From Sweden with love :)

These days my class and I are doing a special exchange.

This is not a physical exchange, it’s a virtual exchange. What’s this? A virtual exchange is an exchange you do by internet, sharing e-mails, doing blogs, etc.

We are doing it with a Swedish school, the International English School Nacka, in Stockholm.

Now we’re just sending letter to each other, but later we’ll send e-mails.

The name of my Swedish is Nora, and she’s 15 years old.

She has sent me two letters, and I also did. I think it’s really funny, because she writes to me in Spanish and I write to her in English, so it’s a little bit complicated, but it’s a good way of learning other languages, knowing other countries’ manners and making friends.

I’m really happy with this exchange and my Swedish friend, she’s really nice.

I love doing this kind of projects, it’s different and funny, and I think we learn a lot.

She was born in Paris, the year 1990, to Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, two English lawyers.
She lived there until she was 5, because then their parents separated, and she want to live to London with her mother and brother.
Since she was 6 she expressed her wishes of becoming an actress, and she acted in two school plays.
In 1999 started the Harry Potter's castings. She was only 9, but she was clear from the beginning she wanted to be Hermione.
The producers were fascinated for her self-confidence, and J. K. Rowling supported Emma since the first screen test.
The first movie was released in 2001. 

Critics praised the performances of the three leads, often singling out Emma for particular acclaim; The Daily Telegraph called her performance "admirable" and that "she stole the show".
Only with that film she was nominated to 5 awards, and she won the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress.
A year later she starred again as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and she received an Otto Award from a German magazine.
She interpreted in total 8 movies, and won 27 awards.

Chiva

The days 8, 9 and 10 of September Sonia, Claudia; paula and me went to Sonia's village Chiva.

It's a very big village close to Valencia.

We were alone, so we had to cook, clean the house, and do everything by ourselves.

The first day, when we arrived, Sonia's family were there, but they left the house that same day.

It's a big house with a very big garden.

We went to take a walk around Chiva. It's so nice!

That night we were cooking potatoes omelet and the oil feel into my arm, and so now I have a scar, and I had to spend the whole night with my hand in a water glass.

There was a pool, but only Sonia swam, because it was really cold!

One morning Claudia and Paula went to the supermarket to buy some milk, bread, chocolate, etc. and they got lost in Chiva!

They had to call Sonia to explain her where they were and explain how to come back.

Nero (Sonia's dog) also came with us, so we went to take a walk with him everyday.

The only problem was that the garden was full of cats.

The last day we had to clean the whole house.

I had so much fun and I want to repeat it every year!

A week in Denmark

Today, i want to talks about my travel to Denmark.
3 months ago, my classmates and we went to a foreign place for us, Denmark.
The 4th June, we took a plane to Copenhagen.
When we arrive a bus carried us to Aarhus, a small nice village.
The fist day, we went for a ride along Aarhus.
It is a very nice place, but the weather was too cold, in my opinion.
That night we slept in the school's gym, and we were freezing.
The second day the family came and picked us.
I went with a friend, Viki. Our Danish correspondent was Rasmus. His parents are Birne and Tom. he has two brothers: Mathias (17) and Joakim (5).
Rasmus plays piano and guitar, and he loves playing handball, handbold in Danish.
By day we did workshops related with the Viking culture. Later we stayed at home, went shopping, etc.
One day we went to a disco. There were Danish, German and Spanish people.
We visited museums and explored the village.
The last day we said goodbye to our friends and family, went to the airport, and flied to Girona, and then we took a bus to Valencia.
I loved Denmark and my experience there.
I will never forget my Danish friends and family.

Benlloch

During these days my village, Benlloch is celebrating the August parties.
It lasts 15 days. In these parties you can watch bullfights, go to different parties, participate in competitions, etc.
I've a lot of weeks there.
My friends and me have a big house where we stay all day long. We use to play cards, talk, etc.
Some nights we went to balls and stayed dancing all night long. And when the ball finishes, we go to sleep.
By day we participate in competitions, take a ride with our bikes, go camping in the forest, but we specially like going to different village's parties.
We do a lot of new friends and now we are inseparable.
This year, the committe has organized a special party; "remember". It's a party about a different time. For example, this year is about the 80's.
They played old songs and people were dressed like in the 80's.
I personally don't like bullfights, I think it's cruel, but I had to watch it every day.
These parties were unforgettable, and I can't wait to the next summer to celebrate it again!

When David was 8, her mother Clara got marry with an older man, Mr Murdstone. Mr Murdstone was a very rough man, and he hit David so many times.
One day Mr Murdstone decided that David to study in a school, so he sent him to the school in Yarmouth.
There David did a lot of friends, and learned so many things. But one day he received news from his home, her mother has died. David was really sad, and he came back to Blundstone. There Mr Murdstone said that David had to leave the school and start working.
He started his job washing bottles, which would then be filled with wine or other drinks.
David didn't like  his life, because he was only 10 years old. So one day he ran away from that city and he found his aunt, Miss betsey.
Miss Betsey adopted David and paid his studies, and when he was 17 years old, he went to London to think about his future job. There he met and old friend, Steerforth, and his new love, Dora.

He came back to England and confessed his feelings to Agnes.
