A LETTER: EXPLAINING A PROBLEM


I've had a problem recently. I think that my parents are too strict because I have to be at home before 9.30 p.m at the weekend. I have talked to them about it, but they won't change the rule.
I'm angry because this weekend, there is a party in "Banyoles". I think my ideal solution is to speak with my sisters. But maybe my parents won't change the rule
I'd really like some advice because I want to go to the party. I'm sure there will be all my friends!!

WRITING PISA


Every one was clapping in the plane, we had just arrived to Italy! All the class started to take photos and shouted. We were very excited. Outside the airport Manolo, our chauffeur, was waiting for us. After a while we went to the Hotel Park California****, a great hotel. Then we had dinner outside, in the park of the Hotel. After that, we went to "sleep".
The next morning, we had breakfast in the hotel canteen and took the bus to go to the center of Pisa. There we visited the famous Tower of Pisa, the baptisterio and the duomo. Then we had lunch in a restaurant. We ate pasta, meat and a delicious ice-cream. After these we went to Sant Gimigniano. We thought that Pisa is incredible, specially for its tower!

WRITING AN E-MAIL

Hi Emma,
I enjoyed chatting to you last night in the chatroom. What a pity you had to go so soon! You asked me to tell you about what I enjoy doing in my spare time. So, here it goes!
I'm really interested in films. I especially love action films and I prefer romantic and comedy films.
I also like all sports but I prefer basketball and tennis. When I was young I practiced basketball and tennis, but now I don't play. Last year, when I played basketball I hurt my left hand.
I enjoy listening to pop music. My favorite singers are Britney Spears and Beyonce but I never go to concerts. The song that I lone from Beyonce is "Halo" and Britney Spears "Womanizer".
That's all for now. If you want to know anything else, let me know! Please send me an e-mail and tell me about your interests.

More than 90.000 people see the Angel of the North every day. Antoni Gormley living in India when he decided to become a sculptor. The Angel of the North is in the north east of England. While some engineers were building the Angel thirty miles away, other engineers were preparing this area. I've come to see one of the most famous sculptures in Britain. I've just travelled five milies from Newcastle to see this- the Angel of the North. I've already seen the Angel many times from the train and car, but I haven't seen it up close before.
