<i><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">What can you tell me of this character, the book or its writer? What's the connection with Edinburgh? and with Wales?</span></span></i></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">To start with, Harry Potter is a series of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. It is well known in all the world, it is a very successful novel. The first novel was published on 26th June in 1997 and its name was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Since then, six more novels have been published, the latest one was published in 2007. It is one of the best seller novels in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The main character of the novel is Harry Potter, who is an orphan boy that hopes to be a wizard. He is admitted to a school of magic in Hogwarts, where he can learn spells and charms and he likes riding a broom. The plot of the story is about the struggle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, who had killed Harry Potter’s parents.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The author of the novel is J. K. Rowling, who is a very famous British writer. She was born in England in 1965. When she was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary she came up with the idea of writing Harry Potter. She has written other novels under a different pseudonym such as The Cuckoo’s Calling or Career of Evil. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for the connection of Harry Potter with Edinburgh and Wales, I think that it has a connection with Edinburgh because the author wrote the first Harry Potter novel in a café in Edinburgh whose name is The Elephant House. Rowling has also lived in Wales when she was nine. Some characters of Harry Potter have influences of Wales too.</div>

is a personalized graphical illustration that represents a computer user. It is
usually represented in two-dimensional form, but it can also be represented in
a three-dimensional form in some games. They are used in blog, forums, games,
social networks…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">One of the
earliest avatars was created in 1979 in a computer game whose name was Avatar,
it is a role-playing computer game. Since then, a lot of people have created
their own avatar to play in computer games, they create it to preserve their identity.
If you don’t want anybody to see a personal photo of you, you have the
opportunity of using an avatar.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Furthermore,
I’ve read that avatars also show your personality, but it depends on the way
you use them. If you use avatars, you probably have different ones depending on
the social app that you are using it. Avatars can show our emotional state, for
example, if you are happy, you will probably want to have an avatar with a
smile on the face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Personally,
I have done the quiz of the article and it says that I am extrovert and I think
it is right. In my opinion, avatars are a good way to preserve our privacy
since we can create an avatar instead of posting a personal photograph.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is a good period to go shopping since we often give our friends or family some
presents as we celebrate the arrival of Santa Claus and of the Three Wise Men.
We also like to receive many presents so that it is probably the moment of the
year in which people spend more money. There are several points to consider.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On the one
hand, there are families that love spending money at this season because they
want to decorate their house or they want to give a lot of presents to their
children and family. These families may think that spending money on gifts is
the best way to make children happy, but it is a big problem because children
will get used to having many present the following years. Furthermore, there
are some kids that are used to being given very expensive gifts.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On the
other hand, there are families who don’t spend a lot of money because they
can’t afford it or just because they think it is a waste of money. If parents
can’t buy anything, children shouldn’t get angry or sad since it will affect
the state of mind of parents because they don’t want to see their family sad.
For that reason, even if parents can buy a lot of presents to their children,
they shouldn’t do that as kids will become sad if they can’t have a present the
next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To conclude,
giving gifts to family or friends is a sign of affection since they will
realize that we remember them. However, if we don’t have enough money to buy a
present we can always send them an email or a letter to wish them Happy
Christmas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">In the latest few years, more and more children ask their parents to buy them a mobile phone for their birthday or as a Christmas present. It is probably because they see their parents or friends using them for several hours, they don’t have the necessity of having a mobile phone at their age. However, mobiles phones have advantages and disadvantages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://trymobilespy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/parental-control-review-spy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="684" height="210" src="https://trymobilespy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/parental-control-review-spy.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US">On the one hand, mobiles phones won’t be useful for children unless their parents control the time that their children spend with it or what they are using it for. For example, parents shouldn’t allow them to play on the mobile phones for hours since they could get addicted to them and they would rather prefer to spend the time in front of the screen than going out with friends and doing some exercise. As a consequence, they will have health problems like obesity or eye problems.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On the other hand, if kids and parents use smartphones with responsibility, it will be a good way to improve their knowledge. To my mind, parents should show them videos or apps in which they can learn new vocabulary or discover new things about the world, it will help them to get better mark at school since they will have more information about what they are studying. Moreover, learning through videos or interactive displays is funnier for kids than reading a book, which is probably boring for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To sum up, using a smartphone at an early age can be helpful if it is used with responsibility. In my opinion, many parents are not concerned about the risk of using a mobile phone for hours so that they allow their children to spend all the afternoon playing on it. If I were father, I would only lend my children a smartphone to find something they need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span lang="EN-US">In our time, most teenagers like playing video games with friends or family and they probably don’t know that there are some video games which can improve mental health. It is such good news! However, not all games help your mental health since there are so many types of games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://img.haikudeck.com/mg/47C88838-D1ED-4878-BD99-3069FE82212E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://img.haikudeck.com/mg/47C88838-D1ED-4878-BD99-3069FE82212E.jpg" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US">On the one hand, games like Tetris have proved that people who had an accident which affected their mental health have recovered thanks to this game. These people played during a quarter of hour when they were at hospital, but they also read the newspaper or watched TV. Why does this game improve our health? It is because you need to use your mind to find what is the best place to let the block down in a short time.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On the other hand, there are some types of game in which you don’t need to use your mind because there is no mental exercise. This type of games is maybe the most played since most teenagers prefer having fun without the necessity of thinking about what they are doing so that they play for hours. These games don’t always improve health, they actually can be dangerous as they could get addicted and they spend all the time in front of the screen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To my mind, we have to alternate the type of games we play in our free time. For instance, we could play fifteen minutes to an educational game and other fifteen minutes to play the other one. What’s more, I think all games should include some mental exercise in order to improve the</span> player’s health.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">What is a couch potato? It is a person who spend a lot of time watching television because they are probably addicted to it. And as a consequence they don’t have an active life since they prefer to stay at home regarding series or films rather than going out with friends to do any exercise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.inglesnapontadalingua.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/couch-potato.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="291" data-original-width="500" height="186" src="https://www.inglesnapontadalingua.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/couch-potato.png" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US">This people usually are very lazy as they don’t want to do anything, they only want to lie on the sofa for all the day. They can easily have health problems such as obesity because they don’t want to play any sport, which is a good way to get fitter since you have fun as you can play with friends at the same time that you are doing physical exercise. They probably don’t do sport since they have never practice any sports and they think it is boring.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As for solutions, I think that friends of a couch potato should show them that doing sport is not boring and insist them to take up a sport. For instance, if all of them like football they can take part of a football team in the city where they live. By doing so, the couch potato will need to go training some days and he will be less dependent on television.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Personally, I think that I am not a couch potato since I don’t like much watching TV, I prefer going out with my friends for walking, hanging out or playing football. If I had a friend who were a couch potato, I would encourage him to stop watching television for all the day and going out with friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US">1-In your English class you have been talking about the importance of team work. Now your English teacher has asked you to write an essay.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span lang="EN-US">Write an essay using all the notes and give reasons for your point of view.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">There are times when it is better to do things with other people and times when it is better to be on your own. I’m going to write about team work.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Firstly, team work has a great importance at school. We often have to do projects at school and teachers give us the opportunity of doing it in groups. It has some advantages, for instance, we can divide the work. On the contrary, sometimes there is a person who doesn’t want to do anything and he prejudices the group. If the group works together, it will finish the work sooner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Secondly, team work is such a necessary thing in sports like football, basketball or even in athletics. In this sports, all the team needs to be united and helps each other to achieve victory. In contrast, there are sports in which you play alone and you don’t depend on anyone so that you have the whole responsibility.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In addition, team work can help you to be more sociable or to lose your shame. If you are very shy, team work may change your mind since you will have to talk with the group and have a good relationship in order to succeed. I think team work is useful if all the group works together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Smoking is one of the main problems to our health in all the world. What’s more, many young people are getting the habit of smoking, they are may unaware of the problems they could have. Should smoking be illegal?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On the one hand, smoking can produce cancer, which is the main problem of death at the current time. Smokers usually think they won’t have problems, although they see some advertisements which say that smoking can end with your life.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">On the other hand, people who are not smokers and are sited next to a smoker are affected by them and become passive smokers. For this reason, smoking in public places shouldn’t be allowed since there are children and they can have health problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Furthermore, addiction to smoke is so important too, because many adolescents start smoking as a game and then, they get addicted. They will only depend on smoking and they will have difficulty to give up smoking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In my opinion, smoking should be made illegal because it doesn’t have any benefit in our health so that the government must ban the sale of cigarettes in our country. Only in this way, people will stop smoking and our lives will improve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Notes:</b><br />
<b>1-bad grades at school</b><br />
<b>2-no social life</b><br />
<b>3- (your own idea)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">More and more young people are getting addicted to playing computer games and we need to help them to overcome this addiction. There are several points to consider.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To begin with, playing computer games all the time can affect the grades at school. If they spend all the day with the computer, they won’t have enough time to study or to do homework so that they will have worse grades at school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Another big problem of this addiction is that they prefer being in front of the screen than going out with their friends. As a consequence, they will lose friends and they will be alone with the computer, they won’t have social life, which is very important at this age.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In addition, they could have health problems since they don’t do exercise and they usually eat snack whereas they are playing. They could have problems on the eyes too because of the light of the screen during a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We’ve decided to go to your academy since we want to improve our English. Nowadays, learning English properly is very important because it is essential to search for<span style="color: red;"> </span>a good job in our country or in a foreign country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">

both the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly
in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of
animals, the person who has this type of diet is named vegan. There are many
different opinions about veganism. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qPjY0sJgKIWbIns95zbxjIgPWQ2UJLysRSErZP915iTayZM3oPMOO5jFUgudJjMl6VceLgWVDENuBA9iwTq9v18IKP0yBFl6FeCrv0oPbn1_0osUaLisLwt2RvBnovncR3hrFDrh6HjY/s1600/veganism-written-on-wooden-sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the one
hand, people defend veganism. They say that this type of diet is very good for
our health since it is a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, they also
say that natural fruits or vegetables don't have additives that could produce
serious illness as cancer. I have read on the article that veganism can save
the planet because it reduces the consumption of meat, then, factories that
manufacture meat will reduce the gas emissions. Therefore, global warming and
other problems with the environment will be improved.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the
other hand, there are people that are against that. One of the main reasons is
that vegans can't get all vitamins and proteins necessary for their health
without eating food of animal origin. Another problem about veganism is that
there are parents who force their children to eat this type of diet and it can
be bad for the health since they still aren't developed. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In my
opinion, each person should choose what type of diet he wants to eat without
been obligated. All of us are responsible for what we eat and the consequences
for our heath.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Firstly, I'm going to write about terrorism, which is a current issue in all the world since almost every day there is an attack. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror for coercing societies or governments, used by a wide range of political organizations in promoting its objectives, both nationalist and non-nationalist political parties, right and left, as well as by corporations, religious, racist groups, colonialism, independence, revolutionary, and conservative governments in power.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nowadays there are terrorist acts in famous cities to draw the world's attention and to scare people, such as this attack in London or the one that took place in Paris, where they killed twelve members of newspaper Charlie Hedbo. They usually act in places where there are many people to cause maximum damage. However, in Spain, we haven't had these attacks recently. I think terrorism should not exist because innocent people die.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Secondly, I'm going to write about the Champions League final in which my favourite football team won. At the beginning of the match, I was nervous when Juventus scored a goal and the match was tied. Fortunately, Real Madrid scored three more goals and I wasn't nervous at all. They are the first team in winning the Champions League twice in a row.</span></span></div>

Showtime was a time in Los Angeles Lakers history when the National Basketball Association (NBA) team played an exciting run-and-gun style of basketball. Led by Magic Johnson's passing skills and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring, the team relied on fast breaks and won five NBA championships. It was such an explosive style that it became a sports phenomenon which brought many Hollywood stars to the Lakers games. It was a spectacle never seen in basketball before.<br />
<br />
Earvin Johnson (Magic Johnson) was born on 14th August, 1959. He was a basketball player and also a basketball coach. Magic Johnson studied at the university of Michigan, but in 1979 he left the university to play with Los Angeles Lakers. He won with Los Angeles Lakers five titles of the NBA. He helped the Lakers to become one of the most famous teams in the NBA. He was three times the Most Valuable Player of the NBA.<br />
<br />
In 1993 he left the Lakers, because he was diagnosed with AIDS. One year later he won the golden medal with the USA basketball team in the Olympic Games of Barcelona. His last season was the 1993-1994, when he showed again his talent.Joaquin Garcíahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473096279109740789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934147453961237785.post-15384763129915931272017-01-14T22:22:00.000+01:002017-01-14T22:22:41.557+01:00Our golden boy Calderón quits ÑBA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLBXqFKbjSJSDFcdWWeLfoLLOX3QpJD3oUF5eXEYgOLloCUY7MbqqtAtTqrFyjQdkz-z5o2c8IGafwo97t_w3pxFiJZ-bJ6Ja-CmiCFCJXqsRD2VPp9gLZ64gX6_AhKHjjDqo8cBw0TX33/s1600/Jose-Manuel-Calderon-retirada-seleccion_949115807_112131580_1432x1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLBXqFKbjSJSDFcdWWeLfoLLOX3QpJD3oUF5eXEYgOLloCUY7MbqqtAtTqrFyjQdkz-z5o2c8IGafwo97t_w3pxFiJZ-bJ6Ja-CmiCFCJXqsRD2VPp9gLZ64gX6_AhKHjjDqo8cBw0TX33/s320/Jose-Manuel-Calderon-retirada-seleccion_949115807_112131580_1432x1024.jpg" width="320" /></a>First of all, I'm going to write about José Manuel Calderón. Jose Manuel Calderón is one of the best players of basketball of Spain and the world. He was born on 28th September in Villa Nueva de la Serena, he is a real pride for the city and all the Autonomous Community of Extremadura. His main inspiration for basketball came from his father, who used to play basketball for his hometown's team. José Calderón used to enjoy seeing his father play, he accompanied him to his games.<br />
<br />
At present he is a basketball player of LA Lakers and he has retired from the Spanish national team, where he won a lot of trophies. For instance, he won the 2006 FIBA World Championship, the silver metal in the 2008 Olympics and another silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2011 he won a golden medal at the Eurobasket in Lituania. I've seen many games of Calderón in the Spanish national team and he plays so well, he is an incredible player! It is a pity that he is no longer going to play for the Spanish national team, although he only wants to concentrate in the LA Lakers.Joaquin Garcíahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473096279109740789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934147453961237785.post-40963705902920115822016-08-04T11:40:00.000+02:002016-08-04T11:41:27.160+02:00A foreigner in Britain<iframe width="100%" height="800" src="https://www.smore.com/kr07k-a-foreigner-in-britain?embed=1" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="min-width: 320px;border: none;"></iframe>Joaquin Garcíahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473096279109740789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934147453961237785.post-8134977182352350422016-04-09T15:50:00.000+02:002016-04-09T15:50:59.041+02:00My diary of Dublin<iframe id="iframe_container" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen="" width="800" height="500" src="https://prezi.com/embed/bwilzww21boz/?bgcolor=ffffff&lock_to_path=0&autoplay=0&autohide_ctrls=0&landing_data=bHVZZmNaNDBIWnNjdEVENDRhZDFNZGNIUE43MHdLNWpsdFJLb2ZHanI0ejFJSzFiS3VzeU9ZVGY4UUtWU2hWOWl3PT0&landing_sign=Ern3S159nOYTRrSFJBTPL5T7fPwBc9sdMncxeTisbHA"></iframe>Joaquin Garcíahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473096279109740789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934147453961237785.post-48978991404206643962016-02-27T19:24:00.000+01:002016-02-27T19:26:15.328+01:00MLK, a wise man to bear in mind<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Martin Luther King was born in Atlanta in 1929. His natal name was Michael King Sr, but after a trip with his family to Germany, Michael King Mr decided to change his own name to Martin Luther King, in honor of Martin Luther.<br />
<br />
I know a bit of Martin Luther King, I know he fought against racism to black persons.<br />
I’m going to talk about the incident of racism on a bus that is related to Luther King. A white man asked the black woman to yield him the seat of the bus, but she refused and she was arrested by the police. Because of this incident, Martin Luther King decided to initiate a protest in opposition to the racial segregation that his city was suffering. He told black people in the town to not use the bus until this racism was erradicated completely. Finally, one year after the beginning of the opposition against the racism on the buses, this type of racism was declared as illegal.<br />
<br />
In 1963, he headed with other 250,000 people, a march for improving the living conditions and integration of the black population in the south of the country. In this peace march he gave his famous speech “I have a dream ". On 14th October in1964, with only 35 years, he received the Nobel Prize on the Peace.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, on 4th April in 1968 he was murdered in Memphis's motel by James Earl Ray.Joaquin Garcíahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00473096279109740789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934147453961237785.post-60032511550674004822016-02-20T13:50:00.000+01:002018-01-06T13:17:08.339+01:00Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Brussels is the capital of Belgium and he biggest city in Belgium. It is also the principal administrative establishment of the European Union. Brussel is perfectly communicated by train to the main European capitals, for example: London, Paris and Amsterdam. In Brussel there are big international companies. Brussel is dangerous if you have got a sweet tooth, because in Brussel they make sweets that you can’t resist, for example the scent of emboss.</div>

<div>
Belgium is situated in the European northwest. Belgium is a multilinguistic state with three official languages: Dutch, French and a bit of German. It is one of the members of the European Union, which principal institutions are located in the country and there are other international organizations, as the NATO.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think that it is normal that Belgium was on high alert because of terrorism, because there are yihadists that can commit an outrage and a lot of people can die. In my opinion, this protection will avoid the death of people</div>

Robin Hood was a bandit who stole money from the rich people to give it to the poor. In the real life the legend says that he was a man called Robin Longstride, who had a great heart and lived in the Sherwood woods near the city of Nottingham. He fought against the sheriff of Nottingham.<br />

James Bond is a character created by the English novelist Ian Fleming in 1952. James Bond is a secret agent who has license to kill. In the novels and films James Bond, also called agent 007, has to carry out a secret mission and during the mission he has adventures.<br />

I listened to the two songs and I like the song by Adele the most.<br />

I live in a small town in the south of Spain. It is near the Mediterranean coast. Fifty years ago the town was very different.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSu9CD2TJNlMM_Mfg6v-gNSkZibXnDFKHkNWvI6Y6IdWPD0HaQeGjjVWxNeYX9lEaPisJrWnFZpGU3cUqso8Usgt223WgpXwP2yQxdErpOZdPQjNoRQLOngIPwjpyuAOiJZdSV7qQA-z1z/s1600/U4T2539-La-Compania.-Molvizar.-Granada..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSu9CD2TJNlMM_Mfg6v-gNSkZibXnDFKHkNWvI6Y6IdWPD0HaQeGjjVWxNeYX9lEaPisJrWnFZpGU3cUqso8Usgt223WgpXwP2yQxdErpOZdPQjNoRQLOngIPwjpyuAOiJZdSV7qQA-z1z/s320/U4T2539-La-Compania.-Molvizar.-Granada..jpg" width="320" /></a>My town was smaller. The buildings were old. There used to be a lots of small shops in Molvízar. Now there are fewer shops, but they are bigger and more modern. There didn’t use to be blocks of flats. Now there are big blocks of flats and big houses. There was a convent, which later became a Civil Guard Station. Now it is a museum. There used to be taverns where the old people used to go to play cards. Fifty years ago not all the people used to have a TV. Now all the people have a TV at home. Fifty years ago the town was filthy.<br />
<br />
Transport is very different too. People used to ride on a mule to go to other towns. Also there were a few taxis and buses. People didn’t use to have a car. Now most people have one. There used to be tracks. Now there are motorways. Now people usually go cycling.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvi7SeT3pMzL-S9sdjwBgvLuUf60Crg0kkarO6lObYTmTYYuWxdPAs1kSxn_XPDRPZIzJ14IDemS8DkrPyYaaj9DbvysXW-B-scdC1SsitUoqTHF30JOphdxBkiPOaYuKGtiLlGF7ElM2y/s1600/image_152578_jpeg_470x325_q85.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvi7SeT3pMzL-S9sdjwBgvLuUf60Crg0kkarO6lObYTmTYYuWxdPAs1kSxn_XPDRPZIzJ14IDemS8DkrPyYaaj9DbvysXW-B-scdC1SsitUoqTHF30JOphdxBkiPOaYuKGtiLlGF7ElM2y/s320/image_152578_jpeg_470x325_q85.jpg" width="320" /></a>My grandparents lived in the town fifty years ago. They say that life was very different. In Molvízar there were shepherds and many people were forwards. People used to pick up gropes, almonds and olives. The doctor used to go to the houses of the patients. Now you have to go to the health centre. At night neighbours used to meet in a house and there they used to tell stories. Children used to play with spin and the girls used to play with rag dolls. What a different life!<br />
<br />
In conclusion, life was very different. My grandfather thinks that life was better fifty years ago, because now children don’t go out to play and do sport, because they are always playing with their mobiles or they play video games. In my opinion life is better now, because technologies can help us.<br />
