Ghosts of Spain
Hello!!How are you???
This semester we read in English class a book about the customs from Spain told for an English man. The author talks about things and customs from Spain that sometimes Spanish people don’t realize they do unless they listen or read it. In some occasions, when you were reading the book this was funny and you always have an anecdote or experience that was very close to the author was saying. I specially remember the chapter about Spanish health system; I like it and spend a good time reading it. The book was quite good because it compares Spanish culture and the British one, and it’s surprising to see how different they are. But on the other hand, I think in this book is very present the dictator Franco and, may be, from a reader who isn’t Spanish seems that the country has the ideology and some kind of repression that were present in the dictator’s time.
Even though, there was nothing that specially annoyed me, but the book is full of Spanish topics and sometimes the reader believe that all Spaniards are identically and make the same things. But, I suppose that this is the problem when you read a book about your culture, you never agree with all it is said even though it’s true.

The Shawshank Redemption
Hello!! I’m here again! =)
Yesterday was Friday, and as all the Friday I watch a film with some friends. At first, we didn’t know which film we could watch and after arguing a bit we decided to watch The Shawshank Redemption, a film based on a novel written by Stephen King.

Is a very interesting film, I spend a great time watching it. At first I wasn’t sure it was going to be a good film, but when we started it I was very interested in it since the very first moment!
I recommend it!!
See you soon!
I don’t know what to write!
Hello!!How are you??How was your week??
Well, I was a bit busy and stressed because exams are coming up and we have lots of work and things to study. One of the things we have to finish is the English blog and, honestly I don’t have any idea to what to write on it to finish the 4000 words!
So, I was thinking and I decided to write about that I don’t know what to write about, do you understand me?
Yes, yes, I know, this isn’t an interesting topic and maybe is very typical but look! Writing about this, I already have 100 words more!!=)
Well now without jokes, I will try to think about more topics to write here, and with which I can be more extensive, since then I have a blog spot a bit absurd.
See you soon, very soon!! =)

Fire!
Hello! How are you??Well, as you can see I've been a little bit buzy so I couldn't write a anything; but don't worry,I'm here again!=)
Today I want to explain you that we aren't capables to make a simple pizza in the oven! Well, let's to explain better.
Last Friday we went to a friend's house to see a film and when we finished we decided to buy some pizzas and snaks in the supermarket, have dinner in the house and spend the night there. When we started to put the pizzas in the oven we raelize that the oven was too small and we only could make one pizza each time. Seen that, we decided to "solve" the problem and, I don't know how, we put two pizzas in the oven. It was a bad, very bad idea.
Well, when we considered the pizza was already cooked, we went to the kitchen and when we opened the oven a white smoke fill up all teh house. It was a disaster because one pizza was raw and the other was completely burned. Finally we opened all the doors and the windows and the smoke disapered and we continued cooking the pizzas, this time only one! But in the oven were pieces of the burned pizza and the white smoke came back again.
Finally we could have dinner and we didn't fired the house and even though at firt we were a bit worried, we have to admit that we had a great time!!
See you soon!!!=)

After a casting the young girl get the main character and starts practicing, but the responsability of being the star causes on her psichological disorders.
Being honest, I spect more about the film, I don't mean is a bad film and I don't regret having seen it but I don't like so much.
