Man on the edge- Hitchcock

This is the story about a man, Danny, who has many problems. He has just been fired from his job and, also, his wife Sally has had a romance with a married man. Finally, his wife leaves home and she leaves him. For this reason, Danny decides to jump through the window of an hotel. When he arrives at the hotel, he climbs onto the ledge of the window. The police arrive to the hotel and a policeman talks with him to convince him that he will not plunge down.
Now I'm going to write my own ending. Danny had planned everything. The policeman was the lover of this wife and Danny knew it. Therefore, Danny waits until the police come out to the ledge and then... He pushes him! The police falls down and he dies.

Problem-Solution Paragraph

Problem by Patricia:

Ebola in West Africa.
Ebola is a very dangerous virus propagated in the world. The World Health Organization describe Ebola as the largest, most complex and most severe outbreak in the history. It was born in West Africa and it spread to other countries in 2013. People had to face to the epidemic; thousand of people have died and many are at risk.

Solution by Ana:

I think Ebola is a very delicate problem. One solution to the problem of Ebola is give more vacuns to the people and be careful with people who is ill.

If I won the lottery...

If I won the lottery, I could do many things with the money. Part of the money I would give it to my parents so that they don't have to work to care for me. The rest of the money I would use to buy a new mobile phone or a luxurious car. I would buy a big house in the beach, opposite the sea. Thus, I could see and hear the sea every morning when I get up. Specially, I would travel a lot around the world. My dream is to go to Ireland on 17 March, the festivity of Saint Patrick. I would love to see the festivity in person, everybody dressed in green and the parades through the streets. It has to be amazing! Also, I would like to go to Japan. I think it's a place totally different to Spain, they have another culture, other customs, other food, other people... I would like to know Japan and live the experience. In addition, I would buy a field and I would host in it all abandoned animals. If I won the lottery, I could do many things with the money.

CINEMA: THE MAZE RUNNER

The last film that I've seen in the cinema is "The maze runner: the scorch trials", the second part of "The maze runner". These are two films that I really like and I'm going to have a short summary of both. This films are about a boy, Thomas, who wakes up in a strange place without remember his name or anything about his past. In these place there are more people that lives there and they help Thomas to live together with them. For that he should work and look for food. However, there is something that attracts attention of the boy: an enormous maze located there. People advises him don't enter there because nobody has found an exit and it's possible that he didn't go back. But in one occasion he enter into the maze with a partner and they find an exit. But then, they encounter the real world, a world where the sun has burned the earth and everything is destroyed. Also, a disease has infected everyone. Thomas and his friends are captured by people who say save them, but actually they want to kill them. For this reason they decide to escape in a very dangerous adventure. Finally, one of Thomas's friend joins to the side of evil and she tends a trap to her friends. But Thomas manages to make them withdraw although not forever. The history continues and we have to wait until the third film to be released.

                                           

Contrast paragraph

Seeing these two pictures, I can make a contrast between Johnny Rotten and Rostropovich, two musicians. In the photo, Johnny Rotten is a young man and apparently he plays punk music. He's a singer and he's accompained by another man who plays the electric guitar or the bass. Their clothes are very extravagant and baggy, typical of a punky. In contrast, Rostropovich is an old man who plays classical music. He plays the cello or something similar and he wears a shirt and tie, therefore, he looks like a serious person. In concluding, If we compare these two musicians, we can find great differences between them and the kind of music they plays.

The recycling.

I agree that recycling is a good option to protect the planet. 
I think this is a topic very important nowadays which affects everyone. Recycling is a process used to convert waste into new products and reduce the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere, energy use, air pollution and water and consumption of new raw materials. People have to think about it and about the importance of separate the rubbish. We must throw away the rubbish in the correct rubbish bin because it helps the environment and we could have a cleaner planet.  
Exists a rule called rule of the 3 Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle. The first consists of reducing the consumption of goods or energy to lessen the impact on the environment. The second consists of reuse an object to give it a second life. The latter is one of the most popular and is one of the most important parts to maintain a healthy environment.
So if you want to save the planet ... begins to recycle. Come on!

Halloween cupcakes.

This month is the festivity of Halloween, so I'm going to show you a recipe of cupcakes you can make for this day.
Ingredients:
125 g plain flour, 25 g cocoa powder, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 150 g caster sugar, 50 g butter, softened at room temperature, 1 free-range egg, 8 tbsp milk.
For the cream cheese icing: 50 g cream cheese, 25 g butter, softened at room temperature, 125 g icing sugar, sifted 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.
For the chocolate icing: 25 g icing sugar, 1 tbsp cocoa poder.

Preparation method:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a muffin tray with 9 paper cases. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a bowl. Add the suggar and butter and beat the mixture together until well combined. Whisk in the egg and milk until the mixture is thick and smooth. Divide the mixture between the paper case and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until springy to the touch and skewer inserted into the middle of one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
For the cream cheese icing, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until well combined. Beat in the icing sugar and vanilla. Spoon the icing onto the cupcakes, leaving a small border around the edge. For the chocolate icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to form a smooth, thick icing.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a fine nozzle. (Alternatively, spoon the mixture into the corner of a sandwich bag and snip off the corner, to form a small hole). Carefully pipe 3 concentric circles onto each cupcake. Run a toothpick from the centre to the edge of the cake, through each circle of icing, at 2cm/1 in intervals to create a cobweb effect. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the icing to harden. And you're ready to eat!

A description of a person and peer response.

Peer response for: Patricia
By: María López Martínez

Dear Patricia, I see your description really well explained, it's easy to understand and it shows your apreciation for your brother. Nevertheless, I invite you to describe a little bit more about your thoughts and to do the description longer. I really like the structure you have used because it's really clear. In my point of view only need a concluding sentence. Well done!

Improved description:
I really admire my brother, He's a very kind and very nice person. When I have a problem, he's always ready to help me, doesn't matter the situation. He's a brave person, he isn't afraid of nothing. I consider him a great person, very nice and friendly with the people. I love him too much and I couldn't live without him. In my opinion, he's a person with whom you can talk about anything. In addition, he's often playing jokes to the people and he always spends practical jokes for me, some are funny and some not so. However, I can't be mad with him. Definitely, he's the best brother I ever had and I wouldn't change him for anything.

The feelings.

This picture is Guernica, a work of Pablo Picasso. When I see this picture, feelings like fear, pain and despair comes to my mind. In my opinion, it's a picture where appears the death, the sadness, the violence and the war, and I can see people who have died and people suffering from this loss. Also, there are animals disoriented. The picture makes me feel sad and confused. In conclusion, this painting was done by Picasso in a difficult and hard moment for the author, because it was painted during the Spanish Civil War.
