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!

Uniform...is it good or bad?

Some people say it’s good to wear uniform, and some people say they won’t wear a uniform in their life.

In my opinion, wearing uniform is a good way to learn that at the school you are not a cool person for having the best clothes. Another good thing that I think that the uniform have is that you don’t need to be every day in front of the wardrobe thinking what to wear that day and nobody is going to discriminate you for the clothes you wear.

Some people say that wearing uniform is a bad idea because for the weekend you have to buy not uniform clothes, and if you don’t wear uniform, you can put the clothes from every day.

Another group of people say that the uniform is too expensive, but I think that if we evaluate the good and the bad things, you’ll see that the uniform it isn’t a bad idea.

In fact, I have worn uniform all my life, so I don’t mind wearing it or not, but I think it’s a good idea to wear uniform like in our school.

               *       ECLIPSE- Saint George 

The moon beam shines upon the valley                      

 at dawn all has gone dark as a forgotten ally.                                                                               

 People will come and go,                                                 

and footprints will fade and show.                                    

But even the merest eclipse                                                           

is magical just to catch a glimpse.                                    

             * *                                

The most powerful earthly source,                                         

whether it’s more than just a force,                                   

won’t compete with such a power                                      

as the world seen lunar shower.                                        

         * * *                                  ,

Midnight breathtaking gleam,                                           

Oh! How you make us scream.                                        All is  still in utter doom,

Your lavishly moon-shaped rains                                     

Stroll down the valley like tiny grains.

         

           * * * *

When the time comes to say ‘farewell’

birdies crawl into their nest

snails crawl back into their shell

people take a little rest.

     * * * * *

 Starry night, 

 bulky clouds, 

foggy sight,

scary sounds.

Calming waves,

nature's slaves,

all is still in utter doom, 

all except nature's eclipsed moon
