4ESOE

died. He was alone in the world. Suddenly, he heard shots and he had to escape so that he wouldn’t be caught by the American soldiers. Three distressing months later he was in Paris. He was looking for work. Finally he got a job in a fruit company called Apple, but beginnings were not easy. He didn’t find a flat and he lived in inhuman conditions for two weeks. In September he found a small flat in a Jewish neighbourhood, although he didn’t like it because there was some damp and there were a lot of rats. He lived in it until January. Finally he resigned from his post and travelled to Cyprus where there were more Muslims than Christians. He thought people there would treat him better than Parisians. Around the middle of January he started to study in a public high school. He was the best in Maths and Biology but he failed English. In March a scientist found petroleum on the Cypriot coast. Cyprus wanted to control the petroleum and then they declared war to Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, United States of America, England and Germany because these countries hoped to control it too. So Mohamed went into exile to Afghanistan. The radical Muslims controlled the country and the arms were the only way to communicate. Mohamed started to work in a hospital. He cleaned the hospital and he helped doctors in special occasions. In June he was arrested by radicals. His crime was having helped to reconstruct the country. In July a jury condemned him to a thousand years in prison. In August he started to plan a escape. The plan was simple.

Mrs. Wood's was one of most famous orphanages in London.

The building was old and had got three floors. To get inside you had to go up some stairs.

There was a hall with very clean white floor tiles. Mrs. Wood met the visitors in a small study and she met the child too. The study had small but welcoming furniture.

On the basement there was a larder, a boiler and a gardener's tools.

On the first floor there was a kitchen and a dining room. The cook was Mrs. Adam. She was about 50 and had white hair, but she always wore a cook's hat. Her eyes were green and round, with good-natured look. The children loved her a lot.

On the second floor, there were the rooms, the bathroom and the classes. Every room had got six bunks. The lights went out at nine o'clock at night and at seven o'clock in the morning the children had to stay at the dining-room. At eight o'oclock the classes started. Their teacher was Mr. Philips. He was an horrible person because he punished everybody.

On the third floor there was an attic, but the children and Mrs. Adam weren't allowed to go in, only Mrs. Wood and Mr. Philips could.

One day, two sisters carried a girl of about 6, she was an orphan...

There was a child called Dusty. He had blue eyes and blond hair, and he was always happy and telling jokes too. He had a lot of friends in the school, and he enjoyed a lot with them. He was always with them, and he played with them everywhere, at school, in the street... All in his life was good, but a problem came out. His mother was very ill and he had to look after her. The doctor talked with him, and he talked to Dusty about his life. He told him she was very bad, and probably in one year his mother would die. He was with his mother all the time, and he forgot his friends. They were very sad because he was always happy, but now he was very sad. The days pased by and he didn’t go to school, and his friends supported him. One day, he met a girl. She was a very good, beautiful girl. There were going out together, and Dusty started to be happy again. Then she became his girlfriend, and he forgot about his mother. His friends talked to him, and commented about his mother, because she was getting worse. He didn’t listened to them, and he said he preferred his girlfriend to his mother. He got angry with them and he lost all his friends. By this time, Dusty and his girlfriend had an argument and they split up. He wanted to be with his mother because she was the person who he wasn’t angry with. But there was a surprise...

05 The Dog

The Dog

Last Friday, while I was coming back from a football match, I found a box near my house. I didn’t go to see inside the box, but I heard a noise and opened it. When I opened it, I saw a very small puppy and it was cold. It seemed hungry, so I decided to take it to my house with me. But when I showed the dog to my mother, she didn’t love it. Because there are a lot of expenses with a dog, and even more with its food, and we weren’t in a good financial situation. I became very sad and my mother proposed me a thing: I could keep the dog if it took care of its expenses. I accepted her offer and then I was very happy. But it wasn’t so easy, since I didn’t have money. I didn’t know how to get the money that needed, but then I found a poster that helped me. It was of a competition of agility for dogs and the prize was 500€.

I decided to take Eros, that is the name of my dog, to the competition. But I had to train it before. I trained it for two weeks. At the beginning it was hard for me, but at the end it was easier. A few days later the competition began, but we were already prepared. It was very difficult because there were a lot of contestants, but Eros did it very well. The punctuations were very adjusted between all the dogs. But I managed to be in the final of the competition. It was difficult but we won and I became very happy. From this day I didn’t have any more problems to keep Eros and I could buy it things to play. And now Eros takes part in a lot of tournaments and always wins.
