    My village's train station is going to be closed in the name of efficiency and economy Dear Sir/ Madame, I am writing to express my concern about your decission of closing the train station in my village. Firstly, I must admit that I have personal and selfish motifs to ask you to re-think about this issue. As I see it, not only does this station allow us to move easily but it also involves a high percentage of tourists that if it wasn't for it, they would never come here. Nevertheless, I understand that a company is not a charity and profits are totally neccesary as well as being up to date as far as efficiency is concerned. Therefore, I am convinced that The Government is likely to support companies which boost the use of the public transport. Despite being in crisis time, I can affirm that if you ask, you will be given a loan or any type of help. On the other hand, I strongly believe that if you decided to increase the ticket prices we would still taking the train as it would continue being cheaper than usig our cars. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    El Consumo de Alcohol Entre Los Jóvenes

    Una encuesta escolar sobre el uso de drogas en España ha publicado que la edad de inicio de los jóvenes es a los 14 años. Sorprendentemente, las cifras coinciden en mi país, pese a la nueva ley del gobierno turco que prohíbe el consumo y venta de alcohol desde las 10 a las 6 de la noche.

    En España, uno de cada cuatro jóvenes ha hecho botellón. Esto de ( ir o estar)con alcohol en mano caminando por la calle resulta muy extraño aquí, pero en la sociedad española se ha convertido en algo muy normal. Aquí recojo las palabras de un adolescente español, diciendo que, “No hay alternativas. Una copa en la discoteca cuesta 12 euros y no trabajo.” La situación es aún peor en Turquía. Tras la ley seca, los precios del alcohol se han disparado y el licor se ha convertido en un articulo de lujo. De hecho, muchos estudiantes han optado por fabricar su propia cerveza en casa.

    Según una encuesta española, el 84% de los jóvenes entre 14 y 18 años han probado el alcohol alguna vez, y el 74% de estos lo han hecho en el último mes. Creo que esto es por la fácil accesibilidad ya que el 62% de los jóvenes españoles lo consiguen en el supermercado. En mi país, este tema se considera tabú debido a la religión y al resultar un producto prohibido para el Islam.

    A mi parecer, la educación familiar juega un papel importante en cuanto al consumo de alcohol. El control y diálogo son factores muy decisivos. En España, el 24% de los padres creen que sus hijos no compran alcohol, pero la realidad es diferente. De hecho, algunos llegan a beber más de 10 cubatas en una sola noche. La mayoría de los jóvenes no saben divertirse sin beber. Aún han encontrado un nuevo lugar para beber: el metro. Esto se llama “metrollón.”

    Para concluir, quiero decir que entiendo perfectamente cómo esta etapa de transición nos hace vulnerables, yo soy joven también, pero al mismo tiempo necesitamos recordar que hay alternativas. Es decir, hay otras actividades en las que podríamos participar y de menos riesgo.


    Genial!  Como idea, ya que estas usando un registro formal podr'ias usar la palabra combinados en lugar de cubatas.

    Y el termino metroll'on ni lo conoc'ia y eso que vivo en Espa;a. Muy buena redacci'on.

    A complaint letter I am writig to express my disatisfaction at the hotel and the service I booked on your website. Me and my family, we had to stay in a different hotel because it was full, we agreed but what happened next was unnacceptable. They sent us to a gloomy hotel on the outskirts of the city wich involved wasting more money on public transport, loosing time and beeing annoyed too much time. As far as the hotel is concerned, they gave us two beedrooms when I had booked a family room. As we have little children, I felt totally insecure sleeping in different rooms, so my husand and I stayed awake every night to check if they were safe. Still, the worst is yet to come, I went several times to the reception and nobody was there and every single time I tried to speak to any member of the staff they clearly ignored me. Even two of them were extremelly rude to me. Of coruse, I filled in a complaint form wich I have attached to this e/mail. Eventually, we had an added problem. On changing the hotel, they recolocated us without having on mind that we are vegan and this is something that I pointed out on my booking. You assured me that we would enjoy a vegan friendly restaurant and the only food we could eat was lettuce and rice. For all this reasons, I feel entitled to ask for a refund of the money. Looking forward to your response, Yours faithully

    A school newspaper article. Just in case some students do not know, scholl rules regarding the use of mobile phones has changed, clearly said; It is not allowed to carry this devices. The reason why this has happened is that teachers were fed up and annoyed with the ring tones during their classes. Even some students dared to use their mobile phones in the middle of an exam. Not only is it annoying but it also disturbs the rest of the classmates. Students have immediately reacted, writing complaints to the Education Department. Even so, there is a group of students who is for this banishment. They are proud of having given the idea to the headmaster indeed. Our newspaper, as a part of this school, would like to have a say. We strongly believe that we could find an intermediate arrangement. Experts in Education claim that phones should not be allowed at class but why don´t we set a place in the teachers desk to leave our devices during the lecture? Despite bringing them to the school, we couldn´t use them. However, at the end of the day we would have them again to call our parents and deal with other issues that we have to attend after school.

    A musical event iterrupted. Hi Anne, You know that I had tickets for Shakira´s concert, don´t you? Well, It was in "Baluarte", doors were opened at 9 p.m but we were qeueing up since 11 a.m. Obviously, she was gorgeous, as I see it, she dances beter than she sings. By the time the concert reached the half of the concert she suddenly stopped and the audience started to shout. Then, her manager appeared on stage and told us that she had just broken her hips and she wasn´t able to continue. Despite the fact that I had been willing to see this concert, I felt sorrow for her. Even so, we automatically received an e-mail from the orgainsers telling us that we would had the opportunity to see her again for free or that we coluld have a total refund for the cost of the tickets. So, I have a dilemma, I don´t know if it is worth going again to a concert that I have already seen. On the other hand, having this money back would allow me to go to other concert or event. I must clear my mind and make a decission soon.

    Shops open on bank holidays It is getting more and more usual to buy on bank holidays. Do you think about shop assistants who are working those days? It could be said that if a shop or a big mall is open on a bank day, people who work long hours from monday to saturday will have a choice to go shopping. On the contrary, I think that it is totally unnecesary because nowadays everybody knows how to buy online. Besides, from my point of view, those shops won't earn such a big amount of money to consider that it deserves to have employees working. On the other hand, some people would say that more employees will be needed to cover those days, and they see it as job oportunity. I totally desagree with this point of view. I hope you don't my saying that it is absolutely false because the staff is exactly the same that the rest of the year and they don't earn more money in exchange. In conclusión, if you hate working at your free time, why doesn't matter you that other people have to do it?
