Bye!

Now I say good bye to you. I've been writing here a lot of days and now I've just finished the Blog.
It has been a good year in 4th and now we are in the final line to pass all exams with good results. 
Now I leave you a song which gives you a better humor when you aren't well or motivates you to do anything. It sound very good, but I think you already know it.

I hope you feel happy See you!

Miguel Hernández

Miguel Hernández was born in Orihuela. As a child he went to the school but also was sherpherd. He died in the prison in Alicante after the Civil War. 
Miguel became poetically famous with '' Perito en lunas '' in 1933. Then, with ''El rayo que no cesa'' he became a professional. In his pieces he deals with love, the life and the death. 
During the Civil War he used to write about solidarity and about the pain from the war tragedy. 
For exemple, ' Cancionero y y romancero de ausencias ' was written in prison and shows the pain of separation from his wife and his son. 
He was one of the best poets in Spain.

Did you now this?

Did you know we are taller in the morning than in the evening?

Our vertebral column has cartilages between the vertebras. Along the day these compress theirselves, like a spring because of the pressure made by the weight of our body. That's why at last hours of night we tend to measure between one and two centimeters less, according to the person's weight. But during the night, these cartilages expand theirselves because they don't have to support the weight of the body, so when we get up we have our real height again. This is why we go to the doctor at the first hours in the morning and not in afternoons or evenings. 

Madrid - Atlético

Last night was celebrated the Champions League final in Lisboa, where played Real Madrid against Atlético de Madrid. It was such an epic event because both teams are from the same city! First of all, on the soccer field there was a beautiful show. Then started the match. The stadium was obviusly crowded of fans from two teams and the match became really amazing. At first, Atlético scored , in the last minuts of the match, in the extra time, Sergio Ramos scored for Real Madrid. Then, Madrid players, more lively, started to score goals and finally they won the match. It was really a pity for Atlético, and also for me.

Today

Today I'm writing in the bus, I'm going to a town to play with the band. Right now is raining very hard. We are going to arrive about 2 hours later. There, in that town, we're going to play three songs and the band of that town is going to play with us too. After the concert we are going to have lunch and play cards or something like this. Then, we will take the bus and we will return to our town again.
See you soon.

Mount Mabu

Mabu Mountain

It is situated at the north of Mozambique and some years ago it was only known by the local people and didn’t appear on maps. After investigations with Google Earth, scientist Julian Bayliss found there a paradise, there inhabited giant trees 45 meters high and new species of animals, like unknown butterflies, camelions, snakes, insects and plants which weren't discovered still.

What would you do if you won 2000000?

First of all I would donate half of the money to a charity. One part for people near my town and the otrer one to other countries like Africa ones. 
Next, I'd buy two different motorbikes, one for the road and an off-road one, I like them very much. I'd also buy the PS4 and a lot of games.
I also would buy a new one nearer the beach, in front of that if it would be possible. I would share the rest of the money with my family.
I think I wouldn't change because of the money, because it is more valuous the person than their possessions.

The book thief

At Carnival's week we saw a part from the film ''The Book Thief'' , which treats about a little girl who belongs to a german family and they are hidding a jewish boy. The little girl likes reading books a lot, and the title comes from that. 

We didn't finish to see the film so I can't tell much more about it. But it is very interesting because all happens at German Nazism period. 

Here I leave the trailer.

Mysterious Story

My blood turned to ice when i heard George's voice on the answering machine. He was shouting and seemed very scared. I thought he was in a dangerous situation but I couldn't understand what he was saying. The first thing I did after this was to call him, but like I believed, he didn't answered the phone. So I went to his office and asked for him. There they said to me he had gone to his house. When I arrived there, there was nobody but a person of the street alert me there had been an ambulance two minuts ago. I quickly took the car and drove to the hospital. As soon as I arrived the doctor said me he has been attaked by a thief, who had open a window to steal his goods. He had a hit on his head although was OK, but his house become almost empty!

Love Actually

In this post I'm going to talk about the film 'Love Actually' which we saw in class some moths ago.

Love Actually is a film which has a lot of famous actors, like Hugh Grant who plays Prime Minister, Liam Neeson, Pill Nighy ( the funniest) or Rowan Atkinson, who only appears in one scene.
During the film there are some love stories bacause some of the characters meet and start to get on well and chat theirselves up, but first they have problems to get what they want, which the person they love.The film was set in London, Marselle and Aix en Provence.
In my opinion 'Love Actually' is a good film because it shows a lot of sentimental feelings and has also a humorious side.
I would recommend it seeing it at Christmas to all types of people because it's funny and amusing.

Carnival 2

The second week is the strong one. All starts on Wednesday, when in the evening people use to dress up like in 60's, although this year this has been changed by dressing with sport clothes. This evening they also throw out confetti in a carp with a cannon. Thursday evening is one of the best, because we put on our pijamas and go around the 'casetes' like that. The organising committee tend to bring a good music show this evening, specially for teens. On Friday, children dress up them costumes in the morning but youg people and adults go out in the evening. Finally, it arrives the Saturday and Sunday, when people who belong to different troupes go out to dance with amazing costumes of each troupe aroud some of the main streets of the town.

I'll show you a photo:

Carnival

During the last two weeks it was celebrated Carnival in my town. It started the 21st February and finished on Monday, so we didn't have class at school.

The first day, some people goes to the carnival presentation, at the town hall. There, a comedy group performs a short play to welcome. On Saturday there is the Queens presentation, when a girl of each 'comparsa' shows her dress to all the public and dances a bit on the stage. In the beginning and at half time of this event some of our school girls classmates dance with their dance academy. The next day, Sunday, people goes to the 'casetes' at lunch time to have paella.
This activities happen the first weekend.

Dear Sir Alex

I’m writing to apply for the job as shop assistant at High Street music shop because I saw your advertisement in a bar near my house.

I am fifteen years old and I’m studying a career at Good People School. I’m always very polite with people according to my friends, I’m also outgoing and confident, so it isn’t very hard to talking with estrange people for me, so I think it is my ideal job.

Two summers ago, I worked in a bakery, it didn’t sell much bread until I arrived there. That summer, the shop became more popular, I think the last assistant was too much shy for this type of job.

I enclose my CV and a recent photograph.

Sincerely

Albert

Dear Sir John

I recently saw your advertisement in the street for a Junior Swim School Assistant and I’m writing to you to apply for the position.

I am fifteen years old and I’m a student of Clever School. I swim since I was a child because my parent joined me to the Local Swimming Centre when I was 3. I have participated in some national competitions so I have a good experience for this job. My parents say me I’m a very reliable person, and my friends that I’m brave to talk with adult people.

This summer, I teached my little cousin Carlos to swim without any help and he finally get it although is only 3 year old. I’ve helped the monitors of the swimming center too. I really love children.

Yours faithfully

                

Albert
