The description about my friend.

Hi!

In this article, I am going to write about one friend of my class. I.I. is 15 years old and he lives in Tolosa. As you can imagine, he goes to the same school that I go, to Laskorain Ikastola. He is a good student, but he says that he doesn’t like studying and reading. But my question is who likes studying? Nobody. But his favorite subjetc is physical education, a subject where you don't have to study. He likes playing football, he plays in Tolosa’s football Team. Apart from football, he also likes to do other sports, like running or climbing. His other hobby is to go to the mountain. He prefers going to the mountain to going to the beach. Apart from sports, he plays an instrument, the trumpet.





Concerning his favorite things, his favourite colour is red and he hasn't got any favorite number. His favorite drink is water, and he doesn't like drinking alcoholic drinks, so he has never got drunk. His favorite TV program is "el conquistador"and he hasn't got any favorite food, he eats everything. Regarding his friends, as I see, he has a lot of friends, he communicates very well with everybody, whether girls or boys. He doesn't have a best friend and he doesn't have a girl friend. Finally, he likes travelling and he will travel to the Alpes.

I hope that you like it!

BYEBYE!

Do you know what happened on September 11th?

Hi!
If I talked to you about September 11th, what would you think about?  I suppose, that the first think that you have thought of is the famous September 11th, when the two twin towers were knocked down. That is true, the most important event was probably that, but also in other years, other interesting things happened .

On September 11th 2001, the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York City were attacked in a terrorist attack. They say that the attack was carried out by Al-queda, and around 3000 people died in this horrible attack.When this happened, I was 7 years old, so I don't remember what my reaction was. But I asked my mother, and she told me that when she arrived home, my brother told her what happened, and she felt very amazed.

As I have mentioned earlier, other interesting events happened around the history of september 11th. To start with, I found two important events that happened in the Basque Country. The first happened in 1974 when ETA killed the civil guard Marti Durán Grande in Nafarroa. Martin was chasing one terrorist, and suddenly, the terrorist shot him. The second happened in 2007, 2 years ago, when the National High Court sentenced Juan Mari Olano to prison. They sent him accused of integrating a criminal band and of inciting to street terrorism.

But the Basque Country is not the only place where September 11th is an important date. To start with, not a long time ago, in 2004 a helicopter crashed in the Aegean Sea. About 20 people were killed: Patriarch Peter VII of Alexandria and some journalists and bishops of the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria were in the helicopter, and they died. Another interesting event happened in 1997 when NASA's Mars Global surveyor reached Mars. The following photograps are some photos of the Mars Global surveyor and of Mars:

The third important event happened in 1992, when the hurricane Iniki devastated Hawaii, especially the islands of Kauai and Oahu. They say that it was the most damaging hurricane in the United States. It was a category 4 hurricane and it caused 6 deaths in total.

Continuing with the hurricanes, in 1961 another hurricane took place, it was called Hurricane Carla. It struck the Texas coast as a Category 4 hurricane and it caused 43 deaths. It was the strongest storm ever to Texas. This is one photo of Texas after the Hurricane Carla.

                                                                                                                          


Those are some events that happened on the famous date, September 11th. Of course there are other events, although I have selected the ones I found most interesting.  I hope that you will like it!

BYEBYE!
