THE PERSON I MOST ADMIRE
My mother is Isabel Fernández, her
birthday is on February 24th. She was born
in Pamplona, but when she was little she
lived in Murillo del Fruto, in the south of
Navarre and in Rochapea, a neighbourhood
in Pamplona. She has got one brother, his
name is Santi and he lives in Pamplona too.
She lived with her brother and father because
when she was fifteen her mother died.
My mother is medium height, and she’s a
little bit fat too. She has got big green
beautiful eyes, and a small mouth; she has
got blond hair. She is very funny and she is
very loving.
When she was little she went to Dominicas
school in Pamplona. She was a good student.
Then she met my father and then they got
married in Puente la Reina, a year before I
was born.
My mother has got one informatics shop in
Rochapea. She is a nurse and she works in
the operating room in Virgen del Camino.
She is very hardworking.
I'm very fond of my mother because since I
was born she loves me and cares for me.
Two years ago we went the two of us to
Argentina. We watched Iguazú Falls, part of
Uruguay, part of Brazil. She also took me to
Germany and France. I will never forget
those trips.
Sometimes we go shopping. She is a very
good cook. She likes watching TV and
reading books.
We get along very well. She does many
things for me and I do many things for her,
because I love her. We have got the same
character but we haven’t got the same tastes.
She is the best mother in the world.

THE PERSON THAT I ADMIRE
I can write about a famous person that I
admire, but I prefer to write about a person
near me.
I’m going to write about my father’s father.
His name is Luis Maria Asurmendi but all
the people call him Luis. He’s a very good
person; he is always helping our family and
his friends. When we need some help, we
phone him and in five minutes he is here.
He’s 75 years old but he is very, very
healthy. He can run, jump as a child. When
I’m with him we practice a lot of sports, but
he always wins, he’s good at all the sports,
we like to play table-tennis tennis,
football...He’s very active.
Everyday he goes to the swimming pool and
with his friends he plays letter games. He
always says: "Me voy a echar la partida"
(I’m going to play a card game) and in a
second he is missing.
He always wears very elegant, a shirt of a
expensive mark (he has a lot of money!), and
long trousers.
We haven’t a lot of physical features in
common, but we have some similar
characteristics: we’re both very nervous and
have little patience.
He was born in Arizala (Navarra) but he
worked in Legazpia (Basque country) all his
life. There he met my grandmother. Later he
lived in Rotxapea in Navarra, a
neighbourhood in Pamplona, but now he
lives at Pio XII street in Pamplona.
He has 4 sons, one is Ignacio, another is Luis
Mari, then Isidro and Javier. His wife is Isi,
she is very is young too.

MOHER
My mother’s name is María Elena Indave,
but we always call her Elena. She is 42 years
old but on the 17th of December she will be
43, so she was born in 1966. She was born in
Pamplona but she lived in Leache, a very
small village in the southwest of Navarre.
She has two sisters and a brother older than
her, and one brother younger, we spend a lot
of time with him, more than with the others.
When she was 14 years old she went to live
to Pamplona with her two sisters and she
studied at " La Granja High School ".
She met my father José Luis. Then got
married and some years later they came to
live to Burlada. They have been living in
Burlada for 18 years.
My mother is quite tall, she has long curly
fair hair and blue eyes, as me. She is quite
talkative, very hardworking and a bit
minded. She is very generous. She studied
Pharmacy at the university of Navarre, but
she does not work in a chemist’s, she is a
housewife.
When she was younger she taught evening
classes of mathematic and physics to
teenagers. Now she can help me and my
brother because she is very intelligent.
She is a very sportive person. She loves
walking with my father. They spend almost
all the day walking. She also goes to aerobic
classes in the mornings. At the weekends we
sometimes go to the mountains. Although
she practices a lot of sports, she also likes
watching films, lying on the sofa.
This is my mother’s life and for this reason I
rally admire her.

A PERSON I GET ON WELL WITH:
MY BROTHER
I’m going to talk about
my brother.
His name is Saul
Pascual and is 19 years
old. His hobbies are
playing with the
computer and playing
the guitar. He has two
guitars. One is a
“Guitarra española” and
the other one is an electric guitar. He loves
music, he’s crazy about it.
His favourite group is “Marvin” but he also
listens to “Green Day”, “Sum 41”, “Linkin
Park”… And he plays their songs with the
guitars.
He lives with me and my parents. In
Burlada. He is studying at Ibaialde, like me.
His favourite brand mark is “Atticus”. He
likes very much their T-Shirts. He’s got a lot
of them. His favourite colour is orange, but
to dress he likes black and white.
He hates studying and he travelling. In his
free time, he goes out with his friends,
watches TV…
Saul is orderly (more than me) and doesn’t
like anyone touching his things.
We get along pretty badly, but, when don’t
quarrel, I like being with him.

A PERSON I GET ON WELL WITH: almost always, for example, forgets things at
MY SISTER school.

I see her all afternoons, and sometimes I help

her to do her homework or we play together.
I get on very well with her and she also with
me, I hope that in the future we continue like
this.

She was born in Ecuador like me, but on

April 24 in 2000. She started the school in
San Juan and now she’s studying primary at
Hilarion Eslava School. In the past she was a

drawing, she loves doing it, and really, she

things were made by pairs, she and me. I

She makes me smile and be always happy.
She’s my sister Maria José and I hope she is

MARIANELA MARIÑO

She’s tall for her age, she has dark hair. She
usually likes to wear jean trousers and a T-
shirt, but sometimes she must put on her
school uniform for P.E, which she hates a
lot.

As she is my sister, she looks like me a lot,

and some people say that she and I are much
alike. About physical features that we have
in common I think is specially the face, the
hair and the colour of the skin.

She’s a kind and generous person; she helps

me in all that she can. I like her kindness a
lot, probably is the first quality that a person
must have. Her character is very good and
this is something I think wouldn’t change.
Both she and me are a little bit impatient but
it doesn’t matter. The only thing that is a
fault in her is that she is absent-minded, she

MI FRIEND
Amaia is my best friend since we were 3.
We are still very good friends and in the 11
years that I have been with her, although we
sometimes get angry, we always forgive
each other.
I admire Amaia because she is a very
hardworking person, an excellent friend, the
best for me. She always knows what to say
to make me smile, she is very responsible
and for all this and other things I think that
she is a very nice person.
When we are together we have a very good
time, and, I have to recognise that Amaia has
taught me a lot of things, she is like my big
sister but our relationship is much closer and
enjoyable.
We like to spend time together for example
we sometimes take our dogs for a walk and
all the weekends we go out with the group of
friends.
We also like to meet alone to talk and tell
our secrets to each other. Amaia always
keeps my secrets and of course I keep
Amaia’s.
When our parents can, we go to the
countryside together or Amaia comes to my
house to sleep and other times I go to
Amaia’s house. We go to Amaia`s village,
but this only sometimes, and we stay all the
weekend!

My grandmother’s name is Camino, she is
89 years old. Her birthday is on the 25 of
March. She is the grandmother of my eyes,
and the only I have got because the parents
of my dad died when he was still young.
My granny is medium height, and she is a
little bit fat but, as she’s 89, she is very well.
She has got short grey curly hair and blue
beautiful eyes. She’s very funny sometimes,
but most of the times she is serious and shy.

Muzqui, near Estella, in the north of Spain,
with my grandfather Jesus and their dog,

pet. All the family love it. My granny is a

grow, to spend time near the nature…
My granny never worked out the house, she
has been a housewife all her life, but before

herself!
My granny has got five daughters: Juana

much! She lives ALBERTO ARAGON
with my parents,
my grandparents
and me in Cildoz, a village near Pamplona.

She studies Pharmacy at the University of

Navarre in Pamplona. She goes by car all the
days to the University and she comes back
home very tired. She is a very good student
because she studies a lot everyday, so in the
exams has good marks. She is always
working because she has too many things to
do.

Her hobbies are listening to music, painting,

running and I think that studying because
she is almost always studying. She likes
going out with her friends, normally on
Friday nights, and riding her bike too. She is
tall and thin. She has brown hair and green
eyes. She wears glasses or contact lenses.
She is a little bit shy but, when she feels
well, she is very friendly. She wears modern,
but on special occasions, like a meal with all
the family at Christmas… she wears very
elegant.

When I have a question in my homework,

she helps me because she is 5 years older
than me, as I said before, and she knows
more than me. She is really useful for me.

She has been in many places, like Paris

(France), Toronto (Canada)… she really
loves to travel, she says it is exciting. She
wants to travel as much as she can. She is an
adventuress person! I like that face of my
sister because it is very interesting.

friends.
In 11 years, our relation has changed a little
bit because now we don’t play, jump or run
like when we were seven. And now we are
always talking, sometimes arguing and
always helping each other.

She was born in Panplona, ands she studied I really love Maitane!
at "Hilarión Eslava" primary school, in
Burlada. She was a very good student! Her IRATI SEGURA
hobbies are playing basketball, drawing,
painting, reading, going out and listening to
music, but I remember when we were seven,
she wanted to have a horse because her
hobby were animals...

She’s a student at Ibaialde secondary school

and she lives in Burlada, in a flat with her
parents, her brother Asier and Max, her dog.
I have known her for 11 years, we have lived
everything together. Our relation is a friends’
relation but and we’re also class-mates.

Her character is calm and hard working at

school, but when we go out, she’s funny and
extrovert, and she’s a girl of strong character
and also is very stubborn. When she says no,
it’s no but I really love her.

I see her very often, all the days of my life, I

think, because we’re in the same class and in
the same group of friends. We’re always
together and I really like to be with her.

We do a lot of things together, like going out

or shopping. For example, in November,
we’re going to watch "New Moon" at the
cinema, because we also have the same taste
in films, clothes, books... Even in music, we
love "Jonas Brothers"! But my favourite one
in the group is Nick and she prefers Joe. It’s
very funny when we start talking about them
and don’t stop. But we also argue a lot, I like
to argue with her.

Maitane is a very important person in my life

and I don’t know what to do without her. I

A PERSON I ADMIRE: MY FATHER
A person who I really admire is my father
Jon, or Juan Carlos (his real name). He’s 46,
black short haired, well now his hair is quite
white, dark-skinned, not much tall, 1’75 I
think, big brown eyes, small nose and a
smile that makes you feel good. He’s serious
but he can make you laugh, very patient in
most aspects of his life, a very, very
organized person and very hard-working too.
He was born in Barcelona, on the 31st of
May in 1963, but he grew up in Pamplona.
He met my mother when he was 19, when he
was a singer in Sparto, a famous group of
music at that time. He tells me a joke, that
my mother wanted to see the battery but my
father was in the middle, so…
My father was the singer of Sparto for 5
years, but he left the group to create a
family. In 1992 he married my mother and
later, on the 3rd of July 1995, I was born.
My father started to work at a factory,
nowadays he’s working in other factory
because the other was closed. The factory’s
name is Recy-land, I think.
Three years after I was born my sister Nidia
came to this world and the house was small
for four people, so we had to move to
Villava, the place where I live nowadays.
My father’s parents, my grandparents of
course, are Juan and Tere. They live in
Pamplona. They are very friendly and lovely
persons. My father has two brothers and one
sister. He’s the oldest of all the children,
Jose Luis is the second and he still plays the
electric guitar in Sparto. Rosa is the next,
she’s very intelligent and very hard-working,
she works in a important company of
environment. The last is Patxi, he’s a
mechanic, he knows a lot of things about
cars and other machines.
So that’s my father, a person who I really
admire.

MY BROTHER
I person that I really admire is my brother
Javier. He lives in the same house as me,
because we are still very young. He is older
than me too, he is sixteen years old. His
birthday is on the 18th of August. About his
physical appearance? Well, he is not much
tall for his age, he is medium. He has got
black hair and brown big eyes. I don’t know
what else I can say, because he hasn’t got
any special features, so I’m going to describe
him in the character. Sometimes he is very
talkative, but this is not normal, because he
is usually shy. I like when he is talkative.
When he is in this mood we can have a nice
conversation. But sometimes we argue
especially about the computer and the TV
too. He has got a very strong character with
me, but it is my brother and I love him a lot.
He is very good table-tennis player. He
started playing table tennis five years ago
more o less, he said that he doesn’t
remember. Last year he left football practice
and then he started to teach to young people
(table-tennis) so he became a trainer.
Last summer he started to attend courses to
be a referee and now he is a football referee
too. Every weekend he goes to referee to
girls and boys of different categories. He
earns a lot of money because he is
federate…
He likes going out a lot with his friends. He
has got a lot of friends, but I don’t know the
names of all of them. I know, Oscar, Rubén,
Xabi, Javito, Nestor, Dani, Gorka… At
weekend they go parties in different towns
and these are the most important things of
my brother.

MY SISTER
Hii! Now I am going to tell you about my
little sister Lucia and the relation that I have
with her.
 Composition about a person you get on well with
My sister’s name is Lucia, she is ten years
old but she always says that she is 11
because her birthday is on the 4th of
November. She lives in Villava with my
parents, my brother and me. She studies at
Lorenzo Goicoa School, but next year she is
going to start at Ibaialde with me.
Lucia isn’t very tall, because all my family
are small. She isn’t fat. She has got blond,
straight, and not very long hair. Her eyes are
green.. Most of the people say that she and I
are very similar but I don’t think so!
She usually wears jeans, normal shoes and t-
shirts with different colours. She loves
colours, her favourite colour is blue and she
doesn’t like anything pink.
She is a very funny and lovely person. She is
very friendly but not a very open person. She
only opens up when she knows the person
well. In this aspect she and I are very
different, also she is very nervous, exactly
the same as me. We spend much time
together and we see each other all the days. I
have good times with her because she is a
little crazy and we have the same hobbies. Se
is a lovely person because is smiling all the
times!
Lucia loves dancing ballet, when she was 6
years old she went to classical academy for
some years but now she goes to a gym in
Villava with her friends and at weekends she
has competitions but she doesn’t win yet.
Also she likes to spend much time with her
friends in Villava, in the swimming pool, in
the cinema,...
But many times she goes with her cousins,
she has two cousins of the same age and
when the three are together she enjoys it!
She also studies so much because she is a
really good student but very disorganized
too.
And that’s all, this is my sister and I love
her.

My brother is called Xabier, he is ten years
old and will be eleven on January 5.
My brother is medium height; he is a little
bit fat too. He has got brown eyes and small
nose; he has got short brown hair. He is a
nice person but sometimes I do not get on
very well with him, also I love him. He
studies in Lorenzo Goicoa, a school in
Villava which is also my older school. He is
a person with a strong character too.
He has got a lot of hobbies. But the best for
him is football; he plays in the team of the
Atarrabia. This is a secret but ..."he is the
best". He also loves being with his friends,
he's very friendly and he makes friends very
quickly, because he is crazy!! (Ha! Ha! Ha!).
His best friend is Igor, a very funny child
and his elder brother is one of my best
friends, his name is Ivan.
My brother Xabier loves animals, he loves
all of them. His favourite are dogs and
horses. He wants to go horse riding but it’s
very expensive. We also have a dog: buff...
my mother hates dogs!! Xabier says that he
wants to be the best veterinary in the world!!
I'm sure that his dream will become true
because he is a very intelligent person.
His fauvorite food is pizza, ice-creams and
pasta. He's a glutton person.
His fauvorite colours are blue and red
because he loves Barça and the colours of
the T-shirt are those too. He wants to play in
Barça when he grows up. His favourite
number is 8.
I like being with my brother, he is a good
company!! But when he's angry... it’s very
dangerous (Ha! Ha! Ha!).
He's my young little brother and I love him
very much.
