Transactional letter (is this form ok?) Dear Mrs.M. Daniels: Since I have seen your advertisement in my school magazine, I would like to inform you that I would like to assist to your english private lessons. On the one hand, I would like to tell you that I am 20 years old; the reason why I would like to learn english is that I love languages (specially english) and I need to improve it in order to pass my First Certificate exam, that I will be sitting next month. Furthermore, I would like you to know that (as you can imagine because I have told you before that I will be sitting my First Certificate exam next month, and that is a B2 level) my level of english is B2, but I think I need to improve my speaking and listening areas, so that, I could be like a native english speaker. On the other hand, I would like to know if it would be possible to have some information about the prize of your english classes as well as the place and the hour they are taken. Moreover, I would like to know if I will be your only student at a time or if there will be more students during the class. Finally, I will be more than gratefull if you inform me about if books are needed (when taking your classes). I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Yours sincerely.

Korrigieren Sie bitte! Hallo Carola: Mir geht es gut, danke. Ich denke dass das eine gute Idea ist. Vielleicht wir können zu Deutschland reisen. Ich möchte zwei Freunden mitbringen. Möchtest du Freunden mitbringen auch? Ich habe ein Hotel, das wir gehen können, in Berlin gefundet. Wir müssten 20€ pro Tag zählen. Möchtest du? Antworte mir bitte bald. Liebe Grüße.

A little angry I think I will never understand some people, I mean, their way of acting. I know we are a lot of us, and everyone has a different way of thinking but I think that all of us are supposed to be nice with the other, even more when you don't know the person very much or you are just a neighbour. There are some people that you talk to and they reply to you as they didn't like to have a word with you, and I don't understand why. Is because of this kind of things why I get a little angry. Well, what I've just written is not very "well- built" and maybe the comas aren't in a good place or something like that but I've just written what is going on inside of my head right now.

Meine Familie! Ich wohne in Madrid in Pan y Toros straße. Ich bin Studienterin und habe zwei Geschwister, eine Nichte und drei Neffen. Mein Vatter ist sechsundsechzig Jahre alt und er arbeitet nicht. Meine Mutter ist achtundfünfzig Jahre alt und sie ist Hausfrau. Antonio, mein Brüder ist Techniker. Er hat vier Kinder und sie haißen: Diego, Jorge, Unai und Luna. Sie gehen in die Schule zusammen. Meine Schwester Natalia wohnt bei uns. Sie ist fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt und seine Beruf ist Kellnerin.

2011's holiday I arrived to Dublin on Monday, the evening. Well, honestly I didn't watch Dublin until the next morning because in the eveningIwent to "my house" (a house I rented); the house was in Finglas, a small town closed to Dublin (about 20 minutes by bus). I stayed in Ireland for a month, and during my time there I used to go to Dubling every day (except the weekend). But I wasn'toly in Dublin; I also visited more cities like Galway and some in the North of Ireland. Anyway, I'm only going to speak about Dublin. Well, when I arrived to Dublin, the first impression that gave to me was that I was living on a fairy tale. Everything was green, natural, beautiful, and it smelled of fresh air. The city wasn't very big, but it had a big street (like Gran Via in Madrid) which was always very crowded. There was also a lot of shops where you could (or can?) buy a big variety of things. While my time there, I could see a lot of things like: The Trinity College, The Half-Penny Bridge, some very big malls, and I could notice that some famous shops here (in Spain) had a different name there (for example Primark is called Penny's there). The city was very cosmopolitan and there was a lot of people from different cultures and with totally different ways of dressing. The city centre was good comunicated because there was a lot of buses which took you from whatever place of Ireland to Dublin. That was really good, but some times could make the city centre really busy. The last night I was there, I visted " The Temple Bar", a zone where you can go for a drink and having fun. The next morning, I took a plane to Madrid. Although Ireland was so good, I felt like coming back to Spain, overall because of the weather. It was raining the most of the days!

English homework: informal letter Hi Chris Thanks for your e-mail, it's great to hear from you! Don't worry about the late reply, I have been busy too. I'm happy you are better now, and it's nice to hear that all of you are good. I'm fine; I've just come from Germany, where I've been for three months. I went there for practising my german, so now I can speak it a little more fluently. I think that when you have time you should visit Germany, it's such a nice country! Related to my family, I have some good news: my mother is pregnant, so I'm going to be the older sister now! It's good to know that we are going to be able to pass some days together. Of course I can help you. I think "Filha Hotel" is a good one, and it's not very expensive; it's about 20 euros per night and it's next to my the city centre. Now, I'm having some days off until 1st of June, so call me when you are free for showing you the city. Well, that's all for now. Give my regards to your family. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care
