A special thanks to all mothers at Christmas! The average mum spends 12 days shopping, four hours wrapping presents, three hours decorating the house and eight hours making Christmas dinner. The worst part is tidying up -eleven hours! It's not surprise that one in five mother hates Christmas!

I will speak about my journey in Punta Cana.
Punta Cana is in Centre of America, in the island of Dominican Republic. The beaches are very nice. They are from an impressive transparency, pity that in the time that we stayed there, there was seaweeds. The water was very cold but outside it was sunny.
The hotel where we stay was called Catalonia Bavaro. It’s a very big hotel, with animals, a gigantic swimming pool and very big rooms.
The people of animation made you spend very good time. They went too far on the day dancing and preparing things because at night, after dinner, you enjoyed their shows.
During the free time, I went with my sister and my parents to walk along the immense beach; we threw photos and went to markets.
In an excursion we go with yacht, we see fish flying (is not a joke) and we arrive to a natural swimming pool where there were these big stars of sea.In the airport of Punta Cana we saw this dog clothed like a human. It was very funny.

Summary about Romeo and Juliet

Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are feuding. Romeo Montague crashes a Capulet party in disguise with his friends, meets Juliet Capulet, and falls immediately in love with her. She returns those feelings and agrees to marry Romeo the next day. The young couple turn to Friar Laurence who performs the ceremony because he thinks this will end the feud between the two families. Shortly after the ceremony, Romeo and Tybalt engage in a duel. As a result, Romeo is banished. Meanwhile, unaware of the wedding, Lord Capulet (who is Juliet's father) promises Paris that Juliet will marry him. In despair, Juliet again turns to Friar Laurence for help. Through mixups and misunderstandings, the love of Juliet and Romeo is doomed

A LIFE STORY
My life.
I was born in Girona in 1992. We've lived in the same place all of my life, in a house around Banyoles, with my mum, my dad and my sister, and when I was young, I had two hamsters, one of my sister and the other mine.
My earliest memory isn't much clear. I remember the days at primary, playing, singing and dancing. In primary, I had a lot of teachers, one for every subject. My best teacher was Conxita, a beautiful person and together we had a very good time.
I went to La Barca since I was very young, and then I went to Casa Nostra, the same school but for primary and secondary. When I was younger, I woar glasses and I Had shorter hair. I think that I'm more responsible now, I think thad I've got more personality now than before, now I can decide for Myself wothout the opinion of the others.
When I finish secondary school, I want to do the high school, and then I don't know what I want to do. I'll probably do a 'module', but now, I don't know.

PRESENTING A PRODUCT
The Internet is very important nowadays. It become important when the TIC appear. People used other things to search information; now, people can do everything with Internet.
On the other hand, all of the information in books is ok, but you can't revise it. However, the Internet could have false information but you can revise it. All in all, I thing that the Internet is the best invention, because you can do everything with it.

Dear Mr. Scrooge,

I am writing to enquire about lottery funds for a community project in our town.
Banyoles is a small town near Girona. There are a lot of interesting places in and around the town, but there aren't places for young people. This centre could provide activities and information for the young people of Banyoles.

I would be grateful if you could send me information about lottery grants. If you have any question about our project, please do not hesitate to contact me.


Yours sincerely
Berta Ametller

Chairperson,
Banyoles
