Subject: Hi from Argentina
|
|
Hi Daniel, My name’s Alessandra. It’s an Italian name, because my grandmother was from Italy, but I’m Argentinian and I live in Mendoza, a big city in the west of the country. I live with my parents and my two brothers. I’m 19 and I’m at University. I’m studying computer science. I’m in my first year and I really like it. I’m going to tell you about myself. As you can see from the photo, I have long hair – it’s quite fair – and green eyes. I wear glasses, but I want to get contact lenses soon. I think I’m a positive person. I’m quite extrovert and friendly. My mother says I’m very talkative – I think she means that I talk too much! In my free time I love reading and going to the cinema. But I don’t have much free time because I have classes every day, and a lot of work to do even at weekends. I also go to English classes on Friday afternoon. Please write soon and tell me about you and your life. Best wishes Alessandra

Hi Alessandra, Thanks for your last e-mail. I hope your exams went well. I have some exciting news and I’m writing to ask for your advice. I want to go on holiday to Argentina next year. What do you think is the best month for me to come? I can only come for three weeks, so which places do you think I should visit? Do you think I should hire a car or travel around by bus or train? I’m planning to spend a few days in and around Mendoza, and it would be great if we could meet. Can you recommend a good hotel? Hope to hear from you soon! Best wishes, Daniel

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to ask for information about your language courses. I am especially interested in an intensive course of two or three weeks.

The book I am currently studying is ‘pre-intermediate’ (Common European Framework level A2). I have looked at your website, but there is no information about intensive courses next summer. Could you please send me information about dates and prices? I would also like some information about accommodation. If possible I would like to stay with a family.

|
From: Stephanie To: Claudia Subject: Hi from Scotland |
|
|
Dear Claudia, I hope you`re well. I`ve just had an email from your friend Christelle. She wants to rent a room in my house this summer. Could you tell me a bit about her (age, personality, etc. and what she likes doing) so that I can see if she would fit in with the family? Please be honest! Send my regards to your family and I hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Stephanie |
|
|
From: Claudia To: Stephanie Subject: Hi from Switzerland |
|
|
Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your email. Of course I can tell you about Christelle. She`s 21 and she is studying law with me. I think she`s quite extrovert and very sociable – she has lots of friends. She`s also very good with children. She has a young step-brother and several young cousins, and I know she likes playing with them. She`s incredibly hard-working and responsible – she passed all her exams last year, which is more than I did! She likes going out, seeing films and listening to music, but not rock or heavy metal – so don`t worry about noise! And she`s happy to do things on her own - she`s very independent, so you won`t really have to look after her. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother and stepfather, but she also sees her father regularly. The only negative things I can think of are that she`s a bit untidy – her room is usually in a mess – and that her English is, well, not brilliant. But I`m sure she`ll learn fast! I think she`s really nice and that you and the family will get on well with her. I hope that`s useful. Let me know if you need any more information about her. Love, Claudia

1. What is the relationship between Martha and Fernanda?
· friends who are in close contact
· friends who haven`t seen each other for a long time
· family members who haven`t seen each other for a long time
· colleagues who see each other at work
2. Who else does Martha mention?
|
From: Martha To: Fernanda Subject: The best friend |
|
|
Hi Fernanda! It`s so great to find you after all this time. I can`t believe it – Facebook is so fab – I`ve tried to think about how to get in touch with you so much and I couldn`t think what to do. I looked on Facebook loads of times and there were so many people with your name. I couldn`t see your picture anywhere so I sent a couple of emails to some of them without pix but nobody got back to me. L Then the other day, I decided to look again and your face was there!!! J So, some of my news. When I left Portugal – all those years ago!! – I came back to England and got a job teaching at a secondary school. I didn`t stay long cos it was really awful. You know just really difficult kids and long hours and stuff like that. Well, after that I messed around for ages, sort of looking for another job, but not doing much really. After a bit, I got into helping at my friend`s café and things went from there. She had to go abroad for a while so she left me in charge and I became the sort of manager. Love it! So, at the moment that`s what I`m doing – though I think I might go back to college and do some training. I`d like to learn how to cook properly – maybe get into that side of things. You know a professional chef or something. Anyway, enough about me – what about you?! How`s it going? Are you still living in Lisbon? What are you doing? I want to hear about your brother Paulo, too. What`s he up to? Email me back straight away!! Can`t believe I lost touch with a great friend like you! Lots of love, Martha
