The Flu

The Flu
Four months ago I had a terrible the flu. I felt strong pain in my body and head. I had high fever, sore throat and cough. I was as sick as a dog. I felt very sick and almost passed out. I missed one week of work because I couldn’t get up for six days. My mother told me, “Adriana you have to visit your doctor right now.” When I visited the doctor’s office he said, “Adriana you have all the symptoms for asthma, you are very sick.” He added, “You had better take medication immediately.” In this moment I felt very sad. My mother was a peach; she was with me for two weeks. After a week of rest, I should be raring to go!

The Segua

In my country the senior people speak about one fable named La Segua. “Once upon a time a man wanted to have a new woman, but he was married. His wife was a helpful, patient, and generous woman. However, the man wanted a new girl in his life. So, one night the man went to a party; he met a beautiful and young lady. When the party finished; the man and his new friend walked for the street. After, the man wanted has “a special time” with the girl, but she showed her real face. This was terrible; the man ran too fast because the face’s girl was similar than the devil.” This fable is very famous in my country because is about men or women than have bad behaviors with their couples when those are good people. The moral is very clear: “When you want to change your couple; you can find a lot of problems.”

Notting Hill

Notting Hill
I did like this movie because is very romantic, fresh, and amusing. Their actors are very famous. This movie has nice visuals, good atmosphere, and nice location. I think than the actors have cleared their roles in that movie. They are different, funny, and their performances were very good. I think than the best movies are the comedy-romantic. I love this genre because is relaxed and light. When I go to the cinema I prefer to watch funny movies. Always I can feel very happy. In addition, Notting Hill was a good movie for my. I felt glad and upbeat because the movie has good energy. Also, the movie was a good time for our class.

Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
She was born in Grantham, England. She is a former British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1979 to 1990. She is the first and to date only woman to hold either post. She is also the oldest living British Prime minister. I feel admiration for her, because she was a Primer minister of strong character, sure, and very intelligent. Her political career was successful; her opinions were very important around the world. She was won the nickname “Iron Lady” for her speech against the Soviet Union in 1976. She is a power woman. I like her biography and her legacy. I have models in my life for example; my parents. However, I feel admiration for others people. Juan Pablo II, Nelson Mandela, and Mikhail Gorbachev. They have been leaders around the world.
