Family Life I’m going to write about my family. I have a big family and it makes me feel so lucky. I have two brother, one is the oldest (Carlos) and other the youngest (Ricardo). I’m the middle child. Two boys and only a girl… You can imagine! Our childhood was an adventure. We passed great times together but, we sometimes wanted killing each other. In the childhood’s home, we shared the same bedroom for a long time. The house wasn’t a big house and my two brothers and I slept in the same room. My friend Tara always said: “Your home seems New Year’s Eve every day!” Nowadays, the situation is so different. Carlos moved to Madrid a few months ago and Ricardo and I lived with our parents in the island. We cannot see us like we want, but we stay in contact by WhatsApp every day. I don’t change nothing in my childhood. It was amazing thankful to my brothers. They taught me a lot and they are there when I always need. I think this is the most important thing.

Formal e-mail Dear Mr Williams, My name is Patricia and I’m from Gran Canaria. It’s an island situated in the Canary Islands, in Spain. I would like to improve my English and I think Big Ben Language School is the best option to do it. I read all the information from the website but I have some question still. I need to improve my English because of my work. I’m Chemical Engineer and I’m going to go abroad in a few months for working. I will work in an international company and, obviously, It’s esencial for me to speak and write fluent English. Are the teachers in the school qualified to teach me high level? I haven’t so much time. I think I have intermediate level writing English so I need to practice more speaking. But I have a little question: how many students will be in each class? I’m a little shy and, for this reason, I’d like not more of 6-7 students per class. On the other hand, I fly from Gran Canaria in a few days and I’d like to know if I need to take special class material for the school. I wouldn’t like I forget something here. I already paid all but I was looking all documents and I don’t know if the price include only the teacher, accommodation and expenses or It includes more than this. Can you explain me what’s included in the price exactly? Thank you so much for your patience. Finally, I have never been in London and I don’t know what amenities have in the places near to school or accommodation. You help me a lot if you could tell me something about the nearby. I look forward to receiving your reply shortly. Thank you so much for your help. Patricia.

Little intense time We met by chance. We're in the right place, in the right time. We lived fun moments together. I called you: "My sweet clown". We felt really good. From the moment, everything has been incredible. Trips, adventures, laughter, emotions, joys, feelings. We felt in love. You build my smiles every day. You make me so happy. You're a wonderful person. We had lived so many things I thought I knew you for years. What's the most beautiful of all? I met you only 4 months ago... but I know You'll be forever.

One winter day One winter day. It was raining and she was at home. Her company, her mind. Her skin covered by only one blanket. It was not cold but she needed to feel sheltered. She missed feel him. She missed him. Friday had become Sundays, with nothing else to do. Sitting, half lying on the couch, watching the drops fall through the glass of her window. As she felt, falling helplessly. The crossed out dramatically. She knew deep down that they were right. Since childhood he had been. Of a grain of sand make mountains, that was her philosophy of life. Without it I want it as well. But that day decided to take action on the matter. Simply, it's over. Because in the end all goes well, and it goes well is that it is still not the end. And is that the time was yet to come. It had to be patient, wait ...

For you Darling, a letter is too short to tell you how much I love you, but I need to express my feelings. You are the sun that shines on my life, let me breathe air. When I look into your eyes, I see my whole world within them and I think about you all day, I dream about you all night. I love you with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life. Since I love, I laugh, I cry, I feel happy and sad, all at once; I have provided here, taking care from afar and wishing to be close. I love you not for who you are, but for what I am when we are together and I feel happy when I look at it, but you do not know. So I give you this heart-shaped chocolates.

Memories of yesterday. Yesterday, I thought you were the only one. The definitive. That you were for me. And me, for you. I would guard you until the end. That would not hurt me and would not let me ever want. Because being together, hearts beating as one. Because what we felt for each other had no name, was indescribable. Today, I feel cheated. I can hardly believe it. I can see how you've changed. You're not for me. I am not for you. I missed your affection when I've needed. Did not you care it deserved. I've been the one who has been honest. I felt heart. But for you, it was all a game. A rather macabre game. What hurts today, tomorrow will make me stronger.

'Halloween' in Spain. Today, I'm going to write about how Halloween has been introduced in Spain. Increasingly, Spain are celebrating the popular holiday called 'Halloween'. But this holiday comes from the Celts and It's an old tradition in Ireland and Scotland, not in Spain. Here, until a few years ago, we only remember the dead on November 1st. It's called All Saints Day. We didn't usually celebrate the night before as a Halloween's night. However, nowadays It's more a more common that people (especially young people) make a terrorific parties that night. I'm an university student and I have been invited to many parties on October 31st. A few years ago, It was unthinkable. But the times change. I think that this is happening because of globalization. As is happening with Halloween, It will with many other traditions.

What is the difference between "yet" and "still"? I think that this two words have the same meaning but I can not use interchangeably. Thanks for all! )
