A formal letter.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to enquire about the possibility of building a child area in our community.
Malaga is a city in Spain, most exactly the south of Spain. There are a lot of interesting and beautiful places but there are not many places where children can play without parental care.
I would be grateful if you could do something about that. If you have any requests do not hesitate to contact me. 
Yours faithfully.
Alicia Machuca.

A crime.

One day I was walking in the park. When, suddenly, I saw a man who looked a suspect. He was another man. They were carrying a big black bag I felt strange because I didn´t know what was inside the bag so I took a photo of them when they were looking at me.
The next time I saw them, they were on TV in the news.

Hole in the road.

This scene happened yesterday at St Marco. They think the accident began at half past eleven in the morning.
A family was returning home after a day in the country when, suddenly, the road collapsed.
The people who were walking over there called the police and the fire station inmediately to get the car out of the hole.
When the firefighters arrived, people inside the car were safer. Finally they could get the car out. The familly thanked the police and the firefighters and returned home after the big scary moment.


Living with a disability.

MacLaren was born on 13 April 1963. He was a standout athlete in football and lacrosse at Yale University. In 1985, at the age of 22, MacLaren lost his left leg below the knee in a fatal motorcycle accident, and had to be defibrillated. He recovered, and went on to run the marathon in 3  hours, 16 minutes and to finish the Ironman Hawaii in 10 hours, 42 minutes.
Then, in 1993, during  the Orange Country Triathlon, MacLaren was stuck by a van during the  bike portion of the race and collided with a signpost, rendering him quadraplegic.
MacLaren´s accident inspired members of the running community to raise funds to allow him to purchase a van he could drive with his hands. The fundraiser rose above and beyond  the amount of funds necessary, and the Challenged Athletes Foundation was founded in an effort to support other disabled athletes in their efforts. 
Again MacLaren recovered, and used weelchair. Then, he worked as a motivational speaker and author.

The eraser

On April 15 1770 the noted scientist Joseph Priestley recorded the following sentence: "I have seen a substance adapted from paper that cleans the mark of black lead pencil". Then the English Engineer, Edward Naime is also credited with the creation of the first eraser in 1770.
Before the rubber, breadcrumbs had been used to erase pencil marks.
In 1839, Charles Goodyear discovered a way to make the rubber a useable material, and then in 1844, he patented its process.

A web forum post.

In my opinion: The disadvantages and the advantages of mobile phones.

In my country people literally can't live without their mobile phones, and this is a problem because, for example, when people go out, they don't walk looking at the street, they look at their mobile phones so they can be hit by a car or something else.
But it has also positive things like if you have an accident, you can call the police and the ambulance or also you can contact with your family if you are not in your house.
So be careful when you have your phone, but make the most of it!

A new cousin

I've always wanted a new cousin. Five months ago, I was at the beach with my parents, my brother, my uncle and my aunt. Then we went to a restaurant to have dinner, while we were eating, my uncle told us that my aunt (his wife) was pregnant.
I felt very happy. Now we know that it's going to be a girl ad we think she will be called Daniella
