Sleep Hollow

Summary:


In the early United States of America, young policeman Ichabod Crane is sent to from New York to the fledgling settlement of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of ghoulish murders. On his arrival, the town council informs him that the three victims were killed in open ground, and the heads had disappeared - taken by a headless ghost that is supposedly responsible. Ichabod is unconvinced of this, but learns more about the ghostly horseman - it is the ghost of a Hessian sent by the British during the revolutionary war, and he was caught by redcoats and decapitated with his own sword. When Ichabod sees the ghost kill one of the town council members, his skepticism evaporates - and he soon discovers that the horseman's ghost has an unholy connection to Balthus Van Tassel, a wealthy farmer - and whose daughter Ichabod is falling in love with...

An informal email

Hi friend!

How are you? What have you been doing since I say you last? You don’t believe it, but I spent almost the whole summer doing a premonition summer school!

I did it last year, but only in September and I must admit that at first I was a little lazy but I decided to go anyway. I took the opportunity because at Easter, I did the course to train me. Every day I wake up at eight in the morning to be there at a quarter to nine. At first it took me a little, but I ended up getting used to it because it was worth it. In June and July, we were two pre-monitors and two monitors, and many children! I learned a lot from them: how to play, talk ... the truth is that they were very innocent and I admire them. In September we were three pre-monitors and three monitors because there were many children.
I also learned monitors its maturity and training.
Basically, going there to have fun and also learned a lot.

Has that ever happened to you? I mean, you had never learned so many things that make you  change the perception of your mind? I never had happened to me until this summer!

Anyway, I'm hoping to be back next summer to repeat it!

Take care,

Núria

What makes a good friend for you?

A good friend for me is supportive when I feel down, outgoing with me, optimistic and 

responsible when I need them.

Describe a time when you made a new friend. What were you doing when you met 

him/her? What was your new friend like?

I meet my friend Ilona three years ago while I was in Scenic Art summer school.

In there, we were with groups, and she was to mine.

As we are almost of the same age and all the others were smaller, got along immediately.

She is very nice. Always it has a smiles.

Up to now we have been together to the classes of theatre. The truth is that she is a person 

I will always trust. 

MY LAST SUMMER

Hi, today I'm going to talk about my last summer. First, I'm going to

talk about my June and my July, second about my August, and finally about my September.

Well, when I finished the school classes, I had a weekend of relax in my home, because in the following Monday I started doing the premonitor in a summer school, every day.

In July, I did the same in a summer school. My week was waking up at eight in the morning to be at 9 am in the summer school. I was there all day at until half past five in the afternoon, and then go home to rest.
But at the end of July I went for a week in the Basque Country with my family. There we enjoyed the wonderful views, although the weather was not the best.

In August, I relaxed a lot and I studied for the September exam. Also I was helping my father in the office every day and learning. This does not mean that I did very well.
I went four days in Urda, a small town an hour from Toledo, and to dance with the Esbart. I had a lot of fan, as usual,
Apart from that, August was a month of new experiences, like when I went with my friends at a water park because I had never been there and although I did not like the attractions rides I had a good time.

Finally, in September, I had the exam, and then I ended up enjoying the holidays.
I made a premonitory summer school again. It made me very sad to say goodbye to the children.
On the day of Catalonia, I went to Barcelona with my Esbart friends.
Also, during the summer I did not stop dancing I went to train because we had many performances.

And now we have already started classes...

OK, this is my oral presentation, thank you for listening!

I love English - Comments

Hi World!

The first two pages speak different curiosities in October: birthdays, events and books. What I liked most was the national day of caramel apple, because my favorite topping is the caramel.

Cinema

In movie pages, speaks five films: Hotel Transylvania 2, Everest Pan, Straight Outta Compton and Tomorrowland. The latter, I went to see a few months ago and loved it, as almost all the films of Disney.

Music

Here we talk about Carly Rae Jepsen, a singer in his beginning I liked, with the single "call me maybe" but now I have finished tired. It also speaks of OMI. I think never, or almost never had heard of this singer, so I can not say anything.

Times Square

The truth is that New York is a city where everyone wants to go there someday. So I have nothing more to comment on Times Square, which is a place that I love and I hope to visit it someday with my own eyes.

Happy Birthday Youtube!

YouTube is a website where I'm almost the whole afternoon, I never tire of seeing his videos. In these pages appears one of my favorite YouTubers, Zoella. She is from England and explains their daily lives, tips, ... and the truth is that I learn enough English!
