    My dream house

    I would like to have an enormous house near the sea and near mountains. I would love to have a futsal field, a court paddle tennis court, a wonderful garden where my children could play a lot, and I would like to grow something fruit such as grapes, a tree as and a strawberry tree. It's important that it has a big car park where people can car park their cars.

    If I were a rich man, I would have a house with three floors: four bathrooms, four bedrooms, a big study room where I, my wife and my children and I can study if we want to it, an enourmes enormous kitchen, where I can practice my recipies recepes, a big dining room where we can have family dinners  in family, a living room with a warm fireplace, comfortable sofas and armchairs, and a pool table where I could can play with my friends.

    I love looking at the stars, so of course I would like to have an attic where I can see look up at the stars with a telescope.

    I forgot to say that  I would like to have an outdoor pool and a jacuzzi in the garden.

    And kind of it's And this is my dream house.

    Votation Voting Day

    In Colombia is taking place an important date Today is a very immportant day in Colombia. Today is the votation voting day, so, every Colombian attends travels to the polls to vote for his/her favorite candidate. Most of the people attend to vote in the morning because we think is better to do it early.
    A classmate, Angela is her name, made me a bet, if her candidate wins, I´ll have to give her a videogame I have, but, if my candidate wins, she´ll have to give me her favourite videogame. I think I´ll win, so this afternoon I´ll have a new game to play in my Playstation 3 system hahaha.

    Well, right now I´m a little dizzy because traveling by car makes me feel terrible. I have no idea why, but when I go anywhere by car I get dizzy and I hate that, therefore, when I travel I like going on my motorcycle. it´s an old motorcycle but I love it because it doesn´t I don't get sick, plus, I can take my guitar with me. and It´s an excellent plan, so, if I get bored, I play my guitar, make some of noise and fun. gets again Hahaha, I know it´s a madness but it´s the way as I live my life.

    I couldn´t attend to the polls on my motorcycle because it didn´t work would not start., then, I had to go by car, it was a bad idea but, anyways, I was am back home and it´s I am okay the matter. Oh, and I´m sure I´ll win that videogame, I´m a lucky man when I bet.

    Thank you for correcting my note.

     

    Nice job Juan! I hope you win your videogame and that your political candidate wins! Let me know if you have any questions.

    My vacation in Canada

    I would like to tell you about my vacation in Vancouver, Canada. I just loved the city. The buildings on downtown are very modern, but pretty close to them there is a park, that i think it is called Stanley Park. So I got a bicycle and took a ride around the coast, which ones there is where I saw a big lake and a cold beach.
    But what i liked at the most was the Burnaby neighborhood. It is an amazing place to live in!
    I have traveled to many cities around the world, but I'd love to live in Vancouver!
    See ya!

    A DAY TRIP TO ALNWICH CASTLE

    Every Saturday throughout the academic year, the Graduate College of my university hosts and coordinates a fantastic day trip for students to relax and visit the local area. The Saturday before last, the college organized a fantastic day out in Alnwich Castle, which is located in the heart of Northumberland.

    I’ve wanted to visit Alnwich Castle for ages because it was one of the famous film locations for the Harry Potter film series. Last year, I visited the Shambles (Diagon Alley) in York, Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross Station and Australian High Commission (Gringotts Bank) in London. So Alnwich Castle is the fourth station of my Harry Potter trip.

    We arrived there about 10:30. Fortunately, the weather was good when we visited. The sun shone in a clear blue sky. Through the castle gate, we walked into the Outer Bailey. This is the place where Harry had his first flying lesson and played Quidditch in the first two ‘Harry Potter’ movies. This familiar scene touched me. Also, I took part in the famous ‘Broomstick training’ session. Two handsome wizarding professors taught us how to fly! What an amazing day!

    Alnwich Castle is worth visiting, especially for big fans of Harry Potter. I am looking forward to the next station of my Harry Potter trip!

    When to place "a" before a noun in espańol. Today I saw this sentence: "Oigo a un gato y a un caballo." Do you always need the "a"? How do you know when you need to put "a" before the word. For example, the phrase "Como pan y pollo" would not need "a", correct? But why?
