Dear Stephanie

How are you? I'm very well. I came to Dublin two weeks ago to study at a language school. I want to learn English because it is a very important language. I'm staying with an Irish family. They've got two sons and a daughter. Mr Kendall is a teacher and Mrs Kendal works in a hospital. The Irish are very kind, but they speak very guickly! I study in the morning. My teacher's name is Ann. She told me that my English is OK, but I make a lot of mistakles. Ann does't give u too much homework, so in the afternoons I always go sightseeing. Dublin is much bigger than my town. I like painting very much and I'm very iterested in modern art, so I visit galleries and museums. I've met a girl named Martina.She is coming from Spania and goes to Trinity College. Last night we went to the cinema, but the film wasn't very exsiting. Would you like to visit me? Why don't you come for a weekend? I'd love to see you. Write to me soon.

Love, Kati

The Farmer and his sons**

There was once an old, dying farmer who had worked hard in his vineyard all his life.Before he died he wanted to teach his sons how to be good farmers. So he called them to his bedside and said, 'My boys, I have an important secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead. The sons gave their promise as soon as their father had died they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot sun and while they were working they thought about what their father had said.They pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces, and other such things. Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard, but they found not a single penny. They were very upset becouse they felt that all their hard work had been for nothing. However, a few months later the grapes started to appear on the vines. Their grapes were the biggest and the best in the neighbourstood and they sold them for a lot of money. Now the sons understood what their father nad meant by the great treause and they lived happily ever after. The moral of the story is: Hard work brings treasure.

They refused to marry the princes, so the emperor became very angry. Ne said they must get married while they were sixteen years old.

Unit 4 p33; 1 Childhood Some people say that childhood is the best time of your life. However, being a child has both pros and cons. One advantage is that, you have very few responsibilities. For instance, you don't have to go to work, pay bills, or do the shopping, cooking or cleaning. This means you have plenty of free time to do whatever you want - watch TV; play on the computer; go out with friends; plays sports, or pursue other hobbies. Moreover, public transport, cinema, and sports centres cost much more less for children. All things considered, being a child is an exciting, action-packed time in life. However, for every plus there is a minus. One disadvantage is that, you have to spend all day, Monday to Friday, at school. Studying usually means you have to do homework, and you have to take exams. Another point is that, you may have a lot of free time, but you are rarely allowed to do whatever you want. You usually have to ask your parents if you can do things, from going shopping in town to staying out late or going to a praty. Finally, althrough there are often cheaper prices for children, things are still expensive - and parents are not always generous with pocket money. There's never enought to do everything you want. In fact, somethimes there's not enought to do anything at all! In conclusion, although some people see childhood as the best time in life, in my opinion children have no real choice, independence, or money. Neverthless, it is true that choice, money and independence all bring responsibilities and restrictions - which increase with age.

My favorite room

The room in our house I like best is our kitchen. Perhaps the kitchen is the most important room in many houses, but it is particularly so in our house because it's not only where we cook and eat, but it's also the place where family and friends come together. I have so many happy memories of times spend there: ordinary daily events such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter morning for children who are cross and sleepy, before sending them off to school, or special occasions such as homecomings or cooking Christmas dinner. Whenever we have a party, people gravitate with their drings to the kitchen. It always ends up the fullest and noisiest room in the house. So what does this special room look like? It's quite big, but not huge. It's big enought to have a good-sized rectangular table in the centre, wich is the focal point of the room. There is a large window above the sink, looking out onto two trees in the garden. There's a big, old cooking stove at one end, and at the other end a wall with a huge notice board wich tells the story of our lives, past, present, and future: a school photo of the kids; a postcard from Auntie Nancy, whose family have all emigrated seen to Australia; the menu from a take-away Chinese restoraunt; an invitation to a wedding that we're going to next Saturday, a letter from a friend we haven't seen for years. All our world is there for everything to read! The front door is seldom used in the house, only by strangers. All our our friends use the back door witch means they come straight into the kitchen and join in whatever is happening there. The kettle goes on immediately and then we all sit round the table, drinking tea and putting the world to rights. Without doubt some of the happiest times of my life have been spend in our kitchen.

Dear David Benton, I am writing in response to your advertisement in today's Guardian for a journalist based in Geneva. As you will see from the enclosed CV, I studied journalism and modern languages at University College, London, and went on to do a master's in journalism at Queen Mary's College, London. I consider myself the ideal candidate for the job because I have all the relevant experience. In my present job I am in charge of Eastern Europe publications for Intertec Publishing. Before this, I worked for the BBC World Service, at first covering Mexico and Argentina, then Europe. I have traveled widely in South America and Europe. In my present job I frequently go to Japan on business. I speak French, German, and Spanish fluently.

I am an enthusiastic and hard-working person. I am good at organizing people and can meet deadlines. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Yours sincerely, Nancy Mann
