Jake Rosso is not dead!

Yesterday morning, Carol Sanders confessed having seen and talked to Jake Rosso, the famous singer. Apparently, she and her mother were working with him a year ago, in his private island in Scotland without knowing this dramatic situation. Carol began doubting when she noticed that Jake Rosso, who used to be called “James Ross”, had a locked room in his house. Her mother says she is like a detective, and always wants to know everything and that’s the reason why she discovered that room.
After a little investigation, she entered there and found posters and guitars. As quickly as she could, she faced the fact and asked James (or Jack) about that episode. Firstly he didn’t recognize it, but then Carol forced him to tell the truth, but he begged her to keep quiet.

Now she is brave and can tell us everything. Here you can read a part of the report about it:

Interviewer: -Why didn’t you like Jake at all?
Carol: -I knew he was hiding something from the beginning, because he didn’t like visitors, nor photographs, and wanted his island to be away from everything. Moreover he had a locked room at the end of a corridor.
I: -Why does Jack hide in this island?
C: -He told me he took drugs and alcohol, and one night (totally drunk), while he was driving his car, he hit a young girl and killed her.
I: -Oh no! And what happened then?
C: So he decided to “kill Jake Rosso” and start a new life as an investor in a remote place where nobody could find him. Only his family knew it. But I think it’s time to face the truth! He was my idol and I can’t lie about him!
I: Don’t you know how he committed suicide?
C: I know he put some of his things into the car, then pushed it down a cliff and burned it. So the police would think he was dead.
I: Oh my God... That’s terrible!
C: I know… but there’s a possibility to Jake to talk about the incident, maybe people can forgive him, maybe not…

Spain is a democracy organized as a parliamentary monarchy, and has been a member of the European Union since 1986.
Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities and two cities, Ceuta and Melilla. These autonomous communities are subdivided into 50 provinces.
Historically, some provinces are also divided into “comarcas”. The lowest administrative division of Spain is the municipality.
Spanish is the official language of Spain, but other regional languages are also spoken, and are the primary languages in some of their respective geographies.

The most common tree in Spain is the oak. The elm and the chestnut are very popular too! In the central plain, grass and vine grow both. Respect to the animals, the wolves, linxes, wildcats, foxes, wild boars, deers and rabbits are the most common of the zone. Also, there is a big variety of birds.

Why did you choose Canada?
We chose the second option because we thought it will be more interesting to investigate a country than one of the seven wonders of the modern world. We really like Spain so we decided to do this project work about it.
