WILDLIFE UNDER THREAT Nowadays, there are a lot of animals which are in danger due to different reasons, such as global warming, hunting or habitat destruction. This essay will consider some of the endagered creatures, as well as why we must protect them. Unfortunately, there are animal species which are under threat in so many different areas of the world. For example, we have the blue whale and the great white shark in the ocean, the polar bear at North Pole, and finally the african elephant and the black rhino at desert areas. We have to protect and save this creatures because they are in this situation because of us; so it is our responsability. Furthermore, we need them in order to conserve nature balance and world's wealth and beauty. To sum up, in my opinion we must be more responsable and look after our world and its wonderful animal species.

What do you like about living in your city? I think what I like most of living in my city is the weather. I know that it could be quiet hot in summer, specially in August, but actually I'm used to it and the rest of the year the temperature is very nice; days are sunny and the sky has a beautiful blue colour. Another thing I like very much is the culture; its traditions, going out with your friends or family and eat some "tapas"... I love it!

Please, can somebody correct my entry? Thanks! Dear Alex, What a wonderful news in your letter! I'm ver happy that you have passed your exam. Congratulations! You deserve it because you have studied so hard. Now it's time to enjoy the prize! If I were you I would spend the money buying a new computer game. I think it would be better than buying some new cothes because clothing is something that you need and maybe you mum will buy it for you on her own but she won't definitly buy to you a computer game, she hates them! Better sill you can share a computer game with other people so we can play together when I'll visit you and have a great time! I suggest that you could buy the last game of Mario Bross, people have told me it's amazing. Well, I hope to hear from you soon and tell me what you finally chose. Cheers, Paula.

Computer games "Computer games are anti-social and violent, and their users are mindless nerds" I disagree with this statement in despite of I'm not a computer games player and I don't really like video games. I think computer games don't have to be anti-social and violent because there are so many kinds of games. Of course some of them are violent because you use weapons and you have to kill people to win the game, but this is only a part of the whole games, for example there are some games which help you to improve your cognitive skills and this is very good for people! On the other hand, they don't have to be anti-social either. There are online computer games where people meet other people or play with their owns friends so they are in contact with other persons. In my expirience games players aren't mindless nerds, on the contrary I have friends who play to computer games and they are quite smart.

Fashion and clothes I don't really care about fashion, actually I don't like going shopping because it stressed me a lot. I prefer casual and comfortable clothes lika a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, maybe a blouse or if it's winter a sweater. I hardly ever wear high-heels -except for weddings- and I don't usually wear earrings or bracelets either because I like to be a simple person in this respect. I have had to wear clothes I didn't like, for example a uniform when I worked as a waitress in a wedding. It was a maroon dress with a small white apron, it was quite ugly but the worse thing of all was that the dress was at least three sizes bigger than my size so I looked ridiculous in it!

Report excercise A NEW ROOM FOR STUDENTS Introduction This report is to recommend a room in the school for a student common room which is going to be used when students are not in class. I interviewed a number of students to find out their views. Suggested room Most of the students thought that the indicated room would be class five, on the first floor. They gave the following reasons: 1. It is the biggest room at the building. 2. The first floor is well known for all the students. 3. The bathrooms are near to class five. It could also be class four on the first floor too, but it is a bit smaller and it has only one window. Furniture and decoration Several students suggested the following accessories for the common room: • A couple of sofas where they could rest. • A big table to do the homework. • Some computers to play computer games or to research information. • Some posters with English lessons. Final recommendation I would therefore recommend class five for the new student common room.

Learning English Hi everyone! This is the first time I write here, I logged in yesterday and I really think that italki is an amazing website to learn lenguages. I started to learn English at school since I was 6 or 8 years old -I don't remember when exactly- and then I kept learning English taking intensive courses when I was at univerity. However, I realize that the method which is used to teach English in Spain is not good at all, because Spanish people are studing English all their lives but we can't speak English fluenty. So I decided to study by my own a year ago and I have learnt more English than all my life, specially pronuntiation, listening and comprehension. The internet is plenty of resourses to learn anything! Now I have to improve my speaking and I hope to make it in this website, although I'm sheepish and it's hard for me.
