(Kristen Bell) Gossip Girl’s voice over:   …

 Our opinion:

 This series is really interesting because of the fact that the viewers can see a world that the other series don’t look at. In spite of the fact that the characters are rich, people can identify themselves to the characters. For the readers of the book series,  we think the TV adaptation is a new way to see the young New-Yorkers. Gossip Girl initially received mixed reviews, but for the New York Magazine, Gossip Girl is the  »Best. Show. Ever. ».

3. Valentine’s day

It is celebrated on  the 14th of Febuary each year. It is about love, love stories, etc… but about friendship too. Everyone gives a pink flower to his or herlover. In the Antiquity calendar, the 14th of February  is associated with fertility. The name « Valentine » comes from the name of three saints who are all called Valentine. The date is fixed on the14th of February and that’s why Valentine’s day is called like this.
