6th Year Students Wrote About People They Admire


A person I admire.

I'm going to write about a friend, about my best friend. He is called Alejandro. He is fifteen and he lives a little far from my house, in Parque Patricios. He goes to Ramón Falcón school, but in first and second year, he went to Confederación Suiza school (that's where I go now and that's the reason why I know him). He goes to school in the morning, so in the afternoon he sleeps if he wants (I envy him!), and in his free time, he plays videogames or goes to play a football match with friends, he's very good at playing football!
He's got two dogs, but I don't know why I'm writing this.
He likes listening to all kinds of music, but he hates some genres. He likes playing football. He hates being (negatively) compared with anyone.
His appearance? He has short, black hair and brown eyes. He is a little shorter than me (more or less 8 cm.) and he is neither thin nor fat. (He’s average; I can't find a word for that hahaha). He's very cheerful and he keeps secrets very well. I admire him very much because he has changed my point of view about friendship and now, I think I see friendship in another way which is better, thanks to him. He is always happy and every time we meet, I tell him a lot of things that happened during the week and I don't worry about what I tell him because I feel I can trust him everything.  and say all stupid things I say weekly (or daily ), and that's another reason why I admire him, and he always listens to me when I need to tell him a problem.
I think my best friend isn't very popular (that's not necessary no?), and he likes spending time with his family, he almost never argues with someone in his family.

Describing a person

I’m going to talk about the course tutor I had in my previous school, Santa Rosa for three years. His name was Leandro Sirito. We all called him by his surname, Sirito. I haven’t seen him for three months but I remember that he lived very far away from the school. Besides being tutor he was a religion teacher. I don’t know what he is doing now that my school has closed. I hope that he has been  able to find another job.
Sirito has got a round face, brown eyes and short brown hair. He’s got a large nose and a big chin. He’s quite tall, very thin but he isn’t very good-looking. He is in his early thirties but he looks younger.
Sirito was very popular in my previous school, everybody knew who he was, and he was very helpful, especially when we told him our problems. He always listened to all of them and was very honest. He was a person you could trust on, very reliable. He got on with every one, he was very hard-working and got angry when someone did something wrong. When you felt down he always made you laugh. He didn’t tell much about his life, he was very reserved. The only thing we knew was that he had a girl friend but he never talked about her.
I miss him because not only was he my tutor and teacher, but also a friend. He was and still is a person I admire.

A special person

     OK, I didn’t think too much about the person who I’m going to write. I think that she is the best person I’ve ever met in my life. Well, we know that nobody is perfect, but she is near to that. She is Carolina.
  I met her in a concert, last year, on May 29th. Juan and I were waiting for the concert on the queue when she appeared. We were with other friends too. I was surprised because of her beauty, so I tried to talk with her. And I did it well. We talked a lot and, after the concert, we continued talking. And we never stopped, we continued in contact and we became very good friends, I remember that moment with a smile.
  Well, let’s talk about her, her family, her life…she is nineteen years old, and she lives in Ramos Mejía, with her mother. Her father…well, her father is disappeared. I know that he had a problem with them and that’s all. Someday I will ask her about him, but not now.
  She loves art. She spends a lot of time drawing and painting, and it’s amazing to see how she reproduces her feelings in the canvas.
  Talking about animals, she loves cats. She has two cats, but she spends a lot of time with one of them, with the male. She always tries to help abandoned animals.
  And now, let’s talk about basketball, a sport she loves. She used to play basketball in a club but now she is very busy with the university and her job.
  She likes watching movies at night. I sometimes go to her house and spend all the night watching movies and talking about our lives. We usually go to Starbucks café when she comes here, to Caballito.
  Let’s describe her physically. She has long, red hair (a week ago she was blond!) and light blue eyes. It’s like looking at the sky when you look into her eyes, believe me. She is quite short and really strong! I think that she is beautiful, as I said.
  Well, about her character...she is really sociable and cheerful. She is cold too; it’s very difficult for her to show her feelings if it is now drawing, but when she does, she can be the sweetest person you would ever know. I was lucky to be in some of her “expressive” moments. She is very popular because of her “crazy” personality. She is serious only when it’s necessary, so most of the time she is really funny. She always listens to your problems, to your life, to every detail, you can trust on her because she would never fail.
  Well, I could continue writing about her but this text will be very long. My conclusion is simple: I can’t live without her now. I ´ve learned a lot of things about life with her, we had a lot of memorable moments and now she is like an axis in my life. It’s not necessary to say that I love her, I think.

A person I admire

Taylor Swift was born in Pennsylvania on December  13th, 1989. She makes pop, pop rock and especially country music. She is a song writer and she also sings. Her career as a singer started in 2006 with her first album “Taylor Swift” which had “Our song” and other hits. She lives in Nashville with her boyfriend Conor Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s son. She is ecologist and likes playing the guitar.
Taylor has got blonde curly hair and blue eyes. She is thin and quite tall.
She hardly ever wears make up, she likes looking natural. She is girly and particularly cute. She has an 80’s bohemian style such as her BFF Dianna Agron from GLEE.
Taylor is known for making songs about her past relationships, for example: she wrote her new hit “We are never ever ever getting back together” after Joe Jonas called her back. She also writes about friendship, being a teenager girl and sad moments in her life. Her icon is a heart, something she makes with her hands while she sings for feeling connected with fans. I personally love Swiftie’s hearts.

The person I admire

My mother is medium height, she looks very pretty, and she has dark brown hair with friendly brown eyes. She always manages to look well-dressed. The first reason why I admire her is that she teaches me from her experience. The second reason is that she takes cares of her children first, and then she takes cares of herself. Taking care of a person is not easy, and taking care of yourself at the same time is even harder. In conclusion I admire my mother because she works so hard for our family and for my best. When I grow up I will take care of her the way she does with me right now.

6th Year Students Read "1984" and Wrote About It


1984 Write a page of Winston diary after the end of the book.

Dear diary,

This day passed too quickly... for me. I am feeling very happy because I´ve done interesting things. However, I am very tired now and think I need some sleep.
I got up and had breakfast, a very good breakfast, maybe because I ate at Chestnut Tree Café, but, honestly, I don't remember something: if I ate at home house, would the food be better? I don't care about it, the food there was great.
While I was eating the last croissant, a lady entered very quietly to the café, and when I saw her walking straight to my table, I knew she was Julia, so I left the café immediately, previously leaving fifty dollars to the waiter. I walked to the park, it seemed too beautiful, or, at least, more than other days. I walked around the lake and sat on a iron chair for one hour, staring at the lake, the ducks and the people walking. Later, I went to work. I love it, specially because there is the face of Big Brother and he makes me happy and makes my work funnier. I really like those telescreens, too.
When I finished with my work, I returned home. I went to sleep and now I woke up I still feel tired!

1984

The story is set in Oceania, which is ruled by the party whose representative is Big Brother. In this society there are three social classes: the inner party, the outer party and the proles. Winston is a man of about fourty five years old, who works in the Ministry of Truth. He changes the news to make the party always right. Suddenly he starts to distrust the party and BB thinking that is all a fake they use to keep the power. Winston begins to disobey the party. The first thing he does is to buy a diary in a proletarian neighborhood, something forbidden. Winston starts to write his ideas on it. One day, at work he saw O’ Brien, a member of the inner party. He was staring at Winston and he began to think that O’Brien shared his ideas about the party. Later, in one of his visits to the proletarian neighborhood he realized that a young woman was following him. The woman was called Julia. He confessed Winston that she was in love with him. Winston started to know her deeply and he fell in love with her. He realized that she was againts the party too. Mr. Charington, the man who had sold him the diary, rented Winston a room where he could meet Julia behind the party vigilance. One day the couple decided to visit O’Brien to learn how to learn how to fight against the party. He talked to them about the brotherhood and helped them to get Goldstein´s book (the biggest enemy of the party). The couple went to Mr. Charrington’s room to read the book but there they were attacked by the thought police. The owner of the shop was a spy of the party and he had betrayed the couple. They were taken to the Ministry of Love where they were tortured until they confessed all their crimes, they betrayed one another and ended up loving BB.

1984. Winston is writing on his diary after leaving roon 101.

Here I am again, writing a page of my life on my diary…but alone this time. Alone and destroyed. When I look back in time and remember what happened in that cell, in that room, I can´t stop blaming myself, thinking in the people I could have saved. I was the only one, I was the “chosen” to fight the Party, it doesn’t matter how… It was my duty. But they’ve beaten me, and now I’m here in this dirty bar, being convinced that two and two make five, that there were people who never existed.
I still have a dream. I imagine that, if all the people against the Party joined me, we would win a battle, maybe two… Why weren´t we able to win the war?  We still can do it, because we must do it. We can’t let this world fall into pieces, because it’s our world, not the Party’s.
And now I’m thinking better, and I’ve just realized something. They didn’t beat me, they’ve only attacked and have weakened me, but I’m not beaten.
So remember this: Maybe I’m weak now, but I will get stronger. Two and two make four. All the people make history in this world, they will always exist. I will come back. Soon.

SOME COMMENTS ABOUT TOPICS DEVELOPED IN 1984.


-SEX: IT WAS USED TO SHOW LOVE , BUT ITS ONLY GOAL WAS TO PLAY.FOR PARTY MEMBERS LOVE AND SEXUAL RELATIONS WERE FORBIDDEN EXCEPT TO ALLOW REPRODUCTION AND TO  ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF THE PARTY IN POWER.

-EMOTIONS AND PRIVACY: INTIMACY WAS LOST AND EVERYTHING WAS SEEN THROUGH TELESCREENS AND MICROPHONES. THE LOVE FOR OTHERS DIDN`T EXIST.

IN MY OPINION IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT PRIVACY,WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO EXPRESS EMOTIONS, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE LOVED ONES. SEX CAN`T BE CONSIDERED ONLY AS REPRODUCTION BUT AS AN ACT OF LOVE.
IT IS A VERY SAD STORY AND IT IS VERY WELL WRITTEN.

5th A describe cities in Argentina


Buenos Aires is a big city which is situated in Argentina. It's perfect for people who like enjoying nightlife and that are interested in tango.
You can go to ''Plaza de Mayo'' and delight your eyes with the beautiful old buildings such as the Congreso and the traditional cafes.
You will also enjoy the '' Natural reservation '' situated in the beautiful Costanera Sur where you can do long walks with a beautiful and natural landscape.
At night you can enjoy the tango shows or the excellent operas at Colon theatre.
Looking for somewhere to rest? Go to Palermo and lie on the grass under the sun.
The food here is excellent too. You must taste the ''asado''.
Buenos Aires is a city where you can go with your friends and boyfriend and have a really good time because there are too many things to do.

Buenos Aires is one of the most popular and splendid cities in the world. Buenos Aires, where you can have a great time!
It´s situated on the east coast of Argentina.
It´s also well-known because of its cultural life, its magnificent architecture and of course, because it´s a modern city; the first attraction for tourists.
Anyone lucky enough to visit Buenos Aires will find plenty to see and do. For a start, the enormous and splendid Obelisco if the first place you have to visit. Another interesting place that every tourist visits is "La Boca", the most colorful neighborhood. The third place you can visit is the "Colón theatre"; the visit to this theatre is breathtaking because of its magnificent architecture. The last place I recommend if you want to have a relaxing day is "Palermo Lake", a wonderful park with beautiful views.
Buenos Aires´ nightlife is exciting and varied. You can go to a sophisticated restaurant and have a lovely evening with your couple, but also you can go dancing with your friends to an exotic dance club; and if you are a little bit tired, you can just walk around the city and appreciate the magnificent sight.
Buenos Aires is a huge and fascinating city. You can´t visit every place and be satisfied with just one tour.
I´m sure that every person who visits Buenos Aires will want to come back again. It would be the perfect holiday destination for everyone!

Mar del Plata, in the province of Buenos Aires Argentina, is a beautiful city that has an amazing beach and a really good weather to spend your vacations. The beach is always clean, but the water not that much, anyway it’s really nice because there are lots of ice-cream and delicious corn sellers. The sun is always shining but the sea can be kind of wild, sometimes it’s really calm, anyway.
Leaving the great beach and weather aside, there’s also a great night life. You can go to many night clubs, which have all kinds of music: electro, pop, reggaeton, etc; and you can go to the cinema where there are great and fun movies to watch, and even to a theatre (that are really beautiful and big); there are lots of restaurants as well, and it’s for sure you’ll get a nice fresh fish for dinner, or a steak, or pastas, or whatever you want!
I’ll recommend it to go in summer and in winter too; you are going to be very amused by the plays at theatres, or by really good restaurants there. I hope you´ll visit Mar del Plata soon and if you do, have a good time!
