It is not important to follow the news

News is the daily life of society because they are the facts and events that happen in the world. The news helps us learn about the world around us. Personally, I think it is very important to know the news of the day in the world.

Firstly, I think the news will help us to be wise and know more about the situations around us. Moreover, thanks to the news we can watch what is happening in different places and towns of the world and especially in our country lively.

Secondly, the news show us and make us aware of the great problems which take place in  different areas, such as children suffering from hunger in Africa, poverty, drought, natural disasters, etc. Therefore, knowing the situation of each country in the world, everybody should be good people and try to solve them.

In conclusion, I am convinced that the news are important for people in our society. In my opinion, thanks to the news we have many skills that would not have without them.

What do you think is the best way to learn language?

The best way to learn a language is to start when we are children but it is not easy.

Firstly, boys and girls have to go to nursery since they are one years old and then to school. There they will begin to learn phonemes and vocabulary. And then they will learn a correct grammar slowly.

Secondly, another way to learn language is going abroad and visit other countries. There people can practise the language and they won’t have any problems communications.

In conclusion, I think that humans should receive the basic notions about their language at the first ages of life because language is the key to people identity so they have to study basic vocabulary and grammatical forms.

A dialogue

Wendy  Marx, what are you doing here?
Max  Hi Wendy! I’m here for business. Why?
Wendy  Ah! OK. But, who is this girl?
Max  She’s a workmate. Why? What’s the matter?
Wendy  Umm… I’m surprised to see you here.
Max  And you, what are you doing here?
Wendy  I’m in the café with Janine to explain her that things are strange between us recently.
Max  That’s not the place to speak about it.
Wendy  So let’s meet at my home tonight.

(At night at Wendy’s house)

Wendy  Are you flirting with another girl?
Max  No, I wouldn’t cheat on anyone.
Wendy  I think you are dating a girl.
Max  No, we are a perfect couple. I was strange because I wanted to prepare a surprise for you birthday.
Wendy  I’m sorry, I have been stupid. I don’t know why I haven’t trusted you.
Max  Don’t be worried. It’s my fault because I haven’t behaved correctly.
Wendy  Fine, all things are clear.

Discuss the effects of climate change in your country. Do you think measures should be taken to stop or at least slow down its effects on the planet?

The effects of the climate change in my country are known not only by citizens but also by government but what we are doing to avoid the climate change is not enough.

Firstly, the increase of the temperature destroys animal habitats and there are many endangered species which need protection to survive, for example, the wolf. They don’t find enough food to feed themselves.

Secondly, other effect that causes climate change is floods which destroy different land areas.  There are big storms which provoke the increase of the level in the rivers but it is more frequent coastal flooding because of sea level rise too . People also suffer from glacial retreat in mountainous areas and this is the reason snow cover is reduced and consequently the winter tourism. And finally great crop productivity has been destroyed recently.

I think that people should protect the forests and woods and everybody should avoid the pollution to control the climate change.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the food you served in your restaurant. It was my birthday and I invited my family to have dinner in your restaurant.

I chose an expensive menu and the waiter began to serve the courses. At first, everything seemed to taste good. However, after five minutes, my mother shouted. She had just found a fly in the soup. This caused me considerable embarrassment.    

I would be grateful if you could pay the bill.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

Vera

Digital camera Department1
Express Accessories
30 New York Street
London W8 6RF

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to explain that on January 25th I bought a digital camera in the website of Express Accessories. I received the digital camera at home five days later but when I opened the box was completely broken.

I would like to express my dissatisfaction about the product, because in the website it was said clearly that the sale products were of high quality. However, in the website there was an address where you can send any complaint. And I have used this address to send this one.

I received no apology and I was not offered a refund but it was clearly to see that the box was broken. I called your costumer services department in order to discuss the situation. However, I did not clarify anything. This caused me considerable embarrassment because the digital camera should be a present for my boyfriend. Now I ask you, to receive a new digital camera as soon as possible.

I would be grateful if you could look into this matter urgently.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,

Vera
