CARNIVAL PARTY

The Friday 8, February, like every year in my school, we celebrate the carnival day, that day, teachers, students, workers... all of us have to come disguised, if not the carnival king throw us flour and doesn't give us candies.
Andrea, Paula, Paloma and I were disguised of Bifrutas, a juice.

We did it by hand.  I did it the night before carnival, because I hadn't finished it, and I didn't sleep a lot :S

There were many types of costumes: people disquised of Grandmoms, of The Lor of the Rings, of Mario Bross, of LMFAO, of car parkers, etc. 

In the morning we presented our costumes, and we did a cometition. My group and I won the award of the most worked!

And, after the awards we took sweets, coke, fanta...

Before lunch we did diferents kind of activitys, in a class they put a film, in an other we were playing Just Dance 3 and Just Dance 4 and an other for play cards and games.

In the lunch we ate hamburger with fried egg and chips, and for the night tea we ate cookies, chips, coke, penauts, olives...

And, afeter we went home, appeared  the carnival king in the foof, and threw us sweets, candies, and gifts...

It was a funny day and chiefly lightweight, because we hadn't to do any lesson, although when I arrived home I was really tired.

CATCHING FIRE:

If you haven't seen The Hunger Games, I really recomendo you to watch it, although I think that is better the book!
Just watch the trailer!

Catching fire, the second book of The Hunger Games saga, written by Suzanne Collins will arrive to the cinema on November, 2013. I hope that the film will be so good as the book being that I think that Catching Fire is the best book of The Hunger Games. 

Here you can watch the triler!

THE WITHERED ARM:

This xmas, I've read The withered arm, it's a book of Thomas Hardy it trates of a old story . Time ago, Rohada Brook had a son with the farmer Lodge, but him abandoned them, and had married with Gertude, a young girl. One day, Rohada had a dream, where Gertude scoffed her, and she, catching his arm angrily threw her out the window. One day the two women met, and Gertrude trust Rohada, showing her her marks on her arm. With time, the marks become worst and her arm start to withering. She tries all but without success. She asks for help to Trendle, but he can’t cure her, although he can show her who conjured up the spell, was Rohada. The time passes, but, one day Trendle discovers the cure for the spell -touch the neck of a newly hanged man.- This will 'turn' the blood and cure the withered arm. Gertrude visits the local hangman who agrees to help her. Gertrude touched the neck of a recently hanged. Then she discovers that it's Rhoda and Lodge's son who has been 
hanged. Deep in shock, Gertrude dies. Withered Arm", and others famous books like "Te Hand of Ethelberta"

The English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840 , since childhood he was interested in reading. In 1859 he created his first poem entitled "Domicilium". In the 70, Thanks to his wife Emma Lavinia Gifford, Thomas Hardy left the architecture to devote itself to the literature.

EXCHANGE WITH IES NACKA.

In my class since November are doing a virtual exchange with an other school of Sweden, IES Nacka. I have to write to two girls, Louise and Susanna, they are very nice! 

Sweden is an Scandinavian country of the north of Europa.  Carlos XVI Gustavo is the head of the state. Stockholm is the capital and at once the most populated city of Sweden, is spread over a total of 14 islands of the lake Märlen. Stockholm is often known for his beauty, his buildings and architecture, his clean water and his numerous parks, gardens and channels...
Sometimes it's known like "Venice of the North" 

Them school, Nacka, is in Stockholm, thy speak Swedish and English too. Some of our letters are in Spanish and others in English, because they have a signature of Spanish.                                                                  

Louise told me that her school is sometimes a little harsh but she like her teachers. I really want to see them, and go to Sweden or they will came to Spain!
This is IES Nacka:

I think that the idea of an virtual exchange is a good idea, I'm having a great time doing it, and speaking with Louise and Susanna!!

NOTTING HILL:

Synopsys:
For this summer I've read Notting Hill. It's about a love story of an american film star, Anna scott, and the owner of a travel bookshop, in Notting Hill, London, William Thacker.
One day she walks into his shop and mets William, but he stained her with coffe and they had to go to Williams home for wash her clothes.
Sudenly she kissed him. And from there they bagan a beautiful relationship, although with some complications and ups and downs .
Because Anna was rich and beautiful, and famous all over the world. Every one wants to know her. And william's life couldn't be more  different. His booshop was small and not very successful, and his group of friends was small to.
But Anna and William are looking for someone special. So maybe they will be toghether... If you want to
know it, you have to read it


                                        

Personal Opinion:
I've liked the book, it isn't very exciting but is romantic and beautiful.
I recommend it if you are a person who likes quiet stories and especially of love.
I saw the film time ago but I don't remember so much.
It's of the level 3 of Oxford.
It's contemporany and it's written in British English.
