2nd BAT Colegio SIL

Last summer I had an experience that I’ll never forget. I took part in a football tournament and in one of the two matches I played; I went crazy because a lot of weird things happens.

The opponents were kicking us every single minute, the goal keeper had no idea about football rules and the referee was whistling against our team all the time. I was getting on my nerves and I started insulting the referee and kicking everything I found on my way. Eventually, the referee threw me out of the match. A few minutes, when the match had finished, a father, whose child was football player from the other team, started to frown on me. When I saw him, I confronted him. Suddenly, he ran very fast towards me to kick me. Fortunately the president of the club and two people more took that man to keep him away from me.

When the entire event was over, I took my helmet and went home. The next day, I felt scared so I sent a message to the captain of the team to make up with either team and that father.

The last Weekend I had one of the most relaxing and heartwarming experiences of my life while I was in a mountain retreat. My friends and I were staying in a cottage house in a village at 1500 meters height called Gisclareny. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Eight years ago I had an experience that I’ll never forget while my parents and I were driving through Extremadura towards Andalusia. We had been travelling for several hours across Spanish roads and we were utterly exhausted, when all of a sudden something appeared in front of us.

In the spur of the moment, my father swerved without realising what it was. The car slid getting perpendicular to the road. We all sigh, but with no time to react, a truck was heading towards us at high speed. He had the time enough to pull the car backwards the sufficient distance in order to get the cabin of the car safe. The truck collided with the front of the vehicle without harmful consequences; we were all safe and sound. What a close shave!

Once returned to calm, we realised that what had caused the accident had been a dog crossing the road. A poor foraging animal may have caused a serious accident.

NARRATIVE ESSAY


My last Christmas holidays were awful. I will never forget when I was staying in Berlin with my little sister and my grandparents.
The weather was horrible, freezing and snowing. We had been playing for a long time in a Christmas's fair, near to a beautiful river, when suddenly we saw someone in the water drowning.
We were scared about the image but it became worst when we saw that my little sister wasn't with us. We were looking for a few minutes for my sister and then we saw his scarf in the floor. We can't believe it!! We didn't know what to think!!
She had disappeared!! During one second we were thinking that she was the person inside the water.
Five minutes later, something gave us hope. Someone had helped the person who was inside the water and we can saw that she wasn't my sister.
Out of the crow, we saw her asking for popcorn in a small shop. My grandparents and I were really happy but quite angry too, because she didn't ask our permission.
She was really sorry and after our adventure we think twice about leaving my little sister walking alone.

Last summer I had an experience that I’ll never forget. In my village there’s a huge lake, my friends and I were staying in front of the lake when we was explaining an urban legend about “the spirit of the lake”. We’d have been scared when suddenly we see the water grow up.

GOOD SAMARITAN


It was my first wedding anniversary and I was driving to the restaurant where my wife and I had to met. Although my car is a "Smart" there was no place to park, so I had to be searching for a place, but nobody left his place with his car. I was exhausted and starving


Afterwards I saw a handicapped parking, my intention was to park perpendicular to the other parked cars to take up less space, but suddenly when I thought that the coast was clear a policeman appeared through the window of the car, I realized that he caught me red-handed, and I have to leave the place and continue searching.


In the end I found a little place in where I was able to park, but I had to maneuvered, thanks god that a nice person was advising me during the maneuvers. I got it after intense minutes trying to park. I was about to leave the car when the person who helped me entered the car was in front of my car and leave his place. When he leave it was a gigantic place to park.

Two summer ago, when I was having my summer holidays, I had an experience that I’ll never forget. I was staying with my friend Paula in her house in the mountain. One afternoon we were bored and we decided to go for a walk. The views were utterly stunning and calm and peace reigned around us.

When it started to get dark we decided to go home and all of a sudden we realised that we were completely lost. The peace and calm became in anxiety and fear. There was anything around us and it was getting very, very late. As soon as we had coverage in the mobile we call the police, as there wasn’t another option.

After a while, when it was pitch black, they found us. Unbelievably we were ten kilometres far from Paula’s house. I’ll certainly think twice about going for a walk through the forest in the future!

Last summer I had an experience I'll never forget. One boring night, while I was watching a stupid program called "Who is the worst?", a friend of mine called and said to go to the forest and run a little bit in order to stretch before the 100 meters Barcelona Race which was taking place the next week. I accepted.

When we were reaching the forest, Joseph, my friend, who is quite older than me, radically stopped. He said he had heard a strange noise coming from the depths of the forest. He was scared to death. I tried to revive him, and hopefully he finally accepted to keep running. After twenty ten minutes, in the most pitch black zone of the forest, I started to hear a weird noise. I was petrified but I tried not to listen to it. It was a voice from a man. He was saying "Don't make another steep or you both are dead". I couldn't stand listening this and I stopped. Joseph, who was running in front of me didn't see me, and continue running. I tried to call him but he was listening to music as always. He didn't stop, so I started running again without resting to catch him. I don't know how or when but I lost sight of him. I decided to return home and hope he came back home. I was very scared, hungry and completely filthy because I steeped in a paddle of mud, so I started running to get home as earlier as I could, but suddenly I saw a man in the distance. Probably the same man who was whispering before. He was coming towards me. I turned round, but the same man was now there! I didn't know what to do. I close my eyes trying to think what to do.

After a while I opened the eyes. The man had disappeared. In his place was Joseph waiting for me. He asked me what happened to me that 20 minutes I had been stayed lied on the floor. I watched very carefully Joseph, and I could see something in his face, he was happier than ever. Of course, today is Halloween! It must have been the Halloween's Joseph joke! I was utterly impressed. He use to do very good jokes, but this year's is the best, I thought.

This summer, while I was staying at home, one of my friends called me. She asked me if I would like to watch a film in a garage with two more friends. The idea was good, so I accepted it and at night I went to her garage that was near my house.

While I was going to the place, I only could see the pitch black street. Suddently, I heard the sound of an iron door. It came from the swimmingpool that has an access by the street. I was completely frightened and I didn't know if run home or go along the street. For a seconds I felt totally scared and then I heard some laughs. This fact raised my fear until the moment that I saw my friends' car parked.

They saw that I was utterly furious, so the two boys got out of the swimmingpool. Actually, if I were them, I would had laugh out loud seeing somebody in that situation because it wasn't such terrifying. Finally, we went to watch the movie that, in fact, was a terror movie.

ABOUT ME

I’m a serious, strong-willed boy from Georgia. I hate bossy, authoritarian people because they remember me of my father, who used to hit me when I was a child. I’m cold-blooded and heartless, so I do not like sensitive, good-natured people either. However, I do like flowers and music, they are my only weakness and it has been so ever since I was little. I am a fighter for the change and in my free time I like to write about my future plan of revolution. My deepest dream is to create a new revolutionary nation, free from capitalism and, of course, subordinate to me.

I’M LOOKING FOR PEN FRIENDS WHO ARE:

Age: Indeterminate

Gender: Either male or female

I’m interested in getting to know weak, easy-controllable people and I would like to find youth eager to join my revolution team against the authorities. If you are obedient and complacent, we will get on very well. I’m also looking for intelligent, warm-hearted men, catholics and important people such as doctors and engineers to create a winter camp at Siberia. I’m sure they will enjoy their time there very much.

ABOUT ME:


I consider myself as a very outgoing person (although I can be little shy sometimes), crazy (but coherent), with clear ideas and friend of my friends. Sometimes I have bad mood (I admit), but I think that this proves I'm a person with character, that sometimes is better to have it than not have it.

I have lived in Barcelona all my live. I love living here because, apart from that the city is so wonderfull, you can choose between going to the mountain or the sea and this is something that in many places you can’t do it. But live here has disadvantatges too: there's a lot of polution, noise and the truth is that the city is so much expensive. However, it's a city which is one of the best seen in Spain.

Nowadays, I live with my parents and my brother but I'd like to become independent with any fiend when I start my college career and have a steady job to pay the rent.

I don’t consider myself as a person with "hobbies". I think I'm the typical who like being with friends and having a good time with them. What fascinates me is travelling. In fact, every summer I go with my parents anywhere in the world and it also helps me to forget the problems and to spend a good time with my family. When I grow old, I'd like to take a backpack, money, and go to explore the world, far away from here. For me, it would be an incredible experience. Also, I’d like do skydiving but as I’m a bit jinx, I’m sure that the parachute do not open and I will turn into mush for babies.

Honestly, I have no idea what I will do in the future. I'd like to be a veterinarian but for now I prefer not to make decisions or settle on anything. I just want to live in the moment without being worried about what will and will not do.


I AM LOOKING FOR A PEN FRIEND TO:


• Age: 17-20
• Gender: Either male or female



I am interested in meeting new people, especially if they share the same interests than me. If it’s possible, I'd like to meet people from other countries to learn about their culture and to test my English and increase my level. I would also like to learn French or Italian but in my opinion, I think that this is more a whim than anything else.
If anyone is interested in this, send an e-mail to laiabarreram@gmail.com. I will receive with pleasure.
