Thanksgiving

First at all, I have to say that I am a very lucky girl.

I am thankful for being healthy and having a wonderful family. They support me and help me every time I need it. I love them very much!

I am also thankful for having fantastic friends. They are cheerful, honest, reliable and sympathetic. I enjoy a lot with them because they always make me laugh.

Finally, I want to give thanks to all my teachers. They have taught me that with a persistent attitude we can get anything we want.

My favourite film

Last summer I went to the cinema with some friends and we watched a terror film called 'Expediente Warren'. The film was about two paranormal investigators. They worked to help a family frightened about a dark presence in their new house.

At the end we were very scared but we like this kind of films, so I enjoyed a lot!

Poppy Day

Each year in November, thousands of veterans hit the streets of the Capital for London Poppy Day. A national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. Here is where the Queen lays the first wreath at the Cenotaph:

The poppy reminds us of sacrifices made – both past and present.

Poppies were the first flowers that grew in the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium during World War One and are a symbol of remembrance and hope.

Bonfire Night

These days we are searching for original information about Bonfire Night, celebrated the 5th of November.
