My favourite singer

Today I want to talk about my favourite singer, his name is Kurt Donald Cobain, but his artistic name was Kurt Cobain.
He was born in Abeerdeen- Washington the 20th of february of 1967 and he die in Seattle- Washington the 5th of April of 1994.
He started to sing at two years old and he started to touch the piano and write songs when he was 4 years old, his first songs was about when he went to the park, when he was 10 he started to played the battery and when he was 14 his uncle gift a guitar to Kurt.
The childhood of Kurt Cobain was difficult, because his parents (Donald Lenald Cobain and Wendy Elizabeth Fradenburg) was divorced when he was nine years old, his parents married again with other persons, a new brothers and sisters appears. That fact affected in Kurt, because their parents was pending of his brothers and he was alone. His childhood was so lonely, and he always wanted to has the classical family.
He never was an excellent student, in the classes he always was drawing.
When Kurt Cobain was teenager, the other students started to bullied him because he was the friend of a gay guy, he was so lonely and started to wrote more songs and played the guitar and sang more, (he sang and played the guitar 2 hours every day.).

Then he went to live with his girlfriend and when she was in the work Kurt Cobain kept the house and played the guitar.
He started to do concerts in a bars, and early he started to made discs, like Nevermind, a succes with the song "Smells like teen spirit",and Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana, got fame.


Kurt Cobain was so sad because he doesn't likes the fame and he break with his girlfriend, but the fame every time was biggest.
In 1991 Kurt Cobain met Courntey Love,a singer and they married and had a dughter, Francess Bean Cobain.
Early Kurt started to ate drugs because his wife ate drugs, since one day, when Courtney trick Kurt with other man and he ate a lot of drugs, he fells in coma, and when he wokes up of the coma, he wrotes a letter and then he suicide.

The winter

The winter is my favourite season of the year, because I love wear jackets, whol hats and scarfs, and when the winter is coming I bought a lot of scarfs and hats.


I love winter because I love the cold, you can eat hot drinks, use a lot of blankets and enjoy with your favourite book or movie in your house.

You can use a lot of socks and you don't suffer the summer hot.

I love it too because i´s time for Christmas, family time. And the winter nights are the best to sleep very well.


But the worst of winter is you cannot go outside for a lot of time for the cold.

Paris

The last summer I went to Paris 4 days and it ws a beautiful and really big city, now I understand why Paris is the city of the lights, because at the night Paris is full of lights in every place.
I think you need a lot of days to visit all of Paris.

The first day:
We arrive in Paris and we went to the apartment and a woman showed us the rooms. Then we went to see the city and to bought food, then was to late and we went to dinner in a restaurant, the potatoes in Paris are the best.

The second day:
We woke up and we breakfast, then, we went to visit the Eiffel Tower, it was giant.
When you see the tower in photos is more little. I was impressed, and it was so beauty.
Then, we took a boat to travel the river Sena like a bus, we vistited pert of Paris like the Louvre (but we didn't entered because you need 1 hour to see all the museum), the opera, the Notre-Dame,...

The third day:
We went to Versailles to see the palace of the Sun King and Mª Antonieta but to saw the inside of the palace we needed one morning of queque and we only visited the gardens with a golf car because the garden was enormous.
I was so impressed with the gardens because you can build a town in it.

The fourth day:
We return to home.

Paris is a city with a lot and interesting history, it's a rich city with a lot of culture.
The Versailles palace has a very interesting story too, and when you saw the palace in persn, you understand why the French people had a revolution and cuts the head of the King and the Queen.
