Writing an E-mail

Hi Flora,

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 books and I specially love romantic books. I usually try to pursue my mother to buy me more books but she never does because she always says that I have enough books of this type.
I enjoy listening to music.My favorite singer is Justin Timberlake because I went to see his concert last week. It was easy to get tickets because I had contacts. I had to stand in a queue for five minutes and the concert was fantastic. Can i ask for more?
I also like all sports but I prefer hip hop. I play at least twice a week. Last year I hurt my arm so I didn't play for a few days.
That's all for now. If you want to know anything else, let me know!
Please send me an e-mail or sms and tell me about your interests and hobbies.

Yours,
Clàudia

Writing A letter explaining a problem

I've had a problem recently because my parents think I’m not old and responsible enough to go out late with my friends. They say I have to be home before 12 o'clock. All of my friends go out until 3 o'clock and I would like to stay with them all night. I've talked with my parents and we've argued a lot, but they haven't changed their opinion.
I think my parents are too strict because I think I'm old enough to go out until later. I know it will be difficult to reach an agreement, but I would be very happy.
I'd really like some advice because my friends and I don't know what to do or what to say to my parents anymore.

Writing A diary entry

At the moment, I'm in a difficult situacion because I've lied to my parents and to the police because I said that Alex was into my house when the CD was stolen.
They've discovered that Alex was the thief and he lied because they've found a security video where Alex appeared. My parents are angry with me. First, I can't use my computer, my mobile phone and I ca'n watch the TV during two months. I know them, but I only wanted to protect Alex. Now, If I ever have a similar problem, I'm never going to lie again, because I have a big problem now.
I don't think that this wil happen again but I don't want more problems with my parents and the police.

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Till we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
We're breakin' free
We're soarin'

TRIP TO ITALY, FLORENCE.


We thought that this trip will be fantastic; now, we think that it's an exceptional experience. Monday and Tuesday we went to Florence. First, we went to the hotel to leave our travel bags. Then, we went for lunch at a restaurant and in the evening we had a lot of free time. We walked throught the city and we used to go shopping. In the evening we returned for dinner to the same restaurant. The next day we visited the cathedral, the Ufizzi Gallery, the monuments, the Michelangelo, the baptistery... and in the evening, we went to eat and ice cream. Mmm...
When we returned to the hotel, we were very tired, but still we were talking in the room. Finally, we went to sleep. The next day we got up early and we went to Verona. We won't forget this trip!

UNIT 1

Writing an Opinion

Is it good to take exams? In my opinion, the answer to this question must be "No". Teachers can't assess our work of months in one exam.

Many people study for exams and then, they already remember anything. How is it that many people didn't pass an exam when they had studied a lot? Today, many people. As I see it, teachers would have to assess practical work and the attitude of everyday in the school. It is clear that if there weren't exams, people would pay more attention in class because it would be a different way to evaluate.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't like to take exams and I think that it's a way of wasting our time.


**
This unit have many new vocabulary specific, like new phrasal verbs. I think that it's a good way to learn but I think that it's difficult to understand all the words and pay attention all the time in class too.

No place to smoke


Soon New York City's one million smokers may have nowhere to light up after city healt commissioner Thomas Farley declared that he wants to ban smoking at city parks and public beaches. Smoking has been illegal in offices, train stations and indoor public places since 2003, and in restaurants and bars since 1995. According to the health department, 17 pr cert of New Yorkers were smokers in 2008, down from 21 per cert in 2002.

Fat-free chocolate?

Discovered by a Swiss chocolate maker, Vulcano has only 10% of the calories of normal chocolate and melts at 55ºC (instead of the usual 30ºC). Due to be in shops in two years, it is not surprising that people in the cocoa industry call it the "wunder bar"!


Cinema 3-D


To say that 3-D movies have taken a long ime to become accepted is an undesrtatement: the first one (now lost) was produced in 1922, and for generations they have been considered as little more than a gimmick. All that changed in 2009, however, with a series of films including Up and Avatar. Whereas previous 3-D technology made objects leap forward grom the screen, the new technology creates a depth-of-field similar to the way we see the real world. And as James Cameron proved with the 3-D realization of his alien planet in Avatar, the technology can now make action scenes more visceral and the visual experience more beautiful. For the film industry, which has lost billions because of internet downloading, 3-D offers the public a good reason to see films in the cinema. One day, no doubt, this advantage will disappear as home screens become 3-D, too. but for the next few years the magic will be back where it is supposed to be - in the cinema.

MUSIC SPOTIFY

The music companies, once rich, have been brought to their knees by Mp3 piracy and a younger generation who think that music should be free. While musicians have responded by returning to live performances, the music industry, desperate to find a way of making money on the internet, is placing its hopes on Spotify. For music fans, this Swedish web service offers the best of both worlds: free music that is legal. You just take a free subscription to the service, listen to (almost) any music you want, and agree to be subjected to the occasional advert in teturn. The music companies, who are all shareholders, get a share of the profits. There is a possible blot on the horizon, however. Despite having more than 2.5 million registered users, it appears that the company is losing money. better enjoy it while it last..

Giving news

Mariona: Clàudia, Clàudia! Look at this! I don't believe it!
Clàudia: Well, tell me! What don't you believe?
Mariona: I passed all of my exams.
Clàudia: Hey! Well done! That's great news. What grades did you get?
Mariona: Four As, two Bs and a C.
Clàudia: No! Really? That's incredible! How on earth did you do that?
Mariona: I dunno. I must be a genius.
Clàudia: So are you going to celebrate?
Mariona: Yes. I can't wait to tell Mum and Dad. I'm going to call them right now.




Asking about rules

Woman: Excuse me.
Mariona: Yes?
Woman: I'm afraid you can't park your motorcycle there.
Mariona: Oh right, sorry. Where am I allowed to park?
Woman: Parking is prohibited in all of this area.
Mariona: I just wanted to go into this shop for a moment.
Woman: Sorry, but you'll have to park somewhere else.
Mariona: Is there anywhere near here?
Woman: Yes, you could try Walton Street, down there.
Mariona: OK then. Thanks for your help.

DESCRIBE A FOOD I REALLY LIKE

Hi, my name is Claudia and I want to say my favorite food is pizza.

Since I was young, I thought that pizza is a great invention. First, I like it because it is a mixture of many ingredients that I like, such as cheese or ham. Also because it's easy to make and very healthy. All in all, I think that Italians are very clever, of course!!

Most of my friends like different types of it, but personally I like with pineapple and mushroom: It's very delicious! When my friends and I go to dinner out, we always eat it.

Now, I must look out because although it's healthy, is fattening!

DO YOU LIKE TWILIGHT? THIS IS A SONG OF IT. CLICK ON THE VIDEO AND HEAR THE SONG. IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL!!

Emma Watson, a model student


Emma Watson, 19, who plays swotty Hermione in the Harry Potter movies, is also brain in real life. The British actress is now studying at the prestigious Brown University on Rhode Island, one of the oldest universities in the USA. The university is expensive but gives financial aid to those who need it. Still, as the new face of Burberry, that shouldn't be a problem for Watson, who could be the best-dressed student on campus.

THE PROPOSAL

Sandra Bullock is a tyrannical book editor forced to her knees by her assistant, Ryan Reynolds.
She is ambitious, tyrannical and hated by everyone who works for her, especially her assistant, Andrew. She has one problem, however: she is Canadian, and the US Immigration Service is going to deport her. Unless, of course, she can marry an American citizen. Like Andrew, for instance. Andrew understands that Margaret is a monster, but accepts her proposition on one condition - that she promotes him to editor.
Initially, it is impossible to care about either Margaret or Andrew because their motives are entirely cynical and mercantile.

Personal Opinion:
I think that this film is a good comedy and I enjoy it a lot.


If you want, you can see the TRAILER.


LEONARDO DICAPRIO, Star with a conscience


DiCaprio has also used his celebrity status to get engaged politically and socially. In 2007 he produced and narrated The 11h Hour, an environmental documentary about the threat of global warming.
As for his future ambitions (doing more environmental work and starting a family), DiCaprio believes there are no limits as long as he doesn't get cynical. "There is a lot I want to do and the more cynical. you become, the more you sit on your butt and do nothing", he says. "What I want is to be known as someone who stood for something".

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to enquire about a lottery funds community project in our town.
Woodford is a small town in the south England. In this city.
There are a lot of roads in and around the town, but there aren't any cycle paths in the town centre. For that reason, we would like to make cycle paths here.
This project will help the environment and the people of the town. I would be grateful if you could send me information about lottery grants. If you have any question about it, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Yours faithfully,

WRITING An article: living with a disability

My name's Clàudia and I've been deaf since I was three. I had many problems in primary and secondary school but I'm at 4th of ESO now.
Life has always been difficult for me. For example, I have to listen to the teachers very attentively and I have to be really careful and only read the books. I can look after myself OK, but I need help with one thing: taking notes in every class. I also have a special programme on my computer with some notes but it's not enough. There are some things which annoy me: I can't listen to music, for example. If I'm in a place like a disco or a loud bar, I can't listen to it. i don't care about my disability but sometimes I feel very sad. Usually people want to help me, but they want to help me when I don't need help!
