Dear Mrs Julia Brown,

I am writing to complain about a digital clock radio which I bought last weekend for my mother because it is useful, portable and cheap. The trouble is it can only receive two radio stations and it is impossible to switch off the light, it is always on, but the worst is that the alarm clock does not work well. If I may switch on the alarm, the alarm will not sound although I will have turned up the volume.

When I tried to return the faulty digital clock radio to Designer Electronics, the shop assistant told me he was not the reponsible for these special offers and he does not want to replace it.

I would like you could let me have a refund but I will accept a replacement if it is impossible. I am going to enclose the receipt with this letter. You can contact me if you need any more information.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Sílvia Colom

Dear Sophie,

I'm having a fantastic time because today it's 1st May.

On 1st May people don't work here because it's "the worker's Day" and everyone is happy for it.

In Olot, every year there are many shops in street. The shops are in the morning, and now I'm shopping with my friends.

My family and I always get together to have lunch at my grandmother's house. She usually shares out the food and after all the rest clear up the mess at the end.

In the afternoon, I sometimes watch a film but I think today my friends and I will watch an interesting football match.

Why don't you visit us next time? You'd like it!

Write to me soon,

Sylvia

Treasure Island

In this course I read TREASURE ISLAND by Robert Louis Stevenson.

The story is an adventure novel about some good people and pirates who want a treasure.

Jim Hawkins, the protagonist, found the treasure's map and decided with his friends to look for it. But when they created the crew, they didn't know that some pirates were in the crew for catch the treasure, too.

They look for a treasure and they have a lot of fights with pirates.

Els Pets

In our english classes, Carla, Eva and I chose the group Els Pets for do the presentation.

This is our work about els pets:



PRESENTATION

We are going to explained more things about Catalan group called Els Pets.
We chose this group because we like their lyrics and it is a popular group in Catalonia.
Els Pets is a Catalan pop rock band with Lluís Gavaldà the lead singer, composer and guitarist, Joan Reig the drumer and Falin Cáceres plays the bass.
This group is from the village of Constantí (Tarragona) and it was formed in 1985. In their origens they began to play for his region. His style was called Agricultural Rock, as a group that was played in towns and it wasn’t from the city.
In 1991 they took part in the macroconcert of Palau Sant Jordi with Sopa de Cabra, Sau and Sangtraït. Since this concert they have become more famous for everywhere of Catalonia.


EXPERIENCES

In 1989 they recorded their first album, but they weren’t popular until they removed the disc Bondia which sold more than 85.000 CDs.
Els Pets has 12 albums, for exemple the most knews: Agost, Vine a la festa and Bondia. They colaborated with others groups, macroconcerts and with TV3 programmes, too.
The last CD which they recorded is “Com anar al cel i tornar”.
They have different prizes, like Enderrock prizes for the best singer, the best song, the best group, the best concert… and the prize “Éxits d’or”.




PERSONAL OPINION

We think their music can be funny, sad, extraordinary, cheerful, peacefull, lively, pensative, relaxing,moved, reflexive… very variable.
We belive their lives aren’t very quiet because they should be pending for the fans, the concerts and take off time to be with his family to do things with the group.
We know these group but we are very surprised about all prizes they won and their exits. We don’t know that they have 12 albums although we had listened many of his songs, and we like it.

Here, there is a link of one of their songs: agost.

OLOT - NY

New York City is bigger than Olot, like an elephant is bigger than an ant.
Olot has got a lot of volcanoes and mountains but few and small skyscrapers and important buildings. In my city, also, there are a lot of farmhouses and fields.
There are small shops in the center of the city, but not a lot, fewer than all the shops that has got only one important street in New York.
We haven’t got any airport, nor undergrounds, nor trains, etc. But, of course, we have some buses, cars, bicycles… New York City is more modern than my city.
The highest building here is like the smallest building of New York. It’s lower than any volcano or important mountain.
In our city, we are 32.903 people. In your city, there are more than eight millions of habitants and New York City is larger than Olot, too.
Our street’s names aren’t numbers; they often have the names of famous people or big cities.

I love New York but I also like Olot, although they are totally different.
