Writing practice for PET 1) You have recently moved to a town and have bought a postcard of the town to send to your penfriend. In your postcard to your penfriend, you should explain why you have moved; tell your friend what facilities the town has; say what you dislike about living there. (35-45 words) Dear Helen, I moved to Rosslyn last month, after I'd decided to apply for a job here. Rosslyn has a large park, where I sometimes like to go for a walk. I have some gossip neighboors - and I hate it! See you soon, James. ---------- 2) "I want to find out about music in your country. Are there many live concerts? What music do you like listening to?" Write a letter, answering your friend's questions. (About 100 words) Dear Franklin, Answering your questions about music in my country, I can tell you there is a plenty of regional rythms in Brazil. Our country is one of the largests in the world, as you know. Every region of Brazil has its own culture - and its own musical production. Samba, forró and bossa nova are examples of this variety of Brazilian rythms. In many places, we can find live concerts. However, this habit is decreasing. Some traditional rythms, nowadays, are surviving in cultural associations. Live concerts of samba, Brazilian popular music (my favourite kind of music) and others are still common in big cities, though. Let me know about music in your country too! Hugs, John.
