*My Weekend on The Islands*

At the beginning of the year, Valeria invited Isabella, Ana Carolina, and I to her island. We stayed there from Saturday, al the way o Monday, so we stayed for about 2 days. Everyday we rode kayaks, and it was super fun. On Sunday, some men in a little boat, more like a canoe, got near the island and sold u some fine bracelets and necklaces that they hand-made, they were incredible! Each one of us got one bracelets that meant something, for example, some of them meant frog, mother, dogs, and other things.

That same day, on Sunday, we rode kayak all the way to the other side of the island. It was fun, but we had some complications in the way. For example, we were very tired, so we were resting in the kayak, and the strong currents almost took us all the way to open sea, and we were very frightened. After those incidents we went to a reef nearby and snorkeled. We saw like about a million different types of fish, but one kind that I rarely saw, but I liked the most, was a blue colored fish with like sparkly dots all around it, it was surely a beautiful sight!

After all that adventures on Sunday, on Monday we had a lot more. We went to the island of a girl named Gabriela that is in 6th grade. That day we saw a lot of other people too. We saw Sergio and Juan Manuel that were on Stefano’s island, and they looked like they wee having a great time.

I had a great time on Valeria’s island. We had lots of adventures, we did hundreds of different activities, we saw great sceneries, we encountered lots of people, and we had a great time. I hope we go to her island again and have many more adventures than this time, although I had a blast!

Creating my Blog


At the beginning when I was creating my blog I thought that it was going to be great and fun and is still think that. I expected that creating a blog was going to be more difficult and more complicated and I now see it is, but is as cool as I thought. For me is very easy to maintain my web blog, my teacher make us to do two blogs and three coments per week so that way it is easier to maintaing my blog but if my teacher didn’t put us any blogs to do maybe it would be more difficult for us to maintain our web blog. Right now I think I am in the ride path and I am understanding all the instructions and things of blogger it is not so complicated and most think it is.

When we first started to create or blogs I thaught this was going to be very difficult. Then I understood everything clearly and it wasn't difficult.About putting links in the blogs is a little difficult, putting pictures in my posts is very easy, and settings and the rest of stuff is easy to.It surprise me alot that i did't think that I was going to have my own web page and was going to cretaed in my english class.About blogging I have learned about how to put links in any stuuf and how to make a blogger web. I had a great time creating my blog I hope yours to.

A Story Full of Suspense


Some days ago I read with my classmates a story called Three Skeleton Key, I like it a lot. It was a great story full of suspense and scary things. Though I didn’t like that Itchoua; one of the friends died, but it was an interesting story. I f you are one of those persons that like scary and suspenseful stories I recommend you to read it. I have never read a story like this one. In my life I haven't never had an experience like this and I don't want to have it.

I think that is to fake what they said about the rats that they drive the boat like theiy are so little and it would be to hard for them to take the steering wheel and drive. It was too much coincidence that there were sharks sorrounding the key.Maybe you have read other stories about this author that are very fun and you can recomend the author of this book is called George G. Toudouze he has made many of the stories in my english book he is a good author.

Finally i think it was a good story but with some fake and sad things lthough it was fine so if you one to know more details read Three Skeleton Key.

steve irwin...

Steve Irwin was famous for his program, The Cocodrile Hunter, and for his love for animals. Steve Irwin was born in Australia, were he started working with his dad by protecting cocodriles from illegal hunters and moving them to safe places.

A few days ago Steve Irwin was filming a documentary on ocean creatures and a stingray attack him. Stingrays are very shy and usually stay in the oceanfloor, but when they feel threathened they use barbs to protect themselves. People believe that the stingray felt threatened by Steve and the camera man.

Australia’s
Prime Minister John Howard said Irwin’s death is “ a huge loss to Australia.”
Howard called Irwin “a wonderful character” and a “passionate
environmentalist.”

Irwin spent his life facing danger in the wild. “Crikey!” Irwin would shout while wrestling crocodiles or handling poisonous snakes and spiders. His brave adventures were designed to teach the world to respect wildlife. Irwin also fought against the hunting of wildlife and worked with animals in their own habitats.



I think that Steve Irwin was a great person and should always be remember. He was doing things that anyone of us do, he was protecting animals because in the world just a few people take care of them. My sience teacher, Ms. Alba, told me something that is true. When you buy a puppy, you take care of him and you said "oh the cute pupy" but when he grows up you don´t take him out to walk and don´t take care of them. Animals have feelings! Protect animals, and always remember Steve Irwin, a great animal protector and a passionate environmentalist.

I got infromation from an article written by Dina El Nabli for Time For Kids News.
