Is it perfect to demonstrate or for demonstrating? I have a doubt in this sentence: "This paceful area is perfect for demonstrating that we also know how to have fun" "it's perfect for demonstrating" sounds weird to me I would say it suits better "it's perfect to demonstrate that...". Can anyone explain me the differences and why the first sentence is the correct? Thank you

Proposal CAE- Which aspects of the college should be filmed, who should be interviewed and why First of all, I would like to thank you the interest your television company has shown for our college. As you have requested, this proposal is aimed to suggest the convenient aspects of our college that we desire to be filmed and why. In the following paragraphs I have tried to condense the two most relevant points. Quality of Teaching. As you could know, our institution is well known for the school performance we have. Our students have an academic success rate above average and this is because teachers provide a connection based on communication and confidence with students. We thought that a film of one of the classrooms, not only the installations but also a real time class is essential to understand this. In concluding this first point, we propose the professor Mr. Brown for the interview. He is the most adequate person to explain the proper work and the dynamic at class. Besides, the students love him. Life outside classrooms. Since we do not want you to give an excessively serious view about our college, we desire to finish the visit in the garden. This peaceful place is perfect to demonstrate that we also know how to fun. Here, Maria, an enthusiastic and outgoing girl, will explain you the different activities we carry out including different college trips we organize every month. In conclusion, these points are the most relevant and the best represent our college. We trust that they meet your expectation and we looking forward you visit as a manner to share our daily life in the Britain College.

What means high school points? I need to know what the meaning of "high school point". I saw that in "Candidates are eligible to apply if the have 240 high school points" and I don't know if this refers to credits in your degree or is a kind of grade/mark. I know it is not a grammar question but it's related to vocabulary.

Student Exchange -Much More Than Learning English (Article CAE) One of the most relevant preoccupations that non-native English speakers have is to learn English. Even though we could study in our own homes, it is necessary to make a linguistic immersion if you want to speak fluency. Fortunately, we have several useful methods for this as an example, the exchange programmers. That being said, I would like to explain my experience in one of these programmers in Canada. I was there for four weeks in a host family, a perfect time without neglecting my studies. To be honest, it was a tough experience for me at first; I have never been so far my home and being alone in another country it is something that frightened me. During my stay there, I have to share the room with exchange partner and the problems of communication by language don’t help at all. Only when I started to be more confident in my English, the relationship got much better. The family was definitely delighted; they were always looking after me even when there was nothing to do in the evenings, above all. And although I regret not having travelled more, we did a wonderful camping trip to the mountains. I have never seen a landscape as that; we were in the hearth of nature. Even we saw bears! I really recommend this experience. Perhaps, I could criticize the expensive plane ticket to go to Canada -you have to pay for yourself- and more information of how much expensive is the daily life there. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and the most important thing; you have a friend for life.

Fashion and Changing Lifestyles. The world we live in, so stressful and chaotic, we hope to find a peaceful place where we can be who we are, in few words, we're looking for our identity. There are several ways to stand out from the others but fashion is the most attractive. We usually think clothes we wear is a way to say: Hey, I'm unique, look at me!. But, is it really?. On websites we post comments, photos and follow blogs according to a certain style of living, the style of most people. The point is to pretend to be somebody who whe are not, being different but wearing the same. This is not new, our grandpas had the same problem than us. Even worse because of the strong repression that they have had to live. Their days have been more difficult, particulary for women: Being a lady, always with a smile in her lips and wearing large dresses to cover up your entire body -Not mention how difficult it had to be for them to go to the beach- and if you weren't married at fourty years old, society was going to frowned it upon. In the 70's we broke out with these clichés -but we introduced others- through the modern social revolutions. In Spain, perphaps it is still odd to see a blue haired guy or a man with heels taller than ours!!.

Which programme is the most popular in Spain? According to the audiences, the realshow programmes like 'Sálvame' are the most popular among others -we have moved aside football considering that it is rather a competition and not a programme-. 'Sálvame' is a gossip programme and is broadcasting on Channel 5, it is originally from Italy where there is a its own version. The programme is about a group of persons who pass the time talking about celebrities' life. The contributors are mostly journalists, but there are also those who have been famous in the past and now their glorious time have finished out. The audience is comprised from middle aged people to retired ones; There are women above all but also small groups of men and young people. The reason for its success, we finde two features getting involved: Firstly, its schedule is from 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm. This is a large time slot and allows them to get more audience. Secondly, its contain doesn't represent any intellectual challenge, an 'easy programme' at which you are going to listen gossips and judgements about people you don't really know but you are able to get hypnotised. It has to be recognized 'Sálvame' is a very profitable programme, it mustn't cost much to support talk show guests and a few of journalists contrasting with the huge benefits they get. But, Does 'Sálvame' deserves its success?. Absolutely not!. From my point of view there are more instructive and cultural programmes than 'Sálvame' and relatives. They provide us a critical eye about our world but as usual gossip programmes rule on TV.

Proposal The aim of this proposal is to suggest a convenient catering company for our new student cafe in our college. The decision is assumed between two companies: Stradfood and Jacksons. After analysing the services which each one offers, I took my decision based on the following key issues: Schedule and availability The schedules of the companies, both offer a reasonable availability. Jacksons's opening stand out for the other. So that Jacksons opens at 7 am for drinks and snacks whereas Stradfood at 8 am. Value for money Regarding to price-quality ratio, Jacksons has good prices, more competitive than Stradfood. However, low prices doesn't guarantee quality. Stradfood, on the contrary, has higher prices without being a big difference and the service clearly seems better: It is faster (it doesnt take much to cook), and the food seems more delicious. Besides the variety is also wider. Advantages for students Basically, availability and price should be sufficient characteristics for a catering company. Nevertheless, Stradfood provides the option to take the food away and which is more important; they offer part time work for students, this extra income could be essential for those with financial troubles. It necessary to add Jacksons also offer a service of international food, whre you have a menu by reduced price from different countries once a week. I consider it is an innovative idea and could help with the integration of our incoming students among whom there is a large percent of foreigns. As a conclusion, Stradfood and Jacksons both offer an excellent service and make things convenient in either aspects. But according to my personal judgement, Stradfood is the better option, not only due to his service but also the extra advandages that provides to our students.

We want to keep our park! Dear Director of the Newspaper of Ciudadela: I am writing in response to your article ´Council Sees Senseˋ about the Greendale Park and the support which your newspaper has given to the Government to turn Greendale into a park car. This letter represent the point of view of my class at the College of Ciudadela. Unfortunally we are not agree with your article, we strongly believe Greendale suposes a highly value for our town and means one of the most important Green Zones that we have in Ciudadela. The replacement with parking places is a terrible mistake and we are not willing to accept it. As a newspaper, your role is to report to us with impartialy and if this is not possible you should compare the different points of view at least. We thought you are not doing this and your attitude is prone to the government and not to the citizens. So we did a survey among the residents of Ciudadela and the results say an aproximately 75% of the survey respondents go to the park at least once a week and inside this 75%, a 33% go there daily. Besides, we have recorded the comments of the residents. They mostly think the park has an irreplaceable value, being one of the few places in the town free of contamination and where our children can play and enjoy in safe. Another positive feature, it is the only place in the town where we have tennis court for free. We dont have such service except for the private clubs and not all of us can afford to pay it. All things considered, we invite you to reconsider your attitude. We don't denay that a car park would be usefull but there are other options which haven't been contempled such as building an underground park or building in another place, for example, in the abandoned factory located close to the river. I hope that you take into consideration this letter. We want you to show the opinions of our citizens about our Greendale park which is more than a place where we have beautifull flowers. Your sincerely Ana

Rather: When do I have to use it? I'm a little confused about when I have to use rather. I know it means a grade of preference between a thing or another in a comparative sentence. But I dont know how to use it and if there are other meanings. Thank you
