Smoking steady despite quit aids

Carefully, sales of products to help smokers kick the habit have increased in the past 12 months. It’s owing to the outdoor smoking ban, besides other aspects. However, the growth of sales tobacco is continuing, actually.
The Government invested in promoting its smoking cessation services heavily.

Tube passengers stuck in tunnel for hours... and staff didn’t know

Hundreds of London Underground travellers were in a tunnel for almost two hours, angrily. On account of it, an investigation is being required. Moreover, before this accident, there were some others problems.
The passengers were there since the central line was suspended seeing that the driver couldn’t communicate with the controllers.

Nicole Kidman is one of my favorite actresses, who was the protagonist of the films as Moulin Rouge or for instance Bewitched. I am going to describe her because I would be so happy if I meet her.
She is really pretty. Nicole Kidman has got long, wavy and blond hair, though she sometimes has got straight hair. She is thin-faced, tall and slim. In addition, she has blue eyes and a big mouth. What’s more, she always wears elegant, fashionable, trendy and smart clothes.
About her personality, I think she is very sociable, talented, self-assured, polite, and also a little bit relaxed. Moreover, in my opinion, she is an honest and caring person.
I would like she will tell me some things about the films and her work. I would have an autograph in my room if I met Nicole Kidman. If I had met her, I would have known the star world. However, it is quite impossible.

Dear Mrs Julia Brown,

I am writing to complain about a digital clock radio which I bought last weekend for my mother because it is useful, portable and cheap. The trouble is it can only receive two radio stations and it is impossible to switch off the light, it is always on, but the worst is that the alarm clock does not work well. If I may switch on the alarm, the alarm will not sound although I will have turned up the volume.

When I tried to return the faulty digital clock radio to Designer Electronics, the shop assistant told me he was not the reponsible for these special offers and he does not want to replace it.

I would like you could let me have a refund but I will accept a replacement if it is impossible. I am going to enclose the receipt with this letter. You can contact me if you need any more information.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Sílvia Colom

Dear Sophie,

I'm having a fantastic time because today it's 1st May.

On 1st May people don't work here because it's "the worker's Day" and everyone is happy for it.

In Olot, every year there are many shops in street. The shops are in the morning, and now I'm shopping with my friends.

My family and I always get together to have lunch at my grandmother's house. She usually shares out the food and after all the rest clear up the mess at the end.

In the afternoon, I sometimes watch a film but I think today my friends and I will watch an interesting football match.

Why don't you visit us next time? You'd like it!

Write to me soon,

Sylvia

Treasure Island

In this course I read TREASURE ISLAND by Robert Louis Stevenson.

The story is an adventure novel about some good people and pirates who want a treasure.

Jim Hawkins, the protagonist, found the treasure's map and decided with his friends to look for it. But when they created the crew, they didn't know that some pirates were in the crew for catch the treasure, too.

They look for a treasure and they have a lot of fights with pirates.

Els Pets

In our english classes, Carla, Eva and I chose the group Els Pets for do the presentation.

This is our work about els pets:



PRESENTATION

We are going to explained more things about Catalan group called Els Pets.
We chose this group because we like their lyrics and it is a popular group in Catalonia.
Els Pets is a Catalan pop rock band with Lluís Gavaldà the lead singer, composer and guitarist, Joan Reig the drumer and Falin Cáceres plays the bass.
This group is from the village of Constantí (Tarragona) and it was formed in 1985. In their origens they began to play for his region. His style was called Agricultural Rock, as a group that was played in towns and it wasn’t from the city.
In 1991 they took part in the macroconcert of Palau Sant Jordi with Sopa de Cabra, Sau and Sangtraït. Since this concert they have become more famous for everywhere of Catalonia.


EXPERIENCES

In 1989 they recorded their first album, but they weren’t popular until they removed the disc Bondia which sold more than 85.000 CDs.
Els Pets has 12 albums, for exemple the most knews: Agost, Vine a la festa and Bondia. They colaborated with others groups, macroconcerts and with TV3 programmes, too.
The last CD which they recorded is “Com anar al cel i tornar”.
They have different prizes, like Enderrock prizes for the best singer, the best song, the best group, the best concert… and the prize “Éxits d’or”.




PERSONAL OPINION

We think their music can be funny, sad, extraordinary, cheerful, peacefull, lively, pensative, relaxing,moved, reflexive… very variable.
We belive their lives aren’t very quiet because they should be pending for the fans, the concerts and take off time to be with his family to do things with the group.
We know these group but we are very surprised about all prizes they won and their exits. We don’t know that they have 12 albums although we had listened many of his songs, and we like it.

Here, there is a link of one of their songs: agost.
