My room/ favourite place at home

My favourite place at home is the living room. It sounds strange, but I love this room first of all because it’s tidier and more organized than my bedroom, and secondly because there has got a TV, and obviously in mine there is not. And it also stands to reason that the living room is cozier.

In my living room I use to do many functions, like watching TV, napping, sometimes doing homeworks… I think everybody loves being eating and watching some soup opera program while is lying on the sofa with a blanket above. Therefore, I am not a lazy person.

Finally I enjoy be in the living room because it’s like a point to meet all the family and get together as well.

In my daily life I don’t use to drink so much coffee. Coffee is for me, the pleasure that only occasionally I want to experiment because I haven’t had this habit yet. I think most of the people cannot live without this pleasure, and they use to drink coffee every morning, midday… On the other hand, when I drink coffee I like to taste different flavors and combinations. One of them is the Irish Coffee. It’s required by some steps, but it’s easy to prepare.

First of all, you should put about two tablespoons of sugar in some hot water into a glass (this water may be very very HOT!). Then you have to put the magical essence, the Whisky! As the water is still very hot, you can leave a flame of fire with the lighter. After that, you might put the coffee very slowly and let it differentiate the different color of the coffee and of the whisky. This is a point that people wants to see and they really appreciate. So, it’s very important. For the end, the cream has to be put inside the coffee and a straw as well.

In my city there are many coffee shops. I often go to “Cañas y Tapas”. Actually this is more a restaurant than a coffee shop, but you can also spend the afternoon there with only a cup of coffee. In the summer, this place is really enjoyable due to two causes, one of them is because its terrace, in the summer there is very fresh, and the other cause is that it has a children park just straight on there. So, especially families like going there. My reason is very simple, it’s because I live close there and it’s very comfortable for me. So, here you have the picture, and now you know that when you are in Lleida you can come her e and taste the coffee, even if you want, I can prepare the Irish coffee for you.

Favourite painter

Actually I don’t know so much things about painters, but in my point of view, one of the most understandable is Dalí Domenech. He’s a Spanish surrealist painter borned in Figueres, Girona the 11^th May 1904. Darí studied in the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, in Madrid. Dalí’s production are inspired on Freud   theories: the representation of dream pictures and everyday objects in unexpected and surprising compositional forms. One example are the soft watches in “The Persistence of Memory” (1931). On the other hand, his technique is characterized by a meticulous drawing because he likes to specify the small datails with many visible colors.

As I told before, one of his works is “The Persistence of Memory”. I think Dalí wanted to show between this drawing that the greetings and the memories doesn’t go away never. Perhaps they can become blurred, but they will never be forgotten at all, because even we don’t like, they are somewhere inside us. Coming back to Dalí’s drawing I am able to say that the clocks are drawed for manifest the time, and obviously the time is the biggest symbol of memories, experiences…

My favourite writer, or better said, the writer who I am going to show you is called Gemma Lienas. She is from Barcelona and she has written novels basically, although she writes other genres , too. Gemma Lienas is degree in philosophy and letters, and before she began writing, she had been teacher and editor. Her first published work is called “Cul de sac”, a young adult novel that appeared in 1986. However, she has made more works. One of the most famous and characterized is “Carlota”. Carlota is a character who has starred in some of the most successful books from this author. Other interesting novel is “Quiero ser puta” ( I want to be a bitch). This book has been translated into Germany, Italian….. And this is a model of book of her reflection of feminism. I think I like this author because her books talks about themes that teenagers can enjoy while reading. Her way of saying things is understandable and also her opinions are interesting. I read her book Bitllet d’anada i tornada, and I recommend it to everybody.

SOES I WEAR AT HOME At home people use to wear slippers, and of course, I wouldn’t be an exception. Mine are white and they have some cotton inside making them hotter for winter. I think they are so funny and they remembers me some cartoon’s slippers.

Moreover, slippers are made by four steps. First of all, you should cut the pieces to made the grade. After edging, and then sewing the paste with some resistent glue. Finally, they may be molded with a technic called : “Bulcanizado’s technic”. In my opinion wearing slippers is better than wearing normal shoes at home because you can have the house cleaner. In some countries, like in China, people might take out their shoes before entering a house in order not to mess the floor or carpet.

My daily life

My daily life consists in rutine things. First of all I wake up at 7.45 o’clock if everything is normal, I mean if I don’t have to study or revise for any exam, or do some not finished homework…  Secondly I get dressed and go to the kitchen for my glass of milk. After that I go straight on to my high school. There I do class, it’s logical, and when three o’ clock arrives I can go home again. Once I am at home I use to have lunch and to sleep a few hours because later, I may do all the school’s homework. Then I have my dinner, and finally get a shower and go to bed.  As you see, I don’t use to have many time for watch TV or go out with friends. Even so there are not exams, I might do my homeworks. So… this is the hard life of student!                          

Of course on weekends I have my vital space and from time to time I am able to go out.
