A wonderful concert!

2008-05-21T11:17:00.001-03:00

The Rolling Stones Concert

Last month I went to a concert of the Rolling Stones! I went with my best friends and my cousin. It was so great. They played their new CD and I bought it but in that moment I had no money, so my cousin gave me some to buy it.
The guitarist signed it! We had a pair of binoculars to see the show better, so we could see very well because we were sat next to the stage.
It was a little smaller than the stage of PinkFloyd but I enjoyed the show a lot.
The singer invited us to have dinner with him, because my uncle knows him, and he got the tickets for free.
We went to the best restaurant of the city. I think it was the greatest day of my life. Specially because in the middle of the show, the singer came down of the stage.

A GREAT EXPERIENCE

Last year I went to the book fair with my mother, this is an exhibition of books. It’s really good because you can play, learn, look, and read about books. When I entered into the place, first I walked around to see something about this, then I saw a game, in the game you had to answer the questions, if you won you could take a prize, but, if you lost you had to start again. As I won they gave me a small book, I went to see a play too in the play you could learn because it was about all different things, and it was the best part of the fair. I saw a famous writer he gave me his autograph, he was an old person and he was so funny because he made me a joke. At the fair there weren’t only books, there were many things, decoration paper, nice pens, pencils, rubbers with different shapes, etc. I bought some decorative paper and scissors with all different shapes; I bought a book for me and for my mother too. That day was really excellent because I learned so much but in a funny way and saw things that I had never seen. I hope to do again.

My favourite team ! by Melisa Szaj. from 3J

The happiest day of my life!!!

Two weeks ago I went to a football match. I bought a ticket to see the match San Lorenzo vs. Caracas with my father. We went by Dani´s car, Itai´s father, my friend. In the street there were a lot of cars. We didn’t get a place to leave the car but finally we found a parking area.
In the stadium there were lots of people, with flags. They sang all the time.
When the match started I was very nervous, because San Lorenzo, my team, had to win to continue in the championship “Libertadores de America”. The match was very exciting.
Bergessio, my favourite player, scored the first goal, after fifteen minutes. Then San Lorenzo scored the second goal. We were very happy!
In the middle of the match my father bought me a hot dog. I didn’t like it.
In the second half of the match , San Lorenzo scored a third goal. The final score was 3-0 to San Lorenzo.
I think it was a brilliant match! San Lorenzo played very well. We were very happy and excited because San Lorenzo won. After the match, we came back home. It was the happiest day of my life!

A Car Exhibition

Last Wednesday afternoon I went to a car exhibition in La Rural. I went with my father and my brother. In the event we saw a big variety of cars, elegant, sports, F1, vans, trucks and more. I sat down in the cars, my father took me photos. We were very happy. I drove a karting My favourite cars are the Ferrari and the Rolls Royce. We were very excited because we saw the concept cars from different brands, Ford, Corvette, Chrysler. We bought something to drink because we were in the event for five hours. At 9 o`clock there was a truck exhibition, and the people could travel in the trucks. That was fantastic. My father did it. I think it was a big event and we enjoyed that a lot because in my family; we love cars,
Two months a go I went to a plane exhibition with my uncle
