The big mistake - Julián Palladino 4 Info B (correction)

I had slammed the doors and dashed into the room: 'Sorry I'm late, I came as fast I could, I'm sorry' - I said while I was searching for a seat, the place was too cramped!
When I found a place to sit, I whispered to a man next to me:
-'Sorry, what did I miss?'
-'Shhh!, quiet!'- he answered, what a grumpy!
Professor Farnsworth continued: 'As I was saying, since Einstein revolutionized the Physics, all scientists on all over the world have searched for the new formula of kinetic energy' – After saying this, he sighed. A tear went down his cheek and when a few seconds passed, he proceeded: 'Yesterday our group of scientists revealed the mystery! We can now travel through time and space, the new order of Physics has begun!'
Everybody in the room was clapping to the great discovery while the professor was strolling to a big machine in a corner of the auditorium.
-‘Quiet, please!’ - he shouted- 'this machine doesn’t look gorgeous at all, but it can make people travel through time and space, we’ve never tried it so this will be its first use, wish me luck’- And before he could enter in the machine, a strange man appeared and yelled:
-‘Idiot! You are making a big mistake!’
-‘Oh, that’s really useless! You are not going to stop me! ‘
And at that moment I understood that that he was really making a big mistake, so I took the machine and ran away to avoid its usage.
That was the last time he ever saw them.

Lulinha, who was Kardec best friend, was playing for the Santos Football Club (S.F.C.) in Brazil. He had met his best friend when they were playing in S.F.C. and they saw each other almost all the day. But one day Kardec received an offer from his favorite club, Vasco Da Gama. He accepted the offer and left his best friend and his club.

Although Kardec went away from his ex-club he never abandoned his best friend. Lulinha and Kardec always continued to have an excellent friendship; when they were not playing football they were together doing something.

The year after Kardec left S.F.C. Lulinha and Kardec played together for Brazil on the Sub20 World Cup. That championship made the closeness between the two friends stronger. The entire world was talking about those two young players that were playing excellently together for Brazil; of course Brazil won that Cup.

When Lulinha went back to Brazil he received a horrible and at the same time excellent piece of news… The F.C. Manchester United wanted that Lulinha joined them. He couldn’t reject that offer so the day before he signed for the British club he went to Kardec’s house and said to him: - ‘I hope to see you playing for an important club my friend, if not, you will always be in my hearth as the best friend I have ever had’- And that was the last time he ever saw him.

That was the last time he ever saw them

Jacob had always liked sports. He was the most popular football player in the whole high school. He trained three times a week and had a match every Saturday. He had won many prices with his team.

He was a very healthy teenager; Jacob only ate vegetables and some meat twice a week. Every morning, he woke up at 6.00 a.m. to exercise.

One morning, while he was running at the park, he met a group of people drinking alcohol and smoking weed.

´Hey, you! Come and join us! ´ said the one who seemed to be leading the group.

´Sorry, I can’t. I wont do that, it’s bad for my health, and so it’s for yours.’ answered Jacob, ‘Haven’t you ever thought about your future? That’s self-destruction!’ he added. He received no answer, so he went on.



The day after, a rainy, sad winter day, he woke up and started his every day exercise.

The street was deserted, except for a filthy corner of the park where the gang was waiting for him.

‘Hey you!’ one of the guys said, ‘Come here, don’t be boring! Nothing wrong will happen’

Jacob was incredibly scared, but, because of the shock, he just accepted...

He started walking with them, and with no argument, they started to hit him. He was almost dead when he heard some shouts and some strange and strong noises that seemed to be gun shots. When he woke up he found himself at the hospital. Three months had passed since his accident, but when he was fully recovered, he went again to exercise to the park, trying not to lose that good habit.

The days passed and nobody of the gang appeared. It was a mystery for him what were those gunshots and shouts he had heard, but the good news were that that was the last time he ever saw them.

The Kindergarden

This story happened in a kinder garden from the North of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was a spacious place with a lot of little children who were happy to be there. But not every children were happy, at least one, Juán, was very sad each time he went in there.
I’m going to tell you about the story which made Juán don’t enjoy being in the kindergarden.
It started when he was only three years old, he was in the class with Ana, a beautiful girl, with a long blond hair, and since that moment, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
They got in love each other, but they don’t want their classmates to know about their love. Only they knew it, but once, when they were together, the teacher realized that they were in love. They had never been discovered when they were together, and they were frightened when the teacher saw them Juan didn’t know how to explain the teacher that what they were doing wasn’t that she believed, he said he was helping Ana with maths, but the teacher knew he was lying because Juan was bad at maths and Ana was much better.
Unfortunately for Juan and Ana, their teacher told their parents about their love, and Ana’s father decided to take her to another school, because he didn’t want her to get in love when she was too young.
That was the last time Juan ever saw her.

St. Book p.93 Ex 8. Writing (short version) 4 Info "B"

I realised that the story I wrote was longer than 200-250 words, so I made a shorter version:

Annie used to watch “Friends” everyday at 8:00 PM in her youth. That used to cause problems in her life. For example, one day her family had dinner early: she didn’t go to eat that day, it was Ross’ second wedding!
The day her little brother, Lucas, was born, was a complete disaster: she was nine, Monica and Chandler where getting married, and she would not miss it for anything in the world. She cried, and yelled, but it was useless, they couldn’t leave her alone. At the end, she saw it in the hospital T.V. I remember seeing her tears. I’m sure they were of happiness, but I’m not sure if they were because of Lucas, or because of Chandler, that was getting married.
With the invention and use of the Internet, and of the series’ illegal downloads, Annie got very happy: she could see the chapters the same day they were released in USA! Everyday she dashed into her computer to check if there was a new chapter and grinned if that happened!
Anyway, she finally grew up and stopped watching the sitcom.
One day, she was walking down the street with her friends, when she saw a poster. It said: “Friends: The Movie. soon in Cinemax”
The sitcom had ended years ago, on her 12-year-old birthday. She was sixteen when she saw the poster, but she promised herself she would watch it, and she did.

When she walked out of the cinema, she was really struck: it had been SO boring! She couldn’t believe this was her favourite sitcom when she was little.
One of her friends that had been to the movies with her thought : “How much the people can change when they grow up.”
A sequel was announced, with the same characters, but Annie never saw it. That day was the last time she ever saw them.

Crimson

Gregory Holfang was called “crimson" for mysterious motives. He always used to go to Nitson Park at night. Nobody knew what he did there but Maria told me that one day she heard a terrifying whisper in the Park. The whisper said “hont…hont…hont…” or something like that. “It was horrible - she said - but although I thought I was going to die I felt I needed to find the exact place where the voice came from. I have always liked mysteries. I think it’s related to Crimson.” Since I met Maria she hasn’t changed and I have always looked after her as my little sister, although she is much older than me.

On 17th March, Maria told me that she wanted to go to Nitson Park at night in order to solve the mystery. “Are you crazy?!” I asked her. I was starting to get nervous. “Let’s think clearly, shall we? You have an elder brother, don’t you? He is a policeman, isn’t he?” I stopped to have a rest. “I’m speaking seriously. I think that the best idea is to say to your brother that he should inspect that park and inform us about the situation.” Miraculously, Maria accepted my suggestion. On 27th March, Sergeant Iair Benetaz went to inspect Nitson Park but first he went to Mernick hospital where we and Crimson worked. While Iair and Maria were talking Crimson suddenly passed and looked at them strangely. Then Iair left and at night he went to the park. That was the last time she ever saw them.

The tree in the forest

Once upon a time in a hidden village in Europe there was a special place in the forest where the people who entered were never seen again.

Nobody was allowed to go there including the king. The king was an extremely bad person. Sometimes, when he was in a bad mood, he took anybody from the village to the forest and that person disappeared for ever.

One day the king told everyone: -“The one who entered to the forest and told me what is the cause of why people disappear will be rewarded with 1.000.000 pounds”

What the king was asking, was a very difficult mission, and because of it, everyone in the village go to the forest to do it, and if they die, that was a favor for all because, as it was told, the king was an extremely bad person who do bad things to people.

Next day it was said, all the people of the village go to the forest. They entered and walked there, giving rounds and rounds. But after two hours, a boy called John arrived to king’s castle. He told to the king that when they were walking, the found a special tree. This tree was very big, bigger than other trees. And this tree got a door opened, and a circle round it, which was illuminated. All the people entered in the circle, except him. All of them, just when they entered in the circle, were dragged to the door of the tree, and when they entered there, they were disappeared at the moment. After that, he got scared and ran to king’s castle to tell to the king all he had seen. And that was the last time he ever saw all of them.
