CARNIVAL

"There are only six days left, only six days, come on Carnival..." These are three of the prhases I' ve always repited today. Carnival is arriving!! It' s only less than a week left!! I' m very looking forwards to it. I' ve been nearly a year waiting for it! Well, you' re probably a little bit confused and thinking: "And why does she really want that Carnival arrives?" but don' t worry, I' m going to explain you the most important things about Carnival in Vinarós. This year, is from the 6th of February to the 16th of the same month, aproximately one week earlier than last year, but for me, is better. The 6th will take place the "estandartes". It' s the presentation of all the Carnival groups, so to speak. The day before, is the "Carnival Queens Gala", where all of the Carnival queens, as its name indicates, show her dresses to all the people. It' very funny and one of my favourite days, and this year, I' m going to dance with Locura' s Academy at the Gala. The dance is very beautiful and the dress we' re going to wear more! But I won' t say anything about how it looks, it' s a surprise! On sunday 8th, are taking place the "paellas". All the Carnival groups meet at the Carnival' s enclosure, better known as "casetas" for cooking paella. On monday I think that is not taking place an important event. On tuesday night takes place the Karaoke competition, where people of the different Carnival groups perform singing a song and the price for the three first winers is money. On wednesday night, people dressed up by the theme of the Carnival each year, so this year I' m going wear a pirate fancy dress. On thrusday is the famous Pijama' s night, where all the people go to the Carnival enclosure with pijama, it' s very funny and you can usually see boys with girls pijamas! On friday morning is the parade of children, were they dressed up as they want, and on Friday night, it' s the turn for teenagers and adults. This year I' m going to dress up with my friends. Three of us will wear a police costume and the others will wear the typical orange overalls for prisoners. It will be fantastic! On saturday and sunday is the parade of the different Carnival groups where they show their costumes dancing throught the street. My Carnival grup is called Locura, like the dance academy, and we always dance coreographies during almost all the parade. It' s very exhausting and your feet get hurt because of the shoes that usually are heels for girls. Finally, on monday, the last day, takes place the "entierro de la sardina", where Carnestoltes, the Carnival doll (so to speak) burns. And well, that' s all. I hope that if one day you come to see the Carnival, you' ll like it a lot!

   
                MY IDEAL BEDROOM

My ideal bedroom is at the top of the house. It has one big balcony full of plants and red flowers with fantastic views of the sea. It' s quite large and the walls are red with artistic pictures painted by famous artists. The furniture in the room very abstract and beautiful. On the left-hand side, there' s a big TV screen on a shelf and on the other side, it' s the big waterbed. In front of it, there' s a white desk with a laptop computer for my homework and also two big speakers for listening to music. It' s a beautiful, round, red armchair in front of the desk to be comfortable while I study. Finally, on one wall, there are two doors: one for my big, walk-in wardrobe, like in Hannah Montana' s film and the other is for my own bathroom, with a big, square, white jacuzzi. What a fantastic room!

         A PICNIC THAT WENT WRONG

The other day, I was reminding old moments with my family and we spoke about a picnic that we did all the family years ago. Everything happened when I was 6 years old. My family and I went to Fredes to have a picnic. When we arrived there, we took all the food out of the basket. We had salad, chips, some fruit like bananas and oranges and 6 sandwiches, one for each one. Suddenly, when we started to eat, a big bee landed on my hand. I wasn' t scared because I thought that it was only an insignificant bee and at that time, bees didn' t scare me. I stood watching her until she went. Almost 5 minutes later, the bee came back but she not alone, she came back to me with lots of bees and all of them landed on my sandwich. I started shouthing and running like crazy, and of course, I threw away my ham sandwich. What a shame! It was delicious... When the bees stopped following me, I came back with my family. My brother was laughing at me and I hit him. I was very angry because I couldn' t finish eating my sandwich and also because I was very hungry...

               
          MY EXPERIENCE WITH PET EXAM

Last weekend, especifically the 24th of January, I went to Barcelona for doing the Preliminary English Test computer based. I arrived there at aproximately 11:45am but the exam was starting at 2:00pm. I went with Martina, Marta and Alba, and all of them were very nervous. First of all, at 12:30am, we had dinner, and when we finished we went to the academy because we had to be there at least 30 minutes before. At 2:00pm the exam started. First, we did the listening and the writing, and we had 1:30 hours. I was very nervous and when I finished, my impression was that I made lots of mistakes. We had 20 minutes for relaxing and we started the listening. We did it with headphones so I could hear it well, but I wasn' t sure enough. After that, we had 50 minutes of rest and finally, we did the speaking. I think I did it well, but nevertheless, I was worried about my pronunciation because my voice shivered a lot. In spite of that, it was a very good experience and I' m waiting for the mark. I will it next Friday 6th of February so, wish me luck!
