What I used to do at Halloween

When I was a child, I didn't use to celebrate Halloween because my mum didn't like it. Now, I celebrate Halloween although my mum still doesn't like it. Instead of celebrating Halloween, we used to celebrate "La Castañada". My mum used to buy sweets chestnuts. Now, we don't celebrate it because I meet my friends and go out. We watch scary films and play computer games now and again.

Description of a place

I live in a small town in the north-east of Spain. It has changed a lot over the years.
In the past the town was much smaller than now. There used to be two cinemas and discos for the young people. Now there are a lot of candy shops.
People used to work in the farming or in factories. But now the factories are all closed so the people work in shops like shops assistants or they are the boss. People work like fishers too.
People used to travel by car but not all the people had one so they wnet on foot. The station is still there but nowadays it's more modern. These days there are lots of cycle lanes. The town is very different at the moment. It's bigger and more modern and I love it!

What I'd take to a desert island

Have you ever thought about which one thing you’d take to a desert and uninhabited island? Well, I’d take my motorbike. Obviously, I’d take my family and friends too.

My motorbike is nearly new because I bought it in August. It’s white, black and green. Do you like the combination? I love it! It’s made by Rieju, a Spanish motorbike company which have a lot of history in the world of motorbikes.

It’s fairly important to me because it was a gift from my parents when I got high marks in my studies last year. I love it because I have the freedom to go where I want and whenever I want and my mum doesn’t have to take me everywhere.

In conclusion, my motorbike is the thing without which I can’t survive as much on a desert island as in my town. I recommend you to buy are and tell me what you feel when you are riding it.

Writing

Dear Ms Brookes,

Thank you very much for the letter. I look forward to going to the college. I would like to go to England because I want to study a lot of English and I have never been to UK.

Now, I am going to answer your questions. Although staying with a family in a house in the suburbs may be good, I prefer to stay with a family in an apartment in the city centre because I can go sightseeing and visit the historic centre. I would like  to go to watch a football match because I am a big fan of sports. I want to buy some new clothes too. In addiction, I would like to visit London or Liverpool because I saw some photographs and they are beautiful cities. It is not necessary that the family meet me at the airport because I want to buy some presents for them and I would like it to be a surprise.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely


Alejandro

Essay

Money is the most important thing right now in this capitalist society but in the past it wasn’t so. People negotiated with meat, fish, vegetables and so on. However, now we use the money but there isn’t much.
On one hand, many people don’t have it so a lot of families say:” I’m a bit short of money this month or It’s sometimes hard to make ends meet”. Also they have to pay debts so they must put their money where their mouth is.
On the other hand, there are a lot of rich people who have got money to burn.
