4-PLANS FOR A VISIT
HI. Àlex!
How are you? I'm writing this because I want to explain you my plan for holiday with my class.
We're going to travel in Germany ( Berlin ) on Saturday 28th of August by plane. We're leaving at 9 a.m. and return at about 6 p.m. We looked at the weather on the internet.
-it's going to be really hot and sunny- so I'm going to takes money and sunglasses.
Berlin has got a lot of interesting places to visit. There's a “porta de Brandenburger”, Berlín wall, museums and another places.
I hope you can answer me and explain me your plans about this holiday.

3-Write about a history of a product
In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's bookkeeper Frank Robinson.
Until the 1960s, both small town and big city dwellers enjoyed carbonated beverages at the local soda fountain or ice cream saloon. Often housed in the drug store, the soda fountain counter served as a meeting place for people of all ages. Often combined with lunch counters, the soda fountain declined in popularity as commercial ice cream, bottled soft drinks, and fast food restaurants became popular.

5-ABOUT ME AND MY VIEW OF THE WORLD
The most important for me in my life is the music and skiing. I've been practising both hobbies since I was three or four years old and I love it! Some of my friends are interested in music too, but they play different instruments than mine, the piano. The thing which I like best is going to sleepover at friends house or meet with my best friends.
People don' think that the world is a bad place, although we have to take care of it. We don't have to waste water, we have to be careful with the enviroment for the global warming, so we must recycle all always we can. The things that annoy me are the stubborn people, when my brother makes me angry with his jokes and I don't like that people make another face that they are.
In this moment I'm worried about a lot of things and happenings that will happen in the future, like cancer. I hope and I wish that one day can be a illness which will have cure,
I find a bit frightening that problems don't be solved. Really, I don't see myself with clarity in the future, because I don't know what I will do or work with. But I'm sure that the job which I'll chose, will be something which I will help people. Also, I see myself travelling and doing things everywhere.
