The park
My name is Peter and I want to speak about the park next to my house. I enjoy everyday in the park. There I see the doves eating and drinking water. I too see the birds of colours in the trees. I go to park at 5 p.m., when I end the homeworks of the school. There I meet to my friend John and Luis. With they I play to hiding place and other plays very entertaining. Luis come earlier because He must to go at music school to learn playing the piano.
My father go to park doing sport too. He during one hour by the park after to work. My mother only go weekends because she ends late of working. She seat always in the same bench and while I play with my friends. In the morning I cross the park to go my school, but I don't entertain for not come late to class. On the way to school I see to park's guard and He always give me a caramel of strawberry.

Describe the place where you grew up
I grew up in Seville. For me, is the most beutiful place in the world. seville is famous for the "Giralda" and the "Torre del Oro". People is very outgoing and nice. In spring we celebrate the Semana Santa which is well know and the Feria de Abril where people dance "sevillanas" and drink wine and eat ham. In summer it's very hot but we go to Cádiz, to the beach. In winter it's cool and rain a little.
