My motorcycle

A long time ago my parents asked me if I would like to have a motorbike.
- I don't need a motorbike but if you want to buy one for me it would be great!- I said. I had never stopped to think if I wanted a motorbike.

One week ago my parents were on the computer and I were watching TV. I was a little bit bored so I went to see what were they doing. When I arrive they closed the computer's screen.
- What are you doing? - I said.
- Nothing, nothing.- said my parents.
At that moment I began to suspect that my parents were plotting something.

Two days later they showed me a photo of a scooter, and two days later I found a scooter in my garage.

The scooter is white and it has got some flowers' stickers in the wheel. I was very very very very and very happy. At the top of the motorbike there was a helmet. The helmet is white and it has got an inscription that says: Kiss me lollipop.

I was so excited and I didn't think twice. I get on the bike with my father and I drove a motorbike for the first time in my life! Yes, I know it is forbiden because I don't have my motorbike licence yet but I was but I really wanted to do it.

Beach volleyball trainigs

In the past three Sundays there have been beacho volley trainings.

This trainings are very important because if you are a good player you will go to play beach volleyball in the Spanish Championships defending the Catalan selection.

I didn't go alone at these trainings. I went with Sandra. We have played volleybay for eight years and we thought it's possible that we could go to the Spanish Championship. After the last training I realized that it's impossible. There are a lot of good players and they are better than us. I am a little bit disappointed because I started these trainings very excited and now I'm not.

During this week our trainers will comunicate us who are the six players who will go to the Spanish Campionsihp.

In this Championship only can play three player so the trainers will select three players from the six players they selectionated before. The trainers will do a specialized training in Barcelona and after this training they will decide.

I'm sure I won't be select but I hope that Sandra will be. She is a good player and she is very excited. I think she have possibilities. We need a little bit of lucky! =)

How did I meet my best friend?

I have two best friends, Sandra Martínez and Andrea López.

SANDRA MARTÍNEZ:

I met her when I was seven or eight years old. Our brothers have the same ages and I met Sandra because our brothers were friends. Sandra and I live in the same neighborhood and in this neighborhood there is a park. I met her in that park. I went with my brother to the park and there were Sandra and her brother. Our brothers began to play football together so Sandra and I began to play with the dolls together. Since then we have been best friends.

ANDREA LÓPEZ:

I met Andrea because she was a Sandra's friend. When we were doing Primary School I didn't meet her but when we started the high school we went to the same class. We became friends but I didn't talk a lot with her. It was in the second course when our teacher said that I will sit next to Andrea. During the course I sat next to Andrea. It was a fantastic course! Andrea and I became best friends because we laughed a lot in classes and we did a lot of silly things.
