Dora's Turn
This story is the one I liked most, because it has mistery and in my opinion, it's interesting. 
Dora and Acayo are very good friends, they don't have secrets between them, they both are soldiers but they're only 12 years old... They are too young to kill people but they had to do it or they'll be killed. 
They told each other all the secrets they had but one night something made Acayo worry about his friend.
That night Dora tried to escape from the soldiers who forced her to kill people because they said war was good, it's was a bad decision, because some soldiers caught her and then Acayo had to kill her friend. He was very afraid, but just in the moment he was going to kill her, suddenly appeared government soldiers. They were both saved and sound, and they could escape alive.


International Restaurant Proyect

We've made and English proyect in groups about nutrition and food all around the world, firstly we had to chose different countries and reseach about their gastronomy, then we made a power point with all this information and finally we shot a video making a recipe from one coutry.

In the first part of the proyect we talked about healthy habits and diets, this was just an introduction of the topic. Then we had choose one country out of a continent, research about their gastronomy, and exchange information about all the countries. My country was Argentina, which I think it's an interesting country and different from European countries. For me this part was interesting because I learnt a lot of things about some exotic countries like Indonesia or Congo.

Secondly we did a powerpoint where we showed all the information about the two countries we chose. I think the exposition was interesting and so people could learn something about UK and Congo which are the countries we chose.

After that, we shot the video, for me this was the best part of the proyect. We decided to divide the group in two to make it easily because we were to many people for one kitchen. My group made a dish from Congo, called “Kuku Paka”, the ingredients were pieces of chicken, with rice, vegetables, potatoes and spices, it was delicious.

Finally we showed the class the video and we opened our international restaurant, we prepared and served the food to two costumers and two of us were waiters, we pretend it was a real restaurant and this was funny too, because people had to act as if they were in a real restaurant eating the food.

Doing this proyect for me was funny, interesting and useful, because I've learnt something about other countries, and how to talk to a waiter when you are in a restaurant, also the experience of cooking was funny even that we had some problems with cleaning the kitchen. I think this type of proyects we've done during all the year are good experiences and help us to speak fluently in front of a camera.

This is my sound /i:/
The green sheep:
I had to leave my seat to swim in the sea because there was so much heat. When someone said: "Have you seen the sheep?" I couldn't believe my eyes. A green sheep was eating my meal. Finally could only eat some meat.

SELF-PORTRAIT

Hi! I'm Maria and this is my self portrait. Here you'll know how I am and the things I like doing.

About my personality I'm cheerful and a bit extroverted too, but I'm not very patient. I think I'm friendly, and I have a lot of good friends, we have very good times together, most of my friends are in my same class so we talk everyday.

In my free time I like listening to music, I like different types of music, also I like reading and going out with friends or going shopping.

This is a description of me, and this is my real me.

MAKING SCARY MOVIES

We shot a scary movie for a Halloween English project. My shooting experience was really good, we made a lot of mistakes but it was fun, and we had a very good time.

We had some problems like editing or finding a good place to shoot. This wasn't very difficult, for me the most difficult part was performing because we laughed everytime someone made a mistake or just the fact of having a camera in our hands made us laugh. We repeated the first scene many times but finally we got it.

Two important positive parts about making this work is the personal satisfaction because when you see that all the problems have been solved you feel very well. And the second positive part is that we have improved our English. I think now we speak fluently and we have learned expressions and some vocabulary. Also, I'm more self confident speaking English now, and that is very positive.

Definitely I have enjoyed the experience and it's very good to work on this type of projects because we learn a lot.

BELENES:

My topic is about Belenes, Spanish cristian people are used to put in up Belenes in Xmas. Is a part of the decoration and has a very interesting story.

People usually put in up Belenes in their livingrooms, most of the people only also put the mistery, but others, the big Belen, with all the town and figures.

Also big shops put in up Belenes in Xmas to decorate. In some places people make alive Belenes, and they perform the birth, with costumes and a lot of decoration.

In my city there are some places where you can find big beautiful Belenes, with moving objects and music, and you can take photos.

In Spain there is a tradition, we also represent “Los Reyes Magos” or the three wise men in the Belenes, we represent them coming to the stable or in the stable giving presents to baby Jesus.

Belenes aren't only a Spanish tradition, however in other countries people decorate houses with Belenes, but here in Spain is a very important part of the decoration. And its very common to put in up them in houses, shops, or wherever.
