K’s first case
This book talks about a detective who is called K. She has to find who killed Sir Michael Gray. He was fifty-five years old and he was very rich.
There are five suspects: Lady Elizabeth Gray, Sir Michael’s wife; Colonel Fawcett, Sir Michael’s friend; Angela Everett, Sir Michael’s secretary; Andrew Cavell, Sir Michael’s brother-in-law; and Mrs. Nancy Flack, the Gray’s housekeeper.
There’s what happened: Sir Michael had dinner with four of the other people. Then he went to his study. He locked the door from the inside. He shut the window, too, and locked it from the inside. Then the housekeeper, Mrs. Flack, took some coffee to his room. She knocked again and shouted. He didn’t answer, so she called three of the other people. They knocked at the door, too, and shouted, but Sir Michael didn’t open it. They broke down the study door and went in. They saw Sir Michael’s body on the floor. He was dead.
K started to analyze what happened and the clues.
Then, she talked to everyone, one by one, to know what they did.
Here are the reasons for the murder: Lady Elizabeth murdered her husband because she was jealous of Angela Everett. Colonel Fawcett murdered Sir Michael because he didn’t want to pay back the £50,000. Angela Everett murdered him because wanted £100,000. Andrew Cavell murdered Sir Michael because he wanted to save his firm. Nancy Flack murdered him because she didn’t want him to run away with Angela Everett.
Later, K found the weapon which killed Sir Michael. It was an icicle that killed him when he opened the refrigerator’s door.
In that night, K was in the study, darkling. Then, she saw someone entering in the room and that person took the icicle’s box and K stood up and caught the person and it was Colonel Fawcett, he was just analyze the mechanism, and K knew that he didn’t murdered Sir Michael.
In the next day, K called everyone to the study and she told them that the murderer was Mrs. Flack, the housekeeper.
She confessed, but she told them that she didn’t want to kill him, she wanted to kill Angela Everett, but in that day she wasn’t go with Sir Michael to his study and took some ice to his drink.

I was walking down the street…
I was walking down the street when I saw a child crying, she was shouting for her mother and her father. She was hurt, and she was bleeding. Then, I asked her “Where are your parents?”, and she didn’t say anything. I was worried and I called “889” but nobody answered the phone.
So, I helped her to stop bleeding and I took her to my house, and as she knew her mother’s phone number, I called her and she told me: “Thank you so much, thank you, thank you,…” and I said: “You’re welcome, I live in... Come here and take your daughter she is crying so much!”. 20 minutes after, her mother arrived and I found that she was my aunt, and the child was my cousin… so funny!

My favourite hobby is singing.
When I was 4 years old, I started to sing in English, but now I can sing in English very well and I love it… I don’t like when people can’t sing, and they make up the words! I hate that!
I do my hobby everywhere, because I love singing. I also song in Karaoke… Like I said, I sing everywhere… In my bedroom, in the kitchen, in the class rooms, … Everywhere!
When I sing, I feel so good! I feel fresh, I feel that I am in the sky!
I only need my voice, and love for the music… I don’t need any equipment or clothing, because this hobby isn’t a sport, It’s more than that.
I enjoy my hobby, because when I’m singing I forget all in the outside, I forget the world, the problems, … I like to play singstar, it’s really nice. But some of them… Ouch! Sing really bad!

My hobby is drawing, I love drawing. I start drawing clothes when I was eight years old. I will be a stylist or fashion designer; at least I will have a fashion job. I like drawing many collections and I won some contests.

My hobby is very usual and it is very simple because I only need a pencil or a pen, paper and some inspiration.
I like my hobby very much and I am sure it will help me on the future.

Anorexia
I know a person who is anorexic. She has been anorexic for two years. She is 16 now... She started not eating, because the students of her school were jugding the youngest and she thought that she was really fat and started not eating. Her friends tried to help her, but she didn't listen to them. I've never met an anorexic person, but when I saw her, it was really odd...
I didn't say nothing to her, because I don't know her well, she is just my sister's friend! I don't know a lot of things about her parents, but I think that they don't care about her!

Fashion
Fashion is a good thing and a bad thing!
On the one hand, being fashionable is good because we feel good with ourselves, but on the other hand is bad, because there are so many people who can't buy brand clothes and the others make fun of the person.
There are so many people who are emos. They use dark clothes and piercings, but I like to say, "Their dark clothes, don't define their true colors".
I don't know what is the problem to use dark or not brand clothes... I don't understand other people! They are so mean!
