Elenium..



   
     I really love reading. Before enter to the University, I was spend many hours at the weeks reading.
My familiy transmit me this passion; especially my grandma, but she is worst, because she spend the most of the day reading.
       I read novels since I was seven. I don't really remember which was the first novel I read, but my favourite topics always was adventures and historical novels. I don't like so much fantasy, (I'm a extreme realistic) but are a couple of series of books that I really like: the first one is Harry Potter, that every ones kows, and the second is Elenium, of David Eddings.
       Elenium is a trilogy of epic fantasy; the first book is named The Diamond Throne, the second The ruby knight, and the last one The Sapphire rose, and the history takes place at the Middle Age. The fantasy is not about dragons or witches; is about fantastastic cultures. In the book are two differents people, are the elenes and the styricts. The elenes ara very simmilar to cristians, and the styricts have a lot of gods and goddes that have and influence (even controle) the life of the elenes; so, almost all elenes don't trust in styricts The main character are Lords Pandiom, they are elenes, but their teachers are styricts; so, they have I really relationship with them.
       I think I like this saga, because shows two faces of the same coin: the fight between cultures, and the cooperation between cultures. Elenes and styricts sometimes are enemies, adn other times are the best friends. The story is all fantasy, but menay thing, like the realtionship between two different cultures, are real.

The memories made paper

                        


  
This was the family of my mom, who knows how many time ago.
   They are my grandparents and five of my uncles and aunts (they are six in total), and the two sisters of my grandfather. Is very especial the feeling that this picture make me feel. Is indescribable. I look this picture and I think that all that kids today have between fifty and sixty years, and three persons that appeare in the pictur; are dead, my grandfather and his sisters aren't here. I look my gradma too, and a I trie to imagine how she could be when she was young and she had different troubles in comparison with the problems that now she have; problems with her eyes and her bones.
    When I look the faces of my uncles and my aunt, I think they are the same; but, in fact, the had changed a lot! They aren't that sweet children any more, and they never will comeback to be like that kids. Now they have families, and the new children are their grandsons and their granddaugther. I look with especial emphasis to my mom, she is in the arms of her father; I can't imagine that this sweet baby is my mom!. Always I had though in this people like adults, buy they was kids in some moments, and they had the same age that now I have too. I ask me, What they think when this photo was taken? My mom remember when this photo was taken?
  I really don't know who took this picture, But I'm really grateful to him (or her), because is the only one picture when the all family appears ,except for my youngest uncle.
  I will never be tired of looking this photograph.

A different work

     Last tuesday we made a different activity, we made a table with information for an hypothetical tour to London for students in the end of the year. The hypothetical trip includes a visit for the British museum, the Nature history museum, etc.
      I really like the change of routine. I also like make the posts, but a new activity makes the class more interesting.  Moreover, the search of the  information of the trip was funny and I imagine a real trip to London. I look many places that I would visited if I came to the capital of England; so, I was really interesting in the information of them. Also, the search helps us to improve our abilities to get information to tourist on the web
   I think this activity do more active the class, especially because the information that we used, was real, although the trip wasn't real. I hope more different activities to the futures classes, but not so difficult of course!!
