This summer i read a book called a Wrinkle in time of Madeleine l'Engle. It's about a girl called Meg Murry. She is very intelligent but he has a lot of problems and troubles in the school. Her father, a important scientific, desappeared time back in stranges circumstances. Her young brother, Charles Wallace, is a prodigy child but everybody thinks that they has a handicap. They met three suspicious women: Miss Whatsit, Miss Which and Miss Who. Charles Wallace and Meg, travel with those women to differents worlds searching her lost father. In that trip they met some curious people and they travel into awesome places. This book has been very hard to read but I think I understand the whole story, and I like so much the plot because I think is an original and fantastic story.
The thing I loved the most in Berlin was The Wall, so I'm going to do a post for him. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to 1989 and separated the German Federal Republic and the German Democratic Republic. That starts when in the end of the World War II, the URSS, England, USA and France won to Germany and they divided the zone. Years later, in the Cold War, the things were compicated because the capitalist zone they progress and in the sovietc zone they didn't. So, in the Cold War, they decided make a Wall in Berlin, because it was the capital. The 9 of November of 1989, in the Minister's Council proclaim the fall of the wall.
I had a little luck with my family because all of them speak a perfect spanish because Natalia (the mother of Marlene) is spanish and is the spanish teacher in the school. They was very very good with me and I was very confortable in their house. In the family there was the father who names Florian, the mother who names Natalia, the daughter Marlene (he was my correpondent in the exchange), and his young borther Matias, who was 9 years old. They had two cats too. The house was very big and there was a carpet in the floor and I love that because it makes a most confortable place.
This Juny I was in Berlin ten days with our german friends that came in January. There was a very funny and unforgettable experience. We were doing practices in the school and seeing their system of learning. Borja and me were in the first of primary classand we saw how the children were very independents and they had in the class a lot of material to learn and they know how to use it alone. In secondary they work very independent too, and a thing that call our attention were that they hadn't any cleaning lady and no cooker, they cleaned the class and every week there were two persons that were in charge of the cafeteria and they should prepare the break and when the catering takes the lunch, the had to serve it. Elena and Andrea were helping in the cafeteria and that was very funny. The town that the most of we lived, it calls Köpenick and it was twenty minutes in subway from Berlin. I liked very very much the city of Berlin and my favourite thing was The Wall (actually, I think it is my favourite monument). We made a lot of new friends and we have a lot of experiences. I´m going to miss them a lot :)
