Since 1985 WrestleMania is the most successful, longest-running professional wrestling event in the world. It is held annually in late March or early April. WrestleMania has become one of the most prominent events in sports entertainment. Wrestlemania has facilitated the rise to stadorm of wrestler as Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Steve Austin, The Rock, and Triple H, amongst others. Numerous celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, Mr. T, Alice Cooper, Donald Trump and others have participated or made special appearances in the events.

John Cena & Orton vs. Raw Roster
On Monday Night Raw 18th March, John Cena and Randy Orton had to fight versus all the other wrestlers of Raw’s roster, so it was a Two Tag Team vs. Eighteen Tag Team Match!
This match was prepared by the manager of the week who was Triple H. In previous leagues Cena had organized matches as Orton vs. Orton in a Steel Cage, and Randy Orton had organized a match where Cena had to fight versus an old enemy: Pocholo Michaels.
It seems that this week’s match had to be won by Raw’s roster but it is said that the best union is one which is made by to enemies, and Cena and Orton put this expression in practice. The match was being won by the Two Tag Team until all the roster began to fight all together, so the match was stopped and the pair of fighters was proclaimed the champions of the match by disqualification.
After the match, when cams were not filming John Cena said to Randy Orton to make the peace, and shakes hands. After a pair of minutes of doubt, the Legend Killer: Orton, gives the hand to The Mariner: Cena, but as the dirty fighter Orton is, he tied to make his finish movement (The RKO, or the Randy Knocked Out) to Cena, who avoided it and make his finish movement, the Fu, to Orton.

10.-The films
The film follows D'Leh, a young mammoth hunter of the Yagahl Tribe who is the son of a hunter that abandoned the village. It was also at that time that D'Leh witnessed the mysterious arrival of Evolet, a young girl with who prompts a prophecy from the wise old woman of the tribe, Old Mother of "four legged demons"(horses) coming to their land during the last Mammoth hunt to occur years later. D'Leh falls in love with Evolet and promises that she will always be in his heart.
Several years later, the Yagahl tribe is expecting the arrival of a mammoth herd to help them survive the winter. According to TicTic, D'Leh's trainer and a friend of D'Leh's father, whoever kills the lead male of the herd, will inherit the legendary White Spear of the North, and Evolet as well. When the mammoth herd arrives, the hunters try to capture the biggest one, but it manages to escape. D'Leh is the only one that follows him and the mammoth ends up dead when it accidentally falls on top of D'Leh's spear. Since nobody sees this, other than TicTic, D'Leh is assumed to be the leader and the winner of Evolet's love. However, TicTic is reluctant to recognize D'Leh. Being honest with what happened, D'Leh returns the White Spear.
At night, a group of raiders come in and kidnap several of Yagahl, including Evolet. The warlord leader takes a liking towards her. His main henchman, One Eye, believes that the girl is a witch who has seduced his master (his later actions hint that he might possibly be attracted to the girl as well). D'Leh decides to rescue Evolet and the rest of the Yagahl. Tic'Tic, Ka'Ren, and young
Other tribes of the area, on being convinced that the prophecy had been fulfilled, join them. D'Leh learns that Evolet and the others are being taken to the "Mountain of the gods" where they would be forced to build altars and pyramids for a mysterious god-like figure. Determined to rescue Evolet and the rest of his tribesmen (and all the other slaves), D'Leh and his friends organize an attack. D'Leh kills the tyrant god, leaving all spectators awestruck. Evolet frees herself by stabbing the warlord with an arrow. The dying warlord, out of spite, shoots an arrow at Evolet from behind killing her. However, she comes back to life to fulfill the prophecy of Old Mother, who revives her with her last breath. Nakudu, fulfilling the wishes of D'Leh's father, gives him seeds to grow and eat from. D'Leh and the rest of the Yagahl bid farewell to the Naku and return to their village. The film ends as D'Leh and Evolet observe the growth of the seedlings.

6.-Frankentstein
-In the book Frankenstein has two brothers, William and Ernest, and in the film there is only one: William
-In the film Frankenstein’s mother dies when William is going to world and in the book she dies from an illness.
-In the book the monster strangles Elisabeth and in the film the monster pulls out her heart.

12- Description.
David Batista:
David Michael Bautista, better known as Dave Batista or by the ring name Batista, is a wrestler of World Wrestling Entertainment Company. Nowadays he takes part in the roster of Smackdown!, one of the leagues of the wrestling company.
Batista is a three-time World Heavyweight Championship and the winner of the 2005 Royal Rumble match, one of the most important wrestling events of the year.
Batista is of Filipino and Greek heritage. His year of birth was disputed for several years. His website originally listed him as being born in 1969, while several contradictory news reports claimed that he was actually born in
He is very strong; he is one of the most powerful wrestlers of the moment, and also one of the most famous.
He had worked as culturist before beginning as a wrestler. He has won a lot of championships and titles since he began as a wrestler in 2002. Those are the main ones between others:
-
-WWE Tag Team Championship.
-World Heavyweight Championship (the most important)
-Royal Rumble Winner 2005.
-Match of the Year (2007) vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 23
To me Batista is the wrestler of the moment, and I think that he has not got good luck, because every time he could win very important championships he has get injured or accused of doping, although later it has been discovered that were lies expanded by wrestlers that were afraid of him.

16th January 2008
Miriam Falgàs & Adrià Alfaro
Castelló d’Empúries 17486
Dear Mrs,
We have been doing batxillerat for four months, and we are writing you to complain about a situation which has taken place many times in these months.
The fact is that when there is no teacher at the hour before or after de break time we can not go out of the college and make the break time larger.
We just know that the college is the responsible of our security if something wrong takes place in classes’ time, but we thought the rules could change.
In our opinion, this change could be made, and it should suppose a larger break time and the non necessity of sending a guard teacher in these hours.
We would be interested in receive a letter explaining what is your opinion of these changes.
Yours sincerely,
3. Your first mail to the teacher (your level at the beginning of 1 bat)
My name is Adrià Alfaro Costals and I'm 16 years old. I think I can't stay in a place without doing anything, I always have to be doing something because if I don't do anything I feel nervous.
I have a lot of hobbies, but my most important hobbies are reading, I can stay reading for hours, and I don't mine if I just read the book that I'm reading because for example I've read Harry Potter and the cambers of secrets six times. If I can I always read fantastic books, but I also like adventure and action books.
My other most important hobby is play with my computer, I can also stay hours playing with the computer.
This were my hobbies but I also have things that I hate, like prepare the meals or clean the house, but there is a thing that I hate a lot, and it's walking to the street and have to see the dirty of the dogs, I hate it.
In a future I would like to be history teacher, because I like a lot the history and I think that is very interesting learn and teach to people the things that has succeeded to the people of the past, or I also would like to go to the army.
