CONTADOR LEAVES “LE TOUR DE FRANCE”
I am a person who likes sports. I enjoy very much running, cycling and swiming. I've done some run a few races along in (or during) my life and the cycling races are the worst. There is no danger with running or swimming, but the cycling races are different.
Cyclists should have some skills like endurance, technique and courage. In my opinion the winner of a bike race should be the most endurance sportman with the best edurance, but it doesn't happen. Sometimes there is a couragiouse cyclist who will take some risks and finally get to win the race.
This year “Le Tour de France” have has some danger stages which benefits the technical and couragiouse competidtors.No hay muchos problemas. Muy bien escrito :)

Yesterday on July 14th, it was National Day in France. It was a free day for every French person. I went to see the fireworks which took place on the beach. Even if I am getting older I am still amazed and delighted when I look at fireworks. Then At this that moment, I say to myself that there are as many lignts in the sky as in my eyes!
Very well written. Français can be translated as Frenchman, but French person is better if the gender is not specific.

(*well*) I am looking for someone who I can practice English with mi English.
Using "Well" s not really necessary in english. It is a very common thing for Spanish speakers who are used to using "Pues" but not needed. Although you could use "OK" or "So" in the same situation.
Hola Medievals
0 votedJuly 7, 20141- ¿Puedo aprender español en noventa dias? Hace alrededor diez años, compré una guitarra. Yo nunca había tocado una guitarra antes esto, pero yo pensé, ¿por qué no?. Claro, tengo más que cuarenta años pero si nunca tratas, nunca sabes. Así yo compré un libro se llamó "las primeros lecciones de guitarra" lo que fue escrito por guitarrista Argentino, Julio Sagreras, temprano en el siglo XX. Las lecciones fueran escrito en un estilo muy sencillo pero todo en español. Esto no hubo un problema, porque musica es una idioma mundial, las imagenes mostraron dondé poner mis dedos y paso a paso aprendí los basicos. Despues de esto todavía tuve mucho de aprender pero supe que cualquier cosa fue posible. Hoy he tocado muchos veces y muchos lugares para muchas personas y fabrico mis propias guitarras. Así, ahora yo sé, nunca tienes demasiado edad de aprender algo nuevo. ¿Puedo aprender español en noventa días? Quizás sí o quizás no, pero ¡si nunca tratas, nunca sabes! Hoy es día numero sesenta, yo sé unos basicos, ahora necesito hablar más. Si quieres practicar tu inglés y me ayudar con mi español en skype, me llama. :)July 6, 201441
The painting on the stone
Yesterday morning, I went to the beach with my mother to the beach. There were so many people that we couldn't stay anywhere! I used to spend my free time there when I was a child. I loved playing with sand and going into the sea! I used to stay almost three hours in the sea without going getting out!
Now, I'm afraid of the sea. I think it's because I'm afraid of animals and because when I was a child, I'm not aware of I didn't know about fish. I've not I haven't swum in the sea since five years ago, but I think I'm able to swim now. I'm afraid of animals because I suffered trauma when I was 3 years old after a dog made me to fall knocked me to the ground and stood up on me!
Anyway, I was talking about yesterday morning. Finally, we decided to go to the castle that is in at the end of a long stone bridge that crosses the sea until to the castle. It's really very beautiful. When we were almost in the castle, I turned my head, because I saw something. There was a man who seemed to be a fisherman because he had long hair and his skin was dark because of the sun, but he wasn't the thing that attrackted attention to me. He was selling some stones that he caught in collected at the beach and they were painted with a beautiful picture of a landscape!! I had to buy one to give it to my best friend and I did it. The man was very friendly and I could buy it for only 5 euros!
I hope one day I can paint the stones like that man does!!
(I know that I've made many mistakes, but I've tried to use other phrases to learn more English!)Sí, hay muchas maneras de decir la misma cosa en inglés. Lo que has escrito tiene sentido, pero lo he cambiado para hacerle más natural.
Muy bien escrito :)

I think Aranjuez is the most beautiful place in Madrid. I have never been to Aranjuez, but I hope I can go there this year. What I like the most is the garden. There are some stone statues and some stone fountains and sometimes, the nature is stronger and covers all. That is the reason that I love the gardens that no one looks after.
There is a beautiful special place: the "Estanque de los Chinescos". I only have seen that in photos, but I know it'll be my favourite place. There are three buildings of three different cultures. One is from Greece, other is Chinese and the last one is an Egyptian mausoleum. I think the best season to see the lake is in fall, because each tree has a different coulour: red, brown, green and yellow.
It also exists There is also a palace, The Royal Palace of Aranjuez. King Carlos III ordered to build it it built in 1561. Along Around the time, there were many reconstructions because of fires and abandonments. Nowadays, you can visit inside the palace and see some fancy rooms like Isabel II's room or "el salón del trono".
I have to talk about music, too. Joaquín Rodrigo composed a beautiful melody inspired by Aranjuez and called "The Aranjuez Concert". Paco de Lucía played a guitar version and it's one of my favourite classical songs. Have you ever listen to it?
Well, now, I hope you want to visit Aranjuez as much as I want. =)
(This picture is " El Estanque de los Chinescos", by Pablo Arias López:)This is very good, there are parts that could be said differently in english, but are perfectly ok and understandable as they are so I have only highlighted the main problems.
And yes, I love Rodrigo's Aranjuez Concerto and his Recuerdos de la alhambra as well. :)
