Hi Dan Hi Dan, Thanks very much for your last letter, it was great to hear from you again. I´m sorry I haven´t written recently, but I´m very busy. Doný worry! You are a sociable boy and you won´t have problems to make friends. You should join in the football team or why don´t you give drama lessons? I think that both are the best ways to make new friends, also, I´m sure everyone will want to meet you and everything will be easier for you. I´m looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Michael.

WRITING Hi Ben, Thank you very much for your letter. It was great to hear from you again. I´m sorry I haven´t recently, buy I have been very busy. I study many subjects at school and my favourite subjects are geography and, above all, Spanish. I like history a lot, also, however I dislike art because it´s boring. In the future, I would like to study Spanish Languge and Literature because the Lorca´s poetry is amazing and I love the Miguel Hernández´s poems. Also, I would like to work in Spain. I´m looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Michael.

Hi Ben Hi Ben, Thank you very much for your letter. It was great to hear from you again. Sorry I haven´t written for so long, but I have been very busy. If you came next year it would be great because you will like my country, I´m sure. The best time of year to visit my country is summer because the weather is dry and warm, winter is horrible. In my town, there are many interesting things for teenegers, like, for example, a sports centre where they can do judo, karate, bungee jumping ans another things. I´m looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Michael.

I would like to go with you and your family.

I´m looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Michael.

My favourite film "Platoon" is a war film that was a big hit in 1986. It was directed by Oliver Stone. It stars Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe, well-known actors. The film is about Chris Taylor, a soldier sent to Vietnam war. I particularly I liked the performance of Willem Dafoe and what less I liked were the violent scenes. Besides that, George Delerue´s sountrack is amazing because it´s a music that excites. On the whole, "Platoon" is a film that I recommend everybody because it tells a incredible story.

My holidays Hi Peter, How are you? I hope that you are fine. I am writing this letter because I want to tell you how my holidays were. I had fun in Estoril. Estoril climate is amazing, almost always it was sunny and its night life is very lively. There are fantastic restaurants and hotels, and besides that its pubs have concerts every night. Furthermore, our holidays weren´t very expensive and we colud buy souvenirs for or families and friends. For that, I recommend you that you go on holidays to Estoril. Best wishes, Michael.

Celebrity scandals in the press: should they banned. Many people think that the reporting of celebrity scandals in the press should be banned because it´s very negative for kids. They said that we have to protect to kids and to show them good behaviours. Last month, a well-known footballer appeared in the press having drugs, and he is the idol of many people. These behaviours are very dangerous for the children education. Finally, I consider that celebrity scandals shouldn´t appear in the press because it can be a bad example for all of us, and above all, for kids.
