2Dear Ms Helen Ryan
3Competition Organiser
4I have just recieved the letter , which lets me know that I have won the first prize .
5I am proud of winning it and would like to say how thankful I am .
6I am therefore writing to give you my further information .
7First of all , I am a student and would like to travel in July .
8Because I intend to take examination in Septenber .
9So I can afford to go on holiday only in July .
10Secondly , I would prefer to stay at log cabins rather than tents .
11It will be my first time to experience to stay there and I am interested in trying new things which I have not tried .
12The next consideration is the activities .
13Actually , I used to play basketball for 6 years and am quite confident of it .
14And nowadays , I have been practicing tennis as school activity .
15Therefore I would like to choose basketball and tennis .
16Finally , I am considering about what kind of clothes I should wear and how much I need .
17I would be most grateful if you could give me further advicable information .
18I look forward to hearing from you .
19Yours sincerely ,
20Dear Kim ,
21Hello !
22I hope everything around you is alright .
23You might not believe but actually I helped at a pop concert last month and I really enjoyed it so much .
24So I 'm now writing to let you know how grateful it was .
25All work I needed to do was n't very interesting. which I must have set thousands chairs correctly and after finishing I put them back nicely .
26The reason I enjoyed it very much is that I could meet the vocalist on setting chairs just before they started practicing .
27I was asked if I wanted to sit down in front of stage .
28Naturally I agreed and I could enjoy their gig as audience .
29It was absolutely fantastic .
30I had ever never sit down there .
31Actually I was a bit ashamed but it will be my brilliant memory .
32Anyway it was so interesting time that I did n't even feel tired after that .
33Finally , I suggest you should try as I did if you have any opportunity .
34You must like it .
35I 'm looking forward to seeing you soon .
36Can you send me the letter back writing what happend to you recently .
37Bye !
38Love ,
39At the begining I would like to thank you .
40Now I am going to give you some further informations I would like to travel only in July because I am a student in High school and this is most important year of my life I am studying to university entrance exams and I have to study until the end of June and then by the end of June I will be having university entrance exam after that in July I am going to be alright .
41I would prefer tents because I have never stay in tents before and I am wondering how it is going to be like And among these activities I am choosing basketball and swimming .
42Basketball because I am very good at it , swimming because I like to swim very much but I 'm not a very good swimmer .
43And finally I would like to ask you some questions .
44My first question is about clothes ; what kind of clothes do we need to take with us ? and How much money do we need to take ?
45Finally what kind of wheather is waiting for us ?
46Thank you for Every thing
47Your sincerely

50Dear M. Smith ,
51My name is Marie Bouchard , I come from Switzerland .
52Two weeks ago , I spent a week in your fabulous city of London with my friend .
53Unfortunately , we were really disappointed about everything in the theatre .
54Firstly , we got our tickets in your ticket office just one hour before the show .
55We thought , as usual we do in London theatre , we could have discounts as it 's written on your advertisement .
56Surprisily , there were no discounds .
57Secondly , the show started at 20:15 instead of 19:30 , it 's a theatre but not a concert hall ! ! ! !
58Thirdly , we were astonished about the actors whose we know from others musical .
59Why did you not change the name of your advertisement ?
60In the end , the restaurant was closed because you did n't have enough staffs , this evening ! !
61Nothing was serious .
62We really like London , the people , the night-life but this evening was really awful .
63I sent to you a copie of our tickets .
64Would you pleased return our money back .
65In advance , thank you .
66I hope we are not the only people to be so upset , but it was the first and the last time that I came in your theatre .
67Sincerely yours
68Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
69When her best friend , Scala , asked her an idea to surprise her husband because she 's pregnant , Pat put her feets in the plate just before Scala 's husband got the surprise .
70The problem is that Pat works in the Neubathin a little village .
71She 's a secretary in an office .
72Everybody knows everybody .
73Pat and Scala have been good friends for 10 years , their husband too .
74It was a Friday suny afternoon , Scala was really excited to tell her the new .
75Despite she knew that Pat could n't keep secret but for this time she was confident maybe too .
76Just after Scala told her the new , Pat phoned her mother who worked in a bakery , to tell that Scala is pregnant .
77As usual , Jon , Scala 's husband came & bought the bread for the evening .
78He was so amazed and asked to repeat .
79She just thought it would be a secret , she came really embarassed .
80When he went back to his house , his wife gave him the box with the shoes but it was n't a surprise !
81Scala was hungry with Pat because she thought she can keep this kind of secret .
82Sir manager ,
83I am writing in order to complain about what you have written in the advertisement on the newspaper .
84I am disappointed because of the horrible evening I have had , I was on holiday in London and I did not have time enough to spend there , but when you said that show was the best I decided to go .
85When I bought my ticket I asked for a discount and they said it was not available .
86At first it was not a problem because if the show was going to be the best it would cost what they said .
87I arrived at the theatre in time and the musical show started later than I expected so I was getting nervous because I dislike very much the impuntuality , but that was not all .
88When the show started the person who was acting it was not Danny Brook and he seemed not to be an actor .
89Really he was bad .
90Afterwards I decided to go for a meal in the theatre restaurant but It was closed .
91So you can imagine how I felt because of the irritating evening out I had .
92I am letting down because of your behaviour .
93You wanted to cheat me , so I will be very pleasure if you could give my money back .
94I am looking forward your answer .
95Your faithfully ,
96I think technology has changed my life and the way of living of almost all people around the world .
97First of all technology is very useful nowadays but really I dislike it because in some ways we are becoming machines too .
98Since the creation of PCs , people - and me too , of course - are making different things .
99For example we can buy food , clothes and whatever we need by internet or by telephone .
100I can know what is happening in differents parts of the world in a few minutes .
101A very good point of this change is that women have more freedom to have a job because before reaching the technology they have to stay at home doing housework but now we have laundries and a lot of machines like microwave oven .
102In my case I dislike computers .
103I do n't know how to use them but I know I have to change because they help us to make our lives easier .
104On the other hand what will happen with us in the future ?
105Our life will be managed by robots and they will replace us in our jobs .
106So , what are we going to do ?
107Something that I note about technology is that we are loosing green places and there are a lot of pollution , so we have to be careful .
108Dear Mr. Ryan ,
109I received your letter and I am very glad I have won a two weeks travel to Camp California .
110I will give you some information which helps you to know me better .
111I would like to travel to camp in July because this is the best time for me and I hope for you .
112I will be very busy in June so let me tell you some details about my travel .
113About accommodation , I think tents would be great .
114Basketball and swimming I think are the best for the children .
115Basketball will help children to build team character and leadership .
116And swimming is very good for health .
117I swim really good and I am a proffesional basketball player .
118I count on my experience .
119And there are few questions I would like to ask .
120First , what clothes should I take with me , secondly. how much money and by cash or by travel cards .
121Thanks !
122I am looking forward to our meeting .
123Yours sincerely ,
124Vasiliy Alekseyev .
125Dear Kim ,
126It all started when one of the organizers asked me to help him at a concert of my favorite band .
127And what do you think I answered ?
128Of course , yes !
129I have got very responsible work I had to bring food for Peter Bolen and Tomas Anders .
130Can you imagine ?
131I came into their room and give hot Cheeseburgers , Coca-Cola and ice-cream to Peter .
132It was the happiest moment of my life .
133He asked me was the cheeseburger hot and I answered that it was .
134I was very nervous talking with him .
135He told me about concert programme and gave me his photo with a sign .
136I will never forget that summer day .
137It was my day , I am sure about it .
138Well , I think that is all .
139See you .
140Yours faithfully ,
141Vasiliy .
142Dear Sir or Madam ,
143I am writting to you about the show .
144I was very disappointed after this show .
145I would like to have my money back .
146At first the show started at 10.15 , and it should be at 19.30 .
147After your show I wanted to visit my friends , and because of it , I did n't do it .
148Also , you wrote about discounts , but it 's not true !
149The woman , who sold a ticket was very roud with me , actually she started swearing at me .
150During the show , I was very hungry but I hoped to visit restaurant , it 's a pity , but restaurant was closed because it was too late .
151And , I forget to say about actor , I did n't enjoy them .
152So , I hope I will get my money back , it was very disappointing evening out in my life !
153I hope you understand me !
154your sincerely
155Ongelina
156Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets , but any way I trusted him .
157It 's happened 3 months ago , and during this months I am very upset .
158I have a friend , his name Peter , he is my best friend .
159One day Peter killed one boy .
160They were just playing and be acsident , Peter shoot him .
161I was there , I saw it .
162I hoped that it , just could see 3 people , but it was mistake ...
163Pat saw it !
164We spoke with Pat many times to keep this secret , not to tell anyone .
165We trusted him .
166At first several days , Pat all the time was with us .
167He promised to keep secret , in the next morning we had arguiment with Pat , 3 of us were shouting at each other , in shorter Pat went away from us .
168Two days later in the morning , the policeman came to Peter ...
169So , now my best friend is prisoner .
170All the time I am thinking about Peter .
171I do n't forget him .
172He will be in the prison 5 years .
173By the way I do n't see Pat about one year .
174Perhaps , he moved into another town .
175It 's good that he far away ...
176I miss Peter very much , it 's unfair to put him in a prison .
177But it 's life , destiny , very cruel destiny ...
178Dear Ms Ryan ,
179I am writing to you regarding the letter you sent me , about the two weeks at Camp California that I won .
180Firstly , I would like to travel in July because I have 2 weeks off in the beginning of the month .
181For the accommodation , I would prefer in tents because I like adventure and simplicity .
182Concerning the available activities , firstly , I would choose climbing because I have practised it for many years .
183Secondely , I am interested in discovering something that I have never done , so I would like to do sailing .
184Finally , I was wondering if some special clothes are required and how much pocket money I need for this trip ?
185I thank you in advanced and looking forward to your reply .
186Yours sincerely
187Dear Kim ,
188I 'm writing to you to relate my experience in helping at a pop concert last month .
189First of all , I would like to tell you that I 've never had a such good time in my life !
190The day one consisted in surrounding the festival 's place with fences .
191The second day objective was to install the scene , with lights , loudspeakers and all stuff .
192This job was quite hard , but we took enough time to be not exhausted !
193The last day , in fact the concert day was absolutely fantastic .
194The public was so excited to see the concert that we had to place some bouncer front of the scene , to avoid the people coming on the concert floor .
195Finally , the concert was exactly that the people were expected .
196I hop that the next time you will come with me !
197I 'm looking forward to hearing your impressions about this !
198See you soon .
199Dear Clark ,
200I am writing to you because I would like to give my personal opinion about the ' international arts festival . '
201First of all I have to say that the whole festival was a greatful success and I also think you chose an appropriate title for the leaflet .
202However , there are some points which can be improved for the next year .
203To begin with , you wrote down in the leaflet that stars and artists from around the world could be seen in the performance in fact their were only six countries involved .
204My suggestion for this point is to invite more people from different countries .
205Furthermore is that some concert halls were definitely to small or in other words to many people attended those concerts .
206This kind of problem you could avoid when you look for big halls at the begining .
207Another point where you could improve is when you show more plays and films next year .
208Nearly at the end of this letter I have to say that the idea with the weekend ticket was really good because it gave to the people the opportunity to attemp a whole weekend for a cheap price .
209To finish this letter with I would like to give you a good idea for next year .
210In my opinion it would be nice if you create an exhibition place where the guests can try to play different instruments .
211Yours sincerely
212How can you earn money in your spare time ?
213I think everybody will ask himself this question one day or has already asked it .
214Anyway the people where asked this question probably found out that it is n't so easy to earn money or that it is sometimes to much work .
215A traditional way to earn money , in the spare time , is to bring newspapers or magazines to the families in your town or village .
216The problems that you have here is the weather .
217For example when it is rainy , because then everything get wet .
218Another suggestion is that you go to your cinema and ask if they need your help for changing the film rolls , for cleaning the toilets or to do some other small jobs .
219But in the case that you really want to do some interesting work in your spare time you should try to sell something where you 're good at , I mean if you 're interested in computers you should try to provide your service for other people .
220Of course in the begining it is hard but you can learn a lot and if you 're good at you 'll also earn some money .
221Okay do n't wait , there where you 're good at and begin .
222Dear Sir/madam
223I am writing with regard to your advertisment .
224During my 2 week 's holiday I would like to attend a musical show .
225It was my favorite play .
226I was very hopefull that I was going to have a good time .
227But there were many things which went wrong .
228Firstly , I have had no discount at paying. secondly there was delay which got me into trouble , After the show I could n't catch my train .
229Because I did n't have any plan I decided to have a lunch in theatre restaurant .
230But it was closed .
231The worst thing is that I could n't watch my favorite actor .
232I was so dissapointted with that .
233I could n't consentrate on the play any more .
234Contrary to the advertisment everything was disapointing .
235I regret to demand all my expenses .
236I hope you are going to be take into consideration my terrible situation .
237I am waiting for a satisfactory answer
238Yours faithfully
239Azami
240Technology has developed increasingly in recent years .
241As a result of this our society has changed a lot .
242On the one hand technology has made our lives more comfortable and easier .
243On the other hand we have faced some problems , such as social and environmental problems .
244Nowadays students have much more facilitis in education than before .
245Although in those days the only way of learning was reading .
246These days we can use computer , television and some sophisticated equipment. which were unusuall before .
247Than to technology we can reach any place in the world easily .
248We can get some information more quickly .
249Technology has a huge effect on our spare time activities as well .
250Children play wit computer instead of usuall plays .
251Despite the huge facilities technology has affected our lives negatively .
252There has been change relatinships between people .
253People are getting more and more lonely .
254We have noticed the environmential damage in recent years .
255While we are using technology , we should take into consideration environment .
256We should n't allow to be exploited the world .
257If we want to leave a good world to the next generations , we should behave more respectfully againgst the nature .
258Dear Mr. Clark ,
259I 'm a italian student who has come to the last International Arts Festival .
260I think this festival is a great idea because it 's a possibility to see and to love the art , but , I think also there are some things thas could be changed .
261I noticed that the artists were from only six countries insted that from around the world .
262This choice does n't give many artists the possibility to expresse themself .
263Some concert halls were too small and often people could n't see the performances .
264There were many events that I think there were a few plays and films .
265Maybe it would be better put more of them in the programme because they like so much to young people .
266The very about young people , the choice to offer a reasonably-priced weekend ticket is a excellent idea because it brings them to have a contact with all what it art .
267I hope that my opinion can help you to set fro the next year a great internation arts festival alone to young people .
268Thank you and greetings .
269I think a good way to get money it 's work in a fast-food .
270Maybe the first impression is n't positive but from my personal experience , I can say that this kind of job is right for get some money .
271For six months I 've worked in a McDonald 's restaurant in Italy and I 've got lots of money .
272I worked eight hours every day but in every fast-food you can work part-time , four , three , six hours every day .
273It depends on what you need .
274This kind of job is perfect for the young people who want get money and in the meantime they have to study .
275If you work in a fast-food you can work in the afternoon , or during the night and so you have time for yourself .
276In the staff you can also find young people and getting fun with them during the work .
277What do you want more ?
278If you need money and you need time for yourself try a job like that .

318Dear Mrs Ryan ,
319I recived your letter and I am very excited about the camp .
320I would like to go in July I do n't mind wich two weeks but it has to be that month because in June I still in school and in August I'am going on holiday with my family .
321I would prefer to sleep in a tent because I think it 's different from where I sleep every night so I would apreciate it if there are still tents available .
322One of the activities I would prefer to do is Climbing , I have n't done a lot of it but I 've always found it interesting and I think this would be a good opportunity to become better in it .
323The other activity I would like to take is tennis , I 'm quite good at it and I have been practising for four years .
324I would like to know what type of clothes I should take and also if I need to take money with me .
325Thanks for your attentions .
326Yours sincerely ,

330Dear Kim ,
331Hello girl how are you doing this days .
332I am great especially last weekend in the concert of Backstreet Boys .
333It was so exciting .
334They were giving two concerts one in Friday and the other one in Saturday they invited me to go on friday .
335This is what happened : when I arrive they told me that I was helping in backstage with the scenery , then the group arrived , we chat for like 15 minutes then they had to go on stage .
336Here is where the good part starts , I was doing the courtines ( opening and closing ) when Nick came to me and ask me to go on stage with him , my heart started beating very hard .
337The next second I was in front of more than 2 thousand people dancing with The Backstreet Boys .
338I had a great time that day .
339Well I have to go now .
340Hope to hear from you later on .
341Love ,
342Anni .
343Dear Sir/Madam The Circle Theatre manager
344I am writing to complain about your product .
345I would like you to back my money because that was not same as your advertisement .
346I was planning to spend my holiday in London when I found your advertisement .
347In the advertisement , you mentioned actors , time , price discount and equipment .
348DANNY BROOK is one of my favorite actor so I decided to buy a ticket even if I cancel my apointment on that day at 18=30 and aslo notice of price discount impressed me .
349However , when I went to the theatre , you did n't anything not only discount but also apporogize us for dalay of starting musical .
350In addition different actor appeared on the stage and I could n't have dinner about the musical because the restrant had been closed .
351It made me so dissapoint and angry .
352You should back my money immedeastry because that night was far from parfect .
353I look forward to hearing from you soon .
354Faithfully ,
355Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
356He always tried to say nothing and did .
357But everyone always noticed he had secrets from his face .
358Whenever he has secrets , his nose moves quickly .
359He had not liked this habit and had thought it was wrost of him until he solved a big crime .
360When all money had gone from a bank , nobady there except Pat .
361Bank robbers said him if Pat told the fact somebody they killed him .
362So .
363Pat did n't say anything .
364But his nose moved quickly when police showed a picture of bank robbers .
365Then police realized who were bank robbers and arested them .
366Although bank robbers complained to Pat , he said nothing to anybody .
367He just moved his nose ! !
368Thanks to his habit , he is still alive and all money were backed to the bank .
369The town became peace again .

411Shopping is not always enjoyable .
412I think this topic is so exciting in the antropological and psicological point of view , because we can studie the reaction before , during and after to shopping .
413People in general have a compulsory actitud for shopping in my opinion .
414Because sometimes the article for to buy is not really necessary .
415We must to accept that media have so important effect in our life in special the T.V .
416For the men and women is important the appearance and they spent a lot of money in buy clothes , cosmetic , accesories , jewels etc. And the other they choose sometimes just for the label .
417Without give really importance to the calidad in reference to the appearance there is more preocupation in the food area , because people in general they do n't spent the time for prepare food and when they shopping they choose pre-prepared food .
418We know is more easy for these busy life .
419In the other hand the facilities for access to mall center is not good .
420The area for parking , space for play grown to the children or bus station near the mall is not really appropiate .
421Otherwise shopping will be more enjoyable .
422I think in the nearly future we need to decide with the goverment. which is special place in the town we lefet just for comerical area , but of course with all the facilities to get there like a big supermarket , and mall centre in different areas of the city .
423DEAR SIR ,
424I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A MUSICAL SHOW THAT IS TAKING PART IN THE CIRCLE THEATRE .
425I WAS WORRIED WHEN I SAW THE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE PLAY IN A NEWSPAPER ON SUNDAY .
426THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS WHEN I READ THE STARRING .
427IT SAID : ' DANNY BROOK ' .
428BUT , WHEN I WAS WATCHING THE PLAY , I REALISED THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT ACTOR AND , REALLY , I WAS DISAPPOINTED .
429ANOTHER PROBLEM WAS THE TIME THAT I HAD TO WAIT .
430I THOUGHT IT WILL BE AT 19.30 AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FORTY FIVE MINUTES ! !
431BESIDES THIS , I COULD NOT VISIT THE RESTAURANT IN THE THEATRE BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSED .
432IN ADITION TO THIS , I DID NOT HAVE ANY DISCOUNT IN MY TICKET .
433SO , I HAD TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO SEE A PLAY THAT WAS A COMPLETELY DISASTER .
434TO SUM UP , I DID NOT SPEND A PERFECT EVENING .
435I THINK THAT IT WAS THE WORST I HAVE EVER HAD .
436ON THE WHOLE , I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY MONEY BACK .
437YOURS FAITHFULLY
438MANUELA BELABARA
439JUST BE YOURSELF
440IN , THE FUTURE , PEOPLE WILL BE WEARING FASHIONABLE CLOTHES LIKE NOW .
441PEOPLE WILL BE VERY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THEY WEAR .
442ONE THE ONE HAND , THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WOULD WEAR FASHIONABLE CLOTHES .
443THIS PEOPLE WILL BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE .
444ON THE OTHER HAND , THERE WILL BE LESS PEOPLE WHO WOULD WEAR WHATEVER THEY LIKE .
445NOWADAYS , PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ALWAYS WORRIED .
446ALL THE TIME THEY ARE ASKING , WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING LIKE AND THEY WASTE A LOT OF MONEY IN CLOTHES .
447ON THE WHOLE , CLOTHES WILL HAVE NO CHANGE .
448IN MY OPINION , PEOPLE WILL GIVE IMPORTANCE TO HOW THEIR PERSONALITY DEVELOP AND THEY WILL GIVE UP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THEY WEAR .
449THEY WILL HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY WHAT THEY NEED AND TO BE HAPPY WITH IT .
450Dear Sir or Madam ,
451Firstly , the actor suppossed to be Danny Brook , but he was not , it was another actor , who I have never seen before , so , as you can imagen , I was very disappointed .
452Another complain is about the time that the musical show started , the advertisement said it started at 19:30 , but it did not , we had to wait 45 minutes .
453It was terrible .
454Now , about the tickets , the were different prices but there were not discounts , and because of this , many people could not see the show , especially students .
455Finally , when the musical show finished , and I have to say , a bit late , I went to the theatre 's restaurant to eat something but this place was closed because the chef had already gone .
456At is explain it was not the perfect evening that I expected to have and I would like to have my money back because of the reasons that I mentioned before .
457Looking forward to hearing from you .
458Yours faithfully ,
459Pat , Maria 's best friend
460Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets , so Maria was very disappointed when she realised that Manuel knew the truth about the feelings that Maria had for him , in fact , she was so angry she almost kill but , she could n't because Pat was her best friend .
461Maria talked to Pat about the stupid thing that she did , but Pat refused to apologaising to her , because she felt it was n't a mistake and she did it for only one reason : help Maria to get the man that she loved .
462Maria was speechless , it was the first time that she did n't know what to do , so she decided to stop talking to Pat .
463After 3 weeks , Maria got ill so she was not available to go to school .
464Some friends phoned her everyday , except Pat , the only friend that Maria really loved , despite that , she was not sad .
465One day , when Maria was seating in her bedroom , someone knock the door , it was Manuel , he was worried for her .
466Maria was nervous , but for the first time , she could talk to him as she never did before , and at the end of the day , she was the happiest person of the world , she gave her first kiss and she had Pat 's friendship back , after all , everything happened because of her .
467Wawsaw , 12th December 2000
468Dear Mr Robertson ,
469First of all , we would like to thank you very much for organising such a wonderfull trip with an interesting program .
470We are all extremely excited especially because of the trip to Greenwich , the town we were always interested in .
471However , there are may other interesting places and exhibitions to see in London .
472It is a coinsidence which we would be extremely happy to take advantage on .
473This is a great opportunity for us to see the latest fashions and famous fashion models who we would like to have authograps from .
474We hope changing the excursion program a little will not cause any problems .
475Our suggestion is to visit Science Museum on Wednesday afternoon instead of Tuesday .
476Because the fashion show lasts a whole day long .
477We are ready to give up our shopping and Free time .
478The show starts on 14th March at 10.00 and ends at 19.00 the same day .
479We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by our request .
480Yours faithfully
481Famous people are living creatures .
482They breathe , eat , feel and beside that they are famous they are just the same as anyone else .
483Nobody likes to be observed constantly or touched by strangers and pointed out in the streets with no right even or just a little privacy .
484I personally think the best would be to put the celebrities in cages and let people touch them , point and ask for authopraps .
485Like in the zoo .
486The biggest commercial gain in history I believe , but celebrities are not animals although they may be sometimes treated the same way .
487On the other hand , they must have done something to become famous .
488It may in many cases , not be true but we can suspect that most of them wanted to become a celebrity and they had to know there is no private life unseparately contected to it .
489To sum up , I believe that everyone has the right to keep privacy of their own homes and even someone extremely famous deserve to have a private life .
490Dear Jane Clark ,
491The purpose of this letter is to congratulate you on the International Arts Fesival I attended last weekend .
492I believe that the event was good , however I feel that the festival can be improved next year .
493Firstly I would like to tell you that the idea of organizing an International Arts Festival is fantastic , but in your advertisement it was said that I would find stars and artists from arround the world , when , in fact , they were from only six countries .
494I do understand that it must be difficult to get these people to go to the festival , but it would be nice if next year we could meet other personalities .
495Secondly I belive you should know that a lot of people , including me , were not able to enjoy concerts because some concert halls were too small .
496I would be very thankful if you could tell me if there will be more plays and films next year .
497Last but not least I would like you to know that I think the idea of the weekend ticket for all events was excellent because in the end it was cheaper than paying for each event separatelly .
498I hope you find my opinion useful .
499Once again congratulations on the Festival .
500I hope to hearing from you soon
501yours sincerelly ,
502tips to earn money
503When the holidays began everybody is happy because it represents the beginning of a time full of fun and lots of interesting things to do , but in order to do these things we all need money and that is a big problem to most of us .
504there are several ways to earn a bit of money in your spare time .
505One of the most common examples is baby- sitting taking care of little children is easy and it does n't require special skills , all you need is a lot of patience .
506If looking after children does n't fit you , you can try with pets .
507Lots of people would pay you to take their dog for a walk .
508So if you like animals this is your chance to earn money and have fun at the same time .
509Another option is to wash your neighbour 's car .
510In this case you need to buy the materials you will work with , but do n't worry , soap is not very expensive .
511the most important thing is that you wisely choose the most suitable work for you , according to the things you like to do .
512If you do n't find anything good enough for you do n't worry , you should always remember : It 's not all about the money !
513To Mr Robertson ,
514Firstly , I would like to thank you for the programme that you provided .
515It was very good programme , especially the river trip to Greenwich , which I am sure the whole class would enjoy .
516However , our class has spotted an advertisement for the London Fashion and Leisure Show and would all wish to attend .
517It will be held at the Central Exhibition Hall in London on the 14th March .
518It will be from 10.00 till 7.00pm .
519The show will be about all the latest fashion , leisure and sports wear , make up and hairstyles .
520We would also not have to worry financially as it is free for students .
521This will be a great opportunity for us because we will be able to find out more about the people of London and their fashions and style we might also get a change to meet new people and interest with them .
522The whole class is also very excited about this fashion show and would really appreciate your giving them a change to go .
523I have a few suggestion on how the programme could be changed to fit the London Fashion and Leisure Show in .
524We could do as planned for Monday and move going to the Science Museum from Tuesday to Wednesday afternoon .
525We would have to forgo the shopping as we might not have enough time and the exchange rate might be too high for us to do much shopping .
526We can however go and look around the shopping mall if we have time after the show .
527Lastly , I would be very grateful if you could give us your permission to go to the show .
528I hope you would consider this matter .
529I look forward to hearing from you .
530Yours sincerely ,
531Everyday , something changes and we become more modern companies use computers instead of books , dentist use modernized electrical item instead of just a plier , even homes are effected .
532From letters to emails , from gas stoves to electric stoves and microwaves , but we are n't just going to stop here are we ?
533No , in the future , the present will be the past and these things now new to use will be old , outdated and changed .
534I see a very different home for us in the future .
535Most things will be computerised .
536We might even be using voice identification and fingerprints instead of keys .
537We an on and off lights with touch pads and remote controllers .
538We might even be able to open the door without getting out from the living room .
539Cameras will be something usual in every house instead of that little peephole in your door .
540Although all that may change our houses may be still the same .
541The rooms and size should remain as it was and the living rooms and all may still be decorated in the same style .
542We might still favour that old carpet and couch .
543The furniture should not change that much on the outside and the amount of rooms should not change too .
544In the future , every child might have a laptop .
545And instead of going to school , why not let school come to you ?
546We will be learning at home using computers and disc .
547Never have to leave the house or wake up so early .
548Another way our home could be different in the future is probably the utilitles we are using .
549We might not need maids to do housework anymore as they can easily be replaced with a robot , a machine , or something other with the same purpose .
550Our homes will still be the same in terms of the kitchen , it will still be filled with vegetables and meat .
551This is because people wo n't miss the great taste of food although it could be subsituted to a vitamin pill or two .
552Lastly , I think that all this changes wo n't really be noticed as we change it daily and slowly instead abruptedly .
553People will be able to adjust and change with the times .
554Dear Mr Robertson ,
555On behalf of our class I would like to give you some information about the London Fashion and Leisure show , that we saw advertised and we are interested indeed .
556In addition we would like to thank you about the programme .
557Firstly , I would like to give you some details about this show .
558It will take place in Central Exhibition Hall , in London , on Tuesday 14th of March and the suitable time will be 10.00 - 19.00
559I would like to mention that this day we are going to visit the Science Museum in the morning and after we are going for shopping , so I believe it will be a good change for all of us to attend this show as it is free for students !
560The most important thing is that the time that the show starts is perfect and is suitable as well with our programme because until 19:00 I think that everyone will have finished their shopping .
561Secondly , I would like to give you more details about the show and particularly what does it include .
562The latest fashion will be on show and also the Leisure and sports wear .
563Really interesting !
564Moreover all about the make up and the hairstyles .
565I think that it will be a great opportunity to all of us to be on this show while we are going to be in London .
566But , if there is a problem that the show is on Tuesday afternoon , the same hour with shopping , I suggest having the shopping on Wednesday afternoon that we will not have anything to do !
567I look forward to your reply ,
568Yours sincerely ,
569Some people think that to be a famous person is very excuiting thing , that all the time this makes you feel completely and also they think that if you are famous you are special as well .
570I believe , that if somebody wants the fame and the glory must be tottally sure about the results .
571For example , the politicians the have choosed their careers , they must know that they are going to involved with everything that it has to do with publicity and their country and the most important is that they have to realize that they should be extremely careful of their movements or else they are going to have bad reputation , and they will be not trustworthy .
572Another succesfull carreer such as , film stars must also be balanced .
573If somebody is a film star this mean that has got a different kind of life , more comfortable , more interesting but it does n't mean that he or she ca n't be like normal people even if he or she is a star .
574If somebody wants to be famous of cource must be on the top and the mass media will be following him or her .
575But I think that the are limits .
576Everybody deserve to have a private life even if he is a plumber or even if she is a famous singer .
577It does n't matter what kind of carreer or job you are follow .
578You must control your behaviour and try not implove so much yourself .
579And finally the journalists the should know how to respect the private life of everyone and not trying to make money for a living by using the reputation of the famous people .
580Dear Mr Robertson ,
581Firstly , I 'm writing to thank you the great opportunity you give us , especially in planing all this programme in a such acurate way .
582I think that this programme has a good organisation , as you know , due to we have enough time to visit plenty of local interest points .
583But , I was wondering , like a student of this college , if we would change part of this programme ... we 'd like to go to the London Fashion and Leisure Show .
584It takes place on Tuesday 14th and begins at ten o'clock .
585In this way , we can go to visit the Science Museum earlier in the morning and the , we can go to the show .
586Front my point of view , we are very interested in the latest fashions like the leisure , sports wear , make up , hairstyles , you know ...
587I strongly believe that we will be at the right time and best city to appreciate it .
588Please let me know if you are agree with us !
589Oh I forgot about it !
590Besides , this show is gree ( another positiu point ) .
591Looking forward to hearing from you .
592Yours sincerely
593FANCY GETTING TO KNOW THE FUTURE ?
594Do you think you 've the future in your hands ?
595Do you think we 're living like old times ?
596Would you like living in a modern way ?
597What do you expect about the future ?
598Can you compare it ... ?
599Are you afraid ?
600Well , you can look at your house ...
601Nowadays , we have all kind of instruments to washing up the dishes , to cook to be more comfortable , for example the TV , the video recorder , etc .
602Maybe , in a few years later we 'll have a bigger TV , a more suitable radio but , from my point of view , I think these facts will not change the way of our lifes .
603We will be able to accelerate the process of the computer 's games for example ...
604But not in the strange way you can imagine ... I mean I do n't think we 'll change cars by aereoplanes ...
605In this way , you have to be calm because as you know the things are developing in the same way you'r changing , too .
606In conclusion , I strongly believe that the the house of the future will be the house of a new mindness it will be a very positiu point for opening our lifes .
607So , we have the future in our hands !
608Think about it .
609Dear Principal , First of all , we would like to thank you for good programme which provides us 3 days stay in London .
610It contains a wide range of activities for example , sightseeing , river trip , visiting science museum and gallery , shopping .
611It is certain that the programme will give the students considerable enjoyment .
612However , we have found an advertisement for the London Fashion and Leisure show , which will be held at Central Exhibition Hall on 14th of March .
613The advertisement says that the show is full of many interesting programmes , such as the latest fashions , leisure and sports wear , make up and hairstyles etc. Moreover , students are allowed to admit for free .
614All of us would like to attend the show because young people , particularly girls are interested in fashion and make up , so we are expecting the show will be the great opportunity to see what the new trend in fashion will be like .
615It would be grateful if you give a little change in programme so that we are able to attend the show .
616It seems to be good to change the programme of 14th into the London Fashion and Leisure show , instead of the science museum and shopping .
617I am looking forward to hearing from you .
618Technical and Warm Home People 's way of life has considerably been changed by rapdily developing mordern technology .
619To begin with , it will be good to look back on how our parents have lived in a house .
62050 years ago , Korean mothers should have made a fire by burning woods to warm a room up and make food .
621Since the eletric fire and microwave oven had been invented , their life have been far easier than before .
622Today , however , people do not need to spend many times on making food , washing up , or even on turning on an off the light .
623Machines , such as a dish washer , laundry machine and remote controller help us jut to relax or do a little work necessary .
624From my point of view , people 's home in the future will be controlled by a computer which is devised in every machine , TV , cooker and the light , connecting to the owner .
625He/she can just press the button or send e-mail to operate what he/she needs , even though the owner is far from the house .
626In spite of the computer , children will need food their mothers make and love expressed not by a computer , but by parents themselves .
627Computer might know better than human , but there are many things which it can not replace in our life .
628Dear Ms Ryan ,
629I was enthusiatic about receiving your letter .
630I will give you all the necessary information .
631I would like to travel in July because during that period I will be free from work , my current post finishes at the end of June but I will start another job at the beginning of August .
632I would prefer to stay in tents rather than in log cabins , because it would be a new experience for me and I would like to try something different .
633As far as the activities are concerned , I have chosen to do Tennis and Swimming .
634I am good at playing Tennis and I have been learning to swim for three months so it could be a useful training for me .
635Moreover I would like to know what kind of clothes are the best for living in the camp and if I need to bring with me a large amount of money .
636I want to thank you for this prize , let me know if you need further information .
637I look forward to hearing from you .
638Yours sincerely ,
639Bianca Botticelli
640Dear Kim ,
641In your last letter you asked me about the concert ... oh it was fantastic !
642I 've always loved music so working in a concert was great .
643You ca n't imagine how many people are involved in the organization of a concert , apart from the musicists and the singers , there are people who work with lights , who organize the security service ... it was so exciting !
644My work consisted in checking the tickets , the number on them and taking the people to their seats .
645It was also very tiring because all the people arrived at the same time and they did n't want to wait for my help ; so they went around the theatre , looking for their seats and making so much noise .
646Sometimes I think that people never grow up , if they had been a class of children , they would have made less noise ! !
647Anyway , it was a great experience in spite of these little problems .
648Now I have to go , write soon and let me know what you have been doing .
649Lots of love
650Bianca

652Dear Helen :
653I 've recived your letter and I am pleased to have won because I needed some days to relax myself and to leave the city , which is very extressing .
654I only can travel on July because I am working in an office and I must ask my boss for a holiday and it 's the mounth he can give me , so I hope it is n't a problem for you .
655To spend the two weeks I would prefer to live in tents , that 's in my opinion a way to be nearer the enviroment and the animals , although I do n't mind living in log cabins .
656In spite of liking all the sports you wrote in your letter I am only good at climbing and sailing , because I am used to practise them with my father since I was a child .
657I have got a doubt , it is not very important , but I would like to know if I need any money or all is payed , the kind of clothes I should wear , if the weather is good or bad ... and all the extra information you can send me .
658Thank you very much for the prize .
659Yours faithfully .
660Eliza Vasquez .
661Why people like so much go shopping ?
662In my opinion the majority of the people that go shopping are women who must buy food and other kind of things for her family , so for them , shopping is a very boring activity that is repeated everyday and that drive them crazy when they have to choose the best product and the cheapest price to save some money .
663Othrewise , there are people who think the opposite ; such as : children , teenagers , men ; but not always , because they go to buy hardly ever , only when they need clothes or something for their job or school .
664In that way shopping can be as funny as you want , although if you do it very often , it will be as an obligation in the future .
665To sum up , all you make in small cuantities is good and funny , but do n't encrease them if you do n't want to feel uncomfortable .
666Dear Ms Ryan
667Thank you for your letter .
668I was so happy to hear that I have won a two weeks holiday in the U.S.A .
669I would like to travel in July .
670I am going to finish my exams in June , and I am planning to go back to China in early August .
671So if I could travel in July , and coming back before 6th of August , that would be great .
672I would prefer living in tents to log cabins .
673I have never had any experience to live in a tent , so I would like to give it a go .
674I think I will enjoy myself in a tent .
675I love swimming , but I am not any good at swimming .
676I really wanted to learn how to swim .
677I was wondering if there is a coach could give us a lesson during the Camp .
678Also , I would like to join basketball team , I used to play basketball when I was in high school , and our high school basketball team have won many competitions during last ten years in our city .
679I am glad I had taken a part in a few competitions , and I was so proud of our basketball team .
680Would you tell me that how much money you would give it to me and how is the weather like in U.S.A. Thank you for every thing !
681Yours faithfully
682Dear Kim ,
683It was great to hear from you , have n't seen you since last summer holiday , hope everything is fine in your place .
684You wanted to hear about my experience at the pop concert which I enjoyed helping last month ?
685I must say that was a great fun , I 've never had this kind of experience before .
686Before the concert actually started I had to give out lots of leaflets , they are list of pop band and group which will appear in the concert in order , and some information about their performance and backgrounds .
687After that , I had to help people who had a ticket but ca n't find their seat .
688During the concert , I did n't have a lot to do , so I had chance to see most of the performance , that was excellent .
689I was excited that I had a closer look at so many famous pop stars .
690During break time I did give a lots of direction to people who ca n't find toilet , and information such as where they could have a cup of coffee .
691That was bit boring , but it was part of my job .
692I got to go .
693Write to you next time .
694Love

696Dear Ms Ryan ,
697I am writing in response to your letter about the first prize in the Competition .
698I am very looking forward to going to California and I would like to go in July , because I am going to have my summer holidays in that month .
699About accommodation , I would prefer log cabins , because I have a problem in my back .
700Therefore , I need to sleep in a bed .
701Also tents are not fairly comfortable .
702As far as camp activities concerned , I have been doing windsurfing for 5 years , for that reason , I am fairly interested in sailing .
703On the other hand , I keen on painting , however , I have never painted in my life , so I would like to try it .
704Finally , I was wondering what kind of clothes I have to wear in California ?
705In addition , could you advice me how much money I need for the trip ? and is there anything else do I have to know ?
706I look forward to hearing from you .
707Yours Sincerely

709Hello Kim ,
710I 've received your letter two days ago and I 'm quite happy to know that you passed F.C.E. I 'm ok and let me tell you about my last experience .
711I went to Madrid last week and I was walking in the street when somebody asked me an address .
712I looked at him and I realised that this person was David Bowie .
713Yes ! ! !
714I could n't believe it .
715He was trying to speak in Spanish , but his accent was terrible .
716So , I started to speak in English with him .
717I explained to him where was the street that he was looking for and we carried out with the conversation for a while .
718I thought he was very rude , but I was wrong , he is n't arrogant at all and he looks very simply .
719I liked my experience with him and I think the best part was when he gave me his e-mail address .
720Yeah ! ! !
721I 'm not joking , I got his e-mail .
722Well my friend , I have to go , because I got an appoinment with the Dentist .
723Write me soon and take care .
724Best wishes
725Dear Helen ,
726I learnt from you letter that I 've won the first prize .
727I felt how luck I was .
728I understood you want to know when am I available to set off and where I 'd like to stay .
729First of all I will be able to go U.S.A in July because of my university .
730I am studying Economics and I am very busy nowadays .
731My exams will have finished at the end of June .
732I will only be able to set off in July and I also will give my thesis to my teacher in August .
733This holiday will help me to think and prepare it .
734I 'd prefer staying in log cabins because I need a proper place to say and study .
735Basically , I do n't like staying in a small tent .
736When I get the camp , I 'd like to swim and climb .
737I used to climb mountains and am good at climbing .
738I am fond of swimming but unfortunately I am not a good swimmer .
739I 'd like to ask some questions which I want to know .
740Is there any toilet and shower in the log cabins or somewhere nearby ?
741Do I have to bring any special clothes ?
742Do you have any idea what is the weather going to be ?
743How much mone do you recommend me to bring with me ?
744Is the camp close to town or city ?
745Will you provide me an instructor when I climb and swim ?
746I look forward to hearing from you soon .
747Yours sincerely ,
748Dear Kim ,
749I have n't written you for ages .
750I do apologise for this .
751How are you ?
752How is your new school and parents ?
753I hope we can catch up with each other 's news .
754Last month I helped the service crew at a pop concert .
755It was unbelievable and tiring as well .
756I saw all the pop bands and singers .
757I heard them talking behind the stage .
758They signed my diary and took a photo with me .
759Being a security guard was the hardest task .
760Carrying big speakers place to place was extremely tiring but we had loads of laugh .
761Believe it or not I put make up on one famous singer 's face .
762I was just walking down by dressing room manager said that if I could help them .
763I could n't believe my eyes .
764I was in her room and helping her .
765Especially I liked that time .
766I advise you to do something like that .
767I 'm going to help them again .
768I look forward to hearing from you .
769Yours sincerely ,
770Dear Miss Ryan ,
771I 'm writing to you as regards the letter you 've sent me about the competition I 've won .
772I 've never been to the U.S.A. before so I think it 'll be an exciting trip .
773With regard to the date of the trip , July would be best because in June I 'm going to visit my family in Mexico and in August school begins .
774I 've never been camping before , I guess I 'm not an outdoor girl , but I 'd like to give it a try , so I 'd rather tents than cabins .
775I 'm really keen on sports , especially sailing .
776I 've practised sailing since an early age and I perfectly manage the rigging and sail .
777I 'm also fond of tennis , I 've just started my lessons and would like to continue practising during the summer .
778So , I think I 'll do sailing and tennis .
779I 'm not really sure of what kind of clothes to take , could you please write to me specifying what would be suitable ?
780I 'd appreciate it a lot .
781Sincerely ,
782Diana Delgado
783Shopping is not always enjoyable
784I 'm a shopaholic , but I have to admit shopping is not always enjoyable .
785For instance , I spent my Spring Break with my friends in Italy , we went there to buy our dresses for our boyfriends ' graduation ( besides other reasons ) .
786They had invited us and we wanted them to see us stunningly beautiful .
787While we were in Florence my wallet was stolen , probably by a gypsie .
788I was so annoyed !
789I was in the Plaza Espagna in Florence without a penny !
790My friends lent me some money , but it was n't more than 120 pounds .
791I had to buy my dress , it 's accesories and besides clothes and souvenirs !
792I could n't really do much , so I used the money I had and bought an incredible pair of shoes and some souvenirs .
793I felt really bad seeing my friends buy the latest fashion while the only thing I could do was tell them how great their clothes were and of course window-shop .

821You are interessted on my last job !
822I really like to tell you all my experience .
823However , I 'm happy that we finished this hard work .
824I worked in a team by seven people .
825We were mainly on work for all the lights at this great concert .
826Its sounds easy , just for the light .
827In addition , it was a nine days hard work to mount all the different spot and houndreds of Coblights on the right place .
828Finally , we had worked the hohl night befor the concert .
829We had to adjust the laser extremly on the correct position .
830We spent hours till it was good enough for the Technical-manger .
831Moreover , the band was exhausted about this great laser show at the end .
832For me was this aventure one of the Best .
833It shows , when all member of a group work hard together , you can reach a lot .
834I think I ca n't forgotten this experience on my mind
835Lots of Love
836Leon
837Dear Manager ,
838With this letter I want to show you some problems I had last week in your theatre with your show .
839First of all , I want to introduce myself .
840I was very upset because the show had many problems .
841First the actor was changed and his performance was very poor and disappointing .
842Then , the show began 45 minutes later , so we had to wait very long .
843The advertisement said there were discounts available , which were not .
844At the end you said it will be a Restaurant , but it was closed , so we could n't eat anything untill we got home .
845I hope you understand your faults and I 'm asking you for the money back .
846Faithfully Yours
847I do n't know if technology has totally changed my life , because I was born with it and I have learned it since I was a little boy .
848For example , I was born knowing the man has stepped on the moon .
849There are some machines which have helped in my development , and others which help me to make my life easier .
850The computer for example makes communication much easier and faster then in past time , when everything was send by common mail , and it took weeks till it got the right place .
851There are other machines which are bad for the environment .
852Many industries throw their contaminated air away , without cleaning it before .
853Technology has to move further so it can solve problems as pollution , so we can live better and longer .
854Dear Helen
855I am very surprised for have received your letter in which you explained to me that I have won prize in your competition .
856After that , I would like to say Thanks , I never have won any price at all .
857Now , I will answer your requests .
858In reference about the date of the travel , I would like to travel in July because at the moment I am working at the University and I only have July to take my holidays .
859As state in your letter I have to choose the accommodation type .
860I would prefer to stay in tents because since I was a child I have being using this type of accommodation .
861I used to go to campings .
862About camp activities I would prefer to do basketball and photography .
863I have choosen these activities because actually I am playing with university team , and photography is my favoorate hobby .
864I have recently bought a new camera .
865Finally let me know what kind of clothes will be the most suitable at camp .
866Is necesarilly bring to me money in there ?
867I look forward to hearing from you
868Yours sincerely
869Dear Kim
870I am writen to you telling about my experience at a pop concert .
871It began when ours common friends Martha , ofered me to be a organization member at the concert , obviously I accepted .
872Now I can tell you that it was an amaizing challange for me because I never did anything like that .
873My duties like a organization member were diferent , the firts day I had to pick the bands up at the airport , for it I hired a van .
874The following day I was the person who provide the meals for all the organization staff and besides every day I was at the back-stage supporting the catering staff .
875Particularly I am pleased to had know the most popular pop stars in the world .
876Hopping to hear from you
877Best wishes
878Dear Sir/Madam ,
879I have recently been in London for spending a week 's holiday .
880As I am an enthusiasmic of musicals I went to see this musical show .
881I am very disappointed because the things that were writen on the advertisment were not really true .
882It was writen that the stars would be Danny Brook and Tina Truelove .
883Danny Brook is one of my favorite actors and there was playing another one .
884I felt abosolutly disapointed .
885The musical should have begun at 19:30 , but it started at 20:15 ; it is inacceptable !
886It was writen too that there were discounts available and I asked for them and they said me that they were n't allow to do any discount .
887After the show me and my friends wanted to have a drink and the theatre restaurant was closed because there were n't enough drinks .
888As you say in your advertisment it was not my perfect evening out and therefore I would like to have my money back .
889I look forward to hearing from you .
890Yours faithfully ,
891Ms MARIA AROZ
892How has modern technology changed our daily life ?
893Modern technology has changed a lot our daily life .
894On one hand nowadays if we have to travel to Paris and return in the same day you can take a plane without any problem .
895In the past it was impossible to go to Paris from Barcelona and come back in one day .
896Another advantage is that if you go on an excursion and you take your mobile phone , if you get lost somebody could find you .
897I think that the most important modern technology in these days is internet .
898With internet you can do whatever you want without going out home ( shoping , speaking with a friend , working , putting your money aside .... )
899On the other hand the main disadvantage is that using modern machines it can be very difficult for ederly people ; it would be very pratitable if the modern industries train people about using modern technologies .
900To sum up modern technology has change a lot our daily life and this is going to increase .
901Dear Mr Robertson !
902I 'm writting to you to thank you for good programme of our English class in London , especially for river trip to Greenwich , it will be a great experience for us .
903It will be very interesting for us to see the latest fashions , make up , hairstyles and we can speak to English people and make new friends .
904There is one more advantage : it is free for students .
905So we would like to suggest you how the programme could be changed .
906First of all on Tuesday we all will go to the show and spend there all our day , but on Wednesday in the afternoon when we have free time we can go to the Science Museum if you do n't mind , of course .
907Please let us know , as soon as you make your decission .
908With best wishes , your student .

910Dear Lucas !
911Thank you very much for your letter , I was glad to get it and know a lot of news about you .
912First of all I want to congratulate your cousin with fifteenth birthday and with all the best .
913I hope that it will be good holiday for her , her family and friends .
914Now about your questions , it is very difficult for me to give any advice you about it , I do n't know your cousin very well so I do n't know what she prefers reading .
915So I can recommended you to present this book , because it is very interesting , amuse , sometimes dramatic and mystery book .
916This book help us to impove our logic , mind , memory and it teaches the reader not to lie , be more honest with other people and pay attention for the smallest details in our life because sometimes it can help us very very much .
917So I hope I could help you .
918Write me as soon as you can .
919With best wishes , your
920Dear Helen Ryan
921I have just received your letter , and thank you very much for your reply .
922I am very happy to take part in the competition and I would like to give you all the information you need :
923First of all , I am available to travel in July from 1st to 20th because my university will be closed during this month .
924Secondly , if you do n't mind , I would prefer to sleep in a tent .
925Although it is not very comfortable , I like camping very much .
926Thirdly , I am very interested in swimming and also climbing .
927I took up climbing five years ago and I am very keen on .
928I am very good at swimming as well because I practise this sport every week in my city .
929Finally , could you tell me what I need to dress and also how much money I will spend on .
930I look forward to hearing from you .
931Yours sincerely ,
932I have asked to write a composition regarding the questionit is believed that shopping is not always enjoyable .
933In fact , to do shopping can be some disavantages for different reasons :
934Firstly , you have to queue for a long time to get a free cabin and waste of time putting on some clothes and in the end they are not the right size .
935Secondly , it is easy to spend a lot of money in few minutes and as soon as you can regret to buy all these clothes , which you do n't really need .
936Thirdly , some clothes can have some stains on and you have n't noticed this before buying , so you have to go back to the shop .
937However , it is not easy to get a refund or to change them .
938In my opinion , doing shopping bring me a lot of satisfaction especially I am depressed , nevertheless it could be very dangerous for my wallet .
939Dear Sir or Madam ,
940I 'm writing to complain about the service you 'd offered me last Saturday evening at The Circle Theatre .
941I 've read your advertisement and it did n't say the truth .
942There were n't any discount available as you 'd assured in the add .
943I think you should check the information before print it !
944I arrived at the right time ( 19.30 ) that evening but the play , which was ' Over The Rainbow ' , started almost an hour later .
945And nobody told me why !
946When the play began I realised that the main actor had been changed and the new one was n't good at all .
947I could n't visit the theatre after the performance because it was closed for reparations .
948Why did n't you say something about it ?
949I did n't have the ' perfect evening out ' you 'd promised so I want to ask for my money back because your service was terrible .
950Please answer my letter as soon as possible .
951I 'll be looking forward to hearing from you .
952Yours faithfully ,
953Marcella , Scalia C .
954' How Has Modern Technology Changed My Daily Life ? '
955This is not a simple question because I got used to dealing with technology since I was a child but I 'm going to try to explain you how .
956I did n't have a computer until I was eight .
957Then my brother and I started to develop a new ability .
958In that time I used the computer only to play with its video games .
959When I was thirteen I discovered a completely different use for my computer .
960It became scencial to do my homework .
961And years later it enabled me to get a very good job .
962One day my mother got a terrible disease .
963She had to be operated on and my family and I were very scared .
964But when we talked to the doctor we felt more relaxed because he answered us that the operation was a very simple one .
965I think that if my mother had got ill ten years before , she would n't survive .
966The modern technology is better now than what it used to be .
967What do you think about this ?
968I 'm sure that these arguments have explained my point of view , have n't they ?
969Now I would like to have your point of view .
970Dear Mrs. Ryan ,
971I 'm writing you in response to your letter , I was delighted to know that I won the first price .
972With reference to the date , I only can go on July , as I 'm going off on holiday on August , and I start university on September .
973The place I 'd prefer to stay in is a log cabin , where I 'm sure I 'd feel more confortable than in a tent .
974It 's very nice of you to let me choose my favourite activities .
975The ones I 'm most keen on are Tennis , in which I think I 'm pretty good since I took some classes last year , and Painting , which is one of my favourite hobbies , and helps me to relax myself and forget about problems .
976I think I 'm not bad at painting either , at least everyone in my family likes my work , includying myself .
977Anyway , there are some questions I 'd like to ask you : What kind of clothes would be the most suitable for California weather in summer , and how much money do you think I 'll need ?
978I 'm waiting forward to hearing from you soon .
979Yours sincerely ,
980Manela B .
981Dear Kim ,
982I 'm so sorry I have n't written until now , but you know I 'm always very busy .
983As I told you in my last letter , last month I worked for a pop band , and helped them at a concert in Barcelona .
984It was such a great experience !
985Basically my work was carrying the instruments , the speakers and the lights from the vans to the stage , which is not an easy work because , as you can imagine , it 's not exactly light stuff .
986But the most exciting part was meeting the band , mainly the singer and the drummer who are very nice and also good-looking .
987Anyway , I had lot of fun working for them .
988I hope they call me soon , I 'd be the happiest girl in the world if I could see them again ...
989I 'd better leave now .
990I hope you write again soon .
991Manela B .
992Dear Madam
993I am very happy to win this prize and I am going to give you some information from me that you need to make me have a good time at Camp California .
994I would like to know only in July because I have set my holidays this month since last January .
995I want if it is possible a log cabins like accommodation because I have been suffering from my back since my childhood , therefore I need a confortable accommodation .
996I will be pleased to swim and paint when I am at the camp .
997I selected swimming because it is a cure against my backace and I have not practiced since I started my new job five years ago .
998I also choosed painting because I have never done before , I would like to learn and moreover I want to do a calm activity .
999Otherwise , could you tell me approximately how much money I have to take for the food , please ?
1000Yours sincerely .
1001Xavier Fournier
1002How many times have we heard people complaining about shopping ?
1003Sometimes , they are happy to do shopping. but why ?
1004Therefore , shopping can be enjoyable but it is not always the case .
1005Shopping is enjoyable when you want to offer some thing to someone .
1006In fact you try to get a present to make receive happy .
1007Shopping is also good , when you know what you want .
1008For example if you want a new track suit you know that you have to go to a sport shop but if you do n't know what you want you are going to waste your time in the shops .
1009In the opposite , shopping can be disenjoyable .
1010Shopping is boring if you go with people too fussy .
1011That is to say , they are never happy with what they get and see .
1012They always find a problem .
1013Shopping is not enjoyable with people who just look around the shops .
1014It is stupid , they do not have any goal .
1015They waste their time .
1016To conclude , I agree with shopping is not always enjoyable .
1017Even if I like to do shopping with some people and kind of shops I will kill myself because I waste my time .
1018To the manager of the
1019Circle Theatre in London
1020I 'm a tourist and I had a week 's holiday in London a few time ago .
1021I had enjoied to see the musical show that the Circle Theatre presented some night ago ; and the actor 's Danny Brook performance .
1022I went to the theatre at 19.30 o'clock but , with my surprise , the show started at 20:15 and so I could n't remain here until the end because I left London , with my group before the end of the show .
1023The star , the actor Danny Brook , there was n't in the musical show but there was an other actor , with my great disappoint .
1024Then , in the program I could read a discount available for the tickets , for the groups , but I could n't have that .
1025I could n't have all the things I expected .
1026That evening was terrible for me and for my friends , so I 'm not satisfied about your informations and I ask some money back .
1027I hope in your answer and in your explanation about this .
1028Your Sincerely
1029Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
1030Some days ago , when the school was ending , Pat and her friends decided to make a party for their friend , Frances , because the end of the school and the Francis 's birthday were the same day .
1031That might be a secret for Francis - and they decided the program and the present , a new gold watch .
1032Peter and Sue asked to Francis some help for their exam 's subjets and Francis , for to help them , was very busy all the week .
1033The last day all the friends went to Pat 's home with food , musical instruments , tape recorder .
1034Pat was very excited about this .
1035In the afternoon she had phoned at a Francis 's mother and she explained her the secret , then she phoned at her best friend and she speak about that too ; she phoned at many people all the day .
1036In the night Francis was invited to the party , at Pat 's home .
1037When he was out he needed to buy some cigarettes so he went to the shop where the owner , a his friend , ask him if he was very happy about his present , the new gold watch , he was very lucky to have best friends like Pat and her friends .
1038The Francis 's secret was discovered !
1039Now all the Pat 's friend do n't tell her about their secrets because Pat is n't very good at keeping secrets .
1040Dear Sir ,
1041Firstly , you spoke about two actors Danny Brook and Tina Truelove , instead of them we had two others and they were really bad .
1042So I was really surprised .
1043In addition to this you started the show 45 minutes late .
1044It was boring for everybody .
1045How could we appreciate the show properly .
1046Moreover , in your advert you spoke about discounts available but it was not the case .
1047No discounts were available .
1048Then you offered people to visit your theatre restaurant after the show but it was closed because there is no staff to welcome the people .
1049You offered something impossible to do .
1050I did not have a good time for all of this reasons and I would like you to give my money back .
1051I hope your understand my request and you are going to reply as soon as possible .
1052Thank you .
1053yours sincerely
1054O. Labro
1055Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
1056The nightmare started at this time .
1057I though she was a really good friend but I made a mistake .
1058She could n't keep my secret and everybody knew which boy I was in love with .
1059She did n't tell me yet but when I came in class everybody was looking at me and this boy as well .
1060I looked at her and she became pale and suddently left the class .
1061I followed her and caught her to push her on the ground .
1062I was ready to fight but somebody stopped me .
1063I could n't go back to the class so I went home .
1064My Mum was at home and I told her all the story .
1065She said that I had to be strong and did n't care about them .
1066So I went to the class and everybody was laughing at me and the boy told them to stopped because he loved me and wanted to be with me .
1067At this time all the girls became jealous and stopped to laugh .
1068Dear Mr Robertson .
1069It is a pleasure to write to you and we want to thanks for organising a school trip to London .
1070We have seen the programme list and we all think it will be enjoyable .
1071Especially to the science museum because we all doing science in school .
1072Recently , some students have seen an advertisment about a fashion and leisure show in London. it will be on the 14th and we all want to go .
1073So , it would be greatful if you can give us this opportunity to watch the show .
1074This is a great opportunity to learn something else because most of us have not been to this kind of show And it is free for students. it will be incredible if we have a chance to watch the show .
1075So could you give us permission to go ?
1076We also can suggest how the originally programme can be changed .
1077We will have free time on Wednesday afternoon .
1078So we can do shopping instead .
1079Then , we can go to the show during that period
1080We are all looking forward for you answer .

1083It was dangerous , but I knew I had to do it .
1084Because there was a man had a serious car accident and I was walking pass him .
1085Nobody had noticed him because it happened at night and the car had actually crashed into the bushes .
1086I was thinking ' what should I do ? ' I have n't got my mobile phone with me And I was half way between my school and home .
1087At that time he was unconcious , I kept asking myself should I wake him up or try to use my unsure first aid skill to deal with him .
1088I was struggling because I knew if I did n't help him , he would die in a short time .
1089I decided to do something to this man , my first move was to check was there any solid or liquid which could blocked his breathe .
1090And checking his body condition .
1091After that I turned on the car light in order to tell the passing cars .
1092I ran back home for help .
1093I phoned to police And told the whole story .
1094The strange thing happened to me , when I got back to that man .
1095The car and the man were not there anymore .
1096Where could they be ?
1097I was wondering .
1098Oh , sorry they were not in this road , they were in the next road .
1099Dear Madam :
1100I just receive your letter with the good news .
1101I am very happy for winning the first prize in your competition and I am glad to tell you that I am planning to go but I can only travel on July because I have to work until the end of June .
1102For the accommodation I would like to have log cabins rather than tents because two weeks is quite a long time and I think they are more comfortable and give you more privacy .
1103I enjoy swimming and singing and I would like to join others in these activities .
1104I am an average swimmer and as a singer I am not a start but it would be fun to share my songs with the holiday makers .
1105Can you please give me some recomendations about the clothes I will need and also the cost of the food there to make my budget .
1106Thank you for these wonderful two weeks at Camp California .
1107Yours faithfully
1108Shopping is not always enjoyable
1109In my opinion shopping sometimes is really boring specially when you buy at the supermarkets almost all the time the same things like cleaning products and the ingredients for every day food .
1110On the other hand everything looks different if I have to make a present for someone in my family .
1111I start thinking what she or he prefer and I try my best buying something apropiate does n't matter how much money does it cost .
1112In conclusion most of the time that you spend shopping you put a lot of effort choosing things and making decissions and they are more or less important , or more or less enjoyable depends on what , why , where and who is the person that you are interested to please .

1128MAY 29 , 1997 .
1129IT WAS MY FIRST TIME IN LONDON .
1130THAT NIGHT I WENT TO A PUB IN BAYSWATER .
1131WHEN THEY CLOSED I TOOK THE 7 BUS .
1132I WAS LIVING QUITE CLOUSE TO PORTOBELLO ROAD BUT I DID N'T KNOW VERY WELL THE AREA BECAUSE ALL TIME I JUST HAD TO GET OFF IN THE COURNER OF MY HOUSE .
1133BUT THAT DAY , LIKE I WAS KIND OF DRUNK , I DID N'T REALISE THAT THE BUS TOOK A DIFFERENT WAY ; SO WHEN I NOTICED IT THE DRIVER WAS ALREADY ASKING ME TO GET OFF , BECAUSE WE WHERE IN THE GARAGE IN PORTOBELLO .
1134I TOLD HIM , I DID N'T KNOW WHERE I WAS BUT HE JUST SEID SORRY .
1135I WAS REALY SCARE .
1136THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE AROUN BUT I WAS AFRAID TO ASK THEM THE WAY I SHOULD TAKE .
1137IT WAS DANGEROUS , BUT I KNEW I HAD TO DO IT .
113810 MINUTES AFTER I WAS FOLLOWING HIM , I START KNOWING THE PLACE , AND I WAS FELLING MORE CONFORTABLE .
1139HE TOOK ME RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE .
1140I THANK HIM SO MUCH , AND I WAS SO HAPPY THAT I ASKED TO THE RIGHT PERSON AND NOTHING WRON HAPPEN TO ME .
1141Dear Sir or Madam ,
1142I am writing in order to explain to you the problems regarding the musical show I saw at your theatre .
1143First of all , there was written in the advertisement for the show , that there would be Danny Brook as main actor , but a different actor played in the show .
1144The show started forty-five minutes later and this really disappointed me .
1145Besides , when I bought the ticket , I found out there was not discounts for ticket , while you wrote the contrary .
1146Moreover , I could not go to the theatre restaurant because , by the time the show had finished , it had already closed .
1147Definetely , it was a very disappointing evening and I would appreciate your if it was possible to have my money back .
1148I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future .
1149Yours faithfully ,
1150Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
1151She was a very pretty and kind girl , but she had this bad habit .
1152This was her only fault .
1153She had a lot of friends but nobody trusted her .
1154That was why she decide to change her behaviour .
1155She was given a chance : if she had been able not to tell everybody a secret for a short time , her friends would have started trusting her .
1156The secret was about a surprise-party for her bestfriend 's birthday .
1157As soon as the arrangement for the party started , she began to feel nervous and anxious because she wanted to tell everything to her bestfriend .
1158But , as the days went by , she was surprised because she realized she was getting used not to tell secrets any more .
1159The day of the party arrived and Pat succeeded in keeping the secret .
1160All her friends were amazed at her change and started trusting her at once .
116117th June 2000
1162Dear Sir !
1163Pleas apologise me , but there were many mistakes and problems on the note you have made , which disappointed me very .
1164I thought that Dany Brook who is my favorite actor play in that show .
1165And I was really disappointed when I saw Jeremy Brook on the stage .
1166Please , if you would be so kind and mind correct this mistake .
1167I would be gratefull if you could correct too that show start at 20.15 not on 19.30 .
1168Other thing was that there was no discounts available , and that the restaurant which I wanted to visit after the show was closed because of the main cooker sikness .
1169I would be very grateful if I could get my money back .
1170That evening which should be my perfect evening out , was in fact very tireing and boring .
1171Apologise me for disturb .
1172I am looking forward for answer !
1173Best regardes !
1174Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets , I knew that he 's very talkative person , but it was nessesery because I wanted him to be the main director of that birthday party for tenes .
1175It started a week before that day .
1176Pat arranged great DJ and drinks .
1177My friend and I made a perfect decoration with ballons and other party stuff .
1178Everyone told us it was breath taking .
1179Everything was set ... the day and hour came .
1180Everyone gathered in disco at 21.00 .
1181We were only waiting for Agatha who should come at 22 o'clock with her boyfriend .
1182It was so exaiting ! ! !
1183She entered the room , and everyone shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR !
1184She was so touched that we started to cry .
1185Enyway the disco was great , music also .
1186We had fun to 5 o'clock !
1187Agatha said that it was the greatest present she could ever get !
1188Dear Mr/Mrs ,
1189I 've seen your festival and I would like to give you my suggestions to it .
1190I must say that International Arts Festival is really great idea .
1191And your last festival was very intresting too .
1192But also there are some notes that you should improve in the next year 's festival to make it absolutelly wonderful .
1193First of all , you must invite artists and stars from more countries around the world , because there are people only from six countries .
1194I think it can make your festival more popular .
1195Jazz , rock and classical concerts are amazing , but I think that some concert halls are too small , so not everybody can come .
1196Your dance shows are very beautiful , art exhibitions is something original and exciting .
1197And also it is very interesting to talk with writers .
1198I think that one reasonably-priced weekend for all events is exellent idea because it is n't so Expensive as buying ticket to each event , and with this ticket you can visit everything you want .
1199I hope you will continue to making your festivals .
1200Your faithfully ,
1201Dear Tom ,
1202How are you ?
1203Thank you for your last letter .
1204It was very interesting .
1205The question you asked me in it is very original too .
1206I must say that rules are n't same in schools of our country .
1207Every school has it 's own rules .
1208I think that my school is very democratic and so there are very good relations between teachers and students .
1209We are all very friendly in our class and we help to each other when we have a problem .
1210So the main rule in our school is regarding theachers .
1211I 'm allowed to do many things at home .
1212My parents are very kind , and they know that their son will do everything right .
1213And the main reason Why our family is so friendly , it 's because we have n't go many rules .
1214So , I think there is n't something I 'd like to change .
1215I hope everything is good in your family and your school .
1216Take care ,
121713th June 2000
1218Dear Mrs Ryan

1239Shopping is not always enjoyable
1240Most of the time is shopping fun and enjoyable .
1241There are a lot of reasons that could be awful to go shopping .
1242Even if you run out of money or you have to buy a particular thing which is difficult to find .
1243I had once this problem .
1244I was looking for a special fruit .
1245The sales assistants in the stores are n't so nice and helpful .
1246Sometimes they give me a bad feeling as ,,customer treat with order .
1247Last week I was shopping with my younger brother .
1248Awful .
1249He wanted everything what his eyes saw .
1250All the stuff for children are in the same level as they have their eyes .
1251Afterwards , I felt tired and unsatisfy the store .
1252The shops have bad opening times .
1253When I feel me comfortable for shopping everything will be closed or you have n't enough time to look around .
1254My conclusion on these points are not so bad .
1255I like shopping at all with my best friend .
1256Dear Mrs Ryan !
1257I 'm very happy that I won first prize in your competion .
1258Two weeks at California in the USA is the thing about I dreamed a lot .
1259You asked me few questions in your letter .
1260I would like to answer .
1261The only one term for me to visit you is July .
1262I can come to USA on July becouse on August I will be working with my father .
1263We are building a new house for our family .
1264What about accommodation , I prefer tents to log cabins .
1265Nights in hol. on July are hot .
1266Tent will be more cooler to sleep then the cabin .
1267You offer a great veriety of activities .
1268My best sports disciplines are swimming and basketball .
1269I am a life guard and I could work in your camp as a rescuer next summer .
1270Basketball is the game which I love .
1271I always watch the NBA matches on T.V. It will be great for me to train basketball in USA .
1272I have qustions to .
1273How much money should I take with me and what sort of clothes are requested
1274Thank You .
1275Yours sincerely K .
1276Shoping is not always enjoyable .
1277Ten or fifteen years ago we had in Poland empty shelves in shops .
1278We could only buy things from Russia .
1279People alwas queued for stuff from west .
1280If you had wanted something special for example for a gift you had to stay in a line all night .
1281It was the worst side of shopping in Poland couple years ago .
1282Nowadays we have capitalism , free market lots of privete shops , markets and super-markets .
1283We can buy everything what about we imagine .
1284Polish super market are not Polish origin shops .
1285They are imported from enother Western Europe country .
1286I apprieciate this shops for lots of products , cheep prices end big spaces .
1287But the problem is when I want to buy only one thing , for example bread .
1288On Friedy evening and at on the weekdays each supermarkets are crowded .
1289They are filled by people who went buy everything .
1290I do not like crowded places .
1291This is the reason why I do not like shopping .
1292Dear Mrs Ryan ,
1293I am writing in reply to your letter in which you communicate I have won first prize in your competion .
1294I am glad .
1295Thank you very much .
1296Now I am answering your questions and then I would like to know further information about travel and accomodation .
1297I would like to travel in July because in June I am going to take some exams at University and at the moment I do not know the exact date .
1298I can tell you I am only free in July .
1299I would prefer an accomodation in log cabins because I am not keen on tents and I think that a log cabin is more comfortable than a tent .
1300As regard as the chance to do two activities while I am at the Camp I would like to practise painting and photography .
1301I am a painter in oils from life and my subjects are landscapes , people , animals .
1302I like also taking photographs , for example during my journeys or trips .
1303So when I go back home I can use my best pictures to reproduce them as a painting .
1304Would you give me some information about clothes to wear there ?
1305I would like also to know how much money I can bring .
1306Looking forward to hearing from you
1307Yours sincerely ,
1308Billy Esposito
1309There is somebody who says that ' Shopping is not always enjoyable ' and who is happy only when can go shopping .
1310In the first I do not think that shopping is enjoyable when you must do so in a hurry or for duty .
1311If you have to run from one shop to another and always looking at the watch , doing shopping is a terrible activity .
1312On the other hand if you can walk without anytime problem with a good friend I think that shopping is very enjoyable .
1313For istance , it is funny enter a clothes shop and try on a skirt or a t-shirt although you do not buy anything .
1314To sum up I enjoy wasting money and buying useful things or not .
1315I often like getting gifts for my relatives and friends .
1316In my opinion , shopping is relaxing above all on Saturdays when you have finished a work week and you are expecting a wonderful Sunday .
1317DEAR MS .
1318RYAN ,
1319IN REFERENCE TO YOUR LETTER DATED 28 MAY I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME ABOUT THE COMPETITION RESULT .
1320I AM VERY GLAD TO HEAR THAT I AM THE WONNER OF THE COMPETITION ORGANISED BY YOUR COMPANY LAST MONTH .
1321IT IS VERY PLEASED TO KNOW THAT I HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEND TWO WEEKS AT CAMP CALIFORNIA IN THE USA , WHERE I HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE .
1322ACCORDING TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS I WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS REGARDING TRAVEL TIME , ACCOMMODATION 'S PREFERENCES AND ACTIVITIES WHICH I LIKE TO DO .
1323ANSWERING THE FIRST QUESTION - I WOULD LIKE TO TRAVEL IN JULY .
1324THE REASON IS I AM WORKING FOR THE TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY AS A MARKETING SPECIALIST AND WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE BIGGEST TELECOMMUNICATION FAIR IN THE WORLD WHICH IS TAKING PLACE IN SEPTEMBER .
1325WE WILL BE WORKING ON THIS WHOLE AUGUST SO THE ONLY ONE VACATION MONTH I CAN GO IS JULY .
1326CONCERNING THE ACCOMMODATION - PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT I WOULD PREFER THE LOG CABIN AS IN THE MEANTIME I SHOULD WORK ON MY LAPTOP , PREPARING SOME FINANCIAL REPORTS SO THE ELECTRICITY WILL BE NEEDED .
1327I THINK THAT THE LOG CABIN WILL BE MORE COMFORTABLE AT ALL .
1328REGARDING TWO ACTIVITIES - I HAVE CHOOSEN TENNIS AND PHOTOGRAPHY .
1329I JUST STARTED TO PLAY TENNIS THAT IS WHY I THINK IT WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY TO PRACTISE AND CHECK MY SKILLS .
1330PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY HOBBY .
1331SHOPPING IS NOT ALWAYS ENJOYABLE .
1332PEOPLE LIKE DOING SHOPPING ( ASPECIALLY IN POLAND , WHERE MANY NEW AND MODERN SUPERMARKETS HAVE BEEN OPENED ) LADIES PREFER TO VISIT UNDERWEAR SHOPS OR DEPARTMENTS IN HUGE HIPERMARKETS AND MEN ARE HAPPY WHEN THEY CAN BUY SOMETHING NEW FOR THEIR CARS , MOTORS OR COMPUTERS .
1333PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD LIKE GOING TO DO SHOPPING WITH FRIENDS OF FAMILIES ( IT 'S EASIER TO CHOOSE THE REALLY NEEDED THINGS FOR KITCHEN OR BATHROOM , TO GET SOMETHING TASTY FOR DINNER , LUNCH OR BREAKFAST ) .
1334BUT SOME PEOPLE DO N'T LIKE DOING SHOPPING AT ALL .
1335THE REASONS ARE ; DISTANCE , LACK OF CAR , CROWDED STREETS , TRAFFIC ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP .
1336THEY CAN SAY ,,SHOPPING IS NOT ENJOYABLE BECAUSE THEY PREFER TO ORDER CLOTHES AND FOOD IN CATALOGUES OR IN THE PIZZA HUT RESTAURANT SITUATED ON THE CORNER .
1337THEY ARE TOO LAZY FOR WALKING AND LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NICE FOR BIRTHDAY PRESENT OR FLOWERS FOR GIRL-FRIENDS .
1338ON THE OTHER HAND - IT 'S VERY COMFORTABLE TO SEAT AT HOME , CALL AND WAIT FOR THE ORDER REALISATION .
1339PEOPLE , WHO DO N'T LIKE SHOPPING HAVE THEIR OWN REASONS OF THIS SITUATIONS ( MAYBE THEY HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH A RUDE SHOP-ASSISTANCE , BOUGHT NOT FRESH FOOD ONE DAY AND DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT ANY MORE , HAD BAD EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN SHOPS ) .
1340THEY DO N'T LIKE SHOPPING EITHER BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER ( SOMETIMES IT 'S TOO HOT OR TOO COLD FOR GOING OUTSIDE ) .
1341ANYHOW EVERYBODY SHOUD DO SHOPPING AS PEOPLE NEED TO EAT , NEED CLOTHES AND MANY OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO LIVE .
1342EVEN IF THE SHOPPING IS NOT ALWAYS ENJOYABLE PEOPLE HAVE TO BUY THINGS ( AND SPEND MONEY ) .
1343BUT EVERY INDIVIDUAL CAN CHOOSE THE WAY HOW TO DO IT .
1344IT ABSOLUTELY DEPENDS ON A LIFE-STYLE , PERSONALITY AND NEEDS .
1345Dear Helen ,
1346Thanks you very much for your recent letter .
1347I can not believe that I won the first prize ( It 's great ! ) and of course , I am very happy .
1348As your questions , I am free to travel only on July because I will having my holiday after finished the exams .
1349And , I have to returned to my university by August .
1350I prefer to stay in log cabin rather than in tent because I am not used to with narrow space and feel more comfortable with a place like bedroom .
1351Furthermore , I prefer to do painting and photography as my hobbies and my fasinative in art and enjoyed to take a photograph of wildlife .
1352Finally , please could you give me an idea what sort of clothes to bring ? and how much would be spend there .
1353Also , please advice for any necessary things to prepare and bring .
1354I looking forward to hearing from you soon .
1355Yours sincerely ,
1356Dear Kim ,
1357Sorry for I have n't written to you for such a long time , but I 've got a good excute !
1358Last month , I was partly in the concert teams .
1359It was a big one that I never thougth and I could n't imagine how amazing was it .
1360I did n't know what is my responsible until they called me to trained .
1361What a surprised ! and unbelieveable , I was responsible for looking after the pop stars .
1362You might understand how excited I was .
1363But , I 've got though it .
1364I have to taken care of them during a break , served a drink , clothes , even brought them some cigaratte and anything they wants .
1365I think they are so hospitality and warm with people around them .
1366You know ! because of these are change all my opinions about self-important behavior of superstar .
1367The most appreciated was they 've given me their latate CD with signature .
1368Marvellous thing ! and of couse as you have seen it I 've given one to you .
1369I hope you 're well and enjoyed with CD and do n't forget to write back all about your news during my summer holiday job .
1370Love ,
1371Dear Mr ,
1372I am a foreign student who is on holidays here .
1373I am going to stay here a week .
1374I went to your theatre three days ago and it was horrible .
1375I 'm sorry but I am very dissapointed with the musical show .
1376I would like to explain you my experience because I want you to give my money back .
1377The last Monday , I went to the theatre with two friends .
1378We arrived on time but the musical show was delayed untill half-pass eight .
1379Moreover , we had n't any disscount for beeing students .
1380On the other hand , the main actor was changed for another and nobody told us .
1381When there was a restful we went to the restaurant which was closed because it was late .
1382We could n't have a drink .
1383Well I believe that it was a bad day but I would like you to give my money back because on the advertisement there was some things that we had n't in the theatre .
1384Finally , it would be grateful if you could answer me soon .
1385Yous sincerelly ,
1386Our lives are changing .
1387When I was a child I had different entertainments that the actually children had n't .
1388We could play with our toys , dolls and we could enjoy without a computer .
1389We had n't so many machines than they have .
1390The technology is growing and growing .
1391If you have a computer you will be able to have all the information that you want .
1392It 's very important but some times it is a wrong thing because the children can see it too .
1393Moreover you can change the TV programme without getting up .
1394We can find information about the weather , sports on our TV-text .
1395On the other hand , the science is changing .
1396We have more researchers than some years ago and we will be able to find the solution of lots of problems .
1397Actually , we can cure illness which were very dangerous before .
1398I 'm sure that in a couple of years we will see cured some illness like cancer , UTH .
1399The new technology is changing our lives .
1400Dear Madam ,
1401I 'm writing to You in order to express my feelings about the International Arts Festival .
1402I spent two days there , and I think it was the best Arts Festival I have ever been at .
1403I also hope , that the festival could be even better next year .
1404Maybe the eason for that is very simple : lack of money ?
1405It would explain , why some concert halls were simply too small - you just could n't afford bigger ones .
1406On the other hand , the wide range of plays and films to choose impressed me most .
1407I thank you for organizing it , and hope to see more next year .
1408I also thank you for the excellent idea of one ticket for all events , which allowed me to see all the things I was interested in .
1409My suggestion for next year 's festival is simple - please make it a few days longer !
1410Yours faithfully ,
1411Dear Friend ,
1412Thank you for your last letter - I was very pleased to receive it .
1413If you really want to hear about school rules in my country , I 'll try to write about them in a nutshell .
1414We do not have many school rules , and the teachers are rather liberal .
1415We do n't have to wear any special uniforms on signs of our school .
1416Some rules are really simple : we must be at school on time , and we must not disturb others during the classes .
1417We are not allowed to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol of course !
1418In winters we are to change our shoes .
1419It may sound funny , but mud , gravel and snow lying on the school 's floors is not a nice sight , so we change our schoes without questioning that rule .
1420I am also used to write exams which are in polish schools very often .
1421At home I do n't have many rules either .
1422I must wash the dishes from time to time ( I sometimes try to avoid this unpleasant duty ) and clean our house .
1423I do n't think there is anything I 'd like to change .
1424I 'm very pleased with my situation and I hope you are pleased with yours !
1425Your faithfully ,
1426Dear Ms Helen Ryan
1427I write to find out further information and give you some details about myself and the travel that I have won in your competition .
1428First of all , I would like to inform you that I am able to travel only in July .
1429Because , I am a student and in June , I will still have school .
1430Also , in Augost I will be studying a summer English course .
1431In addition , I would prefer to stay in a tent .
1432Because I would like to stay somewhere which differs from my home and every days comforts , in these two weeks .
1433However , in your letter is written some activities .
1434I would choose Basketball and Tennis .
1435Basketball I have been playing in a team , of my town for ten years .
1436Also Tennis is my favourite hobby and I play twice every week with my friends .
1437Finally , I would be grateful to you , if you told me about clothes and money .
1438Will we need any special clothes and How much you would suggest me to carry for these two weeks ?
1439I am looking forward to hearing from you .
1440Yours sincerely
1441Dear Kim
1442How are you ?
1443I am very well I 'm writing to explain my experience with the pop concert ; last month .
1444First of all , I think that I help them .
1445Every day of that month I was trying to advertise this concert .
1446I was going to markets to schools and I was giving information when and where the group was going to appear as well as where can they buy or book a ticket for this concert .
1447I know , It was difficult and tired but I enjoyed a lot .
1448Firstly , it was a good break from the routine .
1449Because I did it for first time .
1450Also , I felt wonderful when I saw , that the concert had succesed and every day was croweded .
1451Because I believed that this was a result which came with my help .
1452I would like to do again it in the future .
1453It was a fantastic experience .
1454I 'm looking forward to hearing from you .
1455Best wishes
1456Dear Mr Robertson ,
1457I 'm writing to you to thank you for the programme you have organised .
1458All students are very pleased and we are looking forward to go to London .
1459We know we are going for three days , but we 'll have enough time to use one of the bigger city in the world .
1460London is the place to be when always something happening .
1461We all very happy with your programme , especially we like the idea of sightseeing by our and National Art Gallery .
1462The students in my class have seen an advertisement for the London Fashion and Leisure Show , we would like to ask you if is possible to make some changes in the programme ?
1463The show is on Tuesday the 14th between 10.00- 13.00 .
1464We think is the great opportunity to see latest fashion , find about make up and hairstyles .
1465And all of it is free , According to your programme we have the science Museum which is in the morning and then shopping .
1466Would it be possible to go to the Museum and then for the shopping in our free time which is on Wednesday ?
1467All students will be very greatful .
1468your sincerly
1469I think for all of us home is something which is a very important .
1470Home sweet home .
1471We call home the place where we live or the country where we come frome .
1472Anyway home is always the place to go because is ours we feel save and comfortable .
1473Home sweet home .
1474After hard work we want to go home to have our corner where we are all able to rest and relax .
1475I think in the future home might be just the place to go to sleep .
1476We live in the very busy world !
1477Working long hours , doing plenty of activieties , going out , going on holidays .
1478We even do n't spend time with families .
1479Propably in the future we might be to busy to go to our own home and spend some time there .
1480But in the end of the day it alway will be place to go !
1481We find our family there and our life .
1482Some of us have been living in one house since they were born .
1483We are sentimental and we have memory from the past .
1484I think it 's a part of our life.lf
1485Dear Sir/Madam ,
1486I am writing to complain about the musical show .
1487Over the Rainbow , which you advertised .
1488I saw the show at your theatre with my friend on 6th June .
1489However , I was disappointed with something which did not match your advertisement .
1490First of all , I would like to have seen Danny Brook as I am keen on his play .
1491He did not play in the evening .
1492It made me sad .
1493Secondly , the starting time has been changed from 19:30 to 20:15 .
1494We waited for ages because we had not been informed .
1495In addition , although you advertised the discounts tickets available , they do not sale them any more according to your staff .
1496Finally , we went to the restaurant in your theater after the show .
1497It was closed because of the staff trainning .
1498I am sure you can understand my disappointment .
1499I must insist that you refund the cost of the show .
1500Unless I hear from you within ten days , I shall have to take legal advice on the matter .
1501I look forward to hearing from you in the near future .
1502Yours faithfully ,
1503It is believed that our life style has been changed by mordern technology such as computers and washing machine etc. Especially for families .
1504I have found very expensive to buy them but there are number of advantages .
1505First of all , dishwashers are very effecient for me because I work full time and look after my children .
1506It is very difficult to cook and wash dishes after working .
1507Before buying my dishwasher I asked my son to wash them .
1508He complained about a lot .
1509Secondly , computers are useful for us as well , because we do not need to go somewhere if we want to have information , for example traveling .
1510However my family 's members do less communicate with each other than we used to , because my children are keen on playing computer games .
1511In my opinion , the morden technology make our life style combinient .
1512It is very good for us but I think we should think about more carefully when we buy something for our children .
1513Dear Sir/Madam ,
1514I 'm writing to complain about my horrible evening at The Circle Theatre on 10th June 2000 .
1515Last week I was on holiday in London and I went to the theatre for entertaining but I wish I 'd not go there because everythings went wrong .
1516I bought a ticket at the box office but there were not any discounts for student like you said in the advertisement for the show and also the show had to start at 19.30 but on that day it delaied about 45 minutes .
1517During the show I was expected to meet Danny Brook who is my favourite actor and Tina Truelove .
1518There are Robert Alan and Jack Ruby instead of them .
1519It really disappointed me .
1520After finishing the show I wanted to visit your restaurant and I found that it was closed .
1521Finally I would like to have refund for my ticket back because it was horrible evening .
1522I 'm looking forward to hearing from you soon .
1523Yours faithfully ,
1524Paya Chuaswee ( Miss )
1525Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets that why our great plan for horiday were not be real .
1526It happened in last summer we planed to go on holiday in the Southen part of Thailand by motorbike but we could n't tell our parents because they would n't allow us to go .
1527We started our journey and we arrived at our purpose place by 6 o'clock in the evening .
1528The sun was shining and wind were breezing like we had imaged .
1529Whlile I was standing on the beach suddenly I heard someone called my name and said that I had to go home , that right , she is my mum .
1530She told me Pat had phoned her while we were going and my mum followed us because it was so dangerous to went by bicycle .
1531Eventhrough we could spend our holiday there but with my mum and I just found that it was fantasy time which I had never though about it .
1532From now on I do n't want to tell something secrets to Pat because she always tell someone else but she still my best friend .

1536Dear Ms Ryan
1537I am writing in reply to your letter I received yestarday .
1538I am very proud that I won first prize in your competition and I am extremely happy to spend two weeks at Camp California in the U.S.A .
1539At the beginning I would like to answer questions you asked me in your letter .
1540The most appropriate month for me to travel is July because my boss promised to give me this month off ( I am in charge of project which starts in June so I am sure I could n't go later ) .
1541As I have a choise I would prefer to stay in log cabins to tents because they seem to be more comfortable and you are not so depended on weather conditions .
1542As I was requested I should choose two activities from the list .
1543So I decided to choose climbing and photography .
1544These two are easy to connect , I could climb and make pictures at the same time .
1545I am very keen on photography .
1546Last year I took part in photograher 's contest and I won a second prize in Poland in cathegory of ,,beautiful scenery .
1547Climbing , in contrast , is something I started few months ago , so I have not gained any success in this sport .
1548But you could give me a chance to get more familier with it .
1549I would like to ask about clothes .
1550Do I need any formal ones ?
1551I would like also to know what the cost of spending two weeks in the U.S.A. is .
1552I want to thank you ones more for taking me into consideration in your competition .
1553I look forward to hearing from you .
1554Yours sincerely
1555Juliana Piotrowska
1556Have you ever been to a big supermarket and tried to find something you really like or want , looking throug shelves and not finding that in the end .
1557What did you feel ?
1558You had to be disappointed .
1559There is a lot of situations which could make you feel similar while you do shopping .
1560You might spend too much money and buy something you do n't really need .
1561You could also buy something which later turns out to be out of order .
1562So you have to complain about it .
1563Very often a shop assistant is not helpful so you lose your money and your time .
1564Moreover , you could face an agressive and maybe even drunk shop assistant or manager .
1565This leads to an escalation of your anger .
1566Sometimes you could find a bargain .
1567You are happy to buy a dress or a suit for a good price .
1568But at home you noticed that there is a tear on sleeve .
1569And you could n't of course give it back because the price was lowered and your dress is not under guarantee .
1570You could also face an unpleasant situation connected with money .
1571Somebody could give you not enough change .
1572How would you feel ?
1573Deceived ?
1574So if you do n't want to feel deceived or offended , think twice before you decide to go shopping .
1575( A very depressing point of view , is n't it ? )
1576Dear Sir ,
1577I would like to complain about the show which you presented on last saturday .
1578It was such disappointing evening out with my friend during our a week 's holiday in London .
1579We have had a quite pleasant time except the evening .
1580Actually it spoiled our time .
1581So I would like to get back our money .
1582These are some points I want mention about the differencies between the advertisement said and the realities .
1583First , I had a great expectation to see Danny Brook plays his role , but he had never shown up that night .
1584The main actor was an unknown actor .
1585It was a such disappointing .
1586Second , it started only at 20:15 .
1587It was 45 minutes later than it suppose to be .
1588It was a such boaring to wait the show in a noisy and hot theatre .
1589Third , there was no possibility of discount .
1590The girl sold the tickets was laughing at me when I mention about the discounts availability was written in the advertisement .
1591Forth , the theatre restaurant was closed .
1592There was a not on the door saying that the painting was going on the weekend .
1593How could you arrange work like that ?
1594Finally the sentence was written blow down on the advertisement was absolutely not true .
1595It was most imperfect evening out I ever exprienced .
1596I wish that you can provide a better service next time , and this time you need give back the money we paid .
1597Sincerely
1598Yu Phu Tung .
1599Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
1600Since I moved to London to study English I have had a hard time to make intimate friendship with people around me .
1601First it was because of the culture difference .
1602It took quite long time to adjust in the multi culture in the language institue .
1603Secondly the language ability was another issue .
1604Even I could meet some friend , but I could n't express my heat to them for we have different back ground and our first language were different .
1605I really wished to have a friend can share everything is going in our lives .
1606Finally I met Pat .
1607She was a such wonderful person in our class .
1608She tried to help others when they have difficult time at school .
1609One day she realized that I was always been outside of circle .
1610One day she invited me to her flat .
1611Since then we have visited each other often and spent time together in weekend usally .
1612We had a fantastic time together for three monthes .
1613Even we could make a trip to Paris in the school holiday !
1614We had many common interests in music , art and books .
1615I thought that I found a good friend in my life .
1616So I told her everything about my life .
1617There were some stories I never told anyone before , but I had share with her all my secrets .
1618Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
1619Few days later I told her about my secret love story , it became a top gossip among my classmate .
1620It was a nightmare !
1621Dear Sir/madam ,
1622Thank you for your letter and your congratulations .
1623I never thought that I would win the competition .
1624It is really wonderful .
1625I can stay at Camp California in the U.S.A. for two weeks .
1626I am a student at Portsmouth College and the end of this term is 23 June , so I can only travel in July .
1627I wonder if it is all right for that time .
1628And for my accommodation .
1629I prefer live in a log cabin , because it is more comfortable .
1630I like to relax there and enjoy the atmosphere when I live in .
1631I like to do some activities in water and my favourite activity is swimming .
1632Before I came England , I swam every weekend in my country even in winter , so I choose to do some swimming and sailing while I am at the camp .
1633Actually , my mind has already gone there , I ca n't wait even for a minute .
1634I want to go there now .
1635By the way , I would like to know the shopping especially for clothes , I want to buy some for myself .
1636And do you think I need to exchange money before I go there ?
1637I look forward to your letter .
1638Yours faithfully ,

1641Subject : About daily life at our school
1642Introduction
1643This report is aim to research the students about their daily life at school and give some suggestion about it .
1644What do students do now ?
1645Lots of student normally have classes in the morning .
1646And sometimes they do something in the library by themselves in the afteroon .
1647For instance , reading , looking for some information or using computer .
1648What do they think about it ?
1649The arts students want to learn another foreign language .
1650Moreover , some foreign students hope there will be some English classes that aim to the examination .
1651Most of them want to do more activities in the afternoon .
1652Recommendations
1653Open some foreign language classes at part-time for the students who is interested in it .
1654Let foreign students do more excises about English to help them pass the exam .
1655Using the equipment and area what we have to organise some activities .
1656Dear Mrs Ryan ,
1657I am writting to thank you for your letter confirming the first prize that I won in your competition .
1658I would like also with the present to give you some information about me in order to arrange the details for the trip .
1659First of all , I would like to inform you that I will be able to travel only during July because in June I am going to give examinations for the First Certificate in English .
1660Furthermore , in August I will be preparing for my course at the University which I am starting next September .
1661Secondly , I would be grateful if you could arrange for me accomodation in log cabins as I am not used on living in the countryside and especially in tents .
1662In addition , I would like to inform you that I prefer to do Surfing and Sailing while I will be at the Camp , as I am an active member of Sailing and Surfing Club of Manchester and it will be a great chance for me to practise my techniques and skills .
1663I would be also grateful if you could send me information about the average living cost at California as I have to arrange the amount of money that I am going to spend , and some advice about the clothes that I need .
1664I would like also to specify if the food is including in the prize .
1665Please let me know if you need more information .
1666Yours sincerely
1667As requested , I visited some classes during the lesson and some other rooms while activities were taking place .
1668The aim of this report is make a series of suggestions on which lessons and other activities should be filmed .
1669It 's seems to me that it will be an extremely good advertisement for our school if you take plans from the lesson of Chemistry in the laboratory , because our laboratory is new , recognised as one of the best in the area as it has a huge amount of instruments and really some very good professors , and also many experiments are taking place in this laboratory
1670Furthermore , I think it will be a good idea to take plans from a match of our school team in the football field as it is completely new and full equiped .
1671In addition , I think you have to take also plans from the school 's Nursery as there are a lot of facilities for the children , and the parents can recognise that the teachers are very good .
1672I think also that will be a good idea to take some general plans of the school area as there is a huge background .
1673In conclusion , I have to declare that my myself and my fellow students will be available to help to this short video by all means .
1674Dear Sir or Madam ,
1675I am delightful to receive your letter saying that I have won a two-week holiday in your recent competition and it will all paid in advance .
1676I am writing this letter so as to give you the information which will help you organize all the necessary details of the forthcoming holiday .
1677I would be grateful if you could arrange a date after the 20th of July , due to the problems beyond my control .
1678Otherwise I will not be able to travel abroad .
1679I would rather stay in one of the log cabins as I am allergic to many plants and insects and I should avoid contacting them .
1680It is wonderful to hear that there is a good variety of activities available at the camp .
1681As I am very interested in photography and swimming I am hoping to take part in them .
1682I came second last year 's swimming competition and I have enrolled photography classes .
1683In the camp I can practise them alot .
1684I was wondering if I need to bring some extra money and thick clothes with me in case there is an emergency .
1685Could you please let me know as soon as you receive my letter .
1686Yours faithfully
1687Dear Kim ,
1688I am terribly sorry not to drop you a line since the last time we wrote to one another .
1689But I finally got around writing and you 'll see that it 's definetly worth waiting as I have some great and unbeliavable news to tell you .
1690As you know I 'm on half-term school holiday and have plenty of time to do much more different things apart from studying my A-level history , such as meeting up my friends , visiting interesting places or even going to the cinema on my own .
1691However this term has been a far cry from the others .
1692You will see why I 'm describing it as the most unforgettible one when you read through my letter .
1693Couple of days ago I bumped into my best friend who is into music and we started to have a chat about what we had both been doing .
1694She invited me to the rehearsal of a huge consert whose singer was a well-known pop star as well as my favorite .
1695Can you believe that I was introduced to him and I took numerous photographs some of which I put in the envelope .
1696It was like a dream come true , and was the best part of the experience in my opinion .
1697I helped out my friend by writing huge billboards and making some light refreshments .
1698Despite the fact that I felt exhausted I must admit that it was one of the days I will never forget througout my life
1699write me soon .
1700Yours sincerely ,
1701Dear Mr. Robertson ,
1702The trip that you planned for us , students , it 's a great chance to meet new people and visit a beautiful city like London .
1703Your programme is excellent because it tries to offer to the students the best way to spend our time without wasting time in silly places or events .
1704We 'd like to thank you because the kind of happening shows how you are dedicated with our school and the students that study there .
1705It 's great to visit especially the Science Museum because of its expositions .
1706But there 's something that I 'd like to ask .
1707The London fashion and Leisure Show will start on Tuesday .
1708It 's a great opportunity for us because there will be expositions of the latest fashions , of the new hairstyles , of the new leisure and sports clothes and people teaching how to make up .
1709Our suggestion is that you could change the day of the leisure time to the shopping in the afternoon .
1710By this way , the leisure time would be on Tuesday and we would be able to go to the London Fashion .
1711Thanks for the attention and we 're waiting for your answer .
1712Yours faithfully ,
1713Famous People x Media
1714Famous people are special for the rest of the society .
1715They form opinions and invent new fashion styles .
1716Nowadays , the media is expanding its ways of communication so they need more information .
1717The media is starting to get into the private life of these famous people .
1718It 's important to respect other people lives because it can cause serious problems in the family of the person or in his life .
1719If the famous person does n't mind in being filmed in his personal life there 's no problem .
1720But if the politicians or the film stars ask for privacity the media has to respect .
1721Everybody likes to be with your family without any reporter or photographer .
1722In summary , the best thing to do is try to extract from these people their best qualities and not try to find things that could irritate them like familiar problems or personal problems .
1723The respect is essential .
1724They deserve to have a private life like any common person .
1725Dear Mr/Mss
1726I 'm writing you in complain about musical show , that I have visited last evening .
1727I had a week holiday in London , so I wanted to spend my last evening with great pleasure , however it was the worse evening in my life .
1728First of all , the actors were different from those who were advertised .
1729Second , the show started at 20:15 , althoug I read that it started at 19:30 !
1730More over after watching a show I wanted to visit your theatre restaurant , but it was closed , it really disappointed me .
1731It was my dream to see Danny Brook and Tina Truelove , so it is still my dream because of your show .
1732So , I had no perfect evening out and I want my money back .
1733I hope you 'll understand my situation and if you want other people to visit your show , you should return my money .
1734Yours faithfuly
1735How has modern techology changed my daily life .
1736Fifty years ago people even did n't think that after 2000 years they would have another life .
1737When Thomas Adison invented an electric light , it was the greatest invention for people of that centure .
1738And nowadays modern technology can change all our life .
1739I mean , almost everyone has now a car , a computer , a mobil phone and even an airplane .
1740My life is changing too .
1741First of all now I can phone my friends and parents from every place , I can chat with other foreign teenagers with the help of the internet .
1742Second modern technology helps me in the kitchen .
1743Coocking became faster with the help of the microwave .
1744What is more Modern technology prevents different illnesses .
1745Further more , yesterday I 've heard that every man could fly to the space without any experience , it is great , from my point of view in 2050 year everybody will fly to the space .
1746On the other hand people can atrophided of all this inventions .
1747He become lazy because they know that they can seat on the sofa and turn the chances on the TV by pressing a boton .
1748In conclusion I want to say that inspite of this , I hope that in future we will have more and more new inventions and they will stop our disasters and problems .
1749Dear Mr Robertson
1750First of all I would like to thank you for the good programme you organised for our trip to London .
1751Especially the sightseeing by bus seems to be very interesting .
1752But we would like to suggest you something : There is a trendy event about the latest fashions , leisure and sports wear ; make up and hairstyles on the 14th of March .
1753It is called ,,The London Fashion and Leisure Show .
1754This would be a great opportunity because we are all intrested in clothes , sports and fashion .
1755I have almost forgotten to mention that it is free for students !
1756Unfortunately we realised that on the 14th we will already visit the Science Museum .
1757The show lasts nine hours , from 10.00-19.00 , the whole day !
1758Our question now : Could we go to this show ?
1759We could maybe change Tuesday 's programme to Wednesday .
1760We all prefer the show , free time is not so important for us .
1761Please think about this and give us an answer .
1762Thanks .
1763Yours faithfully
1764Dear Jack
1765Thanks a lot for your letter .
1766I am fine but quite busy because I have my German exams .
1767Therefore I read Agatha Christie 's ,,Best Detective Stories of Agatha Christie .
1768I can really recommend you this book , it is fabulous .
1769It is also a suitable present for your cousin , I think .
1770One story is about ten persons who stay together in a hotel on a lonely island .
1771There is a storm and they can not leave .
1772Suddenly a murderer happens !
1773Believe me , you would never guess who the killer is !
1774There is also Hercule Poirot , the famous detective and he finally solves the mistery .
1775But I will not tell you more .
1776You have to read it yourself .
1777And if your cousin likes crime stories it is a perfect book !
1778Unfortunately it is quite expensive , £ 32 .
1779But do not worry about the price because your cousin will love it !
1780Okay , I hope to have news from you very soon .
1781Have a good time .
1782Yours sincerely ,
1783Dear Sir/Madam :
1784Thank you for telling me that I have won the first prize and now I am writing to tell you the information you have requested .
1785First of all , I think I would like to travel in July , which will be the only month for me to go .
1786Because my course wo n't finish until the end of June , and I will have to stay in the college to get ready for the new term .
1787Then I 'd like to choose the tents for my accommodation when at Camp California .
1788I think sleeping in a tent is funnier than others .
1789However , during my stay at Camp , there are two activities I can choose , one of them I will choose Basketball because it is the sport I play most , I and my friend used to win the first place in school-wide match when we was in school .
1790And the other one , I think painting will be a good idea ; Painting is one of my hobbies and I 've been learning it since I was 5 years old and now I 'm still doing it once I have free time .
1791Above are all the information you asked , however , here are something I 'd like to know ; first is about the clothes , what kind of clothes I need to take with ?
1792And another question is what is the prices of things like in there , so that I can make a better buget of my trip .
1793Look forward to hearing from you .
1794Yours sincerely
1795Dear Kim :
1796Thanks for your last letter ; I knew you would interested at my experience of helping the pop concert last time , now I tell you about it .
1797The place we worked was a football pitch ; we spent 3 days on setting up the stage , the equitment , and the lights .
1798In fact , there is nothing very important I did , because we are not the right people to do it .
1799I only put the speakers in the right places , or helping engieners tested the lights .
1800But at the brakes and after work , I had a chance to talk with the engieners , and I leant something about setting up the equitment .
1801The fourth day , the singers and the players have been to there to test .
1802Then I had a chance to speak with them .
1803From that , I learnt more about instruments .
1804Finally , the date of concer came .
1805After the concer finished successfully , I was happier than ever because the succeed inclueded my work and that was the most enjoyable moment in my life .
1806Anyway , now I have to stop to finish my homework .
1807I 'm looking forward to receiving your letter again .
1808Best wishes .
1809Dear Sir or Madam ,
1810I 'm writing to complain about the musical show named OVER THE RAINBOW .
1811Regarding your advertisement , it is the LONDON 'S NEWEST AND BEST MUSICAL SHOW , but I was deeply disappointed at it .
1812According to your advertisement , the starrings were DANNY BROOK AND TINA TRUELOVE .
1813I decided to go to see this show because of its starrings , but at the day I saw it , a different actor played .
1814He was not DANNY BROOK .
1815Moreover there was no discount ticket .
1816They were all sold out .
1817You should have said they were very few .
1818I had to buy a £ 20 ticket .
1819To make matters worse , the time that the show started was delayed .
1820It started at 20:15 , fourty five minutes later !
1821That 's why I could n't have a dinner at the theatre restaurant after the show .
1822It had already closed , when the show finished .
1823I 'd like to ask for a full refund for this awful night .
1824Could you give me a satisfactory reply as soon as possible .
1825yours faithfully
1826Modern technology has changed my life .
1827Especially , a computer has made my daily life change dramatically .
1828It is only two or three years since I have used a computer at home , but now I wonder how I can live without it .
1829I open my e-mail box every night .
1830When I find a new message , I 'm very happy .
1831Before using e-mail , I used to write letters and sometime telephon .
1832However I 've found e-mail is better than them .
1833Because as soon as I send my message , they can receive it .
1834In the other word , I can also receive their reply soon .
1835It 's really useful , when I need quick reply .
1836Overmore when I send e-mail , I need not worry about the time .
1837I can send them anytime I like .
1838Thanks to modern technology , I enjoy chatting with my friend in other countries and my family in Japan almost every day .
1839Dear Sir/Madam ,
1840I was really disappointed because the show was far from what I expected .
1841First of all , I was really expecting to see Danny Brook , my favourite actor .
1842However , he was not on the stage that day .
1843Secondally the show started late and I had to wait for 45 minutes without doing anything .
1844It was a waste of time .
1845I also thought that there should have been discounts for students , which in fact was not available and I had to pay for normal price .
1846Furthur more , the restaurant in the theatre was closed after the show because of the delay .
1847I had to go home without eating a dinner , though I was really hungry .
1848I have to say that the evening was terrible .
1849If I had known all of them , I would have changed my plan and could have a better time .
1850I strongly suggest you should give us right information .
1851I also would like to claim some refund for the evening .
1852I hope this matter will receive your prompt attention .
1853Yours faithfully ,
1854Fashion in 100 years
1855If you compare the fashion now with that of 100 years ago , you 'll notice that there are incredably big difference between them .
1856People have become more informal , casual and practical than before .
1857But how about the fashion of the future , for example , 100 years from now ?
1858I think it 'll also be very different from now .
1859But in which way ?
1860First of all , people might think more about the function of clothes than the design .
1861For example , they 'll wear a cloth which protect themselves from air pollution , sunshine etc .
1862Imagine that all the people have masks on their mouthes and noses like we have sun-glasses , and that all the masks are designers brands , which are made of special material to prevent us from breathing in polluted air .
1863It 's like a joke , but a bit scarely .
1864Imagine that all the people have hats with big edges to protect their faces from sun-burn , and it 's the most trendy fashion of the year !
1865It 's funny .
1866But we never know ! !
1867Dear Sir/Madam ,
1868I recently had a holiday in London and had been to your musical show ' Over the Rainbow ' but found it very disappointing .
1869It is said that the singers are Danny Brook and Tina Truelove in the advertisement .
1870However , there was a different unknown actor in that .
1871The show started later at 20:15 which was very different in ' 19.30 ' as shown .
1872There was no discount at all which is in contrast with ' Discounts Availabe ' .
1873After the show , I wanted to have something in the theatre restaurant and found it was closed because of no reason .
1874The real show on it owns is really very different to what are mentioned in the advertisement .
1875I am unsatisfied and would like to ask for some money back .
1876Please would you also change the advertisement to the level of the actual facts .
1877Thank you for your attention .
1878Yours faithfully ,
1879What will clothes be like 100 years from now ?
1880It is a very hard thing to predict .
1881The fashion of nowaday clothings is just keep on changing .
1882Although some may appears again after few years different styles are developed .
1883For the fashion of the future , I think it depends on the people 's own personalities and develope their own styles which suits them the most .
1884They can wear different kinds of clothing , like they design for themselves or those like history can wear those of victorian time and in different countries .
1885For the colours , I think the metalic colours , especially silver , will be the most popular .
1886As different kinds of farbics will be invented & the clothings will never be just cotton as always been seen .
1887Maybe paper can also be a farbic use for make clothings and for those who like to wear new clothes everyday .
1888They can be thrown away after wearing it and light enough to be carried around whenever you want to change your wearing .
1889Dear Mrs. Ryan .
1890I 'm glad to receive your letter .
1891I 'm very happy to know that I have won the first prize .
1892It will be great to spend two weeks at Camp California .
1893First of all , I would like to say that the only month available from me to travel is July .
1894I finish my classes on the 25th of June and August is for going with my parents to France .
1895This has been scheduled 3 months ago .
1896About accommodation , I would prefer the log cabins because I think they are more cleaner than the tents .
1897While I 'm stayin there I would like to practise tennis and basketball , as I have been playing both sports all my life , and I have to say that I am very good at both .
1898There is one question I would like to ask you about the Camp .
1899I would like to know if there are any washing machines or a place to wash our clothes .
1900I hope this letter contains all the information you need from me .
1901I look forward to hearing from you .
1902Yours sincerely
1903From my point of view , the real question is : Who said that is enjoyable ?
1904Maybe for women , but not for me .
1905I know that this sounds horrible , but sometimes it 's what really happens .
1906For men , sometimes is hard to go shopping with their partners .
1907Sometimes that means a complete tour around all the fashion shops in town .
1908And of course , we are not allowed to stop in a place that we like .
1909The Sports Shop .
1910You cannot lose the time because all the other shops could be closed when you arrive .
1911And that is allways what we want .
1912That 's men 's intention .
1913Another point is to go a big area .
1914Specially week-ends .
1915Everyone pushing a trolley and crashing around .
1916People should have to take a license to drive those things .
1917Someone could be injured .
1918And of course , the time to pay .
1919A huge que that lasts half an hour or more and finishes with you completely freaked out .
1920In conclusion , for me to go shopping is not enjoyable at all .
1921Dear Sir ,
1922According to the advertisement you gave , there have been some important differents .
1923Firstly , the play started almost an hour late , and I went there to see Danny Brook , but there was a different actor on stage .
1924Secondly , in the advertisement the discounts are available but in the tickets I bought they were no discount .
1925Furthermore , I had planned to have a great dinner with my family in your restaurant and it was closed because the people who work in were on holidays .
1926In addition to this , I have to tell you that it was the most horrible evening I had out and because of this I want to ask you if you could send me a refound of a part of the money I wasted there .
1927I would be grateful if you do it .
1928Finally , I want to tell you that it is not useful for you and your theather to cheat to your customers .
1929If you do it , there will be no bussiness for you and no satisfaction for them .
1930I look fordwad to hearing from you
1931Your sincerely ,
1932How has modern technology change my daily life ?
1933Nowadays , technology is the most useful tool that human beings have .
1934It affects everyone who live in this planet and every activity made in it .
1935In this case we are going to focus on me .
1936Emilio Almodar , 18 years old , University Student , and the career I have choosen is Internacional Commerce or Market .
1937I use technology every moment but I did not realise .
1938For example , when I come back home from university and I call my friends , I am using it because at home we have very modern phones and fax and almost everybody in my family has a cellular phone and thing like that .
1939We also have five computer , the latest versions of them , because they are useful for my father to work and for me to do some special works for University .
1940This machines are connected to Internet , and it gives to my family too much facility to get every information we want , from how to prepare son drink to what was the result of the Sunday 's football match .
1941In addition to this we use the net to comunicate with some friends we have in U.S.A. It 's really amazing .
1942Apart from this , I do n't spent my free time in technology .
1943I prefer playing rugby and going out with friends , because technology is not all life , but it is only a little part of it .
1944Dear Sir/Madam :
1945I am writing to ask about your advertisement and theatre show .
1946I am a student in Liverpool , and recently I had a week 's holiday in London .
1947First day in London , I saw your advertisement which was very interesting to me .
1948But I was really disappointed it .
1949First of all , there was only one actor that was different from your advertisement .
1950Also , it was certain to me to bought a discount tickets cause I am a student .
1951But , it was not availiable .
1952Second , I went to the theatre exactly seven thirty in the evening .
1953However the show started 45 minutes later .
1954I wasted time too much for waiting .
1955It was not good to me , cause I had only one week holiday in London .
1956It was absolutely different from your leaflet .
1957On the whole , I was really disappointed at that time .
1958Could you do me my half of money back .
1959I enclose my phone number and address .
1960I 'm looking forward to hearing from you soon .
1961Yours faithfully
1962Lo Son Lin .
1963Fashion of the Future .
1964Have you ever seen the film star wars ?
1965And did you notice something about fashion of the future ?
1966I think the people will wear convenient clothes with simple design in the future .
1967Because the people will stay at home more than now with their computer .
1968And they will use soft cozy cloths like cotton and silk .
1969However , if they have some special day when like important public day or special day of their life , they will wear very different kinds of clothes which was you never seen before .
1970Some of that will be very strange to our eyes , but some of others will be familiar to us .
1971And they will use the most kinds of things like small stone to diamond etc. Maybe some peoples are nakid .
1972It will be very interesting ...
1973Just imagine the way of future people 's life .
1974And you can see the their clothes also .
197513th June 2000
1976Dear Mrs Ryan ,
1977Thank you very much for your letter .
1978I was really surprised and very happy when I read that I have won the first prize .
1979First of all because I have never been to California and second because it 's the first time I have ever won something .
1980The only time that is possible for me to travel is July , because I am working for a bank and this is the only month I can go on holiday .
1981For my stay in California I would prefer the accommodation in tents because this gives me a feeling of freedom and adventure and it is quite different to my live here in Greece .
1982The activities I would like mot to do are climbing and surfing .
1983In my free time I have climbed a lot of mountains in the surrounding area so I can say , that I am quite good in climbing .
1984But I have never ' surfed ' in my live , so that is an activity I have to learn .
1985Last but not least there are some things I would like to know : What kind of wheather do you have in California ?
1986Is it very hot ?
1987What kind of clothes should I bring with me ?
1988And what about money ?
1989How much money Should I take with me ?
1990Are there any activities which are not included ?
1991And my last question : how many persons are going to stay in each tent .
1992I 'm looking forward to hearing from you soon .
1993Yours sincerely
1994Many people , especially women , love shopping .
1995If you go to the centre of every big town you will see people walking from store to store searching for something to wear or to buy to eat .
1996But shopping is not always enjoyable .
1997First of all because of the big variety in the store .
1998Very often you do n't know what to buy because we do n't have only three or four different sport shoes to choose from , not , we have to choose out of twenty or thirty such as Nike , adidas or Fila .
1999And very often you have to pay a lot of money for the product you want .
2000Another cause is that shops and stores are often overcrowded .
2001Very often you can hardly move because of the crowds of people .
2002And many people are in a hurry , so do n't wonder if other people have not tolerance and patience to wait and hit you with their shopping cars .
2003Of course there are a lot of other causes why shopping is n't always great fun , but the last cause , which is very important for me is that shopping is becoming more and more impersonal .
2004That means that there are more and more big supermarkets and big stores , where noone has time for you to show you or explain things to you such as what kind of bicycle is the best for me , no one to talk to and noone to complaine .
2005That is the most important reason why I only like to go shopping in little stores , where I have peace and quiet and very often nothing to complaine about .
2006Dear Mrs Helen Ryan ,
2007I was writting as reply of your letter , I am glad to have won the first prize in your competition for two weeks at Camp California in the USA .
2008About the information that you need , I must tell you that I will be able to travel only in July becase I got a new job and I ca n't ask for more than one month holidays each year and on the other months I will be very busy becase my workmates will take holidays on these months .
2009With the accomodation , I would prefered tents becase it is more according with a camp .
2010And with the activities I must chose Photography and Painting becase I am not very good for sports and I think I am doing well in these things .
2011Finally I just ask you What kind of clothes do I have to bring with me , and around How much money do you think I will need .
2012Thank you very much for everything .
2013Your Sincerely

2019Dear Kim ,
2020Here I am , writting you to tell everything about my wonderful experience at the concert .
2021You ca n't imagine How much did I enjoy that journey .
2022I started early in the morning helping to carry the stuff from the trucks to the place where the band played , I help with the music stuff like speakers , mics , lights , sound , etc. And later the band arrived and played two or three times before the concert started .
2023And I was helping them fixing the last details .
2024When the concert started I was preparing some drinks for the band because when the concert finished they were very tired and tersty .
2025After the concert I only help with tidy up the place and made sure that everything was under control and clean .
2026Later the band was talking to me , I could get their new album free , and some other souvenirs from the band .
2027But the thing that particulary liked me was that I could do all kind of things just in one day and I could feel different emotions .
2028So , that 's everything that I can tell you , I enjoy a lot and I hope to have another experience like this .
2029Thank you for the letter you have sent recently .
2030It was a surprise to know that I won the first prize .
2031The reasons I am really writing , However , is to give you some details of my trip to California .
2032I 'll be taking an English Examination at the end of June and I think it would be a good idea if I can travel in July because it 's the only month I can spend abroad this year .
2033In the letter you said that accommodation provided can be either tents or log cabins .
2034I would prefer to stay in tents so that I will have the chance to be in contact with the nature as well as the scenery around .
2035Another thing I would like to choose from the activity list is singing ( because I take part in a chorus at school ) and photography .
2036I 'm really good taking pictures , it 's a way I have to express my feelings .
2037I wonder if you could send me more information about what kind of clothes have we bring .
2038Do you think you could also let me know how much money we will need during our stay at the Camp .
2039I would be grateful if you could send me a brochure and a map showing where the camp is .
2040thanking you in anticipation .
2041I look forward to hearing from you .
2042Yours faithfully ,
2043What a surprise it was to get letter from you after all this time .
2044Sorry I have n't written for so long but I was really busy trying to apply for a job .
2045This is just to let you know with whom I worked .
2046In order to celebrate the 125 aniversary of the city , the Coun Council organised an open air concert .
2047It was a summer night and all the citizens , as well as tourists , had the opportunity to attend .
2048I knew some help was needed so I decided to speak to the manager .
2049My job was to leave some leaflets on shops , restaurants and streets .
2050Working with this band was an experience I will never forget .
2051What I really enjoyed was been part of the staff .
2052Although I was too nervious , I knew I could do the job well .
2053I 'd love to hear all your news , why do n't you come and visit me ?
2054Perhaps I could show you the pictures I took .
2055I 'm looking forward to hearing from you soon .
2056Love from ,
2057Dear Mr or Madam ,
2058First of all , the advertisement for the show announced Mr. Danny Brook as the principal actor .
2059Surprisingly , he never appeared on the stage , during the play .
2060Therefore , the theatre or the company is lying .
2061Secondly , the show started one hour fifteen past after .
2062We arrived at the theatre in time and we had to wait all that time until the show began .
2063Finally , when I asked about the discounts , an agressive employee refused to answer me .
2064He stayed looking at me and laughing .
2065It was incredible .
2066The evening was a horrible surprise , completely different from the promise written in the advertisement .
2067Defineteley , I want my money back as soon as possible .
2068I am looking forward to hearing from you
2069Yours faithfully
2070 Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
2071I knew that but I would prefer to trust her so I told everything about Lynne Harter , our new collegue at school .
2072However , I have to admit that I told her my own opinion .
2073Well , it was the beginning of my tragedy .
2074So , I told Pat that Lynne was ugly , fat like a cow , and extremely agressive .
2075Two days after , when Pat came back to my school and she met Mr Harter , our head teacher , she told everything about Ann1 .
2076In that precisely moment I realized that I had forgotten to tell her that Ann was Mr Harter 's niece .
2077I know it 's my fault .
2078But , well , unhappiness started with Pat and my reveilled secrets .
2079Dear Sir ,
2080I 've been recently seeing in your theatre during my week 's holiday in London I must say I had a very disappointing evening !
2081I was sure this was the London 's newest and best musical show I had ever seen because of the good publicity you made in your advertisement , but I thought completely wrong !
2082Firstly , the play started nearly an hour later as I expected !
2083If the spectacle has been beautiful , I would have been quite pleased to wait .
2084Then , I had read that there would have been discounts available , but it was n't true !
2085So it 's better not to write anything if you do n't make it true then .
2086Finally , I hoped that , after these incidents , I would enjoy myself , but there was another change of programme : starring !
2087The main actor , Danny Brook , was changed and the one who played his part was n't as good as I expected .
2088Finished the show , I went to your theatre restaurant , but it was closed and this has n't been said before .
2089Moreover , I was shocked by the reason for which it was closed : the chef went away after he received a phone call !
2090For all these reason , I want to ask for my money back and I hope to hear from you soon !
2091A suggestion ?
2092Organize better your shows and do not exagerate with publicity !
2093Yours sincerely ,
2094There would be many things to say about .
2095Technology is a wide field which increases very quickly .
2096It 's creating an artificial world , where everything is electronic and fast .
2097I 'm not sure if I must say technology has changed our life in positive or not .
2098Certainly , thanks to it , we can do things today that were impossible a few centuries ago .
2099Nowadays , we make a phone call with an astonish rapidity , instead at my grandparents ' time it took one month or more to have contact with people abroad , because the only means of communication was the post and its service was very slow !
2100When appeared the first car , it was already a great success .
2101Before that , people travelled by horse or worse .
2102Fortunately today everyone can take an aeroplane and go to America , Australia or wherever else he wants !
2103What can I say about the television ?
2104It allows us to keep connections with the other states of the world , improves our knowledge , offers us news , advises us about events which happened or will happen .
2105In the not very far 1914 , parent sent their sons in war and it was very difficult to know if they were still alive or dead !
2106It 's terrible !
2107Despite this , I 'm convinced all this progress caused some damages at the community , not only phisically .
2108We pay less attention to our life , to those things which give us happiness , that are n't money , success , power .
2109We became passive people , we follow the same routine every day and we live in a society where rules are strongly fixed .
2110I think everyone should live his own life how he wants to live it and make him known for who he is , not for his money , but for his abilities , his good habits , his personality .
2111Finally , everyone should decrease his own life 's rythm .
2112Mr John Smythe ,
2113I 'm writing to tell you about the horrible evening I had on Friday .
2114I was very excited with the idea of going to the theatre , but it did n't work out as I thought it will .
2115First of all the starring actors were supposed to be Danny Brook and Tina Truelove , Tina did act , but Danny Brook was replaced by an awful actor whose name I do n't recall .
2116Second of all , the play was suposed to start at 19:30 , but it started at 20:15 .
2117I 'm not used to waste my time sitting on a chair waiting , I do have better things to do with it .
2118Another thing I want to complain about , is that your advertised that discounts were available , but there was n't any discount at all .
2119I hope you understand .
2120Yours faithfully
2121Pat 's story
2122Unfortunately , Pat was n't very good at keeping secrets .
2123Now you 've probably asking yourself what does it mean , well , now I 'm going to explain it to you .
2124Two years ago in this school , Pat and I used to be best friends .
2125We used to tell everything to each other .
2126I was having some family problems , so my marks were getting down and down .
2127Pat was worried , she did n't know what to do .
2128One day she looked me in the eyes with a sharp deep look , Never have I seen such a deep look : and asked me what was happening and I told her as I always used to .
2129That afternoon she visited me and told me a plan she had designed to make my marks rise .
2130It consisted in stealing the school list from the computer , in other words , hack the school software .
2131I thought it was a great idea , so I stole about ten tests we were planned to do .
2132I was punished , nearly expelt , but Pat did n't receive any punishment .
2133I never accused her of lying , and I you ask me why , I really do n't know .
2134Dear Sir/Madam ,
2135I am writing to you after visiting your theatre .
2136Frankly speaking , I was very disappointed after my visit .
2137I was displeased from the very beginning , because I expected to get a discount as I 'm a student .
2138According to your advertisment I could have one but in reality there were no discounts at all .
2139But nevertheless I decided to go to your show .
2140The show started t 20.15 instead of 19.30 .
2141I had to wait in overcrowded hall .
2142When finally the show had started I found out that Danny Brook was replaced by another actor .
2143One of the reasons for my visiting your show was Danny Brook 's participance .
2144So , you could understand how disappointed I was .
2145To make matters worse the restaurant which was mentioned in your advertisment was closed .
2146So I had n't such perfect evening , as was promised in your advertisment .
2147In fact there were a lot of mistakes in your advertisment and I would be gratefull if you could give me back a part of my money .
2148I 'm looking forward to hearing from you .
2149Yours faithfully ,
2150How has modern technology changed your daily life ?
2151In my opinion , modern technologies play the important role in people 's life .
2152I think that at present the most important technologies are computer and Internet technologies .
2153Both computer and Internet influence people 's life .
2154I have to use computer every day .
2155It helps me in preparing my homeworks .
2156Firs of all Internet gives you an access to a great number of different information .
2157On the one hand Internet is often used for entertaiment , but on the other hand it 's also used in different business and education process !
2158With the help of Internet technologies I communicate with other people from all over the world it gives me chance to improve my English .
2159From my point of view , Internet can be used in education , because it gives an opportunity to have distant relations between pupils and teachers .
2160Though Internet has a lot of positive aspects I think you should be careful with it and not to be depended on it .

2178Unconected part of every people lifes is shopping .
2179We buy everything from clothes to food and the only thing that could stop us from this are money .
2180As a teenager I must addmit that there is nothing more enjoyable from shopping .
2181It 's like ,,walking in the clouds , , you feel like flaing .
2182Choosing gave me such big pleasure because I never have to worry from vere do I take money for my wishes .
2183It all comes from my parents .
2184All I ought to do is buy and choose .
2185I think that ,,having is a dream of all of us .
2186It 's hard for me even to emagine the situation when shopping is not enjoyable .
2187Probably it is one of the moments when you want something baddly and you ca n't have it .
2188Another situation is when you have to buy somebody a present .
2189Everybody know that ,,present presents a problem You know your own task but what vith a task of the other person ?
2190However I ca n't agree with opinion that ,,Shopping is not always enjoyable I think that everybody like to buy but not everybody like to see pleasure in it .
