WRITTING

Last year, I went on a walking holiday in Scortland with my three best friends.I
remember that was a beautiful day, and then, that unfortunate accident happened.
We woke up early and decided get going towards the mountain. When we got to the
mountain we were get hungry, so we decided to eat the sandwiches that we had
prepared that morning. About an hour later, when we finished eating, we started
walking down the path to come back to village which we had spent the night, but
suddenly the weather changed completely.
It started falling a heavy snow and we just could see 20 meters front of us. After
a while, the snow was getting deeper and it was difficult to walk for us. All of us
were confident walkers, so we knew that weather wouldn't be a problem for us, but
something happened we didn't expect. I heard someone shout from behind me, he was
Anthony who was lying on the ground. A rock had fallen over on his leg. As soon as
I heard him, I ran towards him. I wondered how everything had finished so. It
seemed a nightmare. My friend's leg seemed broken. Soon I took my phone and called
for help the services emergency. Ten minutes after, the mountain rescue team
arrived there by helicopter. Luckily, I always carry my phone with me. It saved us.
Immediately, Anthony was carried at hospital, where doctors told him that his leg
wasn't badly broken, so he didn't need to operate. We all felt very relieved.
The following day I gone to pay a visit my friend and he told me that he hope to go
on a walking holiday with us next year. I am so happy that everything went well.

Last year, I went to Monta�ita, and although I hadn't planned to go this I have to
say this the best place I have visited in the last years. Monta�ita is a village on
Ecuador's Santa Elena Peninsula, known for its beaches with strong surf breaks and
bohemian vibe.
Inicially, my classmates and I had planned to go to a conference about heavy
machinery engines in Guayaquil, but when we arrived over there we couldn't enter
the conference because some of my classmates had forgotten the invitation document,
and it was necessary to enter to the conference.

At the end, we all decided not enter. After a while, a classmate gave us an idea.
��Why don't we travel to Monta�ita?��, he said. Neither I nor my classmates had
prepared nothing to have a trip to the beach, but even so we all decided to go.
Luckily, we had enough money.

I remember that day was on Friday, so we could enjoy on whole weekend in Monta�ita.
In Monta�ita I dared to try surf. It was my first time practicing this sport, and
although I fell many times, after some tries I archieved to improve a bit in this.
Practicing this sport was a fabulous experience.
I think it was an unique experience, and I hope to make a trip like this again.

I remember once time I went to pay a visit my brother in Atacames, and we had made
a booking in a luxurious restaurant, because my brother's birthday was that week,
so we wanted to celebrate it in a big way. When we got to the restaurant one of
waiters told us that mantenance staff should enter for the restaurant's rear. I was
too furious. I can stand that someone treat me badly, but it's very different when
someone get involved with my family. I made a scandal there. I wanted to talk with
the manager and so I did. After a while he appeared. In spite of the situation he
was a quiet and kind person. Five minutes later I calmed down, but I still was
upset. I explained the situation and the restaurant's manager apologised. He told
us that they would give us back the money, and as apology, they would give us a
free service that night. We didn't accept that and we left from there.
