Quotations

Dear Sònia,

you have dedicated this sentence to me: ''The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step'' Lao Tse

and I want to dedicate this one to you: ''No matter how long the way may be, the end will be passing the English exam''

Everyone should live in another country at some stage in their life.

Nowadays, many people are living in countries where they were not born. People often travel for different reasons: not having work, political problems, family...

On the one hand, it is a positive experience living in another place because you learn a new culture, a way of life that maybe similar or different from your country, meet new people, see other places...

On the other hand, some people can hardly get away from people who they love and where they were born and grown. For these reasons, they live in their countries of origin.

I think living in another country is nice because you have a new experience. But when you go to a new country it is like starting from scratch, and also you miss the people that matter to you.

LETTER TO A FRIEND

Dear Marisha

How are you and your family? I hope that all is well! Thanks for your letter. Sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been very busy with my exams, with my drama classes and with my job... Oh yes, I haven't told you that now I'm working in a bakery. It's very entretaining, I like it. My boss is very friendly and generous.

At the moment, I'm thinking that I will come to Georgia this summer to see you and my family. I'm excited about this. Surely, we will have a good time like last year. It will be an unforgetable summer!

My friend Julia and I are going to organize a travel to Tenerife Island. We will stay for a week in a 4 star Hotel with sights to the sea. We'll go to the beach or swim in the pool every day. We'll take a lot of photos so you'll be able to see it on my blog and some day you will be with us together.

Writte soon with your news!
Love, Angela

Ps: See you soon :) !

FRIENDS bloopers

Hi guys!

I share with you a one, but there are more in Youtube.

I hope you like it!

Hi Manolo,
How is life in Canarias? Sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been very busy with work. I've been busy in the morning I go to work, and in the evenings I go to dance classes. I have had very little free time. But now I'm on vacation and have more free time.
My dear friends are planning a dinner dance to distract me a little. And at work I have two weeks vacations. I will travel to the Canaries. So if you think it' okay we ran see each other every day. In one month or two, I'm going to travel to Paris with my work partner. I'll bring you a present from there.
Are you still working? And the family?
All the best,
Alba.

Hi Anna
How's life in Zaragoza? I hope that good. I'm fine, though a little tired, because most days I have exams, it's really stressful and this is also the reason why I haven't written to you, I hope you forgive me for not having written before.
Do you remember the advice that you gave me when I went on vacation to Zaragoza? It has helped me a lot, it has been really helpful, thank you.

I really hope to go back to Zaragoza, I loved the kindness you gave me, and the city is pretty beautiful, I also look forward to the summer holiday, to go to your beach house in Tarragona so that we can go to beach every day, walk around the city and talk.

I hope we see each other soon. Write soon with your news!
All the best,
Carlos

P.S. when you can, you come to visit me, always be prepared ... :D

Dear Alicia,

How are you? I feel perfect. Hope that you feel the same as me.
Sorry I haven’t written for so long, but I’m studying Batxillerato and I have lots of exams.

I’m writing to you to explain that I'm going to go New York. I will be going with my friends at holidays. I will be visiting a lot of places. The first place that we are going to watch is the Statue of Liberty. It's a big historical monument. The second place that we are going to visit is the Time Square; it's the most famous place in New York.
We will meet a lot of people in the hotel. I hope to make many friends and to see them every summer.
When get home I will have learned much English then I will speak to my teacher in English.

Have you ever been in New York?
I will write again soon!

Hello Vladimir

How are you? Thank you for your letter. I think you’ll solve your problem. Forgive me, I haven’t written for a while, because I had a lot of exams, and I was studying.
This week was too crazy. Almost all week I was studying for exams. I thought that I’ll go crazy. My whole head was covered with exams and education. I didn’t have time to speak with you in
Skype. I know that I should study but sometimes I couldn’t resist. I hope that by the end of this week I’ll have received the marks. And how is your life? How are your exams and your personal life?)))
I have a lot of news for you! On the next summer holidays we’ll come back to Ukraine and at last we’ll see each other. And this summer my brother is going to marry. An invitation was sent to us.
Our family is very proud of him. What else? Oh yes! Soon I’ll be celebrating my birthday! Oh, I can’t wait; I want to see all my birthdays gifts. But on the other hand you won’t celebrate it with me ((
All your birthdays and mine, we were always together. And now, I can only see you in internet. I miss you so much.
This Friday we had free lessons, because one half of our class were on excursion. On English we were talking almost about everything. Oh, yes, did you see Avatar? I recommend it to my teacher. Maybe now she is watching it) It’s great and of course I recommend it to you. You won’t regret it. You were asking me about my free time. I’m sure that 70% of my time is taken away by lessons, studying and doing homework. But the other 30% I try to spend it with friends, family or with my girlfriend. On Fridays and Saturdays I gather with boys from my class and we go to play football.
More or less my life has changed here. Of course I miss you and my motherland Ukraine. But here I have a new life and new experiences and I hope that with time we’ll meet each other here in Barcelona and we’ll spend our time together like before.

See you soon
Vladimir

Letter to Lisa

Hi Lisa,
How are you? Fine, Ihope! I was so excited when you sent me a letter. It was great to hear from you! Sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been very busy here. I have a lot of exams, but if I wait until I finish I'll never be able to write you a letter!
You asked me to tell you about my news. Well, I'm studying for my exams at thne moment, which is a bit stressful at times. But I'm only thinking about what I'll do during the Easter holidays. I want to go to Melilla because I guess I'll be very busy this summer and I will not leave: I have to do the research project and I would like to take out my driving license. So, by the end of my summer holidays, I will have been as busy as during the course: I'll not stop for a moment!
What else? Oh yes, within a month it is my birthday and I want to invite you to my party. I hope you come. My friends are going to organize my birthday party, which shoul be pretty cool!
Maybe I can't send you any more letters for a long time because of studies, so I apologize in advance.
Regards,
Nariman.
P.S: Write soon with your news!

Hi Jhoan,
I'm really very glad you'll be visiting me next month, although you are only spending one week in my country. For this reason there's no time to lose. Futhermore, here in Catalonia there are many places to visit.
The two first days we are going to visit the city of Barcelona. I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot, because for me it's one of the most beautiful places of the world. When we are in Barcelona, remind me to and see the monument of Sagrada Familia, It is very special.
We are going to go to Tarragona which is an old roman city. I looked up an apartament in Cambrils, for this reason I think we could go to Port Aventura, an amusement park where we can do all we want.
I'm lookinf forward to seeing you in June, to do all these things that I'm planning

Best wishes,
Albert

P.S. Take comfortable clothes for Port Aventura!

An informal letter

Hi Arantxa,

How are you ? I'm fine. I've got so much to tell you but I'm not going to tell you everything. This weekend has been nice, we have worn three diguises. On Friday we were butterflies, on Saturday we were mimes and on Sunday angels and demons. We went to see a costume contest but we didn't take part because the disguise of the people was better than our disguise, maybe the next year we're going to win =)

In March, probably, I'll be going to London with classmates, I don't know yet.

I miss you, I hope you'll be here this summer. Write soon with your news!

All the best,

Delia

Hi Chris!

What's up? How are you? All well, I hope. I'm well too.

First I need to tell you that I loved your last letter. I laughed a lot, it was so funny. Sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been very bussy with exams and homework. Thay aren't finished yet, but as I don't have exam tomorrow, I found a little moment to write you. I'm so excited because I've passed the exam that I thought I couldn't. I hope you've passed yours exams too.

What are you going to do in your holidays? I don't know yet. I hope I can go outside Barcelona, but I don't think so. Probably, I'll stay at home. Well, I'm going to go to the beach every day. In the mornings, I'm going to watch TV, and later I'm going to do my homework. In the afternoon, I will have finished my homework for that day, and probably I'm going to go to the beach with my sister, my aunts and my little cousins or I'm going to go outside with my friends. I did the same the last summer. I have all planned, but maybe it won't happen that way. I'm almost sure I won't do my homework every day. I'm lazy and more in summer.

I didn't tell you the bad news. My class is organizing a trip to London, but I can't go. Instead of going to the trip, in those days I'll be doing class. It's so sad! In my opinion it's really crap! I wanted to travel to London since I was 10 or 11 yeras old, when my English teacher in the school told my class about this trip to London, I was freaking out. And now I can't go. I'm so disappointed. Looking at the god part, maybe I'll have more free time. I'll write you more, I promise!

I'll leave you soon because I have not finished all my homework yet, and I want to see the Vancouver Olympic Games. I'm really fond of seeing snowboarding competitions and figure skating. This year there is a Spanish man in the figure skating competition, I saw him yesterday. He's really good.

Well I need to go. I hope your exams are well and you have a great break. Write soon, I will be expecting your news!

All the best,
Mireia

PS: You could write in Spanish next time, so you can practise your Spanish too!
