Postcard

Dear sir Ector,

I was having some trouble in Camelot. The nobleman didn’t obey me, and the Saxons attacked me.

One day, I was riding in the fores and I found a fountain. In the fountain I fought with sir Pellinore, and he won. When he was about to kill me Merlin appeared and stoped sir Pellinore.

Transport

The bike is a popular transport, because it is use there and the cities for short or medium distances because it is cheaper than the car. I go to school by bike with Enric and Mateu.

I travel by car, motorhome, plane, train...

I think that in this country there isn't a problem with the public transport.

Edimburgh

Edinburgh is a city smaller than Barcelona. It is in South-East of Scotland. It is the “Atenes of the north”, it is very beautiful. It is wet, but It isn't very cold.

You can visit museums like Art Gallery, British Museum..., the St. Princess street garden, the Edinburgh castle, the Britannia...

I went to Edinburgh this summer, but I want to go again because I stayed only for one day, and I didn't watch all. I wanted to.

The polar bears

Write

The animal in this photo is a polar bear.

Polar bears live in the artic, Canada, Russia, Greenland and Norway. They live and hunt in the ice and they usually eat seals. Adult polar bears are 750 kilos, and they can swim more than 150 kilometres. Females have two cubs every four or five years.

The polar bears are dying because in the sea there's oil and humans hunt polar bears in some areas. They also die because the Artic is smaller because the climate is changing.

Writing about St. George

Every year there's a big celebration in Catalonia. It's called St. George. The celebration is on the twenty-third of April. Saint George is the patron Saint in Catalonia.

People buy and give books and they also buy and give roses to their loved ones. I buy some books.
