Course of english Dear sir or madam, I have seen your advertisement in a board and I want to communicate that I am very interested in taking part in your english course because I would like to improve my english level. Firstly, I wonder when the english course starts and I also wanted to know if this course is available in summer because I would be interested in doing this course in that date. Secondly, if it is possible, I would like to know the experience of the teachers and the course because I have never heard an opinion of this programme of study. Furthermore, I would like to ask you about the price because in your advertisement isn't very clear if I have to pay for the food or if it is included in my price. I also wonder if materials for the course are included in my price. I don't know nothing of Derbyshire, so if you could recommend me the best way to go to Derbyshire from Spain, I would be very glad. Do you think that flying to Manchester and later go to Derbyshire is the easiest and the cheapest way to get there? Furthermore, I would like to know what activities can I do in Derbyshire in my free time. Look forward to hearing to you soon. Faithfully, Mario

Informal email Hi John, Thanks for your email, it was great to hear from you. Sorry for not writing earlier, but I’ve been ill because last month I injured my leg playing football with my friends, so I couldn’t write to you an email because I had to go to Seville to recover completely from the injury. Now, I’m fine and I hope you are well. Good luck with your classes at university and I wonder which degree you are studying. Furthermore, thank you for worrying about my family, they are very well and I hope your family is well too. Nowadays, I am having classes at university too and I am planning to go skiing with my friends to Sierra Nevada this winter, so when I know the date of the travel I will tell you and if you want we can have dinner anywhere in Granada. I also want to tell you that there is a race here the last week of December and we can sign up to run this race together. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Regards, Mario

Email about the pollution Hi Steve, I’m glad to write to you, but what I have to tell you, it is not happy, because there are a problem with the pollution due to the litter in our city. I apologise for writing to you, while you are on holidays out of the city, but I wanted that you knew the situation here. Nowadays, there is an awful situation, because there is a strike and people continue/carry on throwing litter on the ground as if nothing had happened, so the streets are extremely dirty. As solution to this problem, the local government have proposed apply fines around 300 euros for people that throw litter to the streets. They also propose if you can’t pay the fine, you have to/must do service to society cleaning the streets for 20 hours. These solutions hope to serve as an example to change the conscience of all people in the city and the streets come back to be as clean as five ten years ago. See you soon, Mario

NARRATIVE TEXT It is not easy to speak about just one specific music album due to the fact that nowadays it exists such a big quantity of music groups, singers or even dj’s available, that is difficult to choose. Some years ago, it was common to buy a compact disk or a cassette and listen to it so many times that you didn’t want to hear that songs anymore. However, at present, we have our music devices plenty of all kind of music in such a way that we create our own albums, and that’s why choosing one album has become harder. I have tried to think about an important album for me but I can just remember different songs of different artists, so I have chosen an album from Bruno Mars which was recorded four years ago. I really liked some of his songs and when my girlfriend knew that, she gave it to me as a present. Since that day, I used to listen it at the car, travelling by bus or simply meanwhile I was doing my homework at the laptop. One of the reasons why I like it is due to the different music styles and the instruments they use, what makes them sound like no other do. Definitely, Bruno Mars is one of those musicians that make people feel through his music or his performances. His music can make you smile for the whole day or remember a person that you miss, depending on the song you listen, and in my opinion he and his band transmit happiness with his shows.

Text messing Text messaging is a common form of communication nowadays, because young people usually use this way, which has so many abbreviations. I'm going to compare the advantages and disadvantages of text messaging. On the one hand, text messaging is a good form of communication for young people, since most of teenagers understand this type of language, so this way is more comfortable and faster for them. Secondly, text messaging is very positive, but you have to use it in a appropiate situation, because this let us to save a lot of time. On the other hand, old people often don´t understand text speak, so it's so difficult for them to use this way. Text messaging is also negative for students, because they get used to write in a wrong form. In conclusion, text messaging is a kind of communication, which is easier to understand for young people than old people and it is a great way to communicate us if we use it in adecuate situations.

Internet at different ages Internet is the best way to get information about anything. Nowadays is essential in our society, due to the possibility of communicating with anyone anytime and anywhere. Firstly, internet is good at all ages, because it has websites, entretainments and places for everyone, as videogames, social networks, newspaper... Furthermore, today the kids learn very fast and in a little time they are able to use new tecnologies, including internet very well, so the age which kids start to use internet is each and each more soon. On the contrary, internet can be dangerous for kids and young people because they must have enough experience on internet to avoid perjudicial websites or to be cheated for any person. Therefore, the most important is to know your way around on internet. Moreover, old people can have some difficulties to handle new tecnologies, because they have never used nothing similar and it's hard to them. In conclusion, internet can be used by anyone and we should utilise internet, since it will be better to us, in spite of the fact that we must take care of any websites.
