En el área de prácticas del lenguaje, estuvimos trabajando con el libro 'Cuentos de locura y espanto' de Horacio Quiroga. Luego nos pusimos en grupo y tuvimos que hacer un corto con uno de esos cuentos.

Short story

In the subject of L/L Writing, we were working on short stories, we studied how to write one, we learnt new vocabulary to include in it and finally we had to write one and the story should end with this phrase: 'That was the last day she ever saw him'.

Here is my story:

Empty after love

- ‘Please enter’, invited Melanie.
- ‘Sure, thank you’, said Damen.

Melanie’s house was very gorgeous and spacious. The climate was very pleasant and Damen and Melanie were very happy.

- ‘I love you’, whispered Damen.
- ‘Me to’, said Melanie.

Damen gave Melanie a kiss and it produced her a pleasant warm sensation around all her body.

Damen was tall, thin, he had a very dun skin and a soft brown hair with shiny green eyes. Melanie was short, thin with attractive brown eyes and silky black hair. They were the perfect couple.

 After that, they went upstairs to Melanie’s bedroom because they had to do a science work. Melanie’s bedroom was very charming and spacious, she had a big bed with a wardrobe and a desktop, she also had a cosy bathroom, painted with attractive colors.

-‘Luckily we have finished’, Damen said pleasantly.
-‘Yes!!’, shouted Melanie.
-‘Do you want to come with me to a special place?’, asked Damen.
-‘I don’t know, it depends on where we go’, answered nervously.
-‘It’s a surprise!!’ ‘Please come’, insisted Damen.
-‘Ok, I accept’.
-‘Perfect, be ready at 9 pm’.
-‘Well, I’ll be ready at that time’, said Melanie.
-‘Bye, see you tonight’.
-‘Bye, see you!’.

Damen left home and then Melanie was dressed with a blue and flossy dress. When it was 9 pm, Melanie was ready but thirty minutes later,he wasn’t at her home. Melanie called him to his cellphone number but he didn’t answer. 

Melanie was very angry and she went to bed.

 The next day, when she got up, she had one message from Damen saying sorry, that he would explain everything.

She called Damen very furiously.

-‘Why didn’t you appear yesterday?’, shouted Melanie very angrily.
-‘ I’m so sorry Melanie,it wasn’t really my fault’. ‘Can I go to your home and I explain everything to you please?’ , explained and asked Damen.
-‘ Ok but come now because if not this relationship that we have, will end’.

The soft bell rang and Melanie opened Damen the door.

-‘Hi’, greeted Damen.

-‘I need and explanation’, insisted Melanie.
-‘Well it’ll sound strange but when I was coming, a strange man stopped me with his car, if I hadn’t stop, I would have crashed. This man was called Josh, he was tall, blond and with blue eyes, he had an envy look in his eyes. He threatened me and he told me that if I didn’t keep away from you, he would kill me because you left him some months ago because of me and he continued loving you. Also he told me that he is keeping an eye on us’, explained Damen.
-‘Yes, but it was four months ago, he’s completely crazy. I really believe you’, said Melanie comprehensively. 
-‘Well but we have to be quiet because if he’s crazy, he can hurt you and me’.
-‘Yes, but don’t worry, he’s only a stupid boy that doesn’t know what to do with his life and he wants to bother me’.
-‘Yes, but it isn’t normal that a boy in the streets tries to crash me and then he threatened to kill me’, insisted Damen.
-‘Relax, don’t worry, we’ll be ok’, said Melanie.
-‘Well but be careful, see you tomorrow, I love you’, greeted Damen.
-‘Yes of course, thank you.’ ‘See you,me too!!’.

When Damen left the house, Melanie felt an emptiness sensation in her stomach, she predicted that something wrong was going to happen to him.

 That was the last day she ever saw him.

Here I share with you this songs that for me represents perfectly my story, I wish you enjoy them:

News report

   In em/history writing, we were working on news reports, the. We had to choose a recent event and write a news report about it.

Here is my report: 

                                                  TECHNODEPENDENT KIDS

"I can do the homework with the tv and the computer on, but if my mother sees me, she tells me to turn it off",sais Juan Cruz a 9 years old boy from La Plata, Buenos Aires.

Now a days, children are all day long in front of a technological device.
Technology has increased a lot all around the world from the year 2000 till these days.
Kids around 10 and 18 years old, despend on computers and cellphones. They do everything with them, they can't separate of them.

Kids of the era Z, the ones who were born from 1996 up to now, play with cellphones and computers, also they have the complete control of their devices since they are 1 or 2 years old.

Many of them can't stand not having any device at hand and most kids prefer to be with a technological device rather than being with friends, going out with them or doing interactive activities.

"Children live their life through a a screen", says Marcos Perez from the University of Favaloro who studies the effect of technology on children's brains.

Scientists say that technology is useful if we use it in a moderate way, but if not, it is unhealth for our brains because we don't train them.

It is up to us to use it in a responsable way.
