Today, I'm going to speak about an English book which I have read during those English classes.
This book was about private investigator that one day a strange woman ask him for help, because he had to take some jewelry from a bank. But this woman was not what inspector Marley thought, and he had to solve a very big case in which he is in jail, in the limousine of a very strange man. There are also murderers and rich men with a lot of problems.
I have enjoyed this book a lot, because when you start reading you can't stop, it is not boring.
I recommend this book because I think it is very funny and you also learn a lot of English.

What's in the jar?
Last week we did an activity for an English project named "what's in the jar?", we had been working on it for a long time ago.
First, we divided the class into different groups depending on what charity we were supporting (animals, people in need, dogs...etc). I was supporting dogs and me and my group search about some charities who helps them, finally we found a charity named RSCPA and we decided to support it because it was one of the most important charity who helps animals.
We thought about some activities we could do to raise money for the charity, one of them was a marathon in which you had to run with your dog, another one was a swimming race with the dog too. We prepared a presentation where we explained our charity and our idea to raise money.
When all the people present their activity we vote for the best one, and the winner idea was from the group who was supporting Caritas, their idea was a game in which you had to guess the number of candies that were in a jar.
After choosing the activity we started to organize it. We started dividing the tasks, some people was in charge of putting posters on the high school, other people was in charge of printing tickets, and all the class was in charge of supporting the activity on the social nets. We also write some formal letters to caritas and to the principal of the school, we write them in English and in Spanish.
On Friday the 10th we did the game, we did it on the playground and we collected a lot of money.
On Thursday the 16th we did it in the other part of the high school with the small children, we also collected a lot of money. At the end we gave the money to Caritas, they thanks it a lot, and we gave the price to the winner of the game (Paula Ruiz).
In my opinion it was a very good way to raise money for a charity and it is very important because in this time the charities need the money.

My ability
One of my abilities is playing music. I can play the guitar, the piano and also the percussion.
I started playing music when I was 4, at the music school of Tomares . When I was young I didn't practice so much, but now I practice 1 hour each instrument per week. I have been playing music for 11 years.
I think playing music is very useful, because when you are stressed if you play music you relax yourself. It's also very good when you feel that you can play a song that you like. The music have a lot of advantages.
When I play music, I feel very good because it is very comforting to play an instrument and the people who are watching you are enjoying your performance. You feel very happy.
That's why I like my ability, because I have enjoyed the music all my life.

New Year's Eve (Spanish tradition)
I want you to know how we celebrate christmas:
New Year's Eve is celebrated on 31 of October, people usually celebrate it at home, at work, in the streets...Spain has lots of different traditions, people drink, eat... In Spain, we dinner whith our family.
We eat the grapes watching the TV, in every channel, there are people presenting the 12 strokes of the midnight. The presenters are usually famous people, and it is a privilege for them to present it. The channel connect with "the door of the sun" in Madrid, and when the bells strike we have to eat a grape.
I think that Spanish traditions are very beautiful, everybody enjoy it a lot, but there are a lot of people that are alone during this days, or working to maintain their family.

Song project: homecoming (pictures and descriptions)
The fifth picture is Chicago city, it is in the centre of the United States, on the south east coast of the Michigan Lake. It is in the state of Illinois. The connection to the song is that the singer was bred in that city and in the songs he says he wants to return to that city because there he met a girl when she was young.
In the first picture, we can see a boy and a girl holding their hands. They have just met each other and from that moment, they fell in love. I think that this image is really romantic because since people are young they can feel the same as old people.
The last photo is spontaneous and natural. The relationship between the photo and the song is that the man is Kanye West (the author of the song) and the girl is the woman that he knew when he was little.
In the forth picture, we can see a girl and a boy hugging each other. They’re at a train station, so maybe they are saying good bye, or they can be meeting again. As the song says, it’s always a pleasure to come back home, and meet your people.
The second image represents the part of the song when the woman leaves the man carrying with their children, and the man says that you don’t know what you have until you lose it.
The third image, are fireworks at the Lake Michigan, the singer repeat at the last verses that maybe the girl remember them.

Making scary movies
Last week we make a film for an English project, we did it in group and we make a "scary" film.
We didn't have problems editing the film or with the lights, our problem was the shooting, because we laugh a lot and we can't do it fast, we spent a long time doing it, but at the end it was good.
Making the film we learnt some new words and also how to edit films, but the best thing about shooting was that we laugh a lot. We made lots of mistakes while shooting and also we were laughing all the time.
I thing that making films was a very good experience and we learnt and laugh a lot.

Thanksgiving day
Today, is thanksgiving day and I want to say thanks to my parents, my grandparents and also to my friends, because they have thought me lots of things about life.
My parents have thought me lots of things about life, like how to respect other people, how to solve problems and also they have been with me always. They have helped me when I was having a problems and they have also thought me what things I have to do and what things I don't have to do to avoid problems.
My grandparents are also very important people for me, because they have thought me very important things that they have learned on their life.
My friend have also thought me lots of things about life that my parents or my grandparents can't thought me.

Sport profile
The
history of table tennis
Table
Tennis likely began as a social hobby in England toward the end of
the 1800's.
The
recreational game lost some of its popularity until various groups
around Europe revived it as "table tennis" in the 1920s.
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) was formed in 1926.
The sport soon spread to Japan and other Asian nations. The Japanese
dominated the sport for much of the 50s and 60s, however the Chinese
soon closed the gap. China alone dominated the sport for much of the
60's and 70's, but after Table Tennis became an Olympic event in the
1980's, other nations such as Sweden and South Korea have joined the
top ranks.
The
most important international competitions are the World Table Tennis
Championships, the Table Tennis World Cup, the Olympics and the ITTF
Pro Tour.

1000 cranes for peace
Are you shy or you don't have many friends?
Some people have problems making friends, because they are shy or they don't speak so much. These are some problems of some students at school or in other places where there are many children. When they speak to other people they feel very bad and they become nervous. But other people have many friends because they are very friendly and kind.
-Tips for people who want to make friends:
1-Be kind with people.
2-Speak with people trying not to get nervous.
3-Think that all people are the same.
