Xavier Hernández i Creus was (born in 25th January of 1980 in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia), more commonly known as simply Xavi, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central midfielder for La Liga club FC Barcelona, where he has spent his entire 13-year career.

I love this footballer! I really like him! I love the way he plays and how he cheats the opposited players with the ball and... wow, he makes magic!

Xavi is a very honest person, and I think he looks close to people, very simple, very transparent. He doesn't like the celebrity world or ay roll like this. He only wants to do his job the best he can. I admire persons like him.

Barça is my football team, the one which I belong forever! Since I was a child, I love this team. I asked for the Barça clothes for Christmas when I was eight =') I still have this costume in my wardrobe.

Books!

I will like to talk about one series of books that I like very much. They are the Mortal Instruments (Cazadores de Sombras in Spanish). The Mortal Instruments is a series of four novels by author Cassandra Clare including City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass and City of Fallen Angels.


I like these books a lot because... I like it! haha No, seriously: I like these books because they are well written and they have a very interesting fantastic facts.

The main characters are:

Clary Fray: also called Clarissa, is the main protagonist of the series. A 16-year-old Shadowhunter who was brought up as human by her mother for protection. She is a little over 5 feet tall and has wavy red hair. She is an artist, and is in love with Jace Wayland, even though for much of the series they believe they are siblings. Much of the series is focused on Clary's quest to help her mother while adjusting to her new life as a Shadowhunter. She has the ability to create new runes after being experimented on by her father who put angel blood in her syste
m.

Jace Wayland: also called Jonathan
Christopher, and in the end Jace Lightwood, is another major character in the series. An orphaned Shadowhunter who lives with the Lightwoods at the Institute in New York City. He is said to be the best Shadowhunter of his age, having been trained severely by his father prior to his death.
He is described as having wavy golden hair, eyes (which only look golden in the light), and skin, as well as having scars all over his body from countless fights. He has a peculiar star-shaped scar on his shoulder, which is revealed later in the series as a marker of
having direct contact with an angel, and also as an indication that he was part of the Herondale bloodline. Clary describes him as having an angular face(high cheeckbones, a big jaw, and a flat chin), she also says it is that of an angel.

Simon Lewis: is Clary's formerly-human, vampire best friend, who has been in love with her for several years. In City of Ashes, he is stabbed in the throat by Valentine, which is very nearly the cause of his death; however, he is saved by Jace soon after, who allows Simon to drink his blood and heal. After that event, because of the components of Jace's blood, he is able to be in direct sunlight without any damage. Because of this, he is called a "Daylighter". Simon is described as having dark hair with a crude haircut, pretty brown eyes, and crooked glasses. His physical looks are improved when he becomes a vampire, and his skin becomes paler and his eyes blacker, as well as losing the necessity of glasses. He has a witty, sarcastic sense of humor, as well as being eclectic because of his obsession with video games and his ever-shifting band.


Valentine Morgenstern: the books' main antagonist. A powerful and evil Shadowhunter. He turns up after several years when he was supposedly dead and attempts to steal the Mortal Cup from Jocelyn. He is also the real father of both Sebastian and Clary, and experimented on both of them, as well as Jace. Consumed by the belief that he must purify the Shadowhunter race and convinced of the righteousness of his cause, there is nothing he will not do to eradicate the earth of Downworlders. Joining forces with the demons, he has his son Jonathan, who is half demon and half shadow-hunter, destroy the defenses surrounding Alicante, which then allows his demon army to attack Alicante. In the end, when he kills his "son", Jace, he is in turn killed by the angel Raziel in compensation for his selfish deeds.


My favourite characters are Cary and Jace, of course! haha I love them! When I thought that Clary and Jace were silblings I almost fainted.

Fix you is one of my favourite songs. I learn to play it by piano and sing it at the same time as well =)


This is Fix you with its lyrics! It is nice!




Opinion Essay



Have we almost learnt to respect our world ?

I disagree with this idea; we haven’t learnt to respect our world yet. In my opinion, we have a lot of things to learn, like: protect our planet of global warming or act for a good sustainability.


It is clear that governments are now occupied with the global crisis, but

they shouldn’t forget the environment. They are very worried about how to arrange their countries, but they are forgetting about the world. However, we should help our planet to improve, organize some searching for other resources other than oil, nuclear energy or thing like that.


I also believe that businesses between governments of the entire world should focus on protecting the world we have, underside of fighting or wee who’s the best country. Sometimes they only care about their country. I think it is okay in some extent, but we must also hold the world itself.


In conclusion, I would say that developed countries should be the pioneers worrying about issues as they are the least having problems and they can do something for the world.
