82 national Olympic committees were able to provide athletes for Vancouver Olympics, surpassing the mark set in 2006 with 80 countries. In these games, Colombia, Ghana, Cayman Islands, Pakistan and Peru participated for the first time, while Montenegro and Serbia sent its first teams as independent nations after the end of its unified team.

BYE LARRAITZ!!

This person that is call Larraitz, it's the best teacher that we have got it ever. Because she helps to everyone and it's a very nice teacher and we learnt a lot of things about English and we improved a lot in English and we have all improved as a person because of you. Besides, you give us a fantastic time we never forget you. Thanks for all you done this days with us and we promise that we're going to be good as students with the next teacher and We'd love to come and give us a visit.

THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM. An amazing building made of titanium and limestone.

This time we have to work on some popular sites in the Basque Country. I chose the Guggenheim museum .

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a contemporary art museum designed by Canadian architect Frank O.
Gehry, located in Bilbao, Basque Country.
The museum
was opened in 1997 and includes houses, art exhibitions of works and other exhibits.
The museum does not contain a single flat surface in the whole structure.
Part of the building is crossed by an elevated bridge and the exterior is coated with titanium plates and a limestone that was very difficult to find. This limestone is exactly the same to the one used to build the University of Deusto, which is situated just in front of the museum.
The facades of the blocks are straight metal, and its windows are rectangular. Some of the walls are painted in bright colours .After these blocks there is a small square that leads to the main entrance, and in this open space we can find a sculpture: "Puppy" by Jeff Koons. This is a huge dog made of flowers. Puppy was initially set up as a temporary exhibition, but they finally decided to make it permanent.

I hope you like my new article about this famous museum.I recommended it because it's amazing how the art came be so important for the society of nowadays because of that I love it.

CHRISTMAS IN USA AND IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY

The United States And the Basque Country are thousands of miles apart. They have very little in common: a different language, different customs and different traditions. But how different is the way we each celebrate Christmas?
In the United States celebrating Christmas means putting their socks in the fireplace whereas in the Basque Country we put our shoes under the Christmas tree. However, the Americans and the Basques have something in common: the Christmas tree. As you know, this tree is the symbol of Christmas because in many countries they are decorated with balls and colorful lights. Do you know that the New York's tree has 30.000 balls? It's amazing!


Concerning  dinner, in our country it's typical to eat fish and meat in Christmas, whereas in USA they eat turkey and potatoes.
Speaking' about the new year, do you know how they celebrate it in USA?

In New York for instance, there are spectacular displays of fireworks and  big multitudinous celebrations  in major cities like New York, where hundreds of thousands of people pack Times Square on 31 December at midnight for the count down. On 1 January it is a holiday and major parades in some cities are held, like the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. However, in the Basque Country we celebrate the new year eating 12 grapes and then we have a fantastic time drinking with friends in night. 


Regarding the famous character that gives presents to children, In USA they have the famous Santa Claus who lives in the North Pole with his wife Mrs. Claus whereas in the basque Country we have the great Olentzero who lives in the mountains with his friend donkey Prontsio.

To conclude, I wish you a mery Christmass and an happy New Year!!!!!!

What are the two inventions that have contributed most to make our lives easier?

Hello readers!

This time we have been asked to make another description of two inventions that are very important in our lives. In my life all inventions are important but I have chosen the electricity and the television.

Electricity:

Inventions are all very important but for me one of the inventions that we use very much is the electricity


because it is used for many things, like cooking and other things as a wacth Tv. For me, electricity is very important because we use every day, and without electricity we could not live. Electricity was invented by Benjamin Franklin in the 18 century. He conducted extensive research in electricity, selling his possessions to fund his work.



Television:

The other invention that I will explain to you is the television. The Television was invented in 1926 by John Logie Baird, a British physicist. The first television transmission was achieved in the decade of the 20.There

are different types of television:
-Black and white TV: The screen shows only black and white images.
-Colour television: the screen is suitable for displaying colour images.
TV screen:
-LCD:flat, liquid crystal display.
-Plasma string TV: level, this technology is usually used for larger formats.
-High Definition TV or HDTV:Used in large formats and HD technology.

Television is very important to me because I use this a lot every day and I think for other people is also very important because we use much. I use very much because there are many television series that I like, especially watch Fama.

I hope that you like it!
bye-bye!
