1. What is a legend? 

A legend is a narrative that people tell as a true story. Sometimes the details are difficult to confirm, but usually the story names people and identifies locations. The person telling the story usually does not claim to be an eyewitness to the events, but heard it from someone who knows someone who heard it from someone who was really there... Legends often contain a moral or a lesson and are told to uphold the values of the community. They often involve supernatural or religious elements.

2. Was King Arthur only legend?

Yes, he was a legend because, Arthur wasn't exist. Maybe, there was a person similar.

A knight is a man given a rank of honor by a British king or queen because of his special achievements, and who has the right to be called 'Sir', or (in the past) a man of high social position trained to fight as a soldier on a horse

One day, a messenger from Leonesse arrived and said that Malagant had invaded the country. Then Arthur brought his troops to Leonesse and successfully defeated Malagant's forces.

Later, Lancelot came to me and he said that he felt guilty about his feeling to me. Finally I asked him for a kiss. When we were kissing, Arthur came into the room and saw everything. I felt so guilty. After that, Arthur wanted to talk to me. I explained him that I felt different feelings for him and for Lancelot. Then Arthur celebrated an open trial in the square. When we where there, suddenly Malagant invaded Camelot. He said that of the king did not swear lotalty , he would burn everything. Finally Arthur ordered to fight. At the end, Malagant's men shot him with crossbows.Lancelot Killed Malagant. The people of Camelot won the battle, but Arthur died of his wounds.

PART 4: WRITING:GIVING YOUR OPINION 

30% students in Catalonia don't get ESO Certificate.

Is our educational system being effective enough?
 Yes, of course!

Are students working hard enough?
yes, I think that the most of the students are working hard.

Are parents helping in the educational process?
Yes, there are a lot of parents that are helping in the educational process.

What's the average in your class?
It's around the 6 or 7, I think so.

Where's the problem? have you got any suggestions?

Writing:

I think that our education system is effective,but still it might be more strict because if 30 % of students in Catalonia don't have the ESO Certificate, it must be for some reason.

The students are working hard enough but sometimes, I think that we can work a little bit more. If we worked a little more, more students may have the ESO Certificate.

Some or most of the parents help their children with their homework. But also teachers(of other places), when the students finish the school they help them.

Probably the  average in my class is around the six or seven %. I think that we are a good class and we work a lot. 

Maybe the problem is that we sometimes waste our time talking or doing other things, but I haven't got any suggestions.

Write a summary of the story.

STORY:

 At the Cabot house, Hispanic locksmith Daniel Ruiz is changing the locks. He overhears Jean, who is frustrated having felt nervous about the two black men but refrained from saying anything to avoid appearing racist. At his home, Daniel talks to his daughter, Elisabeth, who is hiding under her bed after hearing a gunshot. To comfort her, Daniel gives her an "invisible impenetrable cloak". He then puts her to bed and then gets a page for another locksmith job.

Daniel replaces a lock at Farhad's shop, and tells Farhad that the door is defective. Farhad accuses Daniel of cheating him, and refuses to pay. The next morning, Farhad discovers the store has been wrecked and tagged with racist graffiti. His insurance won't cover the damage, calling it a case of negligence as he had been advised to replace the door. Farhad vows revenge, and discovers Daniel's full name on the discarded work order.

Dorri comes to see Farhad, who explains that he tried to shoot Daniel after looking his address up in a phone book, but Daniel's daughter somehow blocked the shots. He thinks that the little girl was his angel. Elisabeth believed she could save her father due to her 'impenetrable cloak', which is justifiable due to the inexplicable lack of gunshot wounds on her body. Dorri removes the pistol and ammunition revealing them to be blanks.

When Farhad tried to shot gun the daughter of Daniel, Elisabet, went with her father to protected him. She was scared.

Do they change? Why? Why not?
