ABOUT A PROBLEM IN YOUR TOWN

I’m writing because I was going by bike at the city center and I sealized we need more lane bike. In this photo shows that there is only road and sidewalk.

I think there is one reason for this.                                                              

The council cannot put bikes lanes as you can get piece of sidewalk or road as it asks the bikes going down the road.

We must do something about the situation.                                             

Maybe the best solution is that we are on the road bike but is a some dangerous. 

Lots of balls

This swimming pool in a hotel in Shangai, China, was filled with one million pink and green plastics balls to set a new word record for the "Largesy Ball Pit".
It was the first time that people at the hotel has has so much time!

TV HIGHLIGHTS

The highlight of this week’s TV was definitely the reality show ‘Big Brother’. A group of people living in a house isolated and monitored by cameras 24 hours a day. They must pass tests, expulsions,…and win the ultimate prize.

Channel 3’s soap opera ‘La Riera’. The story of a family that has a restaurant, but one day the director decides to leave the direction of the business. The series revolves around four men and a mother, are the main reasons of plots.

Finally, something which also caught my eye was a musical contest ‘Oh Happy Day’ Channel 3’s. Catalan choirs performing songs to convince the jury of the program.

   

What do you know about Halloween?

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints.

Originally Halloween was a pagan festival, around the idea of linking the living with the dead, when contact became possible between the spirits and the physical world, and magical things were more likely to happen. Like most pagan festivals, long ago it was absorbed into the festivals of the expanding Christian church, and became associated with All Hallows Day, or All Saints Day, which eventually fell on November 1.

The celebration of Halloween survived most strongly in Ireland. It was an end of summer festival, and was often celebrated in each community with a bonfire to ward off the evil spirits. Children would go from door to door in disguise as creatures from the underworld to collect treats, mainly fruit, nuts and the like for the festivities. These were used for playing traditional games like eating an apple on a string or bobbing for apples and other gifts in a basin of water, without using your hands. Salt might be sprinkled on the visiting children to ward off evil spirits. Carving turnips as ghoulish faces to hold candles became a popular part of the festival, which has been adapted to carving pumpkins in America.

The day is often associated with the colours black and orange, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films!

No is a religious celecbration, it's a pagan festival but it has a Christian influence.

That day, the kids dress up and go to houses asking for candy: Trick or treat?

Plot: 

he film opens with a few words by Mary Shelley:

"I busied myself to think of a story which would speak to the mysterious fears of our nature and awaken thrilling horror; one to make the reader dread to look around, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart."

The story begins in the year 1794. Captain Walton is leading a daring, but troubled, expedition to reach the North Pole, even as his crew is threatening to mutiny. While their ship is trapped in the ice of the Arctic Sea, Walton and his crew discover a man traveling across the Arctic on his own. In the distance, a loud moaning can be heard. When the man sees how obsessed Walton is with reaching the North Pole, he asks, "Do you share my madness?" The man then reveals that his name is Victor Frankenstein and begins his tale.

There is a flashback to Victor's childhood in Geneva as the son of the wealthy Baron and Caroline Frankenstein. He grows up with his adopted sister,Elizabeth Lavenza, who becomes the love of his life. Years later, Caroline dies giving birth to his brother William. Sometime before going off to the university at Ingolstadt, a grief-stricken Victor vows on his mother's grave that he will find a way to conquer death. On the night of his graduation, Victor and Elizabeth promise to marry when Victor returns from his studies
