Dear Pat,
I'm so sorry but... Do you remember your black sunglasses? I lose them yesterday. I don't know what to say because it's very embarrasing for me...
I think I forgot them at the bus station, but I'm keen to buy you another ones: same brand, same style...
Best wishes,
María.

W-P3 PET
Dear Peter,
You're such a lucky boy! Your grandmother must be a generous woman. I think you could do a lot of interesting things with this money. To tell the truth, I may not buy a camera because you've got a very good mobile phone, and you can already take spectacular photos... So, do you really need a camera? I don't think so.
To be honest, I don't have enough money to do what I want, but if I were you, I spent all this precious money travelling to a new and different country...
I'm sure that if you finally organize a good travel, you could convince your parents without any effort!
Good luck!
María.

Writing 8 - Tim felt angry as he got off the train...
The next day was his mother's birthday and it was the last train on this dark and foggy day.
Tim had bought a disc for his mother because she loved music, in particular old songs. He had bought her a disc of a famous singer. His mother's favorite singer was Elvis Presley therefore he had tried to buy something similar... even though he didn't know a lot of old music, he wanted to surprise her.
However, it was impossible now, because he had lost the last train. After leaving the station he went home and bitterly cried. When he finished, he took the phone and phoned his mother, unfortunately she didn't answer his call.

Writing 6 - the most important day of my life
My little sister was born on the thirteenth of September two thousand and two. I am sure that this was the most important day of my life. Her name is Sara and now she is thirteen.
I remember that day like it was yesterday… It was a warm day of summer. In the right time she arrived I was in my aunt’s house with my older sister, Gema, and our dog Toby. At the time Gema was twelve years old and I was only eight. Even though we were obviously very nervous, we waited patiently.
We were watching tv when suddenly the phone rang. It was the call we were waiting for. ‘She is here!’ we clearly listened.

Writing 5 - to continue an imaginary story
"It was exactly twenty-six to twelve and it was raining heavily. It was a cold and dark night of winter… The last train left at half past eleven, so it was too late... There wasn’t any more train or bus, and he has lost his unique option… ‘What can I do, now?’, he asked himself. Alone, he began to walk without knowing what to do and where to go really.
While he was walking he thought about the argument with his best friend; Peter. Tim was absolutely sure that this discussion was a mistake, a complete foolishness… The last time they meet them, at the most popular disco of the city, Tim told him… "
