Exercise. Formal letters (I'm tired to write letters...)
Dear Sir,
I'm writting in response to your advertisement which appeared in last week's edition of ''Sex, drugs and Rock n'Roll Magazine''.
I'm interested in attending ''the Bennington Rock Festival'' at Bennington Park, of course.
I have some doubts about the Festival and that's why I would be grateful for more details. I was wondering if you could send me the schedule with the order of appearance of the bands. Mainly I would like to know if ''The Sheets'' starts their gig after midnight, because I'd arrive Heathrow on Saturday at nine o'clock in the evening.
I also have some queries reagrding transports between Heathrow and Bennington Park, it would be very kind of you to let me know whether the timetable is already finalized, and if it is this way, please, could you attach it in one email back?
Sincerally, I'm in dire straits, and the total cost of two hundred and thirty pounds toghether with the flight tickets, are going to, definitely,sink my poor economic situation; Would you offer to me a cheaper ticket for just two days? In the first lines I wrote here I told you that I'd arrive on Saturday, not on Friday.
In the other hand, I would like to know if there are rooms for three if possible; my old prison friends ''Scareface'' and ''Bubba'' will go there with me.
thank you in advance,
Respectfully,

Informal letters III. Ano used to ther exercise
Hi Roger,
thanks for your last letter, it's always a pleasure to hear from you.
In August we usually go to the coast, to the beach. We love Cádiz, and there we're used to going to the beach everyday; we take a walk, swim, get a cold beer in the "chiringuitos"(this is how we call a beach bar). So it's also beautiful to go for a walk at night in those little towns.
When you're here, I'll take you to my favorite beaches and we will launch at "el Rufo".. you'll know how the BEST Russian salad tastes. When the sun goes down there are some beachclubs with live music so get ready to enjoy it.
Forget about bringing warm clothes, only a sweater or a denim jacket for the nights. You'll wear only shorts, t-shirts and flip flops... beach wear, I mean.
well dude, see you soon!

Informal letters exercises.
dear friend,
thanks for the letter. We can't wait for your visit.
Don't worry about our habits in Christmas... we take these days just as vacations. Spanish people tent to eat and drink a lot. You'll have to get used to it.
I will try to show you beautiful places of the city, I'll take you to good restaurants and clubs. And of course you'll watch a match of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, I got the tickets, so get ready!!!
Bring warm clothes. This is Spain, but the Winter is hard in this city. It doesn't rain everyday as in your sad and grey town but it's better for you to bring some waterproof clothes too.
the countdown has started!!!
see you!

(this is an exercise)... I have to write back a letter to an imaginary friend called Mark.
Dear Mark,
it's good to get news from you! thanks for your last letter.
I miss you and I also miss the lifestyle in the farm. You asked me how wa I settling in Madrid, how does it feel... well dude, I moved six months ago and I'm almost a veteran in here.
My apartment in Madrid is very small and simple, it has one livingroom, one bedroom, the kitchen and the bath. All of this on a fifth floor without elevator!!!!.. so I'm getting fit. I live in the downtown so I can watch the heart of the city through the window.
I get up at 7 am, have a shower, get dressed and I get a coffee before I get in "the jungle". I take the subway to go to work; it is a mess, but... I fall in love every trip (I'm a fucking romantic, hahahha). I usually spend the all day at work... all day long. Spanish people tend to work from eight to eight ... it's amazing! but... meanwhile I can check Facebook, read the news, get a coffee, talk about football, try to score a brunette, get another coffee... and sometimes we have a drink afterwork... Madrid is killing me!!!
So figure it out, say hello to Lady and her crew, because I'm gonna stay here for a long long time. I won't come back to the farm, for the harvest either.
But if you're thinking about a change in your life, you must know that you have a couch in Madrid waiting for you.
See you!!!
