grammar


I love swimming, which is my favourite sport. I think is the best sport in the world and I can't stand people whose only interest is football and basketball.

I broke my favourite book (Cartas para Claudia) which belonged to my cousin.

I went to a concert where I saw my favourite group Despistaos.

A place that I like is Australia, where I hope to go some day.

In December I went a concert of Despistaos, who are my favourite band.
