The song above is my favourite right now. I'm sorta obsessed with the greatest showman soundtrack and I really want to watch the film. Enjoy

After swimming the yesterday I just chilled in bed watching videos on YouTube. Mum told me to rest my voice for Choir practice in church so that's what I decided to do plus I had a sore throat which was never good, I suffer from tonsillitis and Laringitis so I was hoping not to get either of them this time. I had my laptop set up with the Sacconejoly recent Vlog playing while I had piles of homework scattered across my bed.

"Hit the poo poo button" eduardo's voice speak in the Vlog which made me giggle, him and Emilia are the cutest. I had always wanted a baby brother or Sister but Mum only wanted one child I guess. I sighed to myself as I struggled with my French homework. It was our hobbies and family and I had no idea what any of it meant. I stare at the sheet of paper in front of me as I read over it again 'translate French to English Hobbies and Family, then once complete write a whole paragraph on your family and what you like to do. Must be over half a Page long' I've probably read the description on what to do over three time and Still I haven't got anywhere. I soon decided I would go and ask Mum, she probably wouldn't be able to help much but you never know she might do. I climbed from my bed and wrapped my dressing gown around me before picking up my French homework and my French homework book before I made my way out of my room and down the stairs

"Mum could you help me with my French homework please" I asked Mum who had just made herself a coffee in the kitchen.

"I'll try to, if not we will just turn to google" Mum looks at me and makes me laugh, this always happens, I ask for mums help with language homework and we always end up using google translate, it's for me good grades but I still don't understand French. It means nothing to me. Mum took one look at the sheet of paper and got her laptop from the counter and placing it onto the table

"So you have 8 hobbies you need to match with the English version of the French" Mum asked me making sure that was correct as she read the sheet of paper for a second time. Myself and Mum typed the English version into google translate and up popped the French.

'dansant - Dancing
Patinage sur glace - Ice-Skating
la natation - swimming
écouter de la musique - listening to music
en chantant - singing
faire du vélo - riding a bike
Fonctionnement - running
Football - football'

I drew a line between the French and English of each word in a different colour so it stuck out. After the Hobbies half of the paper I moved on to the family.

'Mère - Mother
maman - mum
père - Father
papa - Dad
sœur - Sister
frère - Brother
tante - aunt
copains - Friends
les cousins - cousins'

Once again I drew a line towards the correct answers in different colours as I finished of matching the words together. All I had to do now for French was to write the paragraph about my family and hobbies. I could do that after choir practice.

"I'm going to go do my maths homework before getting ready for Choir practice" I explained to mum as I thanked her for helping me and stood up from the kitchen table. I kissed mums cheek before I made my way through to the stairs. Once I was back in my room I climbed back under my covers and went back onto YouTube where i put some songs on, I put the Greatest Showman songs on because it's meant to be an amazing film which I so desperately want to watch; the songs were just amazing and to me they were catching.
