A FACT-FILE (SNAKE)

Snakes are thin reptiles. They live worldwide. This animal can live for 10 yeras, and adults are usually 2 metres long.

Most species aren't poisonaus. They eat other animals, for example: rats and insects and sometimes they eat deer. You can't buy them in a pet shop because this species live in exotic areas. Snakes like to drag and screw on the trees, but they dislike noises.

Snakes are interesting because they are special pets but they aren't good. They don't have a cage. These animals are intelligent. ADVICE: You must buy snakes, you must buy the different food for them and very important, you must have patience.

A BOOK OR FILM REVIEW

I saw a film called Mamma Mia. It was a romantic film about a girl (Sophie) and her mother (Donna).

In the story Sophie and her mother lived on a Greek Island. Sophie didn't know the name of her father. She wanted to know her father's name because she and her boyfriend decided to marry and she wanted her father in the church. Shophie had a very big problem because her mother didn't know her old boyfriends were on the island. Finally, Sophie didn't marry and her mother married one of Sophie's fathers.

I loved the film because it was exciting and lovely. And the characters were funny and happy in their life and in the film!!!

A LETTER FROM A DESERT ISLAND

My name is Claudia Ribas and I'm writing this from an Island near Madagascar.
My dog and my friends are here too. We are lost and we can't communicate.



Life is very funny after one month on this island.
We've got a lot of games and relax and swim every day.


We're having fun here but we're missing our families.
There is a lot of food. We always eat tropical food and
coconuts.
We eat shellfish too, because they are good!
This food is delicious!

AN EMAIL ABOUT A HOLIDAY

Hi Mary,
I'm on holiday here in London with my family and my best friend: Aina.

It's very cold and windy, so we're staying in our hotel.

At the moment I'm shopping with my family and my best friend
Here the temperature is nice.
In Harrods we're looking at the different things
in the different shops. They're very expensive!
I can't buy them!
In the evenings I walk in the city, eat in restaurants and
I often listen to music in my room.

Tomorrow we're visiting the british museum and we're
watching a film in the cinema.
We hate horror films we like romantic films and musicals.

See you soon,
Claudia

MY DAY

My name is Claudia. I live in Banyoles, in Catalonia. I get up at half past seven in the morning. Then I wash my face - I have a shower in the morning and get dressed, then I have breakfast with my family.

The classes start at nine o'clock. I usually go to school by bike, but sometimes I go by car.

We have lunch at home. We usually have pasta and rice. At five o'clock we finish school and we go home. At hasf past five I play basketball and at half past eight I do my homework. I never watch TV on weekdays. Sometimes I talk on the phone with my friends.

I LOVE MY DAY!

MY GOOD FRIEND

My best friend's name is Berta.

She's twelve years old and she lives in Banyoles like me. Berta isn't very tall, she's got blond hair and brown eyes. We go to the same shool and same class.

I like her because she is funny and we are happy.

We don't disagree, because Berta and I like the same things:

music, sport, films...

In winter we often go to ski in Vallter with our families. It's very funny and...cold!

Sometimes we do homework together. In summer we go to swim to the sea or in our swimming pools. WE ENJOY IT!!!

CREATIVE WRITING

At my super-school there are three classes every day.
Classes start at eleven o'clock and they finish at two o'clock.
We don't go to school on Thursday.

Today we don't go to school but in the evening I play basketball with my friends.
English is my favourite subject because Michael Jackson is the teacher.
In my super school P.E. and English are obligatory.
We don't wear a uniform in my school.

I like the school because the teachers are very good, teachers are very happy with us.
My super-school is fantastic!
