I think my Sunday  was pretty good . In fact, on Friday I had a cold  and I  had  sore throat ,too .It hold on until Saturday and  I was all the time with a tissue,but  the next day I was better.Then on Sunday I went to the beach,Swallow beach.Also the weather was very good , the sea was like oil and I swam there ,I ate something and in the afternoon we went home.That was my Sunday.

My thoughts about the movie ''Freedom writers''

I always believed that race and colour don't count amd of course I've encouraged many people to change or try something they wanted. Eventually they always succeeded.
''Freedom writers'' was an incredible movie about people of different race who believed in themselves and did their best. They had a little help from their encouraging and clever teacher, but in the end they made it! And you know why? Because they tried harder and harder, they worked, they studied and eventually they got what they wanted. They went to college, where they worked the hardest they could to have a great life.  
If you want to succeed, you have to remember that you are going to fail many times, but that doesn't make you stupid, it makes you stronger. We always learn things from our mistakes. So do your best and you will always succeed.

When you go on holidays you always have to use some tips to help you to survive in this extremely hard world!!😂

⇛First of all, when you go to a new country, you MUST know English or the language which is being using in the country you visit or you will be like Hector whose English doesn't make sense!

⇛Check the weather forecast and take the right clothes with you! 🌈

⇛Take enough money with you so you can buy anything you want without thinking if you are going to run out of money!

⇛Take your phone with you so you can communicate with your friends and family and take your earphones with you too!!!

⇛ If the weather is good, take for sure a sun cream and your swimsuit.🌞

⇛Be sure that you have a map, so you won't get lost!

These are my tips and I wish that you will find them useful!!😊

Top 5 tips for your holiday.

As everybody knows, parents are keen on photography and much more ,so that they make you all the time stay and smile on ,just because they want to take a picture of you,  on a tower for example.

So ,as a teenager, you should know these tips ,just for you!You don't have to spend much time or do something differrent or unusual,you just have to listen to me.OK? FINE.

The first one is to take your camera in order to take pictures of you,whenever you want.The second one is to take your own luggage, so that you don't have to make arrangements for how many clothes you will take.The third one is to take your bottle of water, so that you needn't ask them, all the time to find a place for water.However, if you do that on the way to the supermarket, they will make an excuse to take a picture of you again!The fourth  one is to have your own money, because if you ask all the time, for just 1$, they will waste all their coins, so that you won't be able to to go to parks that need coins!

Finally, the last one is to read our article and take our tips for a fabulous family holiday!

Ways to protect our planet

There are many problems in our planet, but people are trying to find solutions.

In the first place, I would like to use our environment with care. For example, we can recycle more glass, more plastic, and other things like metal, clothes, shoes and plastic bags. Also, we can make something new from our old clothes like taking an old t-shirt and doing it a scarf. It would be an excellent idea. 

Secondly, it would be very useful to have new methods of transport like making electric cars, electric ships, electric planes and electric motorbikes. It would be really good for the environment becaus e there would not be so much air pollution. Also, l would prefer scientists to make jetpacks because it would be faster than other 
methods of public transport, so we would be at school in five seconds!

Finally, I would like scientists to invent something new that would help our lives to be easier than these days. If scientists did this in the future, we would be very happy and we would have better lives.                                                   

Film review

 Last week, I watched an amazing film To all the boys I've loved before. It's a romantic film, about a girl who wrote a letter for every boy she liked, but she always kept the letters for herself.

 I really liked it, because I like romantic films that are based in real life, The actors were talented and the songs were serene. The actors didn't wear special costumes, because it wasn't a science fiction movie.

 The only bad thing about the film was that it's only available on Netflix, so you have to pay 10 per month if you want to watch it. So you can't watch it unless you have Netflix.

 On the whole, it was an excellent film that everyone would be interested in, even teenage boys. I would absolutelly recommend this film to everyone. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Read about England and do the online activities

I haven't tried it yet

"I haven't tried it yet"

   I've always enjoyed sport and done lots of different activities either at school or at the sports centre. I've played volleyball, basketball and football since primary school and I have been in a volleyball team for two years.

  I haven't liked every sport that I have tried. One sport that I hate is table tennis because is so hard. Last year, I was in a trip with my school and we played table tennis. As soon as we started playing, the ball fell out from table - It was annoying-. I don't want to play again except when I'm playing with friends for fun.

  Some people don't like doing sport, but they enjoy watching it. There are lots of exciting sports programmes on TV. My friends and I like watching extreme sports, like kickboxing or skydiving. I haven't tried an extreme sport yet but if I had the chance, maybe I could do it.
