A Trip to Granada.

Dear Sue,
I'm writing to tell you that next week Anne and I are going on holiday to Granada for one week, you see? If you would like to come with us, we would leave on Monday at Méndez Álvaro coach station, at 15:00 hrs. The journey would take us about 5 hours. If all goes well the arrival is due at 20.00, then we would go to the Palma Hotel. Once we are installed the fun will start until late that night.
We expect that this packed-long-week of fun would convince you to come along.
See you soon.
Ainhoa

University Entry Exam. Exercises.

1. Explain why ecologists want to close Mount Everest. Give at least two reasons.

First reason is that the tourists bring a lot of rubbish with them to the mountains. The second is that it's too difficult to provide electricity and running water to all the small villages around the mountains when there are normally tens of thousands of tourists who arrive there every year.

2. Why is the Nepalese government against closing Mount Everest?

Because they are getting a lot af money particularly from the climbers. The Nepalese government asks for a great quantity of money to issue visas for mountaineers, around $94.000 for a group of climbers.

Festivals of Toro (Zamora).

Toro is a town in the province of Zamora, its festivals are held the last week of August in honor of its patron saint Agustin. At the beginning the queen of the festival is elected who will have to attend all the events during the festival of Saint Augustin and the rest of the year (as to novenas in honor of the Virgin Mary, the procesions at Easter, etc ...). The festivity starts with the opening presented by the municipal bands together with the authorities and the presence of the Mayor. This festivity will last for a week in which the fun is guaranteed, because there are contests, dances, concerts, discos, young bulls running and bullfightings.
So go and see it this summer.
You are welcome!

What Can Children Play?

It's true that in the past, children were happy playing with a few toys or they inventend them, but they could do a lot of things freely, now if they step on the grass, people can tell them to keep off it.
If they play a game and children climb a tree or hide somewhere or do something riski on the streets people tell them no to do.
If they play football people shout at them, because children can damage their cars. If children can't do anything freely outside, they have to stay at home, so its understandable that they need new games to play with at home.

Are Children Happier Now Than in The Past?

Children in the past were happier in accordance with the few toys they owned than now? What has happened?
Children nowadays are asking for more and more toys. That will probably be because children today are more spoiled than in the past. Circumstances have changed and now there are more toys to choose in the market.
Could today's children live like clidren in the past?
In my opinion I think it could not be possible because if a child is used to living with toys to enjoy his/her life, I don't think it would be a wonderful life for them to live without toys.

Another question, are they happier now or in the past?
In my opinion children in the past, because what children like most is to be cared of than having objects and toys. In the past they used to live in a family with little money but with a lot of care, and now we want to supply all by buying toys and paying for things.
