Dear Stella,

Thanks for letting me know about your hometown.

Let me tell you about my hometown, Burano. Burano is an island in the north of Italy, about 7 km from Venice. You can take a 40-minute waterbus ride from Venice. It is famous for its colorful houses. You can take great photos wherever you are on the island. Burano is also famous for its seafood. A lot of restaurants serve great, fresh seafood at cheap prices. Burano is very quiet and peaceful. About three thousand people live here.

It is better to visit Burano in summer because it is very cold in winter.

Please write back soon. I want to know about your family.

Your friend,

Ricardo

Shopping with mother?

I’m Cathy Huang and I’m 16. Welcome to my blog. This week I’m writing about shopping with your mother. Thanks for reading!

Have you ever been shopping with your mother? I’d like to hear you say ‘Yes, and it was fun.’ But are you really telling the truth? I went to the shopping centre yesterday with my mum. She wanted to buy me a dress for her birthday party. She’s going to be 50 next weekend. So what’s the problem with that? I hear you ask.

Well, the problem is, my mother always wants to buy me what she wants, not what I want. And we want very different things. I tried on a beautiful red dress, but she said it didn’t fit.   (It was very short!) Then I tried on a long skirt, but she didn’t like the colour. (It was purple!) I was in and out of changing rooms all day and we couldn’t agree on anything. She rolled her eyes and complained about everything I tried on. It was so depressing. And so boring. By 5 o’clock my feet were killing me and I still didn’t have a dress for the party.

Next time Mum wants to take me shopping, I’m going to tell her my room is a terrible mess and I have to tidy it now. I know it’s not very nice to lie, but shopping with my mother is not fun. And, I’ve just seen a fantastic dress on eBay. It’s so chic. I’m going to look amazing at Mum’s party.

A. Read the Jo’s message and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).

Hello everyone, my name’s Jo. I am reading an interesting series of fantasy novels, Harry Potter, by the famous British author J. K. Rowling. In this series, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are my most favorite characters. They study at Hogwarts – a magic school, and they use their magic to help their friends. All the teachers and students in the school have magic, too. They can fly to school, but they cannot use their magic outside school. One day, there is a war between Hogwarts’ students and some dark magic teachers. Harry and his friends save everyone from danger. I learn a lot of good lessons about friendship from this book series. This is why I love it the most. I think you should read it too, and I hope you will share your favorite books with me. It will be great!

VIII. Read the email, and then decide whether the questions are true (T) or false (F) Hi, Marco, We are moving to our new flat on Saturday. The flat has only two bedrooms, and it has a small garden at the back. It’s good for me because it’s near my school, so I can cycle to school. When you come in the front door, there’s a long hall with a bathroom at the other end. The door on the right goes into the kitchen with the dining room behind it. The next room is the living room. It’s comfortable, sunny room and from there you can walk straight out into the garden. After that there’s my parent’s bedroom, and finally you come to my bedroom. It’s next to the bathroom. I’m writing this email on my computer at my desk under the window. All my furniture is in my room now and it looks good. Love, Alice 36. The flat doesn’t have a garden. __________ 37.
