My fovourite writer

I think that I haven't got an especial favourite writer, so I'm going to write about the writer of one book that I liked a lot. His name is Alberto Méndez. I don't know many things about her, but I really like his book named "Los girasoles ciegos"
I read this book this summer and it has emocionated me a lot. In this book, he has recopilated four real histories about the Spanish Civil war. I haven't reaten others books of Alberto Méndez, but for me, in this book he has done a very good work, because the book is really good. And is imposibol that I can read another book of Alberto Méndez, because he publicated Los girasoles ciegos when he was 63 year old, and eleven months after, he died.
Now, I'm going to write a little about his life, because I don't know a lot.

Alberto Méndez was born in Madrid in the 1941, and he lived while he was a child.
He studied the institute in Rome and he was graduated in philosophy and letters in the University "Computense" of Madrid. In 2002 he was finalist in the international price of Max Aub' stories with one tale of "Los girasoles ciegos" and it was his firts narrative price.
Alberto Méndez died the 30th of December of 2004.

Now, they have done a film aboute one history of the book of "Los girasoles ciegos". I'm going to see it at the cinema, this afternoon :)

My house.*

My Street.*

This is my street, Maestro Sosa's street.

My area is very calm, there isn't lot of people in the street and normaly there isn't lot of noise. But you can see that at night there is a lot of ilumination and I don't think that it was necesary.

Also this is a good place to live because it's nearly to the center.

But one day it happened a tragedy.

It happened close from my street and it was the tragedy of the underground, at day 3th of July.

It happened because the segurity of the old trains wasn't very good.

It was a very big tragedy to the city because here deaded lot of people that day. More or less 41 persons.

And normaly there are some flowers or thinks like that to remember the deads.

It's very sad!

Oropesa

Lasts days 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th we five (Sara, Tatiana, Aida, Leonor and me) were in Oropesa, in Tatiana's grandmother's house.
Tatiana invited us to make the celebration of his birthday, more or less:)
And in Oropesa was tatiana's cousin, Zulema, that she went with us too.
We were Latas + Z:)

Tatiana's Grandmother's has a big house on top of the beach and obvious we were lot of time there.

Normaly at morning we get up and when we had breakfast and all the things, we come down to the beach.

In the afternoon, after lunch, we went to the ice-cream parlour and we ate ice-creams or "Gofres" and after we went to the kiosk to get some candies:).

And at night we went to buy ice-creams or "Gofres" and we went to the sand of the beach and we talked lot of time.

¬ In this photo we're with two friends of Sara that they were in Oropesa too and we meet with them some nights.

One day in the afternoon we went to rent a water skate, and we went throught the sea, near to the beach.

It was very funny because we stoped the skate and we sayed "come on, all to the wate" and we jumped into the water and quickly we runed to the stairs of the skate to go up of it because the water was very cloudy and we didn't can see anything under of it.

But little by little we were lasting more time in the water.

It was very very great and it was the first time that I rent a water skate.

In Wednesday Tatiana invited us to Aquarama and we six were all the day there.

It was veryyyyyy funny.

We meet some lifeguards and one of them let us to stay with him inside of one water slide, it was fantastic:)!!!

And there, in aquarama, we saw Chema.

If I haven't said it, I say it now, Lots of Thanks Tatiana, it was a fantastic travel and a fantastics days:) ..I Love you so much Tati:)!!

Last days 20th, 21th, 22th and 23th of Augost Aida invited us, Sara, Tati, Leo and me but Leo didn't can went because she was in another travel.

Aida inveted us to celebrate her birthday. That days ins xelva it were the festivities of the village.

It was very good because how it's a village more or less all the people knows to the others and all the time the people is in the street with his or her friends.

And at night, it was the best because there was a "Berbena" and we were dancing and singing all the time.

The first night we go with Aida's friends to one tall part of the village to see a firework display, it was very good but it was impresionant because we had the casttle over of us and it seem that it will fall over of us. It was very very impresionant.

In the afternoon of the 23th it was "La pozalá" that is one hour mor or less that all the people that wants goes to the square of the village with buckets and all the peolple gets wet. It was very funny but also it was cold.

And one night we saw Adrian and I told him that I wanted to dance with him but after he didn't come to the "Berbena". Very bad adrian, very bad. :P!

That days in Xelva were very very very good, we enjoyed our self a lot, next year we want to retunrn!:)

Thanks Aida!

Summer

*..Javea '07..*

Hello..! I know that there is a long time that I haven't written here but it was because I'm not living in my house because I'm making alterations to my house and like it's summer I'm making lots of things.

In July Leonor and me were in a camp, an English camp.
It was in Javea in one home not too far of the beach.
It started the 8th of July and it finished the 28th of July.
In the moornig we were making English class and exams, until 11.15. After we had a break until 12 o'clock and a little more of class.
In the afternoon we were making competitions, games, etc. And at night some days we were going to the shops of the beach, other days we were going to the fair and in thursadays we were going to the cinema of the beach and we had lunch there.
The camp is very good to lean English because there is a blackboard for the points and we have teams. And each person was geting points if she or he spoke in English all the time, for the competitions, for the results of the exams, for the bedrooms,etc. And at the end, the team that have more points win and they have a present.
Our team (the red team) win and we win a walk in one launch. It was incredible.

I liked this camp a lot because I have met lots of people and I have made lots of friends. And I think that I have learned lot of English too.
Next year, I want to retun:).

(When I have the photos of Javea in the computer I will put some.)

Spain..*

Spain..*

Spain is an European country that is situated in the occidental europe. Spain is nex Portugal and up of it, there is Andorra and France and inside of the penisnula, in the south, there is an country of England, Gibraltar.

There are two seas that wet the castlines of the coutry: the Mediterran sea and the Cantabric sea.

Spain has a 44.708.964 inhabitants and it has an area of 504.645km2

The capital of Spain is Madrid. It's in the middle of the coutry and it has 3.229.600 inhabitants.

The name of the country, Spain derive from Hispania from the first civilization that wasn't iberian.

The currency of Spain is the Euro-> €, like in almost Eurupe.

In spain there are more than one languages: There is the castilian, the catalan and valencian that is more or less the same, the Galician, the Aranés and the Basque.

The catalan is oficial in Ctalunya and in the islands Balears, the valencian in the Valencian community, the galician in Galicia, the basque in the "Pais vasco" and in one part of Navarra, and the Anranés in the Arans's valley.

The more important religion of Spain is the catholicism, there are a lot of people who belive in God and in Spain there are a week who is "La semana santa" when there are a lot of catholicism's processions. The 79,4% say that belive in God.

In Spain there are several importants days like: the day of the work( 1 of May) the day of the constitution( 6 of December) this day is when the costitutios was aprovated, the day of "todos los santos"(1 of November)...

Spain is a Monarchy that the king is Juan Carlos I, but there are a democratic government that is select democracyment each four years. Now the president of Spain is Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatatero of the PSOE.

I think that he is great. Last year, in 2008, there will be next elections and I wish that the PSOE or "Izquierda unida" win it.

Food--

In Spain is very typical to eat "paella" and is very typical the ham too.

Celebrations--

In Spain for example, there are very famus "Las corridas de toros" that is celebrate in one bullrig where there is one bullfighter and one bull and the bullfighter fight the bull and after he kill him... I don't like nothing this celebration but in Spain is a tradition and in almoust towns and cyties there are a bullrig.

Fallas*

..Fallas*

The fallas is a very important celebration of Valencia.
This celebration is about...
First, the artists "Falleros" make the escultures that in one futur, they will be the falla.
We call Falla to the escultures than the artists falleros make but for us, the fallas aren't only a esculture, for us fallas is a very big and important party.
When we are in fallas, Valencia is a city in a continuous party because... A lot of streets are cut, the people throw "petardos", the smell is all the time of gunpowder, in all of the streets there is one or more "churros or buñuelo's" shop.
Also, all of days of the fallas's week, we make a "mascletà", that are more or less a 10 minuts that a pirothecnic throw a lot of very big "petardos" that make a lot of noise and in the sky make colors or thinks like that.
The fallas finish when arrive the night to burn it, the night of "La cremà". This night all the fallas have burn and the last that have burn is the town hall's falla.
I like a lot of this environment of party because...I don't know, is like all the people is happy or something like that.







In our school when make a falla too, but in occasion the "artistas falleros" are we,all the childrens and the teachers of the school. This year our falla was about the sostenibility and it was make with sostenibilitys materials.

Last 27th of november the President of the United States, George Bush was visiting Estonia.

At night of Monday, Bush arrived to the airport Ulemiste in Tallin to start his visit of Estonia.

Tuesday, the president was interviewing with the Estonian presindent and with the first minister, Andrus Ansip.

At Tuesday afternoon Bush was going to Riga and after he had another interview.

The president Geroge Bush is the first president that visit this country.

The visit of the president was for make a gratitude sing to the Estonian country from the United States for the support of Estonia to Usa for the struggle against the terrorism.

I think that if for George Bush struggle against the terrorism is make wars like the war of Irak...For me Bush don't has a good idea of the peace.

A bomb attack cease fire is finished.

[Eta puted a bomb]

When it was almost 11 months that Eta was declarated the stop fire and when a lot of people think that we were geting the peace, Eta puted a bomb in the four terminal of the airport of Barajas in Madrid.

The explosion make knock four floors of the parking, all of it.

It happend last 30 of December when Eta puted a bomb in the parking of the four terminal of Barajas.

At this time two immgrants boys were sleeping in his cars that were parked in the parking.

The police and the bombers knows that two person were in the parking at the same moment of the explosion, and they were looking for them a lot of days.

At the end they can find the boys but it was late...the boys were died.

When it was 11 months ago Eta was declarated the stop fire I feel very happy because I tought that we were going to get the peace. But when Eta puted the bomb I feel angry because I tought that all was finished.

After of this attack, Eta said that they were continued whit the stop fire.

I think that if you want to get the peace you can't be putting bombs when you want. If you want and you said stop, you have to stop it and you can't continue with the attacks.

If no...It woudn't call peace.
