A half of my family

 I want to explain to you about my father's family. Well, my father's parents, my grandparents, obviously, are Joan and Dolors. Dolors is a very strong woman, she is 78 and she looks like 60, I think she is very powerful and full of life. She has reared 5 children so she is very patient and calming. She  worked as a chemistry teacher and now she helps me when I don't undestrand something. My grandfather Joan is 80 years old. He had a weaving workshop, and also he worked in a manufacture of yoghurt laboratory. He is very clever and he loves gardinering.

As I said, my grandparents had 5 children. My aunt, Mireia is the oldest one. She studied in Barcelona, but at the age of 25 she went to USA to study there, I always tell her that she has been very lucky. Now she lives in Barcelona, next to my grandparent's flat. She has two children Alex and Ariana. Alex is 15 and Ariana is 12 like my brother.

In the second place, there is my father. He married Maria Angeles, my mother, and he had three children, my siblings and I. He works as a fireman, altough he studied mechanical engineering. My little sister is Carlota and she is 15, she is a little bit bad tempered, and grumpy, but when she wants is very sweet and kind. My little brother, David, is 12 and he is very sweet and nice. They are in high school in Castelló d'Empúries.

In the third place, there is my aunt Marta. She is 49, I think, and, she works making chocolate. Before that she worked with my grandfather in the laboratory. She hasn't got children, but she has a boyfriend. She doesn´t live in Empuriabrava, but every weekend she comes to Empuriabrava to do a regatta.

In the fourth place, there is my uncle Jordi. He is 46 years old and he is single. He studied interpretation, but he works in an office.

In the last place, there is my aunt Elena. She is 40 and she has a little child. She is in a relationship with Jordi. Their child is Aniol, and he is very funny and cute. 

I love all my family, they are so wonderful and I would love that they live closer to me.

Trump's promises before and after the election

Donald Trump made a number of promises during his campain. In this news we will see what promises he has kept.

About Hillary Clinton 

Before his mandate, Trump was saying that Hillary Clinton had to be in the prison because of her troubles with her private email. When Trump took power, he changed his mind and said that Hillary was a fighter and a great person.

About the Obamacare

Before his mandate, he said that he was going to extend the healthcare, he wanted to repeal the obamacare. In his mandate, he softened his choice, he said that he reconsidered that option after meeting Obama.

About the wall

During his campaign, Trump said that he was going to build a wall between Mexico and USA, and, in addition, Mexicans would pay to build it. After he ascended power, he still wants to build that wall.

About banning muslims

Before his mandate, he said that he was going to ban Muslims entering the USA. After that, there is no mention about inmigration on Trump's website.

Deporting all illegal immigrants 

Before his mandate, Trump said that he was going to deport the 11.3 milion inmigrants out of the country. After he became president, he has softened this promise.

Personal opinion

Honestly, I have no idea why the Americans voted for  Donald Trump. I think that a person like him can't rule a country. He is sexist, homophobic, xenofobic, racist, he has all the bad things that a politician could have. Maybe he can provide another kind of governmental system but I still think that someone like him can't rule a country.

August

As every summer I spent all the august in Albacete, specifically in Chinchilla and in Carcelen. The 3rd of august my sister and I took a train from Barcelona to Albacete, where my cousins were waiting for us. We were so excited, every year we spend there is amazing and perfect, so we feel a lot like going there. There are 7 hours between Barcelona and Albacete so it was a boredom and a little bit stressful too. When we got there we inmediatly took the car and went to Chinchilla, my cousin's village. Chinchilla was in fair so it was going to be a good time. When we arrived at their home we took a nap, we were so tired because of the train trip. At 6 o'clock more or less, we went to a tent where there was music. We were there until the sun went down. We had dinner and we went to the bus stop to wait for some friends, when they were with us, we went to the party. We had a great time.
The days after, we did almost the same, we went the tents in the afternoon and we went out at night. The last night was the best night, we had a really amazing time with all my cousin's friends, and it was a really good end of fairs.
The 8th of august we went to Carcelen, there I saw all my friends, cousins and family. I always feel very well when I am there, people is very different from here.I had a week to rest from everything, during this week I went out with my friends, we went to the pool, etc. The fair started the 19th, every year the fair starts with a serenade to pick up the queen and his ladys (in my village every year, when girls are 18 they become the queen and the ladys of the fair). So that night we pick up the court of honor and after that we went to the party. The 20th there aren't events to celebrate, but we went out at night. The 21th was the presentation of the honor court, at 7 p. m. everybody was in the castle of the village to wait for the ladys and their companions. It is always a beautiful event. After that we went to have dinner at my cousin's house because it was her birthday, later we went to the party. We spent all the 22th preparing our costumes and our float to the 23th parade. This year we dress up as a "sevillanas". The 23th was the parade day, the day when the fair actually starts, the days before the 23th are the prefair days. On the 23th we finished some details of the float, we prepare some foods and drinks and we went at 4 p. m. next to the church to start the parade. We had a great time, it was very fun, as every year. We went home to prepare ourselves for that night. Every year at 23th night there is a torch race in the mountain, all the runners have to climb the mountain, and go down to the middle of the mountain with torches where the race starts. It is a beautiful view and one day I'll do it. Every 24th at 8 a. m. comes to the village a band to wake up all the people, so after the race, we went to the party and we ended with the band, it was so cool. The 24th we did a contest of potatoes with eggs and it was all very tasty, although I was very tired. The 25th we participate on another contest but this day it was of paella, I think we did it pretty well. The 26th there was a medieval fair and we spent the day there. The 27th was the end of the fair, this day I was so sad but at the same time I was happy for the great time I had. Every year to end the fair, there is a traditional "somarro" which is when people light a fire and put potatoes in it to roast it, also people get wet in the fountain.

I always enjoy going to Carcelen, I love being with my friends and my family there.

Juanita Broaddrick accuses Mr Clinton of raping her and Mrs Clinton of silence her.

Personal opinion

Honestly I don't know what to think or who believe because none of them have prove all that things they said. I think that bot Trump and Clinton have to stop attacking each other and focus on their election campaing.

Positive and negative things about Trump
Trump said that he wanted to change the political establishment, in another words, to change the people who rule considering that always have ruled, the Clintons, the Bushes..
On the contrary, he is sexist, homofobic, and xenofobic, I think that someone like that can't rule a country.
Positive and negative things about Hillary 
She has been involved in some troubles with some e-mails.
She has experience in politics

Portbou

As I said in another your say I spent three days in Portbou with some friends last summer.

Everything started on the 22nd of July, I woke up at 8 o'clock to take the bus to Figueres, when I arrived there I went to the supermarket where my friends were. We bought a lot of food because we were a lot of people and we were staying in the same house for three days. After that we went to the train station to take the train to Portbou.We were all very excited, it was going to be a perfect time. When we got there we put the food in the fridge and we prepared the beds, I had never been at Judith and Esther's house so I didn't know how it was. When I saw how small it was, the first word that came to my mind was "stress", it was so tiny for all the people we were.

After preparing the house we went to the beach, we jumped out of the port and we went to a plataform in the middle of the water (by the way, it was so cold).

We had lunch and we had a nap. After that we went for a walk to the village, at 9 o'clock more or less we went back home to have dinner. We had dinner and we went out to the party. We spend all night dancing and having fun.

The next morning we woke up at 12 and we went to the beach to clear our heads. We went back and we had lunch, after that, we took a little nap and we went to the beach to sunbath. When we went home, we prepared ourselves and we went out to the party again.

The next morning we woke up and we had lunch, we went to the beach for last time and we took the train again to go to our respective house. I didn't want to end all these days, it was so perfect.

I spent great time with my friends and I hope next year will be just as good.

My summer

Summer is the best season of the year, the good weather arrives, there is no high school, no obligations, and you can do whatever you want whenever you want. I think this summer has been my summer, the best summer ever, but  this is what I say every year when summer ends. As every year I went to Camping Almata with my family and some friends to celebrate "St. Joan" there. This year, I invited Fatine and Esther to the camping to spend the night with Xana and I. It was so great, we went to the beach to watch the fireworks, and then we stayed there dancing and having fun.

At the beggining of July I went to Mas Nou camping with Esther, Judith, Xana and Fatine and we had a great time together, we went to the pool, we talked about a lot of things...

From 22 to 25 of July, Zaira, Joana, Fatine, Xana, Monica, Pau and I went to Portbou, to Judith and Esther's house to be together at the fair. It was so stressful, but also so great. I'll explain it in another entry.

 As every summer I spent all of August in Albacete, in particular the first weekend in Chinchilla and the other three in Carcelen. I went to Chinchilla to be at the fair there with my cousin's. We had a great time, but in the end I was very tired because the fair lasts one week and we went out every night without stopping. After this intense week I went to Carcelen to meet my friends and family. I rested one week and the fair started again. I always enjoy it a lot when I go to Carcelen, I have good time with friends and family, I go to the pool, I go out, I take part in some contests...

In brief I think that summer has been the best summer ever, I did a lot of things with my friends, I laughed a lot, I rested from school.. I hope next summer is even better.
