My favourite vacation…


 Hello! Now I will talk about how my favourite vacation would be like…
In my favourite vacation I’d travel through Europe, visiting especially counties like Italy, Spain, France, Austria, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland and Germany. Of course I’d need a lot of money to do that, but if I had it, that’s what I’d do. I really like the European cultures, I think they are very rich, and the places, the landscapes and the architecture are amazing, even intoxicating, and they make me feel something that is difficult to explain, a kind of connection.

 If I were in Italy, I’d visit Venice, Rome, Vatican City, and South Tirol. In France I’d visit Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, for example. In Spain I would like to go to Madrid, Barcelona, Asturias, Galicia and Basque Country. In Scotland I would go to the old towns, cultural centres, mountains, fields, natural places. In England I’d visit old castles, museums, cultural places, touristic attractions, royal places that I can visit, old pubs, the forests, and natural places. In Ireland I would go to cultural centres, old Irish pubs, fields and meadows, mountains, beautiful natural places and the main cities of the country. Finally, in Germany, I’d like to visit Berlin, München, Frankfurt, Bonn, Leipzig, Neuschwanstein Castle, and a lot of cities, to see beautiful cultural and natural places and attractions, and to know how really Germany is.

A book I really like...

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which is one of my favourite books.
 This book was written by J. K. Rowling, and released on 8th July 2000, and the story is set in England, specifically in London and the Magical World, between 1994 and 1995.
In this story, as in the other books of Harry Potter, the main characters are Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Cedric Diggory, Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody, Hagrid, , Neville Longbottom, Peter Pettigrew, Lord Voldemort, Lucius Malfoy, Barty Crouch and Barty Crouch Jr..
 The story starts when Harry is dreaming of a person, who then is killed. After this, he goes with the Weasleys, Hermione and the Diggorys to the Quidditch World Cup. In the night after a match, Voldemort’s followers attacked, and destroyed the tents where Quidditch fans slept. In Hogwarts, the Triwizard Tournament started, but this time four wizards were chosen, including Cedric Digory and Harry Potter, who was under age. There were three tasks, but at the last one, when Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter were going to win together, they were transported to the place where Voldemort  was going to recover his body, the same place Harry dreamt of. Voldemort kills Cedric, but after the fight, Harry escapes with Cedric’s corpse. Then, Professor Moody takes Harry to his office, but Harry could notice that the teacher wasn’t the real Alastor Moody, but he was Barty Crouch Jr.. Fortunately, after a moment Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape, with more people arrived, and helped Harry.
 I think this book gives a message that makes us reflect on the worth of friendship and the importance of choosing the right path, helps us to tell the difference between what’s bad and what’s wrong, and it also motivates us to do it.
 I like this book so much, mainly because of the world is created in this book, which catches me, and because of the story, which I think is really exciting and I think it is very special.
