My favourite film.

My favourite kind of film are horror films, because their plot are very interesting and when you see an horror movie you have a lof of tension and you get frights.
            See a horror film can be funny too if you’re watching it with a friend, and when the film is in total silence you can shout and put your hand in your friend’s shoulder. Your friend will shout too, that’s funny!
            I love “Room 1408”, because I love the plot, and it has a lot of frights on it. John Cussack, the principal character, is one of my favourite actors, too.

            The film I’m going to talk about is V for Vendetta. V for Vendetta it’s a thriller. The story starts the 4th of November in a fictitious future, where England is governed by a fascist regime, whose name is Norsefire and whose leader it’s Adam Sutler. Evey Hammond, who works for the British Television Network, has been attacked by four members of the secret police, and V saves her. V sends a message by the British Television Networks asking the people to go with him the 5th of November of the next year when he will destroy the Parliament.  

I think you’re going to enjoy the film like I did. It’s a bit strange film, but it’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen. 

Future.

One day, I will be 20 years old. I will be studying and living in Granada with my friends. On my free time, I want to work as a baby sitter or something like that, because I don’t want to my parents pay all of my spenses. In summer, when I finish he university, I will travel as much as I’ll can. I’ll go to France, to Italy, to London and to Chicago. I will taste the typical food of all the countries I will travel to, and I’m going to see all the places I can. I’ll travel to Holland and Denmark too.

But when I’ll be here in Spain, I want to go to a lot of concerts. I don’t want to die without have seen my favourite band from the first line. I’ll be the happiest person in the world if I would do all of these things.

In my future, I will fulfil my dreams, and I’ll live in France for two or three years. When I’ll live there, I’m going to dye my hair, and it will be blonde.

I want a lot of photos of my youth, because, when I’ll an old-woman, I want to see my albums and smile, because I would have the most wonderful life in the world, because I would fulfilled my dreams, and I will be proud of myself.

Really, I want the simplest thing of the world. I want to study. Then, I want to work, I want to have my own house… I want to live my own life.

I would like to have a person that takes care of me. A husband. Or a wife, who knows, the life is very strange, and we’re always changing. I’ll have a family. I’ll get married and I’ll have two children. A girl whose name will be Anna, and a boy whose name will be Edward.

And I will win the lottery. I will be rich. Because if I achieve have all of this, nobody would be richer than me. I have a simple objective in the life, which is be happy. And nobody would make me unhappy, because nobody can hurt me. I’m strong. And I will be strong during all my life.

I don’t want to make a plan of my future, because this will be spontaneous, like me, like you, like us… 

Save your planet!

I say hello to everybody. Today, I’m going to talk about something very serious. All of we know that the state of the planet is a matter which concerns all of we, because we live on the Earth, and we’ve to keep it alive. The arson attacks, the deforestation, the extinction of the animals and plants… that’s a huge problem, and we have to make something for fix it.
But in many cases, the problem doesn’t reside in our actions. It resides in other people. People who set fire to the forests, industries that throw garbage to rivers and all of these kinds of people. We have to finish with this. We have to finish with all of these actions, because they are killing the planet and, therefore, they are killing us. Because the government washes their hands. So it is to Madame Justice that I dedicate this concerto, in honor of her holiday that is sadly no longer remembered and in recognition of the impostor that stands in her stead.

So I have to do my bit for the world. Talking about the pollution, I’m always going to go walking, and if I need it, by bus. Because the gases of the vehicles raise the greenhouse effect and it’s the cause of global warming.

Next step is the water. The water is a scant resource. There is a lot of water in the planet, that’s right. But it’s water of the oceans, and we can’t drink it. We can’t take a shower with this water. So we have to be aware of this problem, because it’s a big problem too. What can we do for save water? That’s easy. Close the tap when you don’t need to keep it open. Make sure that your washing machine is full when you’re going to turn it on and do the same with the dish washer. That’s basically.

The most important thing from my point of view, it’s the littering on the forests. If you litter a crystal bottle, you can set fire to a forest! You have to throw the litter on a litter bin, or take it to home and throw it in your bin. But you mustn’t throw litter on a forest.

Please believe me, because I’m not joking, and you have to keep your home clean. Let’s make the world a good place for our sons. Because I want to live in a wonderful place and I don’t want to set the world on fire. 

My favourite dish

I love eat. I think that eat it’s the most important thing in the life of a person. So I want to tell you how to cook Southern Comfort Ice Cream Pie.

First of all, we need:
-2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts
-1/4 cup white sugar
-6 tablespoons melted butter
-3/4 cup coarsely chopped cashews
-1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts
-6 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
-2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
-2/3 cup hot duge topping
-1/4 cup chocolate shell topping

When we’ve all the ingredients, we follow the next steps: 

1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts, sugar and melted butter until well blended. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
2. Combine chopped cashews and 1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts; set aside. In a large bowl, mix ice cream with peanut butter; set aside.
3. Spread half of hot fudge topping in bottom of crust. Sprinkle with 1/3 of nut mixture. Spread half of ice cream in an even layer. Repeat layers. Drizzle with shell topping and sprinkle with remaining nuts. Freeze for at least 5 hours before serving.

Now, taste it. Do you like it? I know, that’s my favourite dish! 

How go to the town hall from the school.

Here X again. Now, I’m going to tell you how you can go to the town hall from my school, so, let’s start. First of all, we are in the front door of the high school. In front of us, there is the parking, where people parks. We cross by the zebra crossing, of course, and we walk across the parking. On the right, there is the beach and a door to go to the port, but we don’t want to go there, so we turn to left, and we go straight by the sidewalk. While we’re walking, on the right we can see a park with grass, a slide, a few swings, benches and a drinking fountain. When the park finish, there is a zebra crossing.
We go straight. Now, we have two ways. At left, there is another zebra crossing, and go straight we’ll see the Club Náutico, the bus station and the port, but we’re going to go by the zebra crossing. Now, we see a huge square, and on the left, there is a huge roundabout which consists in a fountain with three ships. We walk across the square, and we can see the village’s tower, and a stairs to climb up, but they don’t take us to the town hall, so we turn right and we go straight.
Now, we see shops, and we arrive at a zebra crossing. We go straight, and on the right, there is a huge green space with a lot of trees, bushes and benches. We go straight, we cross the street and we go straight by the sidewalk. Then, we have to cross again. We see supermarkets, shops… Then, we arrive at the cultural centre. Here, people take lessons of how to play the guitar, how to paint, how to draw, how to sing…  We go straight, and a few minutes later, we’ll see the taxi stand. We go straight and we’re now in the town hall!

What do you think? It was very easy, right? 

My last summer holidays.

Hi again! Now, I’m going to talk you about my last holidays.
Last summer, I was in La Alcazaba with my friends. First day, we woke up at 10:00, we had breakfast and we made trekking by the mountain. We saw a lot of insects, that was really interesting. We saw a lot of animals too, and that were places which were too difficult to cross. That was dangerous, but really funny. When we arrived at home, we were very tired, so we had dinner and we went to sleep.
Next day, we woke up at 14:00. We were really tired. We took a shower, we had breakfast and we went to Adra walking. The distance between La alcazaba and Adra is 6 kilometres. In Adra, we went shopping, we saw the green places, we played at the parks… We hadn’t saw a place like Adra in our whole lives! We loved Adra a lot. But we had to go before the nightfall. In the return, we saw a snake and a hasty bird. That was disgusting!  When we arrived at La Alcazaba, we played hide-and-seek without light. That was really funny.
On Wednesday, we went to the beach. We ate there, and we played hide and seek again, but this time with light. We’ve a lot of fun. Then, we were fishing, and we decided to sleep on the beach, so we went to home, we took dry towels and we came back to the beach. We didn’t sleep that night. At first, we were scared, because we listened a lot of strange noises like crickets and owls. So we were talking until the sun was shinning in the sky.
We returned to home, where we had breakfast. That breakfast was the best. We ate toasts with tuna, tomatoes, oil… we ate caramel spread, I don’t know, that was a mess.
And that afternoon, we had to go home again. 

My style.

I’ve already talked about me, about my family, about my house, about my routine… but I haven’t talked about my favourite music, my favourites TV shows and all of this.
First, I’m going to talk about music. I like a lot of types of music, so I can’t talk about a style, but I’m going to talk about singers and music bands. When I feel sad, I listen to noisy music or calm and sad music, t depends. When I feel happy, I listen to everything. And when I’m full of love and happiness, I listen to beautiful songs that make me more happy.
I love French music, as I said before. And I’m listening to this almost every time.

And, talking about the TV shows… I don’t watch the TV, but there are TV series that I love so much, like Aquí no hay quién viva, 7 Vidas or Los Quién. They are comedian series, and there are actors I love on them.

Aquí no hay quién viva tells the story of a community of residents. The block of flats is in the Desengaño’s street, and it has three flats with a loft, a garbage room, an electricity meter room, an internal patio and a video club.

7 Vidas tells the story of a group of friends. There are a bar and the flats. It’s very funny, I really like that, because it always make me laugh.

Los Quién tells the story of the first divorce in Spain. The characters are:
Gustavo, which is the father of the family and he is who get divorced from Susana. He is romantic, faithful, neurotic and pedantic. He wants to start again with Susana.
Susana, which is the mother of the family and she is who get divorced from Gustavo. She is pragmatic, realistic, insecure and frustrated. She is who asks to Gustavo for the divorce.
Julia, which is the Susana and Esteban’s mother. She is rude, ironic, and unfriendly. She’s the owner of a lottery shop.
Esteban, the Susana’s brother. He is kind, affectionate and dumb. Esteban wants to make up the time he wasted while he was in the seminary.
Candela, the Susana’s best friend. She is funny, superstitious, eccentric and she falls in love very easily. She has a son, Eloy. She wants a perfect man for her and for her son.
Tino, a Gustavo’s friend. He is a go-getter. He is fun-loving, sexist and cheeky. His objective are women.
Paula, Susana and Gustavo’s only child. She is intelligent, mature, ironic and unruly.
Chesca, a Paula’s friend. She is positive, funny, gossip and shallow. She wants to be an artist.
Eloy, the Candela’s son. He is intelligent, asocial, shy and freak.

I love horror films, and that’s enough for today.

My routine

Hello. Today, I’m going to talk you about my routine. First of all, as I’ve said, I love the routine. I need it. So, here is mine.
I wake up at 7:30. I jump out of the bed, I turn on the computer and I put a song. It has to be a very good song, because it’s the first song of the day, and it’s very important to me, because it have to give me strength for the day. While I’m listening to the song, I get dress, and I have breakfast. Then, I brush my teeth, I turn off the computer, I take my schoolbag and I go to high school.
At 14:45, I go home, and I arrive at home at 15:00. I leave my schoolbag, I take the dog and I go to my grandmother’s house for eating. When I finish, I return to home. I turn on the computer, I surf the net and I do my homework. I’m always listening to music while I’m doing them. When I’ve finished all my homework, I enjoy my free time. I read, I play videogames, I surf the net, I write… It depends on the day.
At 20:00, I’m going to ride my bike with my friends, and I arrive at home at 22:00, more or less.
I take a shower, I have a dinner, I surf the net and I’m going to sleep.

On the weekend, I wake up at 11:00, but there are days that I wake up at 14:00. I don’t do anything on weekends. I spend all the time reading books, listening to music, surfing the net, playing videogames, going out with my friends, playing with my dog, watching the TV… I don’t know. There are a lot of things you can do on weekend. I often go to the cinema with my friends, I go shopping too…

I don’t know what can I say now, so bye bye!

My home.

I live in a village which is in the south of the country. It has a big population, and they make a lot of noise. I haven’t any opinion of the village. The only thing I know is that I want to go out of here. But, talking objectively, there are 20 or 30 places to eat, 5 o 6 green spaces and a lot of parks.
My house is near of the west entrance of the city. I live in a block of flats which is between a bar and an herbalist’s. My house is in the third flat. First, you see the hall and a woman’s statue. In the left, there is the living room. In the living room, there are two sofas, the television, one desk and the computer over it. There are two crystal tables too. One of the tables is in front of the TV, and it’s like a coffee table. It has a vase in the middle and three photos around it. In the photos, there are my cousin, my brother and my parents. The other table is at the back of the room. It’s a long crystal table with eight or nine chairs around it. It’s the table where we eat when we have guests.
In the living room, there is a door which takes you to my parent’s room. In my parent’s room, in front of the door, there is their bed. It’s a big bed with a white beautiful bedspread. On both sides of the bed, there are the bedside tables, with a table lamp on them. On the right, there is a white wardrobe, with a mirror in each door. It has four doors. On the right of the entrance, there is a white chest of drawers where my mother puts her jewelry, her photos with my father and some things like that. And finally, on the left of the entrance, there is a white bookcase with books, albums and all of this.
Ok, we go to the front door again. If you walk a little, on the left there is the kitchen. The kitchen has one table, six chairs, one big freezer, one fridge with freezer compartment, a lot of cupboards, the dishwasher, the sink, the microwave, the kettle and the worktops.
In the kitchen there is a door which takes you to the pantry. In the pantry, there is a big cupboard where we put the food, and in the other cupboard we put the stuff for cleaning. Next to the cupboard, there are the washing machine and the tumble dryer.
We back to the hall. At the end, we turn to the left, and there is the bathroom. The bathroom has two closets where we put the medicines, the cotton, the surgical spirit, the brushes, the hairsprays and the varnishes. There are the washbasin, the toilet, the bidet, the bath and a radiator too. Behind the door, there is a coat hook where we hang the bathrobes. We go out of the bathroom.
On the right hand, there is a long corridor. It has paintings in the wall, and in the left side, there are pieces of furniture. At the end of the corridor, you turn to the right, and there is my brother’s bedroom. It has a big bookcase, one desk where he does his homework and puts his laptop, a big bed with a black bedspread, three chairs, one armchair and one fitted wardrobe. On the walls, there are posters.
We go out to my brother’s bedroom, and on the right hand, at the end of the long corridor, there is my room. On my room, I’ve a lot of things. First, we see the desk, where there is my computer, and where I do my homework. My desk has four drawers. My drawers are a mess, because I put everything on them without any order. In front of the desk, right up against the wall, there is a piece of furniture, and I don’t know its name. It’s a plank which has a glued mirror and, on the left there are two shelves. In the first shelf, I’ve a piggy bank, varnishes, a Team Rocket’s picture and a baby shoe where I put pencils, pens, markers an scissors. In the second shelf, I have a perfume, a deodorant, a small box and a picture of the Japan’s flag. Then, there is my bookcase, where I have a lot of books, my bed with a violet bedspread, my wardrobe and the hamster’s cage on the bedside table. In the wall, there are a calendar, a clock with Bart Simpson on it, a poster with the Eiffel Tower on it, a French flag and drawings and photos.
That’s all.

Me, myself and I


First of all, I’m going to talk about myself. You can call me X, and I’ve one, three, four, five… years, it doesn’t matter. Because you’re going to listen to my likes and dislikes, the town I live and many things like that, so you don’t need to know how many years I am and anything it’s not interesting.

            I live in Spain. When we talk about countries, a lot of people ask if you’re proud to live there. Well, certainly I’m not proud, and that doesn’t mean I hate Spain. I’m not proud because I think that the proud only is good for discuss in most of the cases, and I think if all the countries would be together, there wouldn’t have problems about the people’s colour, and all of this. But, even so, I wouldn’t be proud of my country. I don’t know how to explain that, but… it’s the place where I live. I can be happy or not, but I can’t be proud, because it’s manage for people who can change each four years. The country can change even if the prime minister it’s the same person. So I can’t be proud of something that would change anytime.

            Ok, next. Now, the things I like. I like to meet interesting people, and talk with them about everything we know, because I love to learn from people, and I love people learn from me.  
I like to write. I write how I feel, I write the moments, and I write everything I see, because almost everything looks interesting for me. Every minute I’m thinking about what and how can I write. Then, at home, I give expression to what I was thinking, and if I like it, I save that. And if I don’t like it, I delete that. That’s easy. Talking about that, I’ve a personal diary where I write everything, and in my diary, I can write names without fear, because only people I want will read this.
I like the high school. I like because I need a routine. And because in the high school it’s where I found ideas for write.
And I’ve left the best for the end. I love France and everything related to that country. The places, the language, the music… And I can’t explain how I feel with regard to this country. I think that these feelings started when I listened to the language for the first time. I loved it immediately. And think about it always makes me happy.  

Now, my dislikes. I hate insects. Cockroaches, ants, bees… I don’t mind.
I hate lies. I can’t stand them.
There aren’t many things I don’t like, so next step.

I don’t want to talk about my family. I’m just going to say that I’ve a mother, a father and a brother. A dog. A hamster. And a turtle. And I’ve to say that my parents have a enterprise of ecological vegetables, and you can buy there! Ok, I had to publish them.

And that’s all what you need to know. See you!

Introduction.

Remember remember, the fifth of november, the gunpowder treason and plot, I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
