My name is Sonia Garcés Larguarta. I’m 14 years old. I was born in Barcelona but my grandmother was born in Galicia and my grandad was born in Huesca and part of my family is in Galicia and Huesca but I’ve got family in Barcelona and Tarragona. I’ve got a younger sister her name is Sandra and she is 12 years old.

She is in 1st of ESO but not in my school. She goes to another school. My mother’s name is Esther she is a cook in a nursery. My father’s name is Javier, he is works in Nissan, which is a car company. It’s mi second year in an exchange. One year ago we went to Poland. It was a fantastic experience. For this reason this year I want do take partin another exchange!

In my freetime, I like meeting my friends and my boyfriend. But I also dance jazz in a gym. I love dancing and when I grow up I want to be a famous dancer, but I want to be a journalist in gossip magazines. My favourite class is English, because I want to learn more and improve my pronunciation.

I’m nice, sporty, happy, funny, kind and honest person but sometimes I’m very stubborn and when I want a little bit of unkind.. This is me! But this is only a little bit about me. I hope to meet you and you tell you more about myself!

Sara's profile





Hello everybody! My name is Sara Ortiz and I'm 14 years old. I live in a block of flats with my family. We're 4 people in th flat: my father, my mother, my younger sister and me.

 My father's name is Javier and he works as a bricklayer in a building in Cornellà. My mother's name is MªJosé and she works as an administrative in an office. My sister's name is Raquel and she is a student. In my family, there are people from many different places:Galicia, Portugal, Sevilla and Castilla la Mancha.

 My favourite hobbie is dancing, I dance flamenco and ballet, and I play the guitar. I like wearing jeans and colourful t-shirts. I'm a responsible, sincere, honest, sporty, kind and independent person but I'm sometimes untidy, stubborn and a little shy too. In my free time I like reading, go to the cinema, listening to music and meeting my friends. In the future I would like to study psychology, to travel around the world, because I like knowing about other cultures and meeting new people and  learning other languages too. See you soon.

TIPS FOR WRITING ON A BLOG III:


TIPS FOR WRITING ON A BLOG II:

TIPS RELATED TO FORM:
-Don’t write excessively long posts
-Do not deal with more than one topic in a post
-Use medium or big size types.
-Use Garamond or Trebuchet which are friendlier on the screen than Arial or Times.
-Think about the purpose of your writing and be as clear as possible.
-Make a plan for your writing.
-Divide your text in paragraphs separated by double space.
-Take your audience into account and use the appropriate register: you write differently whether you are addressing your friends or your family or your teachers etc…
-Blogging is not texting on your mobile or writing quickly on a mail format. Your style can be informal but has to respect communicative rules.
-Respect spelling and punctuation rules. Use a spellchecker and have your text corrected before editing.
-Write a first draft. Redraft, revise, proofread before editing.
-Use hypertext to complete or expand your ideas.
-If you want to create debate in the community of bloggers, end you writing with a question or a problem-like structure.
-If you are expressing facts, summarize the main contents of your writing in the last paragraph to make yourself clear.
-Do not give too much information (facts, links etc) or you risk discouraging your reader.
-Use relevant images, video, slide presentations or podcasts to make your writing more entertaining.
ENJOY BLOGGING!!!!!!!
