Cinema

Hello, my name is Laia and in this oral presentation I'm going to talk about cinema.
Do you often go to the cinema? Well, I don't go to the cinema very often but when I go, I enjoy it a lot. When I go to the cinema, I prefer to watch action and comedy movies. For example, the last film I watched was Lucy and personally I didn't like it although it was an action film. Scarlett Johansson played the character of Lucy. I like the way she acts and some other films she has made such as The Avengers or Captain America.
Do you prefer to watch movies at home or at the cinema? .... For me, there are many pros and cons for both options. A positive reason for watching movies at home is that you can lay in the sofa in the position you want, you can replay a scene again, stop the movie for going to the toilet or other things, and in the cinema you can't do it. However, if you watch the film in the cinema you can watch it before the film comes out on DVD.
Do you think it's expensive to go to the cinema? ... For me it is. I think the discounts they make you aren't very useful because the money you will save will be wasted in another thing such as more popcorns and drinks.

Tenagers Against Petrol Station

10 Dene Gardens
Dover
HA3 8HB
5th April 2015


Dear Sir o Madam,


I represent a group called 'Teenagers Against Petrol Station'. I am writing to you because we are concerned about plans to build a petrol station in our area.


In our opinion, petrol stations are not safe, so if there is one near our town, the residents might be in danger. If we have a petrol station here, it will be a problem for a long time. Renewable energy, on the other hand, is a better alternative as it is cleaner and safer.


We have therefore decided to take action, and we are going to organize a protest. For this reason, we are sending a poster and we hope that you will support us and help to publicize this event.


Your faithfully,


Laia Tortós-Sala
Group Coordinator
Teenagers Against Petrol Station

Madonna

33 years after her debut single, Madonna has released her 13th album, Rebel Heart. Both Avicii and Kanye West worked on it. There's a gospel choir, piano, guitat and reggae too! The songs have religious references, and the album cover is designed to shock. Madonna hasn't changed at all!
