VOLUNTEERING

THE EIFFEL TOWER

The Eiffel Tower is in Frace, concretely, in Paris. This building is situated near the Champs Elysées evenue and you can see it from any part of Paris.

This is made of metal and it is 316m tall. It looks like a very big aerial. If you are in the top of the tower, you can see all Paris. Inside the tower, in a lower part, there is a restaurant and you can eat there, but that's a little bit expensive. When Mr.Eiffel started the building, some people hated the design, but when the estremly difficult project was finished, some people changed their opinion about that.

For me, the Eiffel Tower is a very beautiful building, but its form is a bit strange.

MY END OF YEAR TRIP

We took a plane to Uganda. When we just arrived, in the airport of Uganda, we had problems to find own bags, but finally we could find them. We took a taxi to the hotel. In the hotel we had difficulties to find the room. At last I found a guy who could speak Spanish. The last day we took the plane to go home.

When we arrived in Spain, the plane couldn't land at Barcelona airport, becaise there was a very violent storm and we needed to go to Madrid and we took a taxi to Balaguer. Finally, we arrived at home very tired.

SKYDIVING

COMPARING THREE FOOTBALLS TEAMS

In this review we're going to compare three football teams: "Barça", "Real Madrid" and "Juventus". They all play very well football and they are very competitive. "Baça" is a very good Spanish football team. It's really exciting watching one of it's matchs because the players are really good. "Real Madrid" is a very good team, the players are profesionals but the matches aren't much exciting. "Barça".

In my opinion "Barça" is the best and they have the mast exciting matches. "Real Madrid" and "Juventus" are less than "Barça", but they are the ones of the best. "Real Madrid" is better than "Juventus".

In conclusion, I give 5 stars to "Barça" because is the best. I give 4 stars to "Real Madrid" and 3 stars to "Juventus".

Last Summer

Last summer I went to Galicia with my family. I went to Galicia to visit the most popular saline in Spain because my father had saw to comparated and took ideas for his saline. We went with a car to take advantega of and visit all that we found along the way.

The Anyana saline is a very very big place with a wood terraces, in the top of thesse terraces there is a large pool divided into severall smaller pools. There are thuosands of these structures. Underth these terraces they leave the salt to dry. I felt that our saline compared to those are a grain of sand.

It was an exorbitant and a very good experience but I would remember for a long time. I loved the trip, becuse I saw how island salines such as ours could be so extraordinarily beautiful.

My firs day at SCHOOL

I started school when I was trhee years old. I remember the firts morning. There were many children in classroom, so it was quite noisy. It was fun and exciting too.

My teacher's name was Marina. She was very beautiful, with big, brown eyes and short, wavy, brown hair. She was very kind and she helped me with my school overall.

In the classroom, there were some tables and chairs. My first friend was Gerard. He was bigger than me, with short, wavy, brown hair. He was very funny. His socks were different colours! We played hide-and-seek in the playground at break. Gerard is still my best friend today!

-4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

-12 lasagna noodles

-16 ounces ricotta cheese

-1 egg

-1/2 teaspoon salt

-3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced

-3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

First, In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Second, ring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Next, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Then, to assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.

Finally, bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cook for 15 minutes before serving.
