Meli’s best friend - 3rd year writing task

Joel Alvarez is my best friend.He is a really kind person. He's very generous,humorous and a sympathetic person.He cares about me,and about all his friends. He always helps his friends in everything they need,and he is a very good listener.

Joel is very optimistic,and if you are sad,he tries to make you laugh.

He is the most intelligent student.He always helps me in everything I need.For exampe,if I foget to do my homework,he does it for me,or if I need to study and I can't focus,he offers to help me. Joel always gets good grades(although he doesn't study much...). Joel is now working on an individual project, he's trying to make a remote-controlled car.

In my opinion he is the best person I know,and I want to be his friend forever! Joel is that kind of person that gives you everything.

5th year students (A.L.) have been working on informal writings. (FCE writing skills - Exam practice)

Scarano, Ayelén / 5th “C”

WRITING: Informal email

FROM: Ayelén Scarano

TO: Adam McGuire

SUBJECT: New pen friend!

                                Dear Adam,

                                                     I’m writing to you to let you know that I’m an Argentinian friend of your cousin Mary. I’ve heard you’re looking for a pen friend, so I asked her to give me your email address. I just loved the idea of contacting you because I’m planning to visit England next summer and it would be useful for both of us to get to know each other.

                                                   Well, my name is Ayelén and I’m sixteen. I’m at secondary school but next year I’ll be studying Translation at the Catholic Argentinian University. I’m a big fan of a singer who’s called Axel. Who’s your favourite singer? I really like travelling to different countries but what I like the most is spending time with my family and friends.

                                                  I live with my parents, my sister and my dog.  My dad owns a factory and my mum is a meteorologist. My sister’s three years younger than me and even though she doesn’t look like me, we’ve got lots of things in common. My family and I live in Buenos Aires, which is the capital city of the country. Have you ever been to Buenos Aires city? You should! It’s such an interesting place to visit.

                                                It would be great to meet you sometime. I’ll let you know when I’m going to get to the UK and you should do the same if you come here sometime.

                         

                                              Looking forward to hearing from you.

                                                                                                       Take care,

                                                                                                        Ayelén

Moya - Garcen

         

 Dear Andrew,

 I’ve learnt you are looking for a contact here in Argentina so I’m writing to tell you about my life and different aspects related to me, to make it easy for you to find out what kind of person I am.

I love sports, in fact now I am playing tennis at “Club Italiano”. I’m taking guitar lessons too. In my leisure time I like visiting my cousins and spending time with them. I go to Sagrado Corazon School and at the weekend I hang out with my friends, we usually go to a popular disco called “Apple”. I am a sensible and responsible person and I am always trying to solve people’s problems!

I live in Caballito with my sister, who is called Sofia, and with my older brother Nicolás. Our parents live out of the country, in Uruguay, and they visit us once a month. I’ve got a good relationship with my mother but I don´t get on well with my father, we have really different points of view in many aspects of life, so we don´t share the same ideas or opinions.

To sum up, I would like to know something about you and your lifestyle. I am looking forward to meeting you, so why don't you come to BA for a weekend? To my mind it’s an amazing idea. Think about it!

         Write soon.

                       

            Best wishes,

                               Guillermina.
