- Mi viaje a las Isla de Wight El sábado y domingo fui a la Isla de Wight, donde vive mi tía. Mis primos ingleses, Alex and Eliza, y su hija Sephi, también fueron. Mi tia solo tiene una casa pequeña, por lo que alquiló una gran caravana para todos nosotros. La caravana estaba al lado del mar, así que teníamos una buena vista y salimos a caminar por la orilla del mar. Mi tía no puede caminar bien, pero ella vino con una silla de ruedas motorizada. Mi tía siempre nos mima - tomamos muchos tipos de comida y bebida para el almuerzo y la cena. Mi novia no fue conmigo esta vez, pero fuimos junto a la Isla de Wight en Septiembre. Viajé en tren y barco desde Londre a las Isla de Wight, luego Isla de Wight directamente al aeropuerto de Gatwick en domingo.December 7, 201741
- Qué haces para Navidad en tu país? Aunque vivo en londres ahora, soy australiano. Australia fue colonizada por los ingleses, entonces tenemos las tradiciones inglesas para Navidad, pero en el clima incorrecto Nuestro tarjetas de Navidad tienen dibujos de nieve y renos y Santa con un pesado abrigo rojo, pero afuera hace treinta grados. Lo primero que hacemos en la mañana de Navidad es abrir los regalos. Luego vamos a playa para a nadar. Luego volvamos a casa comemos una grande comida. En mi familia, comemos jamón cocido y pavo para Navidad, como en Inglaterra, pero también comemos frescas gambas. Entonces, normalmente jugamos juegos y cabeceamos. Por la tarde, normalmente voy a la casa de mi amigo, y hacemos una fiesta pequeña, comemos sobras, bebemos y nos quejamos de nuestras familias.December 6, 201763
Nikko (Use of impersonal passive)
I was in Japan three years ago. One of the places that I liked the most was Nikko. It is said that Nikko is Japan and Japan is Nikko because Nikko represents the best of the Japanese culture.
Nikko is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Japan. This The ['This' is correct, but 'the' sounds more natural] town is 2 hours by train from Tokyo. It is surrounded by beautiful forests, mountains and waterfalls. It is known that Nikko has about 50 waterfalls. One of the most famous of them is the Kegon Waterfall, which has a height of approximately 100 metres [correct, but 'which is approximately 100 metres high is more natural]. But Nikko, above all, Nikko is famous for its temples and shrines. Three of them are World-Heritage Ssites.
In my opinion, Nikko Toshogu Shrine is one of the main reasons to visit Nikko and, honestly, it is well worth the trip because it is simply spectacular. This The Shrine is full of beautiful wooden sculptures. It is believed that all the country's carpenters that specialized in temples and shrines got together to build them for building them. It is thought that all the animals in these sculptures are symbols of peace. Among these wooden sculptures, you can find the famous "Tree Wise Monkeys". It is said that they represent "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil". It is believed that they represent the main idea of the buddhism: “good thoughts, good words, good deeds”.0 votedDecember 6, 20171Essay: Every country in the world has problems with pollution and damage to the environment

Iré con un amigo de Australia, Cameron, que ahora está de visita en Inglaterra, y otro amigo, Ben, que ahora vive en Londres. Ben es artista del tatuaje. Cameron es diseñador gráfico. Los conozco de la escuela secundaria. Cuando éramos más jóvenes, a menudo íbamos en viajes como este a una casa en la playa (sin embargo, un poco más cálido). Nos quedaremos en la casa de un amigo de la familia y saldremos a caminar por el campo, tal vez también a algunos pubs rurales. Mi novia se quedará aquí, donde hace más calor. No sé si habrá nieve, hará mucho frío. Traeré algunas uvas para mostrarles la tradición española de los años nuevos! Lo hice con cuñada y cuñado, el año pasado, pero hice trampa y eliminé las semillas. No estaban impresionados. ¿Puedes hacerlo con las semillas?December 5, 201751
22nd Century Fashion (part one)
Since the first woman from the Neanderthal time put a bone in her hair and a collar of wolf teeth around her neck the humankind has always been interested in fashion. From the clothes made in from animal’s furs to the best dresses by Dior or Chanel, we have had a wide range of different materials and styles.
However, only a part of the society had the opportunity to change their clothes every season or year because during centuries for hundreds-if not thousands of years- only wealthy people could afford it. Meanwhile, most of the population only got something new in at the very exceptional moments of their lives. Therefore, they did not have big problems to achieve the raw material.
Nevertheless, nowadays we there are already 7 billion of inhabitants of earth and even if not all of them are able to can buy clothes often, a lot of people need to change their look constantly. In fact, it is easy to do that because the modern fashion industry allows you to wear cheap clothes models.0 votedDecember 1, 20172- La propuesta de matrimonio (II) Empezamos a caminar tierra adentro.

Por supuesto también tendremos una celebración en España.December 1, 201780
Christmas in Spain (I)
Today, 1st of December, the Christmas month [month of Christmas] starts. I would like to explain the traditions in Spain at Christmas to people all over the world in order [so that] you can know a little bit more about Spanish culture. In future compositions I will try to explain [to] you some customs deeply [in more depth] but today I am going to write more generally.
Christmas officially starts on 24th of December, Christmas Eve, although we can say that unofficially it begins [on] the 22nd, the lottery day. I will tell you more about this day in further writings. We usually have a special dinner with our family on Christmas Eve and we also eat a great lunch with them on Christmas Day.
We repeat the same ritual on New Year's Eve but this time you can do it again with your family or there are increasingly a lot of people who have dinner with their friends. At twelve o'clock, we eat twelve grapes, at the same time that the peals of the more important clock in Spain[that the bell of the most important clock in Spain rings]. Then we go out to have fun or we start the party at home. The next day, if we aren't too tired because of the night before, we have lunch with family again.
And finally, we finish on [the] 6th of January, The Three Wise Men Day. Although we have adopted other culture traditions and we also received presents from Santa, traditionally, The Three Wise Men are the ones who brings us the Christmas gifts.0 votedDecember 1, 20171REGULAR EXERCISE
My teacher has asked me if people who are studying or working hard should take regular exercise exercise regularly and I’m going to answer itthis question giving reasons with my point of view.
First of all, I consider the most important aspect in our lifes part of our life is having a healthy lifestyle. This includes being active during the day, a quality and varied alimentationdiet, a good sleeping routine and what´s more a routine of regular exercise.
To answer the question, I think taking regular exercise exercising everyday is an excellent way to relax and forget all of your daily problems. Gym, sports, or whatever allows you to [be concentrate] ?, to feel good withabout yourself and to reach the real issue most importantly for me, to forget your worries obligations. As a result, thanks to the exercise you could reach achieve some health benefits, for instance you could think more clearly and sleep better than now.
In contrast, I think there are two main drawbacks to exercising too muchof taking excessive exercise. If you do more exercise than you should do, you could have muscular pain or anything else and if you take a lot of time, you won’t be productive in your daily obligations.0 votedNovember 30, 20170- La propuesta de matrimonio Propuse a Marta, mi novia, durante un camino en Jurassic Coast, una zona costera en el sur de Inglaterra. Mi plano era proponer en un lugar escénico sin nadie cerca. El camino era muy bonita, el mar azul, acantilados blancos y campos verde, pero había colinas empinadas arriba y abajo. Después de treinta minutos, llegamos a un lugar llamado ’Durdle Door’, un arco de roca natural en el mar. Era muy bonita, pero había mucha gente allí. Lo vi que en el distancia no había nadie. No había gente, pero había muchas mas colinas... Tuvo que convencer a Marta de que era un buena idea caminar mas... Ella estuvo de acuerdo y caminamos más y encontramos un bueno lugar para comida. El mar azul, acantilados blancos y campos verde, no había gente...pero había viento. Mucho mucho viento. Decidí no preguntar allí. Otra vez tuvo que convencer a Marta de que era un buena idea caminar más... Otra vez estuvo de acuerdo...ContinuaráNovember 30, 201761
