This month your space reader Armando Mark tells us about his best trip ever!
Hi! Last summer when I was visiting my cousins in France, I had the chance to travel on this TGV.
TGV stands for ¨train a grande vitesse¨ (that´s French for ¨high-speed train¨). It´s the fastest train in
the world, It can go as fast as 574 km/h, but it usually travels at around 300 km/h. It was amazing. It
was like being in an airlane-confortable and very fast.
How cool is that?

My roller skates
I got these roller skate for my thirteenth birthday and I love them.
My parents gave them to me, but I chose them, they are white with
pink wheels and a white brake on the front. I like the colors but it´s
hard to keep the skate clean. I go roller-skating every day and I´m
learning to dance on my roller skates.
