 ____________________________

Check

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true 
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands 

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her 

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain 

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you

The Highest Place I’ve Ever Been

 

The highest place I’ve ever been was the mountain of Uritorco. It’s situated in Valle De Punilla, Córdoba, Argentina. I went there with my father. We both like mountain climbing, so we decided to go because people say that this mountain is where UFOs have been sighted, so we felt curious and also because it would be a challenge for us.

 

(Write another paragraph here developing the points in paragraph one - did you see any UFO's? What else happened?)

 

The mountain, also known as “Cerro de los Loros” has an altitude 1949 meters, being one of the highest of Córdoba. You can reach the top in one day, so you don’t need a lot of equipment, only enough water and food.

 

(Add something more personal to this paragraph)

 

Overall, it’s a great experience to get in touch with nature and also see the most beautiful scenery of Córdoba.

 

(Add a more personal reflection to the end of the piece)
