I am used to drink coffee at morning, before going to school, or at the afternoon, while I’m doing my homework or watching the TV.

In summer I drink coffee with some ice cubes and a lot of sugar because it is refreshing and helps me to stand the heat.

In winter I use to drink warm coffee with a lot of sugar too (I like it sweet) like coffee with milk, cappuccino or expresso.

This is the cup of where I usually put the coffee. I think it’s cute and I love it.

I don’t know why, but I prefer drinking coffee from a cup rather than from a glass.

Coffee

I don’t like coffee, but admittedly, I am getting used to drink it because of the exams and the stressful life I’m living nowadays. Coffee it’s the essential component for the exams week, without it, I wouldn’t have survived!

I always add milk and a good quantity of sugar in my coffee, and I use to drink it in the morning.

This would be the perfect breakfast if the glass was full of milk:

My favourite painter

I don’t have a favourite painter, but I like specially Salvador Dali. He was born in Figueres, Spain in 1904.

His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dalí’s expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.

Here you have a picture of The Persistence of Memory:

My favourite writer

My favourite writer is Carlos Ruíz Zafón, I’ve read all of his books and I’ve loved them all. But Aida has written about him, so I will tell us about Stephenie Meyer, who is a writer that has shocked me with her saga of Twilight.

She was born in the United States in 1973. She’s actually married and has got three children. She has written “The Host” and “The second life of Bree Tanner”.

An important and popular writer in Catalan during the 20^th century was Miquel Martí i Pol. Miquel Martí i Pol was born in the 19^th March 1929 and died the 11^th November 2003 in Roda de Ter. He was a poet, a writer and translator.

Miquel Martí i Pol was from a humble family, so at the age of 14 he had to begin to work in a factory, after having studied the primary education.

At the age of 19 he suffered pulmonary tuberculosis and he could not work for a long time. During that period he took advantage of the situation reading and writing.

In 1954 he published her first book of poetry, Paraules al vent, and he won the prize Premi Ossa Menor.

In 1956 he married and had to sons. During Francisco Franco’s dictatorship he participated in Catalan cultural activities and he collaborated with PSUC [The PSUC was the largest opposition party in Catalonia and upon the fall of the regime it became a mass party].

The year 1979 he was diagnosed as having Multiple Sclerosis and at 1973 he had to leave the factory. However he continued writing. In the year 1977 he won Premi Lletra d’Or and in 1979 he won Premi de la Crítica de poesia catalana. He won this Prize two more times: I 1991 and in 1994.

He also stood up as a translator into Catalan from writers like Aintoine de Saint-Exupéry, Georges Arnaud, Simone de Beauvoir, Claude Lévi-Stauss, Guillaume Apollinaire, Gustave Flaubert, Émile Zola, Jean Racine, Joris-Karl Huysmansi and Roland Barthes.

He died the 11^th November 2003 and at that moment he was the most read and known poet in live. Many famous people went to his burial like Catalan politicians or Pep Guardiola, the current Barça’s coach, who was a close friend of the poet.

My favourite place at home is my room. It is quite big and it has a large window. The walls are painted on dark brown, light brown and yellow. I have a wardrobe, my bed and my desk. The room is sorted and the bed is almost always done.

In my room I sleep, do the homework and I have my computer. I like it very much because it is very comfortable to sleep on my bed

I am not very interested in painting, so I do not have a favourite painter. However I like the way some painters do. One famous Catalan painter I like is Joan Miró.
Joan Miró i Ferrà was born the 20th April 1893 in Barcelona and died the 25th December 1983 in Palma de Malloca. He was a painter, a sculptor, ceramist and engraver. He is considerate one of the exponents of the surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an “assassination of painting” in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

Here you have a picture of my slippers. They’re grey and really warm; normally I use them in winter because in summer it’s too hot to wear them.

Many slippers are produced by women. The first part of the production is the cutting of the pieces that they’re going to be our finally slippers, then the women edging and sewing them. The slippers can have different shapes and can be made from different clothes.

One of the most important factories in Spain is located in the region of Castilla- La Mancha.

The shoes that I like to wear shoes at home are my Barça, I like to carry not only because it’s my favorite team but because they are very comfortable and very soft inside. H ave a rubber sole and the only drawback is that very hot summer spent with them.

MY SLIPPERS

This are my slippers. I bought them in a shoe shop in Barcelona but they were made in China. They are blue, its inside is brown and it has got brown hearts and brown loops.

They are very comfortable, but they are not very appropriate for winter because they are open and thin, so they will not protect you from cold.

They are made of rubber for the sole and cloth for the rest.

This are my pair of shoes I wear at home. I bought it in a local shop of Lleida called “Oysho”.
They are very soft and confortable. Also are perfect for winter because they are very warm.
This shoes were produces in China. They produce them with a a rubber sole,
velvet fabric and thread. First they drew the prototype of this shoes, then they cut the velvet fabric and and stitched to the sole. That’s it.

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.
