My First Time Away from Home

I don’t remember much the name of town where I went for my first time away from home. I think it was in Catalonia.

I went to a summer camp house with my class. We were six years old. The experience was exiting, we spent three days there.

The first day, at night, we made a circle, under the stars and we sang and danced together. We slept very well on berths. Some of my classmates used diapers but I didn’t.

The following day, we went for a walk around the wood and we searched some animal tracks. While we were waiting for lunch we played on a park with a little collapsed castle . In the evening, teachers told us a story about Indians and we made some lucky charms with colorful feathers and tree barks. At night we made a gymkhana around the wood and our teacher told us some stories about the Indians.

The last day we came home to see our families and we told them all about our first time away from home.

Hi Jane,

How are you? Have you got any news? I’m so happy you`re coming to visit me. I want you to have a great time here. My parents and I are going to collect you from the Barcelona airport, so you don’t have to take a bus. We are going to wait you in the gate.

You’ll need about 150€ for a weekend. We are going to Barcelona to see some buildings made by Anthony Gaudi. He is a famous Catalan architect. Then, we are going to visit the Camp Nou, the stadium of Barça team. We are going to a shopping centre to buy some clothes, I know you love it. We aren’t going to any restaurants, my mum is going to cook and I want you to taste some Spanish meals.

The weather here is being fantastic, so take your warm clothes. If it isn’t, I’ll lend you some of my clothes.  The last day, we’ll go to the cinema if it rains. If it’s a sunny day, we will go to the beach to go for a walk with my family.

I’ll see you on Monday,

Bye, Irene.

Hi Nerea!
I'm writing to you to explain what I'm doing on my holiday.

Yesterday morning, I had lunch in a restaurant near the hotel and the food was plain, anything special. The weather is being fantastic! It's sunny and a little hot that's way I went to Venice beach and I swam on the sea. Then, I went to see Beverly Hills.

Today, I'm going to visit the Chinese Theatre, after that, I'm going to have lunch in any restaurant from Los Angeles. In the afternoon, I'm going to see the stars of the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, meanwhile I hang around and I buy some clothes. For dinner, I'm going to the restaurant of the hotel and then, I'm going to a party. Tomorrow, I'm going to the Universal Studios Hollywood to watch the movie studio and to have fun in the theme park with my friends. Eventually, I'm going to have a sun bath in Santa Monica beach and to buy some souvenirs from California.
This city is so amazing!
I'm missing you.
with love,
Irene!:)

The Peacock

I’ve chosen this animal because is the cutest one I’ve never seen in my life.

The peacock is a bird in the family of turkeys. This animal has got special big feathers. They are colorful usually blue, green and white if it is male. And if it is female, they are white, grey and blue. They eat seeds, fruits, plants, vegetables, insects and frogs. Furthermore, they live in southern Asia, in woods; some people also believe that Alexander the Great introduced this animal in Europe. In Spain some farmers raise peacocks to sell or eat. Most are in zoos or wildlife parks where they live freely.

I think that those animals are beautiful but they are too big to buy one.

One of the worst day of my life

All started when I woke up in the early morning. I saw a light in the hall, I got out of my bed to turn off the light. I looked for my parents, but they weren't in their bedroom, my brother was there and  my cousins were sleeping in my brother's bed. I heard a noise and my cousin's grandmother came. She told me to go to sleep. I did it. When I got up, my parents told me that my grandfather had died at dawn. I spend all the day with my other grands. That day was the worst of my life.
