My favourite place, DBH 2

My favourite place

 My favourite place in the world is Laga. It is a beach in the coast of Biscay and I like it because it is beautiful and it has got lots of waves. I also like it because it's lively and you have both sand and rocks. It is also colourful and pleasant, sometimes a bit noisy. But the thing that I most like of Laga is that in summer a lot of people of my age go there, so you can meet new people. In Laga, you can be in the waves, collect pretty seashells or have a walk with a friend. You can also have a picnic, take pictures or have a nap. I It takes 15-20 minutes to go from Gernika to Laga, so I go frequently. Mostly in summer, because of the weather, but I also sometimes go for a walk in winter. Definitely, it's worth to go at least once to see Laga.

  My favourite place        My favourite place in the world is Isabel la Catolica park. It's a park in Gijón, Asturias. It is a very big and colourful park. You can walk peacefully or you can stay in one place and watch the animals. It's pleasant to be there. This park is also an awesome place to take pictures of different types of birds. I would like to go there more frequently, because I usually go in Easter holiday only.

Hello and I am going to speak about my favourite sport. My favourite sport is Pool. Pool is a cue sport and you need special equipment. You need a pool table,pool balls and pool sticks. There must e two or more people to play this sport. To play this sport you must choose a type of ball:stripe or normal. Then you must do teams. One team has to put in his type of ball in the little bags and then put in the black ball. If you put in a little bag the black ball before you put in all your balls you lose.

Billiards os one of my favourite game.It's a bit complicate but it's so fun.Only two persons can play it.How do you play it?First you need to have a billard table,a triangle to put all the balls in except one ( the white ) and also you need to have sticks to heat the balls.Then you need to hit very hard the white ball to separate the rest of the balls,but for that you need to have a lot of strength.Each player can hit the ball one time but if you get into the hole you have another shoot and like that in succession.To win the game you must put all the balls in the holes and the black one the last one,because if you score the black one before the others you lose,so have carefull with that!!!

From The Legend of Hercules

 

Thousands of years ago in Greece, in the city of Thebes, there lived a beautiful queen. She was so beautiful that the great god, Zeus fell in love with her – a mortal – and they had a baby son and named him Hercules. All the gods and goddesses came to see the baby and decided to grant him strength and courage. One day, two serpents slipped into the cradle where the baby slept. They wound themselves around his throat but the baby awoke, seized a serpent in each hand and strangled them both.

Years later, after slaying a ferocious lion, Hercules was faced with the task of killing the Lernean hydra! From the murky waters of the swamps near a place called Lerna, the hydra would rise up and terrorise the countryside. A monstrous serpent with nine heads, the hydra attacked with poisonous venom. This ferocious beast was no easy prey, for one of the nine heads was immortal and therefore indestructible. Hercules set off to hunt the nine-headed menace with his trusty nephew Iolaus, by his side. By the springs of Amymone, they discovered the lair of the loathsome hydra.

How was Hercules to fight the cruel beast? First, he lured the coily creature from the safety of its den by shooting flaming arrows at it. Then, as the hydra emerged, Hercules seized it! In a flash, it wound one of its coils around Hercules’ foot making it impossible for the hero to escape. With his club, Hercules attacked the many heads of the hydra. As soon as he smashed one head, two more would burst forth in its place! How was he to defeat this creature? Hercules called Iolaus to help him.
