To Recieve, Yes... TRY

Capital letters because the initials make up the word try.

Our life is a continuous wheel, that never stops. Sometimes we are up; but then, we are down. At the beginning, we are strong. At the end, we are eroded. But our wheel will survive better, if we try. If we try, we can get a good mark in the school exam. If we try, we can learn to swim, or if we try, we can learn to play an instrument. Almost all can be got if we try.  
Watch this video I've made to introduce the post.


"Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame, where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned, but just because it burns, doesn't mean you're gonna die; you gotta get up and try"
P!nk, singer

As I've talked a bit about trying daily things, I'll talk more about "more serious" problems, which can modify our mood, and can become depression and others psychic illnesses. An example of a very common disease in developed countries is cancer. This illness scare only with its name, and in my opinion, the recovery is harder than the disease itself; but, although it's difficult, the secret is to try, to fight, and going on!

Another example: get over our fear to something. We get scared of dogs, for example. We have to try to get over it. In this case, for example, we'll need help of doctors (a psychologist, for example), but we shouldn't be embarrased about it!

Every moment is good to start again, to have fun, to get over our problems, to be better a person, to TRY. Of course, we will make mistakes sometimes, but remember: those who risk, those who try, are the ones that win.

What’s wrong if we are wrong? Always we will learn something, and we mustn’t be embarrassed about our mistakes!



Task:

1. TRY to find in the internet images about the meaning of try. Example.
2. TRY to open up with us. Can you tell a story in what you've tried something?
3. TRY to make a word game with a message of effort, hope or about someone who has reached the goal. (You can search it in Internet)
4. As some partners have requested in previous entries, search for a song that transmits a hope message, as Try, a song by P!nk (althought this song talks a bit more about love and maltreatment to women, it's an example. It's still a reason to try.)

It isn't compulsory to do the two activities (3 and 4). You can choose exercise one.

  1. In question number 2, if you don't want to tell us a story, don't worry. Tell us the story of other person: a celebrity, a cousin, etc.

  2. Hello class!!
    I want to say to Rafa that this is a very original post and it's very interesting because this isn't a theme which we talking all the days..

    1- This is my image:

    "TRY SOMETHING NEW"

    2- Yes, for example, last summer I want to be in shape and I trained every day and I achieve to be fit last summer. It seems a nonsense but it was important for me.

    3- "Improve with every move you make".

    4- This is a song that, probably, makes me happy and raises the spirits of me when I have a bad day or I am sad.

    "It's a beautiful daaaaay..."

    Goodbye class!

  3. Hello everybody!
    First, I want to say to Rafa that I love his post. You're right at all and this post help us to try try and try as you have said. I will always remember a sentence that a very good friend told me: ''If you try it, you can lose, but if you don't try it, you've alredy lost''
    So, congratulations Rafa!!!

    2. When I was young, I was scared of height and when I was 6 I got in a strange chair that hanging as a cable car... but finally it was a very funny experience.

    3. You have to try to do it,
    Or you never will do it.
    Usually, people that try it,
    Can get what they wanted.
    A small word that you can't
    Neither forgive or delete: TRY.

    4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZD9uM107s8 This song talks about love and the girl that sings it say that the only thing that she can do is: TRY.

  4. Hello everyone!

    This post is one of the best that I have read here in the blog! And the topic can´t be better! You have chosen a amazing topic! Congratulations Rafa! :D

    1)http://www.marketingguerrilla.es/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/lograr_objetivos_intentar.jpg

    2) When I was a child, I was scared of dogs and horror films.Now, when I go out with my friends and we see a dog, I don´t feel anything bad because I try to be calm when I see a dog. And if we go to watch an horror film, we laugh after the film and I´m not scared because I try to think that all the things that appear in films aren´t real

    3) " We only live once, so if you dont try new things or things that scare you, what is the meaning of your life? "

    4)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84Ocjvxl9Xg The song isn´t relate to try something but the video is perfect if you want to talk about TRY

    Bye!!:D

    2- A few years ago, I had scenic panic: my hands started to sweat, I began to shiver,... But when last year I went to Slovenia, I sang in a lot of concerts, so now, I don't have scenic panic!

    3- "If you do not trust yourself, who can you trust? beyond your fears and proves that you can too."

    4- I'll try, form Jesse McCartney.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHVNa6Lnqq0

  8. Hello!

    A VERY GOOD POST, RAFA, IT HAS OPEN MY HEART!

    1-http://hermano-jose.blogspot.com.es/2011/11/nina-sin-piernas-jugando-futbol.html

    This image tells us that if you want to do something, you only have to TRY because nothing is impossible.

    2-Yes, for example, last year, as you know, I wore braces and it was a bit difficult because i lose one tooth and I had a lot of strange things to look like if I have it, so it hurted a lot. In this year, I have decided that I wanted to be at the music band of Montoro, and on the first days it was a bit difficult because they play for more than two hours and my mouth was killing me, but I didn't give up because that was what I wanted and I was so happy there.

    3-"Even a start has an end, even the sky sometimes get black, even if you feel like if you're that end and that black sky, you have to try to be the end of a black sky."

    It's "I won't give up", I heard it some years ago, but it's still one of my favourites songs.

    3-To which may arise as possible. Must try again and again impossible.
