Search Warrant

When you have something hidden, you rather it stays that way, especially if it’s something that the police might find illegal or suspicious. While some people would stay calm , others would freak out when the police comes to your house with a search warrant which was my case. Even though I knew that what I had didn’t make me guilty , I didn’t want the police to find it because it certainly would make me seem guilty. A year ago, there had been a murder just outside my house and the people who did it left the murder weapon, a knife, in my doorstep. The issue is that I didn’t know about the murder since I was out on vacation when it happened. I found out a few months later when a neighbor told me. Of course, I realized that I had the knife in my house because I picked it up when I found it. Whereas someone else would have left it there , I was dumb enough to put my finger prints on it.   I thought it was weird that a knife was there, but I didn’t give it much thought. I didn’t hav...

Bowdlerized

I wonder if this is the weirdest topic I have ever written about but let’s start. A situation that might be outrageous to explain is when you want someone to help you cheat on a test. I know that almost everyone has cheated on a test , one way or another. I guess that in high school we were experts on cheating so we knew exactly how to do it. I had a friend that was really good at math and sometimes I used to ask her for help. I always tried to do it as gently as possible and trying to do something in exchange for her but of course, people always doubt it. The last exam that we took was the hardest. I studied a lot but either way I knew I needed extra help so I ask her to write the answers in a paper so she could pass it to me during the exam and then, I would help her in the English test which she knew she needed help as well. We were talking about where we should sit and then, we saw the teacher who was supposed to look after us during the test. The strategies which we were ...

Hello! Thinking of a word that I use a lot was very difficult, so I decided to ask my friends. They chose "mate" my most used word (N1 V N2x N3x)  and I consider it accurate (N1 V N2 Adj). Probably, they thought this word was the right one because I say it to them all the time (N1 V N2 to N3); that's how I called them. Now, changing the topic a bit, I would like to talk about a city I would love to visit someday. New York seems modern and full of culture (N LV Adj), and that's why I want to go there. From what I've read, I find NYC interesting and diverse (N1 V N2 Adj), so I believe there is a lot to see and do.  This city became the first place I would travel to (Nx Lv Nx)  when I saw pictures of the Grand Central Terminal, The Central Park and The Empire State Building. I guess, this is it for today. I hope you enjoy it

Awry

Two years ago, all my family was planning a surprise party for my grandma’s 85 th birthday. Everyone was excited, but nobody knew what was coming ahead. We got many people to help us prepare some of the things we needed to throw the party. We had my aunt bake a lot of bread and I helped my sister to decorate, we even made my cousin carry a lot of chairs and tables .     Each person made sure that what they did was perfect because we wanted our grandma to have the best birthday ever, yet neither of us imagined that she was going to get sick. She ended up in the hospital just the day before her birthday and spent three days in there, we were so sad and disappointed,  for we knew how badly she wanted a birthday party. Thankfully, she recovered, and we got to celebrate her 85 th birthday a few days later, not in the way we wanted but at least, she enjoyed it.

The Athlete

Hello there! During this opportunity I chose to write about a very well-known soccer player . He is Marco Asensio, Real Madrid’s star . Not only has he played in the most recognized team in the world , but he has also played for Spain’s National team since he was 15 years old.   He has had many accomplishments throughout his professional career including winning the Champions League 3 times in a row, clearly, he has been rewarded for both his daily training and his effort in the field . One of Asensio’s greatest abilities is that he can play either as a forward or as an attacking midfielder. Playing soccer is definitely his strongest suit and he has mention that is his biggest passion as well, but some people say that he is as good at playing basketball a s he is at playing soccer. There's no doubt that Marco, being so young , already has a bright future as a soccer player.
