ResponderEliminarThe adjective that comes from craze is crazed. The opposite of take off in that context could be remain. The verb that comes from hopper is to hop. An animal based in hopper is the grasshopper which is a plant-eating insect that has long legs used for jumping. I think that a herd mentality person is a person who is influenced by his peers to adopt certain behaviors.
George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer who rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham!, it was formed by George and Andrew Ridgeley. The duo tasted instant success with their 1983 debut album Fantastic becoming UK number one and producing a string of hit singles.

ResponderEliminarFor a start, I am going to write about George Michael. He was an English famous pop singer, songwriter and producer. During his career he won lots of prizes. He was born on 25th June 1963 and he died on 25th December 2016 with only 53 years the same day as Christmas, it is such a pity. It is said that he died because of a cardiac failure while he was sleeping.
ResponderEliminarHis musical career and even his lifestyle was marked by sex and drugs, he also declared that he was homosexual. At first he started a group with a childhood friend and they sang together in a pop group called Wham! Careless Whisper was his very first single like soloist, which was a hit. A documental called Different Story, done in 2005, tells his personal life and his career.
I am not fond of him, but I really like one of his songs, it is Careless Whisper. I think that it is an incredible song to dance with someone special, together and slowly. Romantic stuff!
On the contrary, talking about word formation the adjective that comes from craze is crazy. The verb that comes from hopper is to hop. Based on this word we have both grasshopper, which is an insect and Grasshopper Club Zürich, a Swiss football team.

Pets are those that live with people and are domesticated.
ResponderEliminarThere is a great variety of domestic animals, those that live on farms and those that live at home with humans, these are called companions or pets, they are dogs, cats, birds, turtles... The pets will be personalized almost in family members, for example cats or dogs are effective animals. They are animals that you play with, you give them your attention and you pamper them, they are animals that are treated like one of the family. There are people who live alone and having one of these animals living with them does not make them feel alone, in addition they give love, entertain and endear themselves a lot. Having a domestic bird is also very common, in many homes there is a bird that brightens the day with its pleasant song, I have one. My father has a dovecote with many pigeons. I would like to have a dog because he is man's best friend, since I was a child I have always wanted it but my mother says that there is enough to have pigeons.
