4th July- Andrea Santana

In the United States the Fourth of July is celebrated all around the country. It’s a day  commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, concerts, baseball games and political speeches. But why is the 4^th of July a National Day of the United States?

The origin of this day is that during the American Revolution, the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain where legally separated on July 2, 1776, when de Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee. Then the Congress turned its Attention to  the Declaration of Independence, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Finally the Congress approved the Declaration on July 4. Now a Days the Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July , is a federal holiday that commemorates the Delaaration of Indepence on July 4 of 1776 .

Today, many politicians use this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation’s heritage, sometimes using this appearing as a business and political event. However, it is a great day for family reunions, picnics or barbecues, some morning parades and evening fireworks where you’ll have a fantastic time.

A travel blog

  Four years ago my family decided to spend our summer holiday in another country. My parents and I spent some time looking for a holiday resort in Tunisia.

First, we had to decided how to travel to Tunisia. There were two posibilities to travel by ship or by plane. We chose to travel by plane because it was much faster and more comfortable. I was very excited ant too worried because it was the first time for me to take a plane. Two days after our arrival we organised an excursion to see part of the Sahara desert. We rode a camels which was a very amazinge experience for us. Finally, we visited the city and tried some Tunisian food and the special drink tea.

It was really incredible and if I had free time I would visit this country again.

A crazy day

    My funny friend and I had a very good time few weeks ago. We went to Madrid in order to do wing suit. I had never tried it before.

    First, my instructor Manu gave us the gear and while we were putting on it, he explained us what we were going to do. Then, we got on the small plane and in a flash, we began to fly. We took a camera and we put it on the helmet. Therefore, Manu screamed and we had to jump quickly. It was amazing! I didn’t believe it! Indeed we were taking a high risk unless we were having the belts. We looked like flying squirrels and it was so fanny.

    At the end, Manu gave us a video and some photos when we were flying. I’m not tired to see them. The next year, my friend and I want to do it again.

First house party with my girlfriend Bea

Yesterday was the best day ever. I was with my girlfriend Bea, we went to a huge house party for our first time. We had never been there together before. We met at 19:45h in front of the fisher's , then, we walked to the house.

First, i didn't meet anyone thus I decided to begin some conversations. As all the people was bea's friends she was enjoying the party during all night but not me so I started drinking a bit. I played some music on and it sounded nicely on the headphones. They introduced me some new people and we started to talk lively. Suddenly I realised that my ex-girlfriend was also there and it was a big surprise for me! There was much food, drinks, snacks.. and I tasted everything there. I really felt a very alone at this party because Bea's friends are very shy, for that reason they only talked to each other. I have to recognize that I thought that the party was going to be better than it was.

Generally I use to enjoy going to parties but I was really bored in that one. In my opinion, I believe
that I didn't like to anybody there. Nevertheless for me being with my dear girlfriend is always enjoyable.

In conclusion, next time I will go out, I expect to do it with my real friends. Finally I think that was an unforgetable experience for me due to it was my first time out with Bea.

The most amazing experience ever.

Two years ago I experienced the most amazing thing I've ever done. I went on a travel because of a scholarship. I went with a host family previously chosen by the school. The travel was to the most beautiful city I've ever seen, Bordeaux.

I met my host family at the airport. I was a little bit shy but by the end of the three months I felt much more confident. I actually had to go with my "french brother" to school and take exams as they did. I had my own grades and had to pass all my exams. My host family took me to all the important places of the city and  region's places too.. I went to the beach (Even though my travel took place in January), I hung out... I lived life as they actually do.

Excepting the fact that the language was difficult for me at the beginning, It's the most exciting experience of my life. First you feel like you aren't at home but that feeling disappears. I actually felt like I was at home by the second week. I would highly recommend this to all my mates.

I travel to Bordeaux every time I can. For example this summer I'm going with my brother for a month, I am even going to rent a house. I would even study my career there if I had the opportunity.
