Dear Mr Mayor

1.) I am writing to protest about the proposal for a new motorway. Many students and local people have been against the idea from the start.

2.) First, the Town Office says that the motorway bring traffic. However, in my opinion, it will pollute inviroment. Although the motorway would bring the better connection between Mlynarce and Bratislava.

3.) Despite what the government says, it is advantageous, I don´t think it is. Problems will increase. Cars on the motorway release into the atmosphere chemicals, which are harmfeel for health for example it will be very dengerous for students

4.) I think other residents should write to the government about this issue. This Wednesday I will be at the Commercial Academy to collect signatures for a petition. I think we should do everything we can to stop this motorway.

5.) I look forward to reading more letters about this issue in your newspaper.

Yours sincerely

She hates junk food such as hamburgers and never watches TV, except film.

A description of a place

My friend Ellen is a writer and she now works from home, which is one reason she moved to a bigger house. One of her biggest interests is reading and her new house has a room which is big enough to hold all her books and be her office. The house is big, but it suits her personality and lifestyle.
The house is on the outskirts of town- she wanted to live away from the centre so that she wouldn´t be disturbed by noise. It´s got such a big garden that her neighbours are pretty far away, which is good because Ellen is rather sociable and often has noisy parties. There are two large bedroom with nice views. The living room is so big that it´s also the dining room.
Ellen writes for travel books such as the Rough Guides series. When she´s at home, she spends a lot of time in the kitchen, which is such a lovely room everyone enjoys sitting in it. It´s got a old-fashioned stove and wooden floors. It´s yellow and has huge windows so it´s really light and cheerful.
I think Ellen´s house reflects her interests and personality and it´s an ideal place for her to work and relax.


A film review

Broken Flowers was directed by Jim Jarmusch and was released in 2005. It stars Bill Murray, Jessica Lange and Julie Delpy.
Don is in his late 40s. He has had many romantic relationships and the film opens with his latest girlfriend leaving him. One day he receives an anonymous letter telling him he has a son who is trying to find him. After that, Don decides to find out who wrote the letter and if really has a son. In the end, although he does not discover the truth, he finds out more about himself. The film deals with problems such as loneliness and the difficulties of being a parent. Moreover, it is a film about how truth in relationships is fundamental and about treating other people with respect. The film is neither a thriller nor a drama – it is a comedy with a bitter-sweet-ending and it is beautifully filmed. Although I felt the story and characters were rather weak, the dialogue is excellent and the film certainly makes you think.
All things considered, I would recommend this film.
A description of an event

Last week we went to an exhibition. We learnt lots about the place before we went so as not to waste any time when we got there. The exhibition had been specially designed so that people could expreriment with the machines. The exhibition was very busy as a result of being so popular – we had to wait an hour to get in because of the long queues. I tried a machine for testing your coordination. There were quides in every room in case people wanted to ask questions. The guides were very konwledgeable and, as a result, we learned a lot. We were very tired afterwards, as the exhibition was huge

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing you a complain about the services you have mentioned in your brochure about the Star Hotel, Northwold.

First af all I would like to advise you to give correct and clear informations in your brochures. Although there is nothing to complain about the staff, rooms and in gerneral the hotel, there are a lot of other details that bothered me.

I have visited the Northwold during a weekend and I expected, that the hill top castle should be open, but it was shut. I felt really disappointed. The second thing is that all the shops, cafés and art galleries were closed. I had not expected a festival theatre, but you could state, that it is open only in summer. There was a swimming pool, however, it was outdoor and not heated. The only thing I was satisfied with were the tennis courts.

On one hand the weekend was not so bad at all. On the other hand I was a little bit upset. So I want you to give more detailed informations in your brochure.

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

Yours faithfuly,

(podpis)



My favourite room

I think my favourite room is a room, where I spent at least one and half hour a day. It is a living room. My living room is small. The walls are in white for more light. The carpet is in a red color with painted blooms. The arrangment of that room is tasteful. In room there is a small table where is my computer. There is a television, a sofa and my bed. There are some wardrobes and bookcase on the right side of this room. I spend there more of my free time. I listen to my favourite music, I play computer games or watch Tv. The effect of room is very possitive me and it gives me a feeling of happiness. So I would change nothing on it.
Description of my school

The Bussines academy is located in the part of the town which is called Mlynarce. Mlynarce is located near the centre of the town Nitra.

Next to this building is a school canteen, gym and building for first-year students. On the walls there are pictures. All walls are painted of white in colour. In my opinion this school is very positive, because I have met good people there.
