Eurocopa de Baloncesto de 2015

Two or three weeks ago, there was the European Basketball Championship in which Spain played and won. It was a difficult goal, because France was the favourite team to win the tournament as they had very good players such as Tony Parker and also because Spain didn’t have Marc Gasol and other good players. But finally we did it!!!

The most difficult match was the semi-final against France. The French team scored all the three-point baskets, some of which were almost impossible, but they scored them! But finally we defeated them. Lithuania was supposed to be the most difficult, because they arrived at the final and they are very good, but in the end we defeated them more or less easily.

The best Spanish player was PAU GASOL!!!, who is, in my opinion, one of the best players in the world. Pau Gasol Sáez was born in Barcelona on 6th July, 1980. He is a Spanish professional basketball player who currently plays for the Chicago Bulls. He is a five-time NBA All-Star, and a four-time All-NBA selection and he has won two NBA championships.

Vuelta España

I am going to talk about the latest cycling stage between Jodas (Jaén) and La Alpujarra (Granada). It was the 7th stage of the “Vuelta España”. It wasn’t a very strong race, but it was too long and the temperature was too high so it was very exhausting for the cyclists. I went to Bubión and I watched the race. It was a very exciting race and we thought that they would pass faster, but actually they didn't.

The winner was Lindenman, Lindenman, who was born on 16th June in 1989  in Emmen (Netherlands) and it is a member of the Team Lotto NL-Jumbo. I hope that there are more races here in Bubión.

Bruce Springsteen

In this comment I am going to write about one of the most important artists in the USA, Bruce Springsteen. He was born on 23rd of September in 1949 and he is an American musician, singer, songwriter and humanitarian person     listened to many. His nickname is “The Boss”. He has made a lot of songs as “Born to run”, “Glory days”, “Secret Garden” and “Born in the USA”. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award as well as being inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.

I like this artist and I have listened many of his songs. One of the songs I really like is "Born in the USA". This man has been working for many years in the music and it seems that he isn’t going to finish yet. I hope he could work more years making songs and giving concerts.

Visit to Granada

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to take thi opportunity to welcome you aboard our coach tour of Grenade and its surroundings. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Guillermo Romero, and I shall be your guide for these two weeks. I am here to make your trip as pleasant as possible and to give you some information about the buildings we will be seeing.

First of all, we will see one of the most important monuments of Spain: the Alhambra castle, which is a Muslim castle. We will also visit the Science Museum, which has got a very interesting exposition about electricity, dinoseurs and the human body. After that, we will go to Sierra Nevada to do some skiing and watch all the different types of landscape that Grenade has. Finally, we will go to Motril, which is a town that was very important because of the sugar cane, so we will visit the Sugar cane Museum. This city has a subtropical climate, so we will go to the beach. The trip is expected to take two weeks, so we will have enough time to visit all.


May I also ask those of you who feel dizzy on the bus to sit on the first seats of the coach. I hope that you all have an enjoyable trip, and please feel free to ask me any questions. I will do my best to answer them. Thank you for your attention.

Our dreams

In our world, everybody has dreams, ones are easier than others. Many people want to be rich or powerful, but others have got dreams such as having a family or a good job. Of a difficult goal to achieve is riding a wave on a motorbike. 

Robbie Madison had this ambition and he has done quite well. He has been working for five years, but last week he made it. It was a very difficult dream. I recommend you to watch this video, when I watched this video I got really impressed. The most interesting part is when he rode a wave. 

I also have many dreams, but they aren’t as unusual as Robbie Maddison's.  I want to have a job, a family and be happy all my life I would also like to be rich, but for me money isn’t as important as happiness. It is a well-known fact that nowadays money is very very important, because you can’t do nearly anything without it.

All in all, I think everybody should follow their ambitions, because if we don’t have any goals we don’t need to do anything. Sometimes our dreams are nearly impossible, but that is what makes push forward as it is what we want for our future life.

Paris, the capital of France

Two years ago, I went to that wonderful and big city, but I only stayed one day, it was a pity. I went in the summer and there were a lot of tourists so it was a bit difficult to walk.

I visited many places as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées, the Obelisk, and many other things that now I can’t remember. I really liked the monuments in Paris, but I think that there are also many places as interesting as them, for example the Mont Saint-Michel, the Dune de Pila, Futuroscope… 

My parents went there last week and they visited Roland Garros, the Louvre, le Moulin Rouge, Monmartre cemetery, Montparnasse cemetery… They have stayed in the capital of France for one week so they have had enough time to visit all. However they said that in the Louvre Museum they were 6 hours and they didn’t have enough time!!! It’s crazy!

All in all, I would like to have gone there, but I was in a French course in Rouen so I couldn’t.  I wish I could go there one day again to visit that amazing city better.

Solar planes

I am going to talk about solar-powered planes and about what consequences will have in the future. This type of planes has been recently discovered. These ecologic planes use solar energy to move through the air and in their wings there are solar planes which obtain  the energy from the sun. 

The advantages of solar-powered planes are: The air isn't polluted because they use green energy, the solar energy doesn't disappear as the kerosene. The disadvantages are: that this type of technology isn't developed enough, because these planes can't be flying for more than half an hour and can't transport a lot of weight, either.

All in all, I think that these planes in the future will be very useful, because one day the fosil fuels will disappear. I hope that governments investigate more in this type of technology, because it will be our future.
