Writing unit 7: Write an opinion essay


The government plans to introduce a new law which will mean that the students, will go to school on Saturday mornings in order to improve the level of education.
In the first place, In my opinion this would have positive for our education consequences but it won't be a good idea for teenagers.
It probably improve our lever in all the country.
I think that this is unfair because on Saturday, teachers should work and the state will pay you more. And now, this is not good knowing we are in crisis. Ther is an alternative method to achieve the government's aims that approved a new law.
Finally, the alternative methods about the plans to introduce school on saturday are with internet or like always, going to the school. The results shoudn't be agreed for guys.

Unit 9: Console and encourage.

Adam - Hey, Nandu, you look a bit down. What's the matter?

Nandu - Oh, I've just heard that my sister has got a job in Manchester and he's moving away.

Adam - Oh, right. Sorry to hear that. It isn't the end of the world though.

Nandu - I know, but I'm really going to miss him.

Adam - Don't take it too badly - at least he won't be very far away and you can visit him. Manchester's a really cool city.

Nandu - That's true, I suppose.

Adam - Look at it this way - if he hadn't got that job, he'd have been really disappointed.

Nandu - Yeah, maybe you're right.

Adam - Cheer up! Come on - let's go to a café or something.

Nandu - OK. Thanks, Adam. I feel a bit better now.
