The Story

Hi friends!

In this essay Adriana, Miguel and me, we are going to movie project with photographs and firstly we have to do a story. Here you have it.

It was 12:30pm when George was preparing the suitcase to go the train station to go to Dublin like in other cases. His job forced him to travel a lot. Phisically he was very tall and strong. He was kind-hearted and generous. He was a very good lawyer. One day he was working in his office and one handsome boy came asking for help.

He said that he had recently separated from his wife and he wanted to get the house. They started working in the case and meeting very frequently. Barnie realized that he liked his lawyer and not his wife. The lawyer began to suspect about Barnie's sexual orientation. Barnie was a very handsome man so, George began to feel something inside him.

After a lot of work, they won the trial and to celebrate this they went to eat to a restaurant. When they were eating the second plate, they started speaking together and they didn't understand anything of what the other wanted to say. So Barnie left him speaking, George also wanted to say that to Barnie but he said it before. So George started saying that he loved him and Barnie said the same.

Finally, they started a relationship together and since Barnie won the trial they went to live to the house together.

GAZTELUGATXE

The island of Gaztelugatxe is one of the numerous touristic places in The Basque Country. This island is located on the coastal part of Biscay exactly in Bermeo and is connected with the inland with a large tower. On the top of this precious island there is a small church  (which is usually closed) dedicated to San Juan one of the fourteen apostles. The best seasons to visit this beautiful spot are the spring and autumn, in order to enjoy the peace of the setting. In the summer it can get crowded. The views from this place are very beautiful because the sea erodes the rocky coast creating tunnels, arches and caves. To visit this place there are various parking's in a explanade and then you can arrive to the island in 10 minutes but in summer as I said the climbing is like a Via Crucis.

I think that to visit this place is very interesting and comfortable so if you are planing to visit the Basque Country visit Gaztelugatxe will be very good experience!

see you soon guys!!

TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY



HI FRIENDS!! Almost every region in the world has its own Christmas and holiday traditions, and the Basque country is no exception. I'm going to write this article about the Basque Christmas and the "olentzero legend" because they are our own and have been a part of our history for many years.
Christmas in the Basque Country are special mostly because the coal miner called olentzero. The story of Olentzero is one that has seen many changes over the centuries. Nowadays Olentzero has the same characteristics as Santa Claus and Father Christmas; but in my opinion this character is more special and real than the others. Olentzero resembles many older Basque farmers and he is recognisable for any Basque child.

In modern celebrations during the Christmas season in Basqueland, children dress in traditional peasant garb and parade through the streets with an Olentzero singing humorous songs written in the mythical figure’s honour. Also Olentzero gives out candy and little presents to the children. The type of festivities and the appearance of Olentzero can vary a lot from one region to another, depending on the history and geography.  For example in my town olentzero appears from the mountain but in other cities or towns, he appears from the sea, from rivers..
the sentences that the people  often
repeat are "eguberri on" or "urte berri on". This literally translates the famous “Happy new year!” of the English language

HISTORY:

 One day, Olentzero was taking his gifts to the children in town, he saw a house burning. He ran to the house to save all  the people in the house, but he was trapped in the flames and he died. The fairy saved Olentzero from death, but she gave him eternal life so that he could continue making and distributing toys to all orphans in Basque Country.

that's all. I hope that you like my article; I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!!!

What did you prefer individual or team sports? This is the typical question that people ask me many often. So I'm going to make an article between the advantages and the disadvantages of these types of sports. Both types of sport have their advantages and disadvantages and there are a lot of reasons to getting fit practicing this sports.


Individual sports: An individual sport refers to a sport which is practiced by two opposing individuals or one individual. The advantages of individual sports are numerous. The first advantage is that can be more attractive to people who are new to sport thanks to the facility with which you can start to take part in them, secondly that you can just go out and do it whenever you want, without having to wait for others. If you are a runner and want to go running, you can just put your running shoes and go out. The individual sports, although, it haves a lot of disadvantages. On one hand is that you don’t have any team members to help that you have more pressure on you when you are playing. These two are the main disadvantages.
 
Team sports: these types of sports are practiced between opposing teams, where the players interact directly and simultaneously between them. The advantages are that the responsibility for success is equally shared out between all members of the team but on my opinion the best advantage is the community aspect of team sport. This means that you have people to train with and measure yourself against. This means that you can improve a lot like person and like athlete. But like all things on the live the team sports have their disadvantages too.  Disadvantages to being a part of a team are that you have to share everything, you have to share game time, the glory when you win a match...  personally I like much more the team sports that the individual ones because of that I practice the basketball one of the beast team sports on the world.


I hope that you like this work and that you know a little bit more about this!! see you!
