Three wise man

In Spain we celebrate this, because represents when the kings came to Spain. In all Spain has a ride with carriages, the people who are in the carriages, launch sweets, balls, games… For all the children’s that are there. The lasts carriages are the three kings, Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar. The night is magic.

In this day is typical to eat one cake with fruits, called “Roscón de Reyes”, inside the Roscón has a bean and one king. When you eat the Roscón and you eat the bean, you have to pay the cake and if you eat the king, you have to put the crown.

This year I celebrate the day with my other family. The evening I went with my grandmother for see the ride of the kings until the ride finished. At night my parents and I, we went to dinner with my uncle’s and my cousins. We had dinner in the restaurant called “Masia del vino”, when we finished, my cousins and I, we went to see the shops, this, are only in the night of kings.

In the end of the day, at my aunt house we ate the “Roscón de Reyes”. My father ate the bean and my cousin, Eva the king. Finally we made photos for remember and we enjoyed the day.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole

This holidays of Christmas I read one book, his leves is for B1, has 63 pages, the editorial is Burlington Booksand the author is Sue Townsend.

The book speaks about one teenager called Adrian. He is 13 years old. The books starts with a new year and Adrian mention his resolutions. The book talks about the life of Adrian, in his class has a new girl called Pandora, Adrian fall in love with her, his parents divorce, he has to care a old man... And a lot of things...

This book is easy for read because is not a story and because the diary is easy for understand. Also the vocabulary is easy, and in the end of the book has a glossary for search the words that you don't understand. I recommend this book for all the teenagers, perhaps the teenagers identified with this book.

New Year

We woke up very later, because the last night we went to the bed later, because was the New Year Eve. We celebrate this day with the same friends every year. We went to a friend house in the Alameda. We were six persons, three couples and I. We ate a pot with noodles, potatoes, carrots, sauzales…

All the food for me was very good but my father ate fish because he hates the pot. When we finished the pot we celebrate the holy of my father, because he called Manuel. Also we ate the desserts, was a fruit salad and a cake and after this my parents and their friends drank a coffee and confectionery. After this, Carlos and I, we sat at the sofa for sleep because we were very tires.

About 18:00 o’clock, my parents and I, we went to the grandmother’s town, Puerto de Sagunto, because that night I wanted to visit it and for sleep with her, because was the first night of the year. I passed a good and sentimental moment with her.
