DISNEYLAND, IN CALIFORNIA

https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4007/4528877926_cfc2919b8a.jpg
I've read an article about Disneyland, one of the most important theme parks in the world. It opened in California in 1955, thanks to Walt Disney, who bought an apartment with the park around it. Its history starts with a disaster: someone created fake tickets to enter when the park was handselled and so there were too many people! But, maybe, after that time, lots of people from all over the world were fascinated and so, today, they visit the park, above all, for children. One of the most known attractions of Disneyland is the Big Thunder Railroad, that was the cause of the last big accident we remember, in 2006, in that lots of people were injured and someone else died too. There are lots of places where you can eat something, but only one in which you can drink alcoholic drinks, that's named "Club 33": to enter there you have to book 10 years in advance!!! I've never visisted it but I think it would be a really nice experience!

MALCOLM X

Malcolm X was born in Omaha, on the 19th of May 1925. He was an American activist that worked for the Afroamerican human rights. He's considered one of the biggest leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, with Martin Luther King.

He thought that Islam was a religion able to destroy the racial segregation.
His true surname was Little, a slave name, but he had to create a new surname, X, to signifie his lost tribal name.
He was killed during a speach in Manhattan when he was 39 with a firearm, but he'll never be forgotten by the people that talk about the "Black History Month".

TARANSAY ISLAND



The article I've read talks about Taransay, an uninhabited island that's situated in Scotland. People who like relaxing can go there on holiday, there aren't any shops so they have to be careful to bring their supplies. There aren't any electronic objects, you only hear the sheeps' bleating and their bells' ringing. There haven't been any people since the '70s when the last fisherman leaved and Angus Mackey tells us that he stayed there for a period and he liked very much this place: he and other people who visited it consider it like a "Heaven on the Earth". You feel in a really natural world!

CHEESECAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES



I like this cake very much because it's quite sweet but not too much. I eat it about five times a year. It's sweet, inviting, tasty, nice, coloured, fresh. 
To make it, I need a pack of cheese, a bag of strawberries, a few of strawberry scirop and some biscuits.
First, I prepare a biscuits' ground; next, I put the fresh cheese; then, I put the scirop on it and cut the strawberries; finally, I put the strawberries on the cake and put it in the fridge to make it fresher.
I think its flavour is really nice!
