Where are the mistakes? 😂 Writing Task 1 You want to apply to become a volunteer with a local charity which organises events for children who stay at home during the summer holidays. Write a letter to the charity, explaining why you are the right person to volunteer for them. To whom it may concern, I am writing you in order to apply as volunteer with your local charity. I think that it is very important organise events for children who stay at home during the summer holidays. In fact, the summer holidays could be an occasion for children to improve some skills which they do not learn at school. I am attending my last year of University and I would love helping you when I will have finished my exams. I think to be the perfect candidate for this role. Firstly, when I were child, I had participated at many summer-holidays-events. My parents have been working a lot in summer, this is the reason why my brother and I took part at every event organised by our local charity. So, I know exactly what children would like to do on those type of events. I could help you to create great events with creative ideas. For example, I think that a good idea could be organize a sport-event in order to teach to child different sports. We could use the local stadium and organise football, rugby and volleyball’s matches. In this way children could learn a little bit of every sport and then they will be able to choose the best-one. I look toward to work with you, Kind regards, Matteo.

Ciao, Matteo! Vedi che ti piace molto scrivere, e sono sicuro che questo ti ha aiutato a scrivere così bene! Credo di dover fare così in italiano haha Ti copio il tuo articolo colle mie modificazioni suggerite in maiuscola. Sei bravissimo, e hai fatto molto bene! Fammi sapere se hai domande. “Mens sana in corpore sano” said the ROMANS. It means that if you are PHYSICALLY HEALTHY, you will be MENTALLY HEALTHY. Physical activities are very important for people and moreover for young people. There are many advantages of physical esercisce. Firstly, physical exercise improves your health. RESEARCH SAYS that having much exercise is the best cure against the illness. It helps you in both physical and mental health. Secondly, physical exercise is a strong weapon against stress. If you do not believe IT, just try! When you are stressed dress up your jumpsuit and take a run. After running, you will SURELY be more relaxed. Thirdly, team sports help you to interact with other people. A lot of good friendships are born from sport teams. Furthemore you do not have to forget how sport is important to increase your competitive spirit. In conclusion, I think that having physical exercise since youth is very valuable. There are a lot of benefits: save your health, defeat the stress, help to create new friendships. I suggest to everyone to have physical exercise right now.

Hey Matteo! Nice work, again. This one is even better than the last! I have copied your email below, where you will find my corrections in uppercase letters (maiuscola). Please let me know if you have any questions, which I would be happy to answer in English or Italian. Dear professor, I am writing to you in order to recommenD what our class could do to celebrate the end of the school year. Obviously, I understand that we can not organise a big party, but I was reckoning that IT could be a great idea to organise a sort of “group-event”. One of my ideas is a clasS lunch. We could book the new sushi restaurant IN the centre of the city. It is said that it is a very cool place, and they make A particular type of sushi. At the end of the lunch, we could go to the beach. We love the beach but, because of the homework, we could not go there during the year. Hence, a trip to the beach would be appreciated by all of us. Before we go home, we must take a class picture and, the next year, we will hang it on the wall of the class. Let me know if you like my ideas and when you are available to celebrate with us. I look toward to celebrating together, Matteo
