Ma premiére entrée Celle-ci est ma première entrée en français dans mon journal. J'avais appris quelque chose de français dans le lycée, mais j'ai oublié presque tout. Je vais essayer de traduir en français quelque phrases: ·J'offris un jersey à Danièle. Danièle m'offrit un jersey. Un jersey a été offert. ·Henri travaille dans l'industrie du bâtiment. Il a un patron et il est sous ses ordres. Le patron lui ordonne des tâches. Les tâches qu'il lui ordonne sont très dures. ·Le petit-déjeuner que je prépare à ma niéce est très varié. Celui que je lui prépare il est.

The Subways gig Last week the British band called The Subways gave a fantastic concert in Madrid. I'm always checking the webpage of the main concert halls in case a band I like is coming. I was lucky this time because The Subways had planned to give a gig in Madrid, and I was there the appointed day. Thus, I could attend the event. I was eager to go because I have been listening to this band for a lot of years. Nevertheless, I had never had the opportunity to watch them live and direct. The concert hall was a pretty big two-storey place. Perhaps that is why it didn't fill up completely. What is more, the second floor was closed. Anyway, the show was amazing. Billy got along very well and the audience reacted lively. I even think that the artists left pleased as Punch. Billy's spirits were so raised that he jumped off the stais over the public. It was awesome. Come back soon!

The weather these days I'm tired of this awful weather we are having here in Madrid these weeks. Two weeks ago it was sunny and the temperatures were worthy of spring. Now, the spring is officially here but there are no signs of it. It's wretched outside. I'm sick of being at home in my free time instead of going jogging or playing football. Furthermore, it's freezing outside. I had expected to keep my coats in the wardrobe but I was wrong. Nevertheless, I'm partly happy because I'm allergic to pollen, so the rain saves me having symptoms. In addition, I can't carp at the weather because we had a mild climate this winter. It's true that it was cold, but at least I could leave my umbrella at home almost every day. I hope the weather will improve next week and therefore I could make some plans.

My hometown I'm glad to have been born in Vigo, Galicia. Vigo is located in the Southwest of Galicia. It's known for having a microclimate. While it's raining and freezing in other Galician regions, we enjoy a good climate. Nevertheless, do not forget that Vigo is in Galicia too, so the weather is not marvelous. Vigo is a seaside city. It's also known for having a very important port. A lot of big cruise ships make a stop in the city. For instance, Oasis of the Sea, wich is the biggest cruise ship in the worl, came to the port last year. Furthermore, a lot of companies use this harbour to deliver their products all over the world. The population in Vigo increased a lot in last decades. This is partly due to the indusrial power of the city. For example, the Citroën plant and all the factories that provide services to this one. Thus, some people from Orense, Lugo, and villages near Vigo came to work. In addition, do not forget our main treasure, the Islas Cíes. In February of 2007 the English newspaper 'The Guardian' chose the Rodas beach as the "best beach in the world". In November of 2013 the local government began the process to get the Islas Cíes being declared Heritage of Humanity. I strongly invite you to visit Vigo.

Visiting the apartment My idea in this entry is to simulate a possible conversation between the owner of an apartment and me. The thing is that I would be the person who wants to rent the flat and the owner is gonna show it to me. I'd like to exemplify a natural talk in english. Owner (O), Me (M). M- Good morning. I'm XXXX. I'm the one who called you yesterday to see the flat. O- Yes, of course, come in. M- Thank you. O- Well, so this is the hall. There is a hanger and a broom cupboard right there. M- Nice, they're useful. O- And the two rooms and the bathroom are on both sides of the corridor. M- Oh, there is no window in the bathroom. It's a shame. I think it's important to air it out. O- Yes, my wife always was harping on about that. But I don't really think it's essential. M- Well, never mind... O- On this side are the bedrooms, they are pretty big. M- Yes! They are two big and luminous bedrooms. I like it. But the windows don't shut properly. And it seems it's noisy at night, doesn't it? O- In truth, it wasn't a problem for us after all. M- Ok. O- The living room and the kitchen are right there, at the end of the corridor. The kitchen is fully equiped: washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, fridge, etc. M- Nice. However, I've being noticing that there are no hetears in the flat. I'm afraid it's an important problem. Is there no central heating? O- No, but you can connect electric heaters if you want. M- Yes, but the bill would increase too much. I have to think it over.

What kind of holidays do you like most? When I'm on holidays I like to have some free time to rest but also to learn and discover new things. On the one hand, I enjoy staying in my city. The same people, the same places but without being under pressure. Neither deadlines nor pending tasks. On the other hand, I think that traveling is a great idea to break away. It's the perfect way to know other cultures, cities and their history. Furthermore, talking with foreign people will open your mind to new perspectives. You'll find out new customs and lifestyles. When I'm abroad doing some sightseeing I seldom rest. I make the most out of the trip and I try to go all over the city on foot, taking pictures and so on.

Some movies that touched me (spoiler) There are several films that moved me. I'm going to talk about some of them. Requiem for a dream: The atmosphere reached in this film is frightening. At the begining, the characters haven't got too much trouble, but the situation becomes creepy early on in the movie. Furthermore, the great soundtrack helps to increase this scary sensation. In addition, in my opinion the actors' performance is awesome. Titanic: This film caused me anguish. After crashing into the iceberg the situation becomes chaotic. People running around, children crying loud, etc. The water begins to flood the chambers. The doors are closed. Some members of the crew are locked in. People start dying. What's Eating Gilbert Grape?: Nice film. Depp looks after his little brother DiCaprio, who is a mentally disabled person. They are fatherless boys. In addition, their mother is obese and cannot go out from home. Depp charges with the responsibilities. The story takes place in a countryside village. Everyday seems the same day, but new things could happen...

Trip to Salamanca Last weekend I went to Salamanca with some friends for touring and having fun. We travelled by bus. It took around two hours and a half but there was no problem because the bus was very comfortable. It's easy to go all over Salamanca. The main landmarks are so close to each other that we could visit them in few hours. Most of the buildings are made of a typical stone called Villamayor, which also is a village near Salamanca. In my opinion, it makes the landscape uniform but lovely. Furthermore, it was sunny, so we could make the most of the trip. Regarding the Salamanca nightlife, it lived up to my expectations (Could I say: I think it lives up to its billing?). It's lively and we had no trouble. Drinks aren't expensive and pubs have free entrance. In addition, they close late in the night. Don't hesitate to visit it!

Lentils recipe I'm going to list the steps that I followed to make lentils last time. Moreover, I'll tell you the ingredients I took to prepare this meal. First of all, I recommend to leave the lentils (500 grammes, more or less) to soak the night before cooking. If you don't do this, you must let them boil an extra half an hour. Furthermore, I also left some pig bones and ham to soak in order to flavour the meal. Next day, you'll have to chop a couple of onions and two garlic cloves. Let's them fry lightly. Then we add four minced carrots, a pepper and two tomatoes. After 5-10 minutes you may add the bones, the jam and the strained lentils. You can also put a little bit of paprika. I have done it. In addition, we can add a copule of "chorizos". Now it's the time to fill the pot with cold water and simmer it for 30 minutes. The best way to know if it's ready is tasting it. Enjoy your meal!
