Summary: Some years ago, Josh’s parents died. No- body every knew why. Even the police. Even them could not know why they died. Some people say that they died in a natural way, but other people say this isn’t logical, and think that someone had to kill them. After years of confusion and searching, nobody has been able to find a reason. Joames and Olive died on the 5th of May, in 1995, when Josh was 5. A farmer found their corpses near a huge tree, a huge dead tree. “At that moment, the sky was darker”, said the farmer. “The wind started to blow harder. It was a cold, pale wind. The smell was nauseating. I approached, little by little, to that terrible, huge and lonely tree. I never liked that tree. A flock of crows fled when I arrived. I was alone, and frightened. I screamed loudly, but there was no one there. I ran to my farm, almost crying. I called the police, and in half an hour, they arrived. I went to the tree with them, but . . . there was something different. the corpses were in a different position . . . and with new clothes on . . .” Those were the last words of the farmer. After the tragedy, Josh went to live with his uncles, Steve and Helen. They helped Josh to learn, but they never told Josh about his parents’ death. They were living nicely, like a happy family . . . until that day. Steve and Helen, the only family that Josh had, died on the 2nd of February, in 2002, when Josh was 12. Nobody knew how. A tourist found their corpses on the edge of a river, in a dark old forest. “I was lost”, said the tourist, “I didn’t know which way I had to go. The sky was getting darker and darker, and I didn’t know where I was. After a long time walking, I found a river. I was very thirsty, so I went to drink some water. Suddenly, I heard voices, not far from there. I shouted, but there wasn’t any answer. I started to run in the direction of the voices, trying to find those people. But the only think I found was a big flock of balck crows, and a terrible smell. I ran away as fast as I could. The only image I remember of that moment . . . was horrible . . I can’t explain . . there were . . . letters . . . big letters drawn on the trees . . drawn in blood . . . those trees fell down, at the same time . . . those letters formed two words . . . BEWARE . . “ Those were the last words of the tourist. Josh had to go to the psychologist for a long time. He was Philip, a very good friend of his parents and his uncle and aunt’. Josh has been living with him since then. Nowadays, Josh is 19. Philip told him all about his family’s death. And now, with the help of Philip, the psychologist, and of Emily, Josh’s best friend, Josh will do everything he can so as to find out why his family died and who was responsible for their death.

SAN ANDREAS I'm going to talk about “San Andreas”, a computer game. You live in a poor neigh- bourhood of Los Angeles. You are a black man without a mother or brother, but you have many friends. The people that are wearing green clothes belong to your band. You should protect them. The people that are wearing yellow, purple or blue clothes are enemies OUR FAVOURITE GAMES from other bands. They attack you if they see you. In the game you can move the character with letters W (straight), S (left), A (go back) and D (right). You can also shoot with a click on the mouse. You can be a cars thief with the letter F of the keyboard. Also you can run and swim very fast with the space bar in the keyboard. You can drive a car, a motorbike, a bike, a bus, a lorry, a van, a quad.... You can go to different places like the burger, the beach, a shop, the forest, the hospital (when you die, you appear in it). The objective of the game are missions like “car rider”, “murder”, etc. JOSE ALBERTO MORCILLO CRUZ 2º E.S.O. B

COMPUTER GAME I am designing a computer game. First you must choose between a girl or a boy with the mouse. Then you can choose his or her clothes too. Now your character has got a weapon. To move your character you must press the arrows. You must press letter C to jump and the space bar to OUR FAVOURITE GAMES attack. The game has got different worlds and levels. When you see an enemy, you must attack. When he dies, he releases small balls of life and you can take them. When you finish all the levels, you must fight against a boss. You must move with the arrows and press the space bar to attack. If you win the battle, you are the winner and the game is over. If you don't win, you must try again. ALICIA REGUERA LÁZARO 2º E.S.O. B MY FAVOURITE GAME: CALL OF DUTY 5 This game is about the Second World War. There are many missions and you must do everyone. The purpose of the missions is to kill people. People can jump, go straight, turn right, turn left and go back but they can't climb things. If you see an enemy man, you must click on the mouse to kill him with your weapon. There are many types of weapons and there are vehicles that you can drive. Of course there are many buildings. When an enemy kills you, a friend can save you. This game is the most realistic. MIGUEL ÁNGEL MUÑOZ SÁNCHEZ 2º E.S.O. B

THE CAT You are a cat and you must find fish. The cat can jump and run but it can't go back. When you see a fish, you should click on it. Be careful with the other cats because they can attack you. You start in a big bin and you must find some OUR FAVOURITE GAMES other bins. Then the game ends when the cats attack you or when you find 50 fish. You can move the cat by pressing the arrows. You can jump by pressing the space key. If you win or lose you put your time and your score into the Internet. MARIO SOLA LÓPEZ 2º E.S.O. B MY COMPUTER GAME This game is about a cat, a dog and a mouse. You are the mouse and you must take some cheese. You must escape from the dog and the cat before they catch you. In the game you can jump and run. When you see some cheese, you must press “Enter” and you can eat the cheese. You must press the arrows to run and jump (left arrow to jump and right arrow to run). The game is over when the cat eats you. AIMEE LOZANO 2º E.S.O. B
