.Book reviews.

A Christmas Carol

_The author of this book is Charles Dickens. This is a fantasy story which is about an old man who is called Ebenezer Scrooger. He hates Christmas day because he doesn't understand its meaning so three ghosts appear and they make Scrooge have one last chance for understanding Christmas.
_It is not very difficult to read, it is for an intermediate level of English and it has a final message.

The Time Machine

_This is a science fiction story which was written by H. G. Wells, which is about a time traveller that has ridden his machine hundreds of thousands of years into the future. He saw all the cities falling down before his eyes. Then, the future seems safe but an inhabitant of the Underworld hunted the time traveller and captured the time machine so he must search for an exit to go back to his present with his time machine.
_This is also an easy story to read because it is for an intermediate level.

Conclusion

_Both books are very interesting but in my opinion I recommend the first story because it has a final message to think about.

ºOo.Easter.Day.oOº

In my city, we used to celebrate this day in different ways:

· Some people tend to go to churches on holy week.

· Others make a big dinner for the Easter Day with all their relatives, but there are a prohibition, that on the Holy Thursday and on the Good Friday and Saturday nobody must eat meat.
However, others make a Easter pie for this day.

· Also, people used to give chocolate eggs and bunnies like a present.

· Sometimes, kids used to paint and draw eggs with a lot of colours.

· Finally, one option in this festivity is do a riffle in shops or at schools where the winner recieve a big chocolate egg or a basket with some food or sweets.
