Depois a festa continua, não falta diversão, com bailaricos, vinho ou cerveja e carne assada. À noite, as pessoas fazem fogueiras e comem e bebem em torno de fogueira, que proporciona uns momentos inesquecíveis. Conta a lenda que, deves escrever em um papel três desejos, depois deves arrojar-o ao fogo e saltar per em cima da fogueira se queres que os desejos cumprem-se.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SMARTPHONES Many people today don't just have a mobile phone, they have a smartphone like an iPhone or a Blackberry. But is it a great invention? I think there are both advantages and disadvantages. The first advantage is that the people can have information in anywhere. Secondly, you are always in touch with your family and friends. Thirdly, you will never get lost because you can see on the GPS where you should follow. But on the other hand, there are also disadvantages. For example, there are people who can not live without smartphone, they are addicted to it. Also, when the family or friends are together, everyone is with their smartphones, they do not spend time talking to each other and do not spend time doing more creative things like reading or painting. In conlusion, although living without smartphones has advantages, I think today it is unrealistic and that we should just try to turn the smartphone off when we meet with the family or friends.

A LETTER OF COMPLAINT. Head of departament Customer Service Street Serrano,908 Madrid Dear Sir/Madam: Last Wednesday, 28 April, I ordered a dress from your online store (order reference 123#). Before placing the order I read the conditions carefully and I would try it on and it does not fit me I could change it. Moreover, your websait says that the item are delivered in 48 hours. The dress came after a week. However, I noticed that payment had been taken from my credit card a day after ordering. When I try it on, it does not suit me, so I phoned your customer service line, and the person that I spoke to, was rude and hunhelpful. She said that the item could not change. I was furious because I saw in you website that I could do it. I have bought many things from you over the years and I have always good service. I am sure you will be able to resolve the situation in a satisfactory way. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully. Lidia.

DESCRIBING A FLAT It's a flat perfectly situated in the heart of Madrid. It's a cosy 120-square- metre flat on the first floor of a ne building without a liff, but it isn't neccessary becasuse I only go up three steps. It has three bedrooms, a spacious living room with a balcony, a well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms and an ideal library. There's a spectacular view of the river from the windows. The living room has a two big tables, which are ideal for having a meal with friends, and there is also a large TV. The neighbourhood is lovely, the people is very kind, it isn't much luxurious, but is a lively with plenty of shops and cafés. It's five minutes away from a subway station and the Madrid's main shopping street. The flat is suitable for a family with childrens who would like to live in the center. If I were you, I would want to live here.

THREE METERS ABOVE THE SKY The film is based on the book by Federico Moccia. The film was directed by Fernando González. It starts Mario Casas and María Valverde. The film won three awards, tho of them for best actor and other best film. The film is set in Barcelona in the 2010. It was filmed on location in Madrid and in Barcelona. The film is about the love history of the lead actors, called Hugo and Babi. Hugo is a very agressive boy, his presence incites rejection from others, he has been fighting so survival all his life. On the contrary, the family's Babi is rich, she is very inocent and she always does that their parents said her. They meet when Hugo and his friend go into house of Babi to steal. but Hugo and Babi fell in love from the first moment they were together. Love at fist sight! At the beginning of the relationship everything were easy, but when the parents's Babi knew about the relationship of her, they aren't in agreement, because Hugo isn't who they will expect. They try to break up to relationship. I strongly recommended Three meters above the sky. It has action, drama, an unforgettable soundtrack and important message: that violence never really solves anything. The sequel I desire you is also good, but the first film is definitely my favourite.

TRIP TO ITALY I was living in Italia for a year. I was studying at the University of Bologna. When my mum and my brother went to visit me, I had lived there six months. I took long time withouth seeing therm. I went to pick up them. I was wishing that they arrived. When I saw them, I was really happy, we hugged. It was an incredible moment. The we went back at home. I introduced them to my flatmates, but they don't speak Italian so the communication there was difficult for them. A few days later, we went to Florence, a city very nice. We are staying in a hotel for a week. We went to museums, to walk for his streets, to eat at restaurantes... We also saw the artwork called 'David' created by Miguel Ángel. My mum told us it was very antique. I have never seen other artwork like this, it's incredible. Food's Florence is the best in Italy. You should go to Florence. I would love to go back to Florence one day. If I had lived lots time in Italy, we would have gone places. I always really enjoy me when I travell with my family and I don't remember anything bad about my trips.

RECLAMAÇÃO O passado dia dezasseis do Abril, o meu namorado e eu fomos ao seu restaurante. Nós pedimos um bife de vaca com batatas fritas e legumes salteados. O tratamento do seu empregado de mesa, chamado João, connosco foi otimo. Mas depois de esperar mais de quarenta minutos, trazem-nos um bife de porco, duro, com batatas fritas frias e sem legumes. E ainda, o pior de tudo, queando pedimos a conta trazem-nos um preço mais leevado do que aquele que estava assinalado na lista. Entanto o seo empregado tentou sempre ser simpático, apesar de não resolver o nosso problema com a conta. Acho que devem mudar algumas ideias para conseguir que o seo negócio poda funcionar.

O SISTEMA DE SAÚDE O nosso sistema de saúdena Espanha é bom mas acho que podia ser muito melhor. Só necessitamos uma maior organização da que existe agora. Actualmente temos todo o que necessitamos: uns médicos muito profissionais, o material e os tratamentos sao melhores cada dia, a tecnologia avança rapidamente... Entanto, a população espanhola não é contenta com os resultados dela sanidade, já que o passado dia vi num jornal que no ano passado houve mais reclamações do que os anos anteriores. O que é que não funciona? É possível ser por o tratamento que recebem os doentes, é o resultado das pesquisas. Desde aqui faço um chamamento aos médicos e ao pessoal do sistema sanitário porque deverem ser mais amáveis e carinhosos com os doentes. Mas também tenho de dizer que os doentes as vezes somos um pouco irritáveis, e temos de pôrmos no lugar dos profissionais.
