B2 Overcome
I did my FCE exam the previous month for which I've been preparing. It lasted from 9 a.m to 14 p.m, quite intensive and stressful with many nervous people including myself. I found the exam fairly difficult and the time for each part was so short, it passed too fast! However, I managed to complete all sheets and finished it the best I could.
Since then I've been waiting for the result eagerly and with doubts. Finally, I've receive it this month and I've passed it! I felt very happy though I have to remain studying and practicing my English skills in order not to forget them and improve much more.

Writing an article
Flats usually have a few living space with a tiny balcony. Maybe it doesn't appeal to you but some people don't need anything else. Flats are easier to clean and also they are cheaper. One income for living and renting a flat near the city centre would be enough, for instance, for single people.
In contrast, if you can afford living in an old house you would enjoy a lot in its wide living space. In addition, its high roofs keep your sense of freedom and it is entirely full of light. Nevertheless, the downside is often the ancient structure of the building and also its barroc layout which is not very important but fairly ugly.
On the other hand, there is a big variety of modern houses where you can find the best minimal designs and what is more, the very best construction materials that prevent you suffering the extrem climate changes in summer and winter.
In my own view, the place where you live is part of yourself hence it is important to focus on what you need and what you have.

Writing a letter
What I liked most about your chapter was your description of ‘El Saler’. Surely anybody would like to visit all the variety of beaches with the onset of spring and the milder weather because in summer it’s too crowd.
Another place I liked was the city centre, surrounded by ancient and historic buildings. It would be nice to add some information about modern buildings as well.
About the parking in the city centre, it’s fairly difficult to leave the cars there before 2 pm so I reckon that you should recommend people to get on by others means of transport.
Don’t forget to change the museum schedule. They open from 10 am to 7 pm!
In addition, I’d suggest include information about nightlife. Ruzafa’s pubs are a good choice to enjoy and meet people.

Cinemas
Spanish cinemas have become lot less affordable for many people because of rising prices in recent years. When I was a child I'll never forget the first time I watched The Lion King in the cinema. Tickets cost 500 "pesetas" (spanish currency before of the introduction of the euro) which is about 3 euros.
Nowadays, going to the cinema can cost at least about 8 or 9 euros.
Nevertheles, there are others alternatives in order not to splash out much money on cinema. Fortunately, some local cinemas in the city have survived the new cinemas in the huge shopping centers, manteining their essence and providing films a bit less current for half-price tickets.
Obviously, neither the seats are so comfortable nor the screen so large than the new cinemas but I think it's a good choice for cinema lovers.

Bye dear friend!
Meeting with my close friend yesterday has made me to reminisce. We have known each other for twelve years and we still keep in contact despite the fact of being so far. We neither talk nor see each other very often but we catch up quickly. When we meet I feel like if years hadn't gone by but in present, it's kind of queer.
Now, she has moved further than before and I don't know when I'll see her on the ice.
She loves travelling, juggling and going out with friends. Sure she gets used to living there right away.

First writing here!
Hi there, this is my first time doing language exchange. Actually, if I had known this before I would have joined here sooner. I think speaking is my weakest skill because I practice it lot less than other parts such as reading or listening. This web is fantastic to communicate with foreign people. I expect learning more and more and help with my native spanish to others, I mean, mutual learning must be really good.
Please, let me know any grammar mistake : )
