My last holidays were my best holidays. I enjoyed a lot with my boyfriend and we met new people. We travelled to Mexico one year ago. We stayed there ten days.
After we arrived at the airport of Mexico we went to the hotel which was very big and beautiful. Then we went to our room and came in. It was bigger than my flat. Opposite the bed there was a table with a lot of fruits on. Next to the room there was a swimming pool and near it there was the beach. It's the most beautiful beach I've ever seen.

I'm going to talk about my summer vacation, were generally very good although there was no trip like other years.
On the one hand, but is not gone on a trip I spent more time with my friends and my boyfriend, we have a lot to the beach, I've also worked a few days with my mother occasionally went to the gym and when I was in August all day at the fair.
On the Other hand, when I finish the show I get the worst of the summer, because I had to go back to school to pass exams these days.
In conclusion the holidays were very good, I had time to do many things, I hope the next holiday will be better.

These holidays have been the best of my life.

First(ly),I have to say that I went away to gerona, to a town that is called Camallera, where I was with my cousin and my uncles.

 I like to be there because my cousin’s house is very big and it has swimming pool.

 In the mornings I used to wake up late and normally I took a bath in the swimming pool, though often I used to go with them to the apartments that they have in …

 I like very much ’’The brave coast’’

 When I was there ,I went to the village Carnival, it was very funny, but my cousin  suffered  a second-degree burn so we went to the Hospital. The doctor cured him and that was all.

Also I was to Barcelona with them, where I visited “La Sagrada Familia” which is a very famous... Continuar leyendo "Redaccion de ingles" »

TO OLD TO ROCK AND ROLL

'Why don't you both stop it?' Valerie's voice said on the phone.

'Well, Dad began it,' Greg answered. 'He called me a baby.'

'And you called him an old man. That wasn't nice.'

'I didn't really mean it. He isn't very old, is he?' Greg said.

He remembered that Valerie was about forty herself.

'No. And what about that piece from the newspaper about older men losing their hair? You put thay up on the kitchen wall! You've got to stop it,' Valerie said.

'We need someone here to stop us', Greg said quietly.

'I know,' Valerie spoke softly now. 'Well, I'll be there at eight o' clock tonight. I'll see you then, all right?'

Greg put the phone down and went into the kitchen. He looked at the piece from the newspaper about men losing their... Continuar leyendo "Too old to rock and roll" »

Pets:Nowadays people usually hace a pet at home.They often have a cat, a dog or even a turtle.Children usually have fun with them but it gets to a point that they get tired of their own pets and some of them leave their pets on the streets, in a park, in a petrol station...Because it's "too tiring" to look after them every day. But not all pets "end" this way, because other children do look after their pets, feed them and give them love. I think it's good for children to have a pet at home because they learn to have responsability and to take care.Importancia del inglés:Nowadays English is a very important language because it has become the common language for everyone to comunicate;so we should learn it and practise it as much as possible...
