Article - Happiness
Most people don't think about happiness and what that means. In fact, I was one of those people until last summer when I got over one of the worst illnesses that someone can suffer, a cancer. Have you ever thought about what happiness means to you? After staying in hospital for over six months, I finally realized what things made me feel happy.
Firstly, I'm feel particularly happy when I can spend time with all people who I love such as friends, family and my girlfriend. But, it doesn't matter what we're going to do, just being together and talking about the day-to-day is enough for me. It's so amusing to share things.
Apart from this, I'm fond of sports and I don't know what I would do if I couldn't play football with my friends. I love sports because I have been playing in a football team since I was a child and I always try to be fit and also healthy by following a balanced diet.
Last but no least, I also love traveling and I don't mind going alone or with anyone. It is so interesting and exciting getting to know how people live in other countries, about traditions and so on.
In conclusión, follow your dreams, think about what makes you feel happy and try to do it as much as you can.

Essay - A lot of money or enjoy your job
Nowadays, most people think that earning a good wage is the most important think although they are not happy at work. Therefore, we are going to examine the arguments for and against earning a lot of money and enjoying at work.
On the one hand, it is important to find your job enjoyable because most people spend a lot of hours at work doing the same task. Therefore, if you don't enjoy working you will be unhappy and bored in some years.
On the other hand, many people don't pay attention to the work they are doing every day although it is boring because they just think about having money and being rich. They think that without money, it is not possible to do things like going shopping, going on holidays and so on.
Last but not least, going on holidays is the most important thing for many people so they would rather do something unexciting and have money rather than not visit other places, especially in summer.
To sum up, I think that everyone deserves doing something that makes them be happy and also earning enough money to have an amusing life.

Review - Book
Sometimes it is fairly difficult for a lot of people to find an interesting book to read. However, last summer I had free time and I decided to read a thriller, that a friend recommended me, which is named 'A girl behind the door'.
This book tells us the story of a young girl whose name is Alice. She is 20 years old and live alone in a big countryhouse because their parents apparently died ten years ago in a traffic accident.
I think that it has been one of the best books that I have ever read because exciting and expected things constantly happen, especially in the middle of the story. For example, I would highlight a funny and thrilling moment when the girl is hearing odd noises, which she doesn't know where they come from, and she starts running away so scared. Finally, she realize that the noise came from the TV and she starts laughing.
Anyone who likes exciting and amusing stories will probably enjoy this book. Although it is a little bit expensive, it is worth it. Therefore, if you have a chance, I would advise you to buy it and read it.

Essay - Which is more important, friends or family?
Nowadays, most people are not sure if the family is more important than friends or viceversa. Therefore, we will examine what your family and friends provide you in order to know which is more important for you.
On the one hand, going out with friends is the best option if you want to have fun because you will probably have a common ground. In addition, they always want to do really funny and thrilling things, such as traveling around the world. However, the family tends to do less amusing things like watching films at home.
On the other hand, regarding the problems you may have, the family will always try to help you anyway, even if it is an economic problem. In contrast, friends will probably disappear in that case.
Lastly, another point to highlight is that people usually trust friends more than family when they want to tell something personal because they can understand more your feelings.
In conclusion, I think that it is important to keep a good relationship with both friends and the family since they provide you with useful and compatible things, which you will probably need in the future.

I recently saw your advertisement in the local newspaper and I would like to apply for a position at any of your countryside camps.
I am particularly interested in working in a summer camp because I have some experience of this king of jobs and I like dealing with children. In fact, this last year I have been working as physical education teacher at the school. Thefore, it is obvious that I love playing sports, especially football because I was playing in the local team of my town for over ten years. Although most teachers do not innovate and do the same every day, I would do my best to make children have fun.
On the other hand, I am also quite good at languages because I always try to spend as much free time as I have learning languages and doing language exchange with people who live abroad. I am able to speak fluently Spanish, English and French, but I am also keen on learning Chinesse and German.
May I share my CV with you ? If you have a look, you will be able to see all I did during my career.

Formal letter - Waiter job
Dear Ms Harrison,
I recently saw your advertisement in a local newspaper offering a job as waiter at Chilli Pepper Café and I would like to apply for the position.
I have some experience of this kind of work because I have worked as waiter for more than four years. Some years ago, I worked in a local resturant of the town where I live, then I worked in a pub at night serving alcoholic and soft drinks. In addition, I am particularly good at serving customers because I am especially friendly and I am able to speak several languages such as French, German, English and Spanish. Therefore, I think that I would not have any communication problem. Also, people who know me say that I am quite funny and make people feel relaxed when they talked with me.
Apart from my skills, I would like to inform you that I do not mind overworking if I earn these extra hours of work. Would you please ensure us that this will happen? I did not have good experiences in the past.
Could you inform me of your final decision when you make it?
Kind regards,
Rubén

Formal letter - Theater event (complaint)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the problems both my girlfriend and I had in the last musical event. I guess that it is not the first complaint you receive because we knew many people there who was extremely disappointed how the event was organized.
Although the food was great and the quality was superb, I could hear many people talking about how badly-organized the event was
First of all, the event advertisement said that there would be top artists acting. However, the actors who appeared in the advertisement were missing during the whole event. Maybe, it was a mistake or something unexpected happened, but everyone should have been warned about this point.
Another disturbing point of the event was the discounts for young people. When my girlfriend and I arrived to the event, the sales-assistant told us that we could not get a discount because our student card was not valid for this kind of events and just private student cards were valid. So, we had to pay the same as the rest of people. If your advertisement had pointed out this point, we would have decided not to go because the price was too much for us.
I would be grateful if you could explain me what really happened. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Rubén

Essay - Improving people's standard of living or protecting the environment
Nowadays, most people just think about improving their standard of living without thinking anything else. However, it is highly necessary to think about how to protect the environment too.
Having a good work is very important because it is needed to be able to meet with friends or go on holidays. But, if you do not take care of the environment, people will not probably be able to go anywhere because it will not be healthy due to pollution.
On the other hand, everyone deserves having a big house with all facilities as most people work as much as they can. Nevertheless, it is also important to pay attention to the environment at home by recycling rubbish, avoiding noise pollution and using solar panels to have renewable energy.
Lastly, transport is another important point which could make people's life easier. It is true that having an own car is quite convenient, especially if your routine is different every day. However, the government could work on this point as well as thinking about the environment by providing citizens with a good organization of public transport.
In conclusion, I think that it is possible to improve people's standard of living and protecting the environment at the same time. No matter how better you life is, if the environment is poor.

Report - Changes on a school facility
Introduction
The aim of this report is to analyze the current situation of a school facility and to suggest improvements on it.
The facility
Many students spend a lot of time in the library, but the current situation of this place is quite awful and it is necessary to suggest what points could be easily improved without investing a lot of money.
Books
Now, at the library, there are thousands of old books which people do not use because they are about to break down or they are out-of-date. Therefore, it is necessary to check out the list of most unused books we have at the library and look for a new edition on the Internet or just remove them.
Organization
Apart from the book conditions, the books are badly-organised because there are not enough space. So, buying new shelves could be a good option in order to prevent people from wasting their time by looking for a book in the whole library.
Staff
In addition, the staff is another point to be checked out. There are many things to do at the library and there are just two assistants. It may be interesting to look at if it is possible to hire some students economically.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would recommend to follow at least these recommendations because I'm sure that people will be happy by then.
