My City

I live Barcelona city center it's a nice place to live but like any place it has it's inconveniences. In the part of the city were I live there are many theaters, museums, markets and cinemas. However it doesen't many good schools so my parents decided to send me to Sil. I often see drunk and homeless people and that's something I never see near to school but I still think there's no place like home.

My city
I live in a big city.
Here, the weather is very warm, in summer it is very sunny and in winter it’s not so cold because the city is near the sea. As is near the sea, you can go the beach whenever you want, it’s great.
Here, in Barcelona, you can do lots and lots of things. Like going shopping, go to the cinema, to the theatre connect to the internet… It’s a very interesting city because here there are lots of museums. As well we have lots and lots of transports to go anywhere you want. And I enjoy a lot the city that I’m living.

My city Barcelona:
I live in Barcelona. Barcelona it's a big city, concretely is the capital city of Cataluña. As a capital city it has a lot of tourists of all around the world. It has a lot of shopping centers and places to buy clothes, it has a lots of streets with bests trade marks… It also has a lot of museums; the arts ones, the history museums too, the Gaudi houses museums…
One of the things that make Barcelona so well knew is the Gaudi's architecture… All days he's houses or parks are full of tourists and sometimes the citizens of BCN go to visit them.
It also has a big and long beach, and at the end of the beach there is a very tall and big hotel. This hotel is also very well know, and it has structure of a sail.
I like to live in Barcelona because you always have something new or different to do. And doesn't matter you being living in here all you'r live you always discover something now every time you go walking in Barcelona… As is a big city, the shopping centers or the shops streets are always with new and interesting things.
Another thing that I like a lot of BCN is that you can go walking almost everywhere… And if there is somewhere far away you can take public transportation.

My country's habitat

I live in a big city in Spain. It is usually hot in spring and summer but in winter it's very cold. It doesn't usually snow and it rains in autum and spring but not a lot. It has a Mediterranean weather.
There are a lots of buildings and a lot of cars, there is also a mountain called Collserola that is the highest place in the city. 
On top of Collserola mountain there is a very beautiful church. You can go at the top of it where you can see great views of my city. You can also see the sea!
If you decide to go to the beach you will find a very big beach called Barceloneta, and a hotel that have the shape of a sail: the W hotel. 
If you like culture you have a lot of museums, theatres, opera theatres and exhibitions. You will never be bored in my city!
There is also another church that was built by Antoni Gaudí: the Sagrada Familia that has amazing shapes. I'm sure you have never see something like this before.
I honestly recomend you to visit my city, I promise you'll enjoy !

My vacation's city

I go always to Madrid when we have vacation, in summer in winter and sometimes whe the second term finishes. In winter is very cold and sometimes snows, and in summer is very hot but we have a swimming pool in front of the house so we pass almost all the afternoons swimming.
There are forests in the low and high part of the city. There are a lot of squirrels and birds in the trees.
This city hasn't beach but has mountains and in the mountains there are a lot of streams, and rivers where you can swim.
There are a lot of parks you could play, you can cool because they are sources and you can play because there are fields of football. In Madrid are a lot of courts of tennis and paddel.
I recommend it's a very good city to live or to go for vacations.

My country's habitat

I live in a small countrie, close to the beach.There is next to Africa but it is in spain.There are the most days sunny. The beaches have a very smooth and white sand.There are very bigs dunes that the sand comes from Africa. The sea is clean and transparent because there aren't many turist because is an unknown place.About this there are many fishes and I go diveingand I saw fishes of many colours and measures.In the sea are big waves and I can go surfing.These is my country habitat.


My city's habitat

I live in a very big city called Barcelona, in Spain. The weather is so good, in winter we're not that cold and in summer the temperature is quiet warm. Most of the time is cloudy, but sunny too. It doesn't snow in here every winter.
We have a few mountains with green forests and a theme park, and in the other side of the city we have a beautiful beach in the Mediterranean sea. The most popular animal in here is the pigeon. It's so famous, but I think it's horrible!
Here I can do lots of things. I'm so happy to live in a big city, I love it! I can go shopping, to the cinema, to the beach, to the mountain, to the park... Oh, I like so much living in Barcelona!

A description of a place - Unit 8

I live on the coast of a great big island. 
 Luckily, it's quite mild all year round but really warm in the  spring and the summer. 
But one of the best things about it is I can get the best of both worlds over here, I can get the luxury of the city and the lights and the wonderful nature of Australia. Some days I can go shopping in the mall of Sydney and other days I can enjoy the beach or the hills. That's why it's so special to me. 
The beaches are great for surfers and tourists or just for chilling out, also, Australia is famous for kangaroos and koala bears. Kangaroos are a unique feature in Australia, the outback of Australia (deserts) is the warmest part. Lots of surfers from all around the globe come to Australia for its fabulous beaches and its giant waves.

Australia is also a very touristy destination due to its many beautiful monuments and other touristy attractions so you’ll find the streets full of tourists. Obviously, the people are very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, it is a country that is far away from the rest of the world so it’s really expensive to travel to other places such as Europe and America.

But very honestly it is a great place to live and I couldn’t ask for more.

My country's habitat

I live in a small private island called Lovely. It’s in the Mediterranean Sea, near Ibiza. It’s lovely, and a lot of people come here to do parties and that things.
Most of the year it’s sunny, but obviously, it snows at winter. At winter we arrive to -12 ºC! Luckily, it only snows at winter. At summer it’s so hot, unfortunately, because sometimes we have to stay at house with the air conditioner. But only sometimes, fortunately.
At the centre of the island, there is a big forest, and when it snows is so beautiful.  At the forest there are some firs and some pines. A long time ago, there was a big lake with a lot of sharks, but obviously, I took them off.
The Mediterranean Sea surrounds the island. We have beautiful beaches, with palms and white sand. There isn’t a lot of people, so it’s so relaxing being at here.
Honestly, I don’t mind being here instead of being at a big city, because I hate being stressed, and here you have a lot of thing to do that I think that are better than the thing you can do at the big city!
