the best wedding

Subject: David's wedding

Hi, Cris!
I have to tell you the identity of my colleague's bride!
So, last week I had the best wedding I've ever been to, it was a really heartfelt ceremony, then the place where the wedding took place was very original.
The theme of the marriage was the Spanish culture and the ceremony took place in Seville. Miriam (the bride!) was  dressed in white lace and she looked gorgeous with a pearl comb. Something similar happened with the groom, David, was wearing a black suit with a red tie with white dots.
Finally I should tell you that I met Nico there, he was also invited to the wedding. I talked to him  and the conversation was fine, like the weather of the day!
I'm looking forward to your answer.
Kisses,
                 Ana.

David's wedding

Subject: David's wedding
Hello Laura,
I'm going to tell you about David and Nerea's wedding. It was a wonderful experience because they got married at Santiago's cathedral. The bride was gorgeous, she wore a beautiful white wedding dress with a long train and she had a bouquet of pink and white roses. The groom wore a very nice black suit. All the guests were pretty smart and there were a lot of them. The ceremony was moving and we could feel the love of the bride and the groom. The party after the ceremony was the best party I've ever been to. There were 5 courses, screaming kids running wild, the ceremonial cutting of the cake by the bride and groom and a beautiful speech. In fact, it was an increduble ceremony. And guess who was there- my ex was there and he was as handsome as ever!

Kisses,
Fátima.

An Email To A Friend. By Mercedes

Hi, long time no see. How are you? I heard you're coming soon...

I'm writing to you from my room, if it could have any name. The Hall of Residence it could be horrible! It's very small and dark and they aren't very clean. It's not only that it's dirty and small but also at the night I have a snoring flatmate, I can't sleep because it's very noisy. A word of warning, DON'T COME, it's a hell-hole and it's dingy and flithy. 

I recommend that you go with a host family. It's much better because it's not far from school and you would have tasty food. The room could be small but probably it would be clean. You won't have a snoring flatmate or you won't hear strange noises. You probably would have sports facilities nearby. My Residence is really terrible, I hate it! Think about your decision, please. 

Have a good trip and look for a new suitcase and for your pasport too, it's really important!

Hope to see you soon and please, give me news about your family,

Mercedes.

Hope you are well.
I heard that you are planning to stay for a month at the same Hall of Residence as me. you better choose another one. So far, it is  a nasty place where I have had to deal with a lot of problems.

My room was full of dust, and the bathroom was filthy too. I think they have dogs in the basement because I heard squealing sounds at night, and now it will give you the chills. The food is terrible. It´s the worst thing of all because I think they don´t pay atention to that kind of details.

So, I hope you take my advice. Choose the Hall of Residence that I recomend you on the link, all of my english friends say that it´s wonderful and clean. I hope you enjoy this experience and please give me some news about your family.

Hi, long time no see. How are you? How are your paretns and your dogs?

I'll tell you about my Hall of Residence in Oxford because next month you'll come. I advise you....It's a terrible place to stay!

Rooms are small, dark and not clean. My flatmate is good by day, but at night I hate her. She is a snoring flatmate. I can't sleep and I'm very tired.

 Other problems is the food It's horrible! It's bland. But near the Residence we've a McDonald's. That is OK.

 And the shower....OMG the shower! The drains are clogged. But we've got a lake near the Residence so you can wash yourself there.

But if you prefer a host family I can recommend some friends for you to stay with. they tell me it's good. Not far from school, the rooms are small but clena, the food's tasty.

Well, I'll fibish because I'm going to the cinema with some friends. 

Please, give me some news about you and your family.

Kisses,

           Susana.

Hi, long time no see. I hope you and your family are well. I´m writing to you from the Hall of the Residence in Oxford. But it is more like a hostel than a residence. Everithing is terrible: the rooms where we sleep are very small for two people and there isn´t enough light to do my homework or study.Also, the rooms are very dirty, so it´s not comfortable. As well as that, I have a snoring flatmate.

You don´t know how difficult it is to sleep all night with him snoring. Sometimes it is really impossible to concentrate on something while he is sleeping. Another problem is that the drains in the shower are clogged. So, you have to have a very fast shower. Because if you don´t, water will floud the room.

My mum told me that next year you are coming here. So I want to give you  some advice. If you can, don´t choose to came to a Hall of Residence. The best thing you can do it is go to a host family. You will be more comfortable and your room will be cleaner.

I cant wait to see you. And please give me some news about you.

Hughs and kisses.

An email to a friend by Raquel

Hi, long time no see. It's nice to hear from you again. I hope you are well.

I heard you're going to come to the Hall of Residence to take an English course in Oxford as I'm doing at the moment. Just a word of warning: think twice. I'm not exagerating if I say this is the worst place I ever see. It's not only the rooms are dingy (dark and small), but also filthy (everything is dirty, I'd say very disgusting). Nevertheless, the worst things come at the night. That means that there are strange snoring sounds.

I believe that you should change your reservation and forget about it. Just run away and don't look back! I have found a nice place where you can live. This is a small  house with a host family, not far from school. Although rooms are small, they are all clean. What's more, you can find sports facilities nearby - I tell you that because I know  you like playing hockey.

Please, give me some news about your family. Hope to see you soon. Willl you visit me when you arrive?

An email to a friend by Alba

Hi Raquel, long time no see. It's nice to hear from you again!

I know that you're looking foward to come to Oxford and to live with me. I'd love that too! But I think that it is better for you not to come to this horrible hall of residence. I hate it! It's not only that the rooms are like a cave (small and dark). But also are dirty. I live in a kind of pig's house. For me, the worst is my flatmate. She's very snobbish and boring. I can't stand her squeacky voice!

I feel that you should live with a host family. Although the rooms are small, they're much better than residence's rooms. The food is actually nice. And the shopping centre is nearby. That's a good thing for you! I know you're keen on buying clothes.

In conclusion, my advise is to run away far from this hall of residence and stay with a nice host family.

Are you nervous about the trip? Did you tell your grandfather that you have a boyfriend? I know that he will understand...

See you soon!

Job Application

Hey Sara,

I hope you´re well. So, there´s something I wanted to pick your brain about.

I´m thinking of applying for a position as a shop assistant. You know how much I love clothes so I thought it would be ideal for me, because I´ve always dreamt of sharing my passion with other fashion lovers.

You know I´m outgoing, enthusiastic and am really into fashion work. Everybody knows that I´m very talkative and I can think on my feet. I know, I know, I´m the laziest  person in the world, and maybe the clients won´t like me, but my future boss shouldn´t know that.

Those two years that I worked for Pull and Bear have  made me very confident and after that experience I have better interpersonal skills.

Working for Pull and Bear was hell at the time but I can´t deny that I got hands on experience of the fashion industry.

Let me know what you think. Don´t hold back, I want the truth!

Catch you later.

Job Application

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apply for the position of secretary that I saw at advertised on your website.

Since I was a child I´ve been an organised person and I´ve always loved to help people to get better and keep on top of things. So this job would truly be a dream come true. I can´t think of anything better than being able to control all the schedules of the management team.

I´m outgoing, enthusiastic, reliable and I really enjoy being with new people. I´m focused too because when I start something I always like to finish it. I´m efficient with all my work because I take pride in managing my time well so I never run out of time. I have a great memory and can improvise with ease because I have interpersonal skills. I work well under pressure and can adapt to new situations easily taking initiative when necesary.

My work with Microsoft Software Department for one year heightened my ambition to work my way up within the company but I would prefer to work with  into a large and important business company like yours. I also learned how to work in a team enviroment as it allowed me to interact with different groups of persons. My main duties were connecting the company with posible sponsors.

My period of work experience with Microsoft was invaluable as it gave me the opportunity to apply my knowlegde .

I bellieve I would be a valuable addition to the Open Office Typography Department and look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Eli and Noe

Email telling a friend I'm applying for a position as a trainer at Tommy's kindergarten

Hey Raquel,

I hope you're well. So, there's something I wanted to pick your brain about.

I'm thinking of applying for a position as a trainer at Tommy's kindergarten. You know how much I love looking after kids so I think it would be ideal for me. I've always dreamt of working as a teacher.

You know I'm outgoing, enthusiastic and am really into teaching. Everybody knows my memory is legendary and I can think on my feet. I know, I know, I'm the most absentminded person ever but what they don't know won't hurt them!

This year that I worked for you, looking after your little brother have made me really confident and skilled when dealing with children. So, I'm not afraid of being in charge of kids, looking after them and teaching them.

Baby sitting those German kids was hell at the time but I can't deny that I got hands on experience on dealing with cheeky monkeys!

Let me know what you think. Don't hold back, I want the truth!

Catch you later!

A wedding to remember

Dear Pabla,

Like I told you last week, I was invited to Beyoncé and Jay-Z´s wedding. So I´m going to tell you some things about the big day.

The bride was dressed in hawaiian clothes: coconuts over her tits and a skirt made of palm leaves. The groom was dressed in a green hawaiian skirt, a white suitjacket and a hat. They were so funny and gorgeous.

They arrived on water skiis to the beach. During the ceremony a group of musicians played typical hawaiian music with ukeleles. After that, some guests gave us a surprise hula dance. At night, there was a DJ and we danced like teenagers all night.

As for the food, there was a lot of yummy food like jellyfish, every type of shellfish and an enormous cake.

As the bride and groom are famous, there were some important guests, for example Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Leonardo Dicaprio... They were dressed very elegantly, just like the rest of the guests.

You'll never believe who I saw!!! Pedro was there with a new girlfriend on his arm. They make a lovely couple but when I spoke to his girlfriend, she was a bit standoffish. Apart from that, the wedding was great and I enjoyed myself so much.

Kisses,
Adriana.

My bestfriend's wedding

Dear Lupa, 

Hi, I need to tell you how Cris' wedding was. First of all, everything was alright, the guests were so sweet and the groom was nice too. 

The ceremony was in a restaurant near the beach, next to the pub where we met last Saturday. The food wasn’t anything special, but what made it so much fun was the vibe, which was definitely set by the bride and groom, they were dancing until the dawn.

She bride looked  very pretty. She was black hair with very dark eyes and an incredible intelligence. I talked with her for a moment and she looked very happy.

Yes that was a typical weddingand there were lots of people.

In my opinion it was de best wedding in the world and I had fun with everybody.

My cousin's wedding

One of the most memorable wedding ceremonies that I attended and enjoyed was my cousin Ruby's wedding. It was in the year 2007 and I was 21 years old at that time.

My cousin Ruby got married and she was the daughter of my eldest maternal uncle. Among our cousins she was the eldest and she was 24 years old when she got married to a doctor. I was at the wedding from the very beginning: I was even there when the bride left her father-in-law's house. It was a typical wedding that followed the general traditions and customs.

The whole house was decorated, we celebrated for 3 days, lots of relatives and neighbours came to congratulate the bride and they brought some gifts for her as well. The celebration began fin the morning when my sister sat for her bridal makeover. She was making such a fuss over it, saying that her handbag was not properly matching her shoes and the eye make up was too loud and her hair was not properly done. But at end of it all she was indeed looking very beautiful.

In the evening all the relatives came over and house looked like a sea of colours. Everybody was so well dressed and looking so pretty, wearing new and traditional dresses. They enjoyed, sang and danced and everyone cried when the bride left the house.

When everybody left and the house was quiet, the elders said a prayer of thanks for the happy ending of the ceremony. And we the youngsters came up with the resolution that we will stay with our parents after marriage to which all the elders laughed out in unison and we knew that the air of sadness was lifted and the occasion was ending in happiness.

My friends wedding

Hello, my name is Begoña. Last week I went to my best friend's wedding. Sara got married to Alex.
When I arrived at the wedding I saw Sara, I think she's the most beautiful bride that ever seen in my life. She wore a long white dress with pearls. And she wore a heardress.
Her wedding was in Ares, in a big garden, next to her house. They got married in the court.
In my opinion it was very emotional. I cried a lot when Sara said "Yes, I do"
When the ceremony finished , we went to the dinner. For my it was a bad menu because I don't like shellfish but the desserts were very delicious. They were chocolate. When Sara had to give the bouquet of rouses, she came towards  me and and gave me the bouquet.
We had just eaten and started the party. I danced a lot with  my friends from University.
In my opinion it was de best wedding in the world and I had fun with everybody.
