In conclusion, heis the best person that I have even known and I amb completely sure that all the people who know him think the same as me.

A Narrative Essay by Raquel Palau

Many times, when stress or sadness are inside ourselves, we feel like we should break out of the world, just to forget about that things that make us unhappy and don't allow us to smile. And in momnets when I don't feel like anything except escape of all, I imagine where I would like to be instead of the present moment.

Sometimes I wish I travelled around the world, visiting cities that would make me dream in real world. I could say Paris, Rome, London, Tokio, New York, San Francisco, Rio. I wouldn't mind exploring Paris or London again, as they are simply amazing. But if I had to choose one of the most important buildings of them, that would be for sure the Eiffel Tower and the London Eye. The views when you reach the top of them, from where you are able to see a piece of the city, ara speechless. Other places that I would like to be could be the Colisseum, the Tower of Tokio or Central Park. I have no doubt that I'll be really keen on them, as when you reach that thing you have been wishing for, you really enjoy the moment.

Even if I can't break out when I want and where I want, for certain I will visit that dreamful places which have got me lost lots of time in my thoughts, transporting me in those places which I have dreamed about.

A Narrative Essay by Raquel Palau

Three years ago, I went on a one-week trip in London with my English classmates. That's a city which I'd always wanted to visit, and if we add the fact that I had never been abroad before that, I must confess that I was really excited.

On the first day before leaving the main airport of Barcelona and the country for a week, I was terribly nervous. It was my first time in a plane! But when I realised, we were flying in the sky. It was pitch black outside, as the flight was delayed, but the views we got from a lit London at night were absolutely fantastic.

We visited the main place there, such as the Big Ben or the London Eye. They were more impressive than I thought: they were so different from seeing them on TV or in a photo that I was thrilled. We took photos of everything, including street artists. One thing I must tell is that we went on a trip by the time that the Prince of United Kingdom, William, and his partner, Kate Middleton, were near their wedding. In about two weeks over then, they tied the knot. Another thing to explain is that a group of classmates got lost one day while we were going to a Museum by train. Finally, the teachers found us, but they were really angry!

In conclusion, I must say that I wouldn't mind to repeat the trip, even though when I got home I was completely exhausted. But the emotions and the memories of that trip will be unforgettable, for sure!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the service I received in your restaurant the last 21st February.

Fistly, I would like to express my disappointment with the quality of the food, since the beef was overcooked and it was not really tasty. Furthermore, the waiter did not carry the bithday cake I bought for dessert saying that it wasnot allowed to serve food from others.

Secondly, there was insufficient space in the table for everyone who came to the dinner, which caused me terrible embarrasement. Moreover, the music was very loud and people could not hear each other while they were chatting.

In light of the above, I would be grateful if you could take into consideration all these suggestions in order to imporve the service in your restaurant. I would also like a full refuns of the price of the dinner.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Laura Giribet

A Narrative Essay by Laura Giribet

When I was six years old, my family and I went on holiday to Deltebre. I had never been on holiday before, so I felt very nervous about it.

We set off early in the morning as it took several hours to get there. I remember clearly we got lost twice and, because of that, we had lunch in a small hidden restaurant where they cooked fantastic food. After that, we continued our journey. The following day, we went to a beach nearby our hotel. It was the most quiet and relaxing place I've ever been to. I had a really good time there since I could swim, sunbathe, play with the sand and collect some shells.

Definitely, those were the most exciting days of my life. It was such a thrilling experience and I'm sure I'll never forget it.

For and against essay by Edgar Benet

Advantatges and disadvantatges of using a bike as a means of transport

There’re so many people that tend to go cycling so as to train. However, bikes are less used as a mean of transport.

First of all, when you travel either by car, train or bus, you pollute whereas riding a bike is absolutely eco-friendly. Moreover, it’s so much cheaper since you don’t have to pay any ticket or fuel. You only have to do some exercise which is actually a way of improving your fitness.

On the other hand, it isn’t suitable to get tired wearing a suite and to have an important meeting afterwards. Nevertheless, if you travel a short distance in a city it’s much faster.

To sum up, using a bike it’s a good for the environment and for our health. While there’re a lot of people aware of this fact, the more we keep using it, the better.

Story by Edgar Benet

When I was 15 I travelled alone to England. I had been before to other foreign countries although I had always been with my parents.

In fact I was only on my own in the plane as a couple was waiting for me at the arrivals hall.

There were such nice people who have been good friends for ages. However, those days we had the chance to become closer, the more we talked the better we got on. We went sightseeing along the Manchester’s out skills, we went camping and we walked a lot around the quiet surroundings of the village they live in. Meanwhile the most fascinating experience was to have an English lifestyle.

I enjoyed a lot those days and either they did. And despite coming there back again, that first trip was the most exhilarating so far.
