Things I love

I really love to cook, I enjoy cooking in my house for my friends or my family because a really love to ​ **cook**. I prefer to make cakes because I like sweet things but I cook **a lot** because I like all the food, vegetables, meat, fish I like all. I think one of the things that **made** me happy is to eat I think I'm very simple.

I really love reading. I always read when I'm going to work on the train and subway or at home when I have time. I read about one book every two weeks but is depends of the size of the book. I like to read all kinds of books but sometimes I read very boring books and I don´t like it. I especially like adventure and intrigue books.

Things I hate

I hate ironing, I really hate when I have a pile of clothes waiting to be ironed and my mother tells me to do the ironing. In my house is normally iron once a week and it´s terrible. My father and my mother have a lot of clothes that need to be ironed, I prefer to buy clothes that don´t need to be ironed.

I hate when I'm watching a movie in the cinema and people are talking all the time or their phones rings. I prefer to watch the movie at home with my boyfriend and eat popcorn and drink coke. Also I prefer to watch the film at home because the cinema is very expensive, for this reason I go to the cinema only every two **months****.**

Very good Rocio! I definitely agree with you on the things you hate!! My thoughts exactly!! Now try to correct your errors.

**__Thursday and weekend:__ BUILDING DESCRIPTION **

The most beautiful building in my town is my new aparment. It´s in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, in Madrid. Construction began in December of last year and will be completed in September of 2011. Inside my flat are three bedrooms, one living room, two bathrooms and a balcony. The size of the apartment is 88 square meters. The flat will be very bright because it has many windows. Every day I go to visit the building with my mother and my sister, we are very excited. My sister also has an apartment in the same building. The flat is very near to my parent`s house then I can walk to my apartment. I`m very happy because I will live  near my parents and my sister. I love Rivas because you can do many free sporting activities and  there are a lot of parks.

**__Monday:__ WRITING ABOUT WORLD CUP ** I saw the World Cup with my family at home. My father was very nervous and my mother was cooking because she doesn`t like football. I liked a lot the match because it was very exciting. I think Spain was the best. Spain´s team played very good and better than  Netherlands. I think the match was very long and I was very nervous and excited. Finally I was very happy because Spain was the champion of the world. I think we have the best players of the world.

My holiday began last week when I arrived to Krakow in Poland and finished yesterday when I came back to Madrid. I was with my boyfriend's family for a wedding in Krakow. The wedding was very nice and exciting, we ate and drank a lot. We visited Krakow. I think it is a very beautiful city and the city has a terrible history with the second world war. The typical food in Krakow is soup. That was terrible because the weather was very sunny and it was very hot. The typical drinks are beer and vodka. The hotel was terrible because in this hotel lived the gestapo during the second world war and the hotel was a prision for the jewish people. We visited many churchs, the jewish guetto, Auschwitz, the Oskar Schindler's factory and beautiful parks. I think it was a interesting __holiday__ because I learned a lot of history of Poland although the history of Poland is very sad.

Great Rocio

One day, Tom and Sally decided to go for a walk in the rainforest, they set off at 10 a.m and took two bags with them. Jack and Hillary didn´t go with them because they had prepared other plan before Tom and Sally decided to go for a walk. Tom and Sally found a snake while they were walking, the snake had been there a few minutes until they tried to throw it a storne. The snake had belonged to waka waka (a tribe). Then they were frightened and killed the snake. They got lost on the way back to the village because they were running to try to catch a rabbit for dinner. But they had forgotten a knife.
