Memories

Pleasant

When I was 4 years old, I went with my brothers and my parents to Port Aventura. And my mother told me to go to an attraction to take a picture. When the attraction finished I saw the back of a woman that was like my mother and I hugged her and we started to walk. When we had walked a little, my brother runs to me and said that my mother is looking me. It was very fun.

When I was 5 years old, at Christmas, we went to my grandfather's house to recive the gifts and when we arrived my grandfather told us to search the gifts in the house, after fifteen minutes, we went back with my grandfather and we said that we haven't found them and then he said that there weren't presents then I began to cry and my grandfather told me to look in other part of the house and there were all the gifts.

When I was 6 years old, in summer, my cousins, my brother and I camped in a field behind my grandmother's house. When we were about to fall asleep we heard steps outside the tent. We were scared and anyone wanted to go out and see who was outside. Then the person outside started to open the zipper, we were very frightened and we jump over the person who entered... he was my father.

Unpleasant

When I was 7, my friend and I entered the house of my grandmother's neighbor to steal some oranges. One day my grandmother and her friend saw us. The next day we entered again but the dog was loose and it started to follow us. After that we didn't try to enter again.

When I was 6 years old I went to El Corte Ingles with my parents and I kept looking at the toys, then I look to my side and my parents weren't near me. I started looking and I began to cry until someone came and helped me find my parents. I was very scared.

And a memory that I remember very well, is when I was 7 years and I was watching The Simpsons and the news started suddenly. They were talking about the attack of 11-S.

Cambourne

In 1998, began the construction of a new town called Cambourne in Cambridgeshire, England. The interesting thing about this city is that all things are new. At first, the plan was to build 3330 houses and a sport center, a park, a hospital,a fire station and everything you can find in a "normal" city.
Although there are many good things as new jobs and no pollution. There are also problems like for example that the neighbors don't have a common history. That when someone comes to a city, there he can find shops and transport but not in Cambourne and that in England to build a secondary school, the city leed a population of 6000 habitants.
In 2008, we knew that the plan didn't come true because only 2600 houses have been built.
In the future, they want to build 4250 houses and a skateboard park and a ecopark and they want to increase the number of shops on the main street to increase the number of jobs.

Love history

I was six years old when I met Cristina, she was my classmate and we shared the desk, at first I was angry because she was new and I didn’t meet her and I wanted to be with my friends.

The firsts days she tried to speak with me, but I was still angry and I didn’t answer her. But one day I forgot my pencil case at home and she shared with me all her things. That was the beginning of our friendship

Over time we became friends and decided to be a "couple forever" because his sister had a boyfriend and she wanted too.

But two months after she arrived, around Christmas, she said me that she had to change school and town.

Over the years, I forget Cristina, until two years ago when I went to Cancun and I met some kids of my age and they spoke about a girl who was very pretty ... So I decided to meet her and when we were in the pool I told her if she wanted to play with us, but this time she was who told me not.

But a day later, she asked me my name and we started talking, when I return to Spain, I gave her my messenger to continue talking and after a month we started talking about our childhood and, finally, I knew that she was my “partner forever. "

Now she lives in Madrid, but we are still friends and we planned vacation trips with our parents.

Estuve en Venecia, en el puente de los suspiros

un palacio y una prisión en cada mano

vi la ola sus estructuras subir

como el golpe de varita de un hechicero:

Mil años sus alas nubladas expande

alrededor mío, y las risas de Gloria muriendo

sobre los lejanos tiempos, cuando muchas tierras súbditas

miraron los pilares del león alado

¡Donde Venecia descansaba sobre las cien islas!

1. The author of the poem was Lord Byron.

2. It's a very famous Venice's bridge that was intended to connect the Old Prison and the interrogation rooms.

3. The name was given by Lord Byron in 19th century and takes its name from the sighs of the prisoners that from the bridge they saw the sky and the sea for last time.

4. There are 455 bridges in Venice.

5. Rialto: is the name of a bridge and a Venice sestiere (district), known for its markets.

Shylock: is the name of a character of Shakespeare's novel, The Merchant of Venice.

The Moor: He is the Prince of Morocco, a suitor for the hand of Portia (She is the name of the main character of The Merchant of Venice).

A room with a view

1. O mio babbino caro de Puccini.

2. Because this song is about the story of a girl who fall in love with a man but her father prefer to marry her with other man, and the same in the movie.

Keep Calm and Carry On

The Ministry of information (MOI) was formed by the British Government as the department responsible for propaganda during the Second World War.

With a bold coloured background, the posters were required to be similar in style and feature the symbolic crown of King George VI along with a simple yet effective font. The first two posters, “Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution will bring us victory “and “Freedom is in peril” were posted on public transport, in shop windows… but the plan for the third and final poster “Keep Calm and Carry On” was to issue it only upon the invasion of Britain by Germany. As this never happened, the poster was only displayed on a very few office walls and was never officially seen by the public.

It is believed that most of the keep calm posters were destroyed at the end of the war in 1945 however nearly 60 years later, a bookseller stumbled across a copy hidden amongst a pile of dusty old book.
