Hi Deepika,
I've just met Mario. I'll tell you!

I've just met him in my cousin's macro-party but I had seen him before while I was buying some bread at Mercadona.

He's got brown eyes and brown hair. He is so cute and very polite. He is also a very good person. We've been walking on the beach every day at dark and we've gone on long walks and having an ice cream.

I've been thinking about my relationship with Mario I think he love me a lot but sometimes I change my mind or I think I'm a bit too young for him because he is four years older than me.

What do you reckon?

Love, Sarah

HALLOWEEN

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints.

Originally Halloween was a pagan festival, around the idea of linking the living with the dead, when contact became possible between the spirits and the physical world, and magical things were more likely to happen. Like most pagan festivals, long ago it was absorbed into the festivals of the expanding Christian church, and became associated with All Hallows Day, or All Saints Day, which eventually fell on November 1.
The celebration of Halloween survived most strongly in Ireland. It was an end of summer festival, and was often celebrated in each community with a bonfire to ward off the evil spirits. Children would go from door to door in disguise as creatures from the underworld to collect treats, mainly fruit, nuts and the like for the festivities. These were used for playing traditional games like eating an apple on a string or bobbing for apples and other gifts in a basin of water, without using your hands. Salt might be sprinkled on the visiting children to ward off evil spirits. Carving turnips as ghoulish faces to hold candles became a popular part of the festival, which has been adapted to carving pumpkins in America.

The day is often associated with the colours black and orange, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

My summer started when I finished school. Every day, I met Vicky, Anna in the evenings. Some days we went to the show called: “MONOLEGS”. It's a lot of fun.

My trip to Scotland. ,ell, I must confess that. I wasn't exactly in Scotland: I was in a little town called Scarborough ( England). On of the days we wen to visit Edinburgh. It's very interesting. When we were returning to ours homes ( in Scarborough) we saw the castle of harry Potter but we drove by very quickly. Every day we had a lesson. In my classroom, there were people from all over the world. I met people for example from: China, Arabia, France Italy and of course Spain. I had very good time there and I recommend you to do this: Have a new experience like me !!!!

After this amazing travel I went to the beach with Laura s. and another friend. I spent 5 days in PDA ( Platja d'Aro) Every days we used to wake up at 12 am (because we were a little bit lazy and after that, we used to walk to the beach and have a bath.

When I finished my stay in PDA, I wen to Urtx. Urtx is a very little village. When I was there, I invited my friend Deepika, I've know her since we were babies in the orphanage in India. We had a great time together.

The day before starting school I went to Sa Riera, in Begur which is a beach and I saw Martí, one of the actor of (Vent del Pla).
