Love Actually

In this post I'm going to talk about the film 'Love Actually' which we saw in class some moths ago.

Love Actually is a film which has a lot of famous actors, like Hugh Grant who plays Prime Minister, Liam Neeson, Pill Nighy ( the funniest) or Rowan Atkinson, who only appears in one scene.
During the film there are some love stories bacause some of the characters meet and start to get on well and chat theirselves up, but first they have problems to get what they want, which the person they love.The film was set in London, Marselle and Aix en Provence.
In my opinion 'Love Actually' is a good film because it shows a lot of sentimental feelings and has also a humorious side.
I would recommend it seeing it at Christmas to all types of people because it's funny and amusing.

Carnival 2

The second week is the strong one. All starts on Wednesday, when in the evening people use to dress up like in 60's, although this year this has been changed by dressing with sport clothes. This evening they also throw out confetti in a carp with a cannon. Thursday evening is one of the best, because we put on our pijamas and go around the 'casetes' like that. The organising committee tend to bring a good music show this evening, specially for teens. On Friday, children dress up them costumes in the morning but youg people and adults go out in the evening. Finally, it arrives the Saturday and Sunday, when people who belong to different troupes go out to dance with amazing costumes of each troupe aroud some of the main streets of the town.

I'll show you a photo:

Carnival

During the last two weeks it was celebrated Carnival in my town. It started the 21st February and finished on Monday, so we didn't have class at school.

The first day, some people goes to the carnival presentation, at the town hall. There, a comedy group performs a short play to welcome. On Saturday there is the Queens presentation, when a girl of each 'comparsa' shows her dress to all the public and dances a bit on the stage. In the beginning and at half time of this event some of our school girls classmates dance with their dance academy. The next day, Sunday, people goes to the 'casetes' at lunch time to have paella.
This activities happen the first weekend.

Dear Sir Alex

I’m writing to apply for the job as shop assistant at High Street music shop because I saw your advertisement in a bar near my house.

I am fifteen years old and I’m studying a career at Good People School. I’m always very polite with people according to my friends, I’m also outgoing and confident, so it isn’t very hard to talking with estrange people for me, so I think it is my ideal job.

Two summers ago, I worked in a bakery, it didn’t sell much bread until I arrived there. That summer, the shop became more popular, I think the last assistant was too much shy for this type of job.

I enclose my CV and a recent photograph.

Sincerely

Albert

Dear Sir John

I recently saw your advertisement in the street for a Junior Swim School Assistant and I’m writing to you to apply for the position.

I am fifteen years old and I’m a student of Clever School. I swim since I was a child because my parent joined me to the Local Swimming Centre when I was 3. I have participated in some national competitions so I have a good experience for this job. My parents say me I’m a very reliable person, and my friends that I’m brave to talk with adult people.

This summer, I teached my little cousin Carlos to swim without any help and he finally get it although is only 3 year old. I’ve helped the monitors of the swimming center too. I really love children.

Yours faithfully

                

Albert
