TASK 1 

A) Speed dating

Hello, Penny!

I am finally so happy to talk with you, because this city is so boring without you and I miss you so much.

How you doing in England? I'm currently happy because the other day, I was bored, so I went  to a speed-dating bar. 

At the beginning, it was a little bit weird, because I'm not accostumate to this kind of dates, but it actually has been a good experience. I met a lot of people during the afternoon, in fact, one person called my attention. He was so beautiful and hot, but what mostly called my attention about him was his incredibly kindness. He was so nice with me, and luckily, we had time to exchange our telephone numbers, because we would like to meet each other this week. 

I'm sure we will end up together. 

xx, Juana. 

Lanzarote

Hi, this Christmas I went five days to Lanzarote (Canary Islands), and I'm going to talk about it.

I went to the Hesperia hotel Lanzarote, and it's a big hotel in front of the sea. It has a lot of rooms, restaurants, bars, tennis and volleyball courts, golf courts, spa and more...

To be honest, I had been in Lanzarote like four years ago, and I liked it so much, but I had more fun this time, because I went with my whole family, and it was funnier.

I did  lots of things in Lanzarote, like riding a camel, doing surf, visiting the Timanfaya vulcano... 

What I liked the most about this travel has been riding a camel, doing surf and, overcoat, going to the hotel's spa. 

I liked so so much the hotel's buffet, because you could eat a lot of different kinds of food and the food was actually amazing. I also liked the hotel's cocktails and I drunk a lot of cocktails. Honestly, I think I've gained weight because I ate too much food. 

Christmas eve was okay, because we ate a special menu in the hotel, and it was good though it was weird food.

Christmas card

Hello everybody! 
I'm so glad because this Christmas, my good friend Marina sent me a card saying that she loves me and wishing me merry Christmas. 

 

Rome

Hello everybody!
In this post, I'm going to talk about my travel to Rome, which I made two weeks ago with my parents and my sisters.

First of all, I'd like to say that I love Rome because it's a great city, it has a lot of beautiful monuments, museums, history... But it also have a shopping zone, where I bought some stuff.

Rome is a big city, but honestly, I wouldn't like to live in there because I didn't feel comfortable in these surroundings at all. I think it's like there's so many people and so many foreigners, I mean, I'm a foreigner but I don't feel like living in Rome never. 

After this negative stuff, I'd like to say that I liked Rome because of its monuments, like the Coliseum, the amphiteatre, the Sixtine Chapel and the Sixtine Chapel museums. 

I also love Italian food because they cook so good pasta. I think Italian pizza is not as good as Italian pasta, but I like pizza either.

To be honest, I had a great time in Rome those two days, and I learnt some words in Italian.

My ideal home

My ideal home would be a flat in downtown London, because it's actually my favorite city in the whole world. I prefer downtown and not the outskirts because it's near everything, and if I'd have a job, it'll be easier to go on there each morning. 
First of all, it'd be a flat in Camden town. It would have a beautiful and florewed entrance, and nice neighbours. It wouldn't be too little, but not too spacious either. It would have a nice hall, with a cosy fireplace, to rest a little bit in the rainy days. In the hall, it also would have a very big TV, up the chimney. It would have two sofas, one bigger and another little (just for one person). It would have many paintings and posters of my music idles: Lana del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, Katy Perry...
My house also would have a very nice room, with a very big bed and such beautiful views of London city. It'd have a nice and big wardrobe, and another one just for shoes. 
My flat would also have a very modern kitchen, to cook italian and mexican food. 
It would have a bathroom, modernist and big, with strawberry aromathised towels.
It would also have a big terrace, with very big and colored flowers, and two chairs to drink some tea on Sunday mornings.
The most important thing of my ideal flat would be its modernism, it wouldn't be too big either, but it would be very modern.

If my house was burning, first of all, I would take my mobile phone, because it's the thing I mostly use of all, and obviously, the thing I mostly take care.

Secondly, I'd take “The Maze Runner”, my favorite book, written by James Dashner, which I bought one month ago.

I also would take my computer, because I use it almost everyday to watch TV shows, movies, to do my homework etc...

Also I'd take my sweatshirt from my trip to Oregon, USA, because it brings me many memories from when I was there visiting my sister. I missed her so much when she was there.

I also would take my camera because I use it to take pictures in almost all the 
trips I do.

After, I'd take my iPad because I have there a lot of music, pictures and memories from the trips I made, and because I use it truly too much.

And I think that's all I'd take if my house was burning.
