Life in Spain: Personal Reflections and Social Issues
Hi Mary!
Sorry I haven’t written before, but I’ve been very busy with my exams. Thanks for your e-mail. I liked your photos very much!
I’ll tell you a bit about myself. I like surfing the internet, watching TV, and listening to music. My favourite sport is climbing, so I often go climbing with my friends at the weekends.
I live in a big house with my family. I’ve got one brother. He is twenty-three years old. I also have four dogs.
Write back soon and tell me more about you.
All the best,
Melody
My Free Time
In my free time, I like listening to music and watching TV. My favourite type of music is pop music, and my favourite TV programmes are comedies. In addition, I like going out with my friends at the weekend. We usually have dinner together, and then we go to a pub or disco.
In my free time, I also like reading and playing computer games. I love computers! In fact, I love chatting with my friends and surfing the internet.
Titanic: A Romantic Film
Titanic is one of the best romantic films in the world. Leonardo DiCaprio plays the part of Jack, and the story takes place on a ship many years ago. This film is about a poor man who falls in love with a woman who is going to marry a rich man. The acting is excellent, and the dialogue is brilliant. This film is amazing with a fantastic soundtrack. It made me cry!
My Country: Spain
I am proud and ashamed to be a citizen of Spain.
On the one hand, my country has a lot of beautiful cities to visit. For instance, you can visit Madrid and Barcelona. You can have a really good time there.
On the other hand, I don’t like some things about my country. For instance, I don’t like the violence that there is in the streets. Furthermore, I hate that there is a lot of traffic.
In conclusion, my country is not perfect. However, I like living in Spain.
A Funny Family Story
Can you remember any funny stories about your family?
Last year I went camping with my family. We were having lunch when suddenly we saw a big bee flying around us. The bee started to follow my mother, so she started to run very quickly. She was running for a long time until the bee disappeared.
We laughed at my mother a lot, and we had a really good time.
The Problem of Pollution in Big Cities
Nowadays, there is a lot of pollution in big cities because of different reasons.
One of the most important reasons is that there are a lot of cars in the streets, so they produce a lot of smoke and gases. Besides, factories also produce smoke, and this is very harmful for the environment.
In my opinion, governments should take measures to stop this pollution because I think that if this pollution doesn’t stop, we will live in a polluted world which will be very harmful for people, animals, and plants.
The Roles of Men and Women
The roles of men and women were very different some years ago. Men worked outside, and women did the housework and looked after their children.
However, this has changed nowadays. At the moment, women work outside too, so both men and women have to share the tasks at home and look after the children.
In my opinion, the roles of men and women should be the same at home. They should share everything because I think that women and men are equal and they can do any task at home.
