Trip to Italy

Before the trip to Italy I thought that this will be fantastic; and now, after the trip I think it is a fantastic experience for us. We won’t forget this trip. Also, think that this trip unified the class. We are like a family!

In this trip we visited a lot of museums, monuments, cathedrals… But, I think it is interesting to know about the Italian culture. Not only we visited museums, after that we had free time! We went shopping, ate something, walked in large streets… Italy is a beautiful country. I could repeat the trip a hundred times. An interesting thing is that now I know better some people of my class, because before the trip we didn’t speak a lot.

The things they used to say...

Also, my mum said that if I drank a lot of water I would have frogs in my belly.

A diary entry

One of my friends stole a CD from the shop. The police interviewed him and he lied to them. He said that he had been with me in my house. I have also lied to my parents to protect him. Unfortunately, a security video from the shop shows him very clearly.

Alex stole the CD because Alex’s friends and made a bet one day. He said that if he loses the football bet, he stole a CD from de shop of the city.

I know that my friend was wrong because he stole an object from the shop. I think it is a very stupid action to steal anything. I lied to my parents to protect him because he is my friend. I didn’t want anything bad for him. But, now I know that laying is not a good idea to help my friend.
