The highlight of this week's TV was definitley the view programmer shown "El Convidat". The guest was Bojan Krkic. He showed his home, Roma and he was talking about his feelings because he lives lonly in Italy.
On channel 3 another view programmer "El Hormiguero". The guest was Taylor Lauther. the actor of Twilight. He talked about his new film "Sin salida", and the new part of Twilight. he also did an exeriment. It was really funny.
Finally, something which also caught my eyes was a soap opera called "El Barco". it's about one boat which is lonley in the world and the persons who are in the boat must fend for themselves to survive. it was an interesting story.

My best friend

Clàudia and I are friends. Clàudia lives far from me, but we live in the same town. She lives in a modern house. We go to the same school and the same class.
Clàudia is 14 years old. She is shameful, friendly, responsible, tall and she's got long blond hair. The good things about her is that she's funny, I can talk a lot of things with her and she keeps my secret, although she can also be stubborn, sometimes, and she isn't very athletic.
Clàudia is funniest and happiest when she's chatting, joking or meeting friends. She likes going out and meeting other people. In our town there's a lake and we often go walking around there. she also like shopping, and sometimes we go together.
