THE TIGER

The tiger is a member of the Felidae family. It is the largest of the four "big cats". Tigers are easy to recognise. They typically have rusty-reddish to brown-rusty coats, a whitish medial and ventral area, a white "fringe" that surrounds the face, and stripes that vary from brown or gray to pure black. The form and density of stripes differs between subspecies (as well as the ground coloration of the fur; for instance, Siberian tigers are usually paler than other tiger subspecies), but most tigers have over 100 stripes.
There are nine recent subspecies of tiger, three of which are extinct. Their historical range (severely diminished today) ran through Bangladesh, Siberia, Iran, Afghanistan, India, China, and southeast Asia, including some Indonesian islands.

Things I used to do when I was a child

Sometimes, I think about many things I used to do when I was a child. They are beautiful memories, of course! And I miss those years. Those years that the only thing I used to do was to be very happy and enjoy every second without problems and doing things that I can't do now because of the responsibility, and sometimes due to the fear. When you are a child, you have no complications, no fear and no responsibility. I remeber that, when I fell down, I always had my parents saying to me: You have ti be more carefull! But they healed my injuries. Now it isn't the same. I'm not a child, so I mustn't behave like a child, I have to heal my injuries and I can't press my mum's hand if 'Betadine' itches on my injuries. Also, I remeber that I used to paint on the floor and my mother said to me while she was laughing: You're terrible, little princess!
There's an animal that brings me good memories. The snail. When there was a terrible storm, my father and I used to catch snails. We put them in a box with holes, so that they could breath, and also, gave them some lettuce. When they were satisfied with the meal, I caught two or three and my friends and I used to do 'snail races'. They were very funny, because we splashed the laziest snails. Another memory, is when it was my birthday, organized a party for me with all my friends, and we play water wars with balloons. Then my parenst bought me a big cake with many candles and the princess of Disney ( I ate them, because they were made of chocolate!)
But I can't complain about my life. I have learnt that the good old days are now.

My favourite song.

My favourite song is 'Hey there Delilah'. The group who sings it is 'Plain white t's'. They aren't very famous but sometimes one of their songs is on the top. Plain white t's is an American pop rock band wich started in 1997, originally from Villa Park. They received a Grammy nomination for 'Hey there Delilah' in 2008. The song is about a boy who tells his lover that he loves her and that nothing will break their relationship.

I like this song because a special person showed it to me. I'm very relaxed when I hear it, and it brings me very good memories that I'll never forget. I like the lyrics a lot because they're very beautiful. I wouldn't change anything of it because from my point of view, now It's perfect.

I love the videoclip! There's a pretty gril walking around New York City and while she's walking, a boy who is a thousand miles away is singing a song for her. The videoclip isn't much connected to the lyrics.

To sum up, this song is one of the things that can always make me smile.

What will be my life in 20 years

In twenty years I will be a mature woman. I'll be taller than now because I will wear high heels. I will have a few wrinkles, but I will use make up so that it can hide everything. I will wear glasses, because my mother has got stigmatism and it's hereditary. But they will be fashionable and beautiful. I won't change my hair colour but I will dye my white hair. I will be more obedient and serious than now.

I will live in a small house. Small, but comfortable, with a little garden. The garden will be beautiful and it will have many flowers, and chairs made of wood. There, I will have a dog. The house will have one sitting room, a kitchen, two baths and four bedrooms. One of the bedrooms, will be form me and my partner, and the others, for my children. For my son, I will panit the walls blue, and for my daughter, pink.

In twenty years, I will be an English teacher. I hope that I can work in a town near my house, like Berga. I will be friendly with the teenagers and I will try to teach as well as I can. At the weekend, I will do English classes at home for all children of people from all ages.

In my free time, if I have time, and if I have money, I will go to tennis classes and I will travel around the world. But if i haven't, I will stay at home, with my family, and together, we will watch films, we will cook new and trendy dishes, and we weill go to the mountains to spend a long and beautiful time taking photographs of the nature.

Composition

It was a dark and stormy night when my parents left the house. I was afraid, but my parents didn't notice it. I had the dinner and i thought that it could be better if I went to sleep. When I switched off the light, I heard a noise. Then, a thunder. felt on a tree taht was next to my house. I called the firemen, because my garden was burning! Twenty minutes later, they came and they put out the fire. I didn't call mu parents, bvecause i knew that they were in an important appointment and I didn't want to worry them. They arrived when I was falling asleep on the sofa. They were surprised when they saw the garden. The next morning, we cleaned the garden and we planted new flowers. Now, my parents, never leave the house at night without me.
