A formal email

Dear Editor,
I am writing in respponse to an article I saw last week in one post in your blog. I was desappointed to read you opinions because I think you don't think about other people. I would like to talk about your thoughts about wether traveling by train is a thing of the past.

Firstly, there is an obvious advantage of travelling by train. It is one of the fastest methods of circulation in the world.

When you travel by train, you can save lot of money if you use it very often. You'll only need the ticket that you can pay every month and it's cheaper than gasoline.

Next, people that can't afford buying a car, they have to take the traing because it is their only wayto take them to heir jobs.

Finally, I am due to start a new university career in Barcelona and as soon I arrive I will have to take the train every day, just like many other people.

Thank you for your time,

Clàudia Agustí.

Hi!

We are Carla and Clàudia and we have been working on a project to prepare and interesting two-days itinerary for a school Exchange. We have decided to visit different places of the city while we show you what we do in our daily life. Hope you like it!

Banyoles is a city in el Pla de l’Estany, near Girona. The lake, which is in the western part of the city, is an important tourist attraction we have. Just like its free time and sportive activities. We have lived here since we were born so we know many things about the city. Come and let us show you some of them. Let’s start!

It’s half past eight and it’s Friday. Lessons start by know. On today’s timetable we have Science, Technology, Spanish, English, French and Maths. How our school works? On Fridays and Wednesdays we have classes from 8:30 to 3:00 with two breaks in the middle.

After a long day, we go home. Today we’re going to have lunch at Carla’s grandparents’ house.

We have just finished lunch and now we are going to the Porqueres’ church which is beautiful and it’s quite near from here.

We take our bikes and we go from Porqueres to the center of Banyoles. During the ride we stop in a Palanca which is a good place to discover the lake’s charm. We sometimes go there when we are busy to relax and disconnect.

When we get to the Plaça Major square we have a pancake in a popular place called l’Exquisit. They look delicious and, trust me, they are.

After having dinner we walk in the streets of Banyoles discovering place like the ancient wall.

It’s nine o’clock and we have to get ready. Before having breakfast, we go for a walk around the lake. When we get home, we prepare our breakfast which is a cup of milk with cereals and a toast with Nutella.

Today we have booked a rowing boat. Although it isn’t allowed to row in all the lake, it’s a great way to have different point of view of the city. And also, a great opportunity to make beautiful photos. After that, we’re going to have lunch at Clàudia’s house.

After the boats, walk to the city centre to get an ice cream. You can get your favourite flavour, choose the cream you like the most and add all the condiments you want on it.

At the end of the day we have the most interesting activity. We’re going to the Montilivi stadium to watch Girona’s match against the Valencian team.

This is our plan. Can’t wait to meet you soon!

Bye!

Bye!
