An accident

Something happened few days ago which was a real test of my honesty. I was with Cristina and we were walking to the city center. Near the hospital, front of the library and we found an envelope with 1.000€. We were really surprised that was a lot of money and we didn’t know what we could do in that situation.

After that Cristina thought that the best idea was to bring that envelope to the police.

‘Where did you found that?’ The policeman asked.

‘We found that envelope in front of the library 30 minutes ago.’ We answered.

‘Thank you for bring it to the police center, a woman has just called and she said that she had lost money in that zone.’ He said. ‘She was going to the bank but she lost the envelope in her way.’

In the end, nothing bad happened, the woman who lost the money could have it back. At the beginning we had doubts if we should kept the money or give it to the police. When we saw that someone had lost it and could have it back, we felt so happy and we’d done the right thing.

A happy ending:

 

This time last year, things weren’t going too well for me. I’d had an argument with my best friend , and I’d also left my ballet lessons. My other friends invited me out, but I didn’t really want to go out with them. I spent a lot of time listening music in my room and watching movies.

Everything changed for me the day I saw a programme about be a volunteer in a summer camp. The volunteers were helping the camp counselors; both were really funny and responsible. They made me realize that I should be a bit more positive. I found out that volunteers could stay all the summer there, so I stayed with them.

These days, I feel much happier. Working as a volunteer has made me feel more useful and sociable. We’re looking if we can be volunteers again next summer, because it was super funny and we want to spend the next one all together. If I hadn’t seen the programme, I’d never have had the opportunity to work with kids and have so much fun.

Changing laws

 

The government plans to introduce a new lay which will mean to introduce school on Saturday. In my view, this would have some negative consequences.

In the first place, In my opinion this would have positive for our education consequences but it won't be a good idea for teenagers. It probably improve our lever in all the country.

I think that this is unfair because on Saturday, teachers should work and the state will pay you more. And now, this is not good knowing we are in crisis. Ther is an alternative method to achieve the government's aims that approved a new law.

 

Finally, the alternative methods about the plans to introduce school on saturday are with internet or like always, going to the school. The results shoudn't be agreed for guys. 

If the aim of the government is to lower the number of people who leaves the studies, it seems to me that there’s a better alternative: if they remove bad results, education in this country would be safer.

The story of Converse:

Converse got their name because the designer was Marquis Converse. They were design in 1908 but in those days they weren’t good as a sport shoes. Because the first Converses were made of rubber and canvas.

Around 1920s, they improved the material of the shoes, and then they were good for basketball players. They became a bit popular when they promoted some of the players. Later, it was the official NBA shoe. And a lot of artists and musicans wore them then. In those days converse was the most popular shoe all around the world.

By the end of the millennium they weren’t so much popular. But then the company was sold to Nike in 2003 and the Converse started to became famous again with young people. They sold around 950 million of pairs in 2008. Now a day they are produced in many different styles, colours, sizes... And they are worn by people of all ages.

write about plans for a visit.

Hi, Tessa.

I’m writing to let you know that everyone of my family and friends are so excited for your visit. Also for check that everything’s OK.

I think you’ll enjoy so much Catalunya. On Saturday morning, we’re doing a bus tour in Barcelona because my parents really want to show you the capital; I think you’ll love it. After the bus tour we’ll have free time for go shopping and visit more Barcelona. In the afternoon we’ll probably go to Palamos, a little town front of the sea. There we’ll probably meet some of my friends, and we could either walk around the town. It’s up to you. I expect we’ll end up chilling with my friends on the beach.

On Sunday, we could get a boat somewhere. There are some typical coast villages around here, like Tamariu or Llafranc. There isn’t much to do in them, but they’re very pretty places that you’ll remind them forever. I’ll get some photos and you can have a look.

We’re going to pick up you at the airport tomorrow morning, so can you remind me what time does your plane arrive?

Looking forward to seeing you.

Cris
