My Trip to Italy

In the month of July, I went to some parts of the beautiful country of Italy. I started in the capital Rome. It is a city with a big variety of monuments, such as, “Il Colosseum”, “Il  Pantheon”, etc. Then, I went to a city characterized by the art, like “Il David”, the most important. Then I went to the city that I liked the most Venecia, that instead of streets, have canals. Finally, I finish in Genova, a city that, in my opinion, is not beautiful, but it has beaches, that are good. In Genova, I went to my uncle’s house and I saw him for first time. Italy, is a wonderful country and I want to go again.

The Surprise Party

The last Saturday, I, with help of my other friends, did the best surprise party ever. The secret party, was for my friend Francis, with the proposal of say him goodbye , because he will go to Las Vegas in September 5, because his father is working there and he will not return to Chile. The party was in my house, to make him come without his knowledge about the party, we said him to come to study with us. When we entered to my house, all shouted “Surprise!” I think, he never guessed about the party because of his face of surprise. The party was awesome, we eat ,we dance, we talk, etc.  Unfortunately, Francis has to go to Las Vegas.

The Bad Referees

The other day, I watched an amazing soccer match: Borussia Dormunt vs Bayer Munich. The score was 4 for Borussia and 4 for Bayer Munich. But, when they where in the minute 90', foul in the area! and the referee didn't awarded the penalty! In my opinion, this is unacceptable. That penalty could change the match. I think that the organizers, that in this case are from "The Champions" should change the referees to better referees. Apart from that mistake, they didn't award 2 other penalties that, in my opinion, wear clear too and they annul 2 goals because of offside and they weren't too! The referees today are awful.

 How to Plan the Perfect Party

The last morning I was thinking to do a party, the best party ever. In my opinion, the perfect party should have good music, with a DJ and good dupstep. Another thing that should have is good food, such as French fries, potatoes chips, nachos with cheese, etc. and should have good sodas like Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite, etc. I think that we should start to invite a great amount of people the earlier possible. I think that some parties are not very successful because the organizers don’t take the time to organize well all the minimum details. Personally, I prefer the parties with a lot of people because I think you can share more with the people.
