Hi, guys! I’m writing to you on this rainy Sunday. I need to keep you updated about yesterday. Last week, as you know, my classmates and I had to hand in a report about our routine. Well, it seems the school nutritionist, Ms. Sullivan, is not very happy about our eating habits. As a consequence, Mr. Adams, our teacher, talked to us about these and some other habits, and it turns out that we are not only unhealthy, but also a little too dependent on technology, so he set us a challenge. And guess what? He challenged us to spend our Saturday with no gadgets at all! No computer, no mobile phones, no internet, nothing! I have to write about it here!

My first thought was: I’m going to nail this! Mr. Adams won’t beat me! Am I right?

She could live without technology, but she hated the experience.

To start with, it was hard not to take my Saturday selfies. I always write about my day, and not having a picture to post here seems useless. I have to take pictures! How can you get to know me without my selfies? I also couldn’t keep track of my friends’ feeds on Facebook, and I couldn't talk to them to decide where to go at the weekend, so I had to stay at home! And, what’s worse, I had to help my mum with the housework! It was a tough challenge, Mr. Adams!

Ending B She could live without technology and she enjoyed it.

I started to think about how some communities manage to live without technology, because it’s so helpful. At first, I was a bit bored because I had nothing to do. Then I decided to go out to make the time pass faster. I went for a walk and got to the park. I played volleyball with some girls there. I made friends and it was so much fun! We even arranged a picnic for next Saturday! Well, I used to think I couldn’t live without my gadgets, but I think I was wrong!

7th January is a very special day for two reasons. First, it’s the birthday of my amazing nanny (we’re not allowed to call her granny; she hates that). She’s 79 years young! Second, a year ago, I acted very impulsively. But what I did changed my world.I was on holiday in Hawaii with my parents and grandparents. In our hotel, my dad had seen Sir Elton John in the lift, and despite loitering in the hotel lobby like a stalker for 24 hours, I didn’t see him!The next morning, I spotted his husband, David Furnish, sitting on the other side of the restaurant with some friends, having breakfast. This was it, I thought. I’ll never forget what my mum said when I asked what she thought of me approaching him with a CD and letter to pass on to Sir Elton. “Well, if you don’t ask, you don’t get, Tallia.”His reaction was amazing and he was so nice. He asked all about my music, what style I sang, where I was from, and he promised to pass it on. Done – that was it. I could do no more.We left the hotel and flew home via San Francisco. We were going through security and my phone rang. It was the call that changed my world. Sir Elton John invited me to open his concert in Scotland on 10th June 2012, and told me he thought I had one of the best soul voices he had heard in years! So there you have it. 7th January is a day of blessings; it’s a new year for me, it’s my nanny’s birthday, and it’s the day my world changed.
