Task 1: An unforgetable day

An Unforgettable Day

After fifteen hours of flying with destination to Scotland, we arrived to the airport of Edinburgh. The 2015's Generation of The Mackay School was finally there. I was so tired; I could sleep only four hours during the night on board the airplane. But in general, the emotion of arriving to England of all my classmates was great, and we forgot the tiredness of the trip. After arriving, we take a bus to go to the hotel. Along the journey, all of us were amazed because of the beauty of the city. Its building and green areas were the prettiest attractions to me.

When we were in the hotel, we chose rooms, unpacked our luggage, and rest until the night. At 9.00 PM, all the generation go out to know the nightlife of Edinburgh. The tutors in charge of us gave us until 01.00 AM to tour around the city. The first night had started.

My mates and I began straight to the night’s aim: have fun in a nightclub! We walk through the streets looking for a bar or a nightclub and immediately we found a lot of them everywhere. In a couple of block we got like five locals to choose. Finally, we entered to the flashiest we saw, the Frankenstein’s Bar. I was so nervous at the moment to show my Id to the guard, because I had a fake Id and I didn’t want that the guard bust me. Fortunately he didn’t realize I wasn’t the same guy of the Id’s photo. Anyways, he caught another mate also with fake Id, so we continued walking to another bar. Now we entered to another bar, this time without problems. Once inside, we started drinking, just soft drinks as might be expected, and talks about the journey, until three hot girls with blond straight hair, wearing miniskirts such as a model. They asked us if we would want to go out to have fun with them in another site. From that point on started the true unforgettable part of the day. 

Letter about "The Phantom Of The Opera"

April 29^th, 2014

Mr.

Charles Darwin

234 John Smith Street

New York

Dear Charles,

Recently, I visited the Paris Opera House; I went to watch Romeo and Juliet. It was incredible; this classic show of Shakespeare continues being one of most watched show in the world.

When the show had ended, I went to the foyer party. I talked with the ballerinas, I congratulated them, and during the conversation, we touched the topic of the Opera’s building. They said to me that in last month, there had happened some mysterious events, and rumors of a phantom had spread in the dressing rooms. Particularly, I talked with Sorelli, one of the principals ballerinas of the cast. She is very superstitious and she is extremely scared of the phantoms and she said to me that these events had occurred mostly in the cellars or in the dressing-rooms, when the persons are alone. The only person who had seen the phantom was Joseph Buquet, the chief stagehand, who spent a big part of his time in the cellars. He said that the phantom is extraordinarily thin and his dress-coat hangs on a skeleton frame. His eyes are so deep that you can hardly see the fixed pupils. You just see two big black holes, as in a dead man's skull. His nose is so little worth talking about that you can't see it side-face; and the absence of that nose is a horrible thing to look at.

Charles, this theme has me really intrigued; I want to come back as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Joaquín Garay.

Describing a Photo

The photo that will be described now is related to the controversy of the movie "The last temptention of Christ".
In this photo, we can see a man shouting with a crowd behind him, protesting outside of a cinema that has a big sing at the entrance, with the name of the film. A person of the crowd has a post raised that said "Biblical Jesus. He is equal" with the words "Biblical" and "Equal" written in red letters. We cannot see whole post, but personally, I think it says "Biblical Jesus. He is equal with God" in accordance with the Bible in John 5:18, when Jesus said he is equal to God. Maybe, the people that were protesting, want to express that Jesus Christ will never be like common people, or commit a sin, like the Jesus shown in the film. That is why they are protesting, and they want to forbid the movie because they think that it is insensitive with Catholicism, and attacks the figure of Jesus Christ.
In my opinion the film should not be prohibited because it is just a fiction and doesn't represent the real Jesus Christ. People have to be open minded and accept this kind of movies like a fantasy and learn about it.
