My personal hero

My personal hero is my grandmother. She is one of the most important person in my life. Some years ago, she worked in a bakery and she used to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day. When I was young, she was operated. After the operation, she continued to smoke. She was standing on the edge of death, but she decided to stop for her sons and her granchildren. For me, she is an example of strenght and determination.👵🏽

Tattoos

Tattoos is an old pratice that dates back to 5000 years ago. The oldest testimony is "Otzi" an ice man who lived about 5300 years ago, with his back and knees tattooed. In Egypt, tattoo, seemed to be an exclusive female pratice. In the past, tattoos were made by the oldest woman of the comunity, with a sharp point set in a wooden handle. The word "tattoos" appears in 1769, when James Cook arrives to Thaiti. I like little tattoos and I think that each tattoos needs to have a meaning

Gelert

Many years ago, in Gwynedd, lived a prince called Llewelyn, who loved hunting with his brave dog, Gelert. The prince had a son, but the mother died when he was born. When she died, he promised her that he will cherish his son. One day, while Llewelyn went to hunting, left his son near the fire with his dog. When he returned home , he opened the door and saw the cradle on the floor, covered with blood. He looked down and saw Gelert's head and paws full of blood. He believed that the dog killed the baby so he killed it. But after, he heard the weeping of his child and saw a dead wolf. Filled with remorse, the prince built a grave near the river

Neymar Jr

One of my favourite sport person is Neymar Jr. He was born in 1992 in Brazil and he is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Spanish club FC Barcelona and Brazil national team. He started his career when he was 11 and he won many awards like 'Copa Libertadores', 'South American footballer of the year' in 2011 and 2012 and many other. He also made various spots like Gillette and Nike. Neymar, Messi and Suarez form the trio of the best forward, called MNS. I don't remember when i first heard about him , but I really like him for his tenacity and professionality.

Pancake day

Pancake day or Shrove Tuesday is a special day celebrated all over the world. In some countries, like France and The USA, it's called 'Mardi Gras' or 'Fat Tuesday'. In other countries like Italy and Brazil, Shrove Tuesday, is at the end of Carnival. During this day, people eat pancake. Pancake Day is always on a Tuesday in February or March. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. During Lent, people didn’t eat rich foods like butter and eggs, so they made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.Another tradition on Pancake Day in the UK is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss the pancake  several times. In some pancake races people dress up in fancy dress costumes. The most famous pancake race takes place in a town called Olney, in England. People say that Olney has been celebrating pancake races since 1445.
