Here, I´m writing a real story.
I was walking down a street in the south of London. It was midnight. There weren´t any stars in the black sky and it was pouring with rain. I was alone and the street was quiet, suddenly I could hear a voice. A well-known murderer was killing a little girl. I could see his face but I think he couldn´t see me.
The following day, I went to the police station very frightened and I told them everything. The policeman tried to catch him during several months but the bad man was quite intelligent and he always escaped. Finally, the police found him in his house and he went to (the) prison.
Now, everybody is happy in the town and I hope there won´t be any more murderers.
- I think it´s wrong because there are some words that don´t make sense in this text, others don´t exist and there aren´t any sentences joined. Last, there´s nothing with a whole description.
I think that the story is bad because he used some words in a bad context, verbs and nouns that have got another mean and he hardly used linkers.
The night was very dark. It was raining a lot when I witnessed a terrible scene. A man was killing a girl! I saw the face of the killer and I (had good luck) was lucky he didn´t see me.
The next day I couldn´t stop (to think) thinking, so I decided to go to the police station, I told a police officer the entire story and I described the killer. The police was looking for the killer for a lot of time but he didn´t appear, thanks to his intelligence he could (to )hide, but finally the police caught him the week after.
Now I am happy because the killer is in (the) prison and everybody in the town congratulated me.
Last week Penélope Cruz became the Spanish first actress to win an academy award. Her golden statuette was for best supporting actress in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a role in which she speaks mainly Spanish. It came a year after her co-star, Javier Bardem, became the first Spanish actor to win an Oscar for his supporting role in No Country for Old Men. Cruz spoke later of her hopes that Hollywood is now increasingly willing to embrace different nationalities and languages. Such a trend reflects a Spanish boom on TV and radio as Hispanics, the biggest minority in America, become ever more influential.
Spanish is the first language of 34 million people in US. Only Mexico has a bigger Spanish-speaking community.
The only disappointment for the media that day was that Bardem, whom Cruz is said to be dating, was not there to plant a congratulatory kiss. Then the Spanish Hollywood fairytale would be complete.
Spaniards are voting in regional polls in the Basque Country and Galicia - the first political test since Spain slid into recession in 2008.
The Socialists have been focusing their campaign on the economy there rather than issues of national identity. Hours before polls opened, the Basque police arrested a suspected member of the militant group Eta, who was believed to have been planning an imminent attack. The 24-year-old had been under surveillance. Officers later found what has been described as "bomb-making equipment" in an apartment in the town of Hernani. Eta has called the Basque election "anti-democratic", following a decision by Spain's Supreme Court to ban two separatist parties from fielding candidates.
In Galicia, the Socialists are hoping to hold on to power in a coalition with the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG).
