La ceiba Ariana Avelar 7A
La Ceiba, Honduras is a friendly city, with that "small town" feel. It is surrounded by lush jungles, breathtaking mountains, challenging rivers, and intriguing beaches.
We welcome you to learn more about this beautiful place, explore its wonders, and hopefully, decide to see La Ceiba for yourself.
Ecotours, river rafting, garifuna villages, and mountain treks are what La Ceiba is all about. Beach lovers can always just relax on any of the uncrowded La Ceiba beaches.
La Ceiba History
The town of La Ceiba in Honduas was named after a giant ceiba tree which grew at the shores of the Caribbean Sea.The tree was so big that the first settlers (theGarifuna -‐ immigrant slaves from the Island of Saint Vincent) said that it was "The Ladder God used when he came down from Heaven to visit Earth".
The port city of La Ceiba started to develop in 1872, when Manuel Hernandez built a hut under the enormous tree. Around it, other neighbors started to settle, seduced by the boom of the the banana plantations. The commerce of this fruit was so prosperous that it brought the attention of big international companies that started to establish in La Ceiba.
The city started to grow with national migrants and foreigners. Over the years the infrastructure has changed, but La Ceiba has always kept its own Caribbean flavor. La Ceiba was declared a town August 23, 1877, being the center of the banana republic and main point of the regional economy. Later, the biggest industrial and financial companies of Honduras came to La Ceiba.
Today, La Ceiba is the third most important city in Honduras, and the second most important port in the country. La Ceiba has the highest literacy rate in Honduras, and a large bilingual population.
CALANTERIQUE
BY: MILTON SANDRES Calanterique is a very special place. It has a lot of attractions like slides, little Bmx park, and swims but my favorite attraction is the slide because you can sit in the bottle and slide very fast it has a lot of tress animals and very beautiful sounds and plants it has a little Bmx park that you can go and do tricks .On Bmx park I only do 180 degrees flip but are other tricks that are very difficult like boomerang, 360 degrees flip and the most difficult the flip back . On that place when my father was young he went there but when my father got there it was ugly. He went when he was 18 years old; the trees were very little and it dint have plants.
This is a very big castle the firs think I like in that place is this castle when I see all the birds and animals in that castles I like it. In the top of all that trees are squirrels when I went to that place I see like 10 squirrels
in the top of all the trees. This place is in Siguatepeque in the neighborhood of Macaruya and is very close of El Alba Bilingual School. On the parades of the school we go to practice on that place because is very big.

YOU KNOW THAT ROATAN HAS THE SECOND BEAUTIFUL REEF IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. IN ISLAS DE LA BAHIA THERE ARE 3 ISLANDS, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES BUT ONE OF THE THREE IS ROATAN. THIS MAKES IT A SPECIAL ISLAND BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND AND THAT IS THE SECOND BEAUTIFUL REEF IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, THAT’S
WHY PEOPLE LIKE TO GO TO ROATAN.
My Favorite Prairie!
It’s an imaginary place, well although I
investigate about it. I find that there’s
one almost the same one I think of, or
imagine. It’s kind of mine because I
had been dreaming with it, and that’s
why for me it’s just PERFECT! There’s
a large variety of trees and beautiful white and purple flowers in everywhere.
It’s situated on the heart of the forest; behind it you can see mountains in my
head or in Portland (where there’s one like this). Near it you can find a precious
river that flows out there, its sound is very relaxing and inspiring, so it’s
amazing to hear that relaxing sounds and forget about everything. It’s the
perfect place to lie down on the plants and get relaxed. You can lay and watch
all the clouds and find their shapes, or stay in the midnight and watch all the
perfect beauty of the night, like the stars and the moon. It’s a place where you
can be just you and yourself, but it’s difficult to find out if you don’t know
where it really is, because is situated on the woods. You can find it on a
sidewalk, if you don’t follow it correctly you might get lost. I think it’s a very
special and magical place, for me it’s. You can make a picnic or just enjoy
what nature gives you; you can also go for a swim in the river, because it’s
kind of a lake, similar to it. Mountains surround everything, flowers give the
prairie a special thing that makes it more beautiful, and I call it like a
paradise. It doesn’t have attractions just inspiring attractive. I investigate that
the real one it’s situated in the outsides of Portland in the U.S.A. It’s very, very
big, I mean enormous. When you’re there you can forget about everything and
also even your name, no I’m just kidding with that, but it’s amazing. You feel
very free and very yourself. It makes yourself breath like if air is the most pure
one. You can sleep and lie down to relax or be a while there just thinking, when
you’re stressed or freak out. If you take an mp3 with relaxing classical songs
everything will be perfect for me it’s just the Best place in the world to be.
In this article I will talk about my ballet studio and why I like ballet. I like a ballet studio because I like practicing ballet there. Ballet is something I’ve been liking and doing since the ten years old so I think I am really flexible now. I like to practice it because when the more I practice I can get better and being someone in the future with ballet. Practice takes me a lot of time because on a typical day first I warm up to not get hurt later, then I do routines, then I do stretch ups and always learn something new. The ballet studio belongs to a friend named Zara Buck. The studio is big, there are games for little girls that practice too, and there is music, bars, and very big mirrors in a whole wall. Is it located in Siguatepeque, Comayagua sides the grave yard. It is a special place to me because doing ballet lets me feel that I am good at something It is also special because it gives me Healthy Benefits too like: Taking a ballet class can help me multiple ways from losing weight and practicing good posture! Lifelong Friends like: I met my best friends in a ballet class. Believe it or not, the same girls I was dancing with when I was10 is with me until now, either way, if you stick to a regular dance class, I guarantee
you'll make at least one new friend. Pure Fun like: Many people who don't take ballet think that it's strict and no fun at all. Well, you're wrong! Ballet is fun if you make it fun. You can throw your cell phone on and improvise dance moves. You'll have the time of your life choreographing your own dance. Every ballet move can be turned into something else if you want to. Ballet is art and it’s beautiful. You'll be able to create your own piece of art! Stress reliever like: I've been pissed off and stressed out plenty of times. How do I deal with it? I take a ballet class. It soothes me and calms me down. I put on my ballet shoes any time I want to clear my head or get something of my mind. It's a great way to forget about reality once in awhile. I can get lost in music and dance my heart out.
My Favorite Place My favorite place of Honduras is the bay island
because there are a lot of species of exotic animals,
and differents activities that you can do like canopy,
scubadiving, swiming in
the sea ,see the iguana
garden, relax,go to coral
cay resort,go to hotels,
visit the museum, swim
with dolphins and watch
thier show,visit the lodge
garden, what about of
their food?That food is so delicious because thei
catch is what they they catch for example
shrimp,langoste ect. And what about their music?
music from them is what we call punta is a very
busy pace and very cheerful so this is my favorite
place. In the Bay Islands, there are five star hotels. A
place that I want to go another time is a beach
called West Bay, because here the water is so clean
and sand is like cristal too. You can swim on the
Islands of Utila, Roatán or Guanaja. The best place
to go scuba diving is Roatán, because it has a coral
reef.
