MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER

By Martí, 2nd E

My great grandmother’s name was Maria.She was born on 19th of May in 1919.

When my great grandmother went to school, they only learnt basic knowledge. At the same
time, around the age of seven years old, she also did all the housework.It was a very big
country house, and although she had six brothers and sisters more, she had to do all the
work because she was the oldest.

When Maria was seventeen the Spanish Civil War started. During this period, she met my
great grandfather and they fell in love. Miquel my great grandfather was a deserter because
he didn’t fight in the Civil War. That’s why he went to live to the Rocacorba mountains, near
my great grandmother’s house, where at night he went to search food and clean clothes.

In 1939 the Civil War ended and in 1940 they got married. They had their first son 1940 in
Girona and the second child that was a girl in 1946. This newborn girl was my grandmother
Montserrat.

They moved to Blanes in 1960 because Miquel found job in a barber shop, and his son also
found a job, in this case as a building worker. When they arrived at Blanes, luckily my great
grandmother found a job too, in a hotel as a supervisor and her daughter started to work as a
housekeeper.

In 1967, their son got married, and a year later their daughter too. From 1969 to 1977 Maria
became grandmother six times and my mother was one of them.

When my great grandmother was seventy-five, she retired. She had eleven great grandchildren,
the two oldest ones were born in 1996 and the youngest was born in 2009 and last year was
born another one.

Her husband died in 2006, just when I was born, although one year before they lost her daughter.
My great grandmother lived a very long life. She died in 2015, when she was ninety-five.
This year would be 100 years old.

My grandfather

By Hajar, 2nd B

Hello, today I will talk about my grandfather who died.

My grandfather was born in Tanger, Morocco and he was born on 17th September in 1943.

My grandfather was very funny and enjoyable.

He used to explain scary stories to us.

He had a long beard and he had a small mouth was

also very tall.

My grandfather got married when he was 28 years

old to a woman, that is my grandmother.

My grandmother died too and I didn’t meet her.

They had two daughters and seven sons.

And one of them is my father.

He was very old and last year in 2018 he died,

because he was born in 1943 and he was 75

years old, but it was also because he had an illness.

But more than illness it was because one day he fell and his

foot broke and he was getting worse and that is why he died.
