My sister

Sheila, who is my sister, is 22 years old. She lives with my parents and me. She is tall and thin, brown-eyed and she has got long brown hair. She is dark skinned and she has got a friendly face.

Sheila, who is extroverted with everybody, is an expressive and sociable person and she makes friends very easily, but she is very impulsive and gets angry very quickly. She is also generous, funny and untidy. She likes going to the cinema and her favourite kind of films are terror films. She also likes football, her favourite club is Real Madrid and she watches their matches on T.V.

In my opinion, Sheila is a good sister and normally we get on well togheter. Sometimes we argue but that's normal between with brothers and sisters. I think my sister is a very generous and good person, but her worst characteristic is that she is very impulsive. She is very funny so I laugh a lot with her and I often go to the cinema with her.

Dear sir,

I read your magazine last week, and I'm writing in reply to Maria James's letter about school uniforms. It was interesting letter, but I disagree with some of her opinions.

On the one hand, I agree that school uniforms aren't always stylish, but I don't think that they're practical, because people can't see who you are and how you feel withuniforms. I don't think people spend all of their money on clothes, because everybody will buy clothes for the weekend just the same. Finally, I think it's easy to choose your clothes every morning.

I have never wanted a school uniform, but I think people don't like wearing school uniforms because to wear the same clothes is very repetitive.

One day, I'd be intersted to wear a school uniform.

Crisis at christmas

Christmas has arrived and children want a lot of toys, but it is complicated for families because of the crisis.

Families have always bought toys for children but this year with the crisis, they will take into account the prices. Everybody will go to the shops and buy the cheapest toys, thinking about what the children want. However, this means that parents will have to look around a lot of shops to compare different prices.

For the last years families went to a shop with their children and they bought a lot of toys for all the family, but now families will go shopping and buy less toys.

The crisis doesn't only affect families but also the shops, their prices will be very competitive.
Therefore, in my opinion I think it will be the departament stores or chain stores that will sell the most toys, because the small shops can't compete with them.
