Section 3, Task 3

 

It was 25th of August, 3 days before the birthday of my best friend. All of us were planning what to do to celebrate his birthday. Then someone proposed a surprise party.
We thought that it was the best thing, because everyone likes good surprises and because it would be great.
Planning the party wasn't easy. We had to tell everyone, and we had to be very careful, otherwise my friend could hear about this. Also, we had to buy all materials. Food, materials, decorations, etc.
When the party came, I went to my house with my friend, while the others were preparing last details of the party. The sent me a message "PP" that meant everything was ready. I went with my friend, and when he entered and heard the "SURPRISE!!!!" he couldn't even believe it! He was so happy and amazed about the party that he almost fainted! And that is how it was made the best surprise party to a friend.

Task 5, Section 1

Dear Josh,

Thanks for informing me about your recent idea of being a TV presenter. I think it is a very good idea.

It will be very important to become a TV presenter to be very funny, positive and active. People want a good presenter but if you don't have that characteristics, you will fail.

You will find some difficulties, for example, the journalists. They will always try to let you down. You have to be emotionally strong. I think that if you use this advice, you will be very successful as a TV presenter, and maybe I will see you in TV shows many times.

I hope you can be a good presenter.

Section 2, Task 2

The new leisure centre that you opened last week isn't accepted here in the area. Everyone thought that this could be a great idea but now everyone hates it.
The first problem of it, is that it's appearance is boring. The main thing that can make people to go to that leisure centre is the appearance. If you see this leisure centre from the outside your will know that it will be boring. Another thing is that when you enter, there is nothing to do! There's only 1 ride that is aceptable, Because the others are for 5 year-old kids. I think that the reason why this is boring is because it has only three rides! There is a solution, make new rides with a good design. If you make these new things people will be attracted and all of them will go.
 
Sincerely,
Juan C. Manriquez

Task 3, Section 1 (Fixed Version)

Hey Bro,
What's Up?
yesterday I was chilling at internet and I found this awesome contest!

It's a snowboard competition, and the only thing you need to do is be the most original person doing tricks. You have to pass through obstacles too, otherwise you will get disqualified. The prize is the best part, if you win, you will have the chance to meet... SHAUN WHITE!!!
I'm definitely going to participate, this weekend I will go to a snow park to practice my jumps and to be physically and mentally prepared to this contest. Hope to see you there!
Brofist,

Task 5, Section 2

Sport Evets - Unaceptable Things

 One of the things that makes people go mad when watching sports is the bad application of the rules, this doesn't happen usually, but when it does, affect everyones mood.

Last day I was watching a Rugby match and I noticed that the player that made the last Try was touching the border line, I fist tought that the second referee will notice about it but after a while of waiting nothing happened.
I think the organizers need to have more ways to know if the player is respecting the rules or not, here are some suggestions to make the match more fair for every team:
  • Cameras that record many angles of the field, like border lines, ingoal, etc.
  • Referees with a better capacitation to judge the matchs better
  • More extrict rules that penalizes the players that don't respect the rules
I hope you take these ideas and apply them because we all want to see a match that is fair to both of the teams.

Sincerely,
Juan C. Manriquez

Common Mistakes

Now I will show you a list of my common mistakes.

1) This, These

"These" is used for plural, and "This" is used for singular.
Example:
I could use 'these' in "These exercises are easy" and 'this' in " This exercise is easy"
 
2) Whit, With

This one is the mistake I use commit the most,

We use "With" to link two words, and "whit" when we are talking about a pinch, dash, shred, ounce, trace.
Example: Yesterday I went to the beach with my family"

3) Don't, Doesn't
Incorect way: He don´t...     I doesn't...
We use "Don't" when we talk about "I", "You", "We", "They".
Example: I/You/We/They Don't need this.
We use "Doesn't" when we talk about "He", "She", "It".
Example: He/She/It Doesn't need this.
