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.

Becoming a university teacher.

Hi Álvaro, I hope you're well. I'm writing you bcause i'm going to try to work at a university teaching history (like Pousa)
You know I've always loved history and everybody knows that I haven't got any problem working in that area

I'm not afraid to teach other people, but I can't deny that it will remind me a lot of my days as a student and I will b reminded often our funny lessons. But I wont give them so much work because it was a hell at the time.

I got a bad feed back in one history evaluation but what they don't know won't hurt them.

Let me know what you think. Dont hold back, I want the truth!

Catch you later.

Guille.
