My friend Denise is from Paris and she's one of the most important people in my life. She's sixteen years old, she's slim and medium height. She's got hazel eyes, long, brown and straight hair.
Denise is cheerful and talkative, she talks very quickly. In fact, the first time when I met her at the airport, she began to speak French fast and I didn't know anything. But now, we understand very well.
She plays piano perfectly and she dreams about becoming a great pianist. When I met her, she played my favorite song on piano, the song is Kiss the Rain .
Although I see her only in the holidays, we get on really well and we are like sisters. All in all, I think Denise is a great friend and the distance isn't so important for a friendship.

Chester
Okey! I want to introduce a famous musician. But he doesn't need introducing. He's my favourite singer. His name is Chester Bennington. He's an American musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Chester is 33 years old, he's normal growth. He's got very short dark hair and black eyes. He's very friendly and extraordinary. He sings in my favourite rock-band "Linkin Park". He's a lead vocalist.
Chester was born in Phoenix, Arizona. He took interest in music at a young age. Later he struggled with cocaine and methamphetamine. Bennington eventually overcame his drug addiction, and would go to denounce drug use in future interviews. He worked at a Burger King restaurant before starting his career as a profesional musician. Chester's voice is very emotional and powerful. He expressed his anger and madness by shrill, and he expressed his lyric songs by soft tone. However his lyric songs, always will affect your feelings. Also, Chester raises money with his friends of the rock-band for the poor children. For example, at their last world tour they raised a lot of money for children of American shelters. One day Chester sold his car in the U.S auction "eBay" for charitable purposes.
I choose this person because he's very strong and talanted. And not looking at his hard childhood, he could implement his dreams. He was able to find strenght to overcome his drug dependence. And he didn't forget about the people who need help like him in his childhood.

My interests
I want to tell you about my free time and how I spend it! One of my interests is football, football events and all details of it. I like it because I like sport. I like to feel a spirit of competition. My brain can't live without the adrenalin of sport. Football it's a kind of sport that needs speed, power and endurance. I like to spend my freetime with my friends playing football. If I like football, ofcourse I have a very big interest in football stars, competitions and other. I read football-magazines and spend my time in internet, in reading about different competitions. On weekends and after school I do all these things. Ofcourse on Satardays and Sundays nights we gather with friends or with my father and watch the League of Champions or Primer League of Spain or England.
My other interests are reading and watching films. First about the reading. I like to read very much, because when I read I live the life of my book-hero. I'm worring about his problems and I'm happy when there is a happy-end. Also it's relaxing to read a realy good book. When I read the book, I'm learning from mistakes of my hero and drawing a lot of conclusions. It's a very good exercise. It trains language, thinking and other parts of brain. What about films. I like it because films, describe me pictures which I was thinking when I read a book. Also, films are like a good book, but this book I don't read, I see it, and it's very fascinating. A lot films can cheer up your mood. And only a few films make you understand the morality of it. I have my own list of films, there are: "Green Mile" "Shawshenk Redemption" "Fight Club" "Pulp Fiction" "Godfather" "A Beautiful Mind" "Prestige" The Lord Of The Rings" "Braveheart" and others. I like a lot kinds of films: action, comedy, drama, science fiction... I like watching films and reading at nights, because it's the best time for thinking, hurmony and enjoyment of it.
I've got a lots of different interests, so I'm never bored. I can't do my choise. At this time I'm thinking that my favourite hobbies are reading and sport, because reading is a very moral thing and I think that I should be more clever.=) And sport is a competition. And I like to prove myself my possibilities.

My friend
My friend Sara lives in the same street as me. She's fifteen years old, and she's shorter than me. She's slim, and she's got long curly hair and black eyes. She's got big lips but she loves the lipgloss. Las week, she finished her favourite lipgloss and was very sad. Next Friday, she's making funeral for it! She's very crazy!
Sara is quite confident and friendly but, sometimes, is bossy and selfish. She's very talkative, and she talks very loud. In fact, she's always talking. Last summer we were thrown out of the library 'cause she wasn't stopping talking and laughing. She was very happy 'cause she hates the library. Sara definitely prefers internet to work. When I go to her home she's always in internet. She's what doesn't exist!
Although Sara and I are different but equal in some things, we get on really well. She's like my twin sister. All in all, I think Sara is a great friend.

My Interests
One of my main interests is singing. I like to sing almost all songs but my favourite style is R&B and the romantic songs: it's so beautiful and sensitive! I like to sing with other guys and girls and i've got a little singers band with other three friends. It's very funny! Every weekend we go to the park to sing. But my real dream is singing with another guy in the Hollywood Palace. Nothing is impossible!
My other interests are swimming. I love watter and when I'm swimming I'm in peace with me and with the world. I don't like practising other sports at all but swimming is different. Swimming is relaxing and funny and I can think about other things when I'm swimming.
I've got lots of different interests, so I'm never bored. But I can't choose between my hobbys, I love both. And I'm really happy when I can sing or swim.

My description of my cousin
My cousin Daniel is a one of my little cousins. He's eight years old, and he's a little short for his age. He's a bit thin, and he's got short brown hair and green eyes.
He's so cheerful, funny and friendly. He's very affectionate with who he knows. For example, when he sees me, always runs to me and gives me hugs and kisses. He's the most imaginative and crative person I know. In fact, when he was very little, he always played to be a dragon, and now he plays with the bionicle figures of dragons and mosters. He's very impatient and active, but when he watches TV he's very quiet and attentive. He's not a good student, but is very clever and he has a lot of memory. I remember, when he was 3 or 4 years old he knew the dialogue of the film Shrek by memory. He loves animals, especially insects, and he knows many things about them.
Although Daniel and I are differents in some things, we get on really well. All in all, I think Daniel is a great cousin.

my inteeerest
Hello, I'm Judith and I speak about my interest.
My first interest is going to the disco.
I like it because I dance, listen to the music, sing and I meet other people.
I never sit on the chair because I love dancing.
I go to the disco every Friday night, sometimes Saturday night, but I prefer to go on Friday’s night.
Last weekend I could see my friend Alicia after 1 year.
My other interest is theatre. I like to put myself in the skin of the other people and to play his or her role.
I really can't have the chance of doing theatre.
I’m never bored when I see a play in the theatre.
I go to see it twice a month.
Between these two interests I like more going to the disco on Friday nights.

And I finished.

Presentation
Dear class,
This year I thought that it would be a good idea to have a collaborative class blog.
In this way you can read each other's compositions, make comments and learn from each other. It could be more motivating and definitely more interactive, don't you think? Usually only the teacher reads your essays, but now in this blog you can get a wider audience.
Also it would be interesting to share resources, interesting videos or websites that we find useful to practice our English, etc.
I hope you think it's a good idea. Remember that the more you read and write, the more you learn.
Happy learning!
