Introduction
I'm doing a scrapbook, a work with all I learned this year organized and
based in projects. Then of each project there are subsections with a little
explain about grammar, the vocabulary, etc...
Project 1
My life picture
My father's name is Mariano, he's 57, my mum's name is Mara Jess,
she's 47.
I've got a lot of pets in my house. One dog, two birds, some fishes and of
course my sister. Her name is Nerea and she's 10 years old.
I love go to the beach on summer, swim, read (books and the newspaper,
because I think is important to be informed) and play computer games.
I hate the commercial music, I believe it's only for gain moneys. I hate
the religion and the fashion too.
My favourite music is the one that have a good lyrics, with meaning.

but I didn't know that Arthur was a son of king. I cared of Arthur when he
is a child. I've got another son, Sir Kay. I've got an armour, a sword, a

The exam
It isn't really a funny story, but tries to be funny. Explains the process of
how do an exam.
- The previous day you arrive to your house then a long day of
school. Of course you have not studied before.
- Time of eat. You take cakes, chips and a cola while you see the TV.
There is a interesting film.
- Oh My God! The half past eight. You didn't remember what you had
to study while you saw the movie. No matter, taking a shower all is
more clear.
- You think of studying an hour after dinner, no need more...
- Then of take the shower and have dinner you're very tired. Come
on, only half hour...
- The next day you wake up, have breakfast and you go to school.
- The first that you think when finish the exam is... Well, really you
don't think anything, simply set stupid face.
- Now is when you say the typical sentence "I need to hit
someone..."
- Also you think that to the next exam you will prepare it well, you
will study more... But, be realist, you're a lazy.
Past Continuous
The past continous describes an action in progress in the past. We use the
forms was or were + verb + -ing. For example:
Past Simple
The past simple describes an action finished in the past. We use the verb
+ -ed (only regular verbs) with affirmative form. With the negative we
use didn't + verb. With the interrogative we use Did+ pronoun + verb
Project 4
Cooking a recipe
Lemon cheese cake covered with jam
Ingredients (8 people)
Steps
- Place the cookies on the glass and spray programming to five
seconds, speed 10.
Coverage of jam
- With the clean glass, place of jam, the lemon juice, the teaspoons
of gelatin and the water. Program three minutes, 80, speed 2.
- Let the temper without curdling and pour over the cake. Put the
cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
We use comparative to say that one thing "are most". We add the before
the adjective and -est to the adjective. With the words with more than 3
syllables we change the -est in the adjective for a most before it. With
some adjectives we can use the two forms
For example if I say that Peter is the happiest boy that I knows, I would
say that he's happier than all the other boys that I know.

Writing a postcard
Hi Lourdes,
I'm writing this email from Thailand. The weather is really hot and there
are so much humidity... But is better to think on the positive. We are
visiting a lot of temples. There are some of them really enormous.
But we've just arrived here in Ko Ko Phi islands, there are a lot of
precious beaches. The water is really transparent as in the photos... Is a
dream. So far I've enjoyed the exotic food. I've eaten grasshoppers!
really do not have a strong flavor... Is different.
Tonight we will go to a beach party. These people knows how to have fun.
Tomorrow I think that we stay on the beach. it should be relaxed.
