Fighting for your rights

  This text is about the fight of women to have equal rights as men. This women were called suffragettes. They protested on the streets, interrumped political meetings and smashed windows. Often they went to prison, but they still protested by refusing to eat.
  With the First World War, women had to work because there weren't so many men. This hasn't been ignored by the Parliament. The women over the age of thirty were allowed to vote. Ten years ago, women over eighteen years could vote. It was in 1928. In New Zealand, women had voted since 1893. Spanish women had to wait three years to have the right to vote. Finally, in 1931, spanish women had the right to vote.

Cleopatra VII

  Cleopatra Filopator Neo Thea was the last queen of the Ancient Egypt and of the ptolematic dinasty.

  She was born in Alesandria, Egypt, in 69 b.C.. She was very clever and beautiful. She was Cleopatra V Trifena and Ptolomeo XII Auletes' daughter. Cleopatra inherited the throne in 51 b.C. with eighteen years, beside her twelve years-old brother, who married with him, Ptolomeo XIII.
  They fought and she was desthroned. She met Julius Caesar, because the romans went there to the Alesandria War (48-47 b.C.). Pompeyo and Ptolomeo XIII died. She returned to the throne next to her other brother, Ptolomeo XIV, thanks to Julius Caesar, her lover since 46 b.C..
  After the murder of Julius Caesar, Marco Antonio came to Egypt in 44 b.C.. Cleopatra seduced him, because she didn't want to have a confrontation with the romans, and that was the way to get it.
  Marco Antonio died in 31 b.C., and his new successor, Octavio Augusto, arrived in Egypt. Cleopatra tried to seduced him, but it was impossible.
  Augusto took her to Rome as a loot. She said to her maids to gave her a asp, a very poisonous snake, and she commited suicide in 30 b.C.

My life

  I was born in Malaga in 1998. I live in a place called Santa Paula, in front of Parque del Oeste. I've lived there since I was born. It's a very beautiful place. I haven't got any brothers or sisters, I'm an only girl.
  I'm not sure what my earliest memory was. I think that it was when I was in the beach with my family. I was playing with my cousin to build sand castles. I also remember my first dy at school, with three years. There were a lot of children, that today, they are with me on Secondary School. I remenber that Gema and I were always arguing.
  Now, I have changed since I was young, my hair has a different colour, because when I was a child, I was blonde. Also I'm more sociable and mature. When I finish Secondary School, I'll go to the university and after that, I'll work. In the future, I will go to Italy, because I love its cities. I want to go to Florence, Rome, Venice, Pisa, etc. Also, I want to go to Bularia, to visit my friend Adrian. I miss him a lot. We talk everyday but I want to see him again.

Writing

 I'm Silvia Ruiz Vargas, fron Malaga. I'm interesting in animals, adventures, challenges, etc. I've had some experiences, like going to other countries and speaking the language that they talk. I've always wanted to go to Norway and learn their language. Also I've wanted to visit Bergen, because people said to me that it's a very beautiful place.

  I'm the perfect person to go to Norway because I'll learn a lot of things of their culture, language, cities, people, etc.
  If I win the competition, I won't dissapoint you!
