A FILM (A WALK TO REMEMBER)

It's a really good film about love. The main characters are one boy and one girl. First they are friends but in the end of the film they become lovers. But the girl dies because she has leucemy. I enjoy this film because it's very sensitive and I like the story so much. I cried a lot...

TV HIGHLIGHTS

The highlight of this week's TV was the Voice. The voice is a talent show about singing. In each programme the participants sing and they do a different competition each week. The participants win a prize and the others participants learn a lesson. This programme were exciting, and funny.

Channel 6's cartoon and comedy programme The Simpsons: The programme tells the story of a family and their every day adventures.

The names of the characters are: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

My favourite is Lisa, because she is very intelligent and she likes music like me. The Simpsons is a very old programme, because it's on TV since a long time ago.

I like it, because it is funny and I laugh very much with all the characters.

Finally, something wich also caught my eye was ''vivir cantando''. It's a soap opera where there are problems about the characters… This TV programme is exciting and funny.

Above all of this TV programmes, I like "Entre fantasmas", the scary soap opera on Channel 7. Jennifer Love Hewitt is the main character.
