About a book

Now I'm going to talk about Marina. Marina is a book wrote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

I am readig it, and I have read a half, more or less.

Why am I reading this book?

Because some people have recomended it to me, because they like it a lot and because I have read some books of he, and I like his writing form very much.
My favourite book of Carlos Ruiz Zafón is "El Palacio de la Medianoche", I loved it. Now I am expectant and waiting to finish the book, people say that the end it's very good, and Marina is the best of his books.

Marina and El Palacio de la Medianoche starts talking about a boarding school. Carlos Ruiz Zafón, when he was young, he lived in a boarding school in Barcelona, he talks about this at the introduction of the book, and that is a curious point to consider.

Marina was publicated in 1999 in Barcelona by Edebé and it's traslated in seven languages.

Now I have to say that he writes quite well, and his books are fantastic and I like he very much.

Videogames

· The first "videogame" was created in 1940 by te Americans. It was a simulator of airplanes for the pilots in the army.

·Nowdays, technology is in everything, and videogames have developped a lot.

Now with powerful videoconsoles, like Play Station 3 or Xbox, videogames are completly real, their graphics are exceptional, you are playing and it seems real.

·Videogames now are business, but, we can find free videogames, on-line games.

·Also, pc, Play Station 3 and Xbox games have very good graphics, and some of those have on-line functions, so you can play with other people on the Internet.

·On the Internet there are pages with free on-line videogames, like "minijuegos" for example, but this games are very simply, also you can find other gfames, avatar games, like Second Lifie with 3D graphics and completly free, althought, you anc play to play.

·Now, we can say that videogames are used for entertaiment, it's a good way to spent time and get amused by playing, but always with control.

Fuerthermore, we have to respect the recomended ages to play te videogames. Because now there is so much violence in games.

· I like videogames, I have the PS3, and it's incredible, I prefer it than te pc.

Videogames are a good way to amuse and spent time, as I have said before.

TRIP TO ITALY.

Two weeks ago, the 25th March we went to Italy, our end of school year trip.
We won money selling cookies, drinks and chips.
We went to Barcelona to get the boat to Italy. We stayed in Barcelona all the evening, walking by the port and the “ramblas”, a street in Barcelona.
We left Barcelona at 4 o’clock in the morning, very late and we arrived to Rome at 6 am, we spent one day in the boat, but it was good, on the cover with the sun, very good.
In Rome, we went to the Vatican museum, to the Coliseum, Trevi`s fountain, the Pantheon, etc. really beautiful. At night, we were on the bus, going to Venetia.
We spent all the day in Venetia, buying their typical masks, and some of us get on gondola by the Venetia’s sea streets, I loved that.
After, we went to Florence, to the hotel. At night, we went to a disco; it was good, but very expensive.
The third day we visited Florence, its bridges, the cathedrals, etc. very beautiful, but the weather was rainy, and it rained all the day. At night, we went another time to other disco, but this was bigger and better than the first.
The last day we went to Pisa, to see the city, and in specially the lean tower of Pisa. The park was very green the tower very beautiful and its typical Italy buildings as well.
And finally, we caught the boat to Barcelona.
The trip didn’t last long, but it was FANTASTIC.
I love Italy it’s big and very beautiful, but I think that we can’t see it in a day each city that we have stayed, it isn’t enough time.
The relationship with friends and classmates was very good, I have spent a very good time with all t washe class, they are fantastic, all. And all of us had good times, yes.
Conclusion: I have to say that it was the best trip that we did, fantastic.
Now, It’s the finally term, and after Fallas, the trip and Easter, we have to study hard.
