DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE


I live in a little town in a small country. Most of the year it’s really rainy here. Obviously, there aren’t any deserts. In summer it can be quite warm, about 30 C. Unfortunately, most of the time it’s hot. It never snows.

There are forests and huge mountains in the centre of the country. The rain creates hundred of rivers and waterfalls. There were bears here 100 years ago. Now the most interesting animals and birds.

We have got some beautiful beaches which are very popular among tourists despite the rainy weather. Around the coast there are farms, sheep farms. My country is famous for meat.

Luckily, I don’t like big cities because is the village I can ride a horse and walk in the mountain.

I think this is the best place to live!

Film review


FILM REVIEW – CASINO ROYALE

I’m not a great fan of action films so I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Casino Royale. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this action-packed film, which is based on Ian Fleming’s very first James Bond book.

The plot centers on a poker game at the famous Casino Royale. “Le Chiffre”, a master criminal, must be beaten in this game in order to destroy his terrorist his terrorist network. The game gets complicated by Bond becoming attracted to the mysterious government agent, Vesper Lynn.

The acting is first-rate. Daniel Craig’s performance as the young Bond is utterly convincing and he is well supported by the rest of the cat. Visually, the film is superb, despite the absence of the spectacular special effects that are a hallmark of other Bond films. Particularly impressive to watch is the opening sequence which involves a “free running” chase.

I was amazed that I liked this film as much as I did, but I put this down to the power of Daniel Craig’s acting. I can recommend this film to almost anybody

Notice

Stonehenge is a very special monument in England. It’s said to be more than 5000 years old. The “henge” in its name refers to circular structures from ancient times. In this case it refers to the circle of huge stones that stands upright in the centre of the monument.

No one knows exactly why Stonehenge was built. Some people believe it might have been used as a device for predicting the movement of the Moon. Stonehenge includes the largest stone constructions in the British Isles. The monument’s biggest stones are arranged in the shape of a horseshoe and are surrounded by another big circle of right tall ones. Originally all of these surrounding stones had stones on the top, covering them like caps. Some are still capped.

It is a circular ditch. Inside there are several other stones, including the Altar stone, the Slaughter stone, and two Station stones. In the northeast of Stonehenge there is the entrance. Outside there is the Heel Stone and a straight patch called the Avenue.

The Stonehenge that you can see today is more like a ruin. Much of it has probably disappeared with time and with changes brought on by the weather over thousands of years

Acrostic Poem

Sometimes I don’t remember to do my homework.

Every day I go to school on foot.

Reading is the best for me.

Giving things is not usual.

I never feel angry
