The snowfall

Wednesday, 23rd December, I was in Spain with my family, to spend Christmas's Day. That day we got up very early because it was snowing. It was amazing, because it rarely snows in my country. It was snowing all the day. At night, after dinner we wanted to go for a ride, when we opened the door and a lot of snow fell upon us. We were totally isolated, we couldn't go anywhere. We were closed in the hotel. At this time, I wanted to telephone the newspaper to explain what happened, but we didn't have coverage. So my husband took the camera and filmed me explaining what happened, because when we arrived home, I would write it in the newspaper.
When we were having dinner, we didn't hear any strange noise, so we went out normally when a lot of snow fell upon us. A group of people were having dinner like us, but the other were having dinner at a restaurant outside the hotel. The people were frightened, because we didn't have any electricity, we only had candles, but other people didn't know what happened because they were sleeping. The hotel workers tried to remove the snow but they couldn't.
There was a lot of snow.
Finally, after 5 hours isolated, a helicopter took us out and a truck tried to take out the snow to open the door. I was very scared but when I heard the helicopter landing I felt relieved. Now I'm at home, and I can say that I know what a strong snowfall is.

Robotic



Do you like this robot? I built it when I was 10 years old. Yes, I know, I was very young for having built it, but my father helped me.
Its name is Robotic, it is short, it is one meter long. Its face is a square. Look, on its head there are two antennas, it uses them to speak and to understand what we say. They are protected by a glass, so they don't break. It has got two yellow eyes. They are smaller than its mouth. Its mouth is very big. Above its eyes there are three buttons. The green button is for when it feels very well, the red button is for when it feels bad, and the yellow button is for when it feels find. Like this, we know how it feels. It has got two square ears, but it hasn't got a nose, so it can't smell. Its head is bigger than its body. It has got two arms, like a person, but very thin. Its legs are like its arms, thins. Its feet are bigger than its hands. It hasn't got fingers. Its body is like a triangle.
Do you know what? It studies like children. How? Easy, on its back, there is an empty rectangle. There, we put it books of the subject that it studies. For example, if it wants to study Maths, we put it a Maths book, we wait for half an hour and then, you can ask it something about Maths. He is going to answer the question. It is the most intelligent robot in the world, because there is a robot competition, Who is the most intelligent robot? last year we participated and we won. They gave it a dog robot. It was the happiest.
Robotic helps me to look after my brother, when my parents are not at home. It leads him to the park or to the cinema, what he wants.
A lot of people ask me if I sell him, I have been offered thousands of euros for him, but I won't sell it, because it's my friend.
