Description of a place:

To descrive a place you need lots of adjectives and comparations. Nouns are also very important in the description, and the best way to improve your descriptions is to imagine that you are in the place you are descriving, and to think about how do you feel or what you can see there.

Important adjetives you can use to descrive places: attractive, interesting, peaceful, fun, clean...
It's also important to use some feelings to explain the emotions that this place produces to you.

The distribution of the information is easy: in the paragraph 1 you should explain the situation of the place and to express your opinion about it; in the paragraph 2, the intention is to descrive the place in a general way using some adjectives; in the paragraph 3 you must descrive the details of the place; and it the paragraph 4 you have to make a conclusion explaining which is the best thing of the place.

Biography:

To explain the life of one person it's important to start from the birth, continue with the most important things he has done during live and to finish with his death or his present if he is still alive. It could be interesting to make a biography of someone you know well.

There must be some adjectives as famous, popular or intelligent in a biography., and it should include some of the conectors you can use : at first, firstly, secondly, after, then, finally, in the end...
The structure is simple: in the paragraph 1 you should talk about the birth ( the place where it was, when it was...) and about why may we have heard about him. In the paragraph 2 it's important to tell the most important things and actions that he has done during life, to talk about his health, family... Finally, in the last paragraph you have to make a conclusion explaining the end of the life of the person and why is he famous.

First new: Volcanic ash cloud forces postponement of Japan MotoGP

As you should know last wednesday 14th of April the Icelandic volcanic eruption created a very big cloud of volcanic ash which extended very fast in the main part of Europe and Asia. Because of that the organization of the Moto GP of Motegi, in Japan, decided to postpone the Grand prix because the cloud has made that the main part of the flights in Europe become cancelled. This makes very difficult to carry the material and the personal of the teams to Motegi and this GP will celebrate before the GP of Malaysia.

In my opinio
n the decision of the manager of the airlines to decide to cancell the main part of the flights in Europe only for this cloud maybe is too exorbitant. I mean some airline companies decided to do some testing flights to evaluate the conditions of the atmosphere because of the cloud, and they said that it wasn't dangerous to fly. But I also have to say that it's a very big responsibility to make this decision because the lives of lots of people depend on you. I guess that the posture of the manager is responsible and far-sighted.

Composition


Dear mum and dad,

since I arrived here I've realized what life is like here, I mean it's different from Spain. Here water is very scarce and there isn't enough food for everybody. Cameroon is one of the poorest countries in Africa, and when I left Spain I knew it, but now I feel surprised anyway.


You don't need to worry because I'm eating good and I am healthy. I uderstand it sounds strange, but the organization where I'm helping feed us very well. Some time ago I thought that it would be difficult to find out any house to sleep, but people here are so polite and they share with you all they can.




Well mum, I've writen to you only to tell you I'm feeling well and that I'm enjoying this experience in the way I can. I'm learning lots of things about survival. I hope you are fine there and I think I'll be able to visit you this summer.



Your loving son,


Nil

Easter holidays

Easter holidays are one of the best we have. I mean, to have some days to stop of studding and to relax after the second term which is the longest, is very grateful. During this week I have slept so much and I have done my homework. I have used these days to go out with my friends because the next term will be very short and we won't have any time to go out.

The last weekend of these holidays I went to Banyoles because there was a horse-ball championship and I wanted to watch it and to meet my friends. The championship was international but they only played girls. The weather was a little bit strange because some days rained and some days were very hot, but the championship advanced well.


Well I have enjoyed these holidays without school in a big way but now I have to return to school to finish this course. This course it's moving so fast and there's a little bit more than a month missing so I need to make a last effort.
