Stefan's

Suddenly I woke up, everything was blurry, light could barely get into my eyes. I tried to look up but the most I could catch were the first two numbers and the colour of the car. I couldn't feel my left arm, but that didn't mind I hardly stood up and instantly realized my right leg was spurting blood out like a geyser but I managed to walk a few meters before falling. Unfortunately, Claire could not say the same thing, she was lying face down in the sidewalk, leaving a blood pool around her. I was getting dizzy, I had to take care of my leg but I was paralysed looking at Claire, I couldn't believe it, we were filled with joy and laughter a few seconds ago and I couldn't make my mind that I won't see her again. I fell unconscious. By Stefan Costea I woke up hearing a siren and with someone telling me that I shouldn't be afraid. I then realized I was in an ambulance, where I fell unconscious again. I finally woke up after two days in the hospital, I had my ar...

BE CREATIVE (REVISE YOUR APPLIED PROJECT)

When I asked for an Applied Project, I wanted to see your creativity and how you can learn doing things that are not imposed by the teacher. YOU NEED TO BE CREATIVE AND MAKE AN EFFORT YOU NEED TO HAVE LEARNT SOMETHING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE Revise your timetable for this coming week and be more specific.

BE MORE SPECIFIC WITH WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO BE CREATIVE MAKE AN EFFORT

LAURA'S

It was Friday, like any other Friday, or at least I thought it was. I woke up as usually at 7:30 a.m, I had a shower and I went downstairs for breakfast. While I was going downstairs I heard my mom talking with another lady, in a start I didn't know who was she, but then i recognised my cousin’s voice. Once in the kitchen I remembered that she was going to stay home for the following 4 days while her house was getting paint. Laura I had totally forgotten, and I had to collect and clean my whole room, because it was mess. Once it was neat, I ran to take the bus to school and left my cousin alone at home. She told us she was ill and so she stayed there while my mother went to work. My father was in Mexico since wednesday. When I came back home, she was in the sofa watching TV. I went upstairs to leave my stuff when I saw the wrapping of a condom. I was shocked, because it wasn’t mine and it wasn’t there when i cleaned the room that morning. My cousin is only fourteen… That ...

MIGUEL'S

Miguel de Perosanz: Today is a beautiful day of spring in the small town, just 50 kilometres north of Edinburgh. The refreshing wind of the morning shakes the flowers in the park, those flowers that don’t leave anyone indifferent with their astonishing variety of colours. The sprinklings of water that emanate from the blue fountain reflect the sun, forming a beautiful rainbow that attracts her attention. There lays a girl, wearing a skirt… Wait a moment, I just forgot where we are, it’s a boy! Gonzalo Quintanilla: He is called William, and has a long story behind him. He is not really scottish, he is adopted, he arrived to Scotland when he was 5 years old, so he does not remember his old life in Germany at all, although he has some flashbacks because he had a really harsh childhood, those flashbacks are usually while he is sleeping, and appear as nightmares. Andrés Rodríguez: All those nightmares are pretty similar. A tall SS soldier is chasing him and he’s running. I...
