A story. Dragged by the tide. A present

This afternoon I will let this text here, as a present for good students. I will remove it tomorrow.

In my numerous travels to Santiago de Compostela I have had many adventures. One of the most dangerous ones was five years ago.

Bustio and Deva River.

The day started well. I woke up at seven o'clock, I had breakfast and I rode on my bike. That day I had to cover 67 kilometers, from Santander to Bustio (the first town you find when entering in Asturias, comming from Cantabria) I crossed rivers, mountains, small villages... all along the N – 634 road. I arrived to Bustio in the afternoon, without any relevant incident. I left my bike and luggage in the hotel and I went for a walk along Deva river.

Deva River Mouth.

On one point I discovered a very beautiful place. The river was clean and clear, and it has a sandy beach. I was wearing my trunks, and the weather was fine; so I decided to have a bath just there. I climbed up a rock and I jumped in. I swam a little, enjoying the fresh water and relaxing my legs after a hard day of bike. Then I decided to turn back for reaching the river bank... But when I looked, I did not recognize the place. Scared, I looked river up... And I checked that the water flow has dragged me river down more than 100 meters in a few seconds!!! I swam with all my strength trying to reach the river bank; but it wasn't easy. The river was getting wider, and I noticed that I was arriving to the Cantabric sea. Finally I could reach the river bank just before arriving to the ocean. I grasped a tree root, I climbed it up and I could get out of there. I walked back; and I spent more than 20 minutes into arriving to the point in which I had jumped to the water.

Later, in a bar, I started chat with a couple of old grandpas. They told me that that afternoon the tide was going out; and for that reason the river flow has been so violent. They also told me that some people had died dragged by Deva river, precisely because of the mix of tide with the strength of the water flow.

That day I learnt a couple of things. First, to not swim in unknow rivers. And second, to not swim in a river close to the coast when the tide is going out.

Caspian sea

The biggest lake: 

it is the Caspian sea. It is a sea placed between Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan... It is 1200 km long, 300 km wide and its deepest point is about 1023 meters. But its waters are salty; so, many people classify it as sea.

Caspian Sea

The biggest freshwater lake is Baikal (Russia) (It contains the 25% of all fresh water in the world; that is; one of every four fresh liters of water in Earth belongs to Baikal lake). It is also the deepest lake in the World: 1642 meters depth. And when it freezes, it shows awesome images...

Lake Baikal

The longest mountain range:

It is Los Andes. It spreads from Venezuela to Argentina, crossing countries like Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia or Chile. It is 7000 km long. Its highest peak is Aconcagua (6962 meters high)

The highest waterfall.

It is "Salto de Ángel" waterfall, in Venezuela. It is 972 meters high.

General Sherman.

The biggest tree in the world.

It is a secuoya, called "General Sherman", and it is in the American state of California. It is not the tallest ("only" 83 meters), nor the wider (a diameter of 7,7 meters); but it is the biggest in terms of wood. It is also very old; about 2.700 years old.

The highest is Hyperion (115 meters), also in California, not very far from Gernal Sherman. You can see a picture below these lines. The tree is alone, surrounded by oter small trees.

Grammar. 6th Grade. Going to.

"Going to" is an expression which could be translated as "voy a". We use it for talking about plans in a short term.

I am going to visit my grandad.

He is going to play football.

They are going to study English.

Today, at class, we did an online worksheet about it. I let it here, because, as you know, on next exam there will be a grammar excercise about "going to".

Note: it is a very complete worksheet. On following days we will do other parts of it. However, if you want to try it, go ahead.
