DREAM VACATION - THE USA

One of the presentations given in 3rd Year was about The USA. Marta de los Ríos (3rd Year A) shares her dream holiday with us!

'Are you looking for a dream vacation? Do you want to visit the USA? If your answer is yes, then I have the perfect vacation for you. It is a tour around the United States of America. I am going to visit some cities like New York, Miami, Las Vegas or Los Angeles. This is the perfect vacation for people who want an active vacation but also for people who want to relax.


As you know, the USA are situated under Canada and over Mexico. USA is the most beautiful country in my opinion. The tour begins in New York. I think it is a city with a lot of different cultures and therefore, you can meet a lot of interesting people. I am going to stay here for two weeks. I am staying in a luxury hotel called 'The New York Palace'. In New York, I am going to visit the Madison Square Garden to see The Lakers play, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State, Times Square, Central Park, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center and Brooklyn Bridge.
After two intense weeks in New York, I am going to take a plane to go to Miami beach to spend four relaxing days there. In Miami, I'm going to stay at a hotel called 'Four Season'.
Then, I am going to take another plane to go to Las Vegas. Here, I am going to stay in a hotel called 'Luxor'. It has the shape of a pyramid and it is very high. On the second day at Vegas, I am going to take a trip to visit the Grand Canyon in a light plane.
Finally, I am going to take the last plane to go to LA. I am staying in a hotel called 'Magic Castle'. I am going to visit the Fame Walk, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, Holliwood and the two most famous beaches: Santa Monica and Venice Beach.


That is my dream vacation. Does this sound like a dream vacation to you? I think it does! The cost is 8000 euros for a month and it includes the hotels, the flights and the visits. It is a wonderful opportunity to visit the United States. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to go to the USA!'

MY SILVER MEDAL

Helena Martínez-Sellés (1st Year B) spoke about her silver medal:

'Good afternoon, I'm going to speak about my prized possession, my most prized possession. Actually, I don't really need it for anything, but every time I look at it, it reminds me that I have to study, to be good... My most prized possession is my silver medal.


This silver medal is not a normal one, it's made of silver and it's circular. When I made my First Holy Communion, some friends gave it to me (because my mum asked them to). I made my First Holy Communion in 2009. I always wear it, except when I have a shower or when I practice synchronized swimming, because the chain can't get wet. 


This possession is important for me because, as I said, it reminds me that I have to study, be a good person, help at home, etc. I also like this possession because it shows Our Lady when She was young like us. In the future, I will give it to my first daughter.


I have other prized possessions, like my guitar, my pandora bracelet and some bathing costumes that I have for my synchronized swimming competitions.'

MY BALLET SLIPPERS

Our student Irene Rodríguez García (1st Year B) is sharing her presentation with us. Thanks for your brilliant work!

'Hello! My name is Irene and I'm going to speak about my prized possession. When I go home after school, I sometimes feel stressed, nervous... so after doing my homework and studying, I go to a dance academy from 7.30 to 9.30 on Wednesdays and 5.30 to 8.30 on Fridays. There, I dance ballet and give my dancing exams wearing my ballet slippers; they are my prized possession.

They weren't very expensive, they cost 40 euros. They are important for me because I love ballet, and because when I wear them I am taller! The tips are made of wood and the soles are made of leather. The rest of the slipper is made of a sort of fabric. They are pink and they are new. I have had these new ballet slippers since I started school this year. My mother, my friend Paula and her mother came with me to buy the slippers. It was a fantastic day!

My ballet slippers are special for me because when I come back home after my ballet lesson, I am calm. I feel relaxed when I dance. I hope that one day in the future I can dance very well wearing my ballet slippers!'

At the end of the presentation, Irene gave us a demonstration and we could apreciate the great ballerina she is!
