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.
