MY EASTER WEEK IN FUENTERRABIA & END OF THE YEAR-by Casilda Troncoso

MY EASTER WEEK IN FUENTERRABIA

This past easter week I went to Fuenterrabia. It is in the north of Spain, in the Basque Contry and it borders France.It is small town located by the sea. I go there every summer and Easter Break because my father is from San Sebastian, a city that is 20 minutes away from Fuenterrabia.

I have a lot of friends there and during Easter we have made many fun plans for example, we went to San Sebastian on Monday and we wander around “ LA CONCHA” beach. On Wednesday , I went with my family to a near town called: Pasaia and we ate a typical dish from there: “Txuleton” . On Friday we had a sunny day , we took advantage of it and we went to beach and swam. On Saturday we went trekking to the mountain of Guadalupe. we went to bed early because we were leaving the day after.

I left on Sunday because I had to do homework. I had an amazing week and I´m willing to go back this summer.

END OF THE YEAR

When I think about school, I remember when I was 3 years old and it was my first day in school.

I can´t believe that now, I am 14 years old.

This year has passed very quickly and it has been one of my best years in my life.

One of the best things has been to meet my best friend. She has come this course and at first I hated her but when I sat next to her, we started to talk and I saw her best side.

In studies, I started off a little badly but now I have gotten good grades.

We are ending the course and I hope to have a good summer.

MY HOBBIES-by Álvaro Zunzunegui

                My hobbies

I have lots of hobbies, but I don´t have any better than another.

My favorite hobbis are: playing videogames, being whit my friends, playing sports (swimming, football, motorbike…). When I don´t have anything to do I like to play videogames with my friends, or play more sports. My favorite sport is motorbike. I think I´m very good at motorbike and my friends think it too.

About videogames: I like to play in my PS4, but also I like to play with my phone. 

MY SCHOOL YEAR-by Mario Campos

My school year:

When I began the school year, I never imagined I would come so far, not only in my studies or sports, but in growing up and increasing the number of friends.

When it comes to studies, I have always performed with good grades, but I am really pleased with myself for achieving such good grades in most of the subjects and although the exams haven’t finished yet I am feeling pretty confident as I have made a good performance so far.

At the beginning of the year, I already liked many subjects, such as maths, science or history but for an unknown reason I became to love them even more and currently they are my favorite ones.

In terms of sports, I think I have learned new things which will surely be taken into account in the future as they haven’t only made me better at these sports but made me a better person and taught me how to win or lose well and above all, how to always respect everyone.

I find it easier now  to express myself with strangers than I used to, and I am not as shy when I meet new people. In my opinion I have grown this year, not only physically but as a person. I see myself as more mature and as someone who can take things seriously when they need to be taken as such.

This year has been truly great. I would like to thank all of the teachers and students for such a wonderful year.

MY SCHOOL YEAR & ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN THE PLANET-by Marina Pérez

MY SCHOOL YEAR

This school year passed by very fast. I remembered the first day, I was a new student at school and no one knew me. I will never forget that first day.

I was a little bit scared because everyone had told me that the course was going to be very difficult, because there were new schoolmates and new teachers for me.

This year had two new subjects: Biology and Physics and Chemistry. I like Biology but in Chemistry, at first, I didn´t understand anything!

This year I went to Galapagar for the “Convivencias” and then, I went on another trip to Segovia. Segovia was so beautiful but the weather could have been better.

Finally, I love this new school and it is pleasure to be a part of it.

ENDAGERED ANIMALS IN THE PLANET

®                      Tiger

Recent studies indicate that there may be only 322 tigers left in their natural habitat. The deforestation and the hunt could mean their extinction. They are caught because some parts are used for Chinese traditional medicine, at the same time as their skins are highly valued and sold on the market. Also, because of the increasing sea level because of climate change.

®                      Polar bear

The polar bear in the Arctic is classified as an endangered species. It could become extinct in the next century if we keep up the warming in the Arctic. 

®                      Magallanes penguin

Previous to the oil spills,the problem for Magallanes penguins now is the loss of the fish that serves as food. Displaced by warm ocean currents, they fish away more of their usual spots, forcing this bird to travel further to find food.

®                      Red tuna

It´s a big fish that is located in the east and west of the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea.                                                                                    It has been used in the preparation of first quality sushi. The temporary prohibition of international trade in the red tuna could afford the recovery of this kind of overexploited species. 

®                      There are more endangered species like the walrus of the Pacific, the mountain gorilla, the monarch butterfly, the rhino of java or the giant panda.

®                      And in Spain...

In addition to share the global problems of red tuna, in our country we can highlight the presence of the feline that is most threatened on the planet, the Iberian lynx. It greases with only two hundred units in the world, located between Sierra Morena and Doñana.                                                  The division of their habitat, the loss of food and the mortality due to man, are their biggest threats.

MY SCHOOL YEAR-by Marta Labrado

My school year was very good. This year some things changed , we started with new class mates and different subjects. My class is very good; I’m with my friends and it's a very good class. The teachers of this year are good as well. They teach very well and if you don’t understand something they explain it to you again. The new subjects are good and I like them. The changes of the classes give you the opportunity to get to know other people that you don’t now. The trips of this year have been the Convivencia and Segovia. The trip to Segovia was a lot fun I think that we should do this more times in the year. One thing that I don’t like is that the teachers told us that we were going to go to the cinema and we didn’t go. But most of year was very good.   

MY SCHOOL YEAR-by María Lope

My school year

I am going to talk about my school days during this academic year. The days before starting school I was very nervous because the classes were changed and I didn’t know if I was going to be with my friends. In the end, I am with many of my friends, and I also like the rest of the people in the class.

I was also very nervous because of the teachers, because they weren’t the same as the year before, but finally I adapted to them and their work manners.

And also I felt nervous because everybody had told me that 3º of ESO is the most difficult year of ESO. Now I don’t think so, you have new subjects and you have more things to study, but I think that you also have less homework assignments and this is nice because I hate homework.

I liked very much the excursions. In the Molinos we had the opportunity to know better the people in our class, and in Segovia we visited a beautiful city and we had a lot of fun. In my opinion we should have more excursions.

This year passed by very quickly to me. I can’t believe that we will have the exams of the 3º term in 3 days. I am nervous about the finals because we have never had finals before and in some subjects we have a lot to study, but I think that I can pass them.

This school year has been one of the best school years, and I hope the next one will be as good as this one or even better.

OÑA-by Elena Saiz

 Oña by Elena Saiz

My favourite place to spend the summer holidays is Oña. It is 320 miles from Madrid. Oña is a small village in the north of the province of Burgos, between Cantabria and Vizcaya.

It is surrounded by large rocky mountains with abundant pine trees and crossed by the river Oca. In the morning you wake up to the songs of birds. This place is ideal for summer because the temperature is very pleasant, warm and sunny during the day and chilly at night. There are good country paths for bike riding and hiking in the mountains.

So, I think, Oña is a fantastic place to relax and for doing sport and having a good time.

Besides all this, Oña has an important historical heritage several Romanesque monuments, Gothic and Baroque.

Finally the food is delicious. Good meat(steak and lamb), fruit and fresh fish from the Cantabrian Sea.

It is an idyllic place for summer time.
