MY FAVOURITE HORROR MOVIE

I don't like horror movies, so I haven't got a favourite one. But the only one I've ever seen is The Purge.

The film is about a night in the USA where every crime is legal, so everyone can kill or steal. It happens in a rich family's house, and they can protect themselves with a good security alarm. Then, a boy disarms the house to save a man, but then there are people that say that if they don't give them the man, they will die. It's more a killing movie than a horror movie, but I liked it because the concept is very original but also a bit weird that people wish to kill just to satisfy themselves.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES TEST

I agree with the results because I like languages and reading books, and I'm also very good at it. I hate Biology, Maths and Art, so it says I've got very low results at Logical-Mathematical, Visual-Spacial and Naturalistic intelligences. I'm intrapersonal smarter than interpersonal which is also true. For Linguistic intelligence I can work as a writer, reporter or translator. I can't work as an artist, mathematic or biologist.

MY HERO

My hero is Anne Frank. She was a German jewish teenager who hid herself with her family and some friends in a small concealed room during the second world war. They were there for two years: from 1942 to 1944. Then, someone betraied them and they were arrested by the Nazis. They went to a concentration camp, were Anne died.

Her father, Otto Frank, was the only member of the family who survived after the war. He returned to the Amsterdam house and published the diary that his daughter wrote during the time she was hidden behind a bookcase.

I look up to her because although she was scared of Hitler and the Nazis, she tried to be positive and dream about her future. In her diary she says that her dream is becoming a famous writer, and despite the difficulties, she reached it.

I'M A PORCUPINE

The test I took in the webpage animalinyou.com says I'm a porcupine. Maybe I'm a bit like this animal because I'm introverted.

I think some of the characteristics of the porcupine define a little bit who I am. I'm very thrifty and practical, I don't like to complicate things and I always go to the easiest way.

I don't like the careers they gave to me because I hate depending on other people, and I also don't like Maths or Economy. (Collections agent, bureaucrat, administration, politician)

I enjoy reading and watching films, which are hobbies they gave to me but I don't like painting or photography because I'm very bad at it.

MY DREAM

One of my biggest dreams has always been taking part in a ONG, because I think there's a lot of injustice in the world, like poor people dying of hunger in some places and other people spending lots of money in things they don't need.

I would also like to travel the world and see the cultures, different languages and meet new people. My father was in a ONG when he was younger, and he told me it was funny and really interesting knowing different cultures. He travelled to Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Ivory Coast, and there he stayed in other people's house. They were really friendly and kind, although they didn't have money. He's got a really good friend from Ivory Coast!

If I could join a ONG, I would try to be cooperative and very hardworking, helping with anything I could: building  schools, houses and other buildings, cooking and delivering food, etc.
