The bathroom was occupied, so I wait outside while I talked with one of the boys who lived in the house. Suddenly, I heard a noise, so I turn my head for look. When the door opened, a naked boy left the bathroom. He shouted. Poor boy! I started to laugh while he said 'Please, go to your bedroom, please!' I went upstairs still laughing. Later, he called me to enter the shower. It was a great travel!

SOME ANECDOTE /THING I LIKED / THING I DID NOT LIKE / REFLECTION / COMMENT ABOUT THE CLASS
__**Anecdote**__

When I was three years old, I was sleeping for the first time in a bed. My mother went to prepare the lunch, and I was started to move my legs and arms, so my body moved and I fell. I rolled up under my bed and when my mum arrived, she didn't find me. He started to shout. I got scared and I started to cry. My mother was very frightened!

__**Thing I liked**__

I liked the class of Halloween, because Ciaran showed us some customs of his country. Also, we watched a video of food. It looked good! I thought we would see a film, but the class was quite well.
