My last article!


Yes, it's the end. I am not writting anymore on my blog. I am done with my 700 words. I will not write on this blog anymore. For my last article, I will tell my opinion about this project. I think it was a good idea but at beginning we where suppose to have time during classes. In my opinion, it's an original way of doing english exams. I think it's more entertaining then writing on a paper sheet with a pen. I enjoyed expressing my passions, hobbies and sports I like. Thanks to everyone who rode my article! Have a good day and I am very happy that I have finally this project.

I want my driver license!




I want my driver license so bad. I can get it since this summer but now I realize that I really need a car. Not only to go to work but for school and to enjoy driving. I consider my self lucky that I am not in the new law! The new law says that it will cost 1000$ for driving classes so it almost double. Hours of classes will be 24h instead of 12h for theorical and practical classes. I will get my driver license soon because I will start my practical classes next week and right after I am done with the classes I will ask to pass the exam to drive. I think I will practice a lot before doing my exam so I will be comfortable driving. I already have my car, it's a Toyota Corolla 1990 , yes I know it's not young be it's a good car and it's only for the time I budget money.

Skateboard


Skateboard is one of the sport I like. Three years ago I was doing skateboard the whole time with my friends and my cousins. Me and my friends was recording our stunts and tricks and everything. I think that skateboard was the very first sport I ever started because I have an older cousin that is very good in skateboard. He was getting money and clothes to do skateboards for movie and photo-shoots. His name is Dominique Girard and he is 23 years old. My cousin was my idole when I was young because he was very good at skateboarding so he teach me skateboard. Now, my cousin quited skateboard to go study at school. This is my cousin on the picture !

Snowboard



Like a lot of people I am making an article on the snowboard.It's a very popular sport, I think because it gives adrenaline when you hit a jump or when you go at high speed. I like to do snowboard everywhere. It can be at a mountain or at spots in Donnacona. I am doing snowboard for 6 years now. Two years ago I broke very hard my right arm at my last go before going home on a big hit. After that I stopped doing snow for 1 year for my arm and the basketball. This winter I am starting again snowboard. I like it! I am a little rusted but It will not take a lot of time to get my skills back. Last week, I went to "Le Relais" with my friends and I enjoyed it a lot. I can't wait to take my board on the snow! Soon, I want to start twin-tips ski. It's looks fun to do, I am planning on buying twin-tips ski soon. You what do you prefer ? Snowboard or Ski ?

TUNES UP!



Let's talk about something I like ! Music, yeah I like music since I am a little kid. There is different style of music. Variety is what I like in music, there is a lot of choice so it's easy to hook a style you like. For me Rap and Hip-Hop are the only things I am listening at! I can tell you a lot about them. Let's name some artists, Snoop-Dogg, The Game, Xzibit, 50 cent, Cypress Hill, I think everyone ever heard these names. But that's not what interesting me. I like "no name" artist some time you can get good tunes and French Rap or Quebec Rap. I am listening to QC Rap all the time. Now,wich style do you prefer ? Who is your favorite artist?

Egypt


Pyramids, sands, sphinxes, crocodiles and the sun here I come !

If I had money and time, I would like to visit Egypt. Since I am young I want to visit Egypt. For me, Egypt is full of mysteries and beautiful landscapes. But, I want to visit a very specific place in Egypt it's called Aswan toward south of Egypt.

Why ? Beautiful landscapes and cultural attractions ! Aswan doesn't only haves beautiful landscapes it also haves Aswan's Old Cataract Hotel. This hotel is on a bend in the Nile. Agatha Cristie wrote a book where the story is happening in this hotel in Aswan. It's a very mysterious hotel so I would like to visit it. I don't know a lot about this place because I want to keep it mysterious before I visit it in the future.

While I will be there, I want to do 4x4 truck rides in the desert, ride camel, visit pyramids and museums and I would like to see real crocodiles. This is a few activities I would like to do.

Thanks for reading I hope you learned something from this text.

American Football





American football is a competitive team sport that uses strategy and physical play.The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. You can score points with running play , passing play and field goal. A field goal is when you kick the ball between the field goal net. The professional league is called NFL ( National Football League ) . In football, there is the offense , the defense and the special teams that are needed for punting the ball , to make a field goal , for the kick off and for the kick return. Usually, football game duration is four 15 minutes quarters for NFL. In football there is a lot of rules, if you don't follow them you will get penalties. Penalties in football consist of losing yard on the field or gaining yard for the team that is not taken in fault. There are 12 players of each team on the field at the same time so it makes a lot of people on the field.

I chose to make a personal entry on football because I like this sport , I played for 6 years and I wanted people to know a little bit more about this sport !
