  1. Dear Matilda White:
    I’m writing to you in order to answer the questions you’ve made.
    I have booked you into the Bristol Hotel because is the nearest one to the station and you only have to cross the street and walk towards the right a little bit to find it. Besides, you will recognize it easily because of its size (is the biggest one in Westbury) and its incomparable elegance.
    If you have time before giving the talk in my school you can go to the Castle excursion, it’s very interesting and doesn’t last long, moreover if you like taking photos I’m sure you will not regret it.
    Finally, about the meal, I have booked tables at “The Angry Pepper” restaurant. I thought it was the best option because the menu is huge and you can eat from vegetarian food to the finest cuts of meat.
    I look forward to seeing you,
    Florencia González

  2. Dear Ms White
    First of all thanks for accepting the invitation. Here I'm giving you the answers to your questions.
    I have booked you into the Bristol Hotel, it is very close to the station: You have to go straight High Street and at the first corner turn the left and there is the Hotel. It is easly to recognize.
    You have told me that you are supposed to have time before giving your talk, so I think that you could visit Westbury Castle. It is near to the hotel, and you will love it, there are many things to learn about it.
    Finally, you also asked me about the meal in the evening. I have booked tables at Qontinent restaurant. It is very famous for cooking the best pastas and having the best fishes you have ever tried. I am sure that it is going to like you.
    I will pick you up to the station and take you to the hotel.
    Yours sincerely.

    1. Hi Nicol, the idea is good, but you made some SERIOUS mistakes. I give you a 7.
      CHECK:
      - turn left
      - easy to recognize
      - pasta and fish are uncountable nouns.
      - you're going to like it (inversion)
      - pick you up FROM.

    Thanks for answering my email! I'm writing to you in order to give you more information.
    I have booked you into the Bristol Hotel because it's the nearest one and I think you will like it. You only have to cross the street and walk one block to the right. It's a big Hotel, so you will recognize it.
    If you love going sightseeing you could visit Westburry Castle. It's in front of the Hotel and I'm sure you will find it interesting. You can take photos or just go to see all the fabulous things that are inside it.
    Oh, and about the meal in the evening... I have booked tables at "Chichilos". It's a popular restaurant wich serves seafood. But if you don't like it we can go to another because that block is full of restaurants! I will pick you up at your hotel if it's okay for you!
    If you have any questions you can send me another email.

    I look forward to seeing you soon.

  4. Dear Matilda White;
    Let me thank you for having accepted my invitation, I will now tell you all the information you need.
    I have booked you into The Bristol Hotel as it's the nearest from the station and you won't have to travel by any means of transport to get to it because it's infront of the station but on the right side. I have attached a map for you, just in case.
    If you have free time in the morning you should visit Westbury Castle, it's really close to your hotel and there you can learn about Westbury history.
    And last but not least, you asked me about the restaurant meal in the evening. My father has a restaurant which serves all type of food so I asked him to open it only for us. My mother is going to pick you up at your hotel and the students and I will be waiting for you at the restaurant.
    I look forward to meeting you soon.

  6. Dear Ms White

    Thank you very much for your e-mail of 10 March. I was delighted to hear about your visit to our school.

    I am writing to you in order to give you the information you needed.
    I have booked you into Bristol Hotel. You can easily get there on foot. It is opposite the station,in the High Street.
    May I suggest that you telephone me upon arrival?

    You absolutely have to visit Westbury Castle. It dates back roman times so there are a lot of fascinating ruins and amazing architecture which I am sure will interest you. It is allowed to take photographs, so it would be a good idea bringing a camera.

    Finally, you asked me about the restorant meal I have planned for the evening. I have booked tables in one of the world´s leading casual dining , called ´Tom Vander´. which has the youngest and the most succesful chefs working in Greece today.
    My students and academics authorities will be waiting for us to share a nice moment.
    If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
    I look forward to seeing you in Westbury.

    Your sincelery,

    Thank you for have accepted my invitation. I am sorry, I had forgotten to tell you that I had booked you into the Bristol hotel, you can easily find it because it´s the nearest to the station anyway there is a map below which will show you how to get there from the station.
    About what to do in Westbury before your talk at the school, I think you should visit the castle which is just in front of the station and also very close to the school.
    As I told you, I have planned a meal at Lougi´s restaurant; it will be by ending the day at seven o’clock. In my opinion this would be a great way of concluding the visit because you can meet the student and share a good time with us.
    If any points are not clear, ask me!
    I looking forward to seeing you on 12 may too.

  8. Dera Matilda White,
    I read your email and I'm glad you're desirous to come!
    First of all, you'll stay in the Bristol Hotel, which is the nearest from the station. You have to walk along High Street one square, then cross the street, and there it is. I'm sure you won't get lost but in case you need it, I'll give you a little map.
    About your free time, I'd say you can go to the Castle. It's a really nice place. It's in front of the station, just across the street. You can order something to drink or anything you'd like.
    Let me tell you about the plans I've made for the evening: We'll go to 'Dc Tuca', a new restaurant of the city. I must say it's very luxurious and the food they serve in there is the best. There are a lot of menus, so you can choose between a great variety of meals. Don't worry about the price, I'm inviting you so you won't pay for anything.

    Hope to see you soon.
    Kisses.

  10. Dear Matilda:

    It is nice to hear about you again. I am sorry I had forgotten to mention the hotel. It is called Briston Hotel and you can get there just by crossing the street. Anyway, you can check the map I sent you with this letter.

    If I were you, I would visit the castle. It is a quite old place where you can find out many susprising things about our history and traditions. It has a fairly nice atention as well.

    Talking about the restaurant meal, I have booked a table at a new one that is called Sunrise. I really like it because It is trendy, friendly and lively so in my opinion you will not regret it.

    Thanks again for giving us this enormous opportunity.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

  11. Dear Ms.White:

    The Westbury Language school and myself are really grateful that you decided to visit us. I'm very much afraid of the things I missed in my last email, I booked you into the Bristol Hotel which is just a few blocks from the station, I think two, perhaps three blocks away; you'll be fine on foot.

    What to do in Westbury? that is an easy one. I totally recommend you the Westbury Castle, an enormous building surrounded by a beautiful landscape. It is such a magnificent place to visit.

    We are going to have a meal at the Mio Posto. It's an Italian restaurant with a great variety of pasta and exotic pizzas. I'm sure you will be delighted.

    I am as well looking forward to seeing you on May, Matilda.

    I want to apologize for the missing information. I booked you in the Bristol hotel which is located very near from the station, it’s opposite the station and you can go there by foot but if you have any problem to find the hotel (not probable) call me (03487-15-684167).

    Regarding to your free time before going to the school, I would recommend you to go to Westbury Castle. It is a very nice place to visit and there you can relax watching It’s beautiful gardens.

    You also asked me for some information about the restaurant. I booked some tables in a restaurant called "Cosme Fulanito". In there you can eat the best omelette du fromage on the whole world.

    First of all thank you for answering my email. Now, I will answer all your questions.
    I have booked you into the Bristol Hotel because in my opinion is the best of the town and it's near the station so you don't have to take any transport. You only have to cross through the street and walk one block to the right until you reach the hotel. Anyway, I have attached a little map for you.
    If you have free time and you want to do something interesting, I hardly recommend you to go and visit the castle. It's really close to your hotel so you don't have yo travel or walk a lot.
    About the meal in the evening. I have booked a table in one of the greatest restaurants here in Westbury called " Bubba Gump " where you can eat any type of food. Don't worry about the transport because my brother will pick you up at your hotel and the students and I will be waiting for you at the restaurant.
    I look forward to seeing you soon here in Westbury.

I booked you into the Bristol Hotel which is just a few blocks from the station, and I think you´ll have no problem to walk this little distance.

    There are a lot of things you can do in Westbury, like visiting the Westbury castle, which is surrounded by a beautiful scenery and you can watch the incredible landscape from inside the building.

    Why not having meal at Pelegosto restaurant?. I´m sure you´ll be very satisfied with the food they serve, there is a wide variety of it, ranging from ethnic food to foreign.

    I book you into the Bristol Hotel, which is just a few blocks from the station. You can see it in 2 to 3 minutes of walking, is on a right corner. It's a notorious place.

    You can do lots of things in Westbury, for example, visit the Westbury Castle, is not far away from the hotel. It's a interesting place for most of people, and also relaxing if you want to enjoy your visit there.

    And at the night you can go to Rosewood Restaurant, which is in the center of the city, where the food is awesome and the attention better than that.

    I'm so sorry for missing all those detalis, let me tell you the information you need.
    I booked you into the Bristol Hotel, which is close to the station, you just have to turn right after leaving the building and walk to the next block, you will find the hotel in the other side of the street. However, it doesn´t matter if you forget this instructions, because, you will instantly see the hotel's building after leaving the station. It's an enormous and vintage construction, builded in 1902. I'm sure you will enjoy staying there. It has a museum in the basement, exponing pictures and objects from the time the hotel began its tourism activity.
    If you like visiting this kind of places, there is also a wonderful old castle in front of the station. I have never been there, but a lot of people told me it is beatiful. I can reserve you a place for a tour guide around the castle so that you can visit it the day you are arriving. Please let me know if you would be interested.
    The meal I have planned is quite simple, we are eating in an Italian restaurant, in the centre of the city. Don´t worry about getting there, I will pick you up and we will go together by car.
    Don't forget to send me an e-mail if you need something else.

  20. TEACHER , ESTA COMPOSITION ES DE FLOR.G, ELLA NO PUDO SUBIRLA

    When Stella walked into the house, she was astonished to see a suitcase in the hall. She was meant to be alone because her parents had gone on a trip. After remaining paralyzed for a few seconds, she decided to approach to it. The suitcase was a very big one and it was full of stickers from all around the world. The first thought she had was that her parents were back but they weren’t supposed to return until next month. She immediately called her parent’s name but nobody answered so she began to look for them in all the rooms. For her surprise, her room was locked. She tried to look through it but it was covered. Then, she heard someone trying to open her house’s door. Stella rushed but it was too late, the stranger was into the kitchen. Finally, she walked into it, determined to discover the strange and for her amazement it was her grandma! They hug one another and she told Stella the entire story. She had arranged with Stella’s parents to go to visit her for a month and, the next, she would stay looking after their home at the same time Stella was travelling with her parents.

  21. When Stella walked into the house, she was astonished to see a suitcase in the hall. That was because she lived alone, she only had a unique son but, he didn’t live with her anymore.
    For a moment she though that her boy was at home, she called and looked for him for several minutes but he wasn´t there, so she decided to phone him and for the woman’s surprise he was far away from her house. “Mm, this is very strange” she though watching to the suitcase.
    It has an ancient and mysterious appearance, like as it came from the past or an old person owned it. After analyzing it for a couple of minutes, she opened it. Inside the suitcase there were newspapers dated on 26th May, 1910, an old picture of a man, a golden watch and a wallet with money. She stared at the picture very carefully, she knew that man but she didn’t remember where she had seen him. As she went to sleep, she continued thinking. Finally she felt asleep and she had a dream, in the dream that man appeared and showed her a box in her wardrobe. When she woke up the next morning she went to the wardrobe and found a picture of all her dad’s family and the man was there with a suspiciously look. It took a few minutes for her to realize that he was her dead grandfather. When she ran down the stairs to look for the suitcase, it wasn’t there anymore. Poor Stella! She get so confuse! What did that mean? Was that a signal o something? Was her grandfather trying to contact her? …

  23. Friendship today
    Nowadays more and more people say that friendship is completely different than what it used to be. Because many of them pretend to have a lot of friends, real friends, but this is not true.
    Let´s see something very related to friendship that has had a big change through the time: the communication. Most of people have celphone and Internet, so they are constantly connected and talking with other people at the same time. However, this doesn’t mean they are true friends. Do you have a close relation with all your friends from Facebook, Twitter and My Space? Of course not.
    Friendship is still the same, and definitely it wouldn´t be good having hundreds of best friends.
    Something real is that you never know, when you are getting to know someone, if he or she is going to be a friend in the future. That is the reason of why you have to be sociable and show a big smile while meeting an unknown person.
    You should never miss and opportunity of having a new friend. You will see that when you have a true friend, you love spending time with him or her. Just because you appreciate the special company or feel comfortable with. Do not forget that friends can also have discussions and different points of views, which is good, because that is how you learn to listen other opinions about all kind of topic and respect them.
    Friendship is beautiful.

    Friendship Today

    How do yo make friends nowadays? It is not as easy as it seems right? You can go to a night club or attend a gym twice a week but it does not mean that people you spend time with into that places become your Friends.
    My best friend is called Camila, who is an exellent person. I met her for the first time ten years ago at a school brake. People like her is difficult to find. It happens that sometimes people try to make friends at the incorrect places. For instance, I once knew a person at a bus.It was funny but we never talked to each other again so.. that was all!
    It may also happen to you that you want your friends to think just as you do, but...It is difficult to agree on everything. You need to accept the way they are.
    To sum up, I think it is really interesting to gather with new people but I recommend you to pick the right places and be open minded to do it!

  25. Friendship Today

    Some people believe that there are many ways of making friends.
    Most of them make friends at kindergarden, school or work,like me, but there are a lot who are very shy that prefer making friends on blogs, chats and social networks.It depends on you and your personality.
    Despite of this, you have to be careful.You will meet thousand people but some of them cant be called 'friend'.
    A good and a true Friend has some qualities that you have to know.
    First of all, a friend is not going to tell you what you want to hear. He or She will tell you exactly what he or she thinks or the truth. Secondly, you maybe won't agree in everything with him or her. You can have different opinions or ideas about something, which is usual and useful to underestand others points of views, and it doesn't mean that it is the end of your friendship!
    Finally, he or she will be always there to support and help you if you are in trouble, like a member of your family.
    So, remember that It's a natural process.Friendship is a feeling which makes one happy and comfort.
