Riddles 1

Hi guys, here is a riddle for the weekend (first person who knows it, cleverest boy/girl in the class this week)


Although I'm not alive, I grow. Although I don't have lungs, I need air. Although I don't have a mouth, water kills me.
What am I?

Iguazú

The place that I would recommend you to visit is Iguaçu. There are some amazing waterfalls and it’s situated on the frontier of Argentina and Brazil. There are a lot of waterfalls there but the most impressive is ‘’La Garganta del Diablo’’. You can see it like you were going to fall in the Argentinean part but if you want to see it at all you should go to the Brazilian part.
There are very good hotels in both parts and you can get a tour and see the other part. If you go to the Argentinean part you can also see the highest waterfalls there and if you go to the Brazilian part you will see al the waterfalls in front of you. But the waterfalls aren’t the only amazing thing there. Iguaçu is also a jungle where you can find the most exotic animals, like alligators and a huge variety of snakes.
In the Brazilian part you can find many natural reserves of exotic birds. In reference to the temperature the best time to go is in winter, when there are 25º because of the tropical weather in the jungle.
If you are going to go, remember that when here is summer there is winter! I went there when I was 13 and I’ll never forget that experience it was magic.

Third day

I’m going to talk about something that happened to me when I was in San Diego.
It was our third day there and the activity for that day was bowling at SDSU. It finished so early and we were very bored. Our group leader said to us that we could go if we want so we took the trolley to San Diego’s downtown. When we got there we started to walk in circles seeing the amazing buildings and the beautiful viewing of San Diego’s bay. When we started to feel tired we decided to go to Hard Rock Café and have something to drink. There we wanted a t-shirt so we went to the shop. I was wearing some pink sunglasses that I’ve bought in Forever 21 for 4 pounds.When we entered one of the shop assistants said to me- Oh my god! How cool are your glasses! Could you give me them?- and I answered – Well If you give me your glasses…- he was wearing some red sunglasses really cool. Then he said- I’m sorry I can't...they are a present but if you want something of the shop…
So that’s how I got a new free t-shirt from Hard Rock Café San Diego! After that we continued walking down the street and some friends wanted to have an ice-cream so we entered in a restaurant. When they bought their ice-cream and we’ve sat in the restaurant one of the waitresses came to us and gave us a huge ice-cream free! We were amazed! After that I went back to my host’s family house with a new t-shirt and without any want of eating because of the ice-cream.

About me

Hi! What’s up? My name is Reyes and I’m from Seville. Seville is a great place, the people are very nice and the weather is also so good. I live in the centre so I don’t have to walk so much to find good shops, restaurants and shopping centres. I’m studying fourth of secondary, for me it’s quite difficult…well, actually, maths and physics are quite difficult. One of my favourites subjects is English, my mother always have insisted me to go on English courses in summer. When I was little I hated it, because I went to private schools in Marbella and the people were posh and unfriendly. But when I was in fifth of primary, my parents went with me to Ireland, where we rent a house. There they met a group leader from Catalonia and a year later I went to Ireland with her. I loved that summer. The third time I went to Ireland was a completely disaster so the next summer I didn’t go anywhere. This year I’ve been to San Diego (California) and I’ve had a really good time there. With the school we made trips to Universal Studios (Hollywood) and L.A, where we went to Beverly hills,Santa Monica and the Fame Boulevard. Here I put you some nice picks I took.

Maybe this summer I will go to Canada but now is time to think about what I'll do in the future and to study. All I have to do is to pass my exams with good marks and have fun with my friends.
