Adele, a singer who touches millions
Through moving songs such as “Someone Like You,”  Adele has shown the world that you can be successful without wearing extravagant outfits [1] or doing sexy dances

Adele had a fabulous 2011. Her second album, “21”, was the biggest-seller in the UK and in several other countries last year. The album includes two of the biggest hits of 2011: “Someone Like You,” and “Rolling in the Deep.” In November, Adele had surgery on her vocal cords. To recover fully from the surgery [2], she will have to go a few months without singing. Adele does not wear extravagant outfits or do sexy dance routines at her shows. She has won over the world through her ​​beautiful voice and her emotional interpretations. Adele tends to write songs about heartbreak [3]. In 2008 she released her first album, “19”, when she met the love of her life. In 2009, however, she was abandoned by the man she loved. Adele used music as her therapy and composed several songs ‘inspired’ by the end of her relationship. “Someone Like You” is one. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born in Tottenham, in London, on May 5, 1988. Her mother, Penny Adkins, was left by her boyfriend during the pregnancy and had to raise [4] her only daughter alone.

Williams Confirms Bruno Senna for 2012

Source: http://www.maganews.com.br/

Williams F1 today confirmed that Bruno Senna will contest the 2012 FIA Formula One World Championship for the Williams F1 Team. Bruno will make his debut with the Williams F1 Team in Jerez on 9th February at the first of the winter tests

Frank Williams, Team Principal, said, “Bruno only started racing when he was 20 years old but quickly proved his talent in F3 and GP2.”  Bruno commented, “I feel very privileged that Williams has selected me as one of their race drivers. The team has a great heritage and I hope I can help write a good chapter in their history. The evaluation process has been intense and methodical but the time I have spent in the factory has demonstrated that the team has great people and all the resources needed to achieve better things this season.
“It will be very interesting to drive for a team that my uncle has driven for, particularly as quite a few of the people here actually worked with Ayrton. Hopefully we can bring back some memories and create some great new ones too. I also want to get some good results in return for the support my country has given me to help get me to this position today. I am very proud to be Brazilian and more motivated than ever to demonstrate what I can do. Ever since I first sat in a go-kart I never wanted to do anything else.”

A profile of Bruno Senna

Born in São Paulo in 1983, Bruno Senna showed talent from an early age when he raced karts against his uncle, Ayrton, on the family farm. However, Bruno was a relative latecomer to professional motorsport, not making his competitive race debut until 2004 in the Formula BMW UK Championship at the age of 20. Since then he has made an impressive rise through the ranks to make his Formula One debut in 2010.
In 2005 Bruno began the first of two seasons competing in the British F3 Championship with Räikkönen Robertson Racing. After picking up three podiums in the final races of 2005, Bruno went on to take five victories en route to securing third in the 2006 Championship.
In 2007, Bruno graduated to GP2 with Arden International. He finished fourth on his debut in Bahrain and scored his first win in the feature race in Spain at the following event. He signed for iSport International in 2008 and claimed his first win of the season in the Monaco feature race. In total, Bruno claimed two wins, six podiums and three pole positions, narrowly missing out on the title.
Bruno had his first taste of Formula One in 2008 when he took part in a one day test for Honda. However, when the manufacturer decided to pull out of the sport, Bruno switched his attentions to sports car racing. In 2009 he took part in three Le Mans Series races (claiming podium finishes in two of them) and also had the opportunity to compete in the famous Le Mans 24 Hours. This proved a useful stepping stone in his career as Bruno joined the newly formed Hispania Racing team for his Formula One race debut in 2010.
Bruno started the 2011 season as official reserve driver for Lotus Renault GP. He competed in eight races after replacing Nick Heidfeld from the Belgium Grand Prix onwards, qualifying seventh for his first race. After qualifying within the top ten once again in Monza, Bruno secured his first Formula One points with a ninth place finish.
Bruno joins Pastor Maldonado at Williams F1 for the 2012 FIA Formula One World Championship season starting in Australia on the 18th March.

Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions include a very important word –heart.

We will try to get to the heart of the matter to better understand the most important things about words and their stories. So take heart. Have no fear about learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a heavy heart. Such feelings of sadness would onlybreak my heart, or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.

Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having a heart to heart discussion. I might speak from the bottom of my heart, or say things honestly and truthfully. I might evenopen up my heart to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with all my heart, or with great feeling.

When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she wears her heart on her sleeve, or on her clothing. Her emotions are not protected.

If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s heart is in the right place. For example, I would know that you are a kind-hearted and well-meaning person. And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have a heart of gold. However, you might have a change of heart based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to change the way you feel about something.

But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a heart of stone. And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my heart might stand still or skip a beat.

Yet, even though you may be angry, I would know that at heart, you are a kind person. In reality, you do care. And any argument between us would not cause me to lose heart or feel a sense of loss.

My heart goes out to anyone who loses a friend over an argument. It really is a sad situation, and I feel sympathy for the people involved.

I promise that what I have told you today is true – cross my heart.

I really wanted to play some music at the end of this feature. In fact, I had my heart set on it. So here it is, “Don’t Go Breaking my Heart” by Elton John.
