ResponderEliminarA lot of people are talking that we might be confined again as the number of cases is rising.
ResponderEliminarThe government in Spain and in many places have alerted everyone that masks have to be compulsory all over the world to protect us because it is most likely that we will be confined until the virus goes down, even if we have the vaccines it is very important to have the masks.

Winter solstice refers to the day with the longest night of the year. It is also the first day of the winter. Winter solstice is usually on the 21st or 22nd of December. From that day, days will be longer and longer until the Summer Solstice.
ResponderEliminarA few days after the winter solstice we have Christmas, and many people visit their family as many people is on holidays. It is common to see awesome Christmas trees and to eat typical desserts.
Christmas is also special because we buy presents to our family and we also receive presents from santa claus. Usually children put a glass of milk and something to eat for Santa Claus and the reindeers before going to sleep, as they have to be asleep when santa claus arrives to their home.
Personally, I don't like winter because I don't like cold weather and short days. However, I love Christmas! It's the only time of the year in which I can have dinner with most of my family as I have such a big family! In addition, I love seeing my younger cousins opening their presents. I also got a present this Christmas, but this time I bought the present with a little help of my parents. I got a nintendo switch for which I've been saving money since February and my parents bought me a remake of a pokémon game that I used to play 11 years ago! I'm sure I'll play this game for lots of hours because I sometimes still play the original game.
Winter is one of my favorite seasons of the year after summer. I think it is obvious that most children our age prefer summer because there is no school, because of the beach, the pool ... But I am sure that if there were a school in summer, winter would become the preferred season for many.
ResponderEliminarI believe that the illusion of Christmas is insurmountable, the family, the gifts, the joy of the children, the joy of the grandparents to see their happy grandchildren, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve ... As much as I like the summer, the illusion that I have for Christmas the beach or the pool will not overcome it, the joy of seeing your family happy, of meeting them, the parties, the friends, I think it is not about illusion, it is about magic, the Christmas magic.
I have to admit that when you are little you live Christmas much more. I remember being 8 years old and not sleeping anything at kings night, get up at 7 and run to call my brother, go down stairs very quickly and scream when we saw the Christmas gifts around the tree, making my parents woke up and came down to open them with us. We continue doing the same now but I think we lack the illusion of when you are little. Still I have to admit that it is the best time of the year.
Today there are many parents who tell their children that kings do not exist too soon, I think that this secret is something super nice that should be extended as long as possible.

Since 21st December we have been in winter. I didn't use to like winter but now I love it because I really like winter clothes and the rainy days, staying at home doing nothing only watching films.
ResponderEliminarDuring winter we can do many things that in other seasons we can´t, like skiing, ice skating, going to the mountains to see the snow, etc.. Furthermore, in winter it is Christmas time and I really like it because I spend much time with my friends and my family and we are on holidays.
What is winter solstice? Winter solstice marks the first day of winter in that part of the world and the year´s shortest day and longest night.
To sum up, I think winter is a season where you can do many things with your relatives and friends and have a good time with them. I love winter, so I'll enjoy it a lot.

The winter solstice starts from 21st or 22nd of December, the winter solstice refers to the difference in the length of day and night, as there are more hours of darkness. The winter solstice is days before Christmas.
ResponderEliminarDays after the winter solstice occurs, Christmas begins, a time when many families get together, many gifts are opened as Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men arrive, at this time all the streets and houses are decorated with lights, figures After Christmas, the tree is up ... It is one of the best times of the year.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year, since I love to walk through the decorated streets, see all the lights, see some people who dress up and do shows ... Another thing that I like is the Three Kings because I love to see my brothers or cousins happily opening their gifts.
Finally, I believe that Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year. The bad thing about Christmas is that it is very cold. Although this Christmas I have been able to go out little due to the Covid, I hope that next year we will be better and we can go everywhere.
The winter solstice marks the first day of winter, the shortest day and longest night of the year; the winter solstice is usually December 21 or 22. From that day on, the days will get longer and longer until the summer solstice. There are two solstices: the winter and the summer.
ResponderEliminarAfter the winter soltice we have the Christmas holidays, I like Christmas because I get together with my family, with my friends, we are going to see the lights together ...
I also like Christmas because of the gifts that we buy for our relatives and for those that we receive from them.
On Christmas Eve, my family got together and we all had dinner together.
Before, when I was little, I lived Christmas with more enthusiasm. On the night of the 24th, my sister and I prepared a glass of milk and some cookies and left them under the pine tree for Santa Claus and the reindeer. We hardly slept at all and early in the morning I would call my sister and we would open the presents together, and we would call my cousins to show us the presents.
Although they keep putting gifts under the pine tree, but we don't have the same illusion as before.
In my opinion, I don't like winter, because it gets dark earlier and I don't like the cold, but on the other hand I like it because you can do many things such as skiing, hiking to the mountains to see the snow, on Christmas holidays spending the family time..
I prefer summer since it is a time to disconnect from studies, be relaxed and enjoy the beach, the pool, friends ...
The winter solstice refers to the longest night of the year, this night happens on the night of December 21 to 22 in the northern hemisphere and on the night of 20 to 21 in the southern hemisphere, after tonight the nights will be shorter until the summer solstice which is the longest day of the year.
ResponderEliminarThis day gives way to Christmas which is a holiday season for most people, winter is already noticeable in the environment, with hail in some parts of Spain, with the great drop in temperatures, which makes many have to go out already very warm so as not to catch a cold.
This Christmas we must be careful, since many people who live far from their family use it to return home, and with the issue of the pandemic we must be very careful not to infect our loved ones, at Christmas many people They take the opportunity to go out partying but this is very dangerous since there is a rise in infections that are too large and without stopping.
Although you have to be careful you also have to have fun and get out of the way to be able to start with strength next year, which apparently is going to be a pretty tough year, so this Christmas you have to see it as a method of rest and reflection to do better. things the following year.
Winter solstice is the longest night of the year. I think that the worst season of the year for
ResponderEliminarme is winter. In winter the days are very short, it’s usually at night at 18:00 o’clock and it’s cold.
But one of the things that I love about winter is Christmas, it’s very important for me because it’s the only time in the year that we all eat together.
Christmas is very important for all kids, they are usually excited because Papa Noel is coming. Another thing that I love about winter is the rainy days becauses these days I can be watching movies and series all day.
In my opinion summer is the best season of the year because I don't have school, I can go to the beach with my friends etc.
This summer has been very strange because I got the Covid and I was 14 days in my bedroom.
I hope that Covid finished so we can enjoy summer and christmas. Jose Adrián González Rodríguez 1A Bach
The winter solstice is when every hemisfer of the Earth gets cold, this happens because the winter is the time of year that the Earth is most remite to the Sun. The winter solstice is the most short day and long night(this night has between ten and seventeen hours)

In my opinion winter is the worst season of the year. I hate having to go to school so cold, I don't like the rain either, it gets dark very early, you have to wear a lot of clothes so as not to freeze... Quite the opposite of summer. In summer you spend all day with your friends, at the beach or pool, having a good time.
ResponderEliminarThe only good thing about winter is Christmas. Being with your family all together on days like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, that makes Christmas have that magic and so much happiness. I love buying gifts for my family, and they don't have to be expensive because a simple detail makes them happy.
Christmas is more fun for the little ones since they get up to open gifts with great enthusiasm, when you are older you no longer live it that way, but if you have small children in your family, you like to see how they enjoy opening gifts. The worst is when your parents tell you that Santa Claus and the wise men do not exist.
Christmas teaches you that the best thing we have in our lives and what we have to take care of the most is our family.

A few days ago I saw on television that a referee had surpassed a goal.
ResponderEliminarThat goal was to recover because his hand was amputated for cancer.
When I saw that I was shocked because I had never seen a referee amputate his hand, for him it is very complicated in his day to day but gradually gets used.
