There are a lot of festivals that are held in Los
Angeles during the year, but I’m going to talk about my favourite one, which is
The Cinco De Mayo Festival.
Cinco De Mayo festival commemorates the Mexican
victory against the French forces on May 5th, 1862. The first people who
celebrated this festival were a group of Mexican-Americans and Latinos who
lived in California.
The most amazing events of Cinco de Mayo are are held
in L.A, like the Fiesta Broadway or a mile-strong street fair in Downtown L.A.
, where there are Mexican music, that combines salsa music and folkloric
dancers, games and cuisine.
I think that it is the best festival that takes place
in L.A, because you can have an amazing time by watching the all the people
enjoying that day.
Two years ago I went to Las Vegas on a journey with my best friend
Carla.
We chose Las Vegas because it is an amazing place
apart of being the capital of entertainment in the world , after finishing our
studies what we needed was a lot of fun. We knew it wouldn’t disappoint us.
The first thing we visited were the incredible
Casinos. We were impressed, they are everything we expected and have been told,
and more. The lights, the sounds, the colors…
We also visited the luxury hotels, which are
impressive. We didn’t stay in one
because we couldn’t afford it so we lodged in a youth hostel.
We also did sightseeing visiting the most important
streets there in Las Vegas. These are The Strip and Fremont Street where we
went shopping and we ate in some fantastic luxury restaurants. You can also eat fast food, there are many
locations where we got a pizza or some
hamburgers.
There is no need to talk about what we did at night
because obviously the Casinos and luxury hotels offered us entertainment at all
like dancing at discos or pubs, gambling, meeting new people there…
In general, we loved Las Vegas, we had so much fun, it
is a nice place to escape when you have some free time and it is that much that
we expect to go again soon!

NEW YEAR’S
CELEBRATION IN LAS VEGAS
New
year’s celebration in Las Vegas is as surprising as it is Las Vegas in fact. If
you are looking for a quiet place to spend the last days of the year, don’t
think of Las Vegas. But if you feel like
having fun, go crazy, enjoying, celebrities around and hundreds of crazy people
expecting to have fun as much as you, Las Vegas is your place.
On
31 December night the entire Strip Street of Las Vegas shut down traffic and it turns into celebration place
where thousands of people go to, It
becomes like a hutch crowd parting outdoor. At midnight some amazing fireworks
are fired! If you prefer closed places, you can go to clubs or disco nights,
there are full of stars and partygoers.
You will absolutely get amuses! You should
have thought of it this year .
Tokyo is well known of its incredible culture and food but in this presentation I will only talk about its most visited place. In a near future if I have the chance I will talk more about its culture.
Writing
Last month I went on a school trip to Tokyo with my classmates. I was impressed because I had always wanted to go there. We arrived at night and we checked in the hotel.
The next day we visited the Imperial Palace and the Ueno Park. During the evening we had dinner on a restaurant on th Omotesando Hills District and then we returned to the hotel.
I never imagined that the next day was going to be the worst of all. Qfter having breakfast, we decided to visit Mount Fuji. We took the train to Subashiri. When we arrived, our Tour Guide, Hideyoshi told us about the past of the mountain. Then we entered the forest. We split up. Our group decided to go back to the the station but we never reached it. Then we realized that we were lost.
We stayed on the forst during the rest of the day. We also slept there. I woke up in the morning. We were hhungry. We decided to try it again. We failed again. That day we couldn't sleep. We felt that something was stalking us so we decided to move to another place. In our way I hurt my arm because I had slipped.
The next day the police found us on the Wood and rescued us. I was taken to the hospital. Later, we returned to the hotel. As Hideyoshi told us, wer were lucky to return to the city again because a lot of tourists who had been lost commited suicide.
The trip ended happily. We returned to Tetuan and our lives started its routine again but I will never forget Hideyoshi's words.
Shougatsu (New Year)
Shougatsu (New Year) is the most important celebration in the japanese culture. Shougatsu is celebrated during the fourth first January days.
Shougatsu was a national celebration since a lot of time. At first it coincided with the chinese calendar but since 1873 the date of the celebration was adjusted to the gregorian calendar. During the days before the celebration, people do a thorough cleaning of the house to purify it and prepare it for the upcoming year. People usually prepare typical food. It is also typical to decorate the house with traditional furniture.
For years japanese people celebrate this important celebration. It is the costum to have dinner with the family. Shougatsu is for japanese as important as Christmas is for christians.
