WRITING Unit 8

This time last year, things weren’t going too well for me. I went to live in Australia last year so I didn’t have friends there, I didn’t know anyone. I’m a bit why so it was very difficult for me to make new friends.

Everything changed for me the day that some of y classmates invited me to go with them to the city center after class, I went with them and I had a very good time there. From this day I started being very well with my new class and I really got on well with them.

From this day I felt much happier. Having friends there made me feel more sociable and happy. I’m still in contact with some of the friends that I made there in Australia an I’m meting the again these holidays.

About one week ago something happened which was a real test of my honesty. I was with one of my friends running around the lake when my friend suddenly stopped because he saw something strange in the floor. He took this paper and we saw it was an envelope with €1.000 inside.

We couldn’t believe that! It was incredible. We went to my frineds house, we didn’t know what to do, it was a lot of money! Of course we knew what was correct: we should take the money to the police.

For one moment we thought to take part of the money and give the rest to the police, but finally we decided to be honest. We went to the police station and we gave the money to them.

WRITING: MY TRIP TO ITALY

Hi I’m Marçal Alsina and now I’m going to explain you how was my last trip to Italy.

It was two weeks ago when we went to Italy as the final course trip. I went with the most of my class made and two teachers: Jordi and Anna.

We left Banyoles on Monday at 5:30 am, and we went to Barcelona to take a plane to Mila. When we arrived in Mila we went directly to Verona by bus. There we stayed two days: on the first day we visited the city center and the Arena, and on Thursday we took a train to Venezia. There we saw the most important places of this curious city like Sant Marco square or the Rialto Bridge. I think Venezia is a very beautiful city.

On Wednesday we arrived at Firenze, where we stayed two more days, Firenze is what I liked the most.

We passed the last day in Pisa. We saw the Pisa tower and the Duomo.

So all in all, It was one of my best trips ever. I think one week its a very short time… but we all had a very good time together and now our friendship is bigger than ever, so it’s a very good experience and very useful.

ARE MOBILE PHONES GOOD?

Mobile phones are one of the greatest invention of our times, and the majority of people use it. As you know, the phone is used to communicate with other people.

I tink that a phone can be very useful if it's well used, for exeple you can talk with people in another part of the world. But nowadays I think that mobile phones are used for moch more things than talking. Now it's used for entertainment before than communication, and I think it shoulkn't happened.

In conclusion I think that wue really need mobile phones but we should use it properly.
