A short story

The little red hen

"The young fox went to the door of the house and sat there.
At half past six the little red hen came out of her house to get  some water from the pool."

Macmillan Education,page 6.

"The little red hen laughed at the fox.'Good morning foxy,' she said.
'What are you going to eat for your breakfast?'

Macmillian Education,page 29.

Aston martin

Over the past nine decades, Aston Martin has witnessed many changes. In a long and distinguished history, Aston Martin has seen some good times and some bad times.

            The company has a passion by making sports cars, that passion is always present in every single car, the cars are hand-built with high technology  and now more than ever thinking in the fuel consumption and the environment.

            The founders of the company, Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, want to make cars like no other car company in the world.

When you enter an Aston Martin car you can feel the quality of it, with the best interiors in the world, and it only gets better when you insert the Emotion Unit Control (the car key) in the center console, it says Power Beauty and Soul, and you fire up the v8 or v12 engine and you can hear one of the best sounds in the word by revving it or just floor the accelerate pedal to the ground, I know this because I have been in a DB9!

Every car enthusiast say that an Aston martin can not be as fast as a Porsche or as technical as a Ferrari (many say when you step from an Aston Martin to a Porsche or a Ferrari you feel that you have gone forward 200 years) but the car thrills you like no other and you have that sense of fear that being right close to de edge, and that is what excite you so much.

Aston Martin proves that British Engineering is one of the best in the world and a good thing about an Aston Martin is that if it broke down you can always look at it because it’s a work of art!
