Hey, do you like Green Day? (ENTRADA SEMANAL)

Three years ago, in 2013, I met one of my best friends by chance. I was taking my dog for a walk with my dad, we were at the beach at night. As we walked along the promenade I saw two girls wearing band t-shirts and listenning to music. When I got closer I heard one of my favorite songs so I checked out those girls, one of them was wearing a Green Day t-shirt. I approached and when I was about to say something I really freaked out and muttered "Hey, do you like Green Day?". They looked at each other, laughed and invited me to sit with them.

Three years later, this summer, we went to an All Time Low concert in Madrid. In the show, three bands perfomed, and during the breaks they played music so people could still be entertained. There was a moment when a Green Day song came out. I looked around looking for my friend but I couldn't see her so I took my phone and tried to call her. She picked up the phone and I just couldn't hear a thing so I yelled "HEY, DO YOU LIKE GREEN DAY?" and waited just in case I could hear anything as she was on the phone. I hung up because I could just hear people screaming and put away my phone.

The show kept on  going and when it ended I headed for the exit where I found my friend. "I called you in that Green Day song but I wasn't able to hear you!" I told her later. "Yes, I wasn't able to hear you neither so I just yelled "Hey, do you like Green Day?"",  she said laughing.

Greek and Philosophy in Highschool (Comparative/Contrast paragraph)

All my lessons in Highschool were quiet different for many reasons: the teacher, subjects, classmates... For instance, in Philosophy there was the whole class, while in Greek we were just ten people. Normally, in Philosophy we were not allowed to talk, but in Greek the teacher didn't mind. My Philosophy teacher heated to be interrupted so we could not barely ask questions. On the other hand, my Greek teacher was so close and he was always making sure that we had understood everything. Whereas, my Philosophy lessons were just theorical, which was so boring if you didn't understand something. Greek was always practical so you had to be always doing something, you could never get bored, and it was also easier. However, both of them had their difficulties, but finally you alway understood the lesson.
Maybe I enjoyed best Greek beacuse of the good atmosphear in class for being less people, but despite Philosophy was more boring it was also interesting.

Puppy Love (Opinion paragraph)

I think a dog is the most loyal partner someone can ever meet. There are many people who dislike dogs, that is just because they don't know what having a dog means. Of course, the way your pet acts depends on the way you rise it, and it is a fact that many owners fail in his mission and rise a dog that does not know how to behave, which can bring a lot of problems. But as a person who has grown with a dog, I know that the only way rise a dog is being fair. Dogs are really smart animals so if you show them, they will understand words, they will realize when something they've done is wrong, and a lot of things that really surprises someone when sees it. Raising a dog well creates a connection between it and the owner. Anyway I think the best part of sharing your life with one of these creatures remains in the emotional field. The happy they get when you get back home, or the way you don't feel lonely when they are around, the fact that you can actually have fun while you are playing with them...I consider this kind of things the best part of having a dog so I guess that is what makes it worth it when they are not there anymore. It is important to remember that dogs don't live as long as we do, so we must prepared for that. I find this the hardest part, but as I said before, it is totally worth it. Therefore, I encourage whoever is reading this, to do it, to share your lives with one of these little monsters because you will not regret it.

Giant's Causeway

In this picture I can appreciate the stunning look of the Giant's Causeway, located in Northern Ireland. We can see how the waves crush into the brown rocks which are iluminated by the sunset or sunrise. It is a cloudy day, which give us the impression that the weather is cold. The Giant's Causeway was formed 60 million years ago, as a volcanic formation. We can appreciate little columns of natural material. This place is very famous because of its beauty and interest. Anyway I think this kind of places are better to visit them alone, or with not so many people. When there are a lot of people you can not appreciate as well the small details that make this kind of places really worth it and trully beauiful, you may not even notice them. It becomes a touristic thing and we may get more worried for taking pictures than for actually enjoy it. This is a breath-taking scenery that combines volcanic rocks and the sea, completely natural, with a contrast between their colours: blue and brown; sea and land.
