URUGUAYUruguay is a little country of South America. The capital is Montevideo.
The beaches are very big and the sand is white, i don't like the water because is brown.
They haven't got the same clothes, the jeans are wide and the shoes are special.
There are a lot of gardens, and there aren't many flats.
Uruguay, in summer is very hot, and in spring rains every day. The winter is ordinary, it's cold.
Uruguay is a wonderful country for visit in summer.

CUBA
Cuba is in the Caribean sea. It’s a very big island. It is a very beautiful place, with lovely beaches. It’s also a poor country. The beaches have a very clear water and a very light sand.
I travelled to Cuba with my parents four years ago. We were three weeks with some Cuban friends. They live in La Habana, in a street called “El electrico”.
We rent a car and travelled around the island. We went to a city called “Cienfuegos”, it is a very beautiful city. All the cars are very old. The cars come from USA and they are made in the fifty’s.
The last week we went to “Varadero”, a place with a lot of big Hotels. There are very beautiful beaches with a lot of Palms, coconuts and lizards.

Paris is the capital of France. It's a big city and it is very beautiful! In Paris you can visit the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower mesures 330 meters high. You can up in the tower and see all Paris. It's fantastic and very beautiful! At night the lights turn on in the Eiffel Tower and it is amazing!
In Paris you can visit Disney Land too. In Disney Land you can see all the Disney characters and get on a lot of fun atractions. Disney Land is exciting and fun!!I like Disney Land!!
The Arc of Trionphe is another monument in Paris, where you can also up but is shorter than the Eiffel Tower. It is 49'5 meters high. It is in the centre of the Charles de Gaule square. It is a nice monument to visit in Paris.
Another way to visit Paris is on the “Bateau Mouche”. It goes on the river Sena. From there you can see all the monuments of Paris. A guide in the ship speaks about the history of the different monuments of Paris. It is very wonderful.
Paris is my favourite city to visit. I love Paris!

In “La Selva” there are a lot of markets and fairs but I will talk about the saint Tomás fair in Blanes.
The stops of the fair fill the "Passeig de Dintre" and the "Carrer Ample". To the "Passeig de Dintre", Parallel to the "Passeig de Mar",but inner, also does the dialy market of fruit and vegetables.
The fair of saint Tomás is on 21st of December every year, all day long to the "Passeig de dintre" and to the "Carrer Ample". In this fair you can find some 120 stops, mostly with products of products handiwork related with diet, but also objects of gift, toys and Christmas decoration.
Also you will find opened all the shops of the centre. If you go to the alimentary products, you can find nought candy, sweets, stuffings, chesses, a kind of cake and cakes, honey, kestnuts, mushrooms, wines and dig...
If you go to the presents section of gift, you will find, jewels, perfumes, winter clothes... In the toys stops you can find small gifts for "caga tió" and "fanals" to go to expect the Three Wise Men. If you go to the Christmas decoration you can find the mistletol, Christmas plants, "tions" and "pessebre" statues.
Also you can find half dozen of stops of entities of humanitarian character that collect money and food for needed families and associations of different illnesses that explains his task; and also listen to them and groups of students of schools and high schools that collect money for his end year trips .
It's interesting to know that some villages as Sopeira (Alta Ribagorça)or Casasilh (Vall d'Aran) still preserve the tradition of the saint Tomás Christmas fair, even Bacelona does her own in the Gran Via.
Before of the appearance of the fair of saint Tomàs, the "Blanencs" used to buy, the chicken, the "capó" and the turkey, that later they would kill at home to eat at the Christmas Day. Also they used to buy sweets and small gifts to do "cagar el tió".
The fair of saint Tomàs is known commonly as a "fira de les pilotes", owed to an ancient tradition of the boys of the village, that consisted in throwing a ball of the sice of an egg to another boy. It was made of leather, with clothes inside and with an elastic rubber tied to the hand that permit them to get it back.
