Mid-term Writting Task

Part One:

Dear Helen Ryan

I'm writting to thank for the good news on the letter I received from you. As reply for your quest, I would like to travel in July because I'm finishing my last semester at university and it is impossible for me to be in the competition before that month, so taking part at the Camp California in July would be amazing.

According to the accomodations I would prefer tents, because I like being connected with nature and taking advantage of staying in an uncommon place. Besides, I think that it is important to have the chance of staying or living in a different way and not being always thinking about our own bedrooms.

As well as the accomodations, the activities that I have chosen from the list are Climbing and Photography, which are also connected with nature and I'm very good at them due that I have participated many times before in different competitions in which I normally get at the three first places. However, I know that there is always many opportunities to learn something new doing these activities and getting more experience.

On the other hand, I would like to know what is the best clothe to wear during the camp and if it is necesary to bring some money. Apart from this, please let me know at what time should I be there.

Yours sincerely
Conny Arellano


Part Two:
- Short Story

They were sad to leave, but they had no choice if they wanted to stop fighting with their neighbours who were destroying everything in the village after taking part at the most dangerous gang of the city.

The old couple who lived in the village for 40 years had to take their hardest decision of moving from the city because every year the village where they used to live was getting worse. One day, while the old man was fixing a broken bench outside his house, a drunk man was driving a car and almost killed the old man when he crushed with the bench breaking it again. At the next day a little boy started throwing stones and broke 2 windows, which one of those was fomr the old man's house.

After 5 years standing this situation the old couple decided to leave the house that saddily was pulled down because of the mad neighbours.
