Wr-04: A biography of a famous band or artist

The football player Iker Casillas was born on 20th May 1981, in Móstoles, Madrid. He trained as a goalkeeper at the junior teams of Real Madrid, and he played in the minor divisions with that club, but he didn´t become famous until he joined the first division club.

He joined the first team in 1999 an he played a lot of matches with the team, exactly 725. In 2000 he joined the spanish national team, and in 2006, he became the captain of that team. In 2010, he became the captain of Real Madrid, too. He led the national team to the victory in 2008, 2010 and 2012, becoming the first triple win of a national team. He is considered one of the best goalkeepers of all times, and he has won the "best goalkeeper of the wold" prize five times.

In the last few years he had been the titular goalkeeper of Oporto F.C, a Portuguese team, but nowadays he is part of the technical team because he had a heart attack.

Something amazing that happened to you last summer

Wr-01: Something amazing that happened to you las summer.

  When summer started, I went with all my family to Madrid, to stay a few days thre and to visit "Warner Bros Park". I was very excited, because I hadn´t been in themes park before.

  When we entered, there weren´t too many queues, so we could get to the attractions very fast. The park was very beautiful and there were "Warner Bros" cartoons everywhere. My cousins told me they wanted to go to a roller coaster, so I decided to go with them. At first I was a bit scared because I hadn´t been on a roller coaster before, but when I got there I realized it was really funny. Finally, we weere going to have lunch, but suddenly a performance started in the park, so we went to see it.

  It was a fantastic day! I had a lot of fun and I spent time with my family. What a nice day!

 

Stephen Hawking

Comment 19: Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was born on 8th January, 1942 and he died on 14th March, 2018. He was a theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, cosmologist and British scientific popularizer. He was one of the most intelligent people of our days and he has contributed a lot to science. He worked in the relativity field, and he was studying the black holes. He wrote a book in 1993, called "Black holes and small universes and other essays", where he wrotte about his theories about black holes and the space. I think that Stephen Hawking is an amazing person, because even having an illness that didn´t let him move or talk, he worked hard to find other ways to do what he wanted, he used a voice synthesizer to talk and he continued investigating in his area not letting his illness afectt his work. I think he is a model to follow, and that we should learn more about his way of life.

An Internet post about a concert

Wr-11: An Internet post about a concert

Last Sunday was my birthday, and my parents gave me a ticket to a concert of my favourite group. They´re called "Fate of Notes" and they play pop and rock.

I was very excited, because the group always sells all the ttickets , and it is very difficult to get one. My parents gave me two entries, so I went to the concert with my best friend. The concert was on Monday and it was in a very big concert hall.

The concert was amazing, the hall was fll of people and the atmosphere was excellent. Finally, before leaving the place, I met the singer, and he signed me my record.

It was an amazing night!

Hi Fran, 

What about your summer? As you know, this year I moved to a town near yours, Salobreña, and I have to start meeting new people. This summer, I visited my old town and I was there all the summer, with my old friends and my family.

I prefer my old town, although this one is bigger and there are more places to visit and more things to do, the old one was more beautiful and cozy.

The new school year started, and I have a few new friends. I hope to meet a lot of new people during the year! This year, I´m doing 3º ESO, so I´m going to have to study a lot.

I want winter to come, to return to the village and meet you and the others. I´m looking forward to your answer.

Your friend, David.

 
 

My hometown

Wr 02: My hometown

I live in Molvizar, a town in the south of Spain. It´s a very peaceful and cozy town. The weather isn´t very special. In summer it is very hot and it doesn´t rain much. With that heat, you can´t do many

things, and in the town there isn´t swimming pool, so if you want to swim, you must go to another town. Winter is very different, it isn´t very cold, about 20ºC, and it never snows. Unlike in summer, temperatures are very good to be outside, so you can go for a walk or practise a sport. In summary, if you don´t care to move to other towns in summer, it´s a very good place to live.

This is a photo from my cousin´s holiday in Portugal. He is in a lake, and it´s very beutiful. There are many mountains and two lakes, and the sea is not far. He is alone. He is wearing a T-shirt, some shorts and a backpack. he is 25 years old and a very good climber. He is taking photos of the landscapes. It isn´t cold in the lake and this is the reason why he is wearing summer clothes. He is having a great time.
