Announcement of the launch of the new volunteers group!!

We're going to do volunteering works to help our community. In that way we can raise money and then donate it to communities in need in other countries.

We will meet all Fridays in the west park and our goal will be to clean the grass, the playground areas and the lake zone. To be part of this project you only have to be 16 or older and you have to be responsible and polite.

When we finish we will take the rubbish to a recycling plant and they will give us some money for it. We will post information and some pictures and videos of the process in our social media.


Ex 3, page 47

Writers are normally focused in spreading their works and knowledge as much as possible, that's why they have started using blogs. Blogs allow them to write short or long texts and to choose between multiple topics. It also allows them to reach a lot more people than if they sold physical books.

From my point of view, blogging is a very useful tool for starter writers and people who use writing as a hobby,but, if you want to become a famous writer you will sometime have to change and start writing in paper, because people who are keen on lecture usually prefer physical books.

Our trip to Ireland (writing)

I went to on Saturday 24th of March,we woke up very early and took a bus from Villamayor to the airport,then, we took a flight and arrived to Dublin. Antother bus moved us from the aitport to our host town, Rush.

We stayed at a small house far away from our school for the first days with our host family.The mother, Margaret, and the big sister Hazel were very nice. The other family lived in a beautiful neighbourhood near the beach  and the sea. I enjoyed a lot watching the sunsets there, they were beautiful. Our second family was younger, the parents ,David and Sarah were very nice and friendly ,and they cooked so well! They had a little daughter called Charlie ,she was five, and a son , Carter, who was three, they were so cute. The first day, on Sunday, we went to visit Glendalough, it was very interesting and it had beautiful sights, it was a windy day but I enjoyed it anyways. We had English classes the rest of the days from 9:00 to 12:45. Our teacher ,Orla, was lovely,she was always happy and enthusiastic. I learned a lot of vocabulary and practiced my pronunciation. I loved the classes because I learned a lot but through entretainig activities. On Monday after lunch we went to visit Dublinia, a wax museum about the history of Dublin. After having dinner we went bowling and I lost but it was what I expected so I wasn't disappointed anyways. On Tuesday we went to visit Croke park, the biggest stadium in Ireland. There we learned about the Irish sports hurling and gaelic football.
 
After that and having dinner we went to see greyhound racing, Ididn´t enjoyed this very much a lot and it was very cold but it wasn't so bad. On Wednesday we went to see the Archeological Museum, we didn't had a guide or a lot of time so, I think I could have enjoyed more than I did. The next day we had a guided visit to GPO, I think this is the day I enjoyed the most. I found it very ineresting and the guide was very nice. The last day we went shopping and I had a great time with my friends. The weather was very good all the week and it didn't ain so we could do all of our activities. I was very touched by the last day when we had to return to Spain and leave our host families.I was very thankful to them. On Saturday the 30th we took a flight back to Spail and a bus to Villamayor, where I met my family again.
