Sense of humor
The sense of humor has a different meaning and it depends on the country where you are.
A good example could be the difference between the Spanish sense of humor and the British one, they are huge difference in which Spanish will find funny and which British people prefer when they make a joke.
It is well know that British´s one is a very acid and ironic humor, they enjoy pulling somebody leg until it makes someone feel absolutly ashamed.
In contrast the Spanish people choose laugh about daily situations which everyone could experiment one day of their life, common and embarrassing situations which might show a bad face from the society but in a kind way.
I don´t know much about which are the subject of irish jokes, besides i don´t know which regions are considered funny in England, in contrast, in Spain Andalucía is the land of art, and there you will find events relative to the humor like Carnavales, one week where people make jokes about what is wrong in Spain but the people who is the critica about enjoy listening a song relative a his/her own mistake.
To be honest, if i must to choose betwen the two differents senses of humor, i prefer the Spanish one, because i think that a joke should make you smile and it shouldn´t make you feel awesome bad

Absurd Story
Who can this man be! “Sheila wondered as she looked at the stranger standing at the front door”. He was the kind of man who look like really Smart, as an important persond; he dressed up a suit and apparently he was around the forties but extremely handsome.
She was making the dinner when he knocked the door urgently which had made her feel worried.
Hello, -Sheila whispered- , what do you want!
While he stared at her, he opened his arms and started to cry like a child.
Sheila i am so sorry, you don´t know me, but i am your brother, he murmured.
She was choked, and a few minutes later asked “What do you say!, i have no brother!!” after that, she started feel dizzy.
Suddenly, cameras appeared and the handsome man said: “Smile, we are pulling your leg” This is for MTV Channel.
After all, she smiled, because she was a cheerful, outgoing woman and she began laugh when she recognise her father´s face at the tv who was telling to her that it was his present for the awful gift that she had given him for christmas.
That was the way she learned that her father hate bowties, perhaps the worst way to learnt something because she was extremely embarrassed, but the most efficent at the end.

My town
At the center of Andalucia, in the midle of olive´s fields you can find the village of Alameda.
If you thought that you would find there skyscraper you are really wrong because it is the typical small white village which you usually find when you visit Andalucía.
With around five thousand inhabitants and ones of the best olive oil, Alameda is well known for its kind neighbors. Since the first moment you arrive you will notice that people are cheerful, friendly and, what it is very usual in Spain, noisily.
The reason for which it´s the worth to visit Alameda, but not the only one, is one of its tipical celebrations the Romería when you can enjoy dancing sevillanas and eating tipical food, like porra.
It is the 15th of May, and all the village is dressed for that event with farolillos and flowers which are in all its streets.
Furthermore there is a competition of floats where the imaginations always win and happiness can feel in the air.
I´d recomend it to anyone who wants to enjoy not only the good weather but also the healthy air of this village.

My nephew
My nephew Carlos is a boy who is taller than the other children of his age, he is thin with big eyes and a wonderful smile. He always puts spiky hair because he wants to look like R7.
But, the best thing about Carlos is his personality, he is gorgeous! And, why i say that? He always has a big smile in his mouth and is the kind of person who enjoy helping other people and he tends to make jokes about everything. He is lovely!.
In contrast he is a Little impatient and gets cross easyly, in spite of, in a minute he is laughing again, for that reason you would think that he is stubborn, but nothing else as far as reality, he is really easygoing and a cheerful person.
Carlos, as the other children of his age, like playing pc games, but he doesn´t spend all his share time playing these types of plays, since a year he is on a football team and he plays very well and his team has won a cup.
Moreover he goes twice a week at swimming pool because he is learning to swim, and this summer he can swim with nothing else as his arms. He is becoming a Little man.
To be honest, his favourite hobbie is the music, just a minute after he is awake he is turning on the radio, he doesn´t like to sing as well as he doesn´t like to dance, he only likes listenig music, and who know?, perhaps one day will be a famous DJ.
