Prince Wiliam THE HERO. Every girl dreams of being rescued by a Prince Charming, but for Ruby Lawrence the dream came true. After breaking her leg on Mount Snowdon in Wales, the 21-years-old was saved by Prince William himself. William piloted the rescue helicopter through foggy conditions close to the mountain so that his crew could airlift her aboard. The prince was doing his SAS helicopter training in Wales, and was called to help the mountain rescue team that had come to her aid. Bravo, William!

Something happened a couple of weeks ago wich was a real test of my honestly. I was with friends, and we were playing football in a park. There's a house near the park and we broke a glass.
The man of the house appeared.
"Who broke the glass?"He asked. We looked at each other guiltily, then my friend spoke.
"I'm not sure what happened", he said. He wasn't telling the truth.
"One bird hit the glass" I said. I wasn't me who broke it. I wasn't telling the truth.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
My friend Jonny whispered me: "When I said 3 we run away!"
"1...2..3!" Say Jonny, and all of my friend run away.
"Little bastards, come here little bastards, I'm going to call the police, come here little bastards!
It was a funny and amazing experince, but i felt that I hadn't done the right thing.
This time last year, tings weren't going too well for me. I'd failed some exams at school. I spent a lot of time in computer. The only thing that make me happy was Rugby.
Everything changed for me the day I saw a book about climbing. The people were going to climbing. We went to Annapurna (Himalaya) and we went to climb the Annapurna, a very tall and big mountain. I found new friends.
These days I feel much happier. Climbing has made me feel more important.
If I hadn't read this book, I'd never had the opportunity.
Should the people spend time watching television or reading books?
In my opinion the people mustn't watch TV more that 2 hours a day. We shouldn't do everything to do sport and read books.
I agree with spending time reading books and do just sport. We shouldn't play computer games and watch rubbish TV
I believe that people should do as they can to play chess and other tabletops games. We should buy more tabletops games. We should ban violent games and other stupid pc games.
In conclusion, it is clear to me that we must play tabletops games, do sport, and read a lot of books. The politicians must ban violent games.

I'm just writing to check that everything's OK for your visit. I think you'll like Barcelona. On Wednesday morning we're doing a bicycle tour with my parents because they really want to show you the city. We'll be free in the afternoon, so we'll probably meet some of my friends (Peter, James, Paul, John..) and we could go to the cinema. I expect we'll end up in one of the cafés in the center. On Thursday, we could rend a boat. There are some beautiful beatches in the north (Cadaqués, Llança, Port de la Selva...). We can swim and diving. That could be nice! We're going to meet at the airport of Barcelona tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you. Ricard.
