A SOUTH KOREAN SINGER DIED

The 18th of December, Jonghyun, a K-pop singer that was part of the most famous group in Asia SHINee, died in his apartment in Seoul, South Korea.

These days he was celebrating the end of his solo tour when he returned to his depression. He explained: “The depression that gradually corroded me, eventually devoured me. I could not overcome it.”

He was only 27 years old and at 4pm, he decided to text his sister. In the messages he said: “It has been very difficult. Let me go. Tell me I did my best. This is my last goodbye.” When his sister was aware of the meaning of the message, she called the police to say that her brother was maybe going to kill himself. But when they found him, he was already dead.

All the fans of the group were really sad and they went to the hospital where Jonghyun was.

The family, his friends and the members of the group will hold the funeral the next day and they will read some words that Jonghyun said in a letter before killing himself.

In my opinion, mental illnesses are right now a real problem in our society. Around 40% of the teenagers and the youth think that they won’t be able to do anything in their life. A lot of people don’t love themselves and that’s the main reason of all the suicides. If you need some help, don’t be afraid of asking for help but never keep your pain inside. Remember, that you are never alone, you are always important to someone.

THE TALLEST MAN OF THE WORLD

Hello, today we are going to talk about the record Guinness of the tallest man of the world.

His name is Patrick and he was born in Canada. When he was a child he was very big, but his parents thought that it was only a tall child. When he was 15 years old, his parents started thinking that it wasn’t normal. They decided to bring him to the doctor. There, he told them that Patrick had an illness. He wouldn’t stop growing up until he dies. This illness couldn’t be treated. In that moment, he was 1.87 meters. At school, although he was a very good student and very intelligent, with the pass of the years he started being more insecure about himself and then his schoolmates started to bully him. This affected his marks a lot and his parents decided to bring him to a special school. There, he had a lot of friends and he was an excellent student. He was very happy but when he was 18, he realized that he had to learn to live in a more real life. For this reason, he decided to enter to the University. A few years later, he had a brilliant idea. He started to research how many people had this illness. He saw that there weren’t many affected so he submitted to the Record Guiness. He was 2.53 meters and he won the contest. He received a lot of euros and those ones were destined to research for a solution to this illness.

Today, Patrick is 67 years old and he is 4.17 meters high. He has to move in a wheelchair because he has lost his balance but the research has been very good and now there is a medicine to treat it.

GASTRONOMY

THE TYPICAL CATALAN FOOD

Today, we want to talk about the Catalan gastronomy, we think Catalan people have really good food like sausages. But we are going to talk about another recipe, “pà amb tomàquet”.

What ingredients de we need?

It is a really easy recipe and we just need a few ingredients.

• Bread
• Tomatoes
• Oil

How to do it?

First of all, we have to cut the bread in very thin slices. After that we cut the tomato in two parts and we extend it all on the bread. We add the oil (you can add some salt if you want to) and we have finished!

It is a very simple recipe, and it is very fast to do too, and we can promise you, you will love it!
