Writing: my digital footprint A digital footprint is a track you leave when you go online. I think it’s negative because other people you don’t know can see where you go in your privacy, but it’s positive if you want to search things you had searched before. Everybody has a digital footprint. When I go online, I express myself with care, remembering everything online is permanent and public. I protect my privacy having different difficult passwords and thinking after going to different websites or after posting a photo. I protect other people privacy asking before tagging or sharing and not sending photos of other persons. A negative digital footprint is when you search bad things and other people can tell you off, but a good digital footprint is when you need to search things you had searched before. I googled my name and I didn’t find anything. I think this is good because other people can’t find me if I don’t want to. I think this too because I’m good saving my informa...

When you go online you leave a trail. This is like a real footprint. It says where you’ve been, how long you stayed and what you’ve been doing there. When you do anything, the hackers can watch you. I think this it’s negative, because you don’t have complete privacy and other people you don’t know can watch what you search. Everyone have a digital footprint, all what you search are in the “historial”. Here are 3 tips for taking care of your digital footprint: 1.     Do use a picture instead of a photo of yourself. 2.     Do use punctuation marks in your password. 3.     Do log off when you leave a website.

I think I’m a good digital citizenship, because I know the laws of searching in internet, and I respect him. I think this too because I respect the privacy of all the internet’s surfers. I think you are safe online if you know which pictures are good for post and which not, and I think these too if you know in which pages you can search information and in which not. But if you don’t control yourself, surfing internet it will be very dangerous because other people you don’t know can view you in your intimacy. It will be risky too if you go to illegal websites, because provably there was a virus, and your computer provably gets damage. It’s perilous surfing internet because there’re hackers connected in the server, and they can enter in your privacy things and view all of your things posted in the network without your consent. It’s dangerous go online too because if you open a credit card, these hackers can steal money from your savings. If you surf in the network, it’s imp...

Dear Paul, I am writing you to invite you to my grandparents party at Can Xabanet restaurant on Monday 21 st January. I invite you because you’re my cousin and we’ll stay all the family together. The lunch stars at 1pm and finishes at 5pm. We will eat great food and talk a lot. And of course we will celebrate my 20 th parents’ wedding anniversary. Because of this we can’t park in front of the restaurant and we must park next to the lake. After the lunch we’ll probably walk around the lake and feed the ducks. I think you will enjoy this event, because we’ll stay in family eating tasty food together. Please respond on mcoma@gmail.com by 20 th January. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Marçal Coma.

Last June, I was in an amazing event in Sant Joan De Les Abadesses. It was called Clownia. I went there with my family and we went there in the June of last June too. Clownia is a musical festival. There were a lot of music groups. The organizers of the event were the music group called Txarango. We saw Txarango, Catarres and a lot of others groups. When they’re weren’t any concerts, there were a lot of clown activities to do. In the area they’re were a lot of restaurants. In the night we slept in our mobile home. I really enjoyed the event because it was a lot of fun. I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Canada’s cool popstar The 20-year-old singer and musician recently released his third album, Shawn Mendes. But how well do you know his music? His first single With 15 years old he released his catchy first single “Life of the party”, in 2014. But just two years before that, Sawn couldn’t even play the guitar! Shawn taught himself how to play when he was 13 years old by watching tutorials in YouTube. Now he’s very good playing the guitar and singing with her. His pop-folk album In 2015, Shawn had his first international hit single, “Stitches”. He performed the song live on American TV, and it was the perfect opportunity for him to show off his guitar skills, introduce his pop-folk musical style and announce his debut album, Handwritten. Like the single, “Stitches”, the album was a big success. Shawn co-wrote many of songs. They are very good.

National Candy Corn Day In The thirty of October the American people celebrate the “National Candy Corn Day”. The American word for “sweets” is “candy”. And in the USA, corn is one of the most important cereals crops. So it’s not strange that in the 1880s, a confectioner put the two together an invented “candy corn”. Today Americans eat 9000 tons of it every year. In these day Americans celebrate the sweet.                                                                                                                 Candy Corn:
