The Community Fund
16 Suffolk Street
London
SW144NL

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to enquire about lottery funds for a community project in our town.
Banyoles is a town in the north of spain. There are a lot of interesting places in and around the town. There are a lot of new residential areas, but there are, too, a lot of people who haven't got a home. For that reason, we would like to build a centre for the people who have not got house, family or food. This centre could make Banyoles a better town.
I would be grateful if you send me information about lottery grants. If you have any questions about our project, please do not hesitate contact me.

Yours faithfully,
Gemma Riera

Gemma Riera,

HOW TO GET ON WITH YOUR PARENTS

1.If I was late, my parents will be angry.
2.If I insulted them, they would be disappointed.
3.If I invited them to the cinema, they will be very happy.
4.If they listened more to me, we will understand each other.
5.If I shouted at them, they would punish me.
6.If I didn't listen at them, they would shout more.
7.If my room wasn't tidy, they would close me in my room.
8.If I talked to them about when they were young, they would listen and comprehend me.
9.If I explained how I feel, they would listen to me.

A LETTER: EXPLAINING A PROBLEM

B. You think that your parents are too strict because you have to be at home before 9.30 p.m. at the weekend. You have talked to them about it, but they won't change the rule.

I've had a problem recently I think my parents are too strict and I'm not agree on some of their rules. They say that I must be at home before 9.30 p.m. at the weekend.
I'm worried because I'm sick to argue with them and I'm angry because I think that they can change some of their strict rules but the problem is that they don't want to do it. I think the best solution is that we talk about it and we find the correct hour for the both. But maybe there can be another one. But I think it is the worst. There's the possibility that my parents don't want to listen to me and they do everything they want with the rules.
I'd really like some advice because I'm not sure about my ideal solution. There may exist another possibility. Probably, somebody with another viewpoint can give me some different solutions.

A DISCUSSION ESSAY

“The Internet is a better invention than books. Discuss.”

The Internet has became important in the last fifteen years. In my opinion, I think it's very important. With out Internet, we're nobody. We need Internet everyday. But I think that it isn't the best invention ever made. Before it was invented, people used to play with people and communicate more with each other face to face. But to search information about something was more difficult than today. Now, the people can talk using Internet, we can search information about everything. And with it, it isn't necessarily to go out in all the day.

Books, on the other hand, have some advantages, opposite to internet. One advantage is that when you read a book, you can imagine all the story. The disadvantage is that you have to spend a lot of time reading a book. The Internet, however, have other advantages, too. The advantatges of the Internet are that it's so fast and if you have some question of something, you can have the answer inmediately. The disadvantages are that it's destroing the musicians' companies becouse every body downloud the songs by internet.

All in all, I think that is better the Internet because it makes everything easier. But I don't think the Internet is the best invention ever made. And it was so difficult to create. I believe technology will create more things like it. Then our world will be better.
