Special trasnport

Funicular is a little train. It goes from Paral.lel, next to the underground stop,   to Montjuic. Once at the top there if you want you can catch Teleféric and go to the top pf  Montjuic, where there is a  Castle.

It’s a slowly train and one part of the way is underground. You cannot see beautiful views but is the most ecological and cheapest transport to go to the top of mountain Montjuic, better than with you car.

THE PLACE WHERE I LIVE

I live in Barcelona, the most very important city of Catalonia. It has more than 1.000.000 people. Many people from many cities or countries live in Barcelona.

It has a lot of tourist all year round because Barcelona has many beautiful places, for example the monuments like " La Sagrada Familia" a great church designed by Antonio Gaudí or from the same architecture " El Parque Güell " a very beautiful garden where lots of couples celebrate their wedding.

Barcelona is also famous for the beach such as Barceloneta and for the food, the famous " Dieta Mediterranea". The beaches of Barcelona are big, very nice and not dirty.

The weather in Barcelona is pleasant, always sunny and rarely rains.

The place where I live

I live in Barcelona, the city is located in the north-east of Iberia. It has a population of 1.000.000 people. It’s the second biggest city of Spain. Barcelona is great for visiting museums. The tourist visit the “Sagrada Familia” ( the holly family church). It's a modernist huge church. Its most popular street is the “Ramblas” with the harbour at the end of it. The weather here is perfect, in summer the tourist can go to the beach and play which the sand. In the winter it can be very wet, because the dea is near. Barcelona is famous for the “Escudella”, it is a typical soup. There’s festival in April, it’s “Sant Jordi”, on the 23rd .But I think the best things about Barcelona are the parties and the tourist of different countries. I like living in Barcelona

LEMON TREE
By Fool's Garden

I'm sitting here in a boring room it's just another rainy
Sunday afternoon I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens- and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens- and I wonder

I wonder how I wonder why yesterday you told me
'bout the blue blue sky and all tall that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here I miss the power I'd like to go out
taking a shower but there's a heavy cloud in side my head
I feel so tired put myself into bed where nothing
ever happens- and I wonder

Isolation - is not good for me
Isolation - I don't want to sit on a lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy Baby anyhow I'll get another toy and every thing will happen-and you'll wonder

I wonder how I wonder why yesterday you told me
'bout the blue blue sky and all tall that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

 

Then write a list of the adjective

 

And the last one underline the verbs
