UNIT 2: CYBER TEEN

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
