The invention of ice-cream


In ancient Rome snow was brought from the mountains. After that it was discovered that snow cools wine and after that, the frozen snow was mixed with honey, juices and fruit to make icy desserts.
That is how ice-cream was once invented. In the begining, it was eatten only bt kings and queens, but eventually it was served to ordinary people too. When it was introduced ina Paris café in 1670, people had loved it inmediately. Today, ice-cream is enjoyed by people all over the world. Althrough occacionally someone doesn't like it. Usually, however, most of us can never get enough once we start eating it, in all the seasons of the year.

STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN


A stradivarius violin was sold for 902 paunts, the highest prince ever paid for a Stradivarius.

The violin, owned by yhe Mendelsson family, was made in 1720 and, because of its colour, it was known as the "Red Strad". It was played bt a professional musician.

In its year in the Mendelsson family, it was admired very little, except by amateurs, but its beautiful tones were demostrate by a a Japanese violinist before the auction yesterday.

It's in very good condition because it was kept a special case. The violin reached such a high price because of its date of 1720, when his finest instruments were made. Stradivarius was bought all over the world for their purity and deep, clear sound.

I play the violin since I was seven years old, and play one Stradivarius it's a dream for me.

The American family and TV.


The American family hasn't got time to sit down and watch TV, declared the NEWYORK TIMES in 1939 predicting that TV would never become as popular as radio. By 1990, however, American children between the ages of 2 and 5 were wathcing on average of 27 hours of TV a week. The consequences, acording to one professor of the School of Public health and community Medecine in Washinton, are catastrophic. Little children do not distinguish fact from fiction.

They do not undestrand but they absorb. Above all, they absorve violence as something exciting and efficient. The results of this early experience of violence only start to become a parent 10 to twelve years later.

When the children are old enough to cause socil problems. If there would be 10000 less murders per year in the USA.



I think that's incredible... And you?

a JOKE.


Three surgeons are talking about which patients are better in the room of operations.

The first surgeon says:

- I like operate librarian people because all the organs are organize in alphabetic order, it's easy.

The second surgeon says:

- No! there are so better the mechanic people; they bring the pieces of replace that I should put.

And the third surgeon, finally, says:

No, I'm sorry for contradict your opinion, but the better patients are the politics: they don't have heart, nor stomach, nor eggs and the brain and backside are interchangeable!

A GOOD EXPERIENCE.



This summer I worked in a "children's school", one place situated in the primary school (here, in Castelló d'Empúries, in front of the institute). I was an instructor of childs that worked in P3 and P4, so, they have 3 and 4 years old. We (me and the others instructors) played all the days with all the childs. For example, we (me and 2 instructors more of P3 and P4) prepared games with water, with ballons of water, we made workshop with colour paints, necklaces of pieces of macaroni... And the childs had the smile in the face all the time, all the day, it was fantastic.

I had a child with the eyes blues, his name is Marc; Ainoa, one little girl very beautiful; Alex, one earthquake that was in love with spiderman; Jenny, a little blond girl very fine; Marcel, a piece of bread!; Max, in all innocence; Hugo, that was in love with his mum, etc.
And me? well...I'm in love with each and every one!

It was a good experience... It was brilliant.
