__**The Joe Emmanuel's Muddy story**__ Long time ago, in the centre of the Caucasus Mountains, there was a small village, Beniparrell, where each year the people celebrated a big contest. The great contest involved going into a big mud lake, where, hidden in the dark and deep bottom was a bag full of dollar bills, millions of dollar bills.

Joe Emmanuel was a little boy who had a little shack in the middle of the forest. He and his family were poor, and his father worked all his life for the same man, the rich and evil Mourinho.

One day, Mourinho dismissed Joe’s Father, Rubens. All the money he could have won with the job then, were all dreams. But Joe Emmanuel said to his father: he who laughs last, laughs best. I will avenge you said the little boy to his father.

The day after, Joe said bye to his father and went through the forest to find a solution, he didn’t know where he could find one, but he had hope.

He walked for days, weeks and months and finally, when he thought he was going to die, he found the little village of Beniparrell. At once he saw a poster on the church’s door. “The great muddy contest will be celebrated today in the big muddy lake, with $$$ for the winner”. Running like he had never done it before he went to the muddy lake and he putted his name down in the list. At two o’clock the Beniparrell’s Mayor gave the starting shot and all the people went into the lake. After ten long hours, the little Joe Emmanuel went out with the big bag, all the people in the village were singing his name in unison, it was awesome.

Two months later, Joe Emmanuel came back to his town. When he showed the bag to his father and said to him they were rich, his father ran till Mourinho’s house and bought Mourinho’s company.

Now, the evil Mourinho is working in the Mansion of Joe Emmanuel and Rubens as a housemaid.

**__Bad__** **__luck__** The other day when I was walking down the sidewalk near the beach, I saw a bunch of people together __** in the sand **__. They formed a circle and in the center ........ were two girls fighting in the sand. __This show that had attracted the attention of many people was that the girl, who won the fight, got a prize of 6000 dollars. //(this sentence sounds clumsy)//__ The girls were wet and it seemed .......... they were struggling in the mud, I went closer to see the show better and in a careless moment a girl slipped and fell on me, **spotting me with ** a mixture of sand __**I ????**__ water, similar to mud. The fight had finished __(why past perfect???),__ it was time to go home ...... I ran back home and ** change ** because I had an appointment with a girl and that was not the best way to introduce myself. Fortunately I had time left.

__//** TORREVIEJA **//__

My friend Ryan McGregor lives in England and I met him in a student’s Exchange. This summer Ryan traveled to Spain and he wanted to stay here for two weeks. One day we got up early because we were going to go to the festival__**s**__ celebrated in Torrevieja. When we arrived there we went to eat in a bar where we saw two very pretty girls. As we drank a few beers, we heard from two men, who were next to the girls, __who was about to start the competition of the pig //(it´s not clear if the men or the girls were to start the competition)//__//.// The name caught our attention and I asked what it was. He told us that a group of men make a competition to see __who hunted before the pig in the mud(//what do you mean?)//__//.// At that time I looked at Ryan and I did sign up for the contest. I convinced him to go **..........** see the competition, __and I brought him to enjoy seeing the competition(//rephrase it - it sounds clumsy)//__//.// At that moment the door opened and one man gave him a rope. __Surprised he looked at me //(change word order)//__//,// he started laughing and ran to follow the pig.In a few seconds he was covered with mud __up to his ears__ (//it´s a Spanish phrase - **from top to bottom**//). That day Ryan had a good time, especially because the girls who were in the bar saw him and came to talk to him.

I arrived __to__ the last bus stop, ............... the closer bus stop to the beach, so I decided to call the school to say that I was ill. I looked around me, and I saw a group of people in a big circle, I __ couldt __see anything of what was happening inside, so I __ walk __ until __the middle of that circle //(sounds clumsy - until I was in the middle),//__ I saw a man with a microphone asking people if they wanted to earn some money, he asked me and I said yes of course! , he said that it was just to win a challenge, the guy __putted //(inventing grammar, aren´t we:) ?)//__ me next to a portable swimming pool full of mud. I was waiting until another competitor arrived, the guy with the microphone started to talk in front of one camera, he told us the rules:

 * 2) the first person to find the stones will be the winner
 * 3) we couldn’t hit the other competitor
 * 4) we couldn’t throw mud out .... the swimming pool

He was sorry because I lost the competition, but he said that it was funny to watched me

Throughout the first part of the football game, the players had been playing in the mud. Next, in the second part, the referee of the match went to his house, and the players could not play without him. As there appeared, my friend John volunteered to lead the football game. I had been seeing, as my friend John was trying to walk through the mud and fell over and over again. I laughed at him throughout the match. In the end, when he finished the football match, my friend John that he had been playing as referee, he was covered of mud. When we arrived at his home, he ran to shower, but now he still have some mud in his hair. We never will go through that park again.
