Filthy hotel To whom it may concern I am writing to complain about the lack of cleanliness of your facility moreover the rudeness of the staff on charge of the reception desk at your brand hotel in New Castle. My husband and me spent a couple of nights in your hotel the last 19th of May. As soon as we did the check in and we were into the room, we realised that something wrong happened. The bed was not properly made and the floor of the room was filthy. We went to the reception desk to complain about it and the staff, in a very impolite way, changed our room for another one. Our surprise came when the new room was, at least, as dirty as the first one. Towels on the floor, bedside tables plenty of leftovers and empties, coffee poured over the sheets.. everything from the previous guests. After a second change, we were finally satisfied and we stayed in the room. We had very little time to visit the city and we lost almost two and a half hours before being able to go out and explore the places we wanted to visit. I was very surprised that things like that could happen in a reputable hotel as yours. Despite the fact that we complained to the hotel manager several times, nobody listened or came to apologise to us. I trust that a bothering situation such as our awful experience does not happen again. Yours faithfully

The happiest day of my life! There have been several happy days along my life but, without any doubt, the happier of them was when I arrived in San Frnacisco, CA to spend a fortnight holiday. Moreover, I was celebrating that I had passed successfully the public state competitive examination and I became a civil servant. I was looking forward to travel to this wonderful city because is the place in the world I like most. I had watched this city on the TV hundreds of times, but being there was an amazing experience. Despite my happiness, at first, I was a little worried about people carrying guns everywhere and anytime but, this fear wasn't justified. Every American we met was extremely kind with us and we felt safe anytime, even walking along the street in the middle of the night. The only thing to complain about this fantastic city is the fact that probably, San Francisco is the most expensive city I've visited in my entire life. I realised of that when a waitress from a road diner ask us for a twenty dollars tip after our first lunch. Both of us were petrified. Anyway, I want to come back there but first, I need to save a huge amount of money!

Teleworking! Telework is another advantage that modern tech companies such as "starts up" have brought nowadays. Having a teleworking job allows people stay at home and work from there. You avoid commuting everyday and it's not necessary to lose your temper in a traffic jam during the rush hour. Moreover you cut down on expenses like petrol and money for lunch and if you work by shifts, usually, they are very flexible. The company also gets advantages because workers hardly ever take a medical leave or a "sickie" (a day pretending being sick). Also there are no problems of labour harassment. A friend of mine who works as a translator, puts Spanish subtitles in some TV shows to allow deaf people watching TV in an accessible way and his office is a beautiful cottage in the middle of the countryside...his own house.

Food, food, food!! I´m going to talk about mediterranean diet. Secondly, I´ll talk about a special food in my hometown and finally, I´ll speak about a family gathering. I´ve had the opportunity of tasting a lot of foreigner foods and I like them, but I really like spanish and italian food, I mean, mediterranean food. Fortunatelly, as I live in Spain I have the chance of having a mediterranean diet, the most healthiest diet in the world. This one consists of eating a lot of vegetables, fruits, olive oil, wine and so on. This diet pevents diseases like cholesterol, diabetes, heart attacks, obesity or overweight and extends our life expectance more than people with other diets. About the special food in my hometown, every year, in the summer, around the fifteenth of August, all people of the village eat a big "paella" in the main square of the village. A catering company cooks a "paella" for five hundred people at least. The neighbours bring to the square portable tables and chairs, coolers full of drinks like beer, wine, soft drinks, etcetera. Some people are in charge of making "sangría", a typical spanish drink made with red wine, alcohol, fruits like peach, apple, pear and a lot of sugar. It´s very important to drink it as cold as possible. Regarding a family gathering, the most special I remember is Christmas Eve dinner. All family members go to my parents´ house to have dinner together. While the parents cook, we set the table with the best tablecloth, glassware, crockery and cutlery. We usually eat as a appetizer prawns, salmon, mussels, octopus and so on. As a main course we have roast lamb; my mother also make a spanish omelet (también sirve omelette) and sausages for her grandchildren. We usually drink cider with the seafood and red wine with the meat. We don´t eat any fruit that night. As a dessert, my sister in law always brings a homemade cake. Dinner ends eating some typical christmas sweets, nuts ,making a toast with champagne and singing christmas carols. This is all.
