Pompeii

Here is our group during our visit to the city of Pompeii - We found it really fascinating!!

-->

Ancient city of Campania, Italy, 14 near miles south west of Naples near Mt. Vesuvius, built on a spur formed by prehistoric lava flow to the north of mouth of the Sarnus river. 

Pompeii was destroyed, together with Herculaneum and Stabie, by the violent eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79; the circumstances of their preservation make their remains a unique document of Greco- Roman life.

 The modern town of Pompeii ( pop.1981 prelim. 22.896) lies to the east it contains the basilica of Santa Maria del Rosario, a pilgrimage centre.

Ramon, Pablo and Tomás prepared this text about this old city

Well, the time has come. These are your final days at school. The exams have finished and  now you are all preparing yourselves for the graduation ceremony and the dinner and dance with your classmates, friends and teachers. 


This post is just because I wanted to say goodbye to you all and wish you the best luck now that you are about to leave the High School.

As I have not written in this this blog for a whole year I have almost forgotten how to do it. In fact, I am not inspired. So I have searched the Internet to find some useful advice to give you for these important moments that you are living now and for your future life.

I think this is really interesting:


"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." - Steve Jobs

All my love! Good luck!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 !!!!

 Happy New Year 2014!!

I wish you the best things for this New Year that is about to start.

I just wanted to say hello again and wish you a very Happy New Year.
I think these words that I have included in the post are really appropriate for this time of the year.  They were written by an English writer that perhaps you already know. His name is Neil Gaiman. Perhaps you have read his comic books series, The Sandman or some of his novels,  Stardust, American Gods, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book.

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”      Neil Gaiman

A summer job.

Dear Pilar,

I'm Rocío, I'm 17 years old and I'm studying Bachillerato. I'm writing in response to the advertisement for a person to take care of young children which appeared in a newspaper on 1 June 2013. I would like to be considered for the position and enclose my CV.

I think I'm the right person for this job because I have had other jobs to take care of young children. When I was 15 worked looking after a boy and his little sister. I have worked in this job for one year. Their mum was very happy with my job.

I am patient, I treat children as my mom taught me , I am organized and hard-working. I would also describe myself as very humble and cheerful: I am the perfect clown to make children laugh. I love children and they love me.

I'm available from the month of July. I really love this job and I would be happy to attend an interview. I look foward to hearing from you soon.

Your sincerely,

Rocío.

Discussion Essay. Experimenting with animals is immoral.

This topic is very interested to discuss because many people have different opinions about it. Ther are arguments both for and against it.

On the one hand, animals feel pain when humans experiment with them. Humans doesn't worried about the feels of the animals and they only look for their benefit.  

Experimenting with animals is immoral because some animal testing, such as research in to cosmetics, is unnecesary and the people aren't awareness about the bad condition of a few animals testing.

On the other hand, many experiments are necessary to save a lot of lives of human diseases and cure many sick. Scientists have to think that they are doing the best work because they find the way  to save lives.

In my opinion I'm against that the animals be used in unnecessary research and I think it is immoral because animals are too cute to suffer.

Story

The power of the frog

Once upon a time there was a king and queen. They lived in a lovely golden caravan and had a beautiful daugther, Cornelia.

But Cornelia was very unhappy. She never laughed or smiled.

''we will give a ring to the person who can make Cornelia happy'' said the queen. A musician came and played the piano, a fairy said a magic spell, and a jocker came and told jokes, but Cornelia didn´t smile or laught.

A young gardener came to work at the Queen's caravan. He came with his little frog. One day Cornelia saw the frog and started to smiled- then she laughed.

The queen heard her daughter and saw the frog. The frog was happy to get a ring.
