MY VISIT TO LA TOSCANA, ITALY

Three years ago I went on holiday to La Toscana, Italy with my parents and my brother.
One day we went to visit a little village there called San Gimignano. The sun was
shining brightly when we arrived and there were a lot of people. We went for a walk. I
soon saw an interesting object in a shop.
I went to saw it quickly. When I turned to tell my parents if we could enter to the shop,
they werent there. I looked around very nervous. Then I saw their shapes and I ran to
hug them. When I took my fathers hand he looked at me. He wasnt my father! I
looked at my mother. They werent my parents! I felt very embarrassed and I wanted
to run away.
By then, I was looking for my parents and my brother. At the same time they were
doing the same.
In the end I returned to the place that I saw and talked with them for the last time. I
sat in a pizzas shop stairs. Suddenly, a hand took my arm. I shouted. I was very
nervous. When I looked at the mysterious person, I saw my brothers face. I smiled and
I hug him. I learned my lesson Ill never visit shops without advising my parents!

Two kangaroos with unicorns


Three years ago, in Australia, me and Federico lived in the zoo of Sydney.
One day the zebras of the habitat near our, told us about new habitants at the
zoo, they were unicorns! Federico wasnt happy with the news because he
didnt like unicorns. I couldnt believe that they existed.
The next week the bricklayers started building the habitat of the unicorns, it was
very big, there were a lot of trees and plants and a little lake with a waterfall.
Then, when they arrive at the zoo, all the animals gave they the welcome.

The unicorns name was Meri and Po-pol. They were very unfriendly and
serious. I think that Meri and specially Po-pol didnt want to come here, I guess
they were fine wherever they were.
A week after that they came at the zoo, thieves came to steal the money from
the president's office. Federico saw the men and he warn me about that. I was
very scared but we went to the unicorns to ask for help. We and the unicorns
came to the office and of the fright the thieves run to the exit without the money.
From that day on, Meri and Po-pol were nicer and happier and every day they
came to our habitat to play for a while.

Time flies
Last year, my family and I went to Riviera Maya. One day in the morning, we had
planned to go to an aquatic park called Xel-ha. It was raining, but while were driving,
the sun started shining. Soon, we arrived and then we went snorkeling. We spent a lot
of time, there. By then, we had lunch in a very good restaurant.
Then, my parents and grandparents wanted to sun bathe. To the contrary, my sister,
my cousins and I wanted to go swimming with dolphins. My parents said yes, but we
had to be at the restaurant in one hour. So we went to the swimming pool, and we
stayed there.
We were having a good time, so the time went
by quickly. Later, I told my sister to tell me the
time, because I didnt want to be late. But she
told me there was still half an hour left. We
didnt know it, but my sisters watch was
spoiled. When my mother saw we werent
there, she started worrying. So, she went to
the guard, and he called us through the PA.
In the end, when we hard it, we went very fast
to the restaurant. I learnt a lesson: - Ill never trust a watch.

The lost tomb


One month ago we met us for do some excursion. My friends and I were walking to
castell de Burriac when we get lost, and we found an old graveyard.
It wasnt the graveyard of the village, it was another. We were a little bit scary and
then, Berta despaired. By then, we were frightened because we were searching Berta
but we didnt find her. Later we found Berta crying near a tomb. The tomb was for a
girl called Laura. We went home with her but she didnt say anything to us.
In the end, one week later, she was better and she told us her story: she had a twin
called Laura but she died when she was 1 year old. She never found her tomb and her
parent wont tell her. So one day she went to the graveyard of Cabrera and she didnt
find her tomb, but she didnt know there was another graveyard in Cabrera. And the
other day, when she saw that graveyard she quickly went to find her.

terrible thing could happen. After 20 minutes swimming I felt like an electric current
bit me in the neck, I was very scared. I started crying and screaming. I couldnt swim
because of the pain and the nervousness, fortunately was there and she could help
me. She pulled me to the seashore. in the beach were some people, but nobody
helped me, soon we were home, she put me vinegar in the neck to relieve the pain.

werent at the cage. I shouted for help again and again. By then a staff

THE CAVE IN THE FOREST


One day Ivan, Victor, Joan and I were very bored so we decided to go to the forest to
have a picnic. When we arrived at the forest (it was 10 minutes walking) we started to
walk. The sun was shining but soon it started to rain. We were very worried because
we were going to get wet. Then we were looking for a place covered.
Suddenly Victor found a passage that went underground. We entered. It was all very
dark so we take our flashlights. It was a cave with a long passage. So we follow the
passage and at the final there was a note that showed the map of a treasure. We
didnt know have to do but we wait that It stops the rain

When it stopped the rain we go out and follow the instructions of the map. When we
arrive at the treasure point we start to dig and we found a box with a lot of money
inside. By then, we were very happy. We parted the money.
In the end when we arrived home with the money our mothers were very angry. They
were very worried for us. So I explained all to my mother with the money and she was
very glad to hear that.
