Unit 1 - Christina

A minute after Christina had entered the room, she knew something was wrong. She started looking everywhere. The floor, her bedroom, under the bed, even in the fridge. "Where is my bag??" she asked herself. Then she remembered "the train station, I must have left it there!". She started running back to the train station, dodging people and cars as she came across the street.
When she got there, she saw a policeman and she asked him if he had seen her black bag. He told her that he saw a tall , blonde man picking it up, and then leaving the station. He was wearing a blue shirt. She thanked the policeman and then left the station. When she got out, she saw a tall blonde man, wearing a blue shirt. "That's him!" she though to herself as she started hitting him. "Give me back my bag!" she shouted while the man was getting hit. After a while she stopped and he gave Christina the bag, and told her that he had been looking for her to give it back, but he couldn't find her.

Unit 15
Mean Girls

Mean girls, at the begging looks like the typical stupid teenagers movie, but when you start watching it you realize that its really funny and entertaining .With the great actress Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron who has just returned to United States with her parents after being her entire life home schooled in Africa. She is really sweet, innocent, shy and she loves maths, but that’s about to change.

She enters to a school for the first time when she is 16,and her first day in class its terrible, but on the second day she meets Janis and Ian, two best friends that show her the school and explain her who are the “Teen Royalty”.

At first they make fun of them, and make a plan to know their secrets but, the plan goes wrong and Cady whose part was only to act as their friend, starts becoming one of them. Now she is superficial, mean and popular and she starts failing maths, just to have something to talk with Aaron, a cut guy who is Regina Georges’s boyfriend, the most popular girl in School. When Cady tells Aaron that Regina it’s cheating on him, and he breaks up with her Regina has an evil idea against Cady that produces a fight between all girls at school.


Unit 3
Field Hockey

Field hockey is a team sport in which a team of sixteen players of players whose objective it’s to score goals, play in grass. Hockey is played with wood sticks and the ball is hard and of plastic.

The positive points of hockey are many; one of them is that it requires a lot of team work, so you really establish great friendships with the other players. Another positive point is that you have fun a lot but at the same time you run a lot, which is why hockey it’s really good for your health.

But of course, this sport has got some negative points. As to play hockey you need a stick and a lot of protection, the equipment to play it, can cost a lot, for example :In Argentina, a good stick costs you at least $150-$200.Altought I love hockey, I have to admit that it’s a very dangerous sport, the sticks are really hard and you can hurt people while you are trying to hit the ball, that its also very dangerous because in many moves you have to raise the ball, and it may hit somebody. That is why you have to use a mouth guard and shin pads.

In my opinion hockey it’s a great sport, it helps you to keep healthy, and its really entreating also to watch, but if you want to play it you have to be aware that the possibilities of being injured are high.

Unit 14 - My favourite place

My favourite place

There are lots of places I like: San bernardo, Villa Crespo, and a lot more. But my favourite place is a really special one. My bedroom.
My bedroom is like others, I have posters, CD’s, a TV, books, a guitar and things like that. It is all untidied and I keep things under the bed.
My bedroom is special because it is the place where I can think, listen to music, sleep, play the guitar, be with my friends, or even disconnect myself of everything and be alone when I want to.

Unit 13 - A misunderstanding

A misunderstanding

The other day a friend called me on the phone. He asked me to go out on the weekend, and suddenly the phone rang. I picked it up and said “hold on a moment, I am at the other phone” but both started talking at the same time. On one side my friend asked me to go out, but on the other my mum said “can I talk to you?” so I said “no, hold on” and my friend said “what do you mean no?” and my mum said “who are you talking to?”. I said “to a friend, mum” and my friend said “I can’t understand anything!” “me neither!” I said. My mum asked me what was going on and I told her “nothing. Can I call you later?” and my friend said “yes but are we going out then???” and my mum asked me “is someone there?” “NO!” I shouted. Then my friend told me “ok! But don’t shout at me!”. I was so tired that I shouted “SHUT UP!”
My friend insulted me and then hang up. I told my mom to call later and then called my friend.
“Hey, uuh, listen, I’m sorry about shouting, but I wasn’t shouting at you, my mum was on the other phone and I couldn’t understand anything” and my friend told me “It’s ok” so I finished talking and I went to my room and fell asleep.

Unit 11 - Should pop stars become political?

Should pop stars become political?

Pop stars can be great. They make good music, and make people have fun. But how do you imagine them to be politicians?
This can be good, because they have a point of view that may be good, they can try to help and they sometimes do it.
But on the other hand, they generally don’t know anything about politics, and the can make a total mess.
In my opinion they shouldn’t become political because I think they wouldn’t make as much good things as bad things.

Unit 10 - Our life 50 years from now

Our life 50 years from now

What will happen 50 years from now? Will the world be a living chaos? Or will it be a place people will love?
One of the things that most worry me is the war. All the countries think about themselves, not about others. Maybe there is a World War 3. Who knows? Maybe there will be peace and people will love this planet.
In my opinion, people will love planet earth. Maybe there are conflicts, but maybe people look at themselves and say “What are we doing?” and everything stops.

Unit 8 - Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl(David Eric Grohl) is a rock musician, singer and songwriter. He is actually in an INCREDIBLE band called Foo Fighters.
When Dave was a young child, his family relocated from Warren, Ohio, to Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC. Three years later, his parents divorced, and Dave grew up living with his mother.
At the age of twelve, Dave began learning to play the guitar. He played in bands with friends.
While in high school, Grohl played in several local bands, including a stint on guitar in a band called Freak Baby. While playing in Freak Baby, Grohl had been teaching himself to play drums by banging on various items in his bedroom. When Freak Baby kicked out its bass player, Grohl decided to switch to drums, and the new band called themselves Mission Impossible. During his developing years as a drummer, Grohl cited John Bonham as his greatest influence, and eventually had Bonham's three-circle logo tattooed on his wrist. Mission Impossible later rebranded themselves Fast before breaking up, after which Grohl joined the post-punk-influenced hardcore punk band Dain Bramage.
After this, Dave started playing drums on Nirvana, but then Kurt Cobain died and after a while he started playing guitar and singing on Foo Fighters.
I admire Dave Grohl because of the music he makes, sometimes listening to it cheers me up. But most important, I admire Dave because of the cool person he is. Even with strangers Dave is funny and he is really cool. He is also a good person, he is married and has 1 daughter. He plays the guitar, drums, bass, and the piano

Unit 5

Hi Tom,


The party last Saturday was incredible, the food was great, great music too, and lots of cool people.
Anyway, guess what happened to me on that party. I met an awesome girl. Her name is Jennifer and she is from the USA.
Apart from that, she was beautiful, intelligent and funny. She had black hair and piercing blue eyes. Just like the beautiful ocean in those movies. She isn’t too short or too tall, just average. And when she smiles at you, you get an incredible feeling.
But most important, she is really nice. She is also charming, and she is not a liar. And when she says nice things about you, she means them. She is also in a band, and I asked her if sometime she wanted to play with us, and she said that she’d love to.
The bad news is that she is going back to USA, but she will probably come back.
Best of luck, Uriel

Unit 4

Dear Sally,
Thanks for writing back. I was starting to get a little worried!
I can’t wait until you visit me! I really want to see you.

Both weekends are ok.
All the best, and looking forward to see you!

Unit 3 - Tennis

Tennis

Tennis is a popular sport, it may not be as popular as football, but it is interesting.
Some people like it because it is interesting, others because it is fun and besides it is not as aggressive as football or boxing.
On the other hand, it may sometimes be boring, or maybe, if you like football too much, it may seem really quiet,
In my opinion it is really fun to play, but some matches can be really boring to watch.

Unit 2 - A guide to a happy life

A guide to a happy life


Watch what you eat,don't eat too much junk food!If you do that you'll probably be in overweight,and thats not good.You should also do much exercise,going for a walk half an hour a day can help very much.Don't wait to be thirsty to drink water.You should also know where does the food you eat come from,if it's from a dirty place,you shouldn't eat it.
It's important to sleep well, because if you don't you will be sleepy and stressed

Writting 5 (Por Javier)

Hi Mary,
How are you doing? We haven’t seen since I was thirty. We passed a lovely time together. Do you remember when we visited the museum and the park? It was great.
However, I’m writing to tell you I’m going to marry. Can you believe it? The girl is someone I knew in the english course. One day, we didn’t have other choice that sitting together. Then we started sitting together everyday and finally, I invited her to a date. It was great.
The wedding will take place on the fifth of November, and I was wondering if you could take some days off and come to visit us, we all miss you. I look forward to hearing from you and please answer me as soon as possible.
Love you,
Javier

Carlos Alberto Martinez


Carlos Alberto Martinez , known as “Carlos Alberto Tevez” or “Apache” is an Argentinian placer who currently plays for Manchester United in the premier league
Carlos Alberto Tévez (born Carlos Alberto Martínez, 5 February 1984 in Ciudadela, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays for Manchester United in the Premier League. He was described by Diego Maradona as the "Argentine prophet for the 21st century."
Carlos Alberto Martínez was raised in the humble neighborhood of Ejército de Los Andes, better known as "Fuerte Apache." It was from there where he got the nickname of "Apache." His parents changed his surname to his mother's during a conflict between his junior club All Boys and Boca Juniors.
He joined Boca at the age of sixteen. He played for the team until the end of 2004. With Boca Juniors he won an Argentine Championship (2003), a Copa Libertadores (2003), an Intercontinental Cup (2003), and a Copa Sudamericana (2004). In December 2004, he transferred to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista for $20 million with a five year contract worth $10 million, following the Brazilian club's deal with Media Sports Investments.
My opinion is that “Apache” is the best player of the world , and I would like that tevez come back to boca because we need him , in the oder side , I thinks it wasn’t a good idea to change his surname because your surname is part of your.
