1-A blog
entry about a typical Sunday
Weekends are the best!
Saturday´s my favourite day. In the morning, I have a
dance lesson. After that I help my mum around the house and then we have lunch.
In the afternoon, we go shopping. In the evenings, I go to the cinema or watch
a DVD.
On Sundays, I like to relax and have fun. In the
morning, I get up late and have a big breakfast. In the afternoon, I visit my
grandparents or go to the park with my friends. In the evenings, I listen to
music or read a book and I have an early night.

3- A story
The Creature
Last winter, I travelled to the Rocky Mountains for a
skiing holiday. I was really excited as I wanted to visit the Banff National
Park and see Bigfoot. We started our journey in the morning.
We soon arrived at the national park. I wanted to take
some photographs, so I walked into the forest. Suddenly, a creature that looked
like a monkey appeared from behind a tree. “Was it Bigfoot?” I wondered.
I stepped back in surprise and shouted for help. My
family tried to calm me down. A few seconds later, my dad started laughing. “It´s
not Bigfoot, Jim. It´s a man. Look!” He was right. The man appeared from behind
the trees. He was very tall and he had a big thick coat. I started laughing at
my mistake, too.
We had a great time in the national park and we all
enjoyed the scenery. It´s a pity Bigfoot wasn’t there though.

about rules
Hi Peter,
I´m here at a summer school in England. I arrived on
Thursday. It´s great. There are lots of things to do and I´m learning lots of
English.
We have to get up at 8 am every day, but we can eat
whatever we want for breakfast. Our first class starts at 10 am and we mustn´t
be late. After class, there are a lot of activities to choose from. We can play
lots of sports and go horse riding or canoeing. In the evening, we have to be
in bed before midnight. After the lights are out, we mustn´t talk. There are a
lot of rules, but the camp is fun!
See you soon,
Pablo

comparing two places
Dear Bob,
There are so many beautiful places in my country. My
two favourites are Madrid and Barcelona. Madrid is in the centre of Spain.
There are many sights to see. It´s a historic city. On the other hand,
Barcelona is a more exciting city. It has a lot of nightlife. It is famous for
its cathedral.
What about you? Which places in your country do you
like most? Why?
Write back soon.
Enrique.

about your holiday
Dear Christina,
Hi! How are you? We arrived in Edinburgh yesterday and
we´re really excited about being here. We are staying at a beautiful hotel in
the city centre. The weather is cool but sunny.
First of all, we´re going to see Edinburgh Castle. My
mum and sister can´t wait to go shopping. My dad and I are going to go on a
tour of the city. I´m also going to visit the museum.
That´s all my news. See you in a week.
Take care,
Frederico
7-A survey
report: Class Film Survey
I asked ten people in my class four questions about
films. Here are the results of my survey.
Here are the results of my survey.
Most of the people like going to the cinema, but a few
of them prefer going to the theatre. The majority of the people prefer
comedies, thirty per cent like actions films and twenty per cent like drama.
Half of the people have been to the cinema this month. A few of the people have
been twice. Two people haven´t been at all. Most of the people liked adventure
films, but some of them didn´t. No one liked jungle adventure films, but
everyone liked disaster films.
