VII Manga Convention

Last Weekend took place de VII Manga Convention in Murcia. I went on Saturday with some friends by train at 8:10 in the morning because we didn't want to wait in an enormous queue, but all people in Murcia seemed to think the same, because the place was crowded. The convention was suposed to start at 10:00, but we actually were be able to get in at 12:31. We wanted to attend to a speech about The Legend of Zelda, one of the most famous videogames saga, but we missed it because when we finally were inside the building, it was about to end. I could have gone with another friend to see a dance contest, but I didn't expect nothing special and we went to buy some things. Today I've seen the videos of the contest and I really regret to not to have attended. There were far less stands than the year before, so I only bought a t-shirt and a necklace. In the afternoon we saw the expositions about Marco, Dragon Ball sculptures and bonsais. Later, at 18:30 we wanted to attend to a speech about music in videogames, but the speech before (about cosplay) got too long, and since we were really tired, we left the convention to go to have dinner and finally go back home.

Introduction and Conclusion (TKD Outline)

 Introduction:
I have been doing Taekwondo for the last two years, while I was studying Bachiller in the high school. This sport can provide you with huge benefits, not only physically speaking, but psychologically too. Taekwondo is one of the best sports to practice in the youth because it increases your health and help you to have  a balance between body, mind and emotions.

Conclusion:
To sum up, if you want to be stronger, more flexible and increase your resistance you should try with Taekwondo. You also will notice how your self-confidence grows, so you will be able to reduce and handle your stress. As a consequence you will become a balanced person!

Thesis Statement: TV advertisements

Higher fines would help to dissuade TV Companies from publishing too much publicity and inappropiate advertisements that the youngest and most sensitive public can watch at some time.

Outline

1. Doing Taekwondo a few times a week can benefit not only our body, but to our mind too.
2. Physical benefits.

• Improves strength

Books, glorious books~

Diane Setterfield is an English writer that was totally unknown for me until a few years ago.
When I was in the high school I went to a bookshop and looked for some books to keep entertained during a long trip by bus. There, I discovered The Kingkiller Chronicle and bought too The Odyssey. A third book caught my attention, but I had just bought two books, so I came back home.
A few days later, I still was thinking about the cover of that book and wondering about what kind of story it had.
Fortunately, the book was still in the same place when I came back to that shop, so I bought it. This novel is The Thirteenth Tale.
Vida Winter is a really famous and old novelist that has always been lying when she was asked about her life. The novelist knows that her death is near, so she asks for Margaret's (the protagonist) help to write her biography; the thirteenth and last work, The Thirteenth Tale.
This book may don't seem very interesting; the slow rhythm and Margaret's dull, shy and sad personality actually made me drop the story, but when I restarted reading two years ago, I discovered a wonderful suspense tale, full of misteries and secrets waiting for me.
The Thirteenth Tale gave me back the love for reading, and made me believe that there are thousands of stories out there, waiting to be read by someone, and we must dedicate them the time they require.
The Thirteenth Tale became one of my favourite books, and now I do regret to have left it years ago.
Nowadays it is a bit difficult to find it physically sold, but please, if you can, buy it and read it.
You may think that it is boring, but dedicate it enough time and you will discover that you actually love it. You will not regret.
