Discribing of a place

EASTBOURNE

I chose Eastbourne because is a really beautiful village next to Britghon, I stay there last summer and I enjoy a lot there. I want to talk about a place that I been there and I think that Eastbourne are the most interesting site I have stayed. This place is important for me because there I met a lot of interesting people and I spent a very good time, I advise for all the people to go there.

It's an active village, very complitly clean and quiet. It hasn't got a lot of traffic because the most part of the population use pubic buses and the train, so the traffic aren't very loud or congested. The buses and the trains are rather punctual and fast, you hardly ever arrive late to sites.

Eastbourne has good connections with Brighton, Hastings and Bexhill, because all of this citys and villages are adjoining with the train. The buildings of Eastbourne aren't pretty old, but they are a little shabby because it's a fairly active villge. The village aren't old but it isn't very modern of futuristic, in my point of view it's a typical english small town. But like all the villages has some modern builds, like the casino on the Pier, of the Shopping Center. It's a touristic site,

with a lot of souvenirs shops, lots of clothes shops, fast food restaurants like Mc Donalds, KFC... The pavement is slightly dirty, for the tourists. The people are extremely simpathetic with all the tourists, very polite and nice. But sometimes the young people or teenagers don't like tourists and sometimes make face to them and a little impolite. The shops are much less expensive than here, all the fast food, chocolate, sweets are far cheaper than here, but the fruit or the rest of aliments are a bit more expensive. Because the english people buy in a Pouland, a shop on all the fat food costs only one pound. Perhaps the clothes are more expensive here, although the shops are diferent.

In Eastbourne you can do a lot of thing, in the morning you can go to the shopping center, In the afternoon you can to go for a walk for the town, go to the beach in summer or go to the pier and contemplate the overlooking the sea. You can also go to the pier's casino and spend a good time with your friends, so I think that it's an interesting place to visit or for go on holiday!

MY PERFECT TRIP!

I always wanted to do a very amazing trip, a perfect trip! All the people when they think of a perfect trip they think sbout going to the Caribean, Australia, Hawaii, New York, Paris... And my fauvorite trip is CALIFORNIA! I always wanted to do this trip because I saw a lot of films where they talk about California the fashion zone, the city of the fashion stars, cinema stars, famous people.. I want to visit all its street, shops, restaurants, all! As well, I want to swim in its beautiful beaches.

I want to see the letters of Hollywood, visit the Santa Monica's pier, San Francisco, visit the Golden Gate, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. Go to San Diego and visit the historic part and Balboa Park.

I want to visit the most vast and populated city of California, Hollywood! I want to visit the set of the stydy Paramout o Universal and the mansions of the cinema stars, travel the "Paseo de la Fama", searching my fauvorite artists. Choose between kilometers of beaches for surfing or skating. Travel to the famous Rodeo Drive, with its shops for celebrities, or go to the Disney Land and Six Flags. I want to enjoy the sun, the sports and the style shopping!

I think that in a few years I can do this trip and I never forget it!

RECIPE OF CHEESE CAKE

The cheese cake is a very delicious dessert, and it's very easy to do. You can serve this cake in a birthday or in a wedding, because it can be a informal and a formal food. It is my fauvorite food because it's very creamy dessert and very sweet. You can also put some other ingredients on the top, like raspberry or found caramel, or make a base of cookies or chocolate.

EASTBOURNE

Last summer I decided to do a trip, without my parents. When my mum was young my grandmother decided to send my mum to England for study english, and my mum decided to do the same for me. I was very exciting because I don’t know anything about what I am going to do, and I decided to trip alone so, I didn’t know anybody.

When I arrived there a taxi brought me to my host family, I needed to stay with a english family for three weeks. The woman was very friendly and sociable, she made me delicious things for dinner and she picked up my dirty clothes and wash them.

Every morning, Monday to Friday, I had to go to school. There I learnt only english. We had three hours in the morning only. When the clases finished my new friends and I went to McDonalds or some other fast food restaurant for had lunch.

In the afternoon sometimes we met together and go to the beach or go shopping in the center. We spent a very good time doing things in our free time!

Around six o’clock Eva and I caught the train and go home for have dinner. Eva and I lived a little bit far that the other students, because we lived in Polegate, and we needed to catch the train for arrive there.

When I had dinner, I changed my clothes and every night I met my new friends and went to some discos or the Pier, a beautiful building that is built above the sea. I loved this place!

Some Saturdays we had interesting excursions, one week we went to Britghton, a very beautiful city with a lot of shops. We also went to London, but I don’t like it because I think that it’s a dark city.

The three weeks passed very fast, I didn’t want to leave Eastbourne and my new friends. I want to return to Eastbourne!

LENGUAGES. In America more than 200 lenguages are spoken.

English is the mother lenguage. All the communication is done in English.

New York has serious communication problemes, especially in the schools because of the major influence since World War II of Spanish speakers from Caribbean region or speakers of South called Black English and more recently, Asian in addition to the ever-present large numbers of speakers of the other lenguages. As a result, schools in some areas have emphasized teaching English as a second lenguage.

CULTURE-RACES-ETHNICITIES

The 35 % of the population are immigrants.

As they have so many people from many different places the culture mixes everyday.

The population organizes itself : Republica Dominicana, China, Jamaica, Rusia, Italy, Polon, India and so we can travel to China town, little Italy, little Korea, little India and Spanish Harlem without leaving the city.

The religions are : Induism, Judaism, Muslim, Catholic. There is a community of Judaism were it has the biggest Jewish community.

Red Cross denied entry to Baba Amr for second day

The International Red Cross says Syrian authorities have denied it access to the devastated Baba Amr district of Homs for a second day.

Syrian officials say the area is being cleared of booby traps.

But there have been reports of revenge killings by Syrian forces since rebel fighters pulled out, and shelling has been reported in other areas of Homs.

Meanwhile, the bodies of a US journalist and a French photographer, who were killed in Homs, have left Damascus on a flight to Paris.

"According to the ONU, more than 5,000 people have been killed since they began in mid-March protests against the regime of El-Assad,accusing "armed terrorist groups" of being behind them. My opinion is simple, it's a war and it kills a lot of Sirian people and people who wants to help this country. I think that this regime needs to disappear and then the peace begin."

DESCRIPTION OF MY BOYFRIEND - (ORAL)

DESCRIPTION OF MY BOYFRIEND

His name is Brayan, he is seventeen years old and he's from Colombia.

I met him in Rosas last year at the Carnival.

He has got smarts, brown hair, wide brown eyes with long eyelashes. His nose is really strange, and his mouth is a quite big with thick lips. He's very hot from my point of view, and very cute.

In my view his character is really complex. He is an open person with everyone, he is sociable and outgoing, but he doesn't talk about himself, he keeps himself to himself. He hardly ever expresses his feelings. He is selfish, he doesn't drow interest in other people. I think that he is tidy. He loves sleeping and goes to parties, he likes night life and clubs.

His beahavior with me is very different from other people. He feels insecure, and a little more expressive and sensible, but he is still conceited and jealous.

In my opinion his character is bad, because I want to know his feelings but it's very difficult for him to trust people. A very positive point I think is that he doesn't act like his friends, he has a lot of personality and he never gets influenced. He can miss a lot of things because is very proud, and nobody can beat it.
