A narrative with dialogue


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.

About an experience


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.

An Opinion

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.
