Writing 15: Describing an experiment at the science week

Writing 13: describing a celebration.

On New Year's Eve I always have dinner with my family at my grandparents' house. We have dinner in their livingroom because I have a large family and that room is big enough for us. There are a lot of things to do and we prepare all ourselves: My uncles buy the food, my aunts prepare different dishes and my grandparents put up decorations. Getting everything ready takes days!

The day of the celebration the adults sit around a table and the children sit around another table. We usually cook too much food so it lasts two or three days. After dinner we watch films my mum makes with photos of us. They are so funny! Later in the evening we eat the twelve grapes and we say "Happy new Year!" to each other.

At the end my mum and some of my uncles and aunts go to a pub and dance all night. Last Christmas, I went with them. I had a great time. It was so funny, but I was too tired when I got home!

Writing 09: Describing a local dish.

One of the most famous Spanish dishes is the paella.  Paella consists on rice cooked with vegetables and meat or seafood, and sometimes both of them! It was first cooked by people in Valencia between the XV and XVI century by farmers who needed a dish easy to coo and made with ingredients that they could find in their garden. Since then, the dish has evolved and now you can find it in many bars and restaurants and you can find it in the menu or as a tapa. Many families also visit other family members and cook paella, especially on Sundays.

To cook paella, you need the following ingredients:
- Rice.
- Vegetables (for example: pepper, onion and carrot)
- Pork.
- Seafood.

First, you cook the pork, you have to fry it. Meanwhile, you cut the vegetables into small pieces. After that, you add them and you fry the vegetables and the pork. Next, you add water to the pan. When it boils, you add the rice and, if you like, saffron and some pepper. Afert that, you add the seafood. If you put a lid on it and let it cook gently, it must be ready in about 30 minutes.

This dish is very typical and it's so popular, but the most famous paella is the one they make in Valencia. So, if you want to try an aunthentic paella, try the one they make in Valencia!

David Bowie

David Robert Jones, better known as David Bowie, was a musician and a composer of rock music. He also worked as an actor, producer and graphic designer. He was born in Brixton, England, on 8th January, 1947 and since he was a child he has been really interested in music. 

David Bowir started singing at the age of 15 as a member of a band. He left school and he joined and left different bands.  At the beginning he chose Davy Jones as an artistic name, but he changed it to David Bowie because his first name could be confused with a member of The Monkees. He chose David Bowie in honour of Jim Bowie, who created a knife named Bowie knife.

The first years were difficult. Bowie didn't sell many albums but, in the 1970s, he became really famous and he reached many number 1. He started siniging alone and in the 1990s he joined a band. He continued performing and singing until 2013. Sadly, he died in 2016, only two days after his birthday, because of a cancer.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein is one of the most popular scientists in the world. He was born on 14th March, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. His career began in 1905, when he published the special theory of relativity in a journal. Then he published many books and articles, like the theory of critical opalescence. He got married in 1903 and then he had three children, but he got divorced in 1919. In June 1919, he got married again. He didn't have any children with his second wife. Finally, he died on 18th April 1955 in the United States. 

My mobile phone

I got a mobile phone since 3 years ago. I got it as a Chrismas gift. I think the prize of a smartphone depends on the brand and how old it is. According to this, a mobile phone can be very cheap or very expensive. My mobile phone is big, black and a bit heavy. I don't spend many hours with it because I prefer to do other activities like reading books or painting pictures. I use my smatphone to search information and play games. I think it's useful to search  and to comunicate with other people.

Description of a photo

Hi Albert!
Look at this magazine. There's a photo of my family in it! We're in Austria because we're on holidays. The woman in the red jacket is my mum, and the man who is next to her is my dad. They love skiing  and they taught me to ski when I was younger. My mother is holding my sister, Jamie. It's Jamie's first time skiing, and I taught her. It's strange, she hates cold but she loves skiing! The boy in the blue jacket and orange gloves is my brother, Ryan. He helped me to make the snowman you're looking at. It was so funny. At the beggining we can't decide what to put on the snowman, so we put it my scarf on. You can't see me because I'm taking the photo. I think that it should be better to put my mum's hat  or my dad's sunglasses on, but they don't want to take them off. They said that it's cold. But look at me! I'm freezing!
Call me later
