An opinion essay

Hunting animals: a sport or a crime?


In my opinion hunting animals is a crime because it is a murder.
I think that nature hasn't been created to be destroyed and we shouldn't interfere with nature because we can cause a disaster like the disappearance of species.
I disagree with the areas that have been created for hunting animals because they are more guilty than the person who suffering and death of animals.
In addition, hunting can be dangerous because personal accidents can happen, there have been cases of deaths of people.
In conclusion, hunting should be banned and we shouldn't destroy nature because we can repent.
I also want to add that hunting can make appear poachers.

A book review

A book review


My favourite book is entitled "Si tu me dices ven, lo dejo todo pero dime ven".
It's a book that has been written by Albert Espinosa that is the director of Polseres Vermelles.
The plot of the book is a man that broke up with her girlfriend and beings to remember his life in the past when he was a child. The rest of story explains absolutely exciting adventures, for example the death of his parents, some stories made me cry.
I'd recommended this book because it's really fantastic and teaches you how hard life can be.
I was impressed by the author is sentence:
" Dedicada a todos los que siguen queriendo ser diferentes y luchan contra aquellos que desean que seamos iguales.".

Bellow you can find some Tongue-Twister; I already know some of them are a bit hard to say, but, Hold on, and keep trying!


Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug - although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty year old thug thought of that morning.

Denise sees the fleece,                     

Denise sees the fleas.
At least Denise could sneeze

and feed and freeze the fleas.

There was a fisherman named Fisher
who fished for some fish in a fissure.
Till a fish with a grin,
pulled the fisherman in.
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.

A book review: Breaking Down, by Stephanie Meyer


Breaking down's front cover

Breaking Dawn is the fourth and final novel in The Twilight Saga written by American author Stephanie Meyer. Divided into three parts, the first and third sections are written from Bella Swan's perspective, the protagonist, and the second is written from the perspective of Jacob Black.

At the beginning of the book, Bella and Edward get married; they get married in an awesome wedding organized by Alice, Edward’s vampire adopted sister. Afterwards, Bella’s and Edward’s honeymoon starts. They travel across America by plane, and finally they arrive to Río de Janeiro. When Bella asks Edward: “Río de Janeiro? Are we gonna stay here?” he answers: “No, just a stop along the way”, then they arrive to the docks to travel by boat. Twenty minutes later from the beginning of the journey, Edward said: “Bella, look there” while he was pointing straight ahead.
Bella saw only blackness at first, and the moon's white trail across the water. But she searched the space where he pointed until she found a low black shape breaking into the sheen of moonlight on the waves. As she squinted into the darkness, the silhouette became more detailed. The shape grew into a squat, irregular triangle, with one side trailing longer. They were in Isle Esme.
The honeymoon was being perfect; also, Bella got what she wanted: have sex with Edward, a reckless topic. They stayed there for a long time, three weeks approximately, but an incident broke their cloud of love and happiness. Without knowing how, Bella was pregnant.
Then, they had to go home.

Bella has got inside an unknown creature; she has got inside a half-blood, part human, and part vampire. The fetus was growing very fast, breaking at the same time Bella’s ribs.
Finally, Bella is transformed into a vampire and gives birth to a baby girl. Now, Bella is brilliant, she discovers she has a special power, she has a mental shield. She can protect everybody’s mind if she wants. Then, all is perfect, all is balanced and the happiness is in the air, but something dangerous is coming. The Vulturi, the vampire family, comes to attack Cullen’s family. Finally it all ends successully.

In conclusion, I think that this book is really awesome and terrific. Personally, I think the book has got a good structure and, honestly, is my favorite book. I totally recommend it.

A film review


My favourite film is “A 3 metros sobre el cielo”. It’s a Spanish film of Fernando González Molina. The film is from 2010 and lasts 118 minutes. It’s a drama and romance movie.
The plot of the story is about two young people who belong to different worlds. It is the chronicle of an improbable love, almost impossible but inevitable dragging in a frantic journey where they discover the first great love. Babi (Maria Valverde) is a girl from uppermidle class that is educated in goodness and innocence. Hache (Mario Casas) is a rebellious boy, impulsive, unconscious, has an appetite for risk and danger embodied in endless fights and illegal motorbike races, the limit of common sense.
All in all, I’d recommend this film because it’s a very nice love story and it’s very exciting. Personally, I think that I love Mario Casas, it’s my favourite actor. 

Do you think that school holidays are too long?


Some people think that school holidays are too long. However, some people think that school holidays are too short.
In summer, teenagers can rest from school. They can prepare for the next course of study.
Personally, I think that teenagers can work to earn money to pay for University in the summer.
Teenagers go out at night because they enjoy different activities, such as going to the disco.
If the school holidays are shorter, they will not be able to have fun. Consequently, they will get bored and discouraged to learn. 
In addition, if parents work there are “esplais” and “casals” to leave them there.
As far as I am concerned, school holidays aren’t too long. We need to relax and enjoy.

Something to do when you have nothing to do

Hey bloggers!
Nowadays I'm reading a books that seems to be very interesting. I'm sure you all know about it, the book's name is Hamlet and its written by William Shakeaps (sorry I don't know how to spell his name )


So I just wanted  to recommend the book to you. Its very good and the vocabulary is simple and manageable. As we don't have much to do this summer why don't you give a try to this book. Have a look I'm sure you'll like it.


I guess I don't need to write the story as we all know what it is about . After all Hamlet is one of the most famous works of W.S.
 Even that if I had to explain Hamlet in one line it would be something like this: The tragedy of Hamlet traces the admirable portrait of a legendary Prince of Jutland who is dreamy, contemplative, but  lost in doubt and irresolution because of his father's death. That's why in order to finally   solve all the  mysteries and secrets   around him Hamlet is  forced to clarify the reasons that led his father to death. In his way Hamlet will not only find those secrets but he will also gain self-sufficiency.

here's the link:http://books.google.es/books?id=29ZPAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=hamlet&hl=ca&sa=X&ei=27LHT--1MIK5hAfa9rC2Cw&ved=0CEUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=hamlet&f=false

happy reading!

What if I ask you what's your favourite sport?

A topic that often gets sport fans squabbling is when they are asked to name what they think is the best sport in the world.
There are thousands of sports payed around the world and of course it's difficult to choose just one among all of them. Especially when every sport has its ins and outs. Every sport except one : yoga. 


Developed in an ancient India, yoga is not only a spiritual practise that has been evolving for the last who know how many years but its also one of the few disciplines that has no point against. Along the years lots of sports came but sooner or later they had to leave. However yoga is one of  the few sports which came to stay.


There are many reasons to practise yoga. It can not only improve your physical conditions but it also enriches and enhance your most beloved thing , the one and only : your spirit.
It's a discipline that though meditation helps you to gain a moral asceticism and the physical exercises help you to develop a higher level of conscience and to integrate physical, mental and spiritual aspects of a person.
It's true that the benefits are noticeable after a prolonged time. But that's because yoga "repairs" your body from its  roots, from every cell. So it's worth waiting.And if this isn't enough it also increases life expectancy. The fact that by doing it just once a day it influences in your behaviour and mental health is surely its most attractive benefit.

Hexagon Race

Idea taken from Reward Intermediate Resource Pack.

Procedure:

  1. The object of the game is to get a line of connecting hexagons, either from the top of the board to the bottom or from one side to the other. 
  2. A team gets an hexagon by answering a question correctly. 
  3. The first team chooses an hexagon from the top row of the game board. This is where their line will begin. 
  4. It is a good idea to try to block the other team.
  5. The first team to get a line of hexagons from top to bottom or from one side to the other is the winner.
