Queen's lost jewels found
The Queen's jewels, an esmerald bracelet
The gems,
that were stolen last week, appeared in a dust bin inside the Royal Palace. They
were found by one of the women from the cleaning service, Kelly Impia. The
jewels were stolen last Wednesday night, and the security staff thought that
someone broke into the Buckingham Palace, but there was nothing in the security
tapes. After that, they thought it might be someone from inside, and decided to
interrogate everyone. However, the Queen said she would be in charge of the
search, and made a meeting with all the people living in the Palace. After that
meeting, she discovered that her grandchildren had them, and were just making a
joke to their granny, a very expensive one.

A drawing, representing the world's pollution problems.
Nowadays, young people are not interested in helping the
environment. It cannot support the view that adolescents have towards taking
care of our planet.
I fully agree with the statement that young people don't help the environment. In comparison to the past, people are lazier nowadays and, in fact, I believe that is the reason why they do not do anything for the environment.

I strongly disagree with the people who pollute the environment and could prevent it. Contrary to the past, currently we indeed contaminate more and, specifically, that is why I believe young people should be aware of helping the environment.
What people should do, and what people do.
To sum up, I fully support the idea that young people do not care about the environment, since, in contrast to people in other ages, they do not realize that they are damaging the environment, whe they shoul help it.
I had never felt so nervous before in my life. It all
began when, out of the blue, my father gave me the tickets. Independiente, my
club, had reached the Copa Sudamericana final. We were playing against Goias,
from Brazil. The first match was there, we lost 2-0, I felt defeated. The idea
of losing that final made me feel dreadful. The defining match was at home, we
had to win.
Finally, the day arrived, and as I said before, my
father suddenly got the tickets, so I was going to the stadium. As soon as I
arrived there, I started feeling nervous. Previously, nevertheless, I didn’t
understand how important that match was. I was delighted, I couldn’t believe I
was there. In addition, the stadium was full and everyone was shouting. Both my
dad and I felt empowered.
At last, the match finished, we won 3-1, quite
unexpectedly, we were going to penalties. Not long afterwards, we had the
chance of being champions. If Tuzzio scored his penalty, we could win. Without
warning, he started walking towards the ball, and just before he kicked it, I
tried not to look, but I couldn’t.
