4. 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.
Description
Watch the World burn, is an action-packed game. This game includes
a pack with virtual glasses. Thanks to them, the extreme moments of
the game will look more real. 3Dimensional videos and extreme gra-
phics are the main features of the game. Absolute realism. Obviously,
it is better to enjoy the game wearing these glasses than watching

5. the game on the traditional TV set. This pack also includes headphones
which make the sound efects more real too.
The game satrts like a film, showing the entire story told above. After
that, you appear in a strange room. You will learn how to control the
character, how to move, how to use objects, etc. Then you must go out
of this room. You’ll see a big corridor. It seems you’re in a hotel, or some
other place similar. This was the hotel where his parents were working.
You have to explore all the rooms to find necessary objects and impor-
tant clues. After that, you must go out of the hotel. Now, you will meet
Philip. He will help you in your first investigation.
The game is divided in 2 parts: each part has 40 levels or missions.
Each mission is more difficult and complex than the previous one. In
the first part, you’ll conduct several investigations and you’ll have to
plan how to find out everything about the death of Josh’s family; and in
the second one, you’ll do everything possible to find and, if necessary,
to kill the culprit. At the end of each mission, you’ll take note about
the things discovered and all the investigations carried out. This game
requires a lot of attention to detailsand clues because all of these things
will help you. Some of the clues are given from the very beginning of
the story, for example, the name of the parents and the uncle and
aunt.

11. 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.

12. 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

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.

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.

13. 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

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

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.
