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

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.
