Hello, have you read the book written by Greg Heffley? If you have read it, now you will

discover the truth and if not ... Don´t waste your time!

First of all I think I should introduce myself, my name is Rowley Jefferson and peoplethink that I'm Greg’s best friend but this is not true. It is really just the opposite; I can ´tstand that kid. He believes himself very clever and very graceful and entertaining but, in

my opinion, he is only an insecure boy.

One day, long ago, I decided to start making his life impossible, which is what he used todo with me. He thinks that I´m a stupid boy or something similar, so he doesn’t suspect

anything. Now I will tell you the truth behind Greg’s stories:

August

Last summer I invented a story about a piece of cheese, I´m sure that you know Greg´sversion but the reality is that I put that slice of cheese on the basket court and I invented a

ridiculous rumor about that. Nowadays, I think I´m surrounded by stupid high school

mates because all people believed the story and Greg became obsessed with it.

September

I paid 20 bucks to Rodrick (who is Greg´s older brother) and he woke him up in the

middle of the night (he is my greatest ally in this war, he is a perfect soldier, of course as

innocent as Greg)

November

I cheated his mother saying he'd get a very good mark if he sang in the play "The Wizard

of Oz". Of course his mother believed me (remember I am an innocent guy) and Greg was

forced to participate in the play. It was one of the best days in my life. What a ridiculousboy!

The best: May

Do you remember the slice of cheese? OK, I hired a couple of thugs and they made Greg believe that I had eaten the slice of cheese, but it was part of my plan… Nowadays Greg is

feeling guilty and he does everything I tell him.

Dear Diary,

When I woke up this morning I thought that today was going to be anordinary day. I always have to sign autographs, have photos taken with myfans and run away from paparazzi. Although I enjoy doing most of thesethings, I am quite tired of being kind or having a smile on my faceeverytime. But as the day passed I realised that I was totally wrong.

I’ll tell you about it from the moment I went out early in the morning. I was

wearing a hat and sunglasses in order to hide my identity while I waswalking down the crowded streets. Everything was going right because nomany people recognised me.

After work I went to a small café where I only wanted to have a tea. Idrank it and I went to pay the bill. While I was waiting in the queue Inoticed that I had forgotten my purse at home. I didn’t know what to do

and I was starting to feel very embarrassed. A really handsome guy whowas in the café saw what was happening to me. The boy came close to

me and helped me by paying my tea. I felt pleased but amazed becausehe didn’t know that I was a famous actress. I supposed that he hadn’t seen

the advert of my last movie, which is being a hit among young peoplethese days. Because of that, I got interested in him and I decided to returnthe favour by inviting him to have lunch with me tomorrow.

Now I can’t stop thinking about my date. I’m very nervous and happy. I’m

looking forward to meeting him but I’m afraid of how he will react when he

finds out who I really am. For the moment I will tell him nothing about the

truth.

Monday night

It's too late.... but I start to feel sleepy. Buff... I don't feel well. If I hadn't been

to the party last night, I wouldn’t have a headache...

Today was Monday. After the weekend it is always hard to start the week

again.

In spite of being Monday, this is a pleasant moment for me because it's the

only time of the day I have to write my diary.

This morning I got up very early, more or less at 5:20 a.m. It should not beallowed to get up at this time!!! For one moment I thought: If I won the a

lottery I wouldn't work in my life. But It doesn't matter, I'm very happy

anyway.

As every morning, I didn’t have breakfast but I had a shower, brushed my

teeth, made up, you know....

I left home at 6:20 a.m. It takes me an hour to drive to work.

Today my workmate, Ana, was off sick, so I had to do everything alone: to

open the offices, switch on the computers and the lights...The president and the rest of the staff arrive for work at around 8:00 a.m., so I

only have a few minutes to read the newspaper.

After that, harder work begins. The phone keeps ringing; I organize the visits

of president...

At 11:00 a.m. a coffee break until 11:30 a.m.

At midday, a meeting with my boss to discuss pending matters.

I got home at 15:00 p.m, very tired but my meal was ready.

After lunch, I took a nap for one hour and I put on my swimsuit and ran to the

pool.

Finally, I went to my English class until 22:00 p.m., which is when I get home

for dinner.

Once I have eaten, it is my favourite time of day because I can watch TV, read

my current book, or write my diary.

Good Night!

SUNDAY. 18/04/10

This is my diary, the place where I save routine. Like each night,I’m going to write what happened today.Today is my favourite day of the week because it is Sunday! My owner’s cousin comes, and they give me a bit of fresh fish, and it’s the only day of the week when I can drink milk. I love eating, so it is a big gift to me.If you haven’t guessed it before, I’m a cat. My name is Figaro. My owner thinks that I’m an only a good company, but I’m moreintelligent than he thinks.I’m going to continue. Today, I got up and I had breakfast like therest of the days. My owner’s cousin came and gave me five sardines,my favourite fish! I was very happy when I realized something.Somebody new had gone into my house! She was beautiful, with very long grey fur. Her eyes were green and her tail was very long.

Yes, she was the cousin’s cat. I had never been with a girl before,because I have been in this house since I was born. In part, I’m jealous of dogs because they can go out for a walk, but I am always shut in the house.Well, I went to talk to her and I was disappointed, she couldn’t speak! I am the only cat in the world that can speak! Well, you can think that cats can’t write a diary, but I can.In the afternoon, she left home and I continued my routine. It was

time to practise sport with my ball. It is my favourite toy, although my owner is always buying me things that are stupid, like a kind of plastic doll that he bought me last week. What can I do with a plastic doll? Anyway, I played with my ball and when I finished, I had dinner. It was fantastic and then my owner gave me strokes. I love it! And then, here I am, writing, at the end of the day. I will continuetomorrow. Good night!

DIARY OF A HOMELESS PERSON

APRIL Monday

Today it’s the first day I will sleep in the street. This morning I

was evicted from my house. I haven’t worked for over two years, so Ican’t pay my mortgage and my bills and the bank took my flat.

TuesdayYesterday, in the evening, I went to Anna’s house. She is a

childhood friend whom my family helped a lot when she moved from

another country and was alone in own city.

I explained my situation to her but she didn’t understand it; she

didn’t want to help me. She said her house was too small.

I was very sad after Anna was so ungrateful with me. Now she

has a big house and she lives alone.

Two hours later, I found a bank in a central park. The truth is I

was awake all night long; I only could think and cry.





2010

Wednesday

This morning, I got up very early. The weather in the morningwas very cold, so I went to the social services and I asked for some

hot food. I felt very exhausted because of lack of food and lack of

sleep.

After that I was in a library; I went there because I wanted to read

the newspapers.

Then, I looked for a cardboard or an old blanket to cover at night

in the park.Thursday

Today I woke up thinking about how my life has come to this

point. I had had a very comfortable life. Nowadays, I have nothing: no

home, no job, no money, no food and no family to help me. I’m

desperate. I’m very worried about that.

Sleeping in the street is very difficult. Ishould ask for some money on a crowded

street in the city. From my point of view, it

will be the best option. Sometimes, I think this

situation isn’t real. It’s like a bad dream which

I want to wake up from.

TOM' S LIFE

MONDAY: I'm going to start writing in this diary because I think my life hasto change, and in my opinion the only way to do it is by writing about it.

I'm a man of 35 who was recently sacked from his last job. My boss didn't like

the time I used to get to work -normally an hour later- but that is other stuff.

So tomorrow I have an interview for a shoes factory or something like that. I'm

a bit nervous because I've been unemployed for 5 months and my little

daughter needs a new computer...

However, now I'm not going to worry about that because one good thing about

being unemployed is all the free time I can enjoy. So I'll do a bit of jogging inthe morning and then I'll relax a bit in the sofa....

TUESDAY: The interview has been a complete disaster.... First of all, the

appointment was at 12 o 'clock and I got there... (Try to guess...) at 12:45.

When I saw my possible new boss face I realized I was not going to be hired.

But that wasn't the worst...He told me that I should have a good level of

English to be able to do my job (I don't know why- I'm not going to talk to the

shoes) but when he asked me if I had it I said so and....he started to interviewme in English!

It was horrible because I just remembered a few words from the high school...

When I came home and my wife asked if my interview had been ok I tried to

lie to her but I think it wasn't unbelievable...

I hope my little daughter forgives me but I don't think that Internet is good for

her at all.

Due to that experience I've committed myself to learn some more English and

find a job as quickly as I can.I just have written here about two days in my life but I'm seeing that it isn't

improving, so...dear readers that's the end of my diary.





2010

Dear Diary,

Today I got up at 08.00 in the morning, I had breakfast with my brother Elvis and I got dressed while I was watching TV. Mum was telling me off for not having done my homework; well I think so, because I didn’t really hear what she was saying.

Elvis and me went to school in our new tracksuits singing the song of our favourite cartoon and suddenly Eri c’s father stopped his car to drive us to school… I think he’s the best father in the world….because he drove us to school although we aren’t his sons.

At school we did a lot of things: We learnt so much in maths and music, and we played a new game that the teacher taught us and that is so funny I should write down the instructions to remember how to play it. After school, I got home to celebrate Elvis’s birthday with all his classmates. We gave Elvis his presents and we also played at the swimming pool af ter taking a piece of the biggest cake I’ve ever seen.

When Elvis’s classmates left home Mum, Dad, Elvis and me went to the cinema to watch a film. The cinema was full of people and I think it should be a good film because all the people were telling inte resting things about the film. I can’t really tell anything because I fell asleep when I finished the popcorn. Mum gave each other 5 pounds to play on the videogames and we got back home.

When we arrived home, my grandparents were waiting for Elvis and me because we’re going to spend all the weekend with them. If I’m still alive, after eating the huge quantity of food that my grandmother prepares, I will continue the diary.

Diary of Boo, the ghost

SundaySunday afternoon; it‟s the best moment to start a diary. I‟m 10

years old. My name is Paul, but everybody calls me BOO. I‟ll explain

it later. Now, there is something I want to clear up right away. This

is not a diary of a live person. It is a diary of a dead person. I‟m a

ghost.

Everybody thinks that ghosts‟ lives entail walking through an oldhouse dragging a heavy ball. But it‟s not true. I live in a family, go to

school and play with other kids.

I live in a flat with my parents and my 4-year-old sister, Sara. All of

them are ghosts, like me. Dad and Mom love each other. However, I

hate when they start to caress. Look at them in the picture. It‟s

revolting!!!!





2010

Monday It’s me and my sister, Sara.

My sister and I go to a Public Ghost School. My teacher, Mrs

Thomson is a very nice. She is the only person at school that calls

me Paul. Everybody has called me Boo since the day that Mrs

Thomson explained the different ways to terrify live people.

We had to practice making noises with our mouth. My “BOO!” was

too loud. Other ghost-kids laughed at me. When Sara and I were

going home other ghosts shouted at me: „BOO!‟ Sara asked me whythey were shouting in this way. I replied that they were practicing

their shout. „No, they are calling you,‟ said Sara.

When I came into the class the next day, everybody said:

„Hello, Boo!!!‟

How that‟s it take, Boo!!! At this moment I realised that Boo would be my name at school for

ever.

02/01/10

Dear Diary,My name is Fred. Yesterday was the day I was born, so I can say I’m one day old !!: My

mother and my father are very happy with me, and I have one brother. His name is Tom.I’ve heard the nurse telling my mother that tomorrow we’re going home. I’m very nervous

to see how many toys I have in my bedroom!!

10/01/10

Dear Diary,

During these days I have met lot of persons who have given me and my mother presentsand chocolates. I’ve met my grandparents, my uncles and aunts and my three cousins.

Peter, the youngest, is crying all the time and, like me, he can’t walk either. I think he is

very young too. My grandmother Karen is kissing me all time!!

24/06/2010

Dear Diary,I’m writing you again to tell you that I can move me around the house on my own! Yes, I

crawl! And I think it’s fantastic because when my mother isn’t near me or she is busy Itouch whatever I want. It’s very funny!

21/11/2010

Dear Diary,Yesterday was the day I took my first step. I was in my grandmother’s kitchen looking for

something I could break down, when I saw the biscuits box. I was starving so I didn’t

realize that I was walking until my father shouted “Be careful!” If the biscuits box hadn’t

been there I probably wouldn’t have taken my first step.

01/01/2011

Dear Diary,Of course you know that TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. Yes, I’m one year old and all my

family and my school friends are invited to my birthday party. The year has gone very fastand I have learnt lots of things. I even can say “mum” and “dad”. I can’t wait anymore to

see all my presents!!





2010

I woke up this morning and got up stumbling on my way to the

bathroom, while I almost couldn't see it clearly, so I nearly fell down on thefloor.

I thought that was a bad sign knowing the hard day that was waiting for me.

Anyway I took a shower while I was imagining a mental scheme of everything

that I was planning to do today and I must have been very concentrated

because I could hardly notice that I'd put on my clothes and had breakfast and I

still kept my mind busy in my work schemes, as if I was still in the shower.

After that I started to organize my photography outfit and put it together in my

case. I don't know why but I have always thought that I need a bigger case for

all the accessories, it seems that there's not ever enough room for them.

Today I had hard work; the National Geographic ordered me to make a

graphic report about tigers in a National Park of Africa, but this time without

tele-lenses, that means that I have to get very close to them, which is kind of

dangerous. They want closer images of the tigers. But I couldn't say no tothem, not to the National Geographic; I’d be mad if I did that. It would be goodfor my CV and they don't pay little money. I've worked with them several

times and I think that there's mutual satisfaction about the works.

So I found myself in a jeep on my way to the National Park where I could find

those tigers for my report and I started to look for strategic places where I

could take the photos from, also knowing where these big cats usually got

around. And once that everything was set, I got ready to have my lunch,something really pleasant in this part of the world.

Finally the sunset was coming to the park and I could feel that my work would

begin. I didn't want to risk my life getting so close to a wild animal like this, so

I found very useful to use infrared sensors that would shoot the photos on their

own, like the alarm systems in houses work. After waiting for about 2 hours I

saw 2 tigers coming straight to the main point. They must have smelt

something strange to them because they behaved very curiously looking aroundreally anxiously. I was hidden on a branch of a tree, sure that they wouldn't be





2010

able to catch me, but seeing their size, I started to have doubts and got a little

worried.

Suddenly one of them went to the area where one of the infrared rays was, and

the click of a camera was heard by every being around in 4 meters. That's when

I noticed that the scene was so silent and, of course, the 2 tigers noticed that too

and got scared so they turned back and escaped. So I lost the best chance to

take more photos.

When I went back to the hotel, I thought that just one photo wouldn't be

enough for a report and I felt sad about that. Knowing that one photo wouldn'tbe enough, I even didn't check the photo. I did at the hotel and I got totally

amazed because it was a great photo as I'd never seen before in nature

magazines. I sent it to the National Geographic by e-mail and they said it was

more than enough and it would be the cover of their next number, though there

were not any more photos taken.

After a dinner with my colleagues and their congratulations I went to bed

feeling that some days like this I can be amazingly and rarely lucky, justbecause of one photo.

Diary of a child who was NOT born 23/05/09

"The Journal of a child"

October 5: Today I have started to live. Neither my dad nor my mom knows it yet. I'm smaller than apinhead and yet I am already an independent being. All my physical and psychological characteristicsare already established. For example, I will have Dad‟s eyes and Mom's wavy blond hair. Another thingthat is already established is that I will be a boy.

October 23: My mouth opens outwards. Within a year I'll smile when my father leans over my crib. Myfirst word will be "mom."

October 25: My heart has begun to beat. So has its function begun without ever stopping, without ever

resting until the end of my life. This is truly a miracle. I'm happy!

November 12: Fingers and toes are now appearing in my little hands and my small feet. With these I'llown the world.I can imagine playing in the cradle with Daddy and I dream with messing up mom´s hair.

November 20: Today for the first time, my mother has heard my heart, which leads me in her midst (??).I imagine how great your joy will be! You will jump for joy.

November 25: Now you can see I'm a baby. Surely my parents should be fighting for choosing a name.How much I would like to know! What will I be called? Who will I look like, mom?

December 12: I‟m growing my hair and eyebrows. My mom will be very happy with her little boy...

December 13: Very soon I can see, but my eyes are sewn, as with a thread. The light, the flowers, thecolors ... It must be wonderful to see all that. Above all, I am filled with joy to know that I will be able tosee my mother ... Oh, how long I have to wait yet! More than six months, I am eager to know...

December 24: My heart is perfect. There must be many children who enter the world with a sick heart.Thanks God mine is healthy. I will be a child full of strength and life, maybe to meet my grandparentsand receive affection. Everyone will be happy with my birth...

December 28: Today my mother has killed me...

March, 23th

2010

It has been the most horrible day in my life. First, when I was taking a shower,

the heater crashed, so I had to take the shower with very cold water. Then mycar didn’t start, so I arrived late at my wor k. I thought that nothing could be

worse… but I was totally wrong.We had a meeting with our boss and he told us that there will be a lot of work

during the next month so we will be working at weekends during this time. He

doesn’t have a family, doesn’t he? Because I don’t know what my boyfriendwill think about my new working hours. I suppose that I will tell him tonight

during dinner. Well, I’m going to cook the dinner.

March, 24th

2010Yesterday, I told Robert my news… He told me to ask to my boss why we

couldn’t work extra hours during the week so we wouldn’t work at weekends.

It’s a great idea!!Today, in the office, I suggested this to my workmates and we decided to ask

to the boss about our plans. Well, he told us different things: he thinks that our

idea it's great, and he has been thinking the same. After half an hour he

confessed to us the previous night he had told his wife about the new hours and

she had threatened to divorce him... so he reconsidered "weekend work"(I love this woman!!)

So, at the end, we’ll work 3 more hours every day, and if it’s necessary, we’llwork at weekends, but not all of them.

April, 2nd

2010

During last week, I didn’t have enough time to write anything… but today I’m

writing because I have very fantastic news: next Easter holidays Robert and me

are going to go to Holland for one week! I’m so excited. I’m going to phonemy parents to tell them my news. Bye!!

GONZALO´S DIARY

DAY 1:

It´s my first page of the diary, and here I´m going to talk about

myself day by day and about the things that happen to me every

day.

Today I had school so I had to get up at 7 oćlock and now I´m

very tired. I had Maths, English, French, etc...The best class was

P.E. because we played a football match and I love football so I

had a good time.

We finished school at 2.25 so I came back home quickly because in the afternoon I had to

train with my football team. Its name is River Plate and it is the best autonomous region

team. We trains for an hour four times a week and we´ve got some good players. Today

we played a match between the usual starters and reserves. At 7 oćlock I came back home

with Nacho who is my best friend. Nacho is really funny and we were laughing about his

jokes all time.

When I arrived home I did my homework and I had dinner with my parents and I chattedwith my friends for half an hour. I’m going to finish writing for today because I want to goto bed, so good night.

DAY 2:

I´ve just got up and had breakfast. It’s 7.15 and I´m asleep but I have to go to school soon

because the first class is with Manuel, who is my maths teacher, and I don´t want to be

late. I´ll continue writing in the afternoon.

I´ve just arrived from school and it has been a good day. I talked to Maria most time in the

morning and in the afternoon we have to do a piece of schoolwork about the history of our

city. I have to be in his house in an hour but I have to buy some cards and sheets so I´m

going to go now. I´ll write more in the evening.

It´s 9 oćlock and I had just arrived home from Maria´s house. We did great work, and I

think we will get a good mark. I’m going to have dinner and then I´m going to go to bed to

finish my day.





2010

DAY 3:

I didn’t write in the morning because I didn´t have time to do it. I got up late and I arrived

late at school. My parents scolded me and also my teacher did the same. It wasn´t a good

morning but I think I will have a good training session in the afternoon so the afternoonwill be better.

I´ve just arrived home, and I had a good training session. Tomorrow we will play a match

against Santos F.C. and we should win, because they are our rivals. Tomorrow I also haveto give our work to the teacher. My parents are calling me to have dinner so... I’ll continue

tomorrow

DAY 4:

I feel very happy! I got a 9 in our work and we also won the football match. I scored the

last goal and we finished 3-2. I don´t have time because I´m going to celebrate all thesethings with my friends, so I will continue tomorrow.

Diary of a...

DAY 1Nothing. All around is dark and cold, more than that, it is freezing. I couldsay I am the only creature in here. I can’t see or hear anything. I amstarting to feel nervous about it. It’s been a long time since I was herealone; I can’t even remember for how long.

DAY 2A kind of magic happened today. I felt something that I’d never felt before,a fresh liquid came from I don’t know where; I think it might have comefrom above. The thing is that this liquid touched me and my body startedto change in some way. At the same time, something was different aroundme; it was not as cold as it used to be. For the first time in my life I felt warmth, and that was really pleasant after such a long time being frozenin here.

DAY 3It is a fact: I am changing and I have a strange energy inside me. In mybody two appendixes have appeared one is growing up and the other (isgrowing) down. I am getting bigger and bigger, taller and stronger, but Istill see nothing and I wonder where I am going. My appendixes know, butnot me; they keep on growing straight towards somewhere. Its way is ahard way but they don’t stop. What an uncertainty!!!

DAY 4 Two days have passed since the incident with the magic liquidhappened.The appendix on the top is really thick and strong and itpenetrates quickly. I feel that each time it gets higher; I am nearer of theend of this mistery. The other apendix has branched and it goes in alldirections as if looking for something.

DAY 5Now I know. I have reached the top. An incredible light have inundated allaround. It comes from a huge round bright thing which is far away on ablue surface and it colours everything. I feel warm and free, and the bestof all is that I have realised that I am not alone here. I am surrounded bylots of creatures like me and that makes me feel in peace. I am stillgrowing up and I won’t stop, or maybe I will, I don’t know. Anyway, I’llcheck it out someday.

Friday: 2nd

October

I have decided to write my own diary because today is my birthday I have

just received this wonderful diary as a present from my grandmother Alicia.

Today is my 6 birthday and I am very happy. Last week I sent birthdayinvitations to all my classmates because I am going to do a fantastic birthday

party in my country house tomorrow with balloons,

clowns, sweets and a big birthday cake. I love sweet things and I am sure thatI am going to receive a lot of birthday presents from my friends.

Saturday: 3rd October

Today is a special day and I am really nervous, I couldn‟t sleep more than fourhours right through so I decided to get up early and help to cook until 14 h

and then get ready to welcome the guests.

Dear Diary,

I will continue writing tomorrow.

Sunday: 4th October

Yesterday was the best day of my fife, I am sure that I will never forget my

6 birthday,





2010

I saw my best friend Sofía, she lives in France because her parents aremonarchs, the King and the Queen of France, so it was a surprise to see her

here. What a surprise!!!.

I have always wanted to be a princess because I love pink dresses, crowns and

things like these and the more time I spend with Sofi, the more I realise thatI envy her life. I think it must be fantastic!!! .

Well, the party was marvellous and I, my classmates and Sofi enjoyed till nine

o‟clock when we had to finish the party because their parents were waiting

for them to go back home,

but fortunately I am with Sofi because she is spending a week with me and

my family and next week I am going to go with her to France. I will spend fivedays in “the castle” with my best friend, I would say that it is the best

present I could have received for my birthday,

I can‟t believe it!!!

The diary of Ned: My first week at school

Monday 1, September:

Today I have started at school. My name is Ned and I am 6 years old.

When I arrived in my new class, all the boys and girls were sitting in

their chairs. There was only one chair at the end of the class so I

started to cry. The teacher asked me: “Why are you crying?” I couldn‟t

answer him because I was very sad: I wanted to sit in the front!! When

Mr. Pott could find the cause, he told me: “You have arrived very late, so

you can‟t choose your seat!”

Then, in the playground I changed one seat in the front for ten picture

cards of “Spiderman”!

Tuesday 2, September:

Today we have painted a big cat. I´m very perfectionist so I thought

that a painted cat wasn‟t very realist. A cat would be better if I stuffed

it with hair. I looked for some hair in the materials box, but there

wasn‟t... so I decided to cut some hair from Meg's head: she has a lot!

Then I stuck it on the cat and it looked very real! But Mr. Pott didn't

liked it and he punished me...I don't understand it!!

Wednesday 3, September:

This morning in class we had to make a big toy animal with adhesive and

toothpicks. Billy, one of my partners, decided to put two

toothpicks in his mouth, like a vampire! He stuck it with the adhesive and

he was fantastic so I decided to stick it too...but Mr. Pott saw us and he

punished us...





2010

Thursday 4, September:

This morning I decided to take a little toy ship to the school! It was

very pretty and I decided to build a pool for it. Billy and me came into

the bathroom and we started to fill the washbasin with water. Then we

created big tsunamis with our hands; it was great!! the ship floated very

well!! But the water overflowed the washbasin and the ground started to

flood. We were really soaked but we were happy with the

experiment...but Mr. Pott didn't liked it....he doesn‟t have a scientificmind!

Friday 5, September:

Today we have been on an excursion. We have been to the Zoo! It was

great! Billy and I saw a lot of animals! We went in the lions‟ cage because

we couldn't see them very well. Everybody started to shout... I don'tunderstand it... we only stroked the lions a little...

My first week at school has been very funny!!

JUNE

Monday

First of all, I’d like to clarify that I’m a special car, because I have a solar panel on the hood, so I don’t

need gasoline. However I can only drive when it’s sunny, and if I had my druthers, I would have chosen

not to be a solar car, because people don’t want to buy me. But fortunately today a rich man went into

the shop and he said that he had to go to Almeria, so he wanted a solar car to spend little money.

So this was my first day outside and tomorrow I’m going to go to Almeria, is why I’m very excited.

Tuesday

My owner, Peter, and I are going to spend a lot of hours on the road, but the weather is perfect so I can

go fast and it will not take a long time to get there. Furthermore, I’m very comfortable, so Peter won’t

be tired when we get there.





2010

I was very happy because I’d never seen the mountains, but suddenly it started to rain so we had to stop

in an old hotel because I couldn’t drive more.

Peter was very angry, because he’s going to spend the money that he had saved when he bought me,

because he had to call the hotel from Almeria to say that would not arrive that night, and even so he

had to pay for it.

In addition the hotel was horrible, I couldn’t see the room, but it didn’t have a garage so I had to sleep

outside getting rained on.

Wednesday

This morning the rain had stopped but we had to wait a while because I was extremely wet. Then we

could continue. However there was a backup so I had to drive incredibly slowly and we arrived to

Almeria at night.Moreover we were lost for an hour because Peter could not get to the hotel, so when we found it, it

was too late so Peter couldn’t go to his room because he had to arrived at seven o’clock and he hadn’t

called to say that he was going to arrive late. That was why he had to sleep with me in the garage.

So he paid for two nights but he didn’t sleep there, and he was very angry.

Friday

Yesterday I stayed all the day in the garage, and I suppose that my owner spent all day in his room.

Today we spent the day at the beach and it was too big so people went to the sea by car, is why I stayed

on the sand. I’d never been on a beach and I think that it’s wonderful, I loved it and I’d like to live there.





2010

After that my owner had to clean me because it was windy so I was very dirty and the panel didn’t work

well. Yet he was very happy, so this night we went to a drive-in cinema, and we saw a horror film.

This day was the best day in my life.

JULY

Monday

The rest of the holidays were the same as that day. We always went to the beach and after that we

sometimes went to the drive-in cinema, or to a viewpoint from which you could see all the city.

I had so much fun, but now we are coming to Avilés and I think that I’m going to spend a lot of time inthe garage because there isn’t enough sun and he’s got another car, which doesn’t need sun to run and,

although it isn't ecological and is more expensive, it's more efficient.

AUGUST

Monday

I have spent a month in the garage and after that month I know that my life is a bit boring because if I

had been a normal car, I would have gone out more and Peter would have been happy with me.





2010

A NORMAL DAY

One more day I woke up like each day because I had heard a noise thatsomebody had made in the kitchen. I have always felt the need to know what is

happening at all times so I went there to see what he was doing.

Before having breakfast I like to be cuddled and I want somebody to prepare it

quickly to me, so for a short time I have to be affectionate and say a little

meow. And it works!

After that I was ready to follow my routine. First from time to time I stayed in

front of the windows to sunbathe but mainly because I have to control thatthose silly pigeons and seagulls don’t come here. It is hard work to frighten

them through the glasses. This is my house and I don’t like others to stay close

to my things. I haven’t told you before but I have a lot of great things so I haveto protect them. I have toys, blankets, cardboard boxes and a lot of balls but my

favourites are paper balls because they are lighter. And the most important are

my humans. In fact, from my point of view I am not their cat, they are my

humans and I have trained them very well. They care for me every day. They

do all that I want.

At first, when we played with a ball, they waited for me to bring it to them.

What they thought that I was? A dog? Now they have learned the lesson and

they bring me the ball all the times.

After lunch I had my long nap and later I tried to convince someone to play and

of course one of my humans took the bait. They can’t resist my look. I know it.

Later I spent my time doing something interesting like hunting a fly or

something like that until it was time to go to sleep again and someone took me

to bed. Actually I have a good life.





2010

Monday:

I have got up early this morning, just in time to see my favourite_ cartoons on TV, “The Simpsons”. My favourite character is Bart, becausehe’s funny and intelligent. He’s always joking.

Mum doesn’t like “The Simpsons”. She thinks that they aren’t a goodinfluence on me.

I have gone to the school by bus. I prefer to go on foot but it was too late.

In the afternoon I did a lot of homework and then I had my tennis class.I’m very bad but Dad thinks if I train very hard I will be a sports celebrity.I try but I don’t improve.

Tuesday:

Today has been a horrible day. I had a terrible French exam and theMaths teacher told me that I hadn’t passed my last exam. I have got ahorrible mark: 3 points.

I’m really sad.

Wednesday:

Oh! I’m really happy because I’m going to go to a birthday party onFriday!!!I hope that Mum will buy me a new dress for the party.

Friday:

This is the saddest day of my life. All my friends are at the party and I’min my room.Mum keeps me at home as a punishment because of my bad marks in thelast exams.

Mum is a witch!!

Dear Diary,I hate writing about my own life, but I think that today it is worth doing it.

I've been waiting for this day for a long time.I‟ll introduce myself, though you‟re just a notebook. My name is Aibileen and

unfortunately, I‟m black. I‟ve spent my life caring for white women‟schildren. Why was a special day today? Well, today was my first day not

working as a maid. Now in USA we are getting integrated into society, at

least we are trying it.

This morning I woke up at half past six, I dressed in white, as they had

told me, and with the nerves close to the surface, I left home bound thesupermarket in the white neighborhood. When I arrived, the boss shouted

„Hurry up Aibileen‟. He was such an active man, so some minutes later I

knew how the business worked.

All morning I was ordering drugstore products. The women who went there

never asked me anything about beauty products. They preferred mycoworker, who was white, as they were. Some of them called me names

thinking that I couldn‟t hear them. When Hilly, the white woman I had

been working for, saw me, she said to her husband, „How come? You‟rekidding! Aibileen is working here!‟ Actually, I don‟t mind it, I‟m happy

working as everybod y, not as a black woman. Now, I‟m free, and I feel free.

During the afternoon I had to charge the products and surprisingly most

of the people said to me „Keep the change‟. It‟s fantastic, though they do it

cause I‟m black, and for them, being black is being poor.

For many people this would be any day, but for my family and I, today has

marked a before and a after in our life. Society has finally realized thatwe are like the others and that being black doesn‟t mean being less.

23th

March 2010

That day was a special day because it was the first day after we had finished

the 2nd

term exams.

The people who had passed all the exams were free for 10 days but other

people had to study hard during the Easter holidays.

I, Ed, Josh and Cech had passed the exams so we didn´t have any school

homework. It was sunny and we went to the park to have a good time and play

football. We ran a lot and by the end we were sweaty.

24th

March 2010

That was the last day before holidays and we were excited, we finished the

classes at half past eleven in the morning so we met to play football again but

this time we played on a football field.

We played for 2 hours and when we finished I was exhausted. I scored four

goals but one of them was a disallowed one.In the afternoon we went out for a walk but we had muscle pains because it had

been a really hard match.

And here started my Easter holidays which will last_ from 25 March to 5 April.

The diary of a foreign child

I am fourteen years old, my name is Cristina and I had been living in Spain all my life,

but my family and I moved to Canada two months ago because my parents are

scientists and they started a very important project in a international laboratory herelast year.

At first they only were in Canada for a year so I stayed en Spain with my

grandparents but finally their jobs had to last for much more time. They decided that

I moved to Canada too.

I think this idea was the worst idea that could ever have had. I have all my friends in

Spain and I like my Spanish school very much. I haven’t got friends here yet and this

is the reason why I have started writing this diary. I need somebody or something to

tell my problems.

Today I have started at my new school. I was very excited all the weekend imagining

what it could be like. I got up very early in the morning, at 6.00 a.m., because classes

started at 7.00, so I am exhausted at this moment. I took the bus near home and I sat

up in one vacant seat, when we arrived I was surprised the school was a huge

building. I looked for my class for 30 minutes but I couldn´t find it. Fortunately a

teacher helped me. When I came in, the class had already started and the teacher

introduced me to the rest of the pupils in English, of course.

At 10.00 a.m we had a break but I didn´t understand the language very well and it

was very difficult for me to communicate. In fact, the others girls were a bit strangers

and they looked me as if I was oddbod.

Finally the school day finished and I returned home by bus too.

Today has been a disastrous day and now I am very depressed, I hope that tomorrow

will be better.

DIARY OF AN ENGLISH YEAR

Today I have started this diary to remember what the English year which begins tomorrow will be like. At

the end of the year I‟ll be able to look back and remember what has happened over the year once it‟sover.

SEPTEMBER

Tuesday

Today it was the first day of class. I haven‟t really done anything, I just had to know who was going to bemy teacher, and she told me the books that I have to buy. I'm going to have to spend about 50 € in them.We are many people in class. I have to face it up with courage.

Thursday

I've already started with the first theme of the book, although I haven‟t gone to buy it.At the moment it doesn‟t seem very difficult. I'm pretty optimistic and I think I can manage it. The onlyproblem now is if I‟ll be able to combine study with work. Both things will make it really difficult to take aday, so I predict a total failure.

OCTOBER

Wednesday

I've had classes for a month and I'm starting to realize the great difference in level between the past andthis year. I think that I should study more vocabulary. I still have the problem that can‟t find time for everything, but this can‟t get me down.

NOVEMBER

Wednesday

Today I begin to do tests. Each time I study English the more I know, the more I realize the little English Iknow. I'm learning vocabulary, and perhaps I'm getting better at reading and writing, but I‟m worse atlistening and speaking

DECEMBER

Tuesday

I have to study more and I have no time. I can‟t give up. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are thetests of this term. The course begins to turn uphill. My fear now is the speaking skill; every time I talk lessand I‟m very ashamed to speak in public, something that hasn‟t happened me before

Wednesday

Tests today have gone well, even though I believe I could have done better. I have to go over somevocabulary.

Thursday




Nervous and scared, but I did the oral exam. It was very short, because the teacher had no time. I wasthe last one and she didn‟t ask me many questions.

WednesdayFinally, this term is finished. It hasn‟t been too bad. I„ve got a pass, but turning over all this, I have to sayI am very fair. I need more time to study

JANUARY

Wednesday

Back to class. This term will be complicated because I have to do many business trips and I'll missclasses. Anyway, I‟ll try. I'm still motivated. I can‟t fail.

FEBRUARY

Tuesday

After numerous absences, I‟ve realized that I am delayed. Today I discovered a radio program inEnglish. I'll try to listen every day to improve my listening. But I still have problems when I need to talk.

MARCH

Wednesday

They‟ll give out the June exams. I have to register before the end of the month. Every time I learn morevocabulary. I have improved a lot in reading.

Tuesday

I‟ve finally registered. There are 3 months for the test and I see it difficult. Today I reviewed a test fromlast year and I don‟t believe I will be able to pass. I am very discouraged, perhaps I shouldn‟t haveenrolled. Even though I passed, it would be good to repeat. I don‟t want to move from a year if I‟m totally“lost”.

APRIL

Tuesday

Here come the tests again. Like the last time, everything went pretty well except the oral exam, which”has left me out”. An issue that I don‟t like talking about, even in Spanish. I don‟t believe I will pass inJune. Surely I won‟t go. I‟m very discouraged. I'm sure I will repeat it next year. I may have to go abroadbecause here it is difficult to improve in this area. If I compare myself to my classmates I don‟t see a bigdifference between us, but perhaps we are all alike at oral expression. Maybe all students will fail!
