__ **Wednesday** __ write about 2 things you love and 2 things you hate and give clear reasons. Write 3 to 4 sentences for each reason.

__Two things that I love:__

I love travelling around the world. I ** would like to know **other countries with different cultures and people. When I have enough money I always travel. I have travelled since I was 16 years **old.** My first trip was to Italy, I was there with my school friends. From 16 to now I have been **to** a several countries: Andorra, Portugal, France, Italy, **Czech Republic and England.**

I really love **photography**. When I travel, I take photographs about everything that I visit. I prefer **to take photos** of nature than monuments. The least interesting **thing for** me is to take photographs **of people**. When I go back home after each trip, I like organizing all my photos, to name them and to touch up the photographs that I don´t like.

__Two things that I hate:__

I hate cooking. It is really boring, because you spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Every day you have to **think about** the food ** for ** the next day and then, you have to be a creative person and, I am not. Furthermore, the **cooker** gets dirty and I don´t like cleaning it. I prefer to go to the restaurant and on holiday, if I have enough money, I always go to the hotel.

I really hate insects like wasps, moths, flies, spiders, bees,etc, because they are disgusting. When some of these come into my room and I see it, I scream, I leave the room, I close the door and I wait for my parents or my boyfriend to kill it. After that, I will feel better. If I was alone in my home, I don´t know what I would do.

__ **Thursday and weekend** __ write article about a a famous or your favourite building in either your city or anywhere in the world. THIS IS YOUR FIRST ASSESSED ASSIGNMENT. Also over the weekend try to complete all of unit 1 of your workbook!!!!

The most beautiful building in France is The Eiffel Tower. It is in Paris city and it is visited by millions of **people** every day. It is the highest monument of Paris. It was built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889. It has a height of 325 metres. It is near the Sena River. At the bottom it is wider than at the top. If it is windy, the tower will move and if you are climbing the stairs, you will be scared. At night it is more beautiful than in the morning, because it is illuminated and you can see it very brightly. Finally, nobody should go to Paris and not visit it. It is the most representative monument in this city. Paris is called the city of love.

__ **Monday** __ write about the impact of Spain winning the world cup on Spain and it's people

I´m really excited, because Spain is the winner. It´s amazing that **in** the first time **playing** the final of the World Cup, Spain **has** won. Spanish people **have been wishing for** this moment for many years. I was really nervous during the match, it was very difficult to win. Only three minutes before the end Andrés Iniesta got the goal. ** Spanish **football players are the best and **the dutch ** played very bad. They did a lot of **fouls** and the referee ** showed **many yellow cards and one red card. **The** **dutch** were really annoyed and when Iniesta got the goal, they were frightened. The match was very interesting and emotional. I hope this moment ** would be repeated** many times. The next opportunity to show who Spain is will be in the Euro Cup, in two years time. We are the champions and we will be the champions again. I am proud of the spanish team.

Great Maria now try to check over your errors.
 * I have corrected the exercises.**


 * __Wednesday__ **write the recipe for your favourite dish...bring in examples if you like!!

__Cuban Style Rice__

Ingredients: eggs (one per person), tomatos, salt, oil, parsley, garlic, one glass of water per person and half of glass of rice per person.

Heat up water in a saucepan. When the water is boiled, pour the rice and a bit of salt, parsley and a clove of garlic and wait to cook it. Meanwhile, peel a few tomatos and fry them in a frying pan with a bit of salt and enough oil. When the rice and the tomato are cooked, fry the eggs, one per person. Heat up plenty of oil in a frying pan and when the oil is very hot, pour the egg and a bit of salt on the yolk and then, fry it with a slotted spoon. Finally, the meal is served on one plate. Before that, take a bowl, fill it with the rice and pour the rice on the plate, put the egg on top of the rice and put the tomato around the rice. If you want to make a beautiful plate, you can put some banana or a sausage to decorate it.

**__Wednesday__** Holiday review of your last or best holiday THIS IS ASSESSED

My dream holiday would be to stay for one week in Barbados. The weather is fantastic because the days are sunny and you can go for a swim in the sea. The island is **fascinating**, it has forest and beach. The hotels are cheap and the rooms are very **comfortable**. Furthermore, from the room there is a beautiful view. People watch the beach or the forest from room. My favourite food is fish and there you can eat differents kinds of very healthy fish. If you are an active person there are some activities to do in the sea, for example, sailing, windsurfing or diving. But if you are a relaxed person you can sleep a lot or sunbathe as well. Finally, people are very kind.

Nice dream Maria!

__ Tuesday __

Tom and Sally set off at nine o´clock to go for a walk in the rainforest. They took with their rucksack. Jack and Hilary didn´t go with them because they prefered to stay in bed than go for a walk. While Tom and Sally were walking through the rainforest they found a treasure. It had been there for 150 years. It had belonged to the mother nature. They decided to hide it. They were really excited and they got lost on the way back to the village. Furthermore, they had forgotten to take with the mobile phone. They were missing when it got dark and they decided to make a fire. While they were trying to sleep, a monkey attacked them. They ran out very quickly. They survived in the rainforest drinking water and eating coconut. Jack and Hilary saw the smoke. When they found them, Tom and Sally were sleeping. They han been three days in the rainforest. Finally, when they got back to the guest house, they had a shower and a rest.
