    You can go to the fair, in the Corpus fair .
    You can get on in the treadmill and in the roller coast too.
    I will shoot, play and launch in the fair.
    I will listen to the music

    I will not dance very much
    I will see the stands.
    There are a lot of stalls in the Corpus. You can buy sweets dolls soft...

    I hope I will have fun.
    I will not get on the big wheel.
    I will get on the roller coaster.
    I will go to the corpus fair with my friends.
    The children shouted a lot in the Corpus last night.

    I will not get on the pot.
    Maybe I will rise horse.
    I will not get on the booster.
    I will not get on the witch´s train.

    I go out with my family in the Corpus normally but this year I couldn’t because my mom worked, so I was at home.
    I have travelled near Granada.

    I went to " los Cahorros" on Thursday morning. I liked it very much; the ways, the rocks, the holding bridge, the river....
    I went to my friend's house in the evening.
    I went to the cinema on Friday morning.
    I went to the fair in the evening.
    Today Saturday I´m doing my homework, later I will go to the fair.
    I will go to the pool with my friend on Sunday and my father will make a paella. He is a good cooker.

    Corpus Fair :

    The Corpus fair is a tradition of Granada. The fair starts on Monday before Corpus Christi's Tuesday. The Festival is usually in June, but their actual dates depend on Easter. The way to know the actual date of the Corpus Christis it's to count 60 days from Easter Monday and we'll get the Corpus Christi Thursday, the main day of the Festival.

    On Monday you can go to the fair. There are a lot of atractions and you can eat , drink and dance. It's funny! Some people dress up with the typical costumes . It's the first day , and the Corpus week starts with fireworks.

    On Tuesday , you can see the ''Tarasca'' procession . There are big-heads , dragons .. I went to the fair with Miriam , Daniela , Laura , Amparo and Linda. We got on the ''rana'' , dodgems ,on a water atraction , on '' la olla'' and on a roller coaster .

    All week long , in plaza Bib-Rambla , you can see ''Carocas'' They 're short poems or verses , where they talk about the importants year events .

    On Wenesday , I didn't go to the fair , but , I was with Marta and Estrella in my house , in the afternoon I was with Marta , then Estrella came to my house . We slept on my house.

    On Thursday it's when the centre of attention is for civic-religious procession ,bands , traditional dances … . I didn't go to the fair either , but , I was with Estrella , because Marta left my house in the morning. We saw Paranormal Activity ,it's a scary movie , when it finsished we took a bath on the pool . Then , Marta came to my house again , because her ear hurt a lot , and my father looked at it . Then we took another bath .

    On Friday I went to the fair, but, in the evening . At half past one I went to eat to Marta's house. We ate , and then , we dressed up , we took a shower , we saw Rec 2 , we did a lot of things . At nine o'clock we went to the fair . We got on the Aladelta , The Mistery Hotel and the ''Barco Vikingo''.

    On Sunday midnigth there is a ''castle'' of fireworks to celebrate the end of the fair.

    I hope my mum will go the next year on Thursday , because it is horses day.

    1. Marina, this is fantastic work. It's easy to see that you put a lot of time and effort into this composition. I went to the fair on Thursday but I wish I went on Friday and then maybe I would have seen you!

      A couple of things to help: First, bañarse means two things in English- "take a bath" if you are talking about la bañera, or "go swimming" or "go for a swim" if you are talking about a swimming pool or the beach. Taking a bath in the swimming pool makes me think of bringing your soap and shampoo into the pool, and I don't think that is what you wanted to say.

      Also, remember that we use "it" only when the sentence doesn't have a subject. So if in your first paragraph, you should say "The way to know the actual date of Corpus Christi IS to count," not "it's to count" because "The way" is the subject. And for Thursday, you should write either "On Thursday, the centre of attention..." or "Thursday is when the centre of attention." Days are a little difficult in English, so remember that "El jueves es/fue" is "Thursday is/was" but if you want to say "Voy el jueves," it's "I go on Thursday."
