Title: My Romance	Title: The Dove of Peace
My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky My romance doesn't need to have one thing but you.	See the dove flying in the sky, see the dove flying wild and free, see the dove breaking the crying, see the dove around the trees. Bring the peace with its white wings, with its white wings, silent and calm, avoid the war with its strong storm of peace. Ball of light moving in the wind, bright arrow quiet and fast, world symbol full of hope, love, companionship and friendship. Bird of flowers and roses, bird that flies under the sun, bird of millions of people, the peace in the world is the dove.

Yuta Martinez, student 2nd ESO	Japan

Japan is a beautiful country. My mother is from there. My grandparents and my cousins live in Japan, but my grandparents live in a city called ''Sinjuku" and my cousins live in another city called "Chiba''. On holidays I go to Japan. The trip starts in Barcelona , it continues in Finland or in France and it finishes in Japan .The trip takes fourteen hours. I never sleep in the plane because it is very uncomfortable.

In Japan most people travel by train. In Japan we go to other cities, for example : "Akihabara, Guinza , Numazu or Ichigaya ''.

In Japan we eat salad, sausages, rice, and drink tea or hot chocolate for breakfast.
The rice in Japan is very popular, as bread in Spain. Lunch is as in Spain but we change the taste adding soya sauce.

The most famous food of Japan is "Sushi and Sashimi ''. Sushi is raw fish. Sashimi is Sushi with rice. The rice is specially cooked. Sushi is eaten with soya sauce.

I like Japan because there are all the new games. For example : Console 2 Dream Cast or Play Station 2. They are sold in Japan but Dream Cast is sold in Spain, Play Station 2 isn't.

Well, I like Japan and I think it is fun discovering new countries.

Raquel Galaso, student 4th ESO	Strange?

It's raining and it's cold. I'rn looking at the street behind the window and I'rn sad. It's this terrible sadness once again in my life. My name is Mandy and before the death of my parents I was a happy girl, a common girl. I lived in a village near the sea. So, in a small village, everybody knew everything about their neighbours and everybody knew about my life. I had a boyfriend called Benny. My friends said that my boyfriend wasn't very handsome or sexy, but they thought that he was a good person, a good boy. But they were wrong. He was a killer, an evil killer...
Today I still shiver when I remember the night of the murder. It was a cold dark night, February the 14th, Saint Valentine's day, the lover's day. I was in the dinning-room with my parents, watching a boring TV programme when the telephone rang. It was my ex-boyfriend Frank, and he called me to tell that Benny had terrible things to do that night. I got angry with Frank. After our affair, we became friends and l didn't expect those words from him. l put down the phone and I went to my room to tidy it. Two hours later I heard a strong noise and screams. Quickly, I went to the dinning-room and I saw the murder. Everything was painted in crimson colour. My parents, the blood... I felt the emptiness, the horrible emptiness. I ran back to my room to call the police and then I saw the note on my bed and the open window . I read it: it was Benny, the killer. When the police arrived I returned to reality and then I realized that my parents were dead. It drove me crazy and some strange people took me to a mental hospital.
Sometimes, in the darkness of the night, I hear strange sounds, screams, and then a familiar boy kisses my lips. Who can it be? l will never know.

Ingrid Vera, student 4th ESO	Zaire-Rwanda: What a disaster!

I remember the expedition of that year, like if this ''adventure" was yesterday.
This is the diary of the expedition. The diary was made and wrote for Evelyn.
But at first, I want to explain to you all the beginning.
We (Evelyn and I) were two years without job, and we were waiting a phone call saying that we have job.

On 15 august we received a phone call saying that we have to pass four days with a group of tourists. He pay us 5.265.789. But he said that the people were a little bit strange. And they was were...

16th August 1999 12:00

This morning Jonathan and I got up very early, at 05:20. On the airport was waiting the group.
There was a beautiful girl called Bianca, a rich man called McMains, a woman called Petra with her son of eight years: Chris, and a boy of my age: Alex.
Today we will visit the volcanoes Virunga.
More late I will tell you what we have done today.

21:00

I hate Bianca! I hate their!
Bianca is like the pretty rity. Today to go to the volcanoes, she wears: a skirt red, a T - shirt white, and a shoes of heel.
We had to return to the camp and she didn 't wanted to change her clothes. Finally , we get the reason.
O.K, when we solution the probfem with Bianca, appeared other problem: Chris.
We arrived to the volcanoes, and we went to the cyme. We were there aproximate 2 or 3 hours, but suddenly, the volcano starts to tremble. We ran and ran, but when we arrived to the car, the four wheels were punctured. We discover who were because near of each wheel was the name CHRIS. The boy! His mother said that he was only a boy, that he didn 't know what he made. With a machine, we changed the wheels. And we went out of there very fast. What a bad luck! One day that Jonathan and I went to the volcano, and it starts a eruption! They get the bad luck with their.
Alex is in love with me.
Now I am in the bed, but a half an hour before, he has entered in my bell-tent, just in my bed. I go to sleep, and I elevate the bed sheet and I find him inside. Ahhh! Jonathan has come and he has thrown out him. Well, now they're sleeping, I think I can sleep.

04:12

Oh no! Bianca is shouting. She says that she has little insects like spiders, mosquitoes,.. McMains is control the situation, I hope he will.
And tomorrow, to the reserve of Rwanda. I pray for have a good day, tomorrow. I think, we didn 't have to accept the work. This is a disaster!

17th August 1999 22:15

No, no, no and no!
Today is more bad that yesterday. I start from now. Is Alex other time! He is in my bed other time. He is saying that if I don't kiss him, he sleeps with me... Oh no!
Well, now, Jonathan is talking with McMains and with Bianca. Bianca wears a pyjama
a long pyjama. She wears a cap, an auricular, gloves, boots and a scarf. She says that with this, the insects don't go to her. This girl is very strange...
Oh! I have done the more bad thing that I can have done. I have kissed Alex! But if I didn 't kiss him, he sleeps with me!
This morning, Petra got up shouting. She listened a strange sound and when she opened her eyes, he saw a beehive with three sticks. She shouted and shouted... Chris, in silence, erased his name of the floor and took out the beehive. This boy is horrible! His mother only shouted to him five minutes, but later, she said that he was only a little boy.
Later, we went to the reserve of Rwanda, and McMains was fanning him with a lot of dollars.
We saw all the animals, but in-one moment, Chris disappeared. His mother trembled,
cried and shouted.
Jonathan, Alex and I, went to find him and when we arrived to the part of the lions, their jail was opened. We saw Chris on a tree, and we saw a packet of meat on the floor. And we saw seven lions.
We ran and ran, and we, and the others that were on the car, climbed to different trees. In one were Chris and Petra, in other, Bianca, McMains and in the last, Jonathan, Alex and I. I can't throw out this boy! He loves me, of course!
We were on the trees two hours, and later, we feel something strange on our heads. We turned round and we saw MONKEYS!. They were touching our head, and taking away our louses, because for the monkeys, our dandruff are louses. We spend two hours more on the trees with the monkeys. With a mobile phone, Jonathan phoned to the reception and they caught the lions. When we intended to go out of the trees; the monkeys started to scream and to hit us. They throw down the tree Alex and Chris, they were on the floor, laughing.
When I was coming down, Alex said: -Oh! My queen. I go to help you, my love!- Jonathan talk with him, and said that I was her girlfriend, no the girlfriend of him, Alex. I hate this boy.
When we were going to the camp, in the middle of the road, the car stopped. It hasn‘t got gasoline. We had to push the car to the camp. It was 10 kms.
Now, all people is sleeping, and Alex isn't here. Jonathan has just arrived. He is tired, and I am more that tired. Oh my God, what a disaster!
And tomorrow, we will visit the gorillas of Zaire. I will tell you. Today, have been funny, but on the trees... I have bottom-ache!

17th August 1999 21:00

Today we have visited the gorillas of Zaire, and it have been very funny and different that the other days. I explain you.
This morning, Chris was sleeping, so he didn't made anything strong.
But to stay sure, we have tied him on the chair of the car.
When we arrived to the zone of the gorillas, a girl was waiting. She and Alex fall in
love immediately. So Alex, tomorrow will go to New York, to caught the things to
come to live here in Rwanda. Because he has here his new girlfriend: Tiara.. Now, he isn't in love with me. Oh good!!!
Well, Tiara, have explained all about gorillas, and later, she went out, and we visit the gorillas. At first, all people ran away, because they were terrified. But, when Chris saw that I was caressing a gorilla, he goes to other and did the same. Later, Petra. Later, McMains, later Bianca and finishing Alex.
I was really happy for the first time. I looked around me and I saw everything with a gorilla. And Bianca playing with one! And McMains crying because the gorilla have broken all his dollars, and Petra with a very scared face, hugging one, and Chris fighting with one, and Alex taking away the louses of the gorilla...
But I remember when they have seen the gorillas. They looked them, turned round and ran away the mountain.
A good day. Now all people is sleeping. Ah! Good night diary. Tomorrow they will leave Rwanda. I think I will miss they. They are good people, but very strange. Ah! Bye.

18th August 1999 17:55

They aren't here now. They are flying to New York, now.
This morning, we went to the vi11age and they buy some souvenirs. Later, we had lunch in a restaurant, and at four o'clock, they leave Rwanda.
In the airport, I cried, because the goodbye was very sad.
I spoke to Chris and his mother, and I kissed and hugged their. I did the same with all people. With Bianca, I said to her that she was very beautiful, but a little bit vain.
With McMains, I gave him some money from here, and he gave me dollars. And with Alex, he kissed my face, and he said, that, he had found other queen, but that he always remembered me. And he will return here next Tuesday, because he will live here with Tiara.
Well I hope that other year, we will see again.
This is the diary. It was a bad day but very funny.
A group strange.
This is our job.
Ah! We gave the diary to the newspapers, and we titled it: ZAIRE-RWANDA: WHAT A DISASTER!
Jonathan and Evelyn
