RED ISSUES _c2

I was eleven years old when I realised there were three sisters in my class ... they were skinned they had always the pale skin. They were good students, very quiet and really beautiful. That is why many boys stared at them for hours. One day while I was talking with my soulmate, we realised when the sun shines, they don't come when the sun shone, they didn't come... and it was very strange. What about them? What happened (T) with(prep) them? We didn't know it, but we decided we will discover it we will have discovered it. 


It was in the dinning room's school while we were having lunch (I'll help you rephrase this), when I heard a conversation about blood. This conversation

AN UNEXPECTED BIRTHDAY_c2

Ellie was a normal girl. She used to do what all teenagers usually do. She was in secundary secondary school. That year had been very hard to for her and her family, but specially especially to for her. The death of her grandmother Her grandmother's death changed her life completely, because she was the one of the family the one from the family who had the closest realtion relationship with her. Her grandmother had always been near next to her and she was biggest Ellie's supporter. For this reason, Ellie thought that year her family would make of her birthday a special day and would help her to get over to to be able to smile again. She knew that was a difficult thing because she hadn't smiled since she last had been with her grandmother, but she hoped it because she need needed it. She was really fed up of not enjoying life; she needed a second chance to be happy. 

And after a long time arrived the day the day arrived; her birthday. She had been nervous during the whole week because she didn't know if her expectations would come true that day. It was

WHY I PLAY RUGBY... (IN LOVE WITH RUGBY) _F

I started to play rugby when I was 14, in February, and It was because a teacher of mine explained to me how to play rugby and its rules. I'll never forget this. I remember my best friend and me, in the classroom, looking at the videos that our teacher was showing us, at the end of the video we looked each other, and we smiled like we were thinking the same. When the class ended I asked him, "do you want me to ask for a rugby team here?" he answered "yes, of course! I have fallen in love with it, it's so exiting". When I arrived home I asked my father if he knew about a rugby team in the city but, who knows something about rugby in Spain? Nobody. I looked up some contacts and after an exhausting search I found it!

I phoned my best friend, called Borja, and I told him that we had a team and we had to start to train that weekend.

Just in two months, we fell in love with it. Everything is perfect when I play rugby. Nobody is too tall, or too fat, or too slow or fast...everybody can play rugby, because there are all kinds of positions, if you are the strongest one, or the tallest one, or the fastest one...even if you're the slowest or the fatest one, any of your qualities will be great at rugby, sure.

IT WAS NOT MY FAULT_C3

My name is Jack, I'm a world recognized cyclist and I've tooken taken performance enchancing drugs.

I started to go cycling when I was 3 years old, and since then I can't think of my life without it. Soon I've started to improve, and the first titles have begun to appear.

At 18 years old, my name was in most newspapers of the country. The My dream was close to coming true (about to come true).

A year later a sponsor came to my house, in a little village, and the manager asked me if I wanted to be a member of their team.

Few months later I started training with my team mates and I've seen saw what the world of cycling was like: lots of medications and substances were in big bags, syringes in the bathrooms and some members of the medical crew were bringing them. If I wanted to participate I had to get into this world.

The results have been were excellent immediatly after. I've won some important legs cycling stages, but suddenly I've started to feel bad.

The best sailing day of my life_C3

I will always remember the day I got up with the right foot. It's difficult to say which is the best day of our lives. This happens because we have so many good memories and we don't want to choose just one of them as we want to remember them all as fantastic days, not only one. What I have decided to write about as the best day is one of these good days that I find special.

It was a cloudy grey day in summer summer day when I got up, and I felt so strange that I decided to lie down again and wait for a few minutes before going to have breakfast. That day I had planned to go sailing, so finally I got up and I went with my friend Nico. We reckoned that the sea was calm enough for us to go out of the harbour and sail to "s'Illa de l'Aire". Later on, when we were on our way there, hundreds of dolphins suddenly appeared all around us and began to jump in and out of the sea. We were really surprised to see so many dolphins and witness such a nice scene. We began to sail faster with them but when we arrived at the island , they disappeared into the sea.

I had never seen such an amazing thing in all my life, so I was thrilled and I realized that I would probably never see it again. It had definitely been the best sailing day of my life!

FORTUNE_C3

I will always remember 1 January 2012. In November, my family and I moved to the house of my grandparents my grandparents' house in sa Mesquida because we are were reforming remodelling/redoing our house. The Advantage that we were of being there was that I would often go fishing with my father but  we only fished caught small fishes fish.

One day before On New Year's Eve, my mother told me to start the year wearing red clothes since that I would give me good luck. I wanted to try it. How AsI didn't have any red clothes, I took a socks of my father pair of socks that belonged to my father. I really believed that I wouldn't have be lucky, but to try I wouldn't lose nothingI wouldn't lose anything if I tried. That day, we rarely woke up early and my father and I went fishing. I fished caught eleven enormous fishes, the biggest ones I had ever fished. I didn't believed couldn't believe it, it was so amazing.

I think that wearing those shocks gave me good lucky. After that event I wear and I will wear those special red shocks every 21 of December.

THE MILKMAN'S HONESTY _ F

There was a mikman who became wealthy cheating people and  selling a mixture of milk and the river's water which he had to cross with his boat to sell the  to his city buyers. One day he went to collect his earnings in order to buy a new and luxury boat. When he had the earnings with him and was crossing the river, the boat overturned and all of his money was swallowed by the river. The milkman was very sad, but at that time he heard a voice that came from the river: "Don't be  sad, the earnings you have lost are only the dishonest part that you have won".

In conclusion the moral is: be honest and earn money correctly and honestly.

A DAY AT THE AIRPORT_C3

At This time last year, my sister and I decided to go to Madrid. We went to visit our cousin and do some shopping. So, we  bought / got our tickets , we packet our bags and three days later we went to the airport.


At first everything was OK. The problem began when my sister forget left/forgot her bag at on the plane, in which were our identity cards. We didn’t realized that she had left it until, being at the airport exit, my sister wanted to call my mother to tell her that we had arrived. Then she realized that she hadn’t the bag on in which was also the her mobile phone. Afterwards/ Later, we went to the office of the company in which we had traveled to warn us that we had left the bag on the plane. I was very upset because of the 3 days we were going to spend in Madrid, we will had been only two, because we had spent all day at the airport and instead of spending three days in Madrid, we could only spend two.Finally, after waiting for 6 hours of waiting, we had recovered the bag. That was good news for me at that time, but at the same time I felt soo bad because we had one less day left to return to Menorca.

A FANTASTIC TRIP_C3

Two years ago, I travelled to Wien with my classmates. We were learning German so we decided to travel there.

We met at the airport, it was so early in the morning and we were very tired because the night before we had graduated.
First we went to Barcelona, where we spent a few hours, waiting to get another flight to Wien. When we finally arrived in Wien, we visited a lot of places.
We went to Mozart's house, where we could see how he lived. We also visited the palace where Sissi had lived, it was a very beatiful place, with some beatiful and enormous gardens.
The third day, we went by train to Mauthausen, where a lot of people were killed during the second world war. We could see where they had worked and where they had slept. It was very impressive.

We learnt a lot and we could practise German, but the best thing was travelling with my friends, we spent a lot of time together and we had a very good time, I would repeat it if I could.

A LONG FLIGHT_F

I will always remember that day. My parents and I were at Orly airport in Paris. We had gone to Disney Land and that day we were returning home. Unfortunately we couldn't fly to Menorca because there was "The Perfect Storm" and no plane could go out of Paris, so we had to spend that night there.

Next day my father was buying new tickets to fly when, suddenly many police and military personnel began to come. There was a bomb threat! People began running really scared. Experts revised the suspicious bag, meanwhile no one could leave the airport. All exits were watched by armed military.

Luckily it was a false alarm!

Finally we could return to Menorca without any problem and tell our experience.

THE MURDER - F

Tom was a boy who was eighteen. Since he was two years old he had been living with his adopted family, he had never known his biological parents but, on his eighteenth birthday, he received a letter with coordinates "19º45'N 96º06'E". These coordinates where from a village in Burma, the same village where Tom was born, this could be the clue to finding his real parents and he decided to fly to Naypaydaw, the capital of Burma.

When he got there, he took a cab to the village. The coordinates guided him to a small house, he rang the bell but nobody answered him. He noticed that the door was open and he went in. The house was completely empty, there was a box in the middle of the dining room, in the box there was a photography where the faces of a man and a woman were crossed out, and new coordinates below, the new location was from a hangar at the airport.

When he arrived there, he saw that the hangar's door was open and he went in, and a film started, the actor said that his parents were from the security forces and in a mission they killed the wrong man, who  turned out to be the actor's father, and then the film finished and behind Tom the actor appeared with a gun in his hands and he said, " Yes I killed your mother and your father and now I'm going to steal your life"

REAL ZOMBIES? MMM... NO

One day I was bored in my room and I've decided to read a book. For my surprise, this book was the most interesting book I've ever read. It tells a very interesting history about two detectives that was investigating a crime. They had found a video of the crime secene and thought the assassin will probably appear on it. And they were right, but the assassin was not exactly a person... They revised the viedo a milion times trying to believe it: the assassin was a zombie! Technical image experts confirmed that the video was not falsificated. A zombie had killed a person. How they were going to catch a zombie? Without any more clues, the detectives decided to return to the crime secene. While they were looking for something that was able to help them, they heard a noise. Suddenly, they saw a zombie runing towards them. Frightened, they took out their guns and the zombie stoped running at the same time that asked if the director had changed the screenplay. The detectives at that time were so confused. In the end, it was just a horror movie, nothing real had hapenned. Result that the director hadn't asked permission to shoot in the park, and the supposed crime was a hoax.

LOST IN THE FOG_ F

It was a grey and rainy day and we had just left the stables on our horses when the first drops began to fall. We didn't care.

We crossed the river and entered the wood which covered the mountain. Everything was green and a little stream run beside us towards the town situated at the foot of the mountain. We gallopped up and up without even seeing anything because of the increasing rain.
And then, the wood was behind us and there was only thick fog around us. I felt like in a story.
We arrived at the top of the mountain. On our way back, we realized that we had gone lost so we just started to ride downhill and found ourselves in a little town some hours later.

It the end, after another hour's riding, three soaked girls entered the stables. Soaked but euphoric. It had been a great adventure.

HE'S EVERYWHERE_F

You'll never believe what I'm going to explain to you. It's hard for me, so I can't imagine how hard it will be for you. But trust me, I'm being honest telling you I'm going to tell you all the truth. You're a privileged person, because I didn't do the same with the judge. I can remember it like it was yesterday although I wish I had forgotten it.

All started when I was fifteen, in the summer of '69. I went to a bar in Glasgow because we couldn't afford a TV at home and I needed to see the final of the Champion's League. It was Celtics against United. 
I went to a bar near home housed in a tiny and dark street. Inside, it was packed of people and very dark and dirty. It wasn't the most comfortable bar in the city at all. By my side there was a bald man all dressed in a big black coat. As soon as the match started, he offered me a cigarette. It was the first time I smoked, and I swear I didn't like it, it was awful! The man was so serious, but I made friends with him inmediately and he bought me such a big amount of drinks that I had to go to the toilet like three or four times.
It was late, the match had finished two hours ago and almost everybody had left. When we thought it was late enough, we left. Just in front of the exit, a man with a knife murdered him and told me exactly these words: 'Don't tell anybody, I'll be watching you'.

And he did, I've seen him every day of my life. I'm completely sure he's insane. I saw him when I went to Morocco in 2003, in my marriage, and I've seen him today in the bakery. I am very scared.

WHAT A DISASTER! _F

As we know fishing is a common activity in Menorca and my father loves going fishing on his little boat

One summer day my father went fishing with a friend . They were throwing the nets near the "Illa de l'Aire" when  they suddenly  saw a boat on the rocks and a man trying to refloat it. They obviously went to the island and helped him, but they couldn't refloat the boat, so they decided to go back to the cove. After a while, when they were almost back, the survivor  asked them if he could go with them the next day, because they had to take out the nets; they accepted and they arranged to meet at half past six the next morning.

They went to the island and they tried to refloat the boat again, but it was empty and the sea was rough, so it was impossible. Once they had taken out the nets, they went back to the cove. The survivor thanked them for everything and my father stood there for a while. After a few minutes a friend of his, who was also in the cove, called him. He was so worried because he had found a crushed boat on the "Illa de l'Aire" and the man wasn't there; he explained that he had phoned the police and while they were talking, some people were looking for that disappeared man underwater. My father couldn't believe it.

THE LUCKY BOY_ C4?

Once upon a time , there was a boy who was very poor. He was finishing his non compulsory studies. He didn't know what he was going to do next because of his family economic status. He really would like to study physics but he wasn't able to do it.

He wasn't an excelent student but he was regular and good. When the final exams had finished , all thestudents gave a party and he went, he was very drunk . He thought drinking was a way to escape from reality and not think about his miserable future. Suddenly , they heard a police alarm: the neibourhood had called them.

The boy ran as much as he could, he didn't know where to go and he went to the city center and while he was running he saw 20€ on the floor. It was 8a.m in the morning, he didn't know what to do with them and he decided to buy a Christmas lottery ticket. Fortunately, he won a prize and he could pay his studies. He was really lucky.

A HIDDEN WORLD_F

Here I was again, in a dark room. Chill crawled through my arms and I started to tremble. This was the third time I had had this dream, and every time it felt more real than the last one did.

Suddenly, two glowing and piercing eyes appeared in a corner, and a strong voice filled my ears immediately; "There you are" he said, "my lord told me you were coming, I was wondering how long could it take a human  to get here". I tried to say something but I couldn't say a word, my teeth were chattering heavily. He noticed and growled “You'll get used to it, now we have to go”.

What had seemed a dark room, lightened to let me see a beautiful icy landscape. Icicles could be spotted everywhere and the white snow covered the ground . We arrived at a huge palace made of ice and  from the time we entered I could feel how small creepy creatures were staring at me from hidden places through the frozen corridors. We ended up in an enormous room where a large figure with pointy ears, stood up in the middle. He looked directly at me and said with a smooth grin “Here you are, my Queen”.

JOIN OR DIE FOR BROTHERHOOD-C3

It was a dark night, the thick haze didn't allow us to see extent in the distance. The street lights were offering orange and purple colours while the man was advancing slowly through the street slowly . After today all betrayers will have died .


Meanwhile, in town the old Basilio was reading a fairytale to his grandson, Robert. The mild jingle of the clock's hands was relaxing. However, Basilio didn't feel well during the night. When he finished the book and left Robert asleep, he managed to go downstairs. At that moment someone knocked onthe door. Basilio's face was reflecting a terrifying expression. They had caught him.


Suddenly, a stranger entered the house with a knife in his hand. Firstly, with mastery and fineness stabbed Basilio time and time again. Secondly, he walked upstairs and opened Robert's door. Finally he took Robert with him in the sunrise brightness. A new member of the brotherhood.

MY FIRST BALEARIC CHAMPIONSHIP_F

It was the year 2010, I was 13 and I had just won Menorca's judo championship. I was so excited and nervous because I had many possibilities to win the Balearic championship too. My judomates and me, travelled to Mallorca the day before the competition. We were relaxing ourselves in our respective bedrooms when someone knocked the door very angry angrily. He was the Balearic's judo president and was looking for a guy who had thrown a glass since from  the balcony. Unluckily, he was a boy of in our team, and, because of this, we spent the afternoon in our rooms instead of in the hotel's garden.
This incident make me felt feel more nervous than at the trip's beginning of the trip. The day after, in the morning. the competition started and I couldn't move since I was on the tatami. It was so late... I finished the third and I had to wait one year to be a Balearic champion and go to the National championship. I think that, if the boy hadn't thrown the glass, I would have won.

THE STORY OF MY WATCH _C3

When I was about ten years old, my dad gave me a wristwatch for my birthday. Up to that that day, I had lost thousands of them. I used to forget them everywhere. But the one my father had bought for me was special. It was a sailing wristwatch, designed to clearly see the time missing left for the race to start, which is not always easy. Specially when there are big waves and a strong wind.

My father stared at me and said: "Don't lose it". He was serious and I knew I had to be careful with my new watch. I sailed with it for about six years. It became a part of me.

It sank some months ago. I was sailing in a national championship. I felt hot and I took off some clothes, including the wristwatch, as I usually  do. But I left  the watch on the life jacket, and when I put it on, the wristwatch fell into the deep blue sea, sinking too fast to catch it. I felt sad. But, actually, I knew I wouldn't have it forever. At least, I lost it while sailing, doing what I love to do.

JALEO PARTIES _ C1

It was a dark night of September (wo). The streets of Maó were full of people. The knights with their respectives horses went throught (sp)  the central streets of the major city to the town hall square. In that place was a popular festival called "jaleo" (use a relative) , that the horses went surround the square while the crowd of people was guiding them. Meanwhile, the orquestral band of Maó was interpreting a popular song known by all the minorcan people. The most important act (ww) took place in the town hall square, but also the knights went around throught the nearly streets between every round. In those moments, the people left a place a little time to repose (WW).

Nowadays, the popular "jaleo" is known as the main event in every city parties of (G/WW) Menorca and is one of the best turistic (SP) offers that the island can provide to (WW) their costumers in summer.

A DAY AT THE GYM-F

A month ago, I decided to start going to the gym because my mom told me that it was important to combine physical exercise with school work, and that way I wouldn't be be so stressed. When I started, a boy that works there taught me how to use all the machines and how to do the different exercises, so I could do them by myself when he wasn't there.


After a few weeks, I thought I had learned everything related to the exercises, so I told him that he didn't need to keep helping me because it wasn't necessary and that I was prepared to keep going on my own. Since that day, the boy stopped helping me and I started doing my own training using the bicycles and the running machines, I was so proud of myself.


The thing is, that the last day, when I had been using one of the bicycles for a few minutes, I noticed that he was looking at me and I didn't know why, so he approached me and said:

" If you turn on the machine, it will be better, because now you are doing basically nothing and that's why you are not tired"


Now, I'm too ashamed to go to the gym the days he works there.

YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE IN A FEW SECONDS_F

You don't know how fragile your life can be, until it happens. I have a family and friends who love me. They have always been here, but now I'm here as alone as I've ever been. In a few seconds, everything has changed.

I'm in a hospital room in a coma. Even though I have friends who are here for me and they want me to stay, I think I have no reason to wake up. It will never be the same anymore. I am seventeen years old, this is not how I'm supposed to be, this is not how my life was supposed to turn out.
Last night it snowed, and today, as all Sundays, we took the car to see our grandparents. My little brother, Nick, was so excited: my father had promised him to build a snowman. Now, I can hear my granparents talking with the nurses in the corridor: they say my parents died in the accident, and Nick wasn't strong enough to deal with his injuries, so he died some minutes ago. 

I can still remember those Sundays in my grandparent's house, when Nick tried to help my grandmother cooking. I remember watching it all and getting that tickling in my chest and thinking to myself: this is what happiness feels like. I'm not sure I will feel that anymore. I'm not sure I want to wake up.

A TRIP TO PARIS_C1

Shiro was a seventeen years (g) old teenager who had never travel  (T) to Paris. His parents were looking for a family to take care of him during his days (ww) in Paris. Finally they found one and sended (G) Shiro to Paris with  (PREP) plane, because he was living on an island called Menorca.

On the first day, he was really upset because when he arrived in  (PREP) the airport he couln't (SP) found (T) the familly who adopted Shiro. A few minutes later he saw his name in a little sheet of paper. He was supposed to spent  (SP)  only 2 days because the family couldn't afford paying more than 2 days. When the family toke  (SP) Shiro to home, they stopped in (PREP)  a typical restaurant to bought (G)  some food. 

On the second day, he was more than happy because he woke up and when he saw trought  (SP)   the window he saw the Eiffel tower, so he realised the family was living next to champs elyses, where is (WW/G) next to Eiffel tower ans (SP)  the Sena river too. The same day he visited the museum Louvre (WO) , he could saw (T) one of the most important picture made by Davinchi, La mona Lisa or the Jaconda. That's when he realised he made (T) his dream came true because he saw all the important things he love(T) . 

Finally, the night arrived (WW) so he could saw (T) all the lights switched on by (PREP)the Eiffel tower, that was very legendary (WW) . At the same time he was sad because his trip ended in Paris, so he had to land again ona a plane and came (WW) to the little island of Menorca. 

MY DIABETES STORY_F

My worst experience happened six years ago. I was ill, I had a high fever and felt dizzy. My parents decided to take me to hospital. I waited for a few minutes in the waiting room. Soon I heard my name and entered the hospital emergency department.

As soon I entered the box (cubicle), I had lots of analytical reviews and a combur test done. When they saw the test results they knew what they were suspecting: I had had a diabetic debut during the summer. I was very frightened because I didn't know what was happening and I neither knew anything about diabetes. 

At that moment all my life changed, I had to learn how to eat well and take insulin shots six times in a day. I also had to take my glucose levels before and after every meal. Everything was new for me. 

At first, I didn't accept my disease but afterwards I thought that I couldn't change anything. I'll have to live all my life with this desease and I had to accept it. 

During these years I have had some HI (high glucose levels) and they have taught me that doing things well is very important to control this disease. Diabetes is a difficult disease if you don't control it and it's more difficult in a teenager. 

Now, I really like to tell my story to help other teenagers with the same or another disease. The key to having a normal life with a disease is to control and accept the disease.

TRIP TO LONDON -F

Last year, my parents, my brother and me went to London. We went to visit my sister that was living there with her husband and my nephew. I hadn't seen them for 1 year, when they came to Menorca. I was very excited because I miss them a lot and Visiting London was a dream for me. I love that city because it's so pretty and I sometimes like a big city.

At first, we went to Barcelona where we waited for the next flight for three hours. This fligth took us to an airport that was next to London. After a day in airports and planes, we finally arrived at my sister's house. It was night time and my nephew had to sleep but he was very nervous and he couldn't. The next day we were very tired because we walked a lot, we went shopping and my mother loves it. She wanted to go to all the shops and my father got anxious because he hates buying clothes. The third day, we rented a car and went to Salsbury . We stayed two days there because we visited Stonehenge. We spent 4 hours in a car and that was so boring! When we returned to London we spent a day in Candem and other visting important places in the city, like Big Ben, Hyde Park,...

The trip had finished and I enjoyed it so much. I look forward to returning and seeing my sister and my nephew again.

An unforgettable trip_F

It was one of the most spectacular experiences of my life! It was five months ago, when I went to Germany with my cousins (Clara who is 17 years old and Luis who is 20 years old) to see my sister Paula, who was participating in an Erasmus programme in Leipzig.

On 20th June we met at Barcelona airport because my cousins aren’t from Menorca. Then we took a plane to Berlin. I was really worried. If my sister had known that we were travelling to Berlin, I wouldn’t have been so nervous. When we arrived in Berlin, my cousins and I went to the bus station. After a while we took a bus to Leipzig. In Leipzig we went to the residence where my sister was staying. When we appeared in her room, she was hallucinating. She couldn’t believe that she was seeing us. I was happy, I really wanted to see her, I missed my sister a lot.



In the end we had a fabulous trip, we had a good time together. We saw a lot of interesting things, for example, Beethoven’s house. Finally we spent two days in Berlin too.

TWO CAMELS AND A GIRL- F

My sisters and I were really excited because our parents had just given us a big surprise. We were visiting our aunt in Casablanca in two weeks! 
When we arrived, my aunt was waiting at Casablanca's airport. After two hours resting at the hotel we took our cameras and we went to the city center. We saw a lot of small markets full of little shops. They were selling typical dresses, shoes, food, jewellery... Everything was very colorful and I bought many things.
After that we decided to take a camel ride. When we arrived, the man who was looking after the animals looked at my older sister. He approached my father and they started speaking. After two minutes my father started shouting. The man had offered two camels in exchange for my sister!

My father said to the man that he was going to call the police. The man started running. When the man was gone we started laughing. We will never forget that man!

MY GRANDFATHER - F

I still remember the first time I met him. I was only seven and I was going to school. That day my mother had made me get up very early.

She came to my bedroom and she told me I had to dress very quickly. When I finished getting dressed I went downstairs and I saw a strange old man who looked like my mother. My mum started crying and I could not understand anything but as soon as my mother told me what happened, I ran towards him and gave him a big hug. That old man was my grandfather and this was the first time I saw him. My family had always told me that he was dead.

Thereafter I haven not separated from him. He is my second father and I am very happy to be with him. Every day since then we go out for a walk in the evening.

THE BEST TRIP- F

This is an adventure that I lived six years ago. I was in a train with my cousins, my aunt and my uncle. We were returning from France because we had spent some days on a boat along a river in France  These days were fantastic but the problems started in the train.

Suddenly, my cousin Susan was thirsty and there wasn't a bar in the train where we could buy some water. My uncle decided to stop at the next train station, buy some water and get on the train again. At first, everything was okey and my uncle left the train to buy some water, but when he was buying water the train left the station and he coudn't catch it. He had to pay for a taxi to return to Barcelona. My cousins, my aunt and I were in the train and we saw my uncle on the platform while we were leaving the station.

When we remember this story everybody starts to laugh because my cousin coudn't drink during the trip and my uncle didn't catch the train. It was an exciting ending of the trip.

AN UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE_ F

One day I was going to the bank and suddenly I found a wallet in the street. It was black and inside there was a lot of money. I decided to take it to the police but they didn't want to know anything about it. I was disappointed, it was unforgivable! If the police are supposed to protect us, I won’t trust them any more.

Then, I decided to show the same worry as them and I kept it. After that, I thought about the person who had lost the wallet and I felt guilty. 

The following day, I wanted to let the press know that I had found a wallet. To my surprise, the owner of the wallet contacted me. I felt pleased with what I did.

LUCKY GYMNAST _ F

This is the story of Marta, a gymnast who was 17 years old when she was called to go to an international championship in Amsterdam. Marta had been training hard for 10 years in Barcelona and at the same time she had been studying. This teenager was very thin and tall and she was able to do it thanks to her strong personality.

3 days before the championship, Marta fell down while she was training and broke one finger. Although she was very sad and disappointed, Marta decided to keep on. However, her trainer and the doctors advised her not to do it and try the following year. But Marta didn't follow their advice.

The competition arrived and when all the gymnasts were preparing to start, the championship was postponed because there were some technical problems. Fortunately Marta improved and she could participate in Amsterdam one month ago.

A STRANGE EXPERIENCE _F

I will never forget a special sailing champioship in Palma de Mallorca in 2010. It was a qualifier competition for the national championship, that`s the reasson I was so nervous and excited at the same time. As all the competitons my coach and my father came with me, because they had been teaching me and preparing me for it.

The first day the weather was perfect for me. I used to sail in Palma de Mallorca, so I know how the wind and waves were there. After I had done 3 races and had been sailing for more than six hours I was exhausted but at the same time extremly happy; becasuse I had sailed perfectly and got good positions in the 3 races. At that moment I was qualified for the national championship, something I couldn't believe and made my father  proud  of me. The next two days the wind started to become stronger, which didn't let me sail well. But I didn't know that the worst day of the championship was  going to come. 

The last day was like a nightmare for many of the sailros but not for me . I can remember that this day only group A was available to sail because of the gigant waves and strong wind. I have to recognise that I was a bit frightened because I found one girl swimming without her boat because of the storm.

So that's why I couldn't sail in the national championship, but the experience of sailing in the middle of the storm was in part nice. 

SHE NEVER DREAMED AGAIN

It was still very dark outside, but Becca decided to leave the house anyway. She started wandering around the parkway like she did yesterday, the day before and the day before that. Again, there was no luck. The parkway was dead silent and there was no sing of life except for the gloomy looking trees on the side of the sidewalk. However, she kept on walking until she arrived at Joe's house and knocked on the door three times. ''It's me! I know it's early but I couldn't wait any longer. I have to tell you what happened!'' Becca said. She was kind of worried that he wasn't opening the door so she broke into his house through the window. ''Joe, where the hell are you?'' Becca yelled, but no answer was given. She went into his room and started looking for any tracks he might have left, with no luck. She sat onto his bed and waited for something to happen, and it did. Cars passed by, doors opened, there were people outside. That's when she realised that everything was going back to normal. The dream had ended. She would never see Joe again.
