CarnivaL!!

First of all, I want to talk about our Carnival and the things that me and my friends do during this festival.

For me, Carnival is one of most enjoyable parties because everybody can go.
My friends and I dressed as painters. The first impression of our dress was quite bad because we thought that people wouldn’t agree with us.
But after, when we arranged to meet some friends, we looked good!
The worst thing about this Carnival was that we didn’t have a float to take drinks or food and to listen to the music that we wanted.
I went to Roses, St.Pere Pescador, Empuriabrava and Castelló, these are towns, that are near mine.

Secondly, I want to talk about the other Carnival festivals different from ours, for example, the Carnival of Venice.

The Carnival of Venice started in the 17 century, when nobility mask theirselves and they mingled with the population. They always wore masks.

The festival lasted 10 days. At night they went to dance and they had a procession around the city.

Personally, I think that this, is an original festival different from our Carnival.

My next holiday.. =)

On Christmas Day, I know that I’ll go on Holiday because I read an article in the newspaper. In this article it said that my parents, their friends and I would go to Greece!

My parents chose this country because they know that I have wanted to go to Greece for a few years. So I am very happy!

The places that I want to visit are these:

-The Acropolis (Athens):

It is a scared temple of the Godess of Athens who protects the city.

-Myconos:

It is the most famous island in Greece. In Myconos there are fantastic beaches, a lot of parties and shops.

-Santorini:

There are some beautiful views.

-Mycenae:

It’s in the mountain and in here there are the Portich Lions.

-Melissani:

It’s a subterranean cave with salted water and the colour of the water changes depending on the sun shine.

But the places that I want to visit the most are the beaches. I chose these because some people have told me that they are incredible:

- Sarakiniko

- Egremnoi

- Myrtos

- Erimoupolis

I hope that my trip will be very good and that I will like it a lot.

TILL YOU DROP

Andorra has tax-free bargains, within limits. By Susanna Jacobs.

Since the introduction of the euro, princes of many goods have risen in countries across the EU. This is the case in Spain, and Catalunya.
Unfortunetly there has geen no rise in salaries.

One option is to make a trip to Andorra for a duty-free shopping spree.
However, products are divided into two categories: agricultural products, tobacco, food, alcohol and other drinks; and industrial products, which covers everything else.
In Andorra most establishments open seven days a week. Moreover there are hundreds of stores all over prices are very competitive.

However, real savings can be had on spirits and tobaco.
On perfumes, for example there can be savings of about 12%.

There are good deals on some electrical items, including digital cameras, and other products like sport equipment and musical instruments.
Designer fashions instance Via Moda, which has a dozen or so branches and stocks names like Dolce & Gabbana, DKNY, Ralph Lauren and MaxMara.

Film,,*

You've Got M@il

This film is about a man and a woman who hate each other because of their businesses, but they don’t know that speak to each other every day by mail.

At the end of the film they discover that they love each other and start a relation ship.

I know that this film is quite old and now there are films that are be

tter, but for me “You’ve got mail” represents and expresses a lot of different emotions:

-People who don’t like each other or don’t know each other, finally fall in love.

-The importance and influence of internet on the lives of people.

-Destiny, beacuse both characters wish they were the people on the mail at the end of the film.

So, this film is one of the most interesting and beautiful films that I have ever seen because it’s a romanthic comedy, and I love these kinds of films.

Dear Ms.Pintó,

I am Maria, a 1st Batxillerat student.
The reason of my letter is to talk about our new school Calendar. My teacher give me a copy, and I think that it is a good Calendar but I disagree with something.
On the one hand, I agree with our timetable because the Batxillerat students have more hours to study and do homework, so this is a very good point, in my opinion.
But on the other hand, it is true that this timetable has been made to combine with the school transport, but in my opinion 1st Batxillerat students should not have to go to school on Tuestady afternoon.
Finally, I think that we could start school the second week of September because it is still summer and the people who works all the holidays, will have two weeks to relax. On the other hand, if we start on the 7th September it will be worse because we will hardly have any holidays.

I hope that you will consider my opinion.


Your Sincerely,


Maria*

New technologies

Nowadays there are a lot of new technologies, for example: computers, mobile phone’s, G.P.S, robots, cameras, play stations etc.

These things are a good discovery for everyboody buecause they make people’s lives easier: the computers permit evolution in things like science, find new medicines and find a lot of different information ; mobile phone permit communication with people who are a long distance away; G.P.S permit to find the way if you don’t know that; the robots make people’s lives easier because they can do the housework, they can cook... and play stations are enjoyable for children and teenagers.

But in my opinion, if the people abuse new technologies, that can cause problems. Children and teenegers play with mobile phones, computers and play stations a lot and I think that these things are good points if we know their correct uses, but if we don’t use them correctly they can be harmful because, I agree that teenegers need to know and work with new technologies but always with precaution. It’s better not to be bored and to have a good time meet friends, do sport and things like these.

My holidays =D

This Holiday (4th, 5th and 6th of December) I went to Zaragoza because my uncle got married. We went to Zaragoza by car with my uncles (my father’s brothers), my brother, my parents, my grandmother, my cousins, my boyfriend and me. We got lost on the way, so we arrived at the city at night.

The first thing we did was to go to my uncle’s house, because we hadn’t visited his house before, and after we went to a restaurant for dinner. At 1 o’clock a.m we arribed at the hotel and we went to our rooms. The hotel was really fantastic: the rooms were very big, the shower had hidrmassage and everybody had a fridge (with food and drink) and a plasma television. We were very tired, so we went to sleep immediately.

The second day, we got up quite early because we had to prepare for the wedding, but before, we went to visit the town. At 11 o’clock, everybody was very nervous and we got ready. My boyfriend and my brother looked really smart, in my opinion.

At 12 o’clock we went to the ceremony and during the wedding we laughed a lot. After, we went to the restaurant to have lunch. The decoration was really beautiful and fantastic and the food too. After the reception everybody danced and we had a very, very good time because we were really happy!!! On the last day, we got up very late because we went to bed at 2 or 3 a.m and we were tired. In the morning we were in the hotel and we had lunch in a restaurant. At night we arrived at home.

For me, this trip was very special because I was with the people who are really important and special in my life.
