Rose from Rio Ebro

The Ebro River as it passes over Zaragoza keeps from 2.00 pm today a wealth around the 1,300 cubic meters per second, meaning that the flood is a very long time, even though the tip is expected, which will be in around the expected values, between 1,400 and 1,450 cubic meters.
According to sources explained the Hydrographic Confederation of the Ebro, the flows are "within the provisions", despite that being a grown by more rain is difficult to determine the behavior of the channel.
Thus, throughout the night flow ha ido rising slowly and steadily, from 1,302 cubic meters per second at 2.00 hours until the 1.359,44 from 10.00 am, with 1.321,36 at 4.00 pm and 1,340, 4 at 7.00. The tip of the flood is, therefore, very long, but has not yet reached their maximum levels, we do not know exactly when to arrive and are set around the 1,400 or 1,450 cubic meters.

Poll puts Zapatero ahead

The Spanish Prime Minister is set to clinch re-election on Sunday by a narrow margin, according to the results of a poll commissioned by The Times.
The survey, conducted by the Spanish polling company Sigma Dos, shows José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s Socialist Party beating its conservative rivals by 3.8 percentage points. That result would give the Socialists enough seats in Parliament to form a government but place them short of an absolute majority.
Spanish media are barred from publishing opinion polls in the five days leading up to the election but political parties and business groups continue to commission them. The results are traded widely among political and business elites but until now have been kept from ordinary Spaniards.

:::film review:::

The “Mystery of Malta “is the best thriller done by pupils of first of “batxiller”. The short begins when the principals character, a couple of young students find a symbols, and with the help of a grandmother and of a professional they investigate on them and coming to a very interesting and surprising end.
The film combines action, suspense and love history with the main characters, and it has a lot of information about the “templars” of Malta, the principal plot of it.
This movie is fascinating, you’ll enjoy every minute of this recording, since the whole moment is intriguing. It is worth seeing the result of a hard work in class.

Me está gustando. La historia es que en clase de castellano teníamos como lectura obligatoria Cumbres Borrascosas, y me gusto mucho entonces en la historia de la Emily Brontë se explicaba que su hermana había echo también un libro, que era Jane Eyre y busque más o menos de que iba y me intereso y me lo compre… todavía no me lo he acabado pero es bastante interesante.

review of SAW III

Saw is one of the best films in the twentyone century.
But I'm going to talk about the third issue, that's the most interesting, but it isn't the best of the triology.

It's a thriller of terror, with a lot of puzzles and imagination.
The director is Darren Lynn Bousman, it was published in 2006, USA.
With his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), the puppeteer responsible for the cruel and intricate games that have terrorized an entire community and have baffled the police, returned to evade capture. While the detectives of the city become crazy trying to find him, Dr. Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) and Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) are unaware that they are about to become puppets of their recent ruthless chessboard.
In the film abounds torture and blood ... but always justified by a clever script that although encountered on several occasions, brings a compelling dramatic arc. While "Saw III" has perhaps the slower pace of the series and the "surprises" more loose, I think it compensates with a stronger cast.
trilogy argues moderately well by the strength of his narrative, seasoned by the well-known intensity of its tone and its scenes of violence

CASINO ROYALE

Casino Royale, is the twenty-first James Bond adventure in the most successful franchise in movie history. It's starring Daniel Craig in his debut as 007, and is based on the first novel by Ian Fleming in which he presented the final secret agent, and which was published in 1953.
Casino Royale keeps track of the principle of the career of James Bond. His first mission as "007" leads him to Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to terrorists around the world. To stop it, and dismantle the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a game of poker with high stakes in Casino Royale.
Initially annoyed when Bond is assigned to a beautiful Treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), to deliver the bet for the game and monitor the government's money. But while Bond and Vesper survive a series of deadly attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, it develops a mutual attraction that leads them to greater dangers and events that marked Bond's life forever.
I would recommend this movie for being very good.

Goodbye Lenning

Goodbye Lenning is one of the best films directed by Wolfang Becker.
It’s a story that happens in1989. Alex’s mother goes on coma and a few months later she wake up but her health was very delicate. No surprises can be given to her. She doesn’t know that her beloved eastern Germany doesn’t exist anymore.
The real plot is when her friens and neighbours try to hide the real situztion.
I think the acting is excellent, with amazing performances from both Daniel Br{ul and Katrin Sass
Although the original language of the film is in German.
It has been translated in many languages. However, I would recommended this film without thinking twice.

Review of American Beauty

American Beauty, Sam Mendes’s film, is set in The United States of America in the 1999s, and won five Oscars. The film is based on an American family, but especially & the most important character who is the father. The peculiarity of this family is the characters who are involved in: At first, the mother, who is bad-tempered, she is a perfectionist and immaculate woman, obsess to success with her job. Secondly, the teenager girl, character with not much self-esteem and embarrassed with her parents. Thirdly, the father, who has a monotone and boring live; he is & relaxed men fed up with his job, hated by his daughter and his wife and upset with his age.
The film combines humour, drama, suspense, and love. In some occasions the film makes you think about our life with some philosophical details.

To sum up, although the end is unexpected and strange, the film in general is great, the director and the scriptwriter worked well. In addition, the actors are good.
I recommend the film to all the people, especially the people who are fed up with their life and need some changes.

A writing review: Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë, published in 1847s. The characters are Jane, the protagonist and the character of the title; she is alone since very small, she is an orphaned. And Rochester who is a love of Jane Eyre she leaves everything for him. Jane Eyre an Autobiography is a history of loves between the sarcastic and, the same time, very attractive Rochester and the young teacher Jane, they are a protagonist. When she is going to contract marriage with him, she discovering that her promised already was married with a rich native that she has driven crazy. After a lot vicissitudes, the history of love knows the end happy.
This book is written in first person, with extensive vocabulary and with great handling the psychology of characters, it is as if say the observation is that within the soul of the author that she found the reality carried to the extreme. This is a book of English romanticism.
I haven’t finish read yet, but it’s very interesting and you aren’t bored when you read this book. Is true that when you start the book is heavy but definitely worth reading.

Tor, thirteen houses and three murders

Tor, thirteen houses and three murders, Carles Porta’s best-selling book, begins when the author, a reporter who works for the program 30 minuts in TV3 is called to cover the murder of Sansa, one of the tyrants of a little village called Tor, placed in Pallars Sobirà. Tor is a village whose inhabitants have got an enormous communal estate. Carles, with his camera Pol Izquierdo, moves to the Pallars to elaborate the report. While his stay in the Vall Ferrera he discovers, from the locals, an important story. An argument between the two tyrants about the construction of a ski resort connected with Andorra.

The book is written in a style which combines the journalism and the narrative. It’s a book which is easy to read in spite of its length. All the time there is an ambience of mystery, which makes the author move from a lawyer’s practice in the Passeig de Gracia of Barcelona, to the singular landscapes of the High Pyrenees.

Once you begin “Tor, thirteen houses and three murders”, you won’t be able to put it down. An unusual real story about mysterious people will trap you.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my opinion about the unacceptable layout wich the Town Hall has done at the new flats of Random Street.

I am one of these neighbours of the Random Flat’s; I am living on the third floor, with my new husband John. We have been married since two weeks, and then we went to live in these flats.
All has been good, however we had to met the new neighbours, a prostitute and illegal Africans. We are terrified due to (the fact that) both are illegal, the prostitute take her clients into her house and makes shouts all the time, and the illegal Africans are eleven in his tiny flat as a result of this they cannot have a shower because & are too many people, and then the stink of them come through our windows.
Apart from this, our flat is little and the noisy that the students of Erasmus make and the trumpetist on the fourth flour doesn’t let us sleep.

We try to explain this to the community president, nevertheless he refused and criticises us because we are homosexual. We are fed up, we are a simple couple which only want to be quiet and have a relax holidays, despite all of our neighbours treat us like aliens as we are homosexual, (this is repetitive).

I hope you will, in the future, consider the ethical and human rights of where we are living. We need a change.

Yours faithfully,

Marjohoh

Dear social councillor,

I am writing to you to complain about my neighbours.

I am a Chinese man and I live with my wife, my two sons and my wife’s parents. Next to my flat lives a trumpeter who practices every night, and he is not good in playing the trumpet. My mother-in-law, my father-in-law and my two sons need to go to sleep early and they can’t do it if our neighbour plays for three or four hours.

Moreover, we live above a bar and every weekend it bothers us because we hear the music al night.

Furthermore, in our building lives a noisy spinster who is always meddling in others’ lives. He’s very annoying and pestering.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a neighbour whose home has been evacuated the last Saturday and who has been relocated on the number 2 of Lakes Street. I want to tell you that my wife and I are very satisfied about your intervention. Our new flat is as comfortable as our old flat, and the installations run very well. Despite all this, I want to complain about two things.

First of all, the building has not got a lift, so, we have to go upstairs on foot. You could think that it is not a problem, because we have been placed on the first floor, however, my wife is 75 and I am 78. Moreover, my wife is suffering varicose veins, therefore, she cannot walk very well and it is really tiring for us to go upstairs on foot.

Secondly, in the building, there are some people who are very annoying. For example, on our same floor there are three foreign students. They organise a lot of parties and at night they do a lot of noise. Furthermore, there is a disco-bar on the street floor, which is also very noisy. Finally, there are some peculiar people: a prostitute and a group of illegal immigrants.

I look forward to your replay

Yours faithfully,

Study in home

In & USA & practise the study in home. Chester is a child, that with his two best friends, they haven’t idea & that is a school, this happen in the big city of New York. 50 years old to this woman, his mother or father, they had removed them the custody of their son and more, but nowadays in & USA accepted this event not like attack for the society.
In Spain a time ago there was a case, in which the parents do the teacher of their children. And in this country can’t do of teacher in home, although they give the same subjects. Then the defendants and they said that if they guilty they went to France, because in France they can teach their children.

Superheros also fall in love

Matt wasn’t a normal man. He was a little bit special. When all was ok, he was Matt Jones, the man who works in the pet shop, famous in his district for his friendliness and his kindness. But when things were wrong, he changes his nice face for a superhero’s face, Butterflyman! With his colorful suit, his pink cloak and his mask with a flower he went to help people’s problems.

One day, when he was working quietly in the shop his pink spirit warned him of a danger. A school bus was falling down in a cliff. He closed the shop, he changed his clothes and he went to the mountains where the bus was.

In two seconds he arrived there, the children were very happy of seeing him and he went down the school bus and he tried to take it up. But he couldn’t, he wasn’t strong enough. And then, when the bus was going to fall down a bright light appeared and in the light he saw a wonderful figure. A ninety-sixty-ninety woman. With a suit of Chanel, Dior’s shoes and big Dolce&Gabanna’s sunglasses. He fallen in love immediately. The woman, who was wonderfully strong helped Butterflyman to take up the bus.

When all the people in the bus were saved Butterflyman asked the woman out. She agreed. Matt will take him to the best restaurant in the city.

Next day, Matt went to the woman’s house at ten o’clock. She opened the door, she was wonderfully beautiful. She was blonde, with blue eyes, roused lips and a better body than last day.

Matt and the woman went out in the best restaurant in the city. During the dinner they talked about their lives, the woman, who was called Venus Knowles and his superhero name was Fashionwoman, fallen in love immediately with Matt.

The days passed and they continued going out together. One day Matt asked Venus to get married, she accepted and in one month the got married.

The life of married was really nice, they were happy, Venus was pregnant and in nine months she was going to give birth. But when nine months had passed and Venus went to the Hospital to give birth to the child, there wasn’t only one child. One...two…and three babies! One boy and two girls, Troy, Hannah and Ruby.

They were very happy with the children but the problems of parents’ life arrived. Their live turned monotone and boring.

Day after day, Matt had more arguments with Venus.

One day, he decided to stop all, he split up with Venus and she agreed it.

But then, the divorce problem’s arrived. Two people wanted the custody of the three children, the house, the car, the motorbike, the CD’s, the computers…

They went to a judgement and after days of negotiation Venus had all the things and Matt had to pay some money every month for the children.

And Matt became another time the boy of the pet shop of the district. But he wasn’t, happy and nice, he turned disagreeable and unpleasant.

And obviously the suit of Butterflyman was thrown in the rubbish.

MY VIEW OF THE CATALAN COUNTRIES

From my point of view, the Catalan Countries are a Nation, with the characteristic items that all the nations have: a language, a literature, a being- manner, a history and a lot of traditions. Because of that I think that we must have the opportunity of rule us as any other country in the world. But we also need the freedom as a way to preserve our language, which is becoming more and more little.

The first thing that I want to write about is the plurality of the Catalan territory. I’m living in the most secessionist place of them, Catalonia, but there are other places, like Northern Catalonia (in France), Andorra, and Valencian Land, the Balearic Isles and a part of Aragón in the Spanish State. The situation is very different here than in València, where the Spanish colonization is not the most important problem that the population who are being tricked for their political class, is facing.

It could seem that the independentists are anti-Spanish, but I I’m really convinced that it isn’t a good option. I’m also against the position that the Spanish make in their relation with the Catalans, because I think that they don’t give us the opportunity of being autodeterminated, and the last estatut of Catalonia is a great demonstration of it. I fight for a catalanism free of this ancient and maybe fascist ticks. I look for a tolerant country, which could have a good relationship with its neighbours, like Spain. I think that the people who say being anti-Spanish or who actuate like this, are people that are only vinculated to the independentist movement for ancient symbolical motives, as well as the people who support the terrorism.

And this is the next subject that I wanted to talk about. Now, I could say that I’m very proud of the independentism of nowadays, because we have forgotten, I think that for a lot of time, the violence as a way of get our freedom. The narrow mentality of the time of Terra Lliure and other assassin groups has been buried. Now all the organizations are making a civil and participative process founded on the non-violence. And this is really the only way as we could get the independence

In a nut shell, I think that the Catalan Countries are a plural nation, with an important common element, the Catalan Language, and if we want the independence we have to work hard on the non-violence movement.

The mysterious institute

It was A January, eighteen of two thousand eight, & was a cold Friday, and was not stopping snowing.The alarms sounded to remove the institute, but & the class of first of bachillerato, there was so much noise that & was not heard.On having looked at the clock, I realized of that it was quarter to two o'clock, the hour of being going to eat. So we prepare the rucksacks for ourselves and we us prepared to go, but some kind of were, when we start lowering the stairs, Quim fix with a river of blood that was going down the floor of above, Joan and Josep M ª said of rising. But Anna, Anna M ª, Gemma, Núria and Nasi, remained waiting for us.
We raise the rest, the blood was coming from the floor where there live the boys and girls of the module. All the terrified ones, we enter to see what was happening, since it was doing a few days that a very strong smell of the floor was coming of above.We enter, everything was dark, and at the end of a corridor there was a very weak light, as if it was of a candle that was consumed slowly, us went towards the light. As we were approaching, one saw a group of people, doing a few prayers, slightly strange, with a language that we do not manage to distinguish.
Little by little we were aproaching, until we stop to observe what were seeing, suddenly Judith, Marco Aurelio, Andreu and David, to push together to this species of ritual.Cristina, Melani and Xavi were moving along of fear, but immediately they returned, all the doors of the college were blocked. Slightly very rare it, was happening in the institute, but nobody knew exactly what was happening.Suddenly the group of people it goes, with our companions, to go away even the whole multitude, to the soil I stay a symbol, which we could not interpret, Laura try it to interpret but I do not achieve it.Sergi and Koen went to see if we could go out for the fire escape, but they didn't return.
Yanina and I went to the office of the director, and there we saw that in the computer there was the same symbol that of above, we were starting suspecting, that was spending there?We look at the computer, and discover a text, something rare, it was in another language, but below were a fragment written in Spanish, was saying something of a secret sect, and that to enter her you had to drink blood. We went it manages to be explained to the others, but already they were drinking blood. We try to go out for the court, but they took me, and forced me to form a part of that sect.Five years later have happened, and I have realized of that you had the absorbed one, and it didn't have his personality.

It could be real

Today I’m very happy due to I am in the “ESCAC” summer camp. In this camp I learn all about making movies, we will film our own sketch the last week of the camps in groups of five or six (that’s good because in reduced groups we can learn more). It’s wonderful being here, we do lots of activities and amazing classes and we make a lot of friends.
This camp is in Sitges, near the beach, therefore when we have & break we can go there and take a swim. I always go to the sand of the beach and I start thinking about some films and how I would make them. My best friend Brian wants to be a famous cinema director and he knows a lot, besides he teach me about rare films. Now I’m beginning the script of my new sketch... I hope some day I could make larger movies.

ALPICAT 1-1 POBLA

This sunday I had a football match in Alpicat at twelve hour a.m.
Last Saturday I was on a Birthday Party but & was sleeping at half past one!! that was very early for me!!
It was because next Sunday I had the football match and I must to get up at eight a.m. and have a shower and after this at quart past nine go to the town of Lleida(alpicat)...

I was very happy as a reason that I was on the eleven...
The match in the first half was very nice because we were winning 0-1, with a goal of Sergi Plancheria, all the team at the timeout was delighted and the coach too.
The second half began good, but the other team was very good physicaly and we were very tired, and... 1-1, they meke the drawn, it was worst.
In the eighty minute of the match, a bump between our player and an alpicat's player has resulted in a serious injury to the opponent, he broked his leg!!! he was crying a lot!!
All the people was afraid and it was a horrible clash!!
The match was stopped until the ambulance arrived to take the injured player...

I can't say any more.

THE CHILD ABUSE

When we think of "maltreatment" automatically thought of domestic violence, abuse of power, bullying, not with these terms relate to children, to children, however, are the hardest hit and most defenseless.

Under the law is considered child abuse carried out under the age of 18 when her physical or mental health, or safety are at risk, whether by acts and omissions carried out by parents or others responsible for their care to occur, then, the abuse by action, omission or negligence. We could enumerate various types of abuse:

• Physical abuse: breached any physical injuries on the body of the child, done with the intent to harm.
• Abandonment or Neglect: When parents or guardians do not meet, if you want, the basic needs of the child.
• Sexual abuse: The child is used by an adult or another child more for sexual satisfaction, and respond to this child can not give informed consent.
• Psychological abuse or emotional: Any action that produces mental or emotional harm on the child, causing disruption of sufficient magnitude to affect the dignity, alter their welfare, or even harming their health. Abused children are rarely affected by introducing a single abuse, often their impact are related. For example, a child who was physically mistreated, it is also damaging emotionally.

The psychological abuse takes the following actions that we will describe below. Sometimes these are found to be normal without repairing the ceiling where it ends a call to correct and psychological abuse begins:

- When ridiculed, it was insulting, it belittles a child, he was mistreated when he submits to witness physical or verbal violence towards family members; tying a child to any furniture, threaten, intimidate, emotional blackmail ; isolate him, deprive him of his liberty in the dark, implicitly or explicitly reject even approached the world of drugs, alcohol, the vices .... everything it can cause deterioration in the social, emotional or intellectual child.

Interestingly, this type of abuse is very assumption in our society, despite the fact that the list is very long.

This type of abuse is also linked to emotional neglect, where the child receives no affection, encouragement, support and protection required for each stage in its development staff.

Tragic day

Last Thursday Genís, Oriol, Pol and I, went to practice snowboard in Espot.
Oriol had never practiced ski and snowboard and the others taught him.
When Oriol could stand on the board, we decided to go to the blue track.
In the blue track Oriol fell, and he hurt himself on his heat.
His cousin and I went to the doctor’s, immediately a snowmoto went to the blue track to search Oriol and Genís. Ten minutes later the snowmoto went down to the doctor’s, and Genís went down on his snowboard.
We went to visit Oriol, but we didn’t visit him, because the doctor heeled him.
The Doctor was very nice to us.
At one o’clock we had to return to Pobla because Oriol couldn’t practice snowboard.In a nutshell it was a terrible day for me, because never one person was hurt in front of me.

Smoke


I think that a person who smokes, Smokes because it wants, it is his salvation.

The tobacco diminishes the senses of the taste. The tobacco to break the lungs, the teeth and the life of other persons.

It is especially the smoke that is toxic.The tobacco is contaminated.

We begin to smoke in 14 years, for average term.

France is Europa's country where the teenagers smoke more.

The children begin to he smokes more early, because there is no alertness.

If the relatives smoke, his children run risk of suffering the consequences.

THE CIGARETTE CAN KILL.

THE WOODEN BOWL

Once upon a time a frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandpa's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and his wife became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about grandpa!," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor!". So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandpa ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the family table. Since grandpa had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Sometimes when the family glanced in grandpa's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before dinner, the father noticed his son playing with the tools and some wood on the floor. He asked the child, "What are you making?" And the boy answered, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mum to eat your food from when you become old people." The chils smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandpa's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

A fulfilled dream!

I was flying to Chicago. I was nervous. I was going to live the best experience of my life. Two days ago, when I was at home, I received an important call, it was Madonna’s manager, he explained me that I have passed the casting and that I was going to dance with the diva. At that moment, I didn’t believe it, but slowly, I realized that something great was going to happen to me.

When I arrived to the studios I met the other nine winners of the casting who where going to dance with Madonna too. We stayed in a room chatting for one hour more or less, then, someone knocked at the door. We didn’t say anything and the door was opened by the woman who we were going to dance for, yes, it was Madonna!
She stayed with us chatting for a long time and a nine o’clock we went to have dinner and to sleep, the singer said us that next day was going to be a hard day.

And the five girls and five boys went to sleep
with something more to tell to our sons, we have met one of the top world celebrities.

It's the time

I’m waiting behind the stage… In a few minutes I will be there, with all the lights off, a big focus lighting me and thousands of people shouting. It’s great what I feel after a concert, all have finished and I’m not nervous, but before a concert it’s very estrange. I feel nervous for all the people that is going to see me, worried about if something could fail, excited because I’m going to do what I enjoy more in the world: play my guitar. Well, it’s time to go. I take my white Stratocaster, I smile to Fryda, the bass player and I close my eyes, I can’t hear anything, my manager is telling me something but I don’t care, now it’s me and the people. I will say who I am and why I’m in the stage. Our music is noise, and we are proud of it. It’s the time.

relative free week

A great week is ending now, (this week has ten days...).
And all my class have had stressed with homeworks, specially the big work of machado (I hate him).
Why some teachers want that we make all this homeworks in our holidays?
Why teachers don't think that a other teachers said last week ("Holidays are for disfrute) ?
Every free days we have more work than ordinary days, and the rest of the week the work isn't important.
I would like that one day these things change.

For think

A king was until his garden and discovered that their trees, shrubs and flowers were dying. The Oak told him that was dying because he couldn't be as high as & Pine. Turned to & Pine, found him down because he couldn't give grapes as the Vineyard. And the Vineyard was dying because he couldn't flourish as & Rose. The Rose cried because he couldn't be high and strong as oak. Then found a plant, a strawberry, she flourishing. The king asked: How far is that healthy in way of this sad and rotted garden? the strawberry said:I don't know. Maybe it was because I assumed that when planted, wanted strawberries. Had you wanted an oak or a Rose, would have been planted.
At that time I said: "& Strawberry try to be the best way that it can." Now it's your turn. You are here to help with your fragrance. Just look at yourself. There is no possibility that you are someone else. You can enjoy and flourish watered with your own love for yourself, or you can to fade up on your own conviction...

Ghost

It all began in London one winter night in1870. It was a very cold night.
Two good friends, John and Michael, were walking round London without a penny in their pocket and looking for somewhere to sleep.
They came to a very narrow street called Dove Street and they saw an empty house there. They went in. The house was dark, frightening and cold.
They went up stairs and they arrived at the top of the house.
There was a room with two beds, and they decided to sleep there.
In the middle of the night, one of them, John woke up, because he heard footsteps coming upstarirs.
He Immediately, woke Michael up.
Shortly after, the door of the room opened very slowly and something without a body came in.
John was so frightened that he couldn't move. He only sat and watched the terrible thing. Meanwhile Michael started to run downstairs and out of the house. He found a policeman and they went to the house.
They couldn't find John. A few minutes later they looked through the window and they saw John in the garden, he was dead.
Did John jump out of the window?
Or did the strange thing push him?

The heeled-boots



Last su
mmer, I went to Amsterdam with my friends Misha and Leyla. We were supposed to stay there two weeks going to interesting places, knowing people… We were living in a really good hostel near the centre of the city, and all was amazing since the 16th of July. That day one tall fair-haired old man came to me in the reception of the hostel. He was curiously wearing two big heeled-boots, and asked us if we were models. We laughed a little bit and I quickly answered: - Yes! - What? – exclaimed Leyla and Misha - Yes we are. – I didn’t know the reason, but I was making it up. Then, the man gave to me the keys of a Ferrari that was parked, and a paper with an address written xxx. We reacted running fast to the car and driving it to the direction he had given to us. It was a house in another quarter of the city. Leyla and Misha went in, asking for the man and I waited for them outside, in my new Ferrari. Finally, after three hours they didn’t return, so I entered there. The girl of the reception said to me that she hadn't see anybody, and when I got out, the Ferrari wasn’t there. I started getting nervous, and I decided to search some little alley around the house. There, I saw my friends dead behind the window. I began to run, but suddenly I saw two big heeled-boots in front of me. I shouted a great whistle and I started to cry… [Here you have the new composition, about the structure of page 63,I hope you like it.]

A dangerous parcel?

I was getting for work when the bell rang. It was the postman bringing me a very peculiar parcel. I made a signature in a paper and he left my home. I stayed three or four minutes looking at it, I wasn’t waiting for any box, and I didn’t know what it could be.
I took a look at the clock, I was late! Iput the package on my night table and I went running to work.

The days, was being normal, as any day I’ve lived. And I didn’t think anymore in the parcel.

At half past nine I arrived home. I still didn’t remember the box and I went, as any day, to have a shower.
When I got out of the shower everything was normal, I put my pyjamas and I went to have something for dinner.
Later, when I had already had dinner, I sat on the sofa to watch the television. But in a quarter hour I fell asleep.
I got up in a half our, or this was what I thought, I had a look at the clock and I had a surprise, it was half pas two at the morning! I went to my bedroom to sleep in my bed but when I came in, I saw something brilliant in my night table. I had a big surprise, my heart started to beat hard, and then, searching in my mind, I remembered the postman and the parcel. I calmed down, but there was something suspicious in the parcel. I went cautiously and slowly to my night table. My heart started to beat hard another time, I picked the box with my hands and I started to open it cautiously.
When it was opened a calmed music started to sound, and I started to laugh; it was a song box!

Bar "la terrasaa"

Yesterday, Xicu, Cesar and I went to search some localications for our thriller.
At four o'clock, we were ready in front of Cesar's house and we had a list with some places for go.
First we went to cementery, and we located a place for recording.
Then, we went around the dose of Talarn, in the old, closed restaurant-pub “la terrassa-el quiosc”.
This installation is left since the building of the new road. It's a nice place, very nice place like a rocks on the water. And the view is one of the best of Pallars.
We had the idea, of recording one of the scenes in this place.
The photo isn't from the bar!!!

My Sunday

Cesar, Macaya and my comes to the terrasa of susterris and the cementery for record the film. At nine o’ clock come to home and this is my Sunday.

Your writings

Hi my dear, it seems there has been a problem with your writing tasks. You were supposed to write a story following the guidelines we discussed last Friday on page 63 of your students books, and not what you just decide to write about. You see, we are learning to write different types of documents, and each of them has a specific way to do it, so please try to follow the guidelines and be more attentive in class, so as to understand that when I say the topic is free, it doesn't mean that the form is also free. A narrative is a story that starts, progresses and finishes, and uses certain expressions and linking words. You must learn to write narratives, letters, opinion essays, etc following a specific pattern which will be of a great help next year when you deal with your selectivitat paper. Try to do your best and follow my advise.

Bad Drugs

I want to talk about the different drugs and these drugs are associated with some society collectives. One of these collectives is the TEKNO and some people said about them that it is a drugged collective. & Is truth that in Teknoparties you can find some types of drugs but & is in you election to try these.
The first drug and the most common in these parties is the cocaine it’s so hard because it destroy de neurons, but in comparison of the others it is a children game. The other unsuitable ting is the elevate vice that it provokes on we.
Ketamine is other of the drugs that people find on raves and for me it is the worst,& it destroys your neurons fastest than others and you become a zombie man.
And final, the speed, that with the name said accelerate you body in extreme and takes you a good sensation. The unsuitable is that your body become sick.

A bad weather prevision.

The Sun was shining when we left the mountain hostel at 7:00am. It was a very nice day, possibly the best day since we started our hiking route. The cow horn, a high peak near the refuge was our objective. Our group, whose components were the French man in the hostel, a tall and sportive woman, Elisa, my girlfriend, and I started the excursion.

At 12:00 am we were arriving at the cow horn. It was a critic point of the excursion. There we have to decide the rest of the route. The original idea we had was to continue to the Brave Horse Valley, where there was a very good hostel, but from the top of the Cow Horn we saw a cloudy and rainy weather in the walk to this valley. Because of that, we chose the other option. We turned on west to the Wuthering Lake Zone. Near Wuthering Lake there was another Hostel, it was smaller, and it hadn’t got hot water showers, but we chose it.

We started descending to the Wuthering Valley. In spite of its name, it wasn’t clowdy or rainy at first. The weather was sunny and warm, ideal for a good walk. But two hours later, about 2:00pm, the weather changed and it started to rain a lot. We where too far from the hostel, so we had to run a lot.

At that moment we run into a man, he looked so strange, but he guided us to the hostel. He said us that he was the guard of the hostel, and he was coming back there. He was responsible to take care of the animals in the area, so he was curing a brown bear. When we arrived there we heard on the radio : “ As it was predicted, the bad weather that was on the Brave Horse Valley during the morning traveled to the Wuthering lake on the afternoon.

Lottery

Like every Tuesday, we finished the classes at one o’clock, and then we had free time. We were the same girls that come back to our homes, and all the Tuesdays we stopped at the Lottery place and bought some “rasca” that cost 0’50€ or 1’00€, but it doesn't matter if we win or not, it’s simple the custom of the Tuesdays. But we never won.
But these Tuesday was different, we were returning slowly to our homes, and we stopped and bought four rascas.
We started to scratch girl by girl, and when I started to scratch, suddenly I saw the prize of 3000€, I won!! All the girls were fascinated, it was amazing! I thought, it would be better to share the prize. We made a travel, and I spent the rest of the money as well as I could.

If I been a politican...

If I had the oportunity to be a politician, I would win the elections. I would obligate some people to build a house like The White House only for me and my work people. Then, I would go to the poor countries of the world and I would give some money, a little part of my money to the poor.
I’d buy a car if I had a lot of money. To win the elections I would do that the richest people would pay a little quantity of money and this would be for the poor people and for the 3r world people who are very poor, too.
If I were an important politic, I would give more oportunities to young people to buy a house, a flat, a car, ... and I would give more money for research of illness.

Village or city

As you know, I’m from Pobla, some days I think I’m lucky for live in here, because maybe it could be worse, but I think here I’m wasting the time. Villages are boring, unless you are a grandma, or grandpha, or maybe if you have your husband/wife and you’ll have children, but for teenagers, it’s quite similar all the days.
We can’t do anything special, specialy in winter. From my point of view, Pobla is great in summer, where you can do a lot of things, for example; go to the river, the lake, the swimming pool, in general you can do more exciting things than the city, but in winter, in Pobla returns the tedium. All the people in the village are at home, and the only thing we can do is going to ski, or going out with your friends to have a coffee or a drink at night.

But I’m the kind of person, that think “where you go, you’ll have good time, if you have a good sense of humour, or good friends, or nice day… or…whatever you want..” like the song : Don’t worry, be happy.

Living in a town or in a city

Living in a town like La Pobla de Segur is fun in its own way. There are many activities for Teens, but if you have a park for children, an old pool and rooms recreation for the elderly, who do not want to stay in home without doing anything, but in the end is okay. But I would like to go to a city, to see the difference in place to meet new people, new places, and fun different… but never forget my people and they are great friends and I hope that always are. But the people are nicer, calmer and not as much stressing in the city.

Being young in a mountain village

Some people say that it's difficult to be young in a mountain village. I think that they are wrong, because living in a mountain village has got of course disadvantages for the youth, but the advantages are more important than them.

The principal advantage that we’ve got in a mountain village is our freedom. Since we are very little children we can go out alone, without any adults, and, of course, we can go out at night younger than young people who lives in the city, which aren't allowed to do that.

Another advantage is the contact with the nature. We are very near it, and if you love, like me, hiking and cycling and other sports in the nature, you can practice that. You only have to do two metres and you are in the middle of the nature.

I said that there are disadvantages for the youth in la Pobla. First of all, we haven’t got a lot of things to do here. We can’t play exotic sports, we can’t go to a good cinema or to good discos, we can’t assist to a concert of our favorite music star, we haven’t got good shops… If you want to do all these things you have to move to a bigger place, like Lleida or Barcelona.

Another disadvantage is our future. If we want to study a University degree we have to move to another city, because we can’t commute to Lleida each day with public transport, and some young people haven’t got car, and the same if we want to work in a good job related with our studies, we have to move to other places, because a lot of qualified careers aren’t offered in our area.

But in spite of these disadvantages, I think that la Pobla is a good place for live, and I’m very well here.

I like living in la Pobla de Segur

I like living in la Pobla de Segur because it is more quiet and there isn't pollution. In a village every body know you; however, in a big city you can walk by the street and nobody says anythink to you. The avantatges of living in a city are there is & cinema, hospitals, shops and lot of places to go. on the other side, there isn't forest, mountains and lakes. The advantatges of living in a village is that you can stay in the street quiet, climb in the mountain, ride horse, skiing and rafting.
In conclusion, I prefer living in a village because the vision is more beautiful and it is safer because there isn't violence and drugs.

Village or city

I’m love living in the village because the city is more stressing, and in the village & is more calm, although in the city there are many but things: bars and discotecs, and more shopping centres, but the village is more beautiful because there are many mounts and everything is green.
In conclusion, I’m prefer the village because is better than the city, love the mounts and the green colour.

TOWNS vs VILLAGES

I think that make a decision about this is so hard because the two options have his advantages and disadvantages.
For example in a city you can find more services in less time than in a village, but if you have children in a small village they can play on the street without dangers.
Other examples are the pollution that you breathe in a town; in a village you hadnt it. Good for the cities are the parties that the people make in it's and more examples.
But my conclusion about this answer is the solution that a lot of people are using now, from Monday to Friday on the city and the weekends in the village.
