EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: GERMANY WINS
Pretty much out of nowhere – apart from the homemade dance videos and a few attempts with the school band – Lena conquered the audience’s heart during the national German final for the Eurovision Song Contest. “I didn’t tell my friends about my first casting for the show, so there wouldn’t be any stupid comments if I got kicked out straight away,” she says, thinking of her terrible stage fright. Even though Lena danced regularly during her childhood – from Ballet to Jazz and Hip Hop – she made her way to music without piano lessons or vocal training. But she got her chance, grabbed it and developed rapidly. Directly after the German national final, her single Satellite went to the top of all national charts and stayed there for weeks. Lena even created a new German download record: never before had a song sold so well in such a short time!
50% jury impact
The winner was decided by a mixture of 50% televote and 50% jury. For this purpose, national juries consisting of five music industry professionals gathered in all 39 participating countries who ranked the songs in Eurovision Song Contest style, giving 12 points to their favourite song, 10 points to their second favourite, etc. The results of the five jury members were then added up and accounted for 50% of the country's votes. Those results were then combined with the televoting results.
The Spanish entry by Daniel Diges Algo Pequeñito (Something Tiny) was disturbed by a spectator jumping on the scene, so according to the rules, the song was performed again at the end.

As you know we are sharing our classes with an American assistant, Nichola, and to honour him, the English and the Spanish Language Department are organizing ” Hot dog day”for the “Semana Cultural". It will consist of selling hot dogs with ketchup, mustard, prickled onions and cheese.
They will only cost 1 € .
The 2º ESO (oral skill) students will be in charge of everything and they will do their best so that you can have a wonderful time eating and having fun. Of course the money we get, will be for their school trip.
It would be very nice of you if you could wear a cap.
We will be listening to American music and posters and American flags will be displayed .
We hope all the students can collaborate and take part on this “Hot dog day”.
So on the 12th of May at 11.15 pm we will meet and enjoy some delicious and tasteful pieces of hot dog.
Looking forward to meeting you there ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
