23. A CLASSMATE I ADMIRE OR LIKE. (Two compositions - BACHILLERATO 1)

To be really fair, I should write a composition talking about every single person of my class, mentioning aspects of each personality which deserve to be admired, since every person has got positive qualities. However, I would have to describe just a little bit of every classmate, and to be accurate I prefer focusing on one person.

Therefore, I have chosen Bárbara. And why her? The main feature I love of her is her sweet and kind personality. Just by looking at her face, you can guess the sort of person she is. She has always got a smile in her face, and she also has that kind of look that makes you comfortable to speak to her. She knows how to listen to you, which provides you confidence to tell her about any problem you have, as you know that she will be understanding to you.

She can be very shy, especially when she has to talk in front of many people. Then she blushes and it looks as if she wanted to hide behind her fringe. I think it is a very cute fact, even though she feels embarrassed. I also like the way she faces things, her behaviour towards something that she doesn’t manage at first. With her effort, she usually accomplishes her goals.

To sum up, she is a girl who has a great personality that stands out for her goodness and which makes people get on well with her. She can be a really nice friend who deserves a loving memory to keep.

Everybody has that one person who is able to cheer you up every time things turn out in a wrong way, and in my case, I have the luck to study in his same high school.

This person is the most generous and the kindest guy I have met in my whole life. It is amazing how incredibly amiable he can get to be, and that is the attribute which I most appreciate in an individual. Once, he lent all of us his house, as we wanted to throw a party. The most shocking fact is that almost nobody helped him the next day when we had to clean everything up. I believe that very few people are nice enough as to do that without complaining after, although I think that he should have told off those who refused cleaning, as he is not their slave.

Concerning our studies, this person can be proud of himself, as he was one of those kids who had lots of difficulties during the primary school, so none would have ever thought that he was going to go through Bachillerato, and that he was going to get quite good marks too. However, his real passion are sports, since he has always been an incredibly competitive person. When we were little, we both took up basketball almost at the same time, and that may be one of the main reasons which have made us be such good friends.

I believe that I am lucky to have found someone like him, and I am proud of calling him ‘best friend’, as after all, he is like a brother.

22. MY FAVOURITE SEASON. (Two compositions - BACHILLERATO 1)

Although I am not a very common person, as I like things that some of my friends dislike, I have to admit that, like most people, I absolutely love the summer.

I have always been a fairly active individual, since I get bored when I am at home in winter. I prefer to go out and to practise sports rather than stand still or sit down doing nothing. The summer is the perfect season to do all those cool activities, as the temperature is really high and we do not have to go to class. On top of that, my birthday is on  the fifth of August, and I always have a great time celebrating it.

My life in summer is pretty simple: I wake up, I have breakfast, I go to the beach and I have lunch there, and I finally go back home in order to start this cycle again. In spite of its simplicity, you can really change what you do from one day to another, as there are lots of different beaches and lots of different people to go with.

This season really makes me feel happy, as it allows me to relax after having studied a whole school year, being next to the ones whom I most appreciate. I believe that if I did not work as hard as I do, I wouldn´t enjoy the summer that much. However, I am not one of those individuals who dislikes winter or autumn. I think that these two seasons are really nice as well. It is said that if someone is happy, everything around him is beautiful, and I consider that that is my case.

In order to be original, I could write about how much I love winter, as I like Christmas and it’s a time to stay at your warm and comfortable home, watching the bright flames inside the fireplace. Or maybe I could write about spring, when all the flowers blossom and the weather begins to be quite good. I could even describe the grey autumn, season in which leaves fall from the trees, wind starts to blow and people have to recover their dusty umbrellas. I would be different from most people if I chose one of these seasons, but I would be lying.

Because my favourite season, no doubt, is summer. Just by writing it I can imagine the sunrays warming my cheeks up. Summer means beach, sport, friends, relax, new experiences, spare time. It’s a time when days are longer and sun (almost) always shines. You can go to the beach and enjoy the blue sea, or if you aren’t pleased with that, you can spend a day in the mountains, discovering nature. You can also make the most of your time and do varied activities, such as doing sport, learning a language or reading tons of books. It is necessary to mention the absence of classes, what makes summer really suitable to do whatever you can imagine.

To sum up, summer is my favourite season since I spend the whole year looking forward to its arrival, and in spite of not disliking the rest of seasons, I think summer is the best one.
