I love +++ go to concerts. I usually go to concerts every month, I think +++ is one of the best things of living in a large town like Madrid. Many international artists includes Madrid in their tours. +++ Last concert I´ ve been +++ was KISS. It was very funny. Lots of people with their painted faces singing “I was made for loving you”. Even I saw a four members family with painted faces. And I couldn´t take my camera there because security agents search __**them on**__ people´s bags.

I hate to wait. Wait for somebody in a meeting, waiting my turn in a queue. I hate to wait for the bus. I think we lost a big piece of our lifetime waiting.

I hate ironing, specially in summertime. +++ Too __** much **__ hot. I can´t do it well. And it´s full of possibilities to burn __**up**__ me. When there is no crease in one side of my shirt, the other is full of them.

I¨m going to talk about the Alcazar of Segovia. I spent several years of my life in Segovia. This is one of the most important buildings of this town. It´s on the outskirts of the city. It´s an ancient castle. It stands on the cliff above the point where the Eresma and Clamores rivers meet. It belongs to the spanish army, but can be visited by tourists. Some kings of middle age lived there like Enrique IV and Alfonso X The Wise. Later +++ was used like a state prison. Nowadays it has a museum. The great western tower, called "Torre del Homenaje" has a view from the top that is one of the most beautiful views that I +++ never seen before. A drawbridge over a deep moat leads to the fortress in its privileged position. I visited the Alcazar several times while I´ve been in Segovia, every relatives or friend who visited me we rose at the top of Torre del Homenaje and enjoyed the view. [|Alcazar de Segovia]

It´s a dream come true. Not many years ago, Spaniards felt very far from being winners of a world championship. It was almost impossible. There is a common feeling that we never could win a big championship ever. There is a famous sentence that says: “We played the best way ever, but we lost as usual”. Many times of sadness and frustration. But now all of these feelings are gone. And It´s gone that way to see everything. It´s time to remove old complex. We believe in ourselves. We can do everything that we want. We have come here to stay, and to win. ======

Great Veronica love the passion in your World Cup speech!!

 * Holidays **

Last year I spend my holidays twice in Berlin. My boyfriend was working there and I went to visit him. It was in August and September. I stayed in Prenzlauer Berg and Kreuzberg districs. There was a lovely weather. Is not so heat than Madrid. Berlin is a very special town and is a fantastic place to spend holidays. It´s full of parks, green areas, bars and terraces. People drinks big beers bottles on the street. Everybody rides on bikes. I rent one and went over the town. You can find anything you want anytime. It´s cheaper than Madrid. I visited the Reichstag, Pergamon´s museum, Botanic Garden and Berlin´s Zoo. The Berlin´s symbol is a bear. Berlin´s typical food is Currywurst, a kind of sausage with an spicy sauce. Everybody eats it. I´m looking forward to go back the


 * Rainforest Adventure **

Tom and Sally set off very early at six o´clock in the morning. They took their rucksacks and water bottles and started to walk. Jack and Hillary didn´t went with them because they went to sleep too late the night before. Later, when they were far from guest house they saw a strange creature in the thickness. They were frightened and started to run across the rainforest. Soon they realized they were lost. There was no light, it was dusk. They have forgotten to get the torchs with them. So, they decided to make a fire in the middle of the forest and try to sleep. When they were almost asleep, they heard a strange noise. They jumped and started to scream and run again. When Jack and Hillary found them, they were embrancing one another and soaked. They had been there for 24 hours. After that adventure, they went back to the guest house and after a long warm shower and a good dinner, they could rest quietly in their bed.
