SCOTLAND
Hello!
We are going to talk about a nation of United Kingdom, Scotland. This nation is in the Great Britain. The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, but the largest city is Glasgow.The official language is English, but also speak Gaelic and Scots.The history of Scotland started around ten thousand years, until at present.The Government is constitutional monarchy.The patron of Scotland is St. Andrew.The money that they use is pound sterling.
Well… Now I will talk a little bit about culture.There are an important artistic activity, both Musical and Literature, and sport also has a long tradition in Scotland.
First, The music:
The traditional Scottish instrument is the bagpipes, in particular the one from the Highlands. The Clarsach or Celt harp, violins and accordions are also Scottish instruments especially the last two which are part of the traditional Scottish Dances.
Second, the TV:
The national broadcaster is BBC Scotland (BBC Alba in Gaelic), a constituent part of the British Broadcasting Corporation, the publicly-funded broadcaster of the United Kingdom.
Third, Literature:
Robert Burns is considerate the national poet, their much of his writing is also in English and in a "light" Scots dialect which is more accessible to a wider audience.Another writer is James Matthew Barrie who is the author of Peter Pan.
Forth, Sports:
Sport also plays a big part in the Scottish culture as the country holds many sporting events. The Football and Ruby are the more important sports of Scotland.Scotland has its own national governing bodies, such as the Scottish Football Association (the second oldest national football association in the world) and the Scottish Rugby Union.Some varieties of football have been practiced in Scotland, for various centuries: the first dates from 1424. Associated football is the national sport in Scotland; in fact the Scottish Cup is the most ancient trophy in the world. The twice big teams in Scotland are Celtic of Glasgow and Rangers of Glasgow, that they are rivals of the same city, because Celtic are Catholics and Rangers are Protestants.Another Sport is Golf; St. Andrews is the birthplace of golf and the oldest golf course in the world. Is almost a place of worship for golfers.
There are other elements of sport in the Highland Games like mountains games, and some Celt sports like curling or shinty. Cricket is also a popular sport in Scotland with the team having qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup on three occasions and having co-hosted the world cup in 1999.
And finally the most characteristic of Scotland is her dress: the traditional Scottish wear is the Kilt also called Scottish Skirt which offends the Scottish if you say it.

Description of my friend Iñaki!
I will do a description of my friend, Iñaki.
I have known Iñaki since we were at primary school. He’s a good friend. We have played together football for 7 years.
Now I’m going to describe physical appearances and personality.
Iñaki, isn’t tall but he isn’t short, five years ago, he was the tallest in our, but he has remained small. He’s very strong and very broad-shouldered. He is a little short-sighted and he has a long sideburns.
Iñaki is a little big-headed, but he always likes joking, he is a little bit narrow-minded and sometimes is thick skinned. He never gets angry, and he is always fooling about.
He is a little cold-hearted.

FRANKEINSTEIN: Differences between the film and the book!
There are some differences between the film and the book, these are some of them:
The book says that the monster have a yellow skin and in the film you can see, the monster with a nomal color of skin.
The book says that Elisabeth has a blonde hair but in the film Elisabeth has a brown hair.
In the book the monster strangles Elisabeth and in the film the monster pulls of Elisabeth heart.
In the book Justine goes to prision and died there but in the film The justice hangs her.
In the book, the second monster which he was creating, the company of first monster, before that she live and in the book the second monster live but ride away he cometes suicide.
I think the film is better, it's more impacting because it's a horror film, and the book doesn't impress me.

Milan lost versus Arsenal by 2-0.
In the first leg they drew 0-0, but Arsenal was been the best team of the tie.
Milan were last fear Champions of the European Cup, but this year they won't be able to win again, because they were put out.
Yesterday Barça went through to the last sixteen!
Last night, Barça went through after beating Celtic by 1-0, in the first leg Barça had already won by three goals to two.
Barça scored int the second minute, and the rest of the match was very boring, Celtic didn't create any danger, their first shot at goal came in the 85 minute, that was the only time Barça's goalkeeper had to save anything.
The most negative part of the match was when Messi went down injured and he'll be out for at least six weeks.
