Trinity tasks correction

                                                             The new Allsop teacher
With the new teacher, Michael Wilson, the rules have changed a lot. When the teacher goes to class the students have to make a line to enter  the class, if they come with the wrong shoes he sends them home, they have to come with the school uniform, they can't go out to eat at a fast food places and if they don't complete their homework they have to stay after class. The new teacher has changed some things to make the school more beautiful and technological changes. The building now looks brand new and the students behaviour is better than before. This school in my opinion is very strict in appearance and apparent ways of punishment. If someone asked me if I would like to go to the school I would say yes, because I like the rules.

How to plan the perfect party

Well today Im going to teach you how to throw a good party. To throw a good party you need to invite a lot of people because some people may not come, have food, things to drink, music and a big place to dance. Most of the parties are not succesful,  because they don't have much people or they don't have the best music or they don't give the correct information to the guests, that can cause a bad party or less people will go. I like all types of parties because in all types you can dance, enjoy, meet people and have fun with a lot of good friends.

                                        The best surprise party:

Last month I decided to organise a surprise party for my best friend Pedro Villanova, I decided to do it because I had time and I used the vacation time to do it. The only thing that I needed to throw it was my friends help, music and some food.
The party was exciting because we all had a good time, so the girls had a good time with Pedro and he got a lot of surprises and gifts. My friends congratulate me for the good party and all had a good time so some friends  said to me that it was the best party of this vacation.

3rd task revision

My trip to the south of Chile.

Last year I visited the south of Chile with all the 7th greaders of the Mackay. This place was very beautiful and it is a good idea to go there. It had a lot of Chilean culture. I met a lot of people like all the hotel receptionists and some people from the shops  and when we went to the "Jardin de Lota" I met a special kid named Francisca. She was a girl that I gave some gifts to and helped her with some things. I helped her because she didin't have much money to buy things.
Lota is very beautiful and if I have the opportunity, I will go again.
