Opinion Essay

I think that my hometown, Artesa de Segre, is a good place to live for teenagers, but it isn’t the best. In my hometown there are a few things. 

Well, Artesa de Segre hasn’t got seaside, cinema, shows, and other events, because it is a small town in the center of Catalonia.  But Artesa de Segre has got sport facilities, good education, at the weekend we have concerts, and other activities. But the best thing of these activities is the good atmosphere that we have! As a small town, the price of things tends to be cheap. The activities that before are called are near to the town.

In conclusion, Artesa de Segre is a good place to teenagers to live. There are a lot of things for everyone to do. It Is a very good place to live! 

American history

In North America there were two tribes which were rivals. The blue tribe and the red tribe were separated by a river.  One day, a man of the blue tribe went into the forest of the red tribe. There, he saw a girl of the other tribe and he wanted to kill her but when he saw her, he realized that he had fallen in love.  The couple met every full moon night in the other side of the lake. The Indian crossed the river by boat. One of those nights he didn’t find his boat and then he started to swim across the river but he drowned in to the water, because he could not swim. Then, when the girl knew that her boyfriend had lost his life, she told it to her tribe, and that tribe to the other tribe. They decided to name the lake after the poor Indian.

Hello John,

It was great to hear from you! I’m happy to start being pen-pals.  You wrote because you wanted to know more information about you. And I’m writing this letter to explain you about my hobbies and also to give you some information of me. 

But the other days I like surfing the Internet, riding a motorcycle, skiing and playing football. I train football all Wednesdays and Fridays and I play a match every Saturday.

Oh, yes-school. My favorite subjects are physics, chemistry and Mathematics.  But when I finish classes, on Tuesday I go to the music school to learn to play the guitar.

Write soon!

Yours,

Isaac Priego
