WRITING JOURNAL 6

Reading...what a rich activity. I enjoy a lot having a book in my hands. Although I m learning a foreign language, I must confess that my favourite language is Spanish. It is very rich, so romantic and expressive.I read regularly since I was a child. I dont remenber when I learnt to read, but any kind of magazine, book or paper that was introduced between my hands, was very interesting to me. I had read many things, many books for children but the most I remenber is "Oliver Twist" wrote by Dickens. It is about the story of a child, Oliver, who doesnt have parents and is bad treated by people in gral. The story takes place in England, in those times where poor people were treated as animals. Charity wasnt a regular practise and children didnt have any kind of benefits. The protagonist suffers a lot, bad and spoilt people were present in his life, but hisgood manners were not invaded. One day, he accidentally meets a good man, who feels sth strange towards Oliver, sth that he couldnt understand or explain. After unfortunate episodes, this man loose the confidence he had towards Oliver and believed he was a bad child. But, as in many stories, the ending is a happy one.If you dont know the story, you re missing one of the best literary works
