The first day without rain

Yesterday was the first day of the holly week without rain, and me and my family saw a lot of floats.

At 5:30 we were in Seville, we enter in the house were we had our balcony and we started to see a lot of floats. It wasn't raining and all the floats were in the streets. We saw all the floats.

We enjoyed a lot this day because a lot of people was with us in the balcony, we played some games and we didn't get bored.

At 00:30 we returned home, we took the underground, it was full of people, we had to wait for half an hour to enter in the train, at the end we arrive home at 1:30.

It's was a very good day and I hope that today is going to be also a very funny day, because if it doesn't rain we are going to see a lot of beautiful floats.

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.

My christmas holidays

Today, my Christmas holidays finish and I am going to resume how they have been.

The first week I went with my grandparents of Caceres to be with them on Christmas Day after been with them I went whit my other parents to celebrate with them the new year, those years were very funny because my cousins were there.

Now I have returned to Tomares and I am remembering my Christmas holidays as a good experience.

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.

Homecoming

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.
