The Internet and books.

The Internet was created in the last decade of the 20th Century and it has changed our lives. It is very useful to talk with other people although they are far away. Also, it's faster to search for information on Internet than in books. Books, on the other hand, are more interesting than the INternet because they have historical information. However, if you want to read something, books are heavier than a mobile phone for example.
I can't choose between these two inventios because I love books but I thin that the Internetis very useful but I also think that since the Internet was invented. people don't speak to others they did before the invention of the Internet. On balance, I'm going to choose the Internet because it is going to be the future.

Gandhi also started the Green Revolution; She decided to increase crop diversification and food exports, creating new jobs as well as food for her country. Despite these advancements, Gandhi ruled with autority. In 1975, the high courts found her guilty of a minor infraction during the year's elections and her opponents called for her resignation.

Anne Frank

Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. Her parents were called Otto Frank and Edith Frank-Hollander, and she had a sister called Margot, three years older. She had a good life during 4 years in Frankfurt until the Nazis came to power. She and her family moved to Holland in 1933, and her father found a business. 

From a young age, Anne showed an aptitude for reading and writing. Anne and her family were very happy but when Holland was occupied by the Nazis in 1940, their lives changed totally.

The family were subjected to the same rules as German Jews; Anne and Margot had to go to  Jewish school, they faced curfews, they were not allowed to own business and they were forced to wear a yellow star. Otto had to transfer his company to a friend. On her 13th birtday, Otto gave Anne a notebook. She would use it as her diary. In July 1942, her sister Margot received a call up notice from the Central Office of Jewish Emigration ordering her to report  for a recolation to a work camp.
This made the family move into hiding earlier then planned.

On 6 July 1942, anne, her sister Margot and her parents went into hiding and while they were into hiding, some friends gave them food and other things that they needed.
 Anne started each diary entry "Dear Kitty" and what followed was an incredible story. 
She expressed her fear and confusion at the situation. 

Anne and Margot were sent to Bergen-Belsen where they died of typhoid fever in 1945. 
Anne's diary was kept safe by their friends and they gave it to Otto, who survived to the Nazi's occupation. Otto edited the diary and it was first published in 1947.

Save the Children
112, Bath Road
Swindon
SW5 7SG

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have some ideas to raise money for poor children. We can organise a fund-rising concert, where people can donate money. I have some friends that sing very well, so they can sing in the concert.
After the concert, we can make sandwiches, pizzas, hamburgers, etc, and sell them.
I can make keychains, rings and bracelets, and sell them too.
I would organise an auction, too but I have not got anything with a los of value so we will have to talk to famous people and tell them about my proposal. I am sure that someone can donate a personal object to help poor children.
Yours faithfully.
Paula Tarín.

Living with a disability.

My name's Paula and I haven't been able to walk since last year. I had an accident and I became disabled. Now, I have to be in a wheelchair.
Life is a bit different for me in some ways. When I go out, it is more difficult to avoid the people for me than for other people and in a place with a lot of people I fell bad. In my house I feel good but I need help to have a bath or go to my bed.
There is one thing which annoys me: people who say that I can't do some activities. I think that if you want it, you can do it!

My life.

I was born in Málaga, in 2000. When I was born I lived in a different house, in Puerta Blanca but one year ago we moved to my current house.
My earliest memory is very nice. I was in my grandfather's house with all of my family. It was New Year's Day and I was playing with my cousins and my sister. We were eating sweets, too.
I also remember my first day at school. I was very nervous and I met a lot of my friends.
Our teacher's name was Trini and she was very kind and nice. I remember thet the class had orange curtains and a lot of toys.
Now, I'm at secodary school in ''I.E.S. Fernando de los Ríos'' and I'm studying a lot.
I haven't changed a lot since I was young. A lot of people say that I have the same face!
When I finish secondary school, I'll study at university. I want to study Tourism because I like economy and languages and I want to talk English like a native person but... It's very difficult!
