Why "crooked" is pronounced like this? ¿Por qué "crookeed" se pronuncia así?
I listened this word in a serie and I don't know why you pronounce on this way. We have some rules to pronounce adjectives and verbs depending on how they end. All adjectives or verbs ending in -ed are pronounced differently according to their termination. And this word does not meet those rules.

FREE TIME
First of all, I must to say that I am a very busy person because I always be working. However, I love doing a lot of activities when I have enough free time. For example, I like playing guitar, playing outdoor sports, going for a walk and going out or dinner.
Fortunately I live in XXXXXXXX where there are many possibilities for spending your leisure. If you are a keen on sport, this city will make you happy. There are five sport centers and ten gyms. You can practice any (or whatever?) sport alone or in (with?) the company of your friends. Besides, is the ideal place for people who are crazy about music. Concerts are celebrated here every week. Although if you want to learn music or play an instrument, it won’t be easy for you, being that music academies are very far. Also, XXXXXXX is a perfect place for sightseeing. There are amazing places with good views, for example, The Castle. Don’t forget visit the famous Caves when you visit the city.
Best of the city is the price. Everything is cheap. So, you don’t need spend too much money on anything. The worst of the city doesn’t have cinema. Anyway, you should visit this city.
XXXX = NAME OF A IMAGINATED CITY

MEANS OF TRANSPORT IN A CITY (ARTICLE)
There are a few means of transport in Imagined City. Between them, we have bike, bus, train, cabs and cars. The train is useless because the train station is very far from the town. The bus is more common because the bus stop is closer than the train station. The main bus stop is closer than the train station.
The main bus stop is in front of restaurant of Liyer. You can travel with a few different companies but there is only one company that can take you long distances.
You can take the train three times a day to go The Capital o Coast City and return. If you take the bus you have more possibilities than the train.
Students and people without a drive license usually use the bus during the week and at weekends shoppers normally go by bus to the commercial center.
Travelling Monday to Friday is easier than at the weekend. Because there are less services on the buses and the trains.
The biggest problem in this town is a enough service. The city doesn’t count with a wide timetable. So, you have to do a lot of stopping for arriving to your destiny.

SHOPPING TIME
I do not really like too much shopping. Well, not at least I like going to buy anything. I like to buy technology, books and music. Because of this, my favorite store is FNAC. But I don’t like to buy clothes or shoes. So, I don’t usually go shopping very often. Although, I am a very saver person, I spend on clothes too much. I think “if I buy enough, I don’t have to go back soon”. And, I always prefer to wait for the sales. So, I can buy more products (stuff). I don’t like to buy at local stores. I prefer to go to the shopping center where I can park easily and all the shops are together (or nearby). I really think I hate shopping because I never have time to watch them calmly. I'm always in a hurry. I did not have time to go get money to the cashier. For that, I like to pay by card.
I enjoy shopping when I am going to buy books. I can spend a lot of time in bookshops. Books are my weekness. I can’t live with them. And the worst thing than I can buy are shoes. All shoes doesn’t get fit.

My family
There are five of us in my family. I meant my relative family. I have two sisters. I’m the second oldest in my family. But we don’t live together now. My youngest sister lives with her boyfriend. And my oldest sister lives with her husband and her children. I have a nephew and a niece. They are very nice. My niece is three years ago and my nephew is six years ago. I enjoy playing with them.
However, I still tell anything about my family. So, I am going to start with their jobs. On the one hand, my parents are retired. On the other hand, my eldest sister is a farmer and my youngest sister is a psychology. My sisters work very hard. I can tell that they ever don’t be bored.
Really, I get on very well with nearly all my family. Although, my youngest sister is my favorite kin in my family.
Besides my close relative family, I have two grandmothers too. But I don’t have any grandfathers because they are dead. Curiously, I knew one of my greatgrandfather. They died when he was 100 years ago. Besides, I have a lot of cousins. Because my mother has eight brothers. And all of them have children.
