E-POSTCARD

Hi Carla,

I’m in Tailandia! I’m been there for three days ago, it is very beautiful. The 8 days have passed very quickly. There are so many things to do. I have done many activities like visiting beaches, went to visited the Bangkok market which has imitations of clothes and clocks and I visited the Buddhist temples.

Also I have ridden on an elephant through the jungle. Many people in my group was very scared, because in the jungle there were some wild animals, three lions were passing in front of us, we thought they would attack us, but they did nothing to us.Then an elephant got scared and made the girl fall down, luckily she didn’t hurt herself much. When we arrived to the apartament it started to rain.

I went by boat to visited a floating market, I bought many souvenirs, for my family and for myself.

See you next week!
Irene

SEASONS

In my reviw, I'm going to compare three seasons:
Summer, spring and winter. They are all very necessary for the evolution of nature. Spring is hotter than winter, but summer is the most hottest seasons. In summer we can get 30 or 35 degrrs of temperature. In spring there are more storms than in winter, but in summer ther are more strong storms. Spring is colder than summer, but winter is the coldest seasons. In summer there are more trees with leaves and flowers than in winter, but in spring it is full of flowers. In summer and in winter there are more tourist than in spring. In summer there are more tourists to go to the beach and in winter to go to the ski slopes.
In my opinion, spring is the best season in the year, because it starts to get hot, but not much, it is neither hot nor cold. Also because there is the holy week and I always spend it with my family and I love it. Normally it is when you take the first bath of the year in the pool and in the beach. Always in spring I start eating in the garden, and we also start to going to play all the boys and girls from my village and we stay in the street until later.
In conclusion, I think spring is the best season of the year because is is neither cold nor hot, the temperature is very nice.

HOW TO SAVE THE PLANET

Pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world. We are the cause, if we didn't use fabrics, cars we didn't throught anithing to the floor..., the pollution wouldn't exist. We are destructing our world. If we don't do anything, we will finally die.
To reduce pollution, we can use transport públic. If we use bus, plane..., we wiil pollute less, because, for exemple, in a bus there can go more people and in a car no. And if everybody uses their own cars we pollution more.
We can go every day to clean the forest, because if we go to clean, we are helping the world. Also we can transport tings with bikes or skates.

MY FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL

I started school when I was one. I remember the school was in Os de Balaguer. Every morning, my dad took my sister and me to school by car. I didn’t cry because I went with my sister. The first day I went out in the playground to paint the world with other girls and boys, teachers and parents.

My first teacher was Lluvia.  She was kind, with small, brown eyes and long, wavy, brown hair. She was skinny and tall. She was happy and she helped me every day.

I played with the children and the toys. Also my teacher read books and sing songs. My first friend was my cousin Aina. She was taller than me, with small, green eyes and blond, smooth hair. Now, we go to the high school together!
