Halloween!

Hi everybody! I’m going to talk about Halloween. As everyone know, Halloween is one of the world’s oldest holidays(about 2.000 years more or less) however,nowdays it is celebrated by more people in more countries than ever before, All Hallows' Eve is a celebration to take place in a number of countries on 31 October, the day before of ‘’All Saints' Day’’

This event has not always been called ‘’halloween’’ This name is a contracted form of "All Hallows Eve’’" eventually, it became abbreviated to  "Hallowe'en" and then "Halloween."

Aforetime,Halloween usted to be celebreted in english countries, in Spain some people hadn’t hear talk about it,nonetheless now it become something popular and you can see all types of halloween decorations in some houses,costumes… we also can see so many movies about Halloween, (these movies are an American horror franchise that consists of the character of Michael Myers who was committed to a sanitarium for the murder of his elder sister) So,we can say that this tradition has became something normal in almost all contries.

By the other hand,we also can mention some typical Halloween activities, as an example: trick-or-treating,parties,decorate pumpkins(it became a very popular Halloween decoration a few hundred years ago) ,watching all types of horror films and make costumes: it is the time for little kidsto take to the streets asking for sweets and scaring one another person.

To finish we can talk about the origins of Halloween: Halloween’s origins date back  2,000 years ago, at the time of the Celts: they celebrated their new year on November 1, this day announced the end of the summer and the beggining of the cold Winter. Celts believed that on 31th October ghosts of the dead returned to earth: this night was associated with the horror and the human death and During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, made offerings… so, halloween is much more than just a time of celebretions and supertitions; in fact, this tradition has a rich and interesting history.

Electronic devices

The increase of electronic devices is a fact nowdays. The history of communication has changed and Now we prefer to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our activities, these are our preferences .For this reason we left behind all types of archaic media:we almost forget about letters (which have been replaced by e-mails),calls(which we have changed for Whatssap) and there are some people that not even talk with their Friends face to face. Can we define these effects like something normal or Have we lost our minds?

As far as I’m concerned the most types of electronic devides 
shouldn’t be consider like somenthing dangerous but If we 
lives trapped in electronic devides we can risk becoming 
dependent, and in this point is when the problems begins. 
One person needs to interact with other people, build social 
skills, meet and talk to new friends, and from my viewpoint
 it depends by ourselves: we should be consequential: we 
decide what to do and how to do it.

 We told about The disadvantages of using electronic devices too much and lastly,to conclude I would like to highligh the importance of these new communication methods,namely, the advantages of technologies. Thanks to them we can talk easily with anyone, and we can also know all types of news by internet. The electronic devices can be used to record, transmit, receive, photograph,learn… its efectiveness is amazing, and  it worth keeping them.

Exachange bars

Hi everyone! How are you? I’m going to talk about ‘’exchange bars’’ I know that some of you don’t know what is it, well, I will try to explain this clearly. The Exchange bars are a type of locals where you can speak english with an english person, so you can practice and improve that language,and this person can talk spanish with you, so he/she can learn our language
 For example, If one afternoon you’re borring and you don’t know what can you do, you should trust this new experience! You can go to one of these places,sit there and them,you only have to wait until one english person sit next to you.After,you can start to talk, firt in english and after in spanish (or as you want).

Now I’m going to talk about my own experience:my boyfriend told me about this, and this weekend I’ve wanted to trust it, so in my city there is one exchange bar and I decided to go. When I arrived I found so many people talking on the tables and I though: ‘’This can be interesting!’’ them the waiter put me one tag with the spanish flag and I sat down on the chairs. After a while, one boy sat next to me, he told me his name and asked me If i wanted to start speaking english, I answererd: ‘’off course’’, so we started,.

I have to admit that at the beggining I was afraid because I didn’t know if I could understand him clearly,but I can speak with him and he was so funny! We talked in english half an hour, he told me about his family,his country ( he lives in a small village in America, I don’t remember the name) and them we talked in spanish,I have to say that he couldn’t speak spanish very well, but I undertand him because I know that my language is very difficult: the verbs tenses, the pronunciation) all those things are complicated for a native english person so I tried to help him, I always correted the mistakes,gave him good tips and we had a good time together! Probably this weekend I will go again!


Here, in Murcia there are so many exchange bars and you can go there, It is a good oportunity to learn english while you are enjoying and you can meet new people and who knows? Maybe new Friends.

Beautiful Places in the World



Hi everyone! I'm going to talk about one of my hobbies: travelling. I love to see new places and new contries.In the future, I want to go to England,New York (to improve my english), France…but there is one place that I’ve always wanted to visit: Maya Bay,Thailand. Maya Bay is a amazing beautiful bay, Inside the bay there are several beaches with clear blue water, most are small and some only exist at low tide, underwater you can enjoy with colourful coral and exotic fish. Maya bay is a stunning place with beautiful scenery and terrific views. Nowdays it is considerated almost a symbol of thailand.

Unfortunally, this place has became a tourist attraction and now people around the world want to see Maya bay, especially on summer. So I think that The best time to visit Maya Bay is between October and May when seas are calm and you can access to the bay easily. I would like to go and stay there all alone ,well, probably only with my family and Friends, It would be perfect but the reality is that there are many people in Maya bay every day.


Another amazing place that I’ve seen is Rome, on the study tour. Rome is the capital of Italy and for me, one of the best destination around the world, estremely striking. Rome's history spans more than two and a half thousand years, and now this beutiful place has become very famose and one of the most popular tourist destinations among travelers. The biggest part of the city reminds you the roman empire with all types of wonderful monuments and open spaces. It’s a special destination not to be missed.
