Skateboarding has been my life since I was 8 years old.Before I knew how to stand up，I would sit on my cousin's old board and roll down the hills of Cáceres，my hometown in Spain.
When I was at university，I heard about Skate-Aid an organization that builds skate parks for children in disadvantaged communities.I've always wanted to make a positive impact on the world，and if there were a way to do that through skateboarding，I would be there.
I got a call in early 2019 that the next project would be in Syria.I was anxious.We flew to Lebanon and drove from Beirut to Damascus.We stopped at checkpoints every few minutes.I didn't understand Arabic，and all the men I could see were armed.
Our destination was Qudsaya，a city 7 kilometres west of Damascus.Damage from the war was everywhere：roads were cracked and buildings were covered in holes from shooting，in which birds had built nests.
We were building a skate park in an area that had been largely destroyed，except for a small structure where a family of five was living.They'd fled their home in die north.The mother was so welcoming，bringing us tea and coffee every morning.
It took 28 days to build the park.We would get up early and spend all day working.This was going to be Syria's first skate park，and many people wanted to help.
The kids would watch us skating down the street and were so excite.When we finished the bowl（碗狀滑板場），I put kids on a board one by one，and they were amazed by the feeling of rolling along. One boy was a natural.He had never skated before，but within a week he was already skating well.
We stayed for two months.I keep in touch with the kids，and they send me videos of the tricks they've learned.When we left，there were 400 children going to the park every day.I've been to so many countries，but Syria was special.I'll go back as soon as I can.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
