My favorite holiday destination is The Mediterranean or The Caribbean Sea because I live in the mountain and I like the ocean. Besides, I like sea sports. On the other hand, another amazing destination is London because it is a very interesting city and you can see the best football matches there: for example, the Wembley Stadium is fantastic. Sightseeing monuments every day is boring -in my opinion.
The best ways to pass time during your holidays are: going to the beach, beach football, hanging around, playing volley and so on. In a family holiday, the main advantage is that your parents will pay for all, for you it´s free!!! So you don´t need to carry a lot of money with you. Moreover, you will never be alone. However, your parents will control you, too, so you won´t be able to do everything you want, parties won’t be so long! You should learn, before traveling, some words in the local language because people will help you more if you try to speak and use their expressions: people will appreciate it, just some words such as please, thanks, hello, good bye, etc; people like politeness so, it´s very important to be polite. If you go abroad, you should also go to restaurants and try new meals. My ideal kind of holiday is “never-ending”holidays.
In my white-week break, I’m traveling to the coast. I’m traveling to Barcelona with my family because we like the sea. We travel to Barcelona by bus in the morning but we return to Jaca by plane at night. It’s a whirlwind tour. I’m going fishing with my dad in the sea, it’s amazing and I’m going swimming with my mum, too. We will have a fantastic white break holiday and I will be sad because I must return to school too soon and too early.
this is gonna be legendary… Next month I´m going skiing in the white mountains of Astun. The bus leaves Jaca at 8:00. This season I´m renting the newest sport gear but I´m not renting an apartment because I don´t like living there. The bus arrives in Astun at 9:00 so at 9:30 I can already be skiing!!! Then, at 13:00, I´m going to the restaurants because the sandwiches are delicious!!! After the lunch, I will go to the black tracks, they are the most difficult ones, and only for experts. Later, I´m going back to the bus because the bus leaves at 17:00 and arrives in Jaca at 17:30. This summer I’m going to the beach with my parents. We´re going to go to Cambrils, we go there five or six days every summer. I´m making my suitcase now because we leave in five minutes. We arrive in the apartment at eight o´clock, in the apartment, we have a fast dinner. I´m going to swim half of the days and I´ll go diving too. We´re visiting Salou in a boat and we´re going shopping as well. It´ll be fantastic!
Next month, I will stay home with my brother and my sister. I´m going to the park because my brother and my sister play there and they meet friends, too. At night, I´m watching a terror film or thriller with my family. We will go together to the cinema. We already have tickets. At twelve o´clock or half past twelve I usually go to bed because I work at my mum´s and the hairdresser opens at nine o´clock. I´m going to help her there, too.
Joke of the day:
Do you speak English? -¿Cómo dice usted? -Do you speak English? -¡No lo entiendo! -Le pregunto que si habla usted inglés. -¡Ah sí, perfectamente!
OPINION ESSAY What do you think about arranged marriages? What’s the best age for marriage? What wedding traditions are there in your country? Are there any wedding traditions which you like or dislike? What’s the secret of a happy relationship?
In my opinion, arranged marriages are not a good idea because I think that both boys and girls are forced and their opinion is not taken into account which is unfair. On the one hand, you can´t choose your partner and this is very bad for women: they can´t choose their husband and it´s not fair for them. The children´s parents choose a fiancé but they would prefer to meet their own friends and fiancées. However, it is their culture and we have to respect it. I have never been in an arranged marriage and I´m not going to do it. If you like arranged marriages, do it, but if you don´t like them, don´t do it! Personally, I don´t like arranged marriages. I like all kinds of marriage except when I can´t choose my bride! There isn´t a best age or an ideal age for marriage: it is relative. People should get married when they are prepared but it’s difficult because they have pressure from their parents: in Spain, people used to get married very young.
In my opinion, the best age to get married is when you are 30 because, at this age, people may have a job, a daily routine… they can be more ready for married-life. In my country, the tradition of a wedding is very easy: When you meet a person and you fall in love with him/her, first, you go out with him/her and then, you organize the marriage. People usually get married in a church: the bride wears an expensive long white silk dress and the groom wears a black smoking and a white shirt. The bride´s father walks with her to the altar while the groom goes with his mum. I don´t like the priest´s speech because it is very boring and it isn´t useful. In my opinion, he should be quiet: it would be best because they are not experienced, after all, he is not married! Although the wedding traditions are very varied, marriage usually happens in a church and after the ceremony, all the guests, the family and friends of the couple, go to a restaurant and they have lunch or dinner together, and finally, dance with an orchestra. I think that the secret of a happy relationship is to choose a partner who has things in common with you, the understanding and the love because if they love each other, they will be very happy.
