Who said it's too late to start a new career? DJ Ruth is 69 years old and she's rocking some of the most prestigious clubs in France. It all started one day when she went to her grandson's birthday party and the man at the door told her: "I don't think you want to go in there, madam"
"I'd rather think I do, because it's my grandson's birthday."- she answered. And she liked the music, (the noise,she says), the lights, the energy, the kids enjoying themselves...
Close to 70, do you think she should start thinking about hanging up her headphones? She's got a full schedule of gigs (and a lot of fun, I guess), so why should she?
I know, it's not really rock and roll, but she likes it.
Again, still another techno-tool to help you with your studies. This blog is "work-in-progress" , which means that things are added and removed on a regular basis. Here you'll find extra-reading, extra-listening, extra-grammar stuff, extra writing tips... extra-everything, so it's up to you what you do with it. Needless to say, your feedback, ideas, and comments are very welcome.

So you'd better start thinking what you want to do when you grow up!
I'd rather start thinking what I'm gonna do next year, it's work enough for me:
Actually my "growing up" time it's sooooooo far away!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you think so?

Hi, all of you. This is my first time I write on this blog but it doesn't mean I don't follow. It's pretty good exercice for practicing but it's always the same thing, not enough time. Anyway, I'd like you Mariona to confirm if I'd rather think I do means 'pienso que sí'. I doubt because in class we have been talking all the time that I'd rather means 'prefiero o preferiría' so.... I'm getting lost!
Thank you Mariona for this wonderful blog. It's very helpful.

"I'd rather think I do"=
I'd prefer to think ... I do want to go in there" - 'do' in this case refers to the previous sentence.
We talked about this in class yesterday and I think it's clear now, but pls keep asking if it's not.
