For me one of the best is Jackie Chan, in fact, he is famous worldwide. And second place but not less important is Jet Li.
Jackie is a star. I had seen all his movies many times. Rush Hour and Changhai Noon are two of my favorites. I like him because he is so authentic and when he has a project or he is working in some action film he not uses stunts. He does the dangerous scene himself.

Here some of his greatest movies:
·         The spy
·         Chinese zodiac
·         Who am i?
·         Police story
·         Skiptrace
·         Rumble in the Bronx
·         The forbidden kingdom and many others.
By the way, the best part of his movies for me you can find it at the end of the film. When he makes it bad he laughs himself. Therefore, I really like him.
Thoroughly, the master was Bruce Lee, but not my favorite.
Let me conclude with this, his last movie was Dragon Blade a historical action film.

Unit-2 Urban Legends

Once you must have heard an urban legend. Because that is part of the life, there are stories so difficult to believe. In fact, true or false the Urban Legends exist.

Through my short existence, i had heard a lot of eerie histories, some gruesome stories and others not at all. One of those legends was about a man who saw a woman walking on the street and decided to carry on, but with the girl. All the lane, he had been talking with her,  but she hadn't been answering him. Soon he notices something strange with her, then the lady disappeared.  Immediately, the man blacked out,  some hour ago when he came to he was at his home and good. So  Can you imagine that scene? How could  goes he at home? or Who...?

In addiction, i don't know how that could had happened or whether he have told trustworthy... The recipients  could have thought that this legend was invented. Couldn't  you?

My Expectances of Cars in the Far Future

We human beings have made an unarguably progress on mode of transport, especially on the land one. We have passed from horses and carriages to mechanical and electrical vehicles. And all of this makes me wonder: What will happen in the far future? Will cars fly? Won't cars need a driver?

When thinking about groundbreaking cars features, these are the first ones that come to my mind:

• Hovering:  I think cars will hover around 20cm off the road. To make this possible, the car might be made of  a hard and non-heavy material. 
• No driver: Currently there are some companies, such as Google, that are testing their taxies with no drivers. These taxies will be always connected to the cloud, getting information about the traffic and the streets, and the weather. Of course, GPS will be included.
• Electric motors: There are already vehicles that work with electric motors, like high-speed rails and e-bikes. There will be as many electric stations as gas stations are currently.
• No buttons: Cars will carry a computer with voice command device that will allow people to give orders like lock and unlock the door, turn or off the radio, etcetera. The car computer will interact with its owner. 

 

Mastering the law of gravity

Nowadays, almost everyone gets entertained with a huge variety of elements that can be found in the field of visual entertainment. Movies for instance, play an important role in such recalled and popular way to have fun. Who has not been amazed for the tricks and acrobatics some of the popular performers do in the big or small screen.

For some people, watching their favorite actors hike a mountain with a single jump make them feel astonished. they even pay an expensive ticket to see them while the movie or show is being recorded.

However, many get disappointed for the terrible  fact that many of those tricks are not real. In very popular action movies, like many movies where the famous Hollywood star Jackie Chan appears, there is a significant display of movements that could hardly be done without some help.

Movie directors use technology to obtain those great tricks we all love to watch. 

On the other hand, when directors do not want to use technology, actors could easily get seriously injured, as it had happened to the previously mentioned star.

So, the next time you watch your favorite action movie think of the consequences and the risk actors are exposed to while filming. Being an actor is not piece of cake.
