A letter to Kate Dear Kate, I'm glad to hear from you. It's great news that you consider to do a boat trip with your students. I'm sure you'd spend such a wonderful day. It's better to start the journey at 8 pm, taking the first boat, because there are too many people later. Besides, you'd have more time to enjoy your trip. My advice is to take a couple of sandwiches and some water to drink, because restaurants are too expensive for students. Moreover, you'd enjoy an amazing countryside. The lake is very quiet and it is advisable to try diving because there are a wonderful underwater vegetation . The price is quite cheap, and there are great discounts for student groups above fifteen people, so this wouldn't be a problem. Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any doubt about your trip. Best wishes, Aureli Sanchez.

An unexpected revenge Michael close the door and knew at that moment he had made a mistake. He had been summoned for a meeting with his boss, called John, the day before. In the meeting they had a rough argument. As a consequence, Michael was fired. He was really sad, so he decided to go for a drink. He was alone when a beautiful blonde told him: 'May I have a drink with you?'. He said to her that it would be amazing and they started a nice conversation. They drank too much alcohol, so they were a little drunk. She kissed him. 'Would you like to come with me to my flat?,' she said. Michael accepted her invitation. In that moment, John did not remember his boss, but in her apartment there were three John's photos. 'Who is the man in these pictures?' Peter said. 'He is my husband, but he is not here and I expect you do not mind that I am married,' she replied. He smiled. It were going to be a sweet revenge.

A letter to a friend Dear Peter, I'm really excited with your sister's birthday. It's a fantastic idea to book the Majestic hotel for the party, but it's not cheap and we could analyse other options. I have a good friend who would advise about this. Your sister enjoy making trips and she loves Spanish beaches, so our gift could be a trip to Mallorca for a week. I'd like to help you the day before the celebration, but it's impossible because I'll be working, but you don't hesitate to tell me if there are something more that I can do. In my opinion it would be a fantastic surprise to invite Maria and Anne, your sister's best friends at primary school. She hasn't met them for ages, so it'd be amazing. I hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Aureli Sanchez.

How does young people dress? Many people say teenagers does not like to dress like their parents. In this essay I analyse the arguments for and against this assertion. There are two main arguments for this affirmation. Firstly, young people is developing their personality and they need to prove several styles of clothing. Secondly, it is a period in a life when the relationships between parents and sons are more difficult, so young people use clothes like a form of rebelling. On the other hand, it seems that young people dress very different from their parents, but it could not be true, because their clothes are different because there are a big gap in their ages, but there is a connection between parent's dressing style and son's dressing style. On balance, I am in favour that young people do not like dressing in a similar style than their parents, because they need to send a message to the society explaining that they are different, although their clothes could be related with their parent's clothes.

What do you like to take up? It is well-known that this school is going to create new clubs. Many ideas have been published last month. Among them I would prefer the creation of a cookery club, and why do not start a readers clubs? There are lots of sports clubs for young people, so it would not make sense to create another of these clubs. Nowadays, young people are very interested in cooking and it is very difficult to find an organisation where someone could share their knowledge and experiences about cooking. This activity stimulate the imagination, so it is totally advisable On the other hand, reading seems an old-fashion activity, but readers know that every book is an amazing opportunity to enjoy new and unexplored worlds, so in my opinion many people could be attracted to this activity and someone could meet other interesting people. To sum up, Creating new clubs of cooking and reading could be a huge chance to open minds of many people. I believe it would be worth it, but do you agree with me?

John is alive By the time they reached the top of the mountain , it was nearly dark and heavy snow was starting to fall. Peter and John were two experts climbers who had studied their trip, but they had expected to get to the top of the mountain at midday when the weather had been sunny. They could not return to their camp that night, so they suffered an intense cold. They knew that a terrible storm could mean the end of their lives. Everyone in their situation had been terrified, but they were very calm. The next morning the weather was better and they could come back to their camp. They were received like heroes because everyone thought that they had had an accident. It was a happy end to this trip. Five years later, John died when he was climbing another mountain. In his honour Peter returned to the mountain where they could have died. 'John, every time I reach the top of this mountain you are still alive.' Peter said.

Public transport in my city Introduction. The global warming is a real threat, so it is very important to reduce the emission of exhaust fumes produced mainly by vehicles. It is important to use public transport. In this regard, the aim of this report is to analyse the two unique means of transport in this city: the bus and the train. Bus. There is only one bus every hour to go to the main destination and this is a problem for many people. Besides, buses are too expensive, too slowly and they are not comfortable. Train. This mean of transport is very cheap and trains are very modern, but it is not possible to reach several cities because they do not have train stations. There are three trains every hour to make a journey to the main destinations. Conclusion. Buses need serious improvements and although trains work better, new train stations should be built up. I strongly recommend to modernise the buses and at least two of them would have to go to the main destination every hour.
