who killed Michael?


 Els alumnes de 4t d'ESO han estat treballant sobre l'ús dels linking words a la classe d'anglès. Us ensenyem una mostra del que són capaços de fer amb una mica d'imaginació i en anglès. Enjoy yourselves while reading it.

More or less  a year ago these tragic images were broadcast live all around the world.

On the 28 th of December 2010, Michael Bradley’s F-1 car exploded two laps before finishing the Turkish F-1 race.

The images caused a great effect on the spectators, and the whole world was in mourning for days. The fact is that in the explosion, Bradley obviously died: his body was disintegrated so the family couldn’t even offer a decent funeral, although tributes rained in from all over the world, from the simplest man in the street to the British Prime Minister himself.

Naturally a year after the accident, most people had forgotten his death, but the fact is that the police have finished the investigation they opened after the accident. The conclusions they got to after a year of investigation is that Bradley’s lover, Samantha Hawk, slew him.
The video cameras in his team box, the witnesses, the evidence and finally Samantha’s confession helped the police tot solve this mystery.

It all started two days before the race, in a hotel in Istanbul. Michael and his lover were staying in the Presidential Suite. Samantha was sleeping but suddenly she woke up as she heard a weird noise in the room next door. She crept to the door and silently opened it and peeped in, she saw Bradley viciously attacking the furniture. She decided to stop the violence, she ran into the room shouting and screaming. Then Michael turned round and hit her, he spat and insulted her. Finally he punched her in the face, that’s why her upper lip started to bleed – the police managed to link the blood they found on the carpet were she had been bleeding to those traces of violence. Then she stood up and confronted Michael, she managed to relax him, after having shouted at him for a while. Michael was very upset and he started weeping at her feet, but she didn’t forgive him.

On Sunday, the day of the race, Samantha had decided she was going to murder her lover, she just couldn’t stand violent men. She was going to put a bomb under his car.
As a matter of fact, she actually thought she wouldn’t leave any proves. So an hour before starting the race she appeared in his team box knelt down next to his car and stuck the bomb just under the petrol tank. Naturally the bomb exploded and Michael died.
After the police made the announcement they went to Samantha’s house and arrested her, and as she was led away handcuffed with a blanket over her head, she was heard to shout “I really did love him, but he had this odd obsession about attacking sofas, it just wasn’t normal; one day it was a sofa but the next … a person”

Frankly speaking they were both a pair of loonies, undoubtedly, Samantha will spend a considerable number of years in prison. The news have spread like a wild fire on the Facebook and Twitter, and it is now on the front pages of most newspapers.
