WRITING: A LETTER: EXPLAINING A PROBLEM

I've had a problem recently. I want to go out at night and my parents say that at 9.30 I must be in my house. They are too strict because they think that I'm young, but I'm to older to return at house more later.
I'm angry because they don't want to talk about this. I think that they should be more tolerant about my life. They are always trying to protect me. But maybe I shouldn't be angry. I usually shout at them when I'm angry and it's possible that for that reason they sometimes don't trust me.
I'd really like some advice because if I don't do something soon, we'll probably have a big argument.

UNIT 2

WRITING: AN E-MAIL
Hi Marc, I enjoyed chatting to you last day in the chatroom. In the chartroom you asked me to tell you about what I enjoy doing in my spare time. So, here it goes! I'm really interested in computer games and I likes so much multiplayer games. I usually play with my friends on-line in Call of Duty because they really love the game. I enjoy listening to rock music. My favourite group is Ska-p but I never go to see thir concerts and I never bought one CD of them. I download their music using Ares. I know that this is illegal, but it's free. I also like sports, and I prefer basketball. I play with C.B. Banyoles. I played a match last Saturday and we won. I'm looking forward to play the next match with St Feliu de Guixols. They have good players, and it's possible that we win. Thats is all for now. If you want to know anything else, let me know! Please send me an e-mail and tell me about your interest. Yours faithfully Albert

UNIT
In this unit we work the past simple and past continuous sentences. Like we try to study while our neighbours were having a party. The nois was terrible and they didn't stop all night. Also we know new phrasals verbs and we learn new vocabulary. I think that this unit is great.

The exam of Maths and English went very well. I think that of maths I'll get an 8 and of English a 9. These days Anna Vilar say me if I want to participate in a competition.

The next week we are going to travel to Barcelona the Monday and Thuesday, it will be great.

It's Wednesday and we arrive to Banyoles from Barcelona yesterday. We travel with TEISA, and we slept in an Alberg. The things that we saw were so beautiful.

SIENNA

When we arrived in Sienna we thank that it will be boring but it was not true. The hotel was great because it has balcony and the beds were so good. The only thing bad was that it hasn't got TV. After leaving the bags, we went out to start visiting the city. We started by the square it was brilliant because it was night and thence we could see the night lights of the city. Then we went to the cathedral. We only saw it for outside but it was great. We went to a restaurant like MCDonalds and we ate pasta with hamburger. We ate very well. After dinner we went to a bar and we were able to see F.C. Barcelona. All the trip after this night people were aphonic. Then we went to sleep about one or two o'clock. In the morning we saw the same square but it was shining the sun. We could see the inside of the cathedral. It was incredible. There were a lot of details, it was beautiful and incredible thought that this was build 600 years ago. In general the trip was very funny and it was an experience unforgettable for all the members of the class.

UNIT 1

WRITING: GIVING AN OPINION
Most people do exams an dget more than a 5 to pass the course? In my opinion, I think that we must do exams. An exam it's a proof to menostrate what we know. We must study to pass the exams.
I agree to do exams, but I think that it'll count the attitude and the progress in the subject and I feel that this isn't enough to valuate the pupil. An exam is easy and fast to correct and it can evaluate all the thing that have been worked in class, so it's a good method.
Secondly, it's oblivious that we cannot punctuate the pupil only with the criterion of the teacher, we need a lot of professionals in small groups. And I really think that there aren't a lot of teachers qualified to do this work. Man y teachers only know how to correct an exam and when they are explaining the lesson, they only read the book.
In conclusion, I think that exams are positive if they are created and used with criteria. It can be easy for the people who aren't enough intelligent and more difficult for the people who have a lot of capacity. And obliviously we need a method to punctuate the mark, don't we? This is the best of all.

UNIT
These unit talks about a lot of things. First there's a reading that talk about the security on the Internet and the people who protect us. There are gramatical, in concrete the order of the sentences: subject+verb+object+manner (how)+place (where)+time (when). Also we practice the formal verbls, of the stative verbs. Stative verbs are verbs which we use in the present simple, even if they are happenin now.
